Forget about dave whoever. If you like to gamble, open a stock brokerage account and put your money there.

I listen to Dave everyday. I am not able to apply his principles at this point, because I am too far in debt. IMO, Dave oversimplifies things a lot. He thinks you can fall out of bed, and find a 2nd job. I wish it were that easy. He's also as anti-bankruptcy as any financial guy there is. I've heard him absolutley berrate people on the radio for suggesting it.

There is a difference between "talk" and "act"... just as there is a illusion between "dream" and "reality"...

Is it just me, or does it seem like every "make a budget plan" seems to want to charge you a monthly or yearly fee to do so?

The more I listen to Dave Ramsey, and his success stories, a couple of things I keep noticing.

The people who call in, make a lot of money(most in excess of $100k)
Most don't have children in the home(lots of older folks)
Most of them are in debt, for no good reason other than poor spending habits, so there's little to cut out, that's needed, to make it happen.

Dave Ramsey is against bankruptcy?

I do not think Dave Ramsey berates people considering bankruptcy but he does ask them tough questions, a big difference. Many people who are considering bankruptcy are defensive because they have already chosen bankruptcy and do not want to hear advice to the contrary.

I always thought a budget was a simple process so what do you get if you pay for a budget program? When I started a budget I wrote down EVERYTHING that I spent money on and then every month I would categorize and total the numbers. Then I would closely scrutinize each expeiditure.

Thanks. Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.

Honestly, I think in many cases, it's just the opposite. Dave can't stand the idea someone would do something he doesn't advocate, so he goes after them. Don't kid yourself, this guy has a huge ego.

You banned me from your board, because I wanted to talk about some problems with Dave's system?
