I've always been interested in my finances and my husband and I jointly manage our family's finances so we both know what's going on. A friend at church was talking about Dave Ramsey and I had never heard of him before so I decided to look him up and see what kinds of books he wrote. I found this book to be a popular choice of his and I didn't know how much of it would interest me so I ended up borrowing it from the library initially. I enjoyed his writing and found the information to be helpful so I decided to purchase my own copy to reference at home.The Total Money Makeover is a personal finance book written by Dave Ramsey. Ramsey is a financial expert as well as a Christian who has had his own money troubles in the past. He's overcome them and learned from his mistakes so he's passed along his wisdom in these pages. There are also many stories of people who have been in a tough spot financially who used this book to get themselves out of debt. This book is 237 pages long, contains 13 chapters, worksheets and a full index.I found this book to be helpful and I really enjoyed reading it! Dave Ramsey writes in a no-nonsense fashion and if he says something is stupid or a bad idea, he will say exactly that. He doesn't beat around the bush. He provides step-by-step information on getting yourself out of debt and what to do if you have a crisis while you are working on getting yourself out of debt (he also refers to Murphy's Law quite a bit so something will always happen). I like how he tells us what types of companies, funds, etc to avoid and what ones are good ones. Even though he knows a lot about investments, he doesn't provide extensive investment information in this book but he does give some information on what types of funds he thinks are best based on trends.I enjoyed this book so much that I told my sister about it and she said she wanted to read it too so I bought one for her and one for myself. I've told others about the book and I think it is helpful, no matter what your financial situation is. Some parts of the book didn't apply to us but I found the second half of it to be especially informative which is why I decided to buy a copy. Unless you already have millions of dollars in the bank and have all of your finances under control (retirement, investments, kids' college education, etc.), I think you'll find the information in this book to be useful.If you have a lot of credit card debt and loans and want to get your finances under control, I highly recommend this book. Even if you don't have a lot of debt but you want to find a smarter way prepare for your kids' college education, this is a great book to read. It's very informative and you can also borrow a copy from a friend or the library first before you buy your own. I'm glad I bought it because the small investment in this book has caused us to take a closer look at our finances and see what we can do better. Overall, I feel it's worth the money and time to buy and read this book so you have a financially-fit future!

Many friends and co-workers think I got "lucky" and come to be asking for advice on money.When I tell them that I wasn't an overnight success but instead just followed a simple 7-step plan to get where I am, they become very interested in the idea, so I give or lend them a copy of this book.Almost all of them don't make it past reading step #2. They don't believe it can be done despite me (and a few others) telling them it worked for me over the past decade. Most say that they don't want to give up some short-term lifestyle changes to be comfortable in the future. I just don't understand it!

The book is quite good and well outlined. I especially like the real life examples and simple steps Dave recommends to get your finances in order. It's designed for every age and walk of life. My only complaint is that I have heard most of this material already on his podcast. I was expecting more in depth material than the podcast, but its essentially the same. I still love how fast Amazon ships a book out, can't beat the convenience.

This book seems like it really helped my partner and I to better understand our finances and attempt to be financially free within a few years. After reading his book, becoming a millionaire is actually doable and his goals are realistic. Great insight even if you enjoy reading about other method!

Ça fait moment que je suis Dave Ramsey et je suis convaincue par sa méthode, je cherchais son livre en édition physique. Il est arrivé avant la date prévue et en très bonne état pour jn livre d’occasion, on dirait un livre neuf. Vendeur très sérieux, je recommande.

Just loved it, so simple to understand the story given there is so inspiring and valuable. Deep Respect for the Author 🙏🏻

Been following Dave Ramsey on Tiktok and have learned a lot from him. Purchased his book and it did not disappoint.

Dave Ramsey kenne ich schon länger vom Podcast. Hat mit einer Radiokarriere angefangen und sich als Schuldnerberater der USA bekanntgemacht. Da er selbst als Immobilienmillionär alles verloren hatte und wieder von Null anfangen musste, kann er gut zu dem Thema etwas sagen. Das Buch gibt es leider nur in Englisch aber es zeigt übersichtlich dar, wie man seine Finanzen in den Griff bekommt und Vermögen aufbaut. Es gibt diese sogenannten 7 Babysteps. Erst Schulden abbezahlen und dann nach und nach weiter aufbauen. Es ist für amerikanische Verhältnisse geschrieben (vor allem was Rente etc. betrifft) für uns Deutsche nur bedingt geeignet, da wir ein anderes Sozialsystem haben. Aber trotzdem kann das Buch hilfreich sein, wenn man seine Finanzen ordnen und in den Griff bekommen möchte.
