I've stumbled across this guy called Dave Ramsey, and after a bit of digging around, I saw that he has many videos preaching about getting out of debt, investing in mutual funds, Roth IRAs, 401ks, budgeting, saving $100 a month for 40 years, saving for emergency funds, blah blah blah. He even has a book called 'Baby Steps Millionaires' which talks about investing and reducing debt and expenses.

It's so ironic because I believed in all that crap when I was younger, I feel sorry for the people who actually follow his advice. While reducing debt and expenses is good advice, it's so obvious that he's trying to appeal to the masses by selling the same old idea of investing. And literally all of his comments on his YouTube videos are people supporting his ideas, falling for this fantasy hope that it will make them rich.

MJ DeMarco and Dave Ramsey are literally polar opposites, and I think I know which side I'm on.
