I used to listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio until he no longer be part of the guest speaker. I do follow some of his advices and I have found most of them are quite helpful for me. I do actually save more than I expected by setting up emergency fund and all that. However, I do bump up the emergency fund each month to just make sure I will need it in the future when something happens. He is one of my favorite speakers on the radio because I really like listening to his conversations with other callers.
Pandandesign, thank you for your feedback! I have really been enjoying Dave Ramsey's book "Total Money Makeover." I love his ideas on saving money! My husband and I are working on having a solid emergency fund that we can rely on in case of an emergency. It is nice to know we have a little bit of a "cushion" in case something happened. Thanks again for your feedback! Happy saving!
