Even if you continue to use credit cards, create a plan and get out of debt. We just recently finished getting rid of all our debt except for the mortgage and it feels great! Edwin,
Go with that burning desire! Even if you continue to use credit cards, create a plan and get out of debt. We just recently finished getting rid of all our debt except for the mortgage and it feels great!

Also, I have planned to reading "The Millionaire Next Door" next. I like the book very much that I finished it in 2 nights. After reading the book, I begin to have this great desire of getting rid of my debts (mostly in mortgage) burning inside me. But then I am not ready to get rid of all my credit cards, which I pay off every month. Hi,

I visit Dave's site often as well. I find it very encouraging to read the anecdotes of people who have made it to debt-free status. And I also agree that if you can't control your spending, earning a little extra money isn't going to fix your problems. I've used some of his principles myself and have recently gotten to the point of being out of debt except for the mortgage. One thing I'd ask is that you check out the site a bit more - read some other articles like this one about <a href="http://www.borrowfromnone.com/2008/08/is-giving-really-that-important/" rel="nofollow">the importance of giving</a> or this one that discusses <a href="http://www.borrowfromnone.com/2008/08/is-striving-for-wealth-a-valid-pursuit/" rel="nofollow">whether striving for wealth is a valid pursuit</a>. I hope you'll find that this site is about more than just making some extra money. Have a great day! cindi – thanks for your comments. I visit Dave’s site often as well.

This book and the teachings within are biblical perspectives enhanced by common sense. READ THIS BOOK!! If you follow Dave's plan you WILL get out of debt! Honestly, this site is great as a think tank for ideas on how to make extra cash happen, but Dave is all you need to do to score debt freedom. His website is www.DaveRamsey.com join up and see for yourself, or stay here and do it the hard way. He already figured out the formula for successful personal finance, and I highly recommend his book and sight. Warning however, it will take WORK. I have read and lived Dave Ramsey.
