Pick who you want to learn from, good luck with your choices. :)And   Kerry, regardless of what you claim, your endorsements are in plain sight on your previous posts, I can pick out what you said that is nothing less than an endorsement for that junk, your problem is you don't like it being pointed out.

In the last 3 months we have reduced our monthly expenses by over $600, just because we were objectively making better choices each month.I know that Ramsey's advice on investing is not popular on sites like BP...but it's hard to argue with his take on personal finance, budgeting and using cash instead of plastic.

I find I work (research and due diligence) better late into the evening when the kids are back, my wife is asleep and the distractions such as noise, calls, etc. are down to a trickle.

If the grading is not a cost effective solution, a sump pump is a good choice.  

:Perhaps if you are a RE agent, stripper, etc. that may be cyclical but the average job, you tend to make more the older you get.Interesting example choices for cyclical job.... not sure how you were able to come up with that..I do agree with you about the average job.

Personally I can't stand the term PITCH.It just invokes in my mind a sleazy tactic to try to sell someone on something and talk them into doing it.I like the term "present you an opportunity" better.I think choice of words can have a bigger impact than people give them credit for. 

Most folks if they have no choice and have to decide between oil or electric.
