Yeah. You are.

Have you paid attention to the story? It's about finances, and relationships.

Listen. I know you don't like Dave Ramsey. You come out with your bashing shovel every time I share something. I'm not going to stop sharing stories like this. Because while not everyone will admit it on here, someone, somewhere along the way might actually give a damn and learn something from him, and it's COMPLETELY worth pestering you if it helps someone else in the long run. If you don't like it, ignore it.

Huh? Maybe I've talked about him in one or two other threads, but it think that's it.

I think you missed my point. If you or others find Dave Ramsey's advice helpful, more power to you. I really have no problem with that. People are free to make choices that I don't make—if those choices work for them, then great. They're just not for me for a variety of reasons.

To be honest, the problem that I have with your posts on Ramsey isn't so much with Ramsey himself. It's the arrogance—sorry, but that's what it is—of suggesting that anyone who doesn't agree with Ramsey, and I guess with you, is "part of the problem" or doesn't give a damn.

See, I have no problem ignoring posts about Ramsey and advice from him. Your insults to those of us who don't agree with his perspectives or follow his advice by telling us we're part of the problem or stupid, when you have no clue as to how we parent or manage finances, is what's harder to ignore.

This ^. Also my problem with the link posted is when he starts to make comments about public policy. I got turned off when he started to say that the girl and her attorney should be sanctioned for "wasting the court's time." It's something he knows nothing about, but he is in a position where people value what he says on the air. That is irresponsible.

Well, I think the comments are pretty spot on.

Exactly. While it seems that his advice has worked well for some people trying to get out of debt, he has no qualifications whatsoever to comment on public policy. For what it's worth, neither does Oprah.
