Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Ramsey (Financial Peace) is a financial consultant who has a no-baloney approach to family finances. Narrating with intensity, confidence, and humor, he bases his presentation on strong moral and religious values. His focus is on the attitudes that bring financial stability and progress, not on specific techniques of making money. By saving $2400 a year from age 22 on, through compounding, one would have well over $2 million by age 70. These are interesting motivational tapes. Recommended.AMark Guyer, Stark Cty. Dist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing! May 14, 2003

By Robert Burns

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is life changing. For people with financial wisdom it may be yeah, I know that. But for those of us that missed the lessons not taught on financial management in school or by our parents this book is wonderful. It is an outstanding gift for new college graduates and newlyweds. I love it and have already given it as a gift a half dozen times within a month of completing the book. It helps couples talk about their disconnects on managing the household income in a self mocking way. It also helps eliminate some of the stress around money when you truly recognize it's purpose.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel to Financial Peace or total money make over May 19, 2006

By Steve Burns TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This is financial step 2(If you have read either of Dave's other books):This will continue your journey.I have been listening to Dave Ramsey since he started in Nashville in 1993. His common sense information is why I have a 6 figure 401K, and have had financial peace over the past 13 years. He taught me what my parents should have about personal finance. I have only made 4 car payments in 8 years(I have the cash to pay it off whenever I choose)and have had alomost zero credit card debt in 8 years.(A divorce set me back for 5 months).When I started listening to him I was BROKE.This is a great beginners book in personal finance,it can show you the way out of debt.I Would recommend strongly reading this mans books and listening to him on the radio if you want:
1) To be completely debt free.
2) Have peace of mind.
3) Have the freeedom to quit your job if you want to.
4) Have a large checking and savings account.
5) Retire young

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good reading December 3, 2003

By John Martin

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I've read Dave Ramsey's other books and I think this book is worth reeading even if you've already read the others. This one I felt focused a little more on the foundations of character, values, patience, and discipline. It contains the best description of 'diligence' I've ever seen.

Highly recommended for those interested in taking a hard look at not just their debt to income ratio, but also a hard look at themselves and their values.
