About the Author



The ability of Lenny Tumbarello to bring common sense, practical knowledge about a subject plaguing our Western culture is truly unique. His message is meant to be solid, soul searching and sometimes even intimidating. He knows what it’s like to be in debt up to your eyeballs and turn it back around without bankruptcy.

His practical, common sense philosophies, about money Lenny Tumbarellomatters, were taught to him early by his parents. Like most of us he rejected the advice. Their ideas were backed up by a couple of smart old-timers who kept driving the same message home. They were his superiors at his workplace, and his father-in-law. They kept saying the same thing about money his folks said.

At the age of thirty-three he decided to work his way out of the debt hole. Well actually his wife, Jackie, persuaded him to make the decision. The journey was nothing like he thought it might be. It took turns and sometimes unexpected reversals that have been fun, exciting and resulted in a life experience he never expected.

The lessons they learned along the way were so simple. Most people don’t even think about considering the ideas, because of their simplicity. So many of the ideas were right there before their eyes all the time, yet passed up because they thought it should be harder than that. It was almost as easy as simply deciding to be debt free. Simply setting a goal to just do it.

At the age of forty-four, he and his wife, Jackie, sold their home and drove off into the sunset in their motor home with assets of $250,000 and “NO DEBT.” Twenty years after they made the decision, they’re still living debt-free.

He studies the subject. He lives it and walks his talk. He loves sharing his down-home, simple money philosophies with groups of all sizes. His philosophy is “We too can do … what we set our mind to.” His mission is to help people rid themselves of the burdens their debt creates.

He and Jackie live in Arizona. They spend the winters in the greater Phoenix area, with a trip down the Baja of Mexico every couple of years. They spend their summers up at the Grand Canyon, simply enjoying.
