Ramsey, as posted before, is really effective for people who are bleeding to death through debt. I think the fact that he's a kind of conservative bootstraps guy and an evangelical Christian helps quite a bit with a lot of his demographic, as well. Obviously goons (including myself) are kind of turned off by that, but if you are by-God sure that through hard work et al that you will overcome any concievable challenge and if you don't you just aren't trying, it's helpful to have someone talking to you who also believes that yes through just Doing The Right Thing you will overcome your problem. Also, if you are big in to tithing, and someone tells you not to tithe/donate to charity, you are immediately going to tune that person's advice out, even if it's good, because it doesn't align with your values. On the other hand, if you don't have a DTI over 1 in consumer debt, he's not all that useful, and as said before his investment poo poo is super scummy. But there are a lot of people in the US bleeding to death through debt and he's helpful for them.

If there's a better place to ask, where would that be? I'm not sure of a good place. Most VC-related threads are about heaping well-deserved scorn on the industry and its hangers-on. If you find one, lmk because I'd be interested too. (I didn't get to it in a very usual way, FWIW)

People like Ramsey are always going to be weird. There’s a consumer affairs/budget guy named Clark Howard who has great advice, but is cheap to a fault. He had one old story about donating clothing to Goodwill and then buying it back the next week after they dry cleaned it because paying thrift store resale prices was cheaper than getting it cleaned on its own. I have no idea how that would work. Maybe dry cleaning was much more expensive and Goodwill prices were much cheaper 30 years ago. It’s a fine line between being thrifty and having a mental disease.

I think it's a real leap of faith to assume that they're dry cleaning anything. I had to do some community service about 20 years ago at a Goodwill that involved sorting clothes in the back. Anything that didn't have rat poo poo in the box just went to the floor.

This is pretty cool. I mean, it's making fun of gender reveal parties in a way right? Like, it's cool to have people over and drink alcohol on a farm.

Man even if it's not satire I feel better that it's actually for a horse. That poo poo just got creepier and creepier.

VA loves those sound systems because they can tell vets their hearing loss wasn't related to the service. Taxpayers rejoice!
