If You don't like Dave Ramsey because he is a Christian and mentions God then shut up and get your advice from someone else.

[lonestarduffer]

Dave is a master at what he does, & I have learned priceless financial principles from him. Like Dave, I am also a christian, so I can appreciate that perspective. If his faith offends you or turns you off in any way, then I agree with msu2014 - get your money advice elsewhere. Dave is qualified to teach this stuff; if he was muslim or mormon, or Hindu, etc... I would NOT care because his FINANCIAL principles are SOUND. Eat the meat & spit out the "bones" people. Learn what you CAN !

Dave Ramsey is great and his financial advice is solid. His Christian perspective is also very much relevant because Christianity has been, historically at least, very much opposed to debt and usury. My only problem with Dave is he refuses to discuss fractional-reserve banking and at one point even defended and whitewashed the Federal Reserve which is a private bank that creates our money from debt. Although, I suspect he would lose his show if he discussed these topics.

This guy is dead right. The bankers want to enslave you with debt, "credit", etc. Don't fall for it. I've never used debt or credit, always cash. Guess what I have a lot of? You guess money. Sure. But much more importantly, I have a lot of TIME. I have my time. The bankers don't. You can borrow money, you can't borrow time. Nothing you can buy is worth your time.

@49fortyniners What an idiotic thing to write.

[SloterMFmeyer]

@MrBagginsEsq The federal reserve system is based on debt. A banker creates currency (a few numbers in a computer), loans it and asks rent for it. When the loan is paid the money disappears. That means that without debt there would be no dollars. When someone supports the federal reserve system, he supports debt and rent. Rent is the cost of debt, it is a way of making money with loaning and not with labor. Christianity has fought rent since forever! (as does islam by the way)

[MrBagginsEsq]

@SloterMFmeyer Who are you talking about? I mean he sais renting is okay temperarally but he is against debt in every manner!

[SloterMFmeyer]

He is a believer. In de federal reserve. How can a christian have faith in so much debt en rent?

[jrenee1024]

I am an atheist and I love Dave Ramsey. Love. His financial advice is completely sound and brilliant. When he does the whole God thing, I take from it what I can and move on. I'm not offended at all. It's not like he shoves it down your throat; he is completely reasonable.

[drunkmunkky]

Dislike. Respect Dave a lot, follower of his plan, but I wasted four minutes watching this thinking it was financial advice. It's simply a sermon. No offense to Dave or any fans, but this should be clearly labeled as a sermon.

[3wrath3child3]

I don't care what anyone says, I think he's brilliant. Bought one of his books just the other day and have been reading it like crazy. You may think he's stupid or after everyone's money, but that just shows how little you have put into understanding what he's saying. I am learning quite a bit from him, and I am so glad to have stumbled upon one of his books. He's totally got a new fan right here. :)

Dave ramsey is such a moron!
