But Payback Is a Mother Fa Ya
A raw, faith-filled financial comeback story for anyone forced to rebuild after one decision changed everything. Written in real time — with the outcome still unfolding.
New passages are added as the manuscript grows.
At 11:54 p.m., I woke up thinking about the $359,000 I owed. The house was quiet, but my mind was not. I had helped people understand money for more than 30 years. Now I was the one searching for answers — and asking God how I was going to fight another financial battle.
There is a moment in every good-faith deal where you stop reading and start believing. That's the moment I keep returning to on the page — not to condemn myself, but to understand her, that earlier version of me.
I thought if I could just find the money, the peace would follow. What I've learned is that peace is a separate decision. Money is a math problem. Peace is a faith problem. I'm doing both — one line at a time.
