    Life-changing

    Dave Ramsey's The Total Money Makeover is as life-changing as people say. I agreed to review this book and thought that I would read it, but that it wouldn't change the way I use my money. I thought that my husband and I had a pretty solid budget before reading this book. We [both currently PhD students] do not have a whole lot of wiggle room when it comes to finances. We eagerly awaited payday, but we made it every month without too many sacrifices. I thought we were fine. Boy, was I wrong.

    When I read Dave's book, we suddenly were able to pay triple the amount to our monthly credit card bills; we started making a plan to pay off my student loans while in graduate school; we even started *saving* money (gasp!). WHAT HAPPENED? All of it came down to a change in perspective. Dave makes you see where your money is currently going and understand where it should be going. We had a huge change in perspective when we started understanding how much money we were wasting on things we didn't even need! This book has been life-changing... literally.

    I never read the original edition, but I'm told that the difference from the latest addition is the stories from people who have followed Dave's plan and now have financial freedom. I really enjoyed reading these stories and find encouragement in the fact that other people have done this, too, and experienced success. Following Dave's plan does "limit" your spending, in a sense, but does so in a way that helps you out financially in the long run. I definitely recommend getting your hands on a copy ASAP.

    Is your "owe" starting to show? Shrink your waste line, bulk up your bank balance, and get into financial shape with money expert and radio host Ramsey's comprehensive---and simple---plan for debt-free living. You'll be fiscally fit in no time! This revised edition of the bestseller features all-new "Dave Rants" and forms; and updated statistics.

    I like the advice that Dave gives to eliminate debt. It's actually following through that is difficult. This method has worked for many people and he has some great advice. Sometimes he can come off a little harsh but it's good advice. I would recommend this book to others.

    I find that the content is not concise with a lot of bends here and there. Not quite as I have expected. I was expecting many good tips but did not find many. The tips are more applicable in America.

    All the information in this book is on YouTube videos. Don't waste your money, pay a bill with it. For someone who climbed back up from nothing he sure doesn't have very much to share. i have done 10 budgets and his plan still doesn't work for me. My income fluctuates as much as the price of eggs, he shares no answers for these situations, and no i can't even start an emergency fund because prices keep going up. i need real life answers not baby step answers. He shouldn't call himself an expert if he doesn't have answers for all situations.
