I enjoy listening to his show. I started listening a little over two years ago and ponied up $20 for his Total Money Makeover book. I would say that is the best investment I ever made. In just over two years I paid off over $54,000 in debt leaving a mortgage as my only remaining debt, maxed out Roths and 401k's went on several nice vacations and improved my standard of living. I don't think we had an extravagant lifestyle before but with an actual written budget and my wife and I working together it really was quite amazing how much we could squeeze out of our income. We didn't sell any major assets and my income actually fell by more than $10,000 during year 1. You get lots of good ideas when you are actually focused. I did buy more books from him when they sold for $10 and give them as gifts. He has many items for sale, but I thought the book covered things nicely so I couldn't see spending more money. Many of the products he sells can be purchased for less elsewhere. I think his debt reduction, budgeting and personal responsibilty advice is stronger than his investment advice. On the whole finding his show and book has had a very positive affect on my Net worth and stress level. This board has helped tremendously especially with respect to an AA strategy and using Vanguard where I used to be all load funds.
