    I agree 100%. I know Dave Ramsey has helped a lot of people get out of debt. But there are times when he just misses the mark, not only politically but morally, and you're right to call him out for it.

    Totally agree with you Dana. Glad to see you are doing well. . I used to listen to Dave. I used his concept and also out of debt. I was really hoping he stayed out of politics but he didn’t . I can’t follow someone who claims has character and seems ok with someone who obviously lacks it. As a woman, as a mother and as a minority cannot choose to vote for someone like Trump. Voting for Democracy 💙

    Dana!!! So glad you had the courage to share your opinion, I agree 100%! I took the FPU course back in 2004, and have always shared Dave's babysteps, but I too, do not agree with his politics, which has made it harder to refer anyone to him these days. So nice to hear you're doing well and I truly wish you the best.

    It’s so good to see you!!! Dave Ramsey lost my respect when he didn’t hold Chris Hogan to the same moral code he holds his other employees to until he was forced to. His greed was on full display at that point. I haven’t been able to listen to him since. I still appreciate the financial advice he gives. If he had stuck to that focus, I think I would still be a listener. I’m really surprised he’s veered into politics now. Ugh.

    Considering aforementioned troubles, one was quite concerned things had somehow gone seriously bad, and making videos had become the furthest thing from your mind.

It can take a lot of courage in this political climate. I'll forever be grateful for Dave for being the first to open my eyes to my financial mess, but felt the need to stop listening to him long ago. Doing a take what you need and leave the rest approach these days. Hope we have the pleasure of hearing from you again soon. Life's a journey, and we're thankful you've granted us access to certain stops along your ride. Wishing you and yours all the best ❤🤍💙

    Oh yes, I am also very disappointed that Dave Ramsey went into the politics. even that he’s attempting to interview both of them. I understand that but still I’m like no I don’t. I don’t think it’s the best thing to do interview any of them.

    Funny, I was just thinking about you last week. I've been disgusted with Dave Ramsey for years now. I'm so tired of people claiming to be Christians and then living from the Old Testament and not the good news that Jesus brought to us. What courage you showed in publishing this! Best wishes to you and yours!

      Please explain what you mean about the old testament and the new testament? Thanks 😊

    • @yelyak
      @yelyak Годину тому +1

      @Melissa-Isaiah61BeautyforAshes As I personally see it, and this isn't the place for the topic really...Old Testament : Jewish laws and traditions like eye for an eye, reciprocal justice, transactional relationships.
      New Testament: God is Love and made manifest amongst us. Jesus' works and words taught love, courage, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, humility, morality: love God and love others. Look at people, real, living, breathing, hurting humans and help them, do not condemn them. Lead them to the Light with your Love and the Holy Spirit, not with dogmatic beliefs and rituals.
      So my comment was sort of like how Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and lack of focus on internal righteousness. They were very good at appearances: cleaning their dishes and making sure their cups were just right and following all the laws but their hearts were not where they should be. They took advantage of widows, sought after riches, and such.

    Hey Dana! Glad to see you're ok! :) I believe I discovered Dave Ramsey through you and I watched a bit of his show, but stopped because it became clear fairly quickly that some of the core values he pushed didn't align with mine and I didn't want to support that type of content. I'll gladly keep following you if you want to make slightly different content or want to talk about finances without centering Dave Ramsey.

    Wow... this was a surprise, but so very welcome. I was not surprised by Ramsey's interview and take on the situation, I think his support of Trump is very inline with everything else he presents tot he world. It is important to realize that he didn't "Create" any of this. He repackaged it, did a great job of marketing it and many people have benefitted by his doing so. But my mother did all the same things half a century ago. Thank you for coming on and speaking your mind and your heart.

Aside from that I do feel like as much as I believe in the baby steps Dave Ramsey is also just a person and you don't need to follow or agree with him and everything he says. I find his show very random and off the point at times as well. Looking forward to any content you may have for us! I do hope your family is happy and settled in your new home.
