I am reading Dave Ramsey's book "The Total Money Makeover" It is an outstanding book of how to get control of your life, and get out of debt. I highly recommend the book as I have just started it. Dave has a great show on The Fox Business Channel which is 359 on direct tv at 5:00pm pacific time, Monday through Friday. Very good and informative show. Here is his website as well.

I and my wife have been on(and off) Dave's plan now for almost a year, and my wife and I are almost totally out of debt (some med. bills and a school loan left). You cannot imagine the peace of mind that comes with not having a huge car/credit card(s)/'stupid tax' payment every month. If I can secure a job in the next couple of months(looks pretty likely), than we should be able to put a good 20% down payment for a house in about a year and a half.:yay:
I highly recommend both his books, The TMMO and Financial Peace. If you aren't religious, I would suggest picking up only The TMMO, as Financial Peace has more biblical input.
I now pay cash for everything*including Christmas*, and if I don't have the money set aside, I don't buy it. I still am somewhat of an emotional-compulsive/splurge buyer, but thanks to Dave's mental *****-slap:lol: I decided to get myself under control and have been able to do so pretty regularly.
I now view debt as a state worse than poverty, and I will pass this on to my children. 26 and debt-free?? You betcha.:up:Fin Fan In Cali likes this. -
Better then I deserve as Dave says on his tv show.:lol:
