Dave Ramsey is a joke. Anyone who knows the basics of personal finance knows he has no idea what he's talking about and gives advice that is downright statistically incorrect (e.g. his 8% rule nonsense).

Yes, and that's just the start. He preaches against bankruptcy, but he himself declared bankruptcy in 1988. He claims Christianity but has been sued by female ex-employees (one was fired for being pregnant by a guy she was not married to, another was fired for coming out as gay) and is a fully batshit insane covid denier.

And while he preaches this "nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE" shit, Wikipedia lists his personal value at $55 million as of 2018, which, presumably, he would never have been able to get near if he'd repaid his own debts back in 1988 instead of declaring bankruptcy like the hypocritical fuck he is.
