About a month ago I picked up Dave Ramsey's book "The Total Money Makeover" when I was visiting my local Costco. I'd heard his show on the radio and have read interviews and blogs ringing the Ramsey bell. I am SOOOO enjoying this book. Simple, basic, practical principles we all know but avoid/ignore. It really boils down to this "If you cannot afford something...don't buy it." Pretty easy right? Sounds easy until that transmission goes out and you haven't been saving enough to handle an emergency expense like that. Life happens, a storm will come...you just have to be prepared to handle it.
Saturday I had the opportunity to see Dave Ramsey in person here at the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium. I don't know how anyone can stand there and speak about finances for five hours and make it interesting. That's exactly what he did. He's the real deal...geniune...caring...and he uses his platform to glorify Christ and encourage people to consider their spiritual state when dealing with finances. Thanks to Tom for the invite!
At the start of the presentation, they showed this Saturday Night Live clip that pretty much boils down the whole Dave Ramsey strategy. Check it out below:
