One of my many iPhone shots from the live Town Hall For Hope broadcast last night

Last night was a great, encouraging time. My Wife and I had the pleasure of attending the live ‘Town Hall For Hope‘ event at Lifechurch.tv and hearing directly from the man, Dave Ramsey, about his take on the current economy. I, of course, love to have my own beliefs validated, but I think my wife might have thought she was listening to me in a Dave Ramsey costume or something 🙂
The common thread running through his hour-and-a-half talk was that the world is NOT coming to an end, that we are NOT in a depression greater than the great depression, and that if you want things to turn around, you have to take personal responsibility for your own finances and your own situation and make things happen. In other words, QUIT listening to the doom & gloom media, QUIT being scared, QUIT making excuses, and QUIT waiting on the government or the President to fix things.. it’s not their job, and even if it were, they couldn’t possibly do it! It’s up to each of us individually!
I’m hoping to have some video to post up on here soon for those of you who missed it, but for now, I’ve got a few quotes from Dave to leave you with, that directly addressed the real estate market:
- “Housing will lead us out of this recession.”
- “It’s the best time in 30 years to buy a home.”
- “I’m continuing to invest in real estate.”
Follow the smart money. Dave knows his stuff, and he’s right on the money about the real estate market.
