I'm a big fan of Dave Ramsey and his baby steps to financial peace. I've just created the above poster to print out for our house, but I did tweak one baby step: I switched out "College Funding" for "Personal Development Funding" because I've learned that investing in your own personal development through books, audios, conferences, masterminds, etc, can give just as great a return, if not greater, than a college degree - especially if you know you want to take the entrepreneurial path.
