His argument fails. Whether someone has other issues going on or not is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that for some people $600 could be the difference between having their utilities shut off and not having them shut off."I don't believe in a stimulus check because if $600 or $1400 changes your life you were pretty much screwed already. You got other issues going on."
His message to viewers: If you're not already rich, you're screwed.
Dave Ramsay is not wrong when he says that. If $600-$1,400 changes your life, you do have other issues going on.
If you understand his complete body of work, you'll know why he says that. I disagree with him on a few things relative to ones' financial well being but he's on the money in this argument.
That's for sure
The argument Ramsay made was whether it will "change your life".
Not whether you can make a monthly payment or not.
