I dont like Dave Ramsey on Valentine's Day

Thanks to Dave Ramsey and having no budget on Valentine's Day (also my anniversary), my husband always teases me about why he never buys me anything for our special occassion. I thought I'd at least get 2 gifts when we decided to get married on Valentine's Day 7 beautiful years ago.

It's confirmed and I've verified. My husband is BROKE. He has no cash in his wallet. That means I'm not getting anything. Haha......

Hack!

It's kinda funny sometimes and we do laugh about it.

Darn Dave Ramsey!!!!..... (We dont say bad words in our home). That's what we always say when we FEEL like spending money.

We're still doing good on his Baby Steps. It's going to be a long road on Step 6, but we'll get to the finish line somehow.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends here.

Do something special for the people you love. Let's fill the air with LOVE today!!!!!

Yeah, Dave Ramsey. It's a love/hate thing, right?...and then, eventually, one day, you can be the ones SCREAMING at the top of your lungs on his show!

Loreena - I never thought of blaming it on Dave Ramsey! I'm like you... special occasions rarely bring me anything special. :-) It's knowing the love that's there anyways.

My husband has vowed that he will only buy me a card for these types of occasions.  He says he loves me and he shows it all year long and doesn't need a certain day to show it.  Hmmmmmmm.  My brain understands it but, after 13 years, my mind still can't quite get a grasp of the concept.  8-)  But a belated Happy Valentine's Day to you anyway!

We're just getting our feet wet, but I will feel better blaming my bad days when I want to spend money but can't on Dave. Uh, don't tell him I said that. :)

Well, I have never heard of Dave Ramsey until tonight, but I've read several posts about him so guess I will go Google him. It sounds like he has some good financial advice. I believe that old saying, "the best things in life are free." That goes for my favorite things - hugs - from my family and my big red dogs (yes, they learned to hug when they were puppies . . . not necessarily a good thing now that they're over 70lbs!)

I'm just finishing up the Total Money Makeover and am inspired!!!! I tried to enroll in his online group, but he doesn't take credit cards, just debit cards... and I don't have one of those... Sigh... but anyway, I'm pretty jazzed about changing my approach to money.

Jennifer: I'm glad you are excited about it. Are you GAZELLE-INTENSED now? It will truly change your views on money issues. Also, have you read the Millionaire Next Door? It was another great book that opened my mind when I first read it.
