The core issue of our time is that different rules work better for different people, and the mechanisms for communicating, let alone accommodating, this are broken or outright forbidden.
The disciplined young welder from Arkansas who watches Ramsey doesn’t need Ramsey to tell him not to spend all of his money on a Disneyland vacation with his five children from three fathers. He doesn’t especially want to go there, and he doesn’t even have five children of questionable parentage to bring with him. If anything, he could stand to lighten up, put his salary into the Dow, and refinance his debt at a lower rate. It’s a simple process that’d leave him massively better off, and he’d learn it readily if someone taught it to him.
But, are there no people out there who need to hear that bringing their five fatherless children to Disneyland with $5k in credit card debt is a bad idea? There are countless such people. So we can’t say that Ramsey’s advice is useless. There are millions of people who would be better off if they took it. Our young welder sees them, assumes that they could be him but for the grace of God, and attributes his having averted that fate to his regular viewing of Ramsey. He cannot imagine how different they are from him.
The crux of it is that the people who watch Ramsey are the people to whom responsibility and honor come naturally, and who would never even consider spending $200k in scammed VA benefits on fudge rounds and a subsequent quadruple bypass. The people who are spending $200k in scammed VA benefits on fudge rounds and a subsequent quadruple bypass would never even consider watching Ramsey.
