Not really for me! I can understand how this would be super helpful for many, but I'm not sure how much of this I will employ. Also the Rush Limbaugh "you are the problem!!", fear of credit cards, and slight misogyny/overtly religious delivery was also not for me

This is a crash course in finance. Has some excellent principals. A lot of this advice is really strong for people with zero knowledge or are misinformed. I don't agree with everything in here, however it is a great starting point for someone that needs to get their financial life in order.

This book basically has the same advice as the Financial Peace Planner, but this one is a bit more readable. Good advice.

He's a bit too condescending and thinks he's much funnier than he really is but he's got some good ideas. He also relies too much on catch phrases like "there was more month than money" and "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired" a tad too heavily but I hear that catch phrases are popular in the financial world.
He advocated living debt-free and I can see the appeal in that. However, with the missus and I both in school, that's just not pragmatic at the moment. His steps are simple and make sense.It's not a bad plan. And Pam and I are going to attempt a couple of steps even though we'll still be acruing debt.
If you need a financial book this one isn't a bad start. I'd just reccommend reading another after it to get more than one point of view.

I loved this book, and gained a lot of great insight from it. I started reading in to Dave Ramsey a few weeks ago and became so inspired to tackle my debt. His baby steps make so much sense to me, and made me feel like achieving financial freedom is actually attainable instead of getting swallowed by debt for the rest of my life. I started listening to his show, and old episodes via podcast/youtube, and then decided I should pick up the book so I could learn in depth more about the baby steps that I am starting on. It really helped me understand it all a lot more clearly, and helped me see a clear path on how my husband and I are going to tackle this head on. My husband is getting a little tired of hearing me drone on about our get out of debt plan and all the things I've learned because I just can't shut up about it. I am telling everyone I know as well, because I believe we deserve more than what we have been taught for years regarding how we spend our money, and going in to debt. I am ready to be debt free, and I am hoping I can come back to this review in just a couple years as someone who actually is debt free.
