Total Money Makeover Live Event

March 21st, 2007 at 02:54 pm

Not sure if anybody is reading this here blog.

**hits the mic** "IS THIS THING ON?!?!?"

But if you are I was wondering if you follow Dave Ramsey's plan? He was here in Dallas back in February and I went to the live event. I had asked for the ticket for Christmas from my husband. At the time, he wasn't sure about his school schedule so we didn't buy a ticket for him then later when he found out that he was free that day tickets were sold out. Bummer! Anyway...I went to the event alone and it was still awesome. Totally pumped me up to get gazelle intense.

The night before the event Dave had a book signing at the Borders bookstore in North Dallas. They had announced it on the radio and I decided to go. Well, at the book signing they were gonna have a drawing for $1000 in debt reduction. There were soooo many people there that I thought it would be impossible to win but I did! It was so exciting! I've never won A THING before in my life. I just got the check from Dave's company last week and since my car was my smallest debt I used that $1000 plus another $600 and paid that off this week.

My next smallest debt is a visa card with a balance of $2,200. I have been making the minimum payment of $40 but now that I don't have my car payment ($312.65 per month) I am going to start attacking that one.

    Hi, glad you have joined us. I followed Dave's plan and am completely out of debt except my car and I have saved enough to pay that off too. I am happy to watch your journey to become debt free.

    That is so cool that you won the money!! I have read Dave's plan and basically we have used it as well. We are on Baby Step 6...I think that is the one where you pay your house off early...that one will take us a while, but we are working on it.

    Looks like you could have that Visa paid off in 6-7 months!! Can't wait to hear about that one.

    I read the book a while ago, but I just started listening to him online. You know you can get all his shows for free through his website? I've been listening and its REALLY motivating to hear people scream they're debt free. Congrats on winning! I never win anything either, so maybe there's hope for me yet Smile

    Congratulations! I am also a big Dave Ramsey fan. He can really keep one motivated! I am also a fan of "The Complete Tightwad Gazette". It is amazing how little one can live on when you are motivated to get out of debt and to save.
    Good luck in your journey to financial freedom!

    I am writing a book of stories of people who have turned around their financial lives. I would like to interview someone who used Dave Ramsey's program. Elly, your story looks interesting! If you would like to talk more with me about the possibility of your participation, would you follow the Amazon link and invite me as an Amazon friend (upper right hand corner). Thanks!
