I know he was always a Fox News "bootstraps" type, but did Dave Ramsey just give up all appearances of offering "good" PF advice? Wtaf, this is so bad

It looks like it was shopped and is something some boomer would blindly repost.

As a broke kid whose parents thought it would be a good investment, I assure you dude has always been a fucking grifter praying on poverty-stricken Christian families. His advice (read: worthless fiscal platitudes) are like the thoughts and prayers of financial planning... I have literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of bills for chemo we couldn't even fathom affording while he was dying as my only inheritance to attest to this.

I'm sorry, imo if you're making a living off of what amounts to a MLM-esque program offering financial 'guidance' to people making sub-federal poverty line wages that includes an entire unit on trading stocks then at best you're an idiot and at worst you're... Well, Dave Ramsey, apparently.

His advice was always bad.

Somehow, and I don't get how, he got a reputation for "common sense" financial stuff.

He always was the 10%-to-the-church type which is just braindead if you're financially strapped: the Jeeesus can live without your money, but your family probably can't.

Also he's a sexist, homophobic and probably racist piece of shit (since those come in threes) so really, no reason to do anything other than pretend he doesn't exist and try to save cult members.
