By the time Ramsey was 26, he had a net worth of a little over a million dollars and a lot of debt. That debt caused him to lose everything. After losing everything, he went on a quest to find out how money really works, how he could get control of it, and how he could have confidence in handling it. He formed his company in 1988 to counsel folks hurting from the results of financial stress. He went on to write the book "Financial Peace" before starting a local radio call-in show called “The Money Game,” now nationally syndicated as “The Dave Ramsey Show.”
