Summary: My favorite personal finance book
Review: The original edition of this book was the first book I read on personal finance and I still think it's the best one out there. Dave's personal story of how he lived the "rich lifestyle" and then lost it all really speaks to the myth of "having it all". He makes the point that we don't have to "have it all" (or "own it all") to be happy. That said, he offers a very solid and straight-forward plan on how to break out of the debt cycle and save for the future. The book includes a number of ways to change your thinking and your habits to make you more financially secure. Since reading this book, I have put many of his ideas into practice. There is nothing that has added to my personal happiness and security more than knowing I have an emergency fund to cover expenses if something unexpected happens. I am also almost debt-free and have money saved for retirement. I have recommended this book to others and have even bought a copy (I originally read this at the library) just so I can read it again and lend it to friends. Everyone needs to read this book!

Summary: Excellent and highly recommended!
Review: This book has revolutionized how I view my finances! As a recent college graduate, the practical advice was tremendous. Even though I was good at managing my money and did not have much school debt or any credit card debt, my money (or lack of) was controlling me, not the other way around. The suggestions in this book are easily implemented and followed. I plan on purchasing a copy of this book for my brother when he graduates from college.

Summary: Wow, what a breath of fresh air!
Review: This is "common sense" for your "dollar and cents" as Dave says on his radio program. Dave Ramsey has the ability to explain personal finance in a way that the average person can understand. This is "Personal Finance 101" but it isn't simplistic, but it is simple. Very good book for getting started especially. The Dave Ramsey web site also has lot's of more information useful to people who want to beat debt and buidl wealth the Dave Ramsey way ([website]). Highly recommended!

Review: This is a great book. I only wish I'd found it years ago. This is one of the books that I'll be giving as Christmas presents to those I care most about. The chapters on handling money in marriage are especially insightful.
