We have been following his program for a couple of years now. Thank goodness, the Lord put Dave on the radio and my husband heard him one day and became hooked! <br /><br />My husband has definitely always been the free spirit and I've been the nerd. Thankfully, the Lord was able to use Dave to get my husband's attention when I could not. All my husband could hear when I spoke about money was his wife nagging! Now, he is much more 'nerdy' than he's ever been! :0) <br /><br />We have been working very hard on our plan for quite a while. However, I have a very rare and serious medical condition that just keeps adding to our debt. It's like we take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. :0( However, thanks to Dave, today we are completely debt free except for our primary mortgage on our home, our mortgage on our rental property (which pays for itself plus some each month) and my medical bills. We still have a long way to go but things are much, much brighter than they've ever been in the 19+ years we've been married! <br /><br />My husband would love to go to work for Dave and become one of his counselors. Who knows? Maybe one day! He and our two teenage daughters visited Financial Peace Plaza when we were staying in Nashville for one of my doctors' appointments at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dave gave our family the whole Financial Peace University Program on DVD! Dave is truly wonderful and so is his whole staff. I can't wait for our special day when we can call in and yell, "WE'RE DEBT FREE!!" That will be such an incredible day!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this!<br /><br />Teresa <br /> Oh, I {heart} Dave! We have been following his program for a couple of years now.

I'm to teh over tired stage. I looked all over your blog for the comment section except for scrolling down to the bottom of the comments. That doesn't even deserve the excuse of a "senior moment".LOL! Anyway, I love your blog. The only thing is on the financial side of things that's fantastic as long as both of you work at it and don't sneak around and buy things without the other knowing it. Haha! Sounds like I've tried this before? Yep. Hang in there and it will work as long as you work as a team. Needless to say our's didn't work. But, that's ok. We made it through the hard times with God's help (and He definitely helped)! Now we're doing ok with hubby's social security and VA Disability. My hubby was a Navy guy. My EX-hubby was a Navy guy and the First one was an Army GI. I've definitely been where you are. Enjoy while you can. If you go overseas, enjoy it. Go to different countries. My 1st was a stick-in-the-mud and when we went to Germany, we could have gone anywhere over there, him for free and me for 10 dollars. He wouldn't go. I wanted to see Spain and Austria so bad I could taste it, but he wouldn't go and I was to chicken to go by myself. What I'm trying to say, is saving is important, but so are the opportunities of a life time. Don't pass them up. <br /><br />Come by my blog and chat a while.<br /><br />Love & Prayers, <br /><br />PJ Well, that does it . I'm to teh over tired stage.

I haven't been to one yet (finances scare me!) but I've heard he's great. Neither my husband or I are big spenders -- we tend, however, to "fritter" away small amounts that add up to big amounts. Love your goals. I think that maybe I need to overcome my fear and start making some goals myself.<br /><br />Excited to see you are a writer! I am a writer also! I've written for the healthcare markets mostly, but over the last couple of years been more and more involved in the Christian market. I just had an article accepted by In Touch, Charles Stanley's ministry mag. I was so excited!<br /><br />Email me sometime and let me know what you write (melinda@parentingconfessions.com). I love connecting with other writers. Following now, also on Twitter. Hi Tonya!

Because of the course we realized that we were sinking too much money in our home and decided to sell it. It sold in 1 month. A definite God thing, in this economy! We too are using the envelope system. It is awesome! All the best to you in meeting your goals. My husband and I just completed the 13 week course and our lives are forever changed…already!

I read his book and followed it to pay off our credit cards! It's incredible and very practical. We did bend some of the rules but it still worked and it's possible! This is great!

It's great for people in debt to help them out. Wonderful that your husband is on board with you in this endeavor! Our church is offering this seminar, or has offered it.

We have followed DR loosely for years now. <br /><br />This year we hope to plan to save a lot more and pay down more debt. Hopefully by this time next year we will have NO credit card debt.
