Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide To Money – Dave Ramsey

Dave Ramsey is one of America’s best-known personal finance personalities, known for his radio show and his no-nonsense approach to getting out of debt and building wealth. Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money serves as the handbook for Financial Peace University, his popular course on personal finance.

The book covers the full range of personal finance topics in practical, easy-to-follow language. Ramsey explains his famous Baby Steps, a step-by-step plan that begins with saving a small emergency fund and paying off all debt except the mortgage using the debt snowball method, in which debts are paid from smallest to largest. The plan then moves on to building a full emergency fund, investing for retirement, saving for children’s college education, paying off the home early and building wealth and giving generously.

Along the way, Ramsey discusses budgeting, saving, avoiding consumer debt and credit cards, insurance, buying a home, real estate, investing, retirement planning, understanding consumer marketing and handling money in relationships. He also explores the emotional and behavioral side of money, arguing that personal finance is mostly about behavior rather than knowledge.

Written in Ramsey’s direct and motivational style, with charts, examples and stories from people who have followed his plan, the book is designed to inspire action.

Practical and encouraging, Dave Ramsey’s Complete Guide to Money is a popular resource for anyone who wants to take control of their finances. Its advice reflects the author’s views and US financial context, and readers should consider their own circumstances and seek professional advice where needed.
