Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Dave Ramsey is a joke. Anyone who knows the basics of personal finance knows he has no idea what he's talking about and gives advice that is downright statistically incorrect (e.g. his 8% rule nonsense).

Yes, and that's just the start. He preaches against bankruptcy, but he himself declared bankruptcy in 1988. He claims Christianity but has been sued by female ex-employees (one was fired for being pregnant by a guy she was not married to, another was fired for coming out as gay) and is a fully batshit insane covid denier.

And while he preaches this "nObOdY wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE" shit, Wikipedia lists his personal value at $55 million as of 2018, which, presumably, he would never have been able to get near if he'd repaid his own debts back in 1988 instead of declaring bankruptcy like the hypocritical fuck he is.
