My wife and I enjoyed a delicious dinner of fillet minon, corn on the cob, fresh-baked bread, and, for dessert, watermelon. At a restaurant it would have easily run up a tab of $50 or more. Total cost?: $12.06. The steak was purchased at a local grocery store, and it was cooked on the grill in the back yard.
Who says that you can't eat like a king for less?
The satellite bill was due yesterday and it was $70.68. It is quite a bit less since we cut out the movie channels (that we didn't have time to watch). The total spent yesterday was $82.74. Since we are keeping track, the total expenses after four days is $125.09. It wasn't just last year that our satellite bill ran that much per month, but after review of our watching habits, we decided that we just needed a few channels. Summertime is baseball, and we like to be able to watch the St. Louis Cardinals, we insist on having Fox Sports Midwest. The cost is an extra $12 a month over regular channel line up, but that is a luxury we will take, especially since we can rarely afford to actually drive the 30 miles and go to a game.
I was doing a bit of research by watching Dave Ramsey last night and was impressed by his straight-forward approach to finances. Too often, people know what they need to do to get out of credit card debt, yet they are unwilling to change their lifestyle. Dave Ramsey advocates making changes to your life, and you can do just that.
I have available my book Never Surrender!! which you can view a preview by clicking on the title in this blog, or order by clicking the button on the upper right side of the web page. I personally guarantee that you can save the cost of the book or you can get your money back. It will assist you in making sound financial choices to forever eliminate your credit card debt.
Have a GREAT day!
