@ Risk Theater: Gazelle Intense Sunday Edition.

I got an overwhelmingly positive response after putting up the last video so I decided to make it a weekly addition to the site! Thanks for the feedback folks.

Ok so pretty much like last time, this video has another surprise ending. Just when it looks like all is lost... well click the vid and see for yourself!





So how do ya like that? The buck fakes out not only the cheetah but the hyena TOO and skips away singing ~Hi hater, hi hater, hi hater, you see me, hi hater LOL ~ (hit the link for a snipet if you dont already know...)

To me this is a great illustration of the fact that although your finances may seem like they're being attacked from multiple angles, you can recover if you hang in there! The gazelle could have called it quits when the cheetah had him by the THROAT, but he didnt. Instead he composed himself, waited for the right time, and then got up out of there with the quickness!

I hope you take this to heart and realize it's never too late to get in the debt elimanation game... especially when you're "gazelle intense" about it!

Have a great week!

Today I thought I'd do something new... open up the floor for whatever personal finance topic you might want to discuss. Got questions on budgeting? Ask away. Need advice on how to get started? I'm at your service.

Feel free to either email me your question or comment, or simply post it yourself in the comments section.

That's all to it, so lets PLAY!

PS: Today only as an added bonus, the first person to hit me back will get a free slurpee on the house! Nah scratch that, free slurpees for everyone!!

Welcome To The Next Level...

Many of you have waited weeks (and some of you have even waited months!) to find out what this is all about... and we are glad to say that the wait is finally over!

Today my wife and I unveil the first tangible fruits of the larger vision that has been entrusted to us. Those fruits come in the form of 3 separate blogs.

The one you are reading right now is @Risk Living. It is meant to be my personal blog about our journey to eliminate all of our consumer debt in the next 2 years. It's our hope that it will 1. Bless and encourage those who are on the debt-dumping path already. 2. Inspire others to join us by proving it can be done. 3. Serve as a voice of reason against the financial myths told by the mass media and greedy corporations. 4. Forever document for our children exactly when, where, and how things changed. And to honor our parents by exemplifying all they hoped we would be. (Pardon me I got a little emotional there lol.)

The 2nd blog is Basically Wright. It was created by my wife to be her personal blog where she could not only document our journey to debt freedom from her vantage point, but also as a platform for her unique insights on wellness, weight management, and work-life balance.

The 3rd blog takes both of our voices and combines them to focus on spiritual issues such as Stewardship, Ministry, Marriage Enrichment and truly living a healthy, Christ-centered lifestyle. Mywrightsolutions is the online media hub for The Wright Solutions or TWS for short, the parent company we have formed to house these outlets and others we will bring to you in the future.

So there you have it, It's official now, and it's all for you! We envision these sites as a place for us to connect with you, and for you to connect with each other. We encourage discussion, questions, viewpoints, and the exchange of ideas.

Lastly, we want to dedicate this to all of you who helped position us for this moment with your time, resources, support, and love. It is out of thanks to you that we launch this venture!

Be Blessed,

Adrian Wright (@W)
