  1. Links to news stories from...

I've been sick of him from the first moment I met an adherent. I mentioned how I like to avoid debt and pay it down early and the person said "Oh, so you listen to Dave Ramsey?" I confessed to having no idea who they were talking about, and they swore that I was being obtuse because I couldn't have come up with "interest sucks" on my own.

Those who are undereducated often can’t imagine that people can be truly brilliant.

Interest bad is far below brilliant

I guess we could be grading on a curve of people that view Ramsey as brilliant...
