Dave Ramsey is an asshole person, but he is one of the few people out there giving pretty good advice to people who really need it. Not so much the finical part (that’s generally mediocre), but the emotional part that drives a lot of these decisions. He’s one of the few voices that’s out their telling people with hundreds of thousands in debt with 2+ kids making $80k that they don’t have to take care of their 60+ year old parents that never saved and feel like they should be able to retire. He tells people that experience massive trauma and loss that it’s ok to take time to process and pause major financial decisions while they process that grief.
