Huge overhaul in what way?

If you have credit card debt, then yes attack it in the way he suggests.

If you have a 30 yr mortgage at 3%, then no don't liquidate all investments to pay extra on it.

List your debts and I mean every debt you have and then we will tell you what you need to do.

That's not a fair characterization of what his method proposes. You're talking about Step 6. He does not advocate selling things to pay off the mortgage - he encourages refinancing into a 15 year, and only after your emergency and rainy day funds are full, 15% going to retirement, all other debt retired, etc., that you pay EXTRA on the 15-year mortgage.

Please familiarize yourself with what you're shooting at before you demonstrate what you don't know.
