If you're tired of the lies and sick of the false promises, Dave is here to provide practical, long-term help. The Total Money Makeover is the simplest, most straightforward game plan for completely changing your finances. And, best of all, these principles are based on results, not pie-in-the-sky fantasies. This is the financial reset you've been looking for.

  • Recognize the 10 most dangerous money myths
  • Secure a healthy nest egg for emergencies and set yourself up for retirement
  • Become financially healthy for life

Absolute love!!!

I’ve dug myself into into debt and made so many excuses on why I was there. This learning of this book is amazing! I’ve taken these tools and implied them and have seen results instantly. The work is hard and sacrifices HAVE to be made but the outcome is so worth it. What I love more is that he didn’t have to share any of this but he did. He’s a blessing. Even if you are financially well off STILL listen or read the book.
