Good advice, though I don't think the absolutely-no-debt part is a great idea for people in their early 20s like me due to how dependent things like getting an apartment can be on a credit score. Once I'm older though, sure! The only other thing I wasn't a huge fan of was all the references to religion, though I respect Dave Ramsey's position on it. I was already familiar with several of his ideas thanks to my parents making me go to FPU with them when I was 14ish and listening to his radio station half the time I'm in the car with my dad, but I appreciate my parents loaning me this book to refresh my memory now that I'm getting to be on my own.

I am so glad that I bought this book. This book has not only helped me be a better money manager but it has let me see that I am not alone in feeling like a failure when it comes to bad money management. I am slowly getting out of debt and I am learning ways to make sure my daughter isn't sand led down with student loan debt like I am. Must read!!!

Just a helpful book for resetting bad habits and being inspired to make behavior changes!
Pretty good common sense basics guide to money management. This dude is not the greatest writer, but he knows what he's talking about. He also quotes the Bible a lot, which I found mildly irritating but I guess if you're really into Proverbs it's persuasive.
Not wrong on the details, but the tone / way of speaking didn't really resonate with me.
I'm more of a Ramit Sethi guy.

I was reading this along side with my Financial Peace University class and it's really well done. Not all the chapters apply to me right now but I'll definitely return to them when they do!

This was a VERY good read! I learned so much info and it was written clearly and easy to follow along. I couldn’t put it down! Lots of great info!
This book is extremely helpful in figuring out how to manage your money and I wish I would have known these things well before marriage (you can bet my children certainly will). This book is meant to be a companion for the Financial Peace University class, which I highly recommend everyone take. There is a whole plan in this book for getting yourself out of debt, for saving for retirement and college, and even paying off your home early. At the end of the book, Mr. Ramsey talks about the importance of giving and when I think about all the cool things I could do with my money once I'm debt free (like giving to the local no-kill shelter or the local food bank), I feel excited. Some of the stuff in this book will make you feel guilty (or maybe incredibly naive), but if you're looking at reviews for this book, you probably know which financial areas in your life need improvement, so don't let any of those feelings stand in the way of financial peace. Good luck!
Dave is problematic in many ways. But I wanted to listen to his plan in detail.
