…or two new cars with 60 month notes every 36 months.

This list could go on forever….

I have just read Dave Ramsey's book to financial peace and am well on my way to financial security. Three to six months of expenses in savings and no credit card debt is the only way to go. This all can be avoided by living within your means. I have been living beyond my means since I left home and it's time to stop that. Its too bad these people and thousands of others didnt either until it was too late.

Dave Ramsey BK's his way out of his debt, he is now selling his bankruptcy alternitive. While I agree with almost all of his advice, he's a bit of a hypocrite.

Oh that drives me up the wall! My cousin is on the new car kick, she is all about monthly payments. I was like insted of messing around with this BS why not just buy a new Civic and keep it for 10 years? She was like oh no I need a reliable new car.

Now she wants to buy a house, but can't really afford much because of the $500 a month Saab payment.
