I'm so excited to share a special giveaway with you this week! Each Thursday in April, I'll have FIVE copies of The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness
 by Dave Ramsey to share with five lucky readers, and know that this book can transform  your financial future.
My husband and I initially took Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University almost ten years ago, and it had a huge impact on our finances and marriage. While we had always lived frugally and stayed on a budget, the encouragement in the class to payoff all our debt (for us that included cars and student loans) and continue to live on a cash budget motivated us while working towards our long term goals. As I've shared before, it wasn't always easy (in fact, it still isn't always easy!) but being able to save, give, and live abundantly has made our marriage and family so much more peaceful over the years. We haven't had any debt besides our home for the last five years, and the day that we paid off that last student loan felt like Christmas morning at our house.
Over the last month I've enjoyed reading The Total Money Makeover, and was again reminded of why we choose to live differently than what society tells us is “normal”. The success stories in the book are so motivating, and it reminded me why we make daily decisions to wisely manage our finances, no matter what anyone else does around us.  One of the (many!) surprising facts Dave shares in The Total Money Makeover was this:
“History also teaches us that debt wasn't always a way of life; in fact, three of the biggest lenders today were founded by people who hated debt. Sears now makes more money on credit than on the sale of merchandise. They are not a store; they are a lender with some stuff out front.  However, in 1910 the Sears catalog stated, ‘Buying on Credit is Folly.' ”
~ Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover, page 23
I have no idea where your finances are today, but if credit cards or other debts have left you struggling with how to gain control, reading The Total Money Makeover is a great place to start. You'll be challenged and encouraged to make wise financial decisions, and your financial future will be changed. I promise, you have the power to control your finances, and this is a great way to start.

Love your website & emails. I am trying to get out of debt due to a job loss. I used to be jealous of what people had, nice cars, big house. Now I’m jealous of what they don’t have, mortgage payments & credit card debt. I have read one of Dave’s books, but would love to read this one, I just liked him on FB. I have told many friends about the PPP, I even have my 11 year old son addicted to couponing.
My financial goal is to pay off my student loan and 2 credit cards within the next year!

My husband and I have been pinching pennies for the past 4 yrs trying to get out of debt caused by his business nosediving when the economy changed. With no money coming in, everything went on CC’s and now we have been digging out ever since. We are on the home front now where we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been following Dave since then but have never owned his book. I’d love to have a copy 🙂 His information is invaluable.

Debit- I don’t even know where to began. I would love to learn how to budget and manage money better. Couponing is one thing. But saving money in an account is another. Student loans, credit cards and balance is a weakness of mine. I need more guidance. Therefore, hopefully this book could give me some insight! Thank you for all the chances to enter into your drawings!
I just want to be able to pay my son through seminary. He will be heading out in 1 year when he graduates from college in town. He is getting his Theology Degree and moving to seminary. Just need to be able to afford.
