Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

Thanks, I did what you said. Then I did not know what to do, so I hit realplayer and nothing happened. Then I hit windows media and got yesterday's show. Iam learning more about computers on here too and thanks!!

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

Ahh, the one man who got me started on my path to frugal living! Without him, I never would have known how to try to pay down my debt! The stories are great too! May I be a story on the DR show someday!!

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

Last night I started looking at the numbers, far as how much I should be able to save, and it turns out that I should be debt free by June 1 of this year. Its going to feel great when I don't have any more debt. My car is the only debt I have now and I'm on track to have that paid off 1 year 4 months early. I should be starting to save for a down payment at the first of the year. I also want to say is that I hear it from time to time that "I only make $20,000 I can't save" or "I don't have any money". I want to say to those people that I only make about $23,000 and I can change my life and in 2 years have paid off my debt which total is about $16,000 plus during the 2 years I have been doing a 2% in a 401k and $50 in a Roth each month. So if I can do it anyone can do it.

I need to get into the 21st century here and get an IPod. Smart looking inventions they are. Where do you download the Dave Ramsey Show from?

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

you don't have to purchase an ipod, you can listen to the show online for free. you can also burn the show to a cd as well. of course if you want to buy an ipod you can do that too, but it's not necessary to hear his show. just an option.

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

DR helped get us on the right track to debt repayment, only we snowballed our debts based on interest rate not size. We paid off $30,000 last year, and we have another $30,000 to go. He's got a good, generic idea that should work for everyone, but he says time and time again that it is personal finance, so you have to control it yourself.

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

You can listen to Dave live at his website by just clicking on the "listen live" He airs M-F 2-5pm Monday thru Friday. You should have media player already on your computer so there is no need for an ipod.

He also archieves his show for the past two weeks and just click on archieve to listen when you want.

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

I just finally bought one of his books (used, lol) for my mother in law, but have skimmed it first and am especially impressed with his positive attitude AND how realistic he is, I just SO HOPE that I can get MIL to at least look at it and admit to her problem before it's to late!

I plan to start listening to his shows for additional reinforcement!

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

You'll enjoy his show. It's entertaining and education. I think he calls it "edutainment" actually

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

Ok, hooked on him already! Man I can get alot done around the house while listening to him, lol! I only wish I could SIC him on my MIL!! Even hubby who lets me handle the "mind boggling world of finance" liked him!

Re: Dave Ramsey - Any Thoughts?

I wish I could get him on the radio but I tried all the stations and they are pretty bad. I can get him on my computer, but it does not turn up very loud. I can sit and listen , but I can't do anything else, like walk on my treadmill. My computer is upstairs in one bedroom, so there is not much else I can do but sit and listen.
