“Financial Peace” by Dave Ramsey- Book Review

“Financial Peace” by Dave Ramsey! If you have read “The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness” by Dave Ramsey and want a more in depth plan for your family, read his book “Financial Peace Revisited“.  This is truly a perfect name for this book.  In it, Dave Ramsey goes into more detail about many of the subjects covered in “Total Money Makeover,” plus he adds extras like; insurance, being single/ married, buying a car or house, teaching your children good money habits, and much more.

Dave Ramsey has curriculum that is being taught in our local public school and in public and home schools everywhere.  My oldest son, Jacob, recently took a class at his High School, called “Money, Money, Money,” featuring Dave Ramsey’s curriculum.  The class taught the material from Dave’s book “Financial Peace Revisited.”  He loved it!  Jacob said he learned a lot of useful information he can use now and as an adult.  I highly recommend this course for all High School Students wanting to get a head start in life.  I wish they would have offered this when I was in High School.

Dave’s Motto: “Live Like No One Else, Later You Can Live Like No One Else.”  He truly covers all the bases on how to do just that in his books.

My husband and I are well on our way to having “Financial Peace ,” even in today’s tough economy.  We currently have no consumer debt, an emergency fund in place, a retirement plan, a college fund for all 6 of our children,  and we are on our way to paying off our mortgage.

This is a great book for anyone who wants to improve their financial situation.

I also highly recommend this book for young people just starting their life’s journey.  “Financial Peace Revisited” will help them get off to the right start.  It makes a great graduation gift.

Dave also has a companion planner for this book called “The Financial Peace Planner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Restoring Your Family’s Financial Health.”
