Dave Ramsey shares Biblical wisdom on the legacy we build with our wealth. What does the Bible really say about money? About wealth? How much does God expect you to give to others? How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? There’s a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealth - and the wealthy. Worse, there’s a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why?

Best Financial Management Book EVER!
I have searched for years for an easy to follow book that would help me get out of debt, manage my money better and help me to build long-term wealth and I have finally found it, thanks to God!
As a single parent, with debt up to my eyeballs and a business, I knew that things had to change if I didn't want my daughter to suffer finacially but I didn't know how to change it.
I have read Rich Dad Poor Dad and other property investment/financial advice books but there was always a catch of having to go to a 'paid' service to find out more or to start applying knowledge - this book is different!
I have spent the last 4 hours listening to the book and was able to start the process of the 7 step plan as I was listening. Hearing the story about another single parent and others who, like me, were in terrible financial positions and how they have been able to become debt free and start building wealth is exactly the motivation I needed to start taking ACTION.
All of the steps are easy to follow and while they require effort, have transformed how I view money and given me the order in which I should tackle my financial problems - which is something most other books lack.
I can see very clearly now where I should be focusing my efforts and why. Moreover, I now feel empowered to make better financial decisions and it has actually saved me from making another costly mistake to the tune of £18,000.
I'm now going to invest in the Financial Peace university, which at only $129 is the most affordable financial program I have ever come across.
I am so grateful to God for answering my prayers and for finally helping me to take accountability and responsibility for my financial mistakes. I'm ready to be wealthy! #poverty2prosperty here I come!

Very 'American' but brilliant advice
Although not totally in sync for a U.K. audience (different terminology, investments, etc) you can work around that.
The principals however are spot on, having an emergency fund has totally changed my thinking about money and the budgeting to zero each payday is brilliant, I now have money at the end of the week while still having the payments allocated in sinking funds instead of spending it if they didn't come out of my bank.
All in all, highly recommend, a great way to look at the way you deal with money.

Probably decent advice if you live in the US.
There is some decent advice in this book but the amount of time God is mentioned in an financial advice book is very strange. It's like reading a book on quantum physics and the author keeps mentioning the influence of fairies on physics. His focus on the long term financial planning is refreshing and it can't hurt to read but the book is very much for an American audience. As far as the performance goes; I did not appreciate the shouting or the overly emotional delivery.

Great advice
Very straight forward advice that anybody can follow and become wealthy get out of debt save for retirement etc.
The advice is very american-based which is obvious as he is from the US but it translates very easily to the UK so can still be followed.
I loved the baby steps, so easy to take on board and digest. I admit it would take most people a while to go through all the steps and reach the stage where u get to "live like no one else because u've lived like no one else"but the goal definitely seems worth it.
highly recommended.

This guy makes sense
I have business degrees from Wharton (BS) and Stanford (MBA), but like most Americans from middle class backgrounds, I never got much training in personal finance and always felt bewildered by it. I recently listed to The Total Money Makeover for the third time and it clicked. The first two times, I was still in school and had no income, so felt powerless to act on its lessons. Now, with a steady income (and some monstrous student loans) the lessons are relevant, actionable, and empowering.
Before, I always felt at a loss when it came to budgeting. After re-listening to The Total Money Makeover, I got a second savings account to hold my emergency fund and long-term savings, making it easier to separate between current accounts and short-term savings. Now, I have an Excel spreadsheet with a separate column for each upcoming pay check. I know how much of each paycheck will get immediately transferred into long-term savings (e.g. for a wedding in the fall), how much will go to short-term savings (e.g. for next month's rent), and how much disposable income I have in my current checking account.
Furthermore, I have a better plan for paying down my debts. If I were to approach this according to the pure net present value financial principles taught in school, I would start with my big student loan (highest interest rate), then my smaller student loan, then my car loan (lowest interest rate). After listening to Ramsey, I'm going to do it in the opposite order. Although that will cost me some in NPV, it means I can pay off my car loan in a few months (freeing up $250 per month in cash flow), and can pay off my smaller student loan in a few years. My larger student loan is the size and duration of a mortgage, and I'll treat it like it's one. If I tried to pay it off first, I wouldn't see any impact on my cash flow for probably 14 years, making it discouraging to try to find extra dollars to put towards paying down debt. Trying this the Ramsey way, I already feel like I'm making progress and am motivated to do more.
Dave Ramsey is an inspiring speaker. Although his message may come across as simple, in my opinion it does a far better job taking into account human nature than any of the sophisticated financial and economic models I spent so much money learning. I can't recommend this book enough.

Short and Easy Steps
Where does The Total Money Makeover rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I would give a B-. Gets to the point, gives good metaphors and easy to follow.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Total Money Makeover?
Metaphors used to describe steps or missteps are very memorable and applicable to most people.
What about Dave Ramsey’s performance did you like?
Voice and diction were probably best compared to what I have listened. Would expect good performance from professional speaker. Have heard some "funny" start/stops or paragraph breaks on other books. Probably start of new session or after break. Did not hear in Ramsey's performance, however this book is shorter than most. 3+ hours
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No crying, definitely a few laughs. Mostly found myself quoting excerpts to others.
Any additional comments?
Religious overtones and bible quotes throughout book. However quotes in nature of "Saving" money and neither borrowing or lending; giving money OK. People describe me as Agnostic and this did not bother me. All in all good book, great performance. Enjoy

Half the book
So listening to this he spends half the book selling you on the reason you bought the book. I was getting frustrated and that was only because I listen to this guy on the regular thought I would get the book and do my own money make over. But nope had to be sold on the book for almost 2 hours of a 3 hour book. My suggestion would be to just look up what his baby steps are and to not get this like I did. But you know what they say about hindsight.

The step by step process to financial stability.

Self development speech!
Listen, I wouldn't deny that Mr. Ramsey got a voice that will fire you up, move you, and make you want to jump on a rocket and fly to the moon. If you never read finance, studied finance, or haven't a clue on finance, then it is good to start with Dave Ramsey. I am your average business school graduate who agrees with Mr. Ramsey plan. If you are a finance savvy and need a more advance information regarding money and its use, then steer away and look for more advance books on finance and its affect on your life.

Nothing but OUTSTANDING!!
It has been less than a week sense my wife and I have listed to Dave's book and it has already changed our lives and how we look at our finances forever. Within these few days we have paid off almost $3,000 in debt with money that was "just laying around the house". We had no idea how good it would feel to break free from being a prisoner to some of that debt that we have been paying on for years. It is so liberating to finally take charge of our money and actually have a plan. We have listened and read many financial books in the past but NOTHING and I mean NOTHING has gotten us this excited. It has actually given us more hope than we have ever had about changing our financial future. My wife and I have even grown closer because we are working on our finances together as a team for the first time. Every day we get more and more fired up about "The Total Money Makeover". We will never look at money and debt the same way again. If you are reading this review trying to decide if you should buy this book, DO IT AND DON'T WAIT! This book is worth every penny and then some. If you are ready to take control of your life and ?live like no one else? get started right now.

Information available online
Total Money Makeover doesn't give any information that isn't already available on Ramsey's website. it just adds anecdotes about people succeeding with the method.

Brash? Yes. Honest? Absolutely.
Some people have remarked that they don't like the tone of this book. If the author seems a bit "brash", it's only because he's attempting to highlight the level of insanity with which most people approach personal finance. Take a look around you. The guy you work with who just bought a new Hummer. Your sisters' friend who just moved into a $800,000 home. They must be doing great, right? WRONG.
The truth is, they're most likely broke. They're high-income, low-net-worth people who are teetering on the edge of complete financial ruin. Rich people, don't do these things!! Well, that is unless they're really really rich.
This book will change the way you think about money. When I see the guy in the new Mercedes now, I think, "Man, that guy has nothing in the bank". This book will make you proud of your old jalopy. After all, it's better to ACTUALLY BE RICH.
Most Americans WISH for financial security and DO everything they can to make sure it NEVER happens. I think this is a level of insanity that warrants a brash tone.
If your ready to get real about your finances, this is the only book you need to read.

Very good, wish it was available unabridged.
This book is for those who realize that there is no "magic" in getting on top of finances. It is very practical in its approach. I'm done with the books, theories, and thinking that suggest that there are quick fixes to wealth. God, and much less, "the Universe" will not save you from your financial woes. Only hard work, serious budgeting, and self-control will.
