Summary: How To Go Broke  – Howard Dayton and Steve Moore  take a 'tongue-in-cheek'  look at a number of sure-fire ways to go broke, today on MoneyWise. Then they turn to questions from listeners (800-525-7000 or moneywise@compass1.org): "I'm told that I'm a semi-finalist in a Cadillac Escalade give-away - how should I handle that?" (caller mentioned the ministry, 'RighteousRides.org') "I made a mess of my credit when I was younger, but now I want to clean it up and set things right - can you give me some direction?" (Howard mentioned AnnualCreditReport.com and CreditKarma.com) "Should I put more than 20% down on a home I'm building, knowing that I'll have other major expenses before I can move in?" Mentioned on today's program was Howard's book, 'Free and Clear', as well as the group study, 'Navigating Your Finances God's Way'.  Be sure to check out the Compass website for a complete listing of helpful resources and radio archives.
