Dave Ramsey - the financial guru next door

Dave Ramsey is the well-known financial radio show host and frequent TV financial guru. Ramsey’s approach is an interesting one, in that his ideas are based more on real-world possibilities than on the ever –changing theories of financial academia. If you are looking for the foremost book on getting out of debt, look no further.

Ramsey has a knack for speaking to his reader through both motivational examples and through straight-forward, step-by-step instructions. If you have any doubt as to your abilities to stand on your own feet financially, I challenge you to give Ramsey a try. He should be the first stop in considering bankruptcy or consumer credit counseling and also fits in well with the higher earning or more eager investor. There is a place in any financial library for this guy!

Ramsey also speaks to the reader in a very down-to-earth, instructional way rather than in a “you should know this by now” sense. His tone does not make even the worst investor seem insignificant and peppers the book with continued motivators for moving forward past the particular roadblock being faced at any given time. All in all, I would suggest this book for anyone who needs a swift kick in the rear in the financial department and also for those who recognize that they don’t know everything there is to know from a financial standpoint and want to learn more. No one can go wrong with Ramsey.
