As far as dave Ramsey, along with suze orman, I wouldn’t listen to them for advice at all. Suze is particularly bad because the 1st thing she wants you to do is pay off your home, even if you can’t afford living there. Dave has good ideas about getting out of debt, but that’s it.
If you want a good book on investing, read any or all from John Bogle, and become a boglehead.

Yea I agree with you to a point, however the boglehead "thing" of 60/40 with 50% of equities in foreign stocks really has not worked out well over the last decade or so. Foreign stocks have significantly underperformed US markets and bond returns over the past decade to date have been flat if not had negative returns. The bond crash over the past 2 years has erased any gains over the past 10 years.
