- Flexo at Consumerism Commentary questions if a gas tax holiday or taxing oil companies will help the economy.

An Analysis on the Seven Baby Steps for Obtaining Wealth by Dave Ramsey
March 10, 2008 by Erik Folgate
Filed under Credit and Debt, Financial Links, Spending and Saving
If you are a regular reader of this blog, then you know that I am a supporter of the teachings of Dave Ramsey. There are many bloggers out there who think that Dave Ramsey has too much of an “emotional” approach to personal finance and neglects the math behind personal finance. There is some truth to that, but Ramsey doesn’t ignore the math. He embraces the premise that he believes that 80% of personal finance is behavior-based and 20% is about the numbers. A group of personal finance bloggers have analyzed the seven baby steps that Ramsey teaches for becoming wealthy. I thought that I would pass the links on to you to get their take on each step.
