It’s not often that a book not only changes you, but changes your entire family tree. Those of you who read and follow Dave Ramsey are nodding your head. If you haven’t discovered Dave Ramsey yet, there is no better time than the present.
Dave’s books take you through every financial “step” of your life from saving money and getting out of debt to saving for college, saving for retirement, paying off your mortgage, and living like no one else. Whether you are struggling financially or have a fully funded savings account, I guarantee you can learn something.
My husband and I have always lived within our budget so I felt generally satisfied with the way we were handling our money. Last year I made a financial New Year’s resolution and in my quest to succeed, I discovered Dave. I set out to change our year, but instead I changed our lives. Last year was a huge eye opener. I learned so much about the way we see and handle money. Like so many of Dave’s followers, I wish I had discovered him years ago!
I’ll highlight each of his books for you, but the book I recommend the most is his “Total Money Makeover“.
