The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness Radio talk-show host and bestselling author Dave Ramsey is less a financial analyst and more of a preacher, which explains both his popularity and the appeal of this book. The bedrock of his system is simple: work hard, pay what you owe and stay out of debt. His main commandment is "Pay cash." He first exhorts the reader to take "baby steps," which are designed to build on each other: first, save $1,000 as an emergency fund; then, pay off all debts from smallest to largest; save a larger three-to-six-month emergency fund; finally, start to save for college and pay off your home mortgage. Ramsey understands the difficulty in putting these steps into action, and therefore packs his book with personal testimonials from everyday people who have used his system and have become debt free, with obvious struggles. The key is what Ramsey calls "Gazelle intensity," — outmaneuvering the enemy and running for your life! USA UK Canada
