First and foremost, congrats on being debt free. I am sure it is a great feeling. We have been trying hard to do the same prior to even hearing of Dave Ramsey. Now we are even more focused with a written budget earmarking everything we earn not just bill money.

It is amazing to see how much you really can do if you put all efforts towards it!

Congrats on being debt free. That is very hard to do these days. I love Dave Ramsey. If only more people would listen to him, they wouldn’t be so stressed about the economy right now.

Soooooooo wishful, however, with special needs children who need expensive therapies, that way of life is far out of our reach, sadly. Some people lose everything just to care of special needs children, so I’m just thankful we can do what we’re doing for them, so far, & as long as He allows.

Great advice, although not easy to follow. We are working on becoming debt free. My struggle is that I manage the finances (so we don’t get smacked with late charges on top of interest on credit debt) but my husband dreams for the future, and pays for it with today’s money. It’s frustrating that we don’t seem to agree on where we are, or where we want to be, or how to get there…

I would like to share my story as we found ourselves in debt and living paycheck to paycheck. Following Dave’s advice we are now debt free. Here is our story:

Hi there. Late but still here ! ((hugs))

I really want to look into this. I am wondering if the church we go to woud want to put this on. I am for sure going to look into his book ! We are doing so many things and I am looking for what we are not doing that is making it so we are not out of debt yet. Our leagal issues over our water system is making it hard to get out of the situation we find ourselves.

Thank you for all you contribute !

Blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC

My husband and I LOVE Dave Ramsey. The past six months, we have paid off around $15,000 in debt and all we have left is one credit card and two student loans. We’re excited to become debt free soon.

What a great post! We are working towards Debt Free ourselves. It’s a dance of sorts, always feel like we are finally getting on top of it and then there is a set back. Thanks for the encouragement!

I would love to be one of the people who are debt free. I am one of the many Americans out of work, searching for a job, when what I would really prefer to be doing is starting a family and staying home to raise them.

My husband and I have discussed many times about how we can cut corners and live on less. But one or both of us never seem to see how that can be done. My husband really enjoys eating out, and we often eat out after church to spend time with friends. We’ve tried having people over for dinner, but it still is a significant expense. I was a Grocery Game member this year, but canceled it yesterday as I was no longer seeing any significant savings – even after hours of work in researching and cutting coupons.

Maybe I’ll check out Dave Ramsey’s book to see if there is anything in the thought process I’m missing.

Thanks for the tip!
