Plus some FPU week 4 stuff!

Just a reminder: We will not be podcasting the weekend of the 10th. Yes, Lisa accidentally said “next week” in the podcast. She made a boo-boo. We’ll see you next week, but on the weekend of the 10th, we’ll be in sunny Florida spending time with Lisa’s grandpa and mama!

And the winner is (drumroll please!)….

Erica Bogner!

Congratulations Erica! Erica will receive the Financial Peace Revisited book, the Dumping Debt DVD and the Cash Flow Planning DVD in the mail shortly!

Mentioned in this episode:

Listeners Supporting Listeners: This week we feature Devra’s shop, Devz Bagz. Devra makes one-of-a-kind appliqué bags and tooth fairy pillows.

Visit Devra’s shop if you need a fun, eco-friendly bag.

And last week, we mentioned Pam’s shops at Name-Bracelet.com or LiveBraveNow.com, but we didn’t do a great job on the show mentioning Pam, so we’re giving her some link love again this episode.

Listeners helping listeners: One of our listeners, Pam, has a jewelry shop with beautiful name bracelets and a personalized clothing and gifts shop full of a variety of fun products for a good cause. From Pam:

Our organization is a husband and wife team that have many things to be thankful for. We have two kids that are happy (most of the time) and healthy, we have lived and visited many foreign countries as an Army Family and we have come full circle living next to family again. More recently we’ve had a cancer scare. That’s the reason we give 10% of our net profit for brain cancer research.

You can support Pam and her family by shopping at Name-Bracelet.com or LiveBraveNow.com.

Michael and Annie from Dallas, TX called into Dave’s show on May 21st, and paid off $30k in four months. How did they do it? They sold everything, including the little things that added up to $1,500. They cut their budget down to the minimum, and Michael’s annual bonus sealed the deal.

Congratulations Michael and Annie! We’re so proud of you!

Listeners supporting listeners: One of our listeners, Vito, and his family are raising money to go on a missions trip to Ireland to minister to youth. In short, he and his group tries to be the hands and feet of Jesus so that the youth there will hear the message. Since Vito has been a great supporter of our show, we wanted to give back by letting you all know about his plans. He needs to raise $5,000 for the trip to Ireland, and you can donate directly on his ChipIn page or by ordering fresh roasted coffee from him for $12.50 per pound plus shipping (medium and dark roast are available). If you’d like to order coffee, email him at IrelandONine(at)gmail(dot)com with your order. Most importantly, pray. He and his family need your prayers. (He is also raising an additional $6,000 for another missions trip for a girl who is undergoing surgery this year. Her dream is to go to Kenya to minister to children, and Vito is helping to make that happen for her. His ChipIn page shows a total of $10,000 that needs to be raised by November.)
