The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness [ABRIDGED] [AUDIOBOOK] (Audio CD)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The success stories speak for themselves in this audio book from money maestro Dave Ramsey. Instead of promising the normal dose of quick fixes, Ramsey offers a bold, no-nonsense approach to money matters, providing not only the how-to but also a grounded and uplifting hope for getting out of debt and achieving total financial health.

Ramsey debunks the many myths of money (exposing the dangers of cash advance, rent-to-own, debt consolidation) and attacks the illusions and downright deceptions of the American dream, which encourages nothing but overspending and massive amounts of debt. "Don't even consider keeping up with the Joneses," Ramsey declares in his typically candid style. "They're broke!"

The Total Money Makeover isn't theory. It works every single time. It works because it is simple. It works because it gets to the heart of the money problems: you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sure-fire way for couples to get on the "same page"!, November 25, 2007

By	Laura Padfield "Only the Best" (Columbus, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dave Ramsey presents a plan to get out of debt and build wealth in such a simple, logical (and entertaining) way that I can't imagine anyone forsaking his advice. My husband and I listened to his audio book while driving from Indiana to Tennessee this past weekend. From the moment the audio book ended we started planning with excitement how to reach our goals using TMMO. In fact, we would stop the CD to discuss then pick back up. We're finally both on the same page regarding our finances, which for many married couples is difficult to achieve. I believe listening to the audio book together was the best approach. If you read his book and get all fired up, then it may be frustrating while you wait for your spouse to read it -- IF they read it.

The only thing I found just a little annoying was his introduction. I'm sure his inflections were meant to translate into simple animation, but it came across as slightly immature to me. He works his way out of that, though. I also found myself wanting him to "get on with the meat of the plan already" instead of spending so much time in the intro. But be patient because the meat of it does come and it's prime!

5.0 out of 5 stars We already knew what we needed to do, but needed to hear it!, April 13, 2007

By	Pyneitha Rogers "Midwest Mommy" (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews

I just received Dave Ramsey's audio book The Total Money Makeover in the mail yesterday. My husband and I listened to all 3 DVD's over the course of one evening. Most of the principes Dave talks about we already knew, but just needed to hear it. My husband hasn't been a Dave Ramsey fan (he gets sick of hearing me say "You know Dave says...." so I wasn't sure if he would like it but he kept an open mind and I think he's slowly coming around. One of the big things for him was the debt snowball. He says its so logical, pay off the little stuff and get them out of the way to have those small victories. He used to think paying off the credit cards with the highest interest rates were what you should do first. This is really going to change our lives. I'm glad to have stumbled across it. I highly recommend.
