Save Money By Listening?

At times women tend to complain that men do not listen. Men commonly defend themselves by saying they just have selective listening skills.

A few days ago I was in a doctor's office reading a magazine. Actually, I wasn't reading anything because there was nothing of value to read by flipping through a magazine. Sure seemed like a better plan than staring at a blank wall though. While I was reading, a nurse entered the room and called my name (three times). "You're just like my husband," she complained as we walked together. "Men just don't listen."

What if I told you you could save money just by listening? I think most of us could.

While I run there is not much else to do than listen. While I could listen to music I find it much more informative to listen to something that might affect or impact me. If you are a runner, listen to the radio a lot, or drive a lot I wanted to suggest two podcasts you can listen to that might help you with your money.

The first is MoneyLife, a Crown Financial Ministries 30 minute radio show. Click here to download up to two weeks worth of programs.

The second is the Dave Ramsey Show. Dave Ramsey hosts a three hour radio show daily, but allows one hour of his show to be downloaded free each day. To get the Dave Ramsey Show I suggest you download a postcast organizer like Zencast and update it daily to get the show. To download the organizer click here. From there you just need to subscribe to the Dave Ramsey Show.
