Although this is a topic that has been discussed and studied for decades, Dave Ramsey has really brought this concept based approach to money management into the forefront of American society. His books, Financial Peace Planner, The Total Money Makeover, The Money Answerbook, More Than Enough, have all been best sellers. His Audio CD’s “High Performance Achievement” and “ EntreLeadership” are both popular in Christian bookstores all over the country. His radio show broadcasts are rated at the top of his genre. Why is he so popular?

The message is simple: apply conservative Christian principles to all money related matters. This message resonates particularly well in the difficult economic conditions we all face now. He clearly states in an easy to understand manner, a basic blueprint on how to mange your household budget. He provides a step by step plan to reach stated goals. The method is simply a combination of conservative common sense and a restatement of the basic principle: buy what you need- not what you want! He advocates both husband and wife take an active role in establishing financial goals and then outlining a viable plan to achieve these goals.

The Christian philosophy he espouses colors all decision making processes. When determining household goals, Ramsey believes this must be a collective decision made by both husband and wife that mirrors one’s values. He is adamant that God must be a factor in your day to day decisions. For many people, bringing their religious beliefs into their daily lives is a wonderful testament to their faith.

Generally, when someone has a good or popular idea or slant on our daily lives, others tend to copy it. In Dave Ramsey’s case, there are many companies, groups and individuals that have emulated Ramsey’s success. There are now whole sections of book stores devoted to Christian Money Management. Obviously, this message resonates with a large portion of American society.

If you search the internet, you can now find Christian Money Managers advertising not only their expertise in financial money management, but also advertising their Christian faith as well. Christian Financial Planners are delving into debt consolidation, debt management, providing financial advice and securing your future through a Christian perspective.

In an era when integrity and purpose are sometimes wanting, this field provides a great service to many people looking for solutions- both financial solutions and answers about matters out of this world-literally.
