Wow Josh…really harsh words. Criminal? Based on what? What bad advice, lack of understanding etc? Dave’s plan was a Godsend for us and has turned our finances around completely. And helped reduce the money fights big time.

His advice works flat out. I do think his investment advice is not as strong but overall it is incredible advice.

For those saving pre-kers out there, we do need to start small. I also would be a little annoyed by the oohs and ahas at every simple idea, but there are those who spend the course sign up fee without any question because someone will help them to save money.
See where they are coming from?
$1,000 is huge to them, and it is such a small step.
People like you give hope to people like us that one day, we too will be able to take a refresher course and see how well off we really have worked to make ourselves.
Thanks for giving us a track to draft you on.

FPU does cover some things that the total money makeover book does not. If you call the Dave Ramsey customer service people and tell them you can’t afford FPU now but would like to buy the FPU CDs, they will sell you that. They did for me. The FPU CDs are great. You will learn from them.

I have appreciated what Dave Ramsey has to say. I have read his books and have tried to follow his advice over the years. Not sure either what is so criminally negligent Josh is referring to either. There are a whole bunch of people out there that are completely clueless about personal finances and DR has some good helpful advice.

I too am amazed at what people don’t know. I remember several years ago on the discussion board here there was a thread going about how to wash dishes. All I could think was how could anyone not know how to do dishes as I have been doing them since about 2nd grade! But then some people were never required to help around the house or do any kind of chores and were handed everything and never had to work for anything. Those that can’t/won’t do things for themselve end up paying someone to do the things for them or buying a machine (dishwasher) to do it for them, thus wasting money.

It is amazing what people don’t know! I follow a website in the UK called ‘Martin Lewis’ and there are two particular forums, debt free wannabe and money saving old style that I read.

So often people say things that astound me. How can they not know these things? It is just like food, many have no idea what they are putting into their own and their children’s bodies.

I’ve read many times about Ramsey and how his system has helped people. He is running a business not a charity and like every system for anything, it is not for everyone. But, if it makes people aware enough to take on the message and go on to find other ways and sites about saving and how to free up money to save, it will be $100 well spent.
