Dave Ramsey Anyone?

Has anyone on here used Dave Rmasey's plan of action and had collection agencies calling their house? Has anyone went through his Financial Peace University? I have read his books and am thinking about signing for his University. Just curious if anyone had any feedback they would like to share. Thanks

I know there are a lot of Dave Ramsey fans here. I think his concepts are generally sound, but he isn't going to teach you anything that you can't learn on your own, on this board or other internet sites, or by checking his book or other similar books out at the library. I think it's a little ironic that so many people spend money on his books (and I assume it costs to attend his university too) in order to get out of debt. They are making him rich, when in fact you don't have to spend money to get out of debt.

I LOVE Dave Ramsey.. I've read two of his books now, Total Money Makeover and Financial Peace revisited.. Both books are very similar, so either would be good. I'm just starting his first baby step. I have $315 saved towards by $1000 and I'm looking forward to having the whole $1000 so I can start paying on debt. I only have about an extra $100 a month after I cut everything, to put towards saving, but I figure its better than nothing. I am going to have a MASSIVE garage sale in May.. I've decided everything in my house that I've not used in the last year is going, furniture, dishes, clothes, etc. All being sold. I'm hoping to make a few hundred dollars from that and fund my full $1000.

Read his book. Its very motivating...
