The Total Money Makeover (Abridged): A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness Audiobook

" I very much enjoyed David Ramsey’s book. It has a lot of good things to say. The structure is excellent. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is having any financial difficulties "

" I have recently finished this book and immediately began applying its principles where I can. While I have read a good amount of books on the "financial makeover" this book in particular just seemed so real and the principles just stuck with me. Dave Ramsey gives you advice that seems so obvious yet a majority of people have no clue how to apply any of them. He offers simple yet extremely satisfying tactics on how to free yourself from debt and become financially free, and I am very grateful I read this book. "

" This book is crazy and when you do the math it all makes sense... This may change my life. "

" This book is a "well, duh" moment. DR is going to push my comfort level a bit, but I know we will be better for it in the end. Here we go! "

" Way too much of this book is spent selling this "makeover" and too little spent explaining what to do. And what is explained is not that original or helpful, in my mind, for those in most need of getting their financial affairs in order. There are a few helpful charts and figures though. "

" Eye opening, in your face advice for money management. Recommend it to everyone. "

" Dave Ramsey has a good philosophy of money - if you have it, you can spend it. If you don't have it, you probably shouldn't spend it. His rules for saving money are easy to understand, grounded in logic (and for those who are interested, Christian scriptures), and simple to follow. Notice, I did not say easy to follow because for many, major life spending habits are about to change. However, by following his plan, I have been let go from a job and I am not freaking out about it because I have a 3-6 months savings account that I can rely on while I work my tail off to get a new (and better) job. For anyone who is looking to make some financial changes in their life, I encourage you to read this book. It's engaging and smart. "

" The best personal finance book I've ever read. "

" I was hesitate to read this book especially from Dave Ramsey. He was very black and white about personal finance and it made sense to me. I have apply most of the principles and still continue to master the rest. I would recommend this book. It's an easy read and I finished it in a few days. "

" Completely changed the way I look at my finances and debt! Excellent read and provides some very interesting points on finance. A simple, hard working approach to eliminating debt and getting control of your finances. "

" I guess I should wait to tell you what I think until we're done with it. Here goes nothing... "

" Liked it and can see some really good ideas on it. Sitting on the fence about how serious I would be about strictly following it. But I think I have already done a lot of it, just not as intense or in the same order. "
