Critic Reviews

"The strength of this book is that it is a straightforward motivational tool. He provides the brutally direct truth about the hard work it takes to become free of debt, and his directness is a great part of the book's charm." (Publishers Weekly)

Funniest Finance book ever!

I hesitated to purchase this book based on other reviews. I found it hilarious, on the other side of the world Dave made me laugh so much he knows my financial disastrous life so well. He has thrown me a life line so I can stop drowning myself in debt. For the first time in my life I have hope instead of shame, a light and path to follow and know that I am not the only one. Thank you Dave for caring enough for me and all the other people who have been deceived into slavery to debt. This is the starting point and in a few years I will scream "I'm debt free!" so loud it will wake the possums sleeping in the roof of house. Thank you Dave.

Easy listening

I enjoy the way that Dave Ramsey explains the process of wealth creation. He has a way of giving hope when some may feel hopeless. I found the ebook easy to listen to, and well articulated.
