I am a Dave Ramsey fan, and love his book – Total Money Makeover – I think it is one of the most helpful financial books I have ever read. I have not attended his Financial Peace University, but have watched some of the DVD footage from the course. From the little bit I saw it really looked great and from those who I have talked to about Financial Peace University it sounds like a wonderful program. According to the website, “The average family pays off $5,300 in debt and saves $2,700 in the... Read Full Story
Dave Ramsey Town Hall
I attended Dave’s Town Hall meeting last night and thought he did a great job. In his typical fashion, he was funny, encouraging, inspiring, and motivating.
He covered quite a few topics over the course of the two-hour session, but it seemed the primary message he was trying to get out was that freaking out is not necessary. He explained that things aren’t good right now, but not as bad as the media is making it seem. He argued that the current recession is no... Read Full Story

Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover
I just gave away a copy of the Total Money Makeover as part of my 10 Day Give . I really love the book, and highly recommend it for anyone trying to work their way out of debt. While there are plenty of Dave Ramsey critics , none of them can deny the wild success that he has had. I think his success can be attributed to the fact that he has created a system that works for a lot of people.
Here is a review I found on Amazon about this book... Read Full Story

Last August, I quit my job and went back to school. Long story short, the school didn’t work out and I was unemployed until February of this year. Hence, we have a lot of debt. While I was off, I spent a lot of time researching ways to save and so on, and taxes came up pretty big. It all started when we got our tax refund last year and it was over $8,000! Now, that was a nice payday, but I would have probably much preferred to have access to that through the previous year when I was... Read Full Story
