A few months ago, I received a Financial Peace University kit as a wedding present (I’m a newlywed!), and my husband will tell you that I’ve been hooked on Dave Ramsey ever since. I watch his Youtube channel, follow him on social media, listen to his radio show, read his books, and talk about his money principles all the freakin’ time!
When I get excited about something, when I feel strongly about a topic, my passion for it usually comes out in the form of a poem. So here’s my latest:
Don’t ever pay with credit.
Don’t you dare take out a loan
The borrower is slave
You need money? Use your own!
…
Pay back those pesky debts
(they’re poison to your health)
Save up, invest, and give
And build yourself some wealth
…
Have to live like no one else
And always act your wage
Then you can live comfortably
When you reach a seasoned age
…
Sweat and sacrifice
is what’s required of you
So hustle, get it done!
The Lord will help you through
“…the borrower is servant to the lender”
-Proverbs 22:7
🙂
PS: Many of the lines in my poem are taken from Dave Ramsey verbatim. I’m giving credit, so I’m not a plagiarizer!
