I don't judge if the ideas described in book are working well (probably they are, based on other reviews), but honestly - it's tooo lengthy. Literally 49% of the book (I'm using Kindle, that's why I can see how much I've read) looks like sales pitch. "The Total Money Makeover" name mentioned in every two sentences. Please, I don't need to be motivated to follow the methodology, I already bought the book for a reason, didn't I? In fact, half of the book my thoughts was like "OMG when are we going to start???".
So, if you have plenty of free time, then start reading from the beginning. Otherwise skip half of the book.

The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ramsey is the book of elementary financial literacy that imparts common sense wisdom (albeit, with some fiery Christian passion) that every American should know. But I certainly didn’t. And I was in good company with the vast majority of Americans in that ignorant camp (“Don’t be normal,” he encourages, “be weird people!”). This book was my entry point into conscious personal finance and it (along with his podcast) completely shifted our relationship with money. The main battle cry of this book is to live debt-free. Free being the key word. As a slave to a lender, you can never truly be free with debt. These 7 baby steps of his are simple, universal, and brilliant. We worked them, and let me tell you, they work.Reviewed in the United States on 14 May 2018
