Which of his works is best in describing his "philosophy" about money?Chris W. Rea2010-02-08T01:41:56Z2010-03-31T16:56:08Z
<p>An admission: There's a reasonably well-known money personality/expert that wasn't on my radar screen until I started running this site. I'm referring to <strong>Dave Ramsey</strong>. I've become curious about Ramsey as I've seen many mentions of his name, shows, books, or courses in answers here at Basically Money:</p>

</ul>
<p>I'm assuming my ignorance was because Ramsey is popular in the U.S., but not so much in Canada. I'm aware that Ramsey has a TV show, but I've never seen it broadcast here and I regularly browse the TV schedule. (Whereas, I <em>do</em> watch the Suze Orman show, but that's easy because I get CNBC.)</p>
<p>My questions are:</p>
<ul>
<li>If you had to start with <em>one thing</em> to get to know the Dave Ramsey "philosophy" about money, what would it be? A book, the show, something else?</li>
<li>In a nutshell, what are the main points Ramsey teaches listeners / viewers / readers about money?</li>
<li>Are either of his TV or radio shows available on the Internet? Free, or e.g. iTunes?</li>
</ul>
<p>Thanks! I'll be using the answers to this question to help me address my ignorance. :-)</p>
