We talked to Dave Ramsey!


So, as you all know from an e-mail we sent out as well as our past blog, we recently paid off all of our debt. As you can tell, we are a little excited and proud of the goal we accomplished. Sorry if it has been a little much. After this blog, we are done. Promise. But, now we feel it is official that we got to talk to Dave! When Paul and I started the Total Money Makeover, we started listening to his radio talk show. On Fridays, people call in and shout over the phone that they are debt free and tell a little bit of their story. Paul and I talked about how cool it would be to call when we finally finished paying off our debt to celebrate with Dave Ramsey himself. So, we called and called and called. The first time we called we got on hold but then 1 hour into us holding on the line, my phone died. Then we tried another 2 weeks in a row but nobody ever answered the phone. I finally was able to leave a message on one occasion with our information. On Thursday I got a phone call from someone at the Dave Ramsey television show asking if we wanted to talk to Dave over the phone for his show the following day. So, Friday morning, they called us and we able to tell Dave our story and shout to the world that we were debt free. And then it aired Friday night. Here is the video!
