Updated: 2/1/2016. “How many times has Dave Ramsey said, ‘Deliver pizzas’?” Said s omeone on the Dave Ramsey forums . The answer is: lots. I hear it often when I listen to his show. That and ‘sell the car.’ ( Car payments KILL people’s wealth-building income every month. ) Since first posting this list back in December of 2014, I’ve heard great, quality responses and suggestions. The original list of five things has been updated as follows: A kit for receipt convenience A fuel efficient car with an accurate GPS A need for speed The “Wow!” extras A smile These tips apply no matter what company you drive for.

Day 45 & 46: Tick and Tock

Monday and Tuesday were very good days for tips. On Monday, I brought home $57 on 9 deliveries. That is fantastic. I was so grateful. Tuesday night was even better.

As I sat working, I adjusted my feet underneath. I lost altitude. I didn’t think anything of it. The loss of altitude coincided with my foot adjustment. You’ve done that before. You hit the button with your heel and boom , you’re eight inches closer to Mother Earth. “Nothing?” I hear. I turned around and started. Cap’n was right there. “I didn’t get anything out of you?” she said. She had a wry smile. “Uhhhh, you startled me just now standing there!” “I lowered ...
