- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book will change the way you look at debt.

This book makes your dream of being financially secure into a reality using "Baby Steps". EVERY SINGLE PERSON GRADUATING SCHOOL AND ENTERING THE WORKFORCE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it so much !! Thanks for a good read and ideas ! Specially when being married !
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It’s a good reminder of the fact that you have to be savvy in order to have your finances together but I still think that paying for everything in cash is not a good idea especially when it comes to big investments. The authors states also that wealthy people don’t get loans to invest in real estate (which is possible but just depends on what type of RE we are talking about).
Overall i agree with the fact that you need to get rid of consumer debts first before even thinking about any kind of investment. There’s a path to follow in order to succeed In money management although when it comes to investment, the past performances of a mutual fund shouldn’t be taken for granted as future performances. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book...everyone must read or listen to this book.I night recommend this book

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely a must read for anyone who needs a reset with their money. For 7 years of our marriage we fought over money because we didn’t have a plan and had no clue how to run our money effectively. This book has changed the way we handle our money forever. Thank Dave!
