Thats's really bad advice IMO.

He's follows a really strict code of paying off debt no matter what. He simply can't start making exceptions because once he makes one exception he will have to start making more and more and then the line betwen exception becomes hazy so its simpler for him to follow a single mantra.

It's not necessarily good advice, it's more like a religion (as someone pointed out). Like don't eat pork. There's no good reasons these days but you can't start modifying your philosophy as you are already committed.

There's no room for following dreams in Dave's philosophy/cult.
