auburnfan Posted October 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Husband and I just booked a HOHS (Hogs on High Seas) 7 day cruise on Mariner in Nov. '07. Just can't help but wonder what ol' Dave would say, because 1. we don't have $1000 in cash hidden in our sock drawer for emergencies, 2. we owe on a credit card, and 3. yes, we are still paying for our house and cars!!! But guess what? We're still going on a cruise ANYWAY!!! hehehe :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to Dave, then you have heard countless stories about people who have lost their savings to medical disasters ... and if you have no savings, then you could be sunk!

auburnfan Posted October 9, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted October 9, 2006 WaterBaby...Yes, we did go with the cruise insurance, simply because it's over a year away, and anything could happen between now and then, or even while we're on the cruise. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piercetc4 Posted October 10, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 10, 2006 dave ramsey is a financial advisor on the radio- he has helped a lot of people get their lives back on track--- gleaned this from listening so have no actual proof....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmerelda Posted October 10, 2006 #11 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Dave Ramsey is one of the smartest financial people on earth. My hubby and I bought his book a while back and are following his advice with great success. I know it works...so far we are proof. Its a great system. It makes you stop and think about your money....you control your money...your money should not control you. His book: "Total Money Makeover" is one of the best books I've owned in a very long time...

auburnfan Posted October 10, 2006 Author #12 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well said, Esmerelda. Guess I'm just feeling guilty about spending money on a cruise. What we'll spend on that cruise would go a long way towards that credit card I mentioned.:o I can always rationalize why I (we) should live now...pay stuff off later.:D I noticed on your location, you put ER...where everything is STAT. Are you a nurse, by chance? Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger-red Posted October 12, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Old Dave would say the you are acting like a "spoiled brat". His words, not mine:o . My DW and I are spoiled brats too, as we have another cruise booked for next year. I like Dave's ideas but we should live life along the way, no?
