About Dave Ramsey
Ramsey is one of the few people in the United States who can honestly say they’ve experienced life from all sides of the financial spectrum.
Ramsey had a modest upbringing, but managed to build a $4 million real-estate portfolio by the age of 26. Unfortunately, he lost it all within four years and was later forced to declare bankruptcy. However, instead of giving up, he turned this adversity into an opportunity to reinvent himself and teach others about the importance of sound money management.
Today, Ramsey hosts The Dave Ramsey Show, a nationally syndicated radio program heard by nearly three million listeners each week. He is the creator of the Financial Peace University (FPU), a 13-week program designed to help people get control of their money and eliminate their debt, and Financial Peace for the Next Generation, a curriculum designed to teach children about financial responsibility.
In addition, Ramsey appears frequently on popular television programs such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and 60 Minutes to offer his no-nonsense brand of financial advice.
