Review:
This is a book about gaining control of your finances at any age. It gives you a series of what Dave calls baby steps to help you get back on track with controlling your money and not having it control you. Anyone with a debt (i.e. house, credit card, car payment, student loan) who wants to be debt free but isn't sure where to start can benefit from reading this book.
It's not a magic book. It does not tell you what stock is going to gain you a fortune. It will not make your debt disappear in a week. What it will do is give you guidance and realistic goals for getting yourself out of a bad situation. It sheds light on all of the money myths we have been sold over the years. It will cause you to rethink using that credit card to pay for your gas because you might need the twenty in your pocket for something later.
The baby steps are easy to understand and it is clear the work will be hard. We knew before reading this book that we were looking for a way to gain control of our finances. We knew it would take a long time to undo the damage we had created with our credit cards. We needed someone to tell us where to start and that is what this book did for us.
It also clearly states throughout the book that you are the one who can make a difference in your financial life and that if you follow the baby steps you will be able to do this in a positive way.
This book is a life-changer. We had another copy of this book & let others borrow it. The last time we gave it to someone, it never made its way back to us, so we bought this updated version. It's a quick read, but the methodology & lessons are a BIG DEAL. We've been following the program for years and it's been the best thing we could have done for our family. We're soon-to-be debt free & can't say enough good things about this program. We've attended FPU and read this book over & over for reference. There is helpful info for any stage of life - just starting out, establishing a household, and estate planning. Simple, no-nonsense money management that should be taught to everyone at a young age... what a concept! Our family tree is changed because of this book.
