Publisher's summary

America has become the land of the free and the home of the broke.

Household debt is at an all-time high, and every day people—just like you—are feeling more cynical and hopeless about their financial futures. It’s time to stop believing countless lies from a system designed to take your money—lies like student loans are the golden ticket to a good-paying job, car payments are just part of life, and that you need to have a credit card.

Ramsey Personality and personal finance expert George Kamel shares his story of going from a negative net worth to a millionaire in under 10 years by following Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps. George’s delivery, highlighted by his snarky sense of humor, will keep you laughing and engaged from cover to cover (no put-you-to-sleep financial advice here). Through a millennial point of view, George exposes the toxic money system designed to keep you average (and broke) and offers solutions to help you break free from:

  • Credit cards and credit scores
  • Student and car loans
  • Mortgage mistakes
  • Investing traps
  • Marketing and consumerism

No matter where you’re starting from, you’ll learn that you have the power to buck the toxic money system and build wealth if you follow the same principles George used to become a millionaire.

OUTSTANDING!!

Prepare yourself for an immediate rush of tools that you can implement right away! Breaking Free from Broke (BFFB) is relevant for any person’s financial situation. George Kamel brings inspiring BFFB storylines that will motivate you to take action. I LOVED listening to the book on audio. I am busy working multi-tasking Mom and I listened while doing laundry, making meals and doing the dishes! I got through the audio in a week, and I even listened to a few chapters twice. George knows how to deliver a BFFB message on queue! George is a master at snarky truth and lays it all out while keeping the listener’s attention!!
Here’s a quick tip, if you downloaded the BFFB on Audible before 1/15/2024 there’s a small segment in Chapter 10-Budgeting where there is a slight dual audio glitch. Good news is Audible uploaded a newer version of BFFB on 1/15/2024 that fixed the problem and removed the glitch. George and his team were awesome when I reached out to ask them about it. They gave me the fastest response to remedy the glitch. I closed out the app and reloaded the BFFB and presto it was all smooth and clear! Put this audio book on your “must listen to list” immediately! May financial success follow you every step of the way!!

fun extension of the podcast

def worth a listen of you like George on the Ramsey show. I liked the sound design and while most of what was covered was a repacking of the baby steps... I still learned something.

I honestly felt good buying the book since the podcast has provided so much to me for free already

Thanks George

My wife and I have been following the Ramsey Baby Steps and your content for a while now. This book was a great overview of the plan to go from broke, to outrageously generous, and hearing it in your own voice was the icing on the cake!
