Of course it is high pressure. They give you tidbits of info that sound so good but what they really want is for you to buy their expensive useless program. Many times they stand at the door and stop you from leaving before a sales person has the chance to grab you.
Now for some reality. Have ya heard? We are in a deteriorating depression. How can the average American save 10% of everything they earns as Ramsey and others preach? The vast majority of Americans can't afford to feed their families, how they going to save and invest. These are times of survival.
Enough preaching. Don't bother going unless you are very strong and know how to say no to pressure you have never experienced. And in the end...why go if you ain't going to buy? You can buy his books on line cheaper then at the show.
I've found his books at used book stores like half price books.. etc and on amazon or half.com for way less than they sell them for and they're like brand new. I've read his books and agree with most of what he says, but I guess my wife doesn't agree with his method so it takes 2 to tango. I don't know much about the events, but like someone else said above, if it's for free, it's most likely some sort of "sales pitch".
I think his method is the very best and fastest way to get out of debt, and he cuts through the BS (unlike Orman.)

Two points:
1) Ramsey is not high pressure at all and I think the one time I attended, all he had for sale were some books. And his radio show is available free over the air and some hours are available FREE by steaming over the internet.
2) There are a lot of people who save 5-10-20% of their income. And many of the people who can't do it during the hard times, could not do it a few years back when the economy was in hyperdrive. It is only done when people put a priority on it.
3) Stop the hyperbole. The overwhelming majority of people are feeding their families. It may take some sacrifice (is that a permissible word in this era?) but they are getting it done.

All the unemployed, the under employed and those who lost their homes through no fault of their own in these depression times all congratulate you on your success in life.
