He shared the lessons he learned by writing Financial Peace, a simple but powerful guide that offers practical lessons on how to get out of debt - and stay out.

Yes! It was my first Audible Book given to me by a good friend who feels this Information can make me Stop all my bad habits which are Debt riddled and spinning out of control with no positive direction and now....after listening to Dave's riviting story I can set sights on a New Path to Success if I follow his Principles in which I took 3 pages of notes so Yes it was an Extreme reaction which I plan to follow through on. I have to and want do it!

Any additional comments?

So Glad I was able to listen to Daves adventure with all the trial and tribulations he experienced! Many of the uninformed like myself when it comes to the pitfalls of the Credit Card Crooks can really learn and become educated listening to Daves Message. I wish I heard this years ago since I'm 59 now but there's still time to impact my Financial future based on following Daves steps so Thank You Very Much and I'll see you on the road to Credit Relief on the corner of Financial Success in retirement!

This should be mandatory coursework in the schools to teach high school age kids how to avoid financial credit card disaster and how a good Investment plan can set up a great financial future for everyone who follow the principles outlined by Dave! Thanks Again!

Excellent advice

Great advice but short story for the cost of the book. I would recommend it.

very helpful and inspiring

dave puts finance in terms that are very easy to understand and is entertaining while he does it. great information for those who are looking for some direction in this area of life.

Excellent guide on financial peace

Very inspiring to get you get you out of financial mess! A must listen guide. Thank you Dave.

there was garbage in my soul.

I realize it now. thank you for breaking it down so simply. first audio book ever. loved it

Very good, but too short

Dave is great! This book is very short though. In addition, there's some weird feedback when listening to this audiobook.

Excellent advice with a few caveats

This book is great general advice for someone who wishes to get out of debt and eventually build wealth. The advice on the recommended stock market portfolio, however, is extremely dated (by about 20 years) and even for that time it wasn't very sound. The author's assertion, for example, that international mutual funds outperform the general stock market is historically untrue. His lack of emphasis - and to some degree his dismissal of the impact fees make on mutual funds returns - has also proven to be false. I recommend getting your stock/mutual fund investing advice elsewhere. While this book is very weak on actual stock/mutual fund investing advice, it is very strong on understanding debt and practical approaches for getting out of it.

As long as the reader understands that this book needs to be understood in today's context/today's dollars, this is real meat and potatoes content on debt reduction and financial liberty.

Decent book.

This is a decent book, but not quite on par with "Total Money Makeover." Still worth your time though.

I need the worksheets at the end of book .

Could be very helpful with worksheets ,maybe audible can send to my email address. thanks

Great Book!

I will be listening to this again and again to gain better understanding and wisdom to get out of debt and stay there! I would highly recommend this book!
