Saving for purchases is totally overlooked these days -- most people put purchases on a credit card instead of saving, and I think that is a huge mistake.

I have the similar set of rules but use different names for #4 and #5. For me, #4 is "Pay cash for purchases," and #5 is "Buy only what I need." Here via CoPF #154 A great set of rules.

A friend of mine told me yesterday that Dave Ramsey is ripping people off with his book, which is full of things people already know. Well, apparently they don't... unfortunately.
