My husband and I were married in college, had a ton of debt ($70k to be exact!), we found Dave Ramsey and I quit my job when my son was born in 2006. It sounds like we had a similar path!

Thankfully I’ve learned to think about purchases before indulgently diving in. So we’ve been holding off, using our ancient 2-year-old phones, waiting to see a deal or something that would work for us. Here’s the problem – we’re at a strange crossroads with our cell phone plan right now: stay where we are or upgrade?

I am inspired by your honesty ~ thank you. Aftr listening to Dave tonight, we've decided that even though we don't have much debt, we want to be better stewards and be able to give as the Lord leads us. I started reading your blog about 3 months ago and always look forward to your thoughts ~ Blessings! I read your blog just before I left for church tonight, and guess who spoke to us…Dave Ramsey.

My husband and I read Dave's Total Money Makeover on December 31, 2008 and are bound and determined to get it together this year. I've started blogging too and I've found that it keeps me more accountable about what I spend, but also more aware of great deals out there! <abbr><em>Lisa’s last blog post..<a href="http://savingmoneylivingbetter.blogspot.com/2009/02/free-victorias-secret-and-other-free.html" rel="nofollow">Free Victoria's Secret and other free mall goodies!</a></abbr></em> Thanks for your honesty!

We're doing the Dave Ramsey thing too!!! I listened to his audio cd and not only is he hysterical...but he really cuts through the *shtuff* I think the majority of young people make the same mistakes because they're parents did, but didn't learn from it...I know I will be teaching my girls ALL about how to steer clear of debt because I don't want them making the same mistakes I did.

Money has always been something that I too have felt was very private and I shouldn't ask questions about. After listening to Dave's audiobook I am changed. I feel that financial freedom is at hand. We started tracking our spending about 2 weeks ago and will continue for the next 2 weeks before putting together our first budget EVER! My husband and I are excited to become debt free but know that it will take time and perseverance. Good luck on your way out. You are not alone on your journey. <abbr><em>Liz’s last blog post..<a href="http://modern50shousewife.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-been-while.html" rel="nofollow">It's been a while</a></abbr></em> Thank you for your honesty.
