Not having a budget can ruin your plans to get out of debt. If you’re not already in debt, the lack of a budget can get you there. In the basic sense, a budget is just a plan for spending and saving your money.
Why is a financial plan a crucial key for debt management?
Imagine taking a roadtrip across the country without a directions or compass. Sure, you might get there after many detours, turn-arounds, and delays. Or you could get a roadmap, map out your trip, and get there with a lot less trouble.
It’s the same way with managing debt. You could successfully get out of debt without a budget, but how long would it take and how much would it cost you. Instead, living out a budget will make getting out of debt much easier.
A budget will help you figure out exactly how much you can afford to spend to get out of debt. Not only that, it helps you figure out where to squeeze more money from your debt.
Once your debt’s paid off, a budget can help you keep your finances on track to prevent you from getting back into debt. A budget will help keep your spending under control so you don’t have to rely on Credit Card Debt to make ends meet.

I have invested enormous time and quite literally dedicated my life over the last decade to understanding the collapse of Western forests as mankind has always known them – and in developing product lines that utilize this standing dead timber.
We specialize in “Blue Pine, The Wood That Mother Nature Paints”, (A.K.A as beetle kill wood, blue stain wood, pine beetle wood.
We provide both unfinished and pre-finished flooring, siding, paneling, trim, tops, mantles, and specialty lumber for furniture and crafts. Each and every piece of our Blue Pine is truly one of a kind and features beautiful random blue-grey colored wood coursing up through the white pine. Other colors are less frequent but you will also various shades of red, orange, and even some pink, yellow, green, and maroon mixed in.
One look at the awesome and unique natural beauty of this standing dead timber and you will immediately see why we call it “The Wood That Mother Nature Paints”!
Would love to get our business and product information on this site, as well as to provide information to educate readers as to the dire situation we face in all Western states and Canada as billions of trees, spanning about 140 million acres at a 70-90% death rate, are killed by the voracious attacks of the Mountain Pine Beetles, the Spruce Beetles, and others.
Our Western forests are now releasing more carbon than they are absorbing – in essence the forests have become a carbon source instead of a carbon sink. Ecological changes are occurring rapidly and it is highly unlikely that our forests will be able to adjust and survive as we have always known them.
Billions of dollars will be expended and lost protecting our communities and infrastructure of roads, power, communications, water, and recreational areas.
It is increasingly critical that we utilize this ‘gift of nature’ whenever feasible for lumber, biomass, and bio-fuels.
But there are several problems that need to be overcome to make utilization feasible…
We must educate the public as to the problem and the products that can be derived from this devastation.
We must make it profitable to loggers, sawmills, and those that distribute wood products.
And more…
I look forward to hearing from anyone interested in our truly unique and exotic appearing wood products that just may be the epitome of green and eco-friendly building…
Thank you.
