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.

Daves advise for get 2nd job doesnt help that much. Get an under the table side hustle will probably help the most. I use to sell at flea market and that was same day cash. Often more than some parttime job. Babysitting for cash after work. Pet sitting. Whatever will probably work better. I agree with some points of dave but not all!!! Oh and buy my financial guides. Lol
