5. Every time you get in trouble, all you can hear is dad's voice repeating, over and over in your head: "Sell so much stuff, make the kids think they're next!"

4. You have to pull out your envelope system when you're "this big" at school to buy chocolate milk.

3. Any time a hot guy asks to pick you up for a date, you are required to ask him if his car is paid for.

2. Those stupid scissors. Anytime a guy comes to pick us up on a date, Dad is standing on the front porch with a crazy look in his eye going ka-chu, ka-chu [making scissor snipping noise]

1. You are never, ever allowed, under any circumstances, to super-size your meals at McDonald's. Because, if you put that .39 cents in the bank, you'll become a millionaire by the time you're 83.

I wish Dave Ramsey would have a live debate with Rice Delman.
Ramsey says pay off all debt including your mortgage. Rice Delman says have a big fat mortgage and invest with him.

I would imagine that it was rehearsed, given that she is speaking during one of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University sessions.

I did find it amusing, and thought other Freepers would enjoy a bit of humor this fine Friday. :-)

We’re teaching our third FPU class as volunteers. We do this annually, so the kids are used to it. My six year old was inviting his friends to a “Dave Ramsey class play-date at our church”.
I didn’t realize how badly he was evangelizing until I asked why he was talking to the guys installing our new fence. “Daddy was talking to the boss guy about money. So I told the worker who walked up to the door I can’t give him money to pay him but he can come to the Dave Ramsey class at our church. He asked me what that was, so I told him.”
So it can be hard to be a Dave Ramsey fan’s kid, too.

Not guilty! Can’t even spell “guilt”. Incapable of guilt!

My daughter just got married a couple of weeks ago. As we were packing her stuff up to move in with her new husband, he came across her DR kit.

“You don’t want this do you?”

She snatched it up and put it in a box. “It’s mine and I want it.”

He said, “I just don’t believe in those ‘get rich quick schemes’.”

I must have made a horrified noise because my daughter held up her hand and said, “It’s OK, mom. I’ll straighten him out.”

We’ll see how this goes...

My husband and I are volunteer Dave Ramsey FPU coordinators. I had him read the books out at the time BEFORE we got married.
