common sense...revisited

This legit clip was on one of my previous posts, and I think it is worthy of another. 



Reasons to revisit...
1-Love this common sense concept. We have strived for years to live by this concept, and I absolutely believe in it.
2-It mocks, reminds, and puts into perspective the way we should all be dealing with $.
3-Mitch & I are currently enrolled in the FPU (Financial Peace University) with Dave Ramsey, a man who we love, admire, and feel like he is our long lost uncle. Oh ya, he also happens to be a financial guru, in my opinion, the best!
4- Dave is all about living on a budget, paying for things in cash (food & non-perishables), staying out of debt, paying your home off, and building wealth the smart way. Love it.

Amen! It's what we live by in the Nicoll household... even though I occasionally have to talk some sense into Dallas when someone mentions "rock crawling" or "snowmobiles". Those are naughty words to use if you ask me.

Definately worthy of a revisit! Since you are enrolled in the FPU you might be getting calls on your cel asking for advice about finances in addition to those questions about Love & Logic. I LOVE WHAT YOU LIVE BY.

Such fabulous advice...I/ve decided to pay for my photography business that way. I won't buy a single thing till I can pay cash for it...its hard...there's so much out there! So worth it...got robbed on ebay $230...and all I can think is that I could've gotten a new snazzy lens. Oh well...next time. Super advice! Gonna do it even more in our personal lives...

I love this video. It's so true. It's simply put, but crazy that some people still don't understand. You are an inspiration to us all.

heehee! That is so hilarious! Thanks for the laugh this morning, Katie! I've decided that living within your means is EASY PEASY. Especially when you have lots of money. Otherwise, it gets trickier - but just like the old ladies in the roadshow taught us: "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" haha Did you see that lovely roadshow, Katie?
