I did their plan to get out of debt, and it worked for us. This was many years ago before the "Ramsey personalities".
I stopped listening after that. His advice for getting put of debt was practical, but beyond that the investing advice was useless and actually cost me in the long run.
The Ramsey personalities also made the whole show feel a lot more culty. Hearing them repeat his whole stick gave me kool aid drinker vibes.
I would listen to their advice of getting out of debt but thats it. It does work. Its not the only way to do it and mathematically their are better ways, but it does work.
Yeah I read the total money makeover book awhile back and used its principles. I don't really watch Ramseys show at all. Delony's is all about mental health and he's as pro an expert that exists in that space. So I find his shows really interesting and full of practical advice.
