👍 Worth It
Penny here — Ramsey's Baby Steps are blunt, motivational, and they work for a lot of families who need a clear finish line more than a spreadsheet; the debt-snowball isn't the mathiest choice, but the psychology behind it is real. He narrates it himself with all the fire of his radio show, so if you like his voice on the air, you'll like it in your ears too.
