People Under 40 Say Dave Ramsey Is Wrong

[kork13]

Yeah, I used to listen to him for a while ... I eventually got bored with the repetitive nature of everything he said. Also annoyed by the constant pushing of his various programs & products. His thinly-veiled politics seemed inappropriate for the show. Investment advice, I mostly just ignored. But for motivating people to get out of debt? He's the king. It has clearly worked for thousands and thousands of people. I do also appreciate his efforts to push financial education into schools, albeit his branded materials.

I think the bottom line here is that people don't like being told to do something that's uncomfortable or challenging. Being told that they're wrong or making mistakes. Getting viewpoints that differ from their own narrow opinions.

Nothing new there. Typically the people who push back against Dave Ramsey's advice are the very same people who need that advice the most.

& I missed the part where you already said the same thing. Seriously, I probably wouldn't have bothered replying. I have nothing more to add. Just kind of bored by the same old same old, so commented on that.
