So do finances. If you give the same care to you finances that you give your garden, both should grow. You wouldn’t think of planting your day lily in the middle of an interstate, so don’t think of planting your finances in a hostile environment. One plant may do well in the sun, others in the shade.

Prior to FPU, we thought we were doing well financially and never considered that we had too much debt. We didn’t have credit card debt, we paid off our car notes early, and the interest rate on the student loan was at a low 2.75%, so we thought we were doing okay. But Dave Ramsey’s view of debt is very different.

Morningstar holds a huge database of American stocks as well as Canadian stocks. If you’ll notice, Morningstar gives our test company a better rating and I think we’re about to find out why. So I then look at the debt to see if that is the reason they have so much cash through the recession.
