Why is DAVID BACH a www.JOSEPHSANGL.com Financial Hero?

A friend of mine named, ironically, David, gave me a copy of David Bach's book, Smart Couples Finish Rich, to read.  That was all it took for me to name David Bach a Financial Hero.  In this book, David Bach talks about the importance of working together as a couple on your finances.  In relationships, money represents so much more than just something that is used to pay for things.  If allowed, money can dictate who has the power and control.  Money is connected to so many aspects of life and relationships.

David Bach also emphasizes the importance of making things AUTOMATIC!  If you make your investments automatic via automated monthly withdrawals, you can't help but become wealthy!!!

I have also read David Bach's, The Automatic Millionaire.  This book really details HOW to set up your investments and the POWER of compound interest.  I love reading about compound interest.  It is such a GREAT friend when it is paying you!

David Bach's materials should be required study for juniors and seniors in high school!

David Bach, you are an official www.JosephSangl.com Financial Hero!  I admire your personal crusade to help others win with their finances!

Other books written by David Bach include Smart Women Finish Rich, Start Late, Finish Rich, and The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner.

Why is DAVID CHILTON a www.JOSEPHSANGL.com Financial Hero?

My dad gave my twin brother and I a book when we were around twelve years old.  The book's title?  The Wealthy Barber 

This book is written as a fictional novel set in the Detroit area.  The book is very easy and quick to read.  The primary lesson learned in this book is the POWER of Compound Interest.  I remember setting that book down at around twelve year's of age and saying, "If a barber can be a millionaire, then I will be too!"  AT AGE 12!!!

Why should DAVID CHILTON be your Financial Hero? 

• David's book teaches the concept of compound interest in a fun, easy read.  You can buy a copy and have your children read it as they enter the teenage years.  After they have read it, a great opportunity will be available for you to discuss the power of compound interest and investing.
• The Wealthy Barber also shows the power of developing a sound business plan and shows it in action through a single lady, a married couple, and a bachelor.  In other words, anyone can do this!
• I personally have ordered copies of this book ten at a time that I have handed out to friends of mine.  The lesson of compound interest needs to be KNOWN by all people!

David, you are an official www.JOSEPHSANGL.com Financial Hero!  At age 12, my world was rocked through your book!  My financial future was forever changed by learning the POWER of compound interest so early in life.

Why is DAVE RAMSEY a www.JOSEPHSANGL.com Financial Hero?

Dave rocked my world in December 2002.  I had been terrible at managing our short-term money.  We had always contributed heavily to retirement, but our short-term savings hovered continuously at around $4.13.

Dave's 7 Baby Steps changed the way I look at money forever.  I printed out these 7 Baby Steps and put an "expect-to-accomplish" date next to each one.

Jenn and I became debt-free (except for the house) in just 14 month's time.  We are now at Baby Step 6 and making HUGE strides toward Baby Step 7.

Why should DAVE RAMSEY be your Financial Hero? 

• Dave Ramsey will tell you like it is.  He speaks at a level that you and I can understand.  Dave also is on over 300 radio stations every day for three hours which really helps you learn more about personal finance through the experiences of others!  You can listen to him on-line anytime HERE.
• Dave has excellent resources available for you to learn more about your finances.  I recommend that everyone take Financial Peace University, a 13-week life-altering class.  You can find a class near you by clicking HERE.
• Dave's book, Financial Peace, Revisited, is my personal favorite book that he has written.  He has also recently released The Total Money Makeover.  These books should be mandatory reading in high school.  He also wrote an earlier, less-known book called More Than Enough that was good, but I would read the other two books first.
• Dave is real and authentic.  He has lost and won with money and is an excellent communicator.
• Dave is also crazy about teaching our kids this stuff.  So much so that he has written a line of children's books.  They are filled with very creative drawings and have actually been given out by the millions as part of the Kid's Meal Program at Chick-fil-A!

Dave, you are an official www.josephsangl.com Financial Hero!  You ROCK!
