Dave Ramsey is typical right-wing evangelical cult leader, but instead of dipping directly into religion, he is a conservative financial coach.
I searched for him on the youtube app and got Matt Walsh "What is a woman?" adverts, which really says everything one needs to know about the guy.
That said: Should you pay off debt? Yes, absolutely. Is debt the devil and you should destroy all your credit cards and never take loans ever like Ramsey advises? lmao no.
