5.0 out of 5 stars Approachable and throrough financial planning
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2007

Dave Ramsey speaks from experience. He is incredibly black and white, and full of faith. I actually did some of the things he recommended in the past when I was younger and had debt, and not only did they work, they gave me an incredible sense of control.

This book is a very approachable method in reviewing and planning your finances. It is intended to be used by implementing a chapter a week, but if you have already accomplished the beginning items, you can move a bit faster...as long as you pay attention to the lessons you are skipping and are sure you understand them.

The characters he uses for illustration purposes are one dimensional, but readers can easily see themselves or those close to them in the characters.

The workbook is NOT BORING, NOT DRY, and easy to understand. It can be used in conjunction with the Financial Peace (or Financial Peace Revised) book, but works well on its own. After reading it, if you are understanding that materialism is good, but not to be worshipped, you can accumulate a good bit of wealth in a reasonable period of time.

The book is very motivating. Anyone can understand it, anyone can use it. You don't have to be broke, up to your eyeballs in debt or bankrupt to appreciate it. In fact, you'll have a leg up on those who are.

If you are looking for a way to plan you future, are facing a promotion and want to be wise with your money, or are just interested in a basic, non-threatening way to learn about home economics and investing, this is the book to read.

Comes with great forms to help you evaluate equity, learn about your household budget (he calls it a 'cashflow' plan), percentages of income should be dedicated to what expenses, etc.,etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginner finance book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
I bought this book expecting to find some new enlightening methods to help with my finances. It basically told me a bunch of things I've known from the beginning and are really what I thought to be common sense when it came to money. In the end I may have been looking in the wrong direction or for the wrong advice (maybe a book more about self control or something?). Otherwise this would be a great book for someone that is lost when it comes to running their financial part of life. Easy to follow and lays out a process step by step for goals. Not sure if I agree with the author in saying to avoid credit cards at all cost (kind of need them to build good credit).

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT START

I find, when I am in the middle of a mess, esp a financial one, it feels like I can see no light at the end of the tunnel, like this will go from bad to worse and end up in bankruptcy. Then someone as dynamic as Dave Ramsey writes a 'plan' to get out of this mess, and shares that he also has been there, has given me hope. Hope is a gift not many can give.
Now, I also have a plan. I would go to a store, or a mall, and see something that wasn't too expensive and think "I deserve that, I have been locked up in this financial mess for so long, I deserve to treat myself." WRONG. No, I do not. It was that kind of "comfort spending" that got me to where I am today. First plan-----don't go to the mall! Wow, what a profound idea! Instead, I look around and do something in my own home with what I have--move around the furniture around, find a can of left over pant and paint a wall---or a picture. Move on.
Thank you, Mr. Dave Ramsey, you have changed my life. You have also helped give me the courage to tell my adult children when they are right or wrong---ONCE---then move on. I did my part, they are adults & have to do the change themselves. Long note, sorry. Thanks again!

I am really enjoying this book. I am SO glad I got this book and not the newer version (Total Money Makeover). Sure some of the things are out of date (mutual funds have changed since the '90s for example, and things cost more), but the principles he teaches are sound and the same as the newer one. When the newer version arrived from the library, I was so annoyed reading it. I don't care about other people's situations and stories. Sorry I don't. Or his for that matter. This older version kept that kind of "filler" (because that is what it is) to a minimum. Read this one and save yourself some money. I also found that this version was easier to get from the library too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great map to financial freedom!

I've almost completed reading the books and have already implement Mr Ramsey's teachings into our budget. We'll continue to read and follow the program and see how well we do. My parents have been using these techniques WAY before these books came out. They are retired and financially set. Although they are seasoned at careful spending and paying themselves first (they told me so for years) I didn't grasp the concept until recently. I've enjoyed a high income for years but have been terrible at saving (or paying myself first as my folks would say). Hopefully these lessons will get me on the right path to saving more than I spend. Luckily I don't have huge debt (I own all if my vehicles and only have a small credit debt that I can pay off by september - my birthday).

Dave Ramsey is the best! If you follow the principles in this it will make a difference in your financial life and all of your life! This is just the planner. You really don't need this, but it is nice if you like having your stuff in book format. Get the accompanying books that explain Financial Peace. That's where the learning comes from.

De todas formas tiene ejercicios prácticos para abrirte los ojos acerca de cuánto dinero necesitas ahorrar en realidad que hacen que el libro valga la pena.
Aún así debo decir que lo compré en oferta flash, y en oferta desde luego vale la pena

How to write a review on a book? I am not a critic. Some people woul like it, some not. If you are looking at this book, because somebody recommended it for you, so buy it and decide by yourself if you like it. If you just going through the list of the books - and think that this title attracts you - buy it and read it! Books are good, they feed your brains, they improve your personality! Read more!
Good advice and you practice them - life can change
