Dave Ramsey’s “The Total Money Makeover” is a book that MFF’s Growth Strategist Steve and Director of Marketing & Outreach Tori each love! In seven (7) “baby steps”, this easy-to-read book (with an optional accompanying workbook) walks readers through Ramsey’s tried-and-true, practical process to get out of personal debt and onto the path of financial independence.
Steve says, “Dave Ramsey’s personal story of losing it all to bad decisions with debt led him to write this book. Concepts of the emergency fund, the snowball debt paydown method, being disciplined with money decisions, and telling every dollar where to go with a monthly budget are outlined. Read about how to save for emergencies, pay off all your debt for good, and build wealth. Ramsey provides great examples and steps for being “gazelle-intense” about eliminating your personal debt.”
Tori adds, “Not only have I read this book numerous times, I am a fanatical listener to the “The Ramsey Show” podcast which reinforces the book’s concepts and the baby steps through real-life examples from callers. Every time I listen to a podcast, I learn something new.”
