Week 13 - The Great Misunderstanding

Image
Member Resource Center Updates Dear Myron & Sally, Week 13 - The Great Misunderstanding We have a duty to be good managers over the blessings God provides. The great misunderstanding is that we believe we’ll get more by holding on to what we already have more tightly. A steward is a manager, not an owner. Give the first 10% of your income to your church or favorite charity. Even if money is tight because you're working your debt snowball, you should still give something. The amount doesn't matter; blessing someone else is priceless. Helpful Tools Need more useful resources as you continue on your journey to financial peace? You can get a 25% discount on Dave's subscription-based website, My Total Money Makeover. This is an incredible deal that allows you to continue using the newly upgraded budgeting tools, your debt snowball, and your journal. Plus, you can participate in a vast online community through forums and chats. The brand-new money tools will be a valuable ...

Clause And Effect

Member Resource Center Updates Dear Myron & Sally, Insurance can be confusing and tedious, but it is a vital aspect of everyone’s financial plan. Week 7 - Clause and Effect Whether it’s health, homeowner, car, life, or disability, you have many insurance options to choose from. You have to make insurance a priority, learn what you need, and get it now. Follow Dave’s advice by determining whether a higher deductible, which brings a lower premium, will save you money in the long term. If you’re in the market for insurance and unsure where to look, Dave recommends Zander Insurance for your term life, disability, health insurance, and identity theft coverage needs. Helpful Tools Check out this week’s featured content in the Member Resource Center (MRC): insurance tips to help you save money.

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

Week 3 Cash Flow Planning Dear Myron & Sally: This week you learned how to manage your money with the zero-based budget. Remember, take control of your personal finances, instead of letting them take control of you. Class Notes Spend your money on paper, on purpose, before the month begins. Budget each paycheck and all income sources. Be patient. It usually takes around 90 days for a budget to start working. Use the envelope system for successful cash management. When the money is gone from an envelope, it's gone. Decide, categorize and prioritize all the money that goes in and out. Helpful Tools The MRC is full of great tools to help you work your budget. You can set up your gazelle budget online—a more detailed version of the quickie budget you filled out last week. Plus, get a refresher on how to balance your checking account! Get a deal on Dave's Deluxe Envelope System—one of our most popular items. If you missed any of Dave’s radio shows this week, check out our FREE o...

Financial Peace & our truck

FINANCIAL PEACE & OUR TRUCK 9/15/2009 5:31:18 AM Which subject line should I write about first? How about writing a little bit about Financial Peace? The two words “financial” and “peace” is an oxymoron. Let me save this and look up the word. .. hold on. 9/15/2009 5:46:03 AM Am I good with words, or what !! J Oxymoron is the right word. Look it up. So I present my FREE services to our church council last night. After sitting there for an hour, I finally got my chance to talk about Dave Ramsey’s financial peace. Our church will probably start another class this January. Speaking of Financial Peace, yesterday was also a very expensive day. Midas fixed up the old truck for me. This truck has many memories.

This is the video of my wife Sally cutting up our credit cards. OK .. most of them were never activated, but it makes a good video. Our coordinator, Cherish A. & our Pastor Meegan were offering a couple of tickets for the Dave Ramsey's next rally May 2009 in KCMO. My video ran out of space. myron@myownfaith2.com

4/3/2009 6:36:16 AM FINANCIAL PEACE: Our 12th class last night was about mortgages. The class was another interesting DVD from Dave Ramsey. We discussed our own homes mortgages. Sally & I and Cherish’s father (a drop in guest) were the only ones that had our mortgages paid off. I spoke up about our homes since being married. I was able to scan an IBD 10 successful tips. I’ll post the image in this blog. myron@myownfaith2.com

3/27/2009 6:54:00 AM Financial Peace update: Our FPU weekly class was about our careers in life. This video was about the income portion of our lives. We have many careers, mine is one of writing, and posting my writings on the web. After class I helped Carol H. load an older version of MS excel. It worked! Now if I could just figure out how to program our new HD/TV/DVD Westinghouse 26” TV. Guess I’ll try to get it going. I can only get one channel .. WGN out of Chicago. OH WELL L8r myron@myownfaith2.com

3/20/2009 6:07:26 AM Financial Peace: Last night Carol H. and I attended FPU @ our church. The Dave Ramsey’s DVD was titled “Retirement and College”. Both of these subjects were a N/A as I am both retired and there’s no need to go to college. But Carol was glad to attend and we had an interesting table talk afterwards. Later, we attempted to load a Microsoft excel program on her computer. Once again it did not work. There’s a key code missing of which Carol does not know key. I guess I’ll need to find the original CD somewhere in my CD/DVD collections. I noticed that my product is dated 2000 and Carol’s is dated 2003 .. another challenge which I want to tackle.

That's not good enough

3/6/2009 5:46:15 AM That’s not good enough: Last night’s FPU subject was titled, “That’s NOT good enough” Our friend Carol H. was ill. It was a fun segment. I told again about my little rear ender. Read my previous blogs for more details. Get busy Myron myron@myownfaith2.com

Financial Peace (week #7)

2/27/2009 6:26:15 AM WHEN THINGS GO BAD: I gotta tell ya .. sometimes it doesn’t even pay to get up. This last week should be titled, “electrical shortcircuited” Yesterday, I get up at my usual time, 3:30-5:00 AM, and do my usual thing. One of the usual thing to do is to turn on the TV. The TV made a couple of grunts, gave me the finger and died. Earlier our CD/DVD player died too. I had already given Mark the old theatre system. Read my previous post about that. So I had just purchased another CD/DVD to replace the one that was given to Mark. So I pick up Mark for our weekly father/son luncheon. I ask mark if it would be OK to shop around for another TV. Sams does not have any to my liking. Wal-Mart had one but they were sold out. I asked Greg A. to see if I could buy the one on display. Greg used to bowl with me. He could NOT find any paper work. So I go home, after driving through at McDonald’s for our togo meal. I finally decide to go online and do some shopping. Last night’s ...

So the techy’s figured out another method. We were able to watch the DVD and had a discussion afterwards. I recommend our politician take this wonderful course. Myron@myownfaith2.com

2/13/2009 5:52:01 AM Financial Peace (week #5) Our FPU meeting last night was titled “Credit Card.” We learned from Dave Ramsey and Cherish A. about the frauds these scammers are using to get our money. It was interesting. myron@myownfaith2.com Posted: 2/13/2009 5:54:51 AM

Dumping Debt

2/6/2009 6:08:20 AM DUMPING DEBT: Last night we listened to Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University’s video titled Dumping Debt. I was able to pick up our friend Carol H. and she invited her friend Mariah. If only our federal government would listen! I’m currently watching fox and friends and the stimulus bill is now over 900 billion. My question is: Whose going to pay for all this? Guess I’ll post this to my blog. Once again, if you feel you got this email in error, please let me know. I’m NOT interested in any spamming you. God Bless, Myron Posted: 2/6/2009 6:13:44 AM

Financial Peace (wk#3)

FINANCIAL PEACE: We attended the 3rd week of FPU last night at our church. The subject was one of debt. I was able to pick up our friend Carol H. There was a lot of good discussion afterwards also. I was able to tell the folks about my two tone car and being able to bargain shop. Sally now has her own workbook along with our old one. FPU is just a lot of common sense concerning YOUR money. If only our politicians and leaders in government would be FPU graduates, we’d have a lot better country. Posted to my public blog: 1/30/2009 5:47:02 AM

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY: It’s so simple, even a politician can do it! That’s my first thoughts about week one of FPU at our church. I only wish our politicians have taken Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace class. Yesterday Sally & I attended our 1st week at OSLC FPU w/ Cherish A. as our coordinator. I introduced myself as a lifetime member, the computer nerd, and Sally introduced herself as the free spirit. We listened to Dave and then went around introducing ourselves and what we’d like to get out of our 13 week class. There were approximately 20 + people in attendance. My FPU flyer and stapled business card is still applicable. Posted to my public blog at: 1/16/2009 6:07:07 AM myron@myownfaith2.com
