Who is Dave Ramsey?

Dave Ramsey is a financial writer and a television host. He has written over 14 books and has a radio station that can be heard in Canada or on Sirius Satellite Radio. He was born in Antioch Tennessee, but was raised in Nashville. He started out very well , in fact he had a degree in Science and Financing. But on the way up he fell down hard some of his investors demanded he pay them a little over ¼ of what he made in the beginning.

In 1992 he wrote his first on financing. He is married to a wife of 25 years named Sharon. They have three kids, and are currently in Nashville. Soon, he began to teach people how to deal with their finances. He began early and is still running his business without owing a dime.

On his radio show, he takes callers and then discusses with them some real life situations that have to do with money and how to deal with it successfully. He has also helped fund a lot of nonprofit organizations that some times need a little push to keep going. But not all people appreciate this man for what he has done to help families across the world. Some in fact criticize him; say that his answers are too simple to be the real solution. Some consider him a hypocrite for using credit cards.

Dave Ramsey is also trying to spread information to the youth of our nation. To get the younger citizens to understand that good financing is often worth more than people may believe. Many websites talk about how good or bad they think that Ramsey is. Many believe he is a financial genius. But no matter what many think he has at least tried to make the world a little easier on us by helping to teach us how to do certain things that otherwise we might not have a clue about.

He gives advice on how to make a little while you can save some just in case of emergencies. Tells you to go ahead and plan before the date comes up. Like if you get a job when your twenty put a little money away each month for your retirement or your kid’s college. Most of this seems just like common sense to me. Dave Ramsey is a man we should all try to listen to at least some of the time.
