I have read several books on investing and managing your money. Dave Ramsey might make since for some, he is not for me. I am sure he would criticize the way I manage my finances. But like I said there are a hundred ways to skin a cat!

Yeah, and looking at it from the other way around, I think people miss that point when following someone like Ramsey to the letter... his strategy is for a specific subset of people and also not necessary for a lifetime. I mean, sure it might work for some people all the time forever and you can still retire on time and be happy, but it also doesn't mean it's optimal when your 20 and then 30 and then 40, etc.
