are you on, if you are following Dave's plan.
Do you listen to his show, or listen to the archives on his site? Have you tried his forum? I like to listen, I admit I don't as much as I did in the begining, but when I do I feel more challenged to work harder on our financial plan. I have visited his forum and found it helpful in seeing other peoples budgets and how they get help on reducing their expenses.

We are working on baby steps 4 and 5.

I am on Baby Step 2 as of today. I have never listened to his show due to the time of broadcast where I am at. I have read his book and have been on his website. I am very motivated right now. I hope everything goes as planned.

Am on step 3. I did belong to his site for a few months, the commercial free downloads were great. But I have this site and another free site that I visit so canceled the subscription. I love listening to Fridays' show off his site, keeps me motivated. :)

I'm on BS2. I've been following his plan for a few months and am really making progress. I have TMMO and Financial Peace Revisited and really love them.

Going on a cash basis and using the envelopes as well as the ZBB really helps keep me on track!

Hey there!
We're on babystep 2. Baby ef is done and now we're tackling debt. No credit cards left, just 2 loans. After that I'm on to my husbands farm loans. He has several that don't have much left to them. I wrote Dave once to see if he gives farmers the same advice (I'm sure he does) but I never heard back. I've never heard of a farmer that didn't have debt but it must be great. I listen to the archives online.....the commercials drive me nuts.....fridays are the best. Sometimes I laugh and cry!

We're also on step two. We've got the baby EF established, and we're working on our CC. We should have all non-mortgage debt paid off by April of next year, and then we'll be onto the next step.

On step 3 here. Used to listen daily, but the end of his Salem connection took away my best channel. So I listen online, but can't listen while driving kiddos around anymore. Need to learn how to download podcasts and all that stuff. I joined his site for about 6 months, then cancelled.

I just started Baby Step 2 last pay check. I've read TMM and Financial Peace Revisted. I did try his site out on the free 7 day trail and decided that it really didn't give me any thing more than what I got here. And since I'd already been here a while, and I don't have to pay to be here I decided that $8-$9 would be better spent paying down debt.

I am starting baby step #1 on September 1st. I am very low income so I hope to have it completed in two months. And then onto the big debts!!

We are on Step 2, with a target date of completion December 2007. My van will be paid of in April,so that will add $400 to our snowball. Try to listen when I can, as I have to listen online.
