Financial Peace Revisited: New Chapters on Marriage, Singles, Kids and Families
About the Book
Dave Ramsey's New York Times best-selling guide to better living through financial security, now completely revised and updated.
Dave Ramsey knows what it's like to have it all. By age 26, he had established a four-million-dollar real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and, through his workshops and his New York Times business best sellers Financial Peace and More than Enough, he has helped hundreds of thousands of people to understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right-financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
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.

About the Reviews
I like Dave Ramsey's message and approach. As a CPA and attorney with 20 years experience, I will attest to the solid no-nonsense approach Ramsey uses, as well as the fact that - like Dave - some of us think we are too smart for this stuff and we end up getting our gooses cooked. (Borrowed to buy a business, and it eventually didn't go as planned)
Follow the advice and you will end up in a good spot. Yes - the first decade will be a slog - but you need to live like no one else so that you can LIVE like no one else. And once you get to that point - stick to the formula that got you there. The book itself is a bit more of a motivational book, and less of a "how to" nuts and bolts. Look at Total Money Makeover for the nuts and bolts. A good read.
*********************************
Great book...after reading a borrowed copy..I decided to purchase a copy for a new friend that is young and seeking wisdom/understanding in money management. A simple way to decrease your stress level is knowing how you spend your money and where opportunities exist to get ahead. Not rocket science, just common sense and a little discipline in how you spend your hard earned cash...Read it..you'll benefit from it...Thank you.

Life-changing. I know that sounds dramatic, but it really is. And I love that the logic and his instruction are easily enough to follow. (Though it does take discipline, but so do all good things.) I had been working with a financial planner for years before reading this, and it was really neat to find that they agreed across the board. I am so thankful to have this guidance for my family's future!
