Grilled Chicken Sandwich, Refried Beans, Cinnamon Bread Stick Dear Mitch, The first thing I’d say is don’t go crazy on any big-ticket items while you’re paying off debt. Keep it simple, and go out to celebrate with a nice dinner after you get your first paycheck. ReDave member, the more you put toward debt, the faster it goes away. For the time being, I want you to remain passionate about getting out of debt. Your thought process needs to be, “Wow, I got a new job making more money. I can get out of debt even quicker!” Again, I’m okay with you adjusting a bit that first month and having a little fun to celebrate your good fortune. But after that, I want you to turn around and attack that debt with even more intensity than before. Then, once you’re out of debt, you can celebrate that with something a lot nicer. Congratulations, Mitch! — Dave Ramsey No Electronic Access!

Do you want me to take a look at it?” Mr. Hatsker shook his head. “Probably not, Brent.

To be fair, the collection count. Does that include debit cards, too? Sue business does have a few good people in it. But it also has those who will lie and make threats. If you’re doing something like scheduling utility payments to come through your debit card or out of your personal checking account, that’s perfectly fine. But there are much safer ways to handle situations with debt collectors. You can send a money order overnight, or wire the cash to them. You can also send a cashier’s check. Some folks have even used pre-paid debit cards that aren’t attached to any of their accounts. The pre-paid debit card isn’t my favorite way to handle these things, but it’s a lot better than giving a dishonest collector the opportunity to really mess you up! — Dave Wednesday –3oz Roast Beef, Baked Potato, 1/2c Green Beans, Crunchy Cranberry Salad Thursday – Beef Nachos with Pinto Beans, 1/2c Bread Pudding, Orange Friday – 31c Lasagna, French Bread, Tossed Salad, 1/2c Plums Monday – 1c Chili, 1/2c Fruit Cocktail, 1/2c Vanilla Ice Cream Tuesday – 3oz Pork Cutlet, 1/2c Mashed Potatoes, 1/2c Corn Broccoli Bake, 1/2c Peaches With an ad in the 624-4429 Broadcaster * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business, and CEO of Ramsey Solutions.
