By age twenty-six, he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age thirty. He has since rebuilt his financial life and, through his workshops and his New York Times business bestsellers Financial Peace and More than Enough, he has helped hundreds of thousands of people to understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right-financially, emotionally, and spiritually. In this new edition of Financial Peace, Ramsey has updated his tactics and philosophy to show even more readers: how to get out of debt and stay out the KISS rule of investing-"Keep It Simple, Stupid" how to use the principle of contentment to guide financial decision making how the flow of money can revolutionize relationships With practical and easy to follow methods and personal anecdotes, Financial Peace is the road map to personal control, financial security, a new, vital family dynamic, and lifetime peace. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Well intended, but for the most part misguidedRamsey offers some good thoughts, but the examples offered are at best questionable. First, I agree that debt is a burden when used incorrectly, but Ramsey seems to tag debt itself as an immoral product of lenders. Debt does not have a moral character; debt is a tool, much like a pick or shovel, when used correctly it has benefits, when incorrectly it can create problems. Ramsey offers this advice when buying a car without cash to purchase. Buy a '$5700' car to arrange for payments of $100, rather ... Read More Rating:  - This Book will Help you . . I have read 4 of Dave's books. I would rank this # 2 behind The Total Money Makeover or the Workbook version of the same title. The concepts are similar to the Total Money makeover but less examples of how to do things and how to put into practice versus The total Money makeover. On that basis, I would recommend reading the Total money makeover first, then this one for other insights. This book does still give you the groundwork of how to do it (get out of debt) and put into practice healthy habits ... Read More Rating:  - Required Reading! I checked this book out from my local library. It has changed my life and finances for the better. I am in far better financial shape now than when I was addicted to debt. I bought Dave's other book for my brother and I am now buying this one for my neice's wedding. I just wish that someone gave me this book 22 years ago when I got married! I approach is simple. Get out and stay out of debt using his baby steps. I recommend listening to his radio show to help reinforce the principles ... Read More Rating:  - Overall Financial Peace ViewThis book is a good first step towards Financial Peace. This book explains an overview of Dave's history, and how to find Financial Peace. Ramsey's next book "Total Money Makeover" explains in more detail HOW to find Financial Peace. This book is written as a high-level primer on how you'll proceed towards a debt-free life. It's not needed if you visit www.daveramsey.com or listen to Dave's radio show, but serves it's purpose. Rating: - Ames, your review is ridiculous...Ames, your review of Financial Peace is so full of jealousy and resentment it is truly sad. "When Dave Ramsey can live off of $24,000.00 a year, and have a family, then perhaps I can listen to him." He's actually had to live off less than that in the past and even went bankrupt before he got his act together. So he's walked in your shoes, didn't like how they fit, and decided to DO something about it. "However, I believe in putting my family first. That does not include getting two ... Read More |
