Over the last couple of weeks I have went through Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps expanding out the smaller sub-steps of each one. In case you missed one of the steps or you are just getting here, below are links to each of the Expanded Baby Steps.

I hope you have or will read through each step and leave comments if you have any questions, ideas, or opinions.
