I'm all smiles today, jack. Why, you may ask? Have a seat and I'll explain. Seems that the financial blog of yours truly was named one of the Top 100 financial blogs to watch in 2007 by Wisebread. How's that float your boat, baby?

Of course, I couldn't have done it without Mr. Dave Ramsey Show host (Dave Ramsey), my fans, and The Man Upstairs. But it's not about me. It's about learning how to make a budget. Why make one? So you can pay off debt? Why do that? So you can build wealth and give a bunch of it away to help people. That's what we're really about around here.

So here's the deal ... help me spread the word. Put this blog on your blogroll. Let's help get people out of debt so they can get their lives back, baby. The quicker people learn to deep-six their consumer debt, the bigger their smiles. Let's (blog)roll.
