Book Review: Financial Peace Revisited
This is the updated and expand version of the Dave Ramsey’s original book about how to overcome debt and manage your own personal finances. Current book extends to new chapters like relationship between money matters and family matters.
When it comes to solving money problems, Dave Ramsey knows what he is talk about. He filed bankruptcy when he was 30 which he lost his whole entire real estate fortune. This straightforward guide to fiscal tranquility covers the basics of career (work hard in a job you’re good at), savings (sock away 10% of your take-home pay), investments (invest long-term with pretax dollars) and spending (live below your income).
The new chapters offer financial advice for singles, spouses and parents-agreeing on money matters, Ramsey says, leads to “fabulous unity” in a marriage.
In this new edition of Financial Peace, Ramsey has updated his tactics and philosophy to show even more readers:
* how to get out of debt and stay out
* the KISS rule of investing-”Keep It Simple, Stupid”
* how to use the principle of contentment to guide financial decision making
* how the flow of money can revolutionize relationships
With practical and easy to follow methods and personal anecdotes, Financial Peace is the road map to personal control, financial security, a new, vital family dynamic, and lifetime peace.
A reader’s testimonial – Tom Carpenter (Marysville, OH)
I’ve read at least two dozen books on money management and wealth creation, including the Rich Dad series (which is also great by the way), and I have to place this book in the number one spot. I’ve purchased copies for many friends and family members and continually recommend it to people in my seminars. I really believe it can change your life… it did for me.
I was working hard and earning a great income of more than $100k per year, but I was also spending it all. Then changes came and I plunged down, suddenly, to less than $35k per year. For some people that’s a lot of money, but imagine you’ve been earning $35k per year and suddenly it fell to $15-18k – that’s about what I felt like emotionally. Then I cam across Dave’s materials and my life was literally unlocked.
I learned that I needed to manage my money to manage the rest of my life. I discovered that stress can disappear – even in the modern world – when you’ve taken care of your primary needs first and provided a security blanket for the future.
Today, I have a bank account that will keep me going for about a year even if my funds were completely cut of and, borrowing from another excellent book, I have multiple streams of income.
Since reading Dave’s book, I’ve read the entire Rich Dad series, the Multiple Streams of Income and Multiple Streams of Internet Income books and many others on finances. They’ve all added to my life, but this book is the one that started my journey and gave me the needed principles to evaluate opportunities and options that come my way.
