 Excellent for readers in financial recovery May 1, 2002

I was immediately drawn to the author because he made no bones about his past -- he had filed for bankruptcy. Most financial help books are written by experts who have always handled money well, and have no idea how to struggle with overwhelming debt, or what bankruptcy is actually like. As a single mom who filed for bankruptcy right along with the divorce, I DO know what it's like, and appreciated Mr. Ramsey's nonjudgmental attitude. And as a Christian, I appreciated his faith-based approach. Within this framework I found his advice practical, basic and detailed, just what I needed for getting back on my feet. I highly recommend it.

Despite what one reviewer has written, this book is invaluable for anyone who makes and/or manages money. My family didn't start it because we had real debt problems but more to figure out how to get more out of what we make. We now have a successful budget and firm, clear plans on emergency, retirement, and college fund planning. I cannot recommend this plan more highly. The faith-based approach and thorough use of examples has been uplifting and encouraging and previous knowledge of Dave's other books or his radio show, while informative, is not necessary.

This book will be very beneficial to you if you are in dire financial straits and need some guidance in what to do. If in the other hand, you do not have collection agencies calling at all ours of the day, most of the chapters may not help you. Overall, picked up a few tips on better managing the finances, but would only recommend as a "must read" for those overwhelmed with monetary problems. Otherwise, there are more in-depth books that cover the same topics.

I bought this book last year after stumbling across Dave's excellent radio show; I try to listen whenever I can. Reading the other people's reviews could lead one to think this book is only for those recovering from or in a debt crisis. Au contraire! Buy, read, re-read, and PRACTICE the recommendations in this book BEFORE you get into debt, stay out of debt forever, and get piles of cash. Doing this will add immeasurable peace to your life.This book is a straight-talking, no B.S., easy-to-read gem about realistic personal finances. Everyone but the extremely rich should read it.
