Obama can keep his change, i’ve got my own!
No, this is not a political post, although i do have plenty of opinions on the subject.
Dave Ramsey has completley inflitrated our lives. Good news, we dont use credit cards at all any more. Now let me clarify that we have NEVER, not once carried a balance on a credit card. But the bill seems to get increasingly larger each month which makes it more difficult to pay. So we got "check cards" aka debit cards and are going to start using them. So we have to have the money NOW to buy something NOW. BOO! Who wants to do that? haha. Anyways…
Last night i wanted to go eat mexican. Craving it, actually. Problem is, we dont need to spend money from our account right now cause we are going to the fair today and will need the cash for all the nasty fair food we will endulge in. But i HAD to have mexican, so jeff came up with this idea. I have a little box that i throw change in and really never do anything with. He said if we had enough in there, we could go. So we proceeded to count out $17 in quarters, dimes and nickles and headed to fernandos in Dacula. We enjoyed our dinner and OF COURSE, as we got ready to check out, there were 2 other people behind us and when the cashier saw that we had to count out change, she proceeded to help the other customers as we worked diligently. Fantastic.
Great news, though! We had some change left over to get some chicklet gum with (jeff loves them and calls them chick peas even though i correct him constantly).
Its a real landmark when 2 people who work full time who have no debt except the house and save money like crazy people decide to use quarters to go out to eat instead of cheating and using the visa. Dave ramsey has COMPLETLEY taken us over! HA!
Great job! Imagine what our country would be like if everyone could follow what Dave Ramsey says! I am so proud of you y’all. BTW love the title!
