Good day, Nerdy Bloggers!  I’ve not done a podcast review or recommendation here before, but I’d like to change that today.  Today I’d like to recommend to you with the highest recommendation I can possibly give, The Dave Ramsey Show Podcast. 

If you’ve never heard of Dave, let me give a few basic facts on this guy.

• He’s originally from Alcoa, TN (also what is formerly known as North Maryville, aka my hometown).
• He is a nationally known and respected Christian financial advisor.
• His most popular book is Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover.  I recently picked this up and am looking forward to reading it.
• He has his own show on the Fox Business Network and a nationally syndicated radio program, from which this podcast is derived.

As mentioned, The Dave Ramsey Show Podcast is derived from The Dave Ramsey Show as heard on radio stations across the country.  Dave is known for his down-to-earth, straight, and honest financial advice on how to get out of debt and stay that way.  Dave encourages his listeners to perform “plasectomies” on their wallets by destroying their credit cards and getting themselves on a tight written budget in order to attack their “debt snowball.”  I’ve listened to his podcast for about a month now, and his advice has really encouraged me to keep a close watch on my money.  I’m recommending this podcast to you if you’re interested in hearing great advice on how to better keep watch on your money and make sound financial decisions.  Being young and starting out, I’ve found this podcast to be great for me in encouraging me to do the right things with my money.  The thing I like best about Dave is that he doesn’t kid around.  If you call in to his show and he hears that you’re about to make a poor financial decision, he tells you about it straight up.  I appreciate his honesty and straightforward talk.  The greatest phrase I keep hearing on the show comes from Dave.  He encourages people to, “Live like no one else, so you can give like no one else.”  If you are living by his method of budgeting your lifestyle and not borrowing money, when you are debt free and your family is taken care of, you are financially free to give generously and help others in need.  Scripturally, this is so, so true…James says that true religion is to care of orphans and widows in their distress.  When you are being a good steward of your resources, you can help those in need.  Fabulous Truth is right there, my friends, very fabulous Truth.  This podcast gets two thumbs way, way up from me!  You can subscribe to this podcast through iTunes, just look up The Dave Ramsey Show.
