Don't marry the wrong person

The big-time blog on Forbes right now currently talks about how you shouldn't marry a career woman. That's the "he said" part. The she said part countered with not marrying a lazy man. It's the first time in history that two people make a point and miss the point at the same time.

Just like Dave Ramsey says, careers and work and money are things you have to think about when getting hitched, but it's not all about those things. It's about love, baby. Nothing like it in the world, and the last time I checked, it's kind of important to have when you get married. If you don't have it, you ain't tying the knot; you're tying the noose, baby. It starts with love, and that starts with The Man Upstairs.

I don't care if it's the joe or the jill in the marriage; if you're so concerned about your career taking a nose-dive when you say "I do", then don't. Just like in the dictionary, family always comes before work, baby. Don't get your priorities out of whack.

I'm not Dave Ramsey, babe, but I sure wish I was. Congrats on the debt (or lack of it)! You're winning and telling your debt to take the train. Here's looking at you, kid!

DEBTective - You are one crazy dude...but man, I love your site. You're still crazy...but in a cool kind of way. I dig your "debt-hatin'".

Tell Dave Ramsey to keep up the good work if you guys chat soon. Oh, and thanks for the scoops in your blog. They make me think.

Keep talking, babe. Debt-hatin is the way to go. I'll pass the word to Dave, and you keep up the good work too.
