I've been reading books, listening to podcasts (Josh Dorkin does kinda look like Adam Levine's cousin), and watching youtube videos and HGTV to educate myself.I'm planning on being debt free by November, and that's when i'll start putting all that learning to good use, and after being a bit covert on BP, I'm convinced you all can help me get started and be better educated.Any advice on my continuing education would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!
