Dave Ramsey Vs ???

Ok so this is my opening post of this new blog. I called the blog Dave Ramsey Vs because I found myself comparing the thoughts and teachings of Dave Ramsey from his Total Money Makeover book to other financial planners and authors. Some of these authors like Richard Kiyosaki of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series are often compared with Dave Ramsey and even sometimes put up as having competing teachings. In this I disagree so I thought i’d build this blog as a forum for making observations about Dave Ramsey and The Total Money Makeover and how it relates to other financial authors. Aside from my interest in good financial health I also needed to create an asset that would pay for my hobby of reading financial books, investing and working my own Total Money Makeover. You see this is not an anti Dave Ramsey blog. Dave Ramsey has changed my life after reading The Total Money Makeover and listening to his podcast. Six months ago I began my own Total Money Makeover, I make good money but felt broke all the time and could not explain where the money all went. By working my own Total Money Makeover i’ve managed to get to where in about six months I should be debt free except for my mortgage (on a 15 year fixed), and a rental property which cashflows a couple hundred each month. But as i’ve read other authors besided Dave Ramsey i’m beginning to make some observations in regards to the teachings , methods and opinions of other financial authors. So in future posts i’ll be comparing these teachings and providing my own commentary and opinon. Hopefully any visitors to this blog will find it as interesting as I will be in writing it.
