Great links, thanks for some Sunday reading! Have fun at soccer! We still have two chilly games to go! Our trunk or treat cost $20 to participate, so we had to decline it.

I also agree that Dave needs to keep a better eye on his site, since the people who wrote the synopsis on his site got it wrong. That being said, I am still a huge Dave Ramsey fan. I think Dave has done a lot of good for a lot of people, myself included. But I do think we run into trouble when we start taking people's advice without ever questioning it. If someone went to his site and saw the synopsis (before it was changed) without listening to the actual call, they could get the wrong idea, and just because it's on Dave's site, if they took the words as gospel fact, they could end up making a big mistake. That's why I liked the post. It encourages you to question even the biggest authorities on subjects like personal finance. Even the big guys make mistakes sometimes. I understand the synopsis has been changed on Dave's site, and I applaud him and his staff for getting to it so quickly. @Loretta – I did see that, but I agree with some other bloggers that a mutual fund might not be the best place to leave the money.

Please don't be so quick to jump on the bandwagon without first investigating for yourself what other bloggers are saying.
