“THE DAVE RAMSEY SHOW” CLEARS 250TH STATION

Saturday May 28, 2005
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — “The Dave Ramsey Show” has joined the line-up on WGOW AM 1150 in Chattanooga, Tenn. making the show available in 250 markets. Hosted by best-selling author, Dave Ramsey, the live radio talk show focuses on life, love and relationships and how they happen to revolve around money. The show has been aggressively syndicated for four years and boasts more than two million listeners weekly.

“Since Dave is a Tennessee native it is especially important to us that ‘The Dave Ramsey Show’ is available across the state,” said “The Dave Ramsey Show” Executive Vice President, Bill Hampton. “Coming back on the air in Chattanooga completes the Tennessee puzzle and rounds out our 250 affiliate stations.”

Listeners from across the country call in daily to ask Ramsey real life questions about getting out of debt, real estate decisions, investing, saving for emergencies, and wealth building strategies. Recent theme hours included “twentysomethings,” “real estate,” “women only,” “plasectomies” and of course “Debt Free Friday” – where listeners call in to tell Ramsey how much debt they have paid off and that they are now DEBT FREE!
By age 26, Ramsey had accumulated a personal real estate portfolio worth more than $4 million. Just four years later, he was so far in debt he was forced to declare personal bankruptcy. Ramsey rebuilt his financial life and spent the last decade counseling hundreds of thousands on “The Dave Ramsey Show.” Ramsey also authored The New York Times best-sellers Financial Peace, More Than Enough and The Total Money Makeover

To ask Ramsey a question, call in during the show time at 1-888-825-5225 or send an e-mail to daveonair@daveramsey.com. For more information about “The Dave Ramsey Show” visit www.daveramsey.com.

Hi Dave
What is wrong with our Supreme Court? Our government has clearly overstepped the Constitution by directly interfering with private enterprise and using taxpayers money to buy private businesses?

I purchased a 100K CD last October. The terms were 3.5% for an 8 month CD. The maturity letter came today (compass bank) and they expect to pay me $102,316.51 when the CD matures June 15. The CD is a fixed-rate interest payable at maturity. Interest payment method is Capitalization. I bought a Cd for 3.5%. I expected $3500 in interest. How can they short my interest to $2,316? I have not taken any withdrawals from the account.
