good enough for dave ramsey

My wife and I are going through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University class right now through our church small group. We're just a few weeks in, but it has been very good for us so far.

I noticed during the 'Buyer Beware' lesson video (week 5 I think), Dave pulled his calculator off the lectern in order to calculate what some investment of your daily coffee money or something would pay off in 79 years of earning 12% interest. Whether or not his methods appeal to you, you have to love this about him: he uses a 12c. Of course, Dave was a real estate professional. The hp 12c was THE must have calculator for real estate folks.

I keep a 12c in my desk. I use it for balancing the checkbook, doing taxes, etc. It is the financial calculator for me.

I'm jazzed now that I know Dave is an hp guy. I did notice, though, that in spite of having multiple billions of dollars of coffee money he has stored away in mutual funds, he's still using his old gold 12c and not a new 12c platinum. Calculate like no one else so you can calculate like no one else.

calculator apps for your computer

I told you a couple of post backs about the hp apps for iPhone and iPod Touch. They are also selling apps for your computer (Windows).

You can get the 35s (my favorite of the current scientifics) or your choice of one of these three financials: 20b, 12c or 12c Platinum.

If you're a PC and an hp, you'll want all 4 of these. Check 'em out here.
