Well I finished Rich Dad Poor Dad.  Unfortunately I am still a poor dad so I guess this stuff takes time!  Seriously, it was a good book, but it didn’t give a lot of practical steps to paying off debt and building wealth.  However, Dave Ramsey’s book, The Total Money Makeover does give you the secret to financial freedom.  I know this sounds like a paid advertisement, but it is not.  I totally recommend that you go to his website at http://www.daveramsey.com/ and check his stuff out!

I am 43 years-old and I am going to be honest with you…I basically have zero net worth.  Yes personally I have value.  My wife loves me, my kids love me, and you think enough of me to read my crazy blogs, but I’m a financial failure.  And it has caused undo stress in my life and sadly in the life of my wife and kids.  Now I know that people will say that money doesn’t buy you love and that your health and family is the most important things in life.  And you know who says that…broke people!  Obviously God, family, health and etc is what is most important in life, but we should all strive to be financially responsible.  

I will share the rest of my thoughts via audio so please click to listen or just save yourself some time and go cut up your credit cards!

  1. Tony,

    I was lucky enough to have a certified instructor at my workplace and she taught the class after work. It its life changing and simple. The hard part is the self-control to enact the program. When the kids ask for something not in the budget and explaining you can’t do that right now… I’m also working on teaching my kids the value of money.
