Financial Peace Revisited: New Chapters on Marriage, Singles, Kids and Families by Dave Ramsey
informative

Wow. I’m not sure why people are still recommending this book when it’s so incredibly outdated…
There’s a whole section explaining this new technology - the debit card. 🙄 He talks at length about buying groceries via check…
Then there’s the whole point that this was the “revisited version” with new chapters on marriage and singles… So my guess is Dave got some flack on the first go around with the many incredibly sexist things he says in this book. So to try and counter that they bring in his wife at the end of several chapters to add her input. And she laughs it off “hahaa, you know we women are all superficial and love spending money.” (That’s a paraphrase that I’m sure is influenced by my views and not a direct quote from the book.)
The following actually IS a direct quote… “Many men are really frustrated with wives who are spoiled little girls who just want their stuff and they want it now red-faced and lips in pouting position.” Honestly surprised I finished reading after that… 😳
The only chapter worth listening to is chapter 21 “Baby Steps” in which he FINALLY just gives you his recommendations for steps to get out of debt and settle finances.
And don’t get me started on how this is marketed as a financial book but is really 75% about religion and misogyny. He believes women are just here to make babies. He even recommends tithing to churches regardless of how much debt you’re in… 🙄
