February 19th I attended the Dave Ramsey Live event here in Oklahoma City. I can say that if you have been listening to Dave for any significant length of time, read any of his books, or attended his Financial Peace University; you are not likely to get any new information out of his live event. This really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as Dave’s message is one of simplicity and focus over depth and sophistication. All that said, Dave’s events are fun. The event is as much a pep-rally as a financial training event. Here are the only two tidbits (seriously, there are the only two) that I had not heard from Dave during some previous encounter with his material:
If you walk around life without a plan, you will loose your money to those that do.
89% of people who own $1,000,000 homes do NOT make a million.
While the information I got from the Live Event wasn’t exactly new it does work and sometimes everyone can use a little pep-rally.
