    Financial advisor Dave Ramsey Snow

    His advice on living within your means usually includes gratuitous torture porn. Yet he always forgets plot armor won’t protect you from financial mistakes.

      I haven’t actually directly consumed any of his content but from what I’ve gathered over the years it sort of feels like advice targeting addicts. The same way it may sound strange to tell someone to never ever ever drink a single drop of alcohol ever but it makes sense if you know they’re a recovering addict.

      But at the same time, there’s just some pretty bad advice too. Along with some common sense good advice.
