Lights, camera ... 50 years of action, jack. You might know Bob Barker, baby. The host of The Price is Right game show is calling it quits after 5 decades in show biz. That's right; BB is coming on down. Think about that ... 50 years ago, the big news was Sputnik and segregation. But not everyone knew about Bob. He started small-time and built up over time. Now, he's at the top of his game and is worth (and loved by) millions.

Money works the same way. Invest money consistently over a few decades and it will turn into big-time dough. Waste it by piling up bad credit card debt and car payments and you'll be as broke as the contestant who guesses that a matching dining set is worth 100 bucks. Don't be a sucker ... do Dave Ramsey's plan, make a budget and start making the moolah work for you-la.
