some don’t like Ramsey

because he will tell you flat out that you or your wife was a moron for getting a $100,000 music degree.

And no one wants to be told that they need to step out on faith and leave a crummy job for something better or pick up a second job to clean up financial hiccups

I honestly TRY to listen to him on occasion but he is so repetitive, boring and uninspiring (kind of like "slimload" here on!) that I can only take a few minutes of his monotony!
So he is correct but VERY unpalatable to me (again just like "slimload"!).
In fact as time goes on I find that I resent him more each time I try to listen to him (again just like "slimload"!).

I hear what you’re saying about Dave and I agree that his shows are a lot of the same stuff over and over, but I think it’s damn hard to shoot many holes in his plan. The wife and I have the mortgage still, but we built the house last year and we’re already a third of the way through the mortgage. Other then that we have no debt of any kind, interest free or not. After reaching this point I’ll never go into debt again with the exception of a mortgage on a ranch some day, which Dave says is okay. 😊

That’s a true statement about people getting rubbed the wrong way and not liking someone even if that person is right. Happens all the time to me in my job. Some people are just sensitive when it comes to the possibility that they may be wrong or not know everything about everything.

If I knocked on your door, I was going to sell you a termite job, a flea treatment, a new roof, some replacement windows, some foundation or attic ventilation, a vapor barrier in your crawlspace, a monthly pest control contract, a deck, a privacy fence, tree work.

Them ones that have them No Soliciting signs, those schmucks are pushovers. They can’t say no. Hahaha

If you were rude, I sent my wife’s Uncle Harold out, he sold Kirby vacuums. Holy fugk, he’d rip you a new one. lol

Gypsy schitt right there!😁😁

I had a girlfriend once who wanted a new car, i said "what do you want a new car for, yours is working isn't it".......she said yes "but everyone at work has a new one" I think I just stared at her, in my head I was thinking "you crazy bitch". that one lasted about 3 months.

Dave Ramsey couldn't carry Bruce Williams' jock strap when it comes to financial advice on the radio.

I never sold anything to someone that didn’t need it. If you had termites, I’d drag the husband under that crawlspace and show them mud tunnels, live insects, damage. . Always had extra coveralls.

If your roof was baked, I know I could sell you a job $2000-3000 cheaper than Sears Home Improvement would break it off in your ass. And I had real references all over,

You didn’t pay me a dime until all the work was finished, I wasn’t some scab picker that needed you to pay for the shingles first at the lumber yard. lol

I picked a good one. She is the daughter of a retired copper mine top exec. My Father In Law started as a laborer in a southern Arizona copper mine, with his High School diploma - the most education (on paper) he ever achieved..

Finished a "few" years later as a top executive and world-wide consultant in the copper industry. He is still in the same 1,000 sq ft house in the southern Arizona mountains. Worth millions.

If you invest in a copper company that smelts, he designed that technology from the ground up - most of the world adopted his design.

He is in his 80's still drives an old Jeep Cherokee to the little mom-and-pop mexican food joint in Mammoth, AZ they have been going to for ~50 years..

So my wife gets it!

I got a ton of work from title companies, realtors, banks

I’d pop in and talk to the loan originators or agents, they say heck yeah, we’ve had to put off a closing for 2 more weeks because we can’t get to guy that gave us an estimate to come back and do the work.

Places like that would get a punch list from a VA or FHA inspector or home inspector. They couldn’t get one person to do everything on their list.

They didn’t want fool with Herman the plumber that only wanted to fix the garbage disposal but was too fat and old to replace the pipe boot flashing on the roof.

I’d get the list and me and my goon squad would be over there till 2am painting, plumbing, fixing loose screws, etc.

Creative flows of income. You can sleep when you’re dead.

I spent it on tacos from the Mexican place. The real one, not the one for white people. They were awesome.

Meh. Decent intentions. With an agenda for sure. But not some hateful "little prick" as you suggest.

Like I have said, not a follower or fan but I appreciate parts of the message.

Your post, on the other hand, suggest a very deep seeded personal issue that the 24HCF probably can't solve in your singular, cryptic post, Mr. 3.14159265359

It’s illegal to solicit anything in my city. You show up at my door & get on my nerves, the man in blue will come to greet you hurriedly.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.
