    Maybe that is a way to wean yourself off of soda. I can only drink soda that has passed through my nose....

    Heard of Dave Ramsey, of course, but I don't get his radio show out here, and I am not a big book-buyer. I always feel like it is ironic to tell people to be frugal when you are charging them exorbitant rates to buy your book....

    I agree... It is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I am very thankful to the person who gave it to me.

    $25 is exorbitant?
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    Yes, in my opinion, for a book that preaches frugality.

    What a beautiful pattern...I very seldom use the yarn suggested I always try to use from my stash and adjust needles accordingly.You could use any worsted yarn for that and get some of it on sale at michaels and Walmart usually has good prices on yarn.The colours would be your personal preference...me I like the green and I would use cream instead of white

    If you mean cheapness, I'm not sure it does. It teaches fiscal responsibility, certainly, and wealth building, to be sure, and IMO, $25 is a very small price to pay for the wealth that comes from knowing and implementing his plan.

    But to each their own
