My wife and I are big fans of Dave Ramsey and we worked an adapted version of the plan that Dave presents for getting yourself out of debt and changing your life. He regularly says that people need to "Act their wage" and "Live like no one else so later you can live like no one else." We really tried to take those comments to heart and change our family’s future.

I guarantee that if you read through what Dave and his team have to say about your personal finances and even your integrity as an individual for taking responsibility for your financial decisions, you’ll change your life forever.

I’ll also guarantee you that it’s not easy. You’re going to probably be grumpy a bit as you work through these efforts, but it’s not much different than the significantly hard work of exercising and getting your physical body in shape.

Dave Ramsey has a show on the Fox News Network, daily podcasts, numerous books including his Financial Peace University class. He also travels the country for live events. I really suggest you pick up something of his and give him a try if you’re looking for a financial change.

Don’t wait for someone else to bail you out of your situation. Get down and get serious and take you success and future into your own hands.

One of the things I heard last night in the President’s address to Congress and the American people is that there’s been a new website setup for the economic bailout. It can surely be said he is still using technology and social media to expand his touch and communication with the citizens of the United States and anyone else that wants to listen.

The Recovery.gov website was setup to let taxpayers identify and understand where the money they’re lending to all these people is actually going. I like the transparency of it all. Let’s hope it’s stays accurate and updated in a timely fashion.

One thing I saw that was missing is an RSS feed for me to stay up-to-date on what’s happening on the site without me having to go back regularly and check for myself.

Go get your information on your bailout yourself at…

Here’s another online contest where you could win $250,000 to pay off your mortgage. In economic times like these, getting rid of that house payment would really come in handy wouldn’t it?

Just to give you an idea of the scale, that $700B bailout we all just paid for would have been enough money to award $250,000 to 2,800,000 homeowners. I’d say that would have helped the economy a bit too. That would have been an Extreme Financial Makeover: Home Edition.

Since that didn’t happen, the next best thing is to enter the contest and see if you can win your own mortgage getting paid off. I’ve got to read the instructions though, if I won that money, I’d pay of this house, sell it at a loss and go buy us a bigger house a big discount with the housing market the way it is. Wonder if I can use it for that.

Just follow this link to enter the contest. You are signing up for a free trial subscription for Popular Mechanics magazine. I’m a subscriber and love it, but I also know this is one magazine that makes it easy to cancel your subscription if you want to after the trial.
