What a fabulous weekend! We spent Saturday morning at our favorite place...the temple. It is always so inspiring. The peace and joy we feel is so wonderful...and it colors the whole day. We spent the afternoon at Reliant Arena with thousands of other people watching:
With Dave Ramsey. Totally COOL! This was our Christmas present from my family. We've read his books and listened to him on the radio, but nothing compares to seeing him live. He has an energy that fills the room and is totally inspiring. A lot of people have a love-hate relationship with him, but Brian and I love his program. Truth is truth, and his program supports what the Church has been teaching for years. Brian and I were already following his program to a certain extent, but Saturday's conference inspired us to speed things up and we have set a D-Day Date (Debt-Free Date) in October this year. That's right, no more school loans and no credit card debt by October...all we will have is a mortgage payment...how cool is that? We highly recommend his program, and if you can, see him live and in person...it's eye-opening!

Dave is awesome. I am part of an online finance forum for women and have seen many people dig themselves out of tremendous debt using his principals. I like a lot of his teachings, but don't agree with putting off retirement savings. Not now when you can buy in at bargain basement prices! Good luck and don't forget to reward yourself
To Meg: I agree with you regarding the retirement, we're not putting it off. We probably don't have much debt compared to most people, but the little bit that we have isn't helping us. The main thing I like is the step-by-step organization...and the 6 month emergency fund...and paying cash for cars...we own ours, but they are old and will have to be replaced sooner or later. Dave talked a lot about the current economy and the benefits of investing now while everything is essentially a blue-light special. I would love more information on the finance forum you belong to!
Good for you. I have heard a lot about Dave Ramsey but haven't studied his approach. I know he has a lot of fans, and even if we disagree about the particulars, the main message is spot-on. Freedom is a great thing.
Awesome! Stick with your goals. It will be a tremendous blessing in the long run!
