Everythingdown!Dear Dave,
I’m 21 and make $45,000 a year. I’ve heard about your 100 percent down plan to buy a house. I’d like to know more about this, and where I should put the money I’d be saving.
--JP
Dear JP,
I like the way you think! But there’s really no big “plan” to what I’m talking about. It’s not rocket science. It’s just a matter of saving like crazy and living on rice and beans for a few years, so you can save up the cash to buy your home outright.
If you’re looking at buying a place in less than fi ve years I’d put it in a money market account. In this case, you’re not going to be saving long enough for interest to be a huge factor. Your best buddy is going to be a low-key lifestyle.
If your timeframe is more like 15 or 20 years, then you should look into mutual funds. Most people don’t stretch the idea out over that period of time, but if you do you’ll get some great help from a friend named compound interest.
I don’t beat people up for taking out a 15-year, fi xed rate mortgage. But I’m always for people living like no one else so that later they can live like no one else!
—Dave
Life insurance for momDear Dave,
I’ve heard you recommend having seven to 10 times your income in life insurance. How much would you suggest having on a policy for a stay-at-home mom
when there’s no direct income involved?--Dale
Dear Dale,
I’d say somewhere in the $300,000 to $400,000 range, because fi nancially-speak-ing it’s going to take $35,000 to $40,000 a year to replace all the things she does.
Your wife may not bring home an actual pay-check right now, but there’s a ton of personal and economic value attached to everything she does every day. That lady works hard. What she does is very important and would be very diffi cult to replace!
—Dave
Is it worth it?Dear Dave,
I’m interested in your opinion regarding buying a maintenance agreement on a new treadmill. It covers repairs, and an annual visit to check and lubricate all moving parts. Is a maintenance agreement ever worth the money, especially if you’re not the handy-man type?
--Anonymous
Dear Anonymous,
You know why they sell those agreements? Because they’re huge moneymakers!
No, I wouldn’t do that. We have exercise equipment in our home, and we don’t have any maintenance agreements. Lots of folks decide at some point to start working out and get in shape, but very few see it through to the end. A high percentage of expensive workout equipment turns into very expensive coat hangers in a short amount of time.
I don’t recommend maintenance agreements or extended warranties. I self-insure by hav-ing money saved up!
—Dave
DAVE SAYS
Who Is Dave Ramsey?Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Re-visited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifi es his life’s work of teaching others how to be fi nancially re-sponsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.
Ramsey knows fi rst-hand what fi nancial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-to-riches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his fi nancial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their fi nancial distress and how to set things right - fi nancially, emotionally and spiritually. Ramsey offers life-changing fi nancial advice as host of a nationally syndicat-ed radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.
He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most

I’m looking for a job, but I can’t work in a job where I have to sit still all the time. When I sit still, I get twitchy, and I don’t think most companies would want me to twitch. If I stay busy, I’m okay. Do you think I could work at a bakery or pet store?
-The Woodlands, Texas Reader
You’re right that being twitchy could be a problem for some companies, and you’re smart to recognize that it could be a problem. You need to just go to bakeries and pet stores and apply.
Don’t mention being twitchy.
I just graduated with a degree in Hu-man Resources, and I’m trying to get a job in corporate recruiting. I have called a lot of companies, but they all
Have a questionWow, that’s harsh. I have to dis-agree with you, because I think it’s smart to ask if you don’t know. Dressing correctly for an interview may seem elementary to you, but I assure you that I have met many, many people who didn’t know what to wear to an interview. For instance, fl ip fl ops are just never a good idea. AND I don’t believe that “common sense” is all that common.
I had car trouble and missed work last week. When I got there the next day, I was fi red!! The supervisor said that I was a no call no show. I don’t know how she could think that because I warned her that my car might not start. It looks like she could have remembered that I talked with her about it. Do you think it was fair?
Yes. It’s your responsibility to let your work know that you won’t be able to be there.
tell me that I have to have recruiting experience. What do I do, now?
-The Woodlands, Texas Reader
The best way to get actual recruit-ing experience is to go to a staffi ng agency or a recruiting fi rm. I started out with a company that specialized in sales recruiting and stayed in permanent placement for more than 12 years before I got into corporate recruiting. I’m not suggesting that you would have to work in that in-dustry for that long (I loved it), but it’s a great place to get a start. The most important attributes you can have in recruiting are an outgoing personality and the ability to read people.
Some of the people who write to you sound so stupid. Anyone with common sense would know how to dress for an interview. Are these people just not paying attention?
-Houston, Texas reader
