Dave “I fire people that have sex out of wedlock” Ramsey? Who cares what that religious nut have to say?

Eat the rich.

I’m fine with just throwing them in a wood chipper, personally.

Feet first, of course.

AshMan85 ,

Would be ok with that too!

stringere ,

We could study the psychological effects of watching one’s limbs being fed into a wood chipper.

Y’know…for science.

They’re a joke, they literally produce nothing. O I made one number bigger. Congrats you’re a counter.

You aren’t working your way into home ownership in many cases unless you also work your way into a different locality as well.

I bought my small 2x2 condo for around 500k in 2020, it’s now worth ~800k. Housing inflation is out of fucking control.

Halosheep ,

I’m moving into a house (renting) soon, and the owner bought it 8 years ago for $185,000. It’s now “worth” over $400,000.

The only homes in that price range here are an hour away from where I work.

I know a karate instructor that just bought a 2br 2ba house for 40k, in Tucumcari new mexico

There is affordable housing out there, but you really have to search, and you have to be flexible.

I’m not saying there isn’t a shortage or that prices are inflated. The problem needs fixing.

Halosheep ,

Very true, if I could work remotely I could easily afford a good size home just a little out of the DFW area.

HaywardT ,

What if switched jobs, even to a different line of work. DFW, and all of metro Texas is pretty expensive.

I spent most of my career in Houston. We bought a lot of expensive houses and expensive cars. Honestly I never expected to live this long. I really wish I would have stashed money away to live the life I’m living now.

I’m a Boomer myself (born in 1964) and this maybe the first legitimate occasion I’ve had to say “Okay, Boomer.”

Out of touch.

Shyfer ,

Feels good, doesn’t it? 😂

AdolfSchmitler ,

God this guy is so out of touch

BreadstickNinja ,

I work 60 hours a week and had to move an hour outside the city to find a townhouse I could afford. And I’m one of the lucky ones.

reversebananimals ,

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.

Broadly, I wonder if these folks have no memory for how they were regarded.

The silent generation was broadly characterized as all being lazy beatniks.

The boomers were all characterized as being lazy hippies.

Of course gen xers, millennials, and z have all had their turn.

Every generation broadly bemoans the laziness of the young generation. I recall reading someone who sampled media going back to 19th century, repeatedly finding the “young folks are lazy” rhetoric that is always present.

TargaryenTKE ,

Some of the earliest Roman historians (like way, way back in the early Republic, before they even did any conquering) used to bemoan the laziness and ‘softness’ of the current generation compared to the past. Thinking the previous generations were better is a human tradition older than any other aspect of civilization

T156 ,

Socrates complained that the invention of widespread writing would make people lazy and forgetful, because they’d just write everything down, rather than remembering it orally.

I don’t know. I think most millenials are aware Gen Z got fucked the hardest. For the most part I think we all have a common enemy in boomers.

For the most part I think we all have a common enemy in boomers.

For the love of all that’s right, stop letting them divide us into camps, so that we fight each other, instead of them.

There are plenty of Boomers out there who don’t like the raw deal that the latest gens are having to deal with right now.

Not everything files into neat little category boxes.

Go fuck yourself dave

eran_morad ,

Yeah bruh, a 1500sf house in my hood costs $1.4M. You can get a tear down for like maybe $900K.

Railing5132 ,

Dave Ramsey is a shitheel. His attitude toward money is obsessive and not compatible with healthy relationships or families. I would not be surprised if he were to die completely alone and unloved.

melpomenesclevage ,

Or if he keeps talking like this in public; against a wall

TheObviousSolution ,

What he actually means:

They need to start taking out loans so I can continue to make easy money.

It’s people like this that have rotted our societies. They want all our wealth to be stretched out in easy to target debt.

I_Has_A_Hat ,

I get the need to shit on him, but you’re kind of revealing that you have no clue who this guy is. His whole thing has been pretty firmly anti-loan and pro-savings.

TheObviousSolution ,

Nobody is going to get their own apartment or home without a loan, at least not anyone whom this is directed to. I don’t know him, I don’t want to know about him, I’m only criticizing his message. If what you say is true, he also seems to be someone who contradicts himself as well because staying with family is a great way to avoid needless loans, costs, and liabilities that consumer culture tries to instill (specially when their parents get old enough to become extremely dependent and susceptible to scammers). Not only did I not know about him, but you are not painting a great picture of him if he seems to be that inconsistent.

Bakkoda ,

His philosophy is bullshit and hasn’t been compatible with the current economical climate in 20+ years.

I_Has_A_Hat ,

That’s fine, but saying he wants people to be in debt is kind of an absurd claim.

eskimofry ,

His own claims contradict his viewpoint and whatever the advice he is pilferring is to “move out and buy your own home”. Only way anybody with a normal wage can afford a home is via going into debt forever.

melpomenesclevage ,

Maybe they deserve some sort of wall?

You know, as a memorial?

southsamurai ,

I hereby encourage anyone encountering him to slam him as well.

Literally though. If possible, off the top of a cage and through a table, but at least a decent scoop slam.

androogee ,

Buh gawd

ArcoIris ,

Then Randy Savage breaks out the steel chair, right?
