Dave Ramsey Resources
One of the people who inspired me to start this personal finance blog was Dave Ramsey. My wife and I took the Financial Peace University class that Dave Ramsey’s group put together, and it changed our financial lives. We enjoyed the class so much that we decided to help facilitate the class as well.
When I finally started this site I wrote a Financial Peace University Review, in addition to a series of posts on his 7 Baby Steps to getting out of debt and having financial peace.
On this page I want to put all the Dave Ramsey resources together in one spot for you to read. Have your own post about taking FPU, or how one of Dave’s principles for financial peace have affected you? Send me a guest post!
