Financial Peace Revisited
by Dave Ramsey
Ramsey's earlier book, updated: the debt snowball, cash envelopes, emergency fund, and his personal bankruptcy story, with chapters on marriage and money and raising kids with money sense. It overlaps heavily with The Total Money Makeover.
Read it if…
you want Ramsey's philosophy with more personal narrative and family chapters.

Skip it if…
you have read The Total Money Makeover; this is the same plan.

Three things you will actually use

- Cash envelopes end overspending.
- Live like no one else now so you can later.
Do this first
Build a $1,000 starter emergency fund before anything else.
