Me & My Big Mouth

  Just when I think I’m really smart, I say something really dumb.  Or in this case, just say something I should have done my homework on before SPEAKING up.  Remember last week when I whined about having to use paper envelopes to carry my cash around?  That’s a tip from Dave Ramsey, and I’m sort of giving his Total Money Makeover a run for my money.  

     Well, as soon as that little dittie of mine hit the air and internet I had mail.  Apparently, my idea that he make a leather version of envelopes to cut down on paper cuts, had already been sent to the Mr. Ramsey, and yep, he’s hawking them on-line.  Guess how long it took me to order one?  I think less than 40 seconds, but don’t quote me on that.

    It is kind of funny he’s selling stuff to people who aren’t supposed to be spending money!  But he’s doing it right.   First, I’m serious about the little paper nicks…and his version looks like that will be nearly impossible.  Second Ramsey is smart  enough to price it right.  Wallet sold for just 10 bucks.  Breaking News, I’m broke, but even I can dig up 10 bucks.  and last but not least, Ramsey who won’t let us use credit, only accepts debit cards on his site.  (Or at least it only CALLS it a debit card which is exactly how I paid for mine.)

So it’s all confirmed and that little envelope replacer should be in my grubby little hands this week, great timing.   Payday is coming so we’re gonna have some money to put in it.  I’m so excited I can hardly stand it, and since that was so easy, I’m now gonna suggest Mr. Ramsey send us all 100 bucks to get us started on his smarter spending habits.  Man I can’t wait for the email that tells me that’s already being done too.   I’m Anita Cochran, for KKRD online.
