I came across The Armchair Millionaire blog and he had a post about how much debt is too much and that he would like to remodel his house.
Millionaire and borrowing money, this seems like an oxymoron to me.
So I had to put my Dave Ramsey 2 cents in there and tell him that if he wants to be a millionaire than don’t borrow money. If you don’t have the cash you don’t need it!!!!!
This is little snippet copied right from the about page.
“So, what is the Armchair Millionaire?
It’s simple. We’re a community of people just like you — people who are serious about becoming financially independent. We launched ArmchairMillionaire.com back in 1997 for our friends, for our families, and for you.
Our goal is to help each other eliminate debt, build million-dollar portfolios, and increase our income. To do that, we’ve compiled proven strategies and brought them together for you to use. These time-tested principles have been put to work by thousands of people in the Armchair Millionaire community.”
HHmmmmm…. I just don’t get it!
I guess everyone can’t be like us Dave Ramsey fans!

No wonder the foreclosure rate is at an all time high. Everything is going up except for our pay. I was grocery shopping over the weekend and a 1/2 gallon of TG Lee milk was $3.49!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God my husband makes good money. What do “normal” people do to make ends meet?
