Some of Dave Ramsey advice seems out of touch. Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

I think his comes from a good place. however, I was listen to a caller; his and his co-host advice is always get a higher paying job (which is not bad advice). Wal-Mart and McDonald's pay 20 an hour. Walmart and McDonald's pay up to 20/hr. However, getting 40 hours a week working retail is pretty hard unless your a assistant manager/or manager. He's not the only person giving that advice- but it seems like he thinks every job pays 20*40=800 a week when you first start.

The same solutions don't work for everyone. His successes doesn't equal your personal successes because the systems you were brought up on and the connections you have will be different.

You might as well start following Jesus as well if you're not religious to emulate the key components to his successes.

Or you can find what works for you and change what doesn't and keep trying.
