Don't WIPEOUT in this market!

My youngest son loves the new show on ABC called  WIPEOUT!  It’s a show of several obstacle courses and people race through the course and try not to wipe out. It is mainly a show of watching people fall badly and without much grace!

I’ve been thinking lately about how many people have wiped out in this dismal economic slide. I’ve had several conversations with people in this market and most everyone is trying to figure out how survive.  My favorite commentator is Dave Ramsey who challenges all of us to dump debt and manage carefully. He teaches a class called Financial Peace and challenges the students to live debt free.

I’m definitely working at getting out debt and staying out of debt. People who have little debt are the ones who are making it fine in these tough times.  Wipe out debt before it wipes you out!
