I had the book Financial Peace sitting on a shelf for many years but never opened it. And then we got really nervous about the idea of paying for college or trade school. Got out the book and started realizing that we needed to make some changes.

Why people recommend it
Financial Peace Revisited by Dave Ramsey is a foundational personal finance guide that outlines practical steps for getting out of debt, budgeting, and building long-term wealth. The book was frequently referenced by callers and hosts on The Ramsey Show as well as on ChooseFI. On The Ramsey Show, multiple callers named Jake shared that their parents had followed the financial principles in Ramsey's book starting around the year 2000 and successfully accumulated wealth. Another caller, who worked as a financial literacy teacher, explained that they had spent two years teaching courses using Ramsey's curriculum and the Total Money Makeover financial peace books. A different caller admitted that the book had sat unread on their shelf for years until anxiety over college and trade school expenses finally prompted them to open it and make necessary financial changes. Dave Ramsey himself reflected on the early success of the book, recalling how he received word about selling the millionth copy on the exact day his grandmother dismissively asked when he was going to get a real job. On ChooseFI, Jonathan noted that Ramsey created Financial Peace early on as a free church resource before leveraging his growing radio show into a nationwide multi-million dollar publishing and financial advisory empire.
