David Ramsey

David Ramsey is a well known debt solution expert and financial consultant that's authored fourteen books, hosts a national radio show, and runs a financial consulting firm.

The majority of his programs focus on overcoming debt through a variety of debt management solutions.

On the subject of debt David Ramsey speaks from experience and shares his own rollercoaster history with money. By age 26 David Ramsey had accumulated a real estate portfolio that was worth millions of dollars.

However, much of his success relied on a cycle of borrowing money, consequently new tax legislation limited his ability to proceed with his business practices; this ultimately forced him into bankruptcy.

After suffering a huge loss David Ramsey began his slow climb back onto his feet. He was providing financial counseling and eventually developed the basis for his debt eradication programs. This led him to create The Lampo Group, his own financial consulting firm.

These days David Ramsey can be heard offering financial advice through his radio show and at several of his websites. His show has been singled out for several awards due to David Ramsey's unique approach in taking calls. He's known for talking to people in a way that reaches them more than just simple financial advice could.

On the subject of debt and actual financial advise David Ramsey's major point is to avoid debt at all costs. His motto is "you shouldn't buy it if you can't afford it." He has taken his hatred of debt and credit card companies to an extreme level as he won't accept credit card payments on his websites.

David Ramsey is most known for promoting two financial strategies, the "Baby Steps" and his "Debt Snowball". The Baby Steps force you to confront your financial situation and begin the process of eliminating debt, increasing savings, and positioning yourself to make smart investments.

The Debt Snowball is David Ramsey's method of paying off debt with the smallest balance first.

This strategy has been criticized because you would technically save more money and pay debts of faster if you started paying the highest interest rate debt first. However, David Ramsey acknowledges this fact and counters it with a logical explanation.

He says that the majority of people feed of the positive reinforcement they get by completely eliminating one debt payment. Thus it may end up costing more in the long run, but if the psychological factor keeps you from straying of your debt elimination plan then it's worth the extra cost.

There have been some criticisms that some of his financial advice is too broad and simplistic. My take on it is that if his products can actually get people out of debt then it puts them in a much better position to take their finances to the next level; regardless if they take investment advice from David Ramsey or not.

My youngest daughter is reading your book and loving it. Never in a thousand years would I have thought that she would get a new perspective on finance. You certainly had an impact on her but I'm sure I'm one of many sharing this comment!!

I was listening to Dave on the XM-Radio. I was a owner/operator truck/driver and I was getting out of debt. Then my wife got sick and fuel got to high, I had to give back the truck. I'm trying to get back on track I lost my XM but I wrote a lot of stuff down, so far it's helped. If you can listen to Dave on the radio every day you get a great high (with out the drugs).I really miss listening to Him,But I still have the notes to get me through. I really Hope you listen to him he has great advice. Thank You for letting me talk to you.
