Financial Peace Revisited

I have listened to daves other book - the total money makeover more than 40 times. I bought this book thinking it might add some additional insights, but was disappointed. The difference between the two is that in the total money makeover, dave has a very succinct programme for us listeners to follow. In financial peace, it is more of a rambling journey interspersed with religious references. Clearly dave has developed his programme over time and it shows through in the total money makeover. the other reason to recommend total money makeover, over financial peace is that dave narrates his later book. In this book it is someone else who does not portray the same passion and motivation that dave brings to total money makeover. I listen to daves book every month and despite being a brit, living in britain, the key messages are just as applicable. I am working my way out of debt using caves programme. I strongly recommend any listener to look at total money makeover rather than this book as you will be better motivated, have a clear structured programme and be more likley to get out of debt and become wealthy.

This edition of the Financial Peace book covers the basic principals of budgeting and cash management including establishing a workable monthly budget, the Envelope System, getting debt-free, and strategies for developing an emergency fund and long-term savings.

Dave and Sharon both share their experiences in having it all, the embarrassment and shame of losing it all, and rebuilding their financial lives step-by-step. The book is a helpful and pleasant read. I could hear Dave's "voice" in the words. If you're interested in the topic of personal finance, this is one of the books you should read. It's the kind of advice you'd get from your parents or a trusted aunt/uncle, the voice of experience.

I enjoy the "realness" of Dave and Sharon Ramsey. They share their successes, failures, and what has been learned along the way.

This is another great book by Ramsey. He is the best author on financial subjects that I have found.

Easy to understand and very educational.

Dave Ramsey

yes, but perhaps more current

Revisited should have been closer to the mark.

nothing

be more current;

I liked the book and the information but it was hard to follow in audio format.

This is a great book if you did not listen to "The Total Money Makeover". I thought this book was just the same information in that book in a slightly different format. It is not really updated for current times. For instance, it still talks about 18% interest in a good mutual fund.

Nick did a great job, but he did such a good job of sounding like Dave that it was a little eerie.

Yes, and the numbers in there need to be updated for post 2009.

One of the best so far.

Gaining a sense of control over my finances by understanding what I've been doing wrong for so many years.

When he talked about how he teaches his children about money management.

Yes but it's very long so I listened to it in 4 sittings.

Everyone needs this book.
