    In high school, I had a class called ‘dollars and sense’, which was literally just Dave Ramsey seminars. If I recall, the whole class was just track income and debt, budget, and never get a credit card. Also, only invest in mutual funds. One bit of advice of his I always really like: never lend money to family or friends. This will create a creditor-debtor relationship that will hurt family. If they are really your family or friends, then just give them some money.

    This clip seems awful. Perhaps it is lacking context? Or maybe he is just a piece of shit.

      I remember a high school class back in 2015 where we watched Ramsey clips and he said that if you go to the store, you should try to negotiate down the price by showing the cashier and/or seller that you have cash on you.

      they play this guy on the radio and it is just basic financial advice. “Pay debt because interest” level stuff. He doesn’t seem completely awful but he’s at least a bOoTsTraPs guy. Doesn’t ever consider that people can be suck in debt situations that are mathematically impossible to get out of because of low wages (ie wage slavery).

    In all fairness, he’s not wrong.

    To a lot of people, getting the one-time check of $1,400 or less could help pay a couple rent or mortgage payments, buy some gas or buy some food, but they are kicking the proverbial can down the road.

    Of course, I imagine that me and him come to different conclusions at this point.

      Yeah but to make this argument in favor of no checks instead of bigger checks is straight up evil.

    Wouldn’t paying down $1400 in debt accomplish exactly what this wealth gospel doofus claims is the sure path to prosperity?

      No, you see, you have to suffer for it or it doesn’t count.

    Is this that same dude that all the weird Christian bros have built a cult around because he’s amassed a fortune telling people to pay off their debts?

        If you hadn’t been already, seeing Trump’s weird witch minion summon angels of victory from Africa by beatboxing random nonsense should’ve convinced you that American Christians worship the Ruinous Powers
