Too lengthy

Reviewed in Australia on 7 September 2018

Verified Purchase

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.

Good tips but a little long winded

Reviewed in Australia on 4 April 2020

Verified Purchase

Overall this is a good money strategy book with many useful tips. I’m not so much of a fan of the Christian elements of the book or the emphasis on what makes a good Christian family. The format of the book could be improved to make it more concise/clear.

O regret I bought the book

Reviewed in Australia on 14 January 2019

I bought this book expecting any guide to help me
But all the book is just don’t use credit to buy any thing
To be honest instead of buying the book
Just read this again
Don’t buy any thing by credit
That’s all
And nothing more

The "secrets of how to get rich" found on the internet

Reviewed in Australia on 22 August 2019

This book was just another fairy tale story on how to get rich, yes everyone knows that cutting out credit cards helps and management of time is essential, this book was very mediocre in my opinion.

Work the steps and they will work

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.

Save $1000 emergency fund
Pay off debts using the Debt Snowball: Make a list of your debts, smallest to largest (excluding mortgage) and focus all of your financial effort on one debt at a time (making only the minimum payments on all others), working your way down, with gazelle intensity. Once you cross one off, you divert all the money you were paying on that debt to the next, with the payment size growing at each step.
Save 3-6 months expenses
Put 15% toward retirement
Save for kids’ college
Pay off mortgage
Build wealth by investing

“We buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.”

Great Principles

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I am a UK reader and have to say that though the book is very American in the discussion of products that it recommends the principles are sound and help greatly.
The techniques are easy to pick up and impliment. The stories within the book give some motivation though I had a tendancy to glaze over them as I was not there for the stories but was there mainly for the tips and tricks.
Would reccommend for anyone looking to become debt free

Focused at a US based audience, but the principles remain the same

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2019

Verified Purchase

As a UK based reader, I felt some of the concepts which Dave talks about are primarily focused on a US based audience; however, I think the book does give the right type of philiosophy, which is transferable to any global reader. The baby-steps Dave outlines are a good roadmap to follow and really just makes you think about money in a different way.

One dislike about the book is that there is a lot of 'filler' in by there are testimonial stories from people who have had a total money makeover. I felt this may have been done to give the reader reassurance they are not alone; however, I do think it acts as a way of diluting down the real content of the book.

Dave does talk about Financial Peace and I think this book probably covers a lot of the content covered in that book. If you haven't heard of Dave Ramsey in the UK, he's kind of the US equivalent to Martin Lewis. I like Dave's 'no frills' approach and the book isn't designed as a shortcut to wealth. The fastest way to wealth is to avoid debt like the plague, and I think Dave really addresses this.

If you're wanting to improve your basic financial approach and want to think of money in a different way, then this book is for you, but do be prepared to do some homework if you're a non-US reader to find equivalency to some of the concepts I.E. pensions etc. in your home country.

ALWAYS speak to a good financial advisor too! :)

Although I've not read it thoroughly, the bits I have read have made sense. 3 months later and my debts have more than halved! Only one debt left and I'm looking forward to being completely debt free later this year and then plan to start paying off the mortgage. Highly recommend

This book totally changed my perception of managing my money and has changed my life. I know I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for reading this book. If you want to start saving and get rid of debt, this is the book you NEED to read
