I am a Dave Ramsey fan, and love his book – Total Money Makeover – I think it is one of the most helpful financial books I have ever read. Linda and I recently started his Financial Peace University class at a local church and we both have loved it. I knew I would like it, but since I am a bit more of the nerd who gets a kick out of this stuff I wasn’t so sure that she would like it. But Dave does a great job of making a dry subject very entertaining and inspiring.
Just being a few weeks into the class, I can already tell how life-changing it is and can be for those who simply do what he is teaching. In our case Linda and I really are very much on the same page financially, but the class is inspiring her and bringing us into even more unity on this notoriously sticky subject. Needless to say, I highly recommend the course.
and all the other classroom materials
a lot cheaper at Amazon.Linda has been reviewing it so far…

Bob-
The first step is the hardest…..by utilizing this Dave Ramsey package, I believe that I can/will put two feet forward. I am subscribed to your blog thru my Google reader. Thanks for your generosity.

I enjoy reading your blog. I have you on my blogroll at http://www.livingrichlyonabudget.com/.
I read and am re-reading The Total Money Makeover and it has opened my eyes to some unwise spending practices and monetary decisions. I have systematically begin paying down/off credit cards and slowly but surely moving towards using cash only and saving for big purchases. I would love to be totally debt-free.
I read your articles all the time. Thanks for the Dave Ramsey give away.
Dave Ramsey is probably the only one (besides God, of course) who can show me how to have financial peace. I receive $500/mo child support and have to support myself and two children on that amount. Thankfully I don’t have housing costs, but I do have about $3,000 in debt that has been an insurmountable amount for me to get rid of because I can barely meet our basic needs. I’m unemployed, but don’t qualify for unemployment benefits. I sure could use some help here (and thanks for letting me vent!)…
I have added your link at my store, The Bitty Baby Shop: http://bittybabyshop.com/store/index.php?main_page=page&id=6
