Back in high school, I had a class where all we did was watch Dave Ramsey.
I don’t remember what the class was supposed to be, but that class has helped me out quite a bit.
Most people in my class probably ignored it, and we all thought it was kind of stupid at the time, but I am glad I actually paid attention.
I’ve made it a point to save as much as my income as reasonably possible, but a bad girlfriend (now ex) did take advantage of it for a bit.
I have been building a decent chunk of saving and currently work an “essential job” making $11 per hour, so I’m going okay for now.
