With great regret, The tractor must be sold.

Why should anyone "deserve" an inheritance? I was taught to make my own way thru life. I was honest and worked hard all my life and believe my offspring should do the same. Sad to say, but none of them have my work ethic or share any of my values. One, I haven't even seen or heard from in over 10 years.

I ,you deserve something. I can't stand that word. I don't think anyone ''deserves'' anything . If they write you in the will it's fine. But you don't deserve anything. It was theirs to give away how ever they saw fit.
They took care of you when you came into this world, and you take care of them in their last days. In the end, It all evens out.
My dad left what he had (which wasn't much ) to my sister. I had no ill feelings about it.
I certainly didn't deserve of any of his things

I just wish the voters felt the same way...

Do you mean the ones who vote for a living instead of work for a living?

Let's leave the political side of it for the other forums please.

Dave Ramsey is a moron. He brainwashes people that can't think for themselves.
I did EVERYTHING the opposite of what Ramsey teaches. His thing is eat rice and bean and sleep on the floor with the heat or AC off until your debt free. Although I could have afforded to be debt free but I borrowed money and bought three homes and sold then all for huge profits. Then I borrowed more and purchaed anything and everything and flipped it for PROFIT.
Here's some examples even a three year old can understand.

RAMSY WAY: I am a burger flipper with good credit ratingand listened to the brain washer Ramsey I would eat beans and rice and sleep on the floor for 15 years till I paid off my house and drove around in a 1964 Chevy Biscayne station wagon.

PERSON WITH A BRAINS WAY: I am a burger flipper with good credit rating I take a second mortgage on my home and purchase a second home I fix it up at night and weekends from flipping burgers and I seel that house for $60,000 profit. I continute to not listen to Ramsey and I don't use that $60,000 to be debt free and now I purchase two houses do the same thing and now I have $120,000 in PROFIT and it's taken three years. I keep doing this for the next 15 years and not only am I debt free but I I have 500K in cash instead of doing it Ramsy's way I would only have a house paid for and a crappy car.

Use your brains borrow and INVEST.

Another one. Keep your tractor as you can make money with a tractor so the tractor PAYS FOR ITSELF.

Use your brains.

I purchase equipment that pays for itself and I still own the equipment to sell at a later date.

There are a MILLION ways to make money rather than Ramsy's way.

I don't hear him often but the other night he said there are two kinds of debt... the bad one is borrowing to consume... it does make sense and I see it often.

If Real Estate was easy no one would ever loose and many do... it is a job and very easy to get yourself in trouble as residential rentals becomes more and more technical with Rent Control, Vacancy Tax, Business License, etc...and this is just in my short tenure.

Dave Ramsey is far from being a moron....and his classes should be mandatory in all High Schools......might have helped you?

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Ramsey is about how to stay out of debt, not how to make money.

 

[Thall303]

Respectfully, follow his advise and you will accumulate wealth. Few people build wealth by borrowing money!

There is also a big difference in "Frugal" and "Cheap". "Cheap" is the Mooch that always forgets his wallet when the check comes. "Cheap" also shows up when anything is free.

Only time I tend to get cheap is when we're out to dinner with others who order several bottles of expensive wine then want to split the check evenly. My wife and I don't drink wine.
