Dave Ramsey

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend Dave Ramsey‘s Total Money Makeover Event in Long Beach, CA…and let me tell you, it was life-changing!  I could probably write a post that is pages and pages long with everything that I learned at the event but I can sum it up with one line that Dave Ramsey said, “You have to live like no one else, if you want to live like no one else.”

Dave (along with his team) did an excellent job of walking the audience through the seven baby steps of gaining financial freedom from saving a $1000 emergency fund to build wealth and give and everything in between!  And the reality is that being able to be successful with these seven steps is dependent upon whether or not I am willing to make hard choices along the way…and that may mean saying, “No!” to something that I really want.

If you have any money saving tips, I’d love to hear about them below!

And now I have one more thing to add to my bucket list…becoming debt free!  I’ll let you know when I get there 😉
