Choosing to be Weird

Let me tell you something. Not only am I blessed to work with an online community that is remarkable, I simply enjoy being a part of it because of the way it makes me feel. Dave Ramsey's My Total Money Makeover is a really neat place. It does cost to be a member, but that is why it is so much better. There's little rift raft involved as a result of people making an investment in the site. But the best thing about it is the fact that the community just reaffirms the decisions I am making with my money.

The whole "being weird" thing Dave talks about isn't just a marketing line. Sometimes, I really do feel that way when it comes to financial decisions. There are people in my life who don't think seriously about financial decisions from big things to little things and when asked my opinion, I really do feel like I am sitting out in right field by myself. I know the looks I get of "Geez - someone else brainwashed by Dave". Yes, those looks make me feel weird.

So as someone who works for this online community, when I do smart things with money, the people there make me feel normal again. I like that.

Here's a blurb from the site:

What would you call someone who has no car payment, no credit card debt and has a lot of cash saved for emergencies? In today's world, you'd call them weird. And that's exactly what they are! Normal is just another way to say broke; so who wants to be normal? Would you rather be weird and have money and peace of mind, or would you rather be broke and just like everyone else? When you join Dave Ramsey's My Total Money Makeover, you'll learn how to be weird; and how much fun it is too!
