Wouldn't being debt free also include your house being paid off. So how is this debt free. If that's the case I'm debt free except for my house my truck my wife's car etc..........

Stayed in business another year and grew total gross sales in ways I never thought I would. No more nomex and welding hood was my goal and, here's to another year of meeting that goal!

Also, we as a site grew our Christmas fund from being able to help two families to four families! We are all a success as far as I'm concerned!!!

House is considered in same group as living expense since a lot of people choose to rent all their lives.... that's what some money management people consider it and then most consider it a asset once you have more equity in it since it gains in value it becomes more like a savings account...... I just want it paid off in less then 10yrs

I haven't read much of his stuff but what little I have read follows goals my family has in place, I have my 401k set to max out each yr and working towards having home paid off by the time I am 40yrs old...... can't do any of it without God and his blessings though.

He didn't say he was debt-free. He said he was "dept" (departmant) free...whatever that is.

Dave Ramsey is awesome!!!!!!

We spent time reading his book about 5 years ago, and today we are debt free except the house. All 3 boats are paid for, all vehicles are paid for, Calcasieu lots are paid for, travel trailer is paid for and were about 2 years from paying off our house.....

Were getting there, this damn fishing habit is the only thing that gets in our way lol

This year, our goal is to get our camp built in Hackberry and spent alot of time there!!!!!!
