She's on tv now and then here in town and gives a lot of common sense tips on saving money on shopping for necessities. The kind of thing that the EBT crowd never learned in school.

I just paid off my truck; mailed the check in this morning after saving up for a year to pay it off early. Saved over $3K in financing!
Where’s my d@mn casserole?
LOL!

Debt is dumb, cash is king, and the Dave Ramsey PING list has taken the place of the BMW as the new status symbol of choice. That's Dave's main statement on every show and I say Amen and Amen!
We're ready to do the "I'm Debt Free" scream but can't get on the show. We paid off the debts other than the house in 2007, College debts for my kids the Spring of 2008, and the House September of 2008.
The Key to staying out of Debt is the Emergency Fund. If you don't have one, Murphy is ready and waiting. He still comes if you have one, but he tends to comes less often.
Working on Step 7.

Nope. I just bought the truck this time LAST year. 2008 Ford Escape with very low mileage. (I only have 42K on it as of now...) I love it! I had a decent down payment, but let them finance the rest because I needed to ‘get back in the game’ post-divorce, and they gave me 2.9% financing.
My FICO is top of the line...and my only debt now is my farm mortgage...ALSO due to the divorce because I bought him out; rewarding him for his bad behavior. But, it’ll pay off as I’m in one of those ‘golden’ areas where my farm has appreciated in value since I bought it in 1993, and my taxes aren’t out of line, either.
I WAS going to be debt free and retired by 55, but that’s not looking like a possibility now. However, I have a very good job and a good attitude which takes you places. ;)
But, who knows what is ‘round the next bend? I’m due for some Good Luck. :)
Anyhow, that’s my story and I’m stickin’ with it. :)

Great sunny attitude, does this old heart good to hear it.
Plus, at under 55, you’re still a kid.

Imagine the parties when Obamaclaus signs an EO forgiving all student loans.
