Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
Whether you’ve read Orchestrating Your Own Life – Fifty Commonsensical Ways to Cultivate Well-Being and Financial Freedom or are simply looking for practical guidance, this page was created for you.
Over the years, I’ve learned that many people pay more to credit card companies than they need to—not because they lack discipline, but because they don’t know the options available to them. Credit card issuers often have programs, policies, and negotiation opportunities that most consumers never discover. The good news is that, with the right knowledge and approach, you may be able to lower interest rates, negotiate payment arrangements, reduce fees, or create a realistic path toward becoming debt-free.
The purpose of this page is to provide a place where you can ask questions about credit cards, debt management, financial well-being, and the ideas discussed in my book. Whether you’re struggling with high-interest balances, wondering how to approach a credit card company, trying to understand your options, or simply looking for practical financial guidance, I encourage you to ask.
No question is too small or too simple. Chances are, if you’re wondering about something, many others are as well.
While I may not be able to respond to every submission individually, I regularly review the questions I receive and will answer as many as possible. Some questions may also be featured anonymously if they can help educate and encourage others facing similar challenges.
In addition to questions about credit cards and personal finance, you’re welcome to ask about the principles shared in my book, personal growth, decision-making, or building a healthier financial future. My goal is to provide practical, commonsense guidance based on real-world experience—advice that can help you make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
Together, we can work toward greater financial confidence, reduced stress, and a future where you feel more in control of your money rather than allowing debt to control you.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to hearing from you. Submit your question below, and let’s start the conversation.

Congratulations Goodfellow on writing a very important and informative book. Well done.
I’ve known “Goodfellow” since 1983 and always found him to be helpful to others in all aspects of life. Additionally, Goodfellow has mastered most if not all of life’s critical survival skills with his impressive background as a CPA along with achieving Captain Rank as a veteran of the US military.
I look forward to your next book.
