Rick Bradley’s Story...

I have been enjoying working with Primerica for a little over a year now. I am excited every morning getting out of bed. The opportunity I have here to work for my family’s future (and not my boss’s) is unlike anything I have ever had before. My previous profession was a computer aided designer. During the past 10 years I was laid off 4 different times. Most recently designed houses and really enjoyed making others’ dream come true by way of a perfect home. Today I help my client’s financial dreams come true. One client of mine had a fantastic solution. They where both accountants, and thru some financial education, and our $.M.A.R.T. loan we where able to get them out of debt (including their home) in 17 years and save them over $460.00 a month. They used those savings to fund both their kids’ education and get them to retire with over 1.3 million dollars! This program we have in the best in our industry and it’s complimentary! I never get tired of showing my clients a life that they only could dream of before. Let me show you how to do this for you and your family.

Joe Ball’s Story...

My generation is known as the “Baby Boomers”. Growing up we were told to get a good education and get hired on with one of the biggest and best companies we could. That would insure a regular, dependable paycheck that would provide the best available life style for our families. These days, with company cut backs, downsizing, replacing experienced workers with lower paid workers and small or non-existent pay raises; other ways must be found to reach this goal. Company paychecks are no longer dependable. Also, people realize inflation causes their buying power to shrink year after year.
One class of people who are getting ahead is known as entrepreneurs. These are the people who own and run their own business. They have the self confidence to know they will meet and beat any challenge that comes along. They have the “getter done” attitude; whatever it takes!
Primerica has given me the chance to become that entrepreneur. I am in business for myself, but not by myself. Our mission: Help families become properly protected, debt free, and financially independent. Though earning my licenses and Primerica training I have learned how to accomplish my mission. This is a “feel good about what I do” opportunity; helping people with their finances and getting paid well to do it.
Before Primerica I was IT professional, and then owned a The UPS Store. After selling our store I searched for about 6 months for something that I thought was worth putting my remaining working years into until retirement. Primerica met all my requirements.

Susan Brown’s Story...

Like most Americans, I did not learn about money while growing up, either in school or at home.  As a result, like a lot of other people, I got into credit card debt, and I had to figure out how to get myself out.  It was painful, but I did it, and I learned a valuable lesson.  As part of my work in Primerica, I teach my clients how to eliminate debt and how money works so they can avoid debt in the future. 
Recently I had the opportunity to help a local family with dramatic results.  This is a typical family with two working adults, a mortgage, and other consumer debt (credit cards, car payment, etc.).  They were living paycheck to paycheck, not sure when they would be out of debt and able to retire.  As part of their solution, we refinanced their debt, saving nearly $1,400 a month on their payments and getting them debt-free in about 15 years!  Without a doubt, Primerica changed their lives.  This is what I love the most about what I do!
I moved to the Treasure Valley about two years ago and have found Idahoans to be friendly, helpful, and very family-oriented.  My previous work experience includes corporate management in specialty retail, and for several years I taught high school Spanish.  I loved the work I did, but nothing compares to the joy and fulfillment I receive by helping a family or individual resolve their financial issues.  Not only does my Primerica business allow me an opportunity to help others in a significant way, but at the same time, I’m building a legacy for my family. 
With Primerica, we not only provide practical, affordable solutions but we also give people the knowledge they need to understand how money works and take control of their future.  I know I am impacting lives in the Treasure Valley in a positive way.
