What do you guys think of this quote?
?When broke people start to make fun of your financial plan, you know you are on the right track? ?Dave Ramsey
A friend of mine is saving a ton of money each month for a house and another one of his friends spends everything he gets. This guy was telling me how his friend can't understand his financial plan. Then he ended his e-mail with that quote.
I understand it. It just seems snobby to me. What do you guys think?
Re: Quote
I kind of agree with it. Yes, it's snobby. But it's true.
We have 2 sets of friends who think we're crazy when we talk about our E-fund, and they will chuckle and say "what's that?" They also think we're nuts when we talk about paying extra towa

Money and friends is a difficult thing. Most people are at different stages in life and make different incomes.
I've heard of Piropos and I know it's pricey. I see no problem with telling someone you'd rather go to a less pricey place. If they
I wouldn't discuss this quote with others, but I do agree with it.
This is actually true in many areas of life...when one is successful or does well, the very doing of doing well makes others feel envious, less successful, and unhappy as it point
I think it's true. I know that our financial advisor made fun of us for having so much in savings. We have a ridiculous amount in savings, and it's probably stupid not to put it in a mutual fund... but if we had followed her advice in 2007,
