Norfleet grew up on a family farm in rural North Carolina. A High School diploma was as high an education needed in the area. There was not a need to seek higher education unless you were willing to move. Prior to finding job security, there were many temporary, fruitless jobs. J.R. started at the bottom like so many must do in order to find something more. Debt became inevitable and sometimes unbearable. Going without became as much of a normal thing as hitting the clock and cashing the paycheck. Over time, a management position in a retail grocery store is where J.R. landed. That job only came through a lot of hard work and over-achieving. With blood, sweat and tears came financial relief.
It is here J.R. began to make financial mistakes. With money comes the desire to spend it. For J.R. it was cars that did the most financial damage. With age came the desire to straighten up for future home ownership. This is where the most lessons were learned and the most blessing came. J.R. has been at the bottom and rose up to the middle. The top may not be in the future, but for all the average Joe’s out there, the top will never be in our future.
This is my first book as an author. If I am blessed, it may not be the last.view less
