About this ebook

In Debt: Slavery in Disguise, Obi Anukwuem captures the travails and triumphs of living the American dream. From his experiences, he sheds light on the traps that can ensnare us when we want to live well. He consciously and subconsciously allowed negative influences from people and things around him to get him sidetracked, but he knew it was mostly his own doing. He forgot his own life and began to live other peoples lives in an effort to belong.

Through poor judgment, indecisiveness, weak principles, and greed, he accumulated huge personal debt. He realized that his spending habits would only make his debt matters worse if he did not do something urgently about his debt. It stole his peace of mind many times. He did not cease until he found a way out of his bondage to debt. Even though he seemed to have stumbled into what promised to help eliminate his debt, he knew that it would take more than just a theory to tackle his problems.

The author believes that, to do well in any area of life, we must be true to ourselves, be passionate about what we want, be decisive, and do right all the time. Our dreams, motivations, and aspirations have to always be at the forefront of our thoughts. Unless we change our mentality, life will always seem to be the same.

Through perseverance, huge sacrifice, and a desperate desire for peace of mind, Obi and his family eliminated approximately $500,000 in personal debt in about three and a half years. He recalled a negative net worth just before this venture. Now he no longer has to share his wealth with greedy creditors; his net worth is positive, no longer negative, and it continues on a healthy, upward trajectory.

His story can be yours as well.

Obioma Anukwuem

Obioma (Obi) Ikechukwu Anukwuem was born in the southeastern part of Nigeria toward the end of the civil war. He belongs to the Ibo tribe. During the twenty-eight years he spent in Nigeria, he completed his elementary, secondary, and tertiary education. He is one of eighteen children. Against all odds, Obi steadfastly waded through school to complete his medical school training. He longed to practice medicine in the United States, as he expressly stated in his graduation yearbook. His dream came true when he moved to the States in 1998, following graduation from medical school in 1994. He successfully completed a three-year internal medicine residency training in a New York hospital in 2004. His views on life have been shaped by these two divergent worlds. He has come to realize that life gives you what you put into it, and that life is not to be taken for granted. He currently serves as a board member in his local church. He loves golfing but cannot get enough of it. He works as a physician in Statesville and resides in Salisbury, North Carolina, with his wife and two children.
