Two posts today! Can you tell Beckham is napping well today? And yes, I’m foregoing many “to-do’s” on my never ending list.
I’ve been reading Dave’s Total Money Makeover book and I just LOVE his quotes. They are so true and inspiring! I can hear his humor throughout his entire book. Paying off debt is simple, but a hard journey. Just like working out. The formula is simple, but it takes willpower and can be difficult.
Enjoy these awesome quotes by the one and only, Dave Ramsey:
“Act your wage.”
“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.”
“You must gain control of your money or it will forever control you.”
“Live like no one else, so that later you can live like no one else.”
“Stupid is not illegal.”
“We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t really like.”
“You must walk to the beat of a different drummer. The same beat that the wealthy hear. If the beat sounds normal, evacuate the dance floor immediately. The goal is to not be normal, because as my radio listeners know, normal is broke!”
“Pray like it all depends on God, but work like it all depends on you.”
“You wanna blow money? Put it in a “blow” category in your budget. But at least admit it on paper.”
“Broke people giving financial advice is like a shop teacher with missing fingers.”
“This is not a game. Debt has become a part of who we are. It’s become that spoiled child in the grocery store with their lip stuck out: ‘I want it. I want it. I deserve it because I breathe air.’ And, well that’s an uphill climb in our culture right now, to go against that and say, ‘Hey, let’s be grown-ups here. Let’s be mature, learn to delay pleasure, save up, and pay for things.'”
“I’m not against people having new cars. I’m against them having you.”
“Please don’t be under the illusion that this government, one that is so inept and dim-witted with money, is going to take great care of you in your golden years. That is your job!”
“Debt is normal. Be weird.”
I found your blog via Blissful and Domestic! I absolutely LOVE it! I recently read Debt-Free Forever by Gail Vaz-Oxlade. Would you recommend Dave Ramsey's book as well, or are they similar in the content/advice? I look forward to your future posts! THANK YOU!!!
I don't know about that book, but YES, I would recommend Dave's book. He lays out 7 steps to paying off debt and living peacefully financially! It's not a scheme or a sale…just simple truths about finance and living within your means. I'll check out her book though. Thank you by the way 🙂
Oh, I know exactly where my money goes! Mortgage, gas and braces. Thankfully, besides my mortgage, my only debt is about $100 on my Kohls card and $300 on my Mastercard. And I pay them off every month. I love reminders of how I should be living. I am your newest follower from Blissful and Domestic. I hope you'll visit and follow back 🙂
