I feel like this book was kind of a stepping stone between Financial Peace and Financial Peace Revisited. I don't mean to imply that I've read Financial Peace Revisited. What I found was that More Than Enough was a more robust treatment of the foundational matters associated with Financial Peace. The book takes you through several steps, several brief exercises in which you work out your values, your goals, etc. Dave emphasizes the idea that wealth and relationships have to be built together. My...more
This book is essentially a re-write of Financial Peace, but with a shift in focus from the nuts and bolts of the finances to personal character. It is difficult for me to give this book an accurate rating, because none of the information is new to me. If you have already read Financial Peace or The Total Money Makeover, then you have heard a lot of this information before. I think though that the book benefits from the change in focus greatly. While it loses the ability to be a go to financi...more
Sheesh! Found this book by accident! The last financial book I found had a list of three books to read at the end of it and I had read the other two, so I thought I'd read the third. The library didn't have it so I picked up another book by the author which was this one. Instead of a book about rearranging your budget, it is on how to build character and just be a better person. It has so many things that remind me of 7 Habits and 5 Love Languages. This is just not at all what I thought. ...more
This book was great! I have around $89,000 in debt of various kinds and I picked up this book out of desperation after Dave Ramsey was recommended to me by a friend. I actually enjoyed reading it! It's a really good book that helped me to realize what's important to me, the sacrifices I have to make in order to get on track and stay on track financially and that having More Than Enough isn't simply about having enough money. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. There was one chapter tha...more
Let me preface this review by drawing attention to the fact that I did not finish this book. So it may have gotten really good and been just what I was looking for if I had only read a few chapters more. That being said, this book was just all right. If you're looking for a book to help you reshape your thinking on money, saving, and spending, this is probably a good one. But it seems to focus more on the mindset of it than the actual doing of it. I was looking for more of a how-to and practical...more
A bit of the same material as is covered in Financial Peace Revisited and The Total Money Makeover. Since this is the last of the three that I'm reading, I'm finding it less interesting. It still has a lot of valuable information and from many perspectives based on where you are in your life so that is why I'm working my way through it to finish it. It's just not as exciting as the other two financial books by Dave Ramsey.
this has been by far my favorite book of his...this one i am considering buying. if your in need of some advice for getting financially square this one is a good place to start. no to get to being able to apply it. one of my favorite things is how how important it is to him that the spouses be on the same page and share the responsibility. i totally agree
I didn't read all of this book - just skimmed it because I was looking for what to do about money and kids. I like his suggestions - don't give an allowance - give them chores they have to do each week and a list of "extras" they can for money. Family chores need to be done first, then they have a chance to do the extras.
I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey. Though I'm grateful for having read this book, it has been my least favorite of his and the one that took me the longest to get through.
It does, on a bigger scale, speak more to the spiritual aspect of money and it has dozens and dozens of great quotes from many inspiring people.

I quite enjoyed this one. This one is much, much more of the spiritual aspect of money. Dave Ramsey is a fairly good author, but with the occasionally weak section; he sometimes leans a bit much on quotes from other people. Still, he is able to express some great ideas and priciples. This one is well done.
I love Dave Ramsey, but was a little diasppointed with this book. It was very disjointed and didn't really impact me nearly as much as his best-selling "Total Money Makeover", and "Financial Peace Revisited," which both changed my life. Still, he is THE MAN, and I trust his financial advice implicitly. Don't bother reading this one; stick with the other two. They really are great!!!
I am such a Dave Ramsey fan- this book makes SO much sense. I also feel like it's right in line with what our Church leaders counsel. I am looking forward to getting out of debt and building wealth- and this book has some great tools and information to aid us in our journey!
This particular Dave Ramsey book I think makes a Wonderful gift for college graduates and newlyweds.
Dave Ramsey does a great job focusing on the foundations of values, patience, discipline and character and a great description of diligence.

Having already read The Total Money Make Over, I already had a good understanding of Mr. Ramsey's ideas. This is still a good read. This book was written several years before TMMO and is more philosophical than his current work.
Dave Ramsey's ideas about finances do work, if you do the work.

Chapters on patience and contentment are very good, but much of the book is material will be familiar to those who have been through Ramsey's Financial Peace University or have read "The Total Money Makeover" (which I highly recommend).
Change you life, change you family tree and earn financial independence. Stop living paycheck to paycheck. Make a plan and know where you money is going before its just gone. Great book, fast and easy to read.

This book is great, it's a good way to step back and take a look at your core values and how you execute them through your actions, and specifically in how you deal with personal finances.
it's nice to have a reminder that it takes time to achieve your goals and that you always have room for improvement. I could do without the Christan overtones, but other than that I got a lot out of it.
I found this book helpful in goal-setting in general, not just financial. His isms are a bit much, but the advice and vision is sound.
I just picked it up at the library for 50 cents. I've already read his other book, so this is just going to be more to add to it.
I love Dave. I admit it. I think he's brilliant. But honestly, he's not. He just uses good, old-fashioned common sense when it comes to finances and explains things in a down to earth, easy to understand and implement way.
This book is clearly more Christian than his others. His others make some reference to his faith, this book is actually a bit more about the principles (rather than the mechanics) that got him out of debt and into financial freedom. And those principles are grounded...more

I really enjoy Dave Ramsey and this earlier work of his was an inspiring listen.
It is very important to communicate about money. There are rules to follow to make your relationship stronger and to change the way you think about money. There is no you in unity.

I like Ramsey. He is good.
I wish I would have discovered Dave Ramsey ten years ago! I love his philosophy when it comes to household budgeting and managing your money. There are seven "baby steps" in his Total Money Makeover, and I think they make a lot of sense. Here's a link that summarizes the steps - http://www.daveramsey.com/new/baby-steps...
He's a charming talk show host and likewise so are his books.
This has to be one of the worst financial books I have ever read. I liked the Total Money Makeover, but this I don't even know were to begin. He is at best vague and pompous. I can say I gleaned nothing of fiscal value from the book, but I am really sick of financial writing where you throw the word God in any time you can shove it into a sentence. Financancial responsibly is a worldly practice not a spiritual one, argh.
I still think Total Money Makeover is a better book, though. This one was a little simplistic.....almost more for people who are just considering getting their finances in order.
