Summary: Life changing advice, easy to understand
Comment: This book and Dave Ramsey's radio show has changed our lives. It started with the radio show four years ago that motivated my husband and I to attack our debt (about $1k in credit card and $9k in student loan) and pay it off in 6 months. Then we sold our SUV that was costing us [money every] month so we're driving two older-model used cars. The only debt we have now is our home which we refinanced on a 15 year mortgage.
We cut up all our credit cards and pay cash for everything - even $20k for a inground pool.
We finally made a budget that works and using the envelope system have been able to stick to it. We have an emergency fund in the bank that would last us 6 months if we were both fired from our jobs.
Best of all our marriage is better. NO more money fights! By working Dave's baby steps and having a budget that we developed together my husband and I find we have a much better marriage.
We've since become coordinators for Dave's Financial Peace University through our church. Whether or not you believe in Dave's religious views, if you follow the baby steps outlined in this book, you will change your life.
We are investing for retirement, saving for our kids college and have a secure financial future.

Summary: Help for millions of people!!!
Comment: Having recently lived in Tennessee, I have had the opportunity to experience his radio talk show. His common sense approach to one of the biggest problems in the US, DEBT, is both compassionate and straight-forward. I have found the book to be a direct extension of what I heard on the radio for a time.
Is this book simple---YES, financial peace is a simple process. Unfortunately, we live in a country that tries to complicate it. What Dave tries to explain is that if you learn to spend less than you make, you will have financial peace.
Is this hard---Yes, old habits die hard, especially bad ones. The principles in this book WORK!!! But they require a level of self-discipline that few want to attain. Financial peace may mean giving up your new car for an old jalopy in order to reduce a $300/month car payment or moving to a smaller house to reduce cost of living.
What I find most important about this book is that Dave Ramsey focuses on the family aspect of debt and how it can and does tear families apart. He also shares his own experiences with bankruptcy and the personal humiliation associated with it. He has been there people---and he has survived!
If you are up to your eyeballs in debt as most Americans are, this book provides a solid, stable, no-nonsense starting point to learn the simple (yet elusive) principles to help you on your way. It does not take you into complicated business practices nor does it bore you with Wall Street jargon and talk of IPO's, mergers, takeovers... It is in no way intended for those content in their current state, but it is a must-read for the average-joe in mainstream America who dreams of reaching his full potential and a comfortable retirement.
BE DEBT FREE AND SHARE THE WEALTH!!!

Summary: SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL
Comment: This is a very simple and easy to read book about getting out of debt and becoming financially free. The steps are clear-cut and presice and I plan on using the techniques to become free of debt. But to me the most powerful thing about the book is how it changes your way of thinking about debt. I like everyone hates being in debt but for some reason we've come to think that it's neccesary. The whole nation is in debt and it's only getting worse. This book opens your eyes to the fact that debt destroys lives and causes a never ending cloud of depression over you.
I really don't think people realize this in their everyday lives. They buy and buy what they can't afford and wonder why they're not happy with their spouses, jobs, careers, lives. Bottom line ,,, Debt equals NO PEACE and this book proves it.
The only negative about this older version of the book is that it doesn't suggest what a person should do if they don't have the money to take the steps. The book is so powerful in influencing your mindset it seems strange that it leaves out the important fact that a person may have to get a part-time job or they may have to cut out a lot of luxuries in order to get debt free. This version also doesn't suggest how a couple should work out differences of opinions when it comes to credit.
Other than those two things this is a great read for everyone and a book I feel every freshman in college should get for free before they start receiving all of those pre-approved credit card statements..
