Seminary Money Dear Dave, My wife and I recently followed your plan and became debt-free, and we’re committed to never going back there again. Currently, I work for the state but I’ve been feeling God’s calling to the ministry. We’ll get an income tax refund of about $4,500 this year, and we’ve both agreed to…
Refund or Better Planning? Dear Dave, Do you recommend having people keep their W2 numbers as close to their tax return numbers as possible, even if they might have to pay at the end of the year or have more taken out? Every year I get a big tax return. But after listening to you…
Hold On For Now Dear Dave, My husband was laid off a month ago from a job making $80,000 a year. We have no debt except our house payment. We owe about $82,000 on it, but it’s valued at approximately $300,000. We’ve also got an emergency fund of $30,000, and I work part-time making about…
What to Do with Restricted Stock? Dear Dave, My husband works for a large company and receives restricted stock bonuses of approximately $5,000 each year.

Having the privilege to witness the growth of songwriter, artist Debra Black [who recently announced joining forces with duo team, The Ruins], I got a sneak-peak to their soon-to-be released single, Deliverance [releasing January 22, 2016]. Words cannot describe how this song fills me in depth, gets me to my knees, and like an open…
Helping Them Budget Dear Dave, My husband and I live on a budget and are getting out of debt. Our daughter is in high school, and we’ve been teaching her about your plan. Is it realistic to expect a 16-year-old with a part-time job and a hand-me-down car to make and live on a budget? —Marcie…
In today’s circuit, being green and growing your own veggies has become cool. Look at Pinterest’s success; it’s based on sharing recipes, going Paleo, and doing crafty things at home. They even have pins on good soil versus bad soil, even more interesting, Jesus himself shared a little story on this topic. In Matthew 13:1-23 the…
