Yeah good advice.
His reply would be "If you had a paid-for home, would you go out and borrow $360K on it today in order to invest it?"

If you have the ability to pay it off, that is exactly what you are doing by not paying it off.

When are liberals NOT mad at something? They have to be some of the most unhappy people on the planet.

I've heard the show and like Ramsey's common sense advice to not spend more than you make. I only wish I could take that advice myself.

Dave did not like many of BO's programs ..... the ACA, the stimulus bill, Cash for Clunkers.
I wonder what he thought of the GWB Great Recession and Trillion Dollar wars?

Actually, I don't.

Liberal and what you'd refer to as a "2 percenter" so no... not offended in the slightest.

No, even employer-provided health insurance that's partially employer-subsidized (almost all are, very few cover the cost 100%) is unaffordable if the premiums and deductibles are too high. Don't know where you've been, but many have complained about that since Obamacare skyrocketed premium and deductible prices.

Take his good advice and ignore the rest... Pay down your highest interest rate debt, first, and then work on paying down the rest? Sure! Don't live beyond your means so you don't have to rack up credit card debt? Sure! Just start there.

That stumps me. Honestly. How does it NOT violate common sense to... Rack up loads of high interest debt? Live beyond one's means, thereby adding even more perpetually revolving debt on high interest credit cards?

Really? Are people really THAT stupid?

They have to be unhappy, playing the victim card ensures they continue to vote for Democrats to “do
something about it.”

They really are the most helpless people in the country.
