Dave Ramsey Knowledge Base
Dave Ramsey? I have gotten myself into cc debt like most of this country and was wondering if purchasing Dave Ramsey's products were worth it and if so what is the best product? Thanks!!
How did the Dave Ramsey system work for you? I just started the Dave Ramsey system a few months ago. I beleive it is going to really help me. I'm wanting to hear some stories about how it worked for you>? Any stories about doing the Dave ramsey method would be great. I need all the motovation I can get to keep focused on it. Thanks everyone What radio channel is the dave ramsey show on and when?
Would Dave Ramsey approve of refinancing my mortgage? I owe about 20% of the value on an investment property. Should I refinance the house to get equity out and pay off everything I owe and be debt free other than my primary residence mortgage and this investment property mortgage? Its pretty tempting to only have two house payments and attack them aggressively. FYI - I have a good history of keeping the house rented for well above what the mortgage payment is. Only Dave Ramsey listeners/smart financial debt free people respond please.
Where do I begin with Dave Ramsey? I see that several responders have whole-heartedly recommended Dave Ramsey's program. I went to his website and am now overwhelmed! I am seriously in debt, constantly juggling just to make it from one paycheck to the next. I work full time 6 days a week, parttime 3 days a week and am exhausted. Where do I begin? With the classes or can I do one of the comprehensive home study programs? I already feel like I don't live at my house, just sleep there. Do I have to attend classes or can I do it on my own?
Did any of you take Dave Ramsey Finical Peace University? Finical Peace University was great, but we haven't been so great about following Dave Ramsey's advice, but what we have followed has helped. Have you taken the class? Did you love it? Are you out of debt? Do you have an emergancy fund?
Who knows the Dave Ramsey secret code for tipping the pizza guy? Dave Ramsey listeners.... listen up! How many of you know the secret code for Pizza delivery guys and girls to give you when you ask them "Hey, how are you?" when they arrive at your door? If they answer "Better than I deserve" it could be an indication that they are working a second or third job to help get them completely out of debt. Try and throw in a little extra on the tip $$$. These folks are working hard for their dollar!
Dave Ramsey readers: I have Total Money Makeover, is Financial Peace, Revisited different enough to purchase? I am not in any debt, I am using the books to budget and to learn about cash. I work at a hospital and have a TSA through the Hospital, but my contributions are not matched. I also have a Rollover IRA. There are no ELP's (Endorsed Local Providers in my area). There is one 2 hours away. I need to learn more about mutual funds and if I can have an ELP manage my TSA & Rollover for me or If I can do it myself. I am just very confused on how to move them and then how to manage them or have them managed. I really just want to pick something with a long history of good returns and put it away and forget about it. 1) Is the Financial Peace worth buying, in my situation, if I already have the money makeover? 2) Is the ELP worth driving two hours for? Can a long distance relationship like that work? 3)IF no to number 2, How can I learn what I need to know about TSAs & Rollovers and how to manage the funds on my own by picking long term good performers? Thanks, in advance!
Dave Ramsey membership kit? I'd like to go to one of the Dave RAmsey meetings in my area but it says you need to purchase the membership kit at $149. plus shipping. I cannot afford that right now. Can I buy an older kit like from Ebay to get in to the meetings?
Dave Ramsey and Home Downpayments? For those that are Dave fans, I'm curious about his advice on home downpayments. I understand that he advises that prospective owners pay at least 20% down on the home and go with the 15 year fixed-rate mortgage. My question is, where does he suggest you put the future downpayment money while you are saving it? Obviously, the first thought that most people would have is to simply put it in their savings account until they have the downpayment they need to buy a home. However, that would only earn 3 or 4 percent interest and doesn't sound very Dave-like. Any ideas on where he suggests the money be kept while saving for the downpayment?
Success with Dave Ramsey Program? I just ordered The Total Money Makeover book by Dave Ramsey. I really like the idea of his program and can't wait to read his book and get started. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to give me their opinion, and perhaps their stories of success, on the book and program? Thank you!
Do people that quote Dave Ramsey like the bible annoy you? If we wanted to hear from Dave Ramsey we could just order his products, am I right? HAHAHAHAHA. Spifiman, I tried to give you a thumbs up and missed! Jeez. Just wanted to let you know. (sorry!) *gags* *yells* Ramsey terrorists! *runs away*
Dave Ramsey - how much are you in debt? My husband and I have been doing the Dave Ramsey plan since December. I am just wondering how much everyone else out there is trying to pay off. And what size your shovel is, as Dave would put it. My husband and I are 25 and 27 and hoping to scream "I'm Debt Free" in 24 more months! I'll go first: $229,00 in debt (that is what we started out with not including our house - I know we were REALLY stupid) $145,000 a year shovel.
Has anyone tried to link to dave ramsey? I've tried to use dave ramsey's website for sources in 4 questions. When I try to submit it it gives me an error 999 when I back up and take the link out it lets me answer. If I edit that answer and add dave's link again it gives me the error 999. I'll back up and take the link back out and it lets the answer go through again. Is this Yahoo trying to stop people from falling prey to the American debt pit??? Goto this site w w w. d a v e r a m s e y. c o m This is the only way I can get yahoo to let me list this link...
Dave Ramsey and his envelope system? I am interested in trying out an envelope system like Dave Ramsey suggests, however I was disappointed to find out that his kit costs $20. Are there any other kits out there that are similar, but not as expensive? I'm trying to get debt free and penny pinch like he suggests, so I'm looking for a cheaper way to implement this way of orgnaizing cash. Any ideas?
According to Dave Ramsey, is it better to pay off your house first even if you are going to or plan on moving? Have been doing this Dave Ramsey course and trying to figure out what is the best option. I know he doesn't promote borrowing and when or if we decide to move I just don't want to have to borrow again for another mortgage.... but right now it seems like it really wouldn't make a difference but I want to do it the right way. We owe like 98 grand on the house and it is probably worth around 150 at the most right now. So that leaves about 50 grand and if we move it would be hard to find a house for that w/o having to get another loan. Good suggestions welcome and yes his plan does work!!!
Does Dave Ramsey debt solutions actually work? I have heard about this guy, but i wanted to know if anyone has had any actually experience using his expensive get out of debt products? Also a secondary question. why do so many people come on here and offer bad advice on how to take peoples money with get rich quick schemes? whats wrong with world????

Has anyone tried the Dave Ramsey Money Makeover and does it work? A friend lent me the book and i am starting to read up on it but i have never personally met or spoken to anyone who has completed the program.. I saw it on oprah and it sounds great but.... I want some real feedback...not a few hand picked people who really did it. If you have please let me know.
Dave Ramsey Live- how long is it? I am attending a Dave Ramsey Live event this weekend. Does anyone know how long the seminar will last? I need to plan for a baby sitter. Thanks
Does the Dave Ramsey program give you a "spending allowance?"? For anyone who has done this program - do his baby steps allow for a small spending allowance? Like for vacations, travel, eating out once in a while? Or is it only a "save save save" type of program? I ask because I know for us (and probably many others) it's completely unrealistic for us to never eat out or go to a movie, etc. I don't want to start a program that we are destined to fail. Thanks!
what would dave ramsey finanical guru recommend? Student loans vs. Mortgage? have about 36K in student loans and 123K in mortgage..... student loan is fixed at 1.625% and the house is fixed (30yr/2005) at 5.875. Soon as I have a car payed off it these will be our only debts..... would dave still recommend to focus on the student loans despite the LOW interest rate--- or would you think he would say start working on the mortgage instead?
