I’d tithe first, then I’d pray about what God would have me do with it. If he left it up to me, then I’d probably either invest in redoing my backyard, or redoing my third bath, both of which are “on my list.” I’d also fix my car’s front bumper which got cracked during the snow.

Oh yeah, he’s got a couple of books. I’d recommend The Total Money Makeover. That one gives you the “baby steps”, as he calls them, to get out of debt and build wealth. If you have a used bookstore in your area, I’d check there first to see if there is a copy there, since it’s a pretty popular book. If not, then just get a used one off Amazon. He has another book called Financial Peace, and that is great too, but as he says, that book is more of the “why” as opposed to the “how and what” in Total Money Makeover.

LANDSCAPING!!! I am dying to up the curb appeal of my home by painting the exterior (on the list for May), adding a paver patio, pergola, partial privacy fence, pourous concrete driveway (or at least strips), and lots and lots of native plants and wildflowers!!!

That sounds brilliant! Is there a book that Dave Ramsey has written that gives you some FAQ’s and game plan?
