Change Counts

So have you been to craigslist.com?  This site is perfect for so many of the things you might be looking for on Ebay.  Craigslist is a local classified website, where you first pick your local city, then look for most anything.  You can also sell things there, ofcourse.  Best of all, you will save a ton of money over ebay because it is free.  I was recently trying to sell some odds and ends from the basement on craigslist, and a potential buyer came by.  She wasn’t interested in what I had, but noticed I was selling my old Jeep that was parked on the street.  She said she just found one on craigslist.com and wondered why she had not seem mine.  Well, I had not thought of advertising it there, that’s why.  I immediately came in and listed it on craisglist (for free).  I sold it the next day.

Studies have shown that when you pay cash, you generally will spend less, studies say 12 -18 % less.  That is a big savings. There is just something about having to hand over the green stuff that makes it harder to do.  We often just swipe the card, could even be a debit card, and think since we pay it off at the end of the month, or in some cases ” get a few % back”, we are really doing ok.  But it seems the truth is, we loose.  This Christmas, pay some of those big 100 gift purchases in cash, and “feel the burn”..

I want to let you all know about a very useful source of information concerning your personal finances.  After all, that is what we all want.  We want to make the most of what we make.. ( But remember we really “earn” money, we don’t make it). Anyway, I have been listening to a man named Dave Ramsey for some time and I have to hardily recommend him to you.  He has a nationally syndicated radio show Monday through Friday in the afternoon time frame and he is now on the new Fox Business Channel on weekdays , 8:00pm eastern time.   You must check him out.  I will be talking a lot more about some of his great advice.

Chapter 1 - Truth

Wow! I can’t believe my eyes. I have a son! That morning when Ben was born was one of the happiest days of my life. It was a feeling of pride that is hard to compare. You know the feeling I’m talking about, if you are a dad. It was as if I had just become Superman, and for a while as he grew, he thought I was Superman. What a feeling! He trusted me implicitly. He never challenged what I said, as to whether it was the truth or not. Oh yeah, he didn’t like what I said, sometimes, but he thought it was the truth. So why did he change? Why at 18, does he question my truths?
