Ramsey also offered a critique of a segment of these younger cohorts. He expressed his frustration, saying, "Then there's a segment of them that just sucks. They're just awful. I mean, their participation trophy, they live in their mother's basement, and they can't figure out why they can't buy a house because they don't work, you know, stuff like that." These are the attitudes and work ethic he perceives as problematic among the younger generations.

Dave Ramsey is the economics equivalent of JBP.

Giving out some basic bitch tips about paying off your credit card monthly, saving in an IRA, and avoiding long-term car notes. Then padding out his advice with bazinga brain nonsense like "Don't got to college", "Pay your kids a commission to do their chores", "Only invest in dividend yielding stocks", and "Become a slumlord the quick and easy way".

Just awful, soulless, and even-by-common-standards largely out-of-date financial advice that's stuffed to the brim with MLM ads and other scams, intended to play on your naive understanding of personal finances.
