I don’t mind his religiosity, though I always am a little confused when he ends his segment saying something about Christ Jesus. I always thought it was Jesus Christ, but I’m pretty uniformed about religion. He also assumes that everyone is going to tithe 10% of their income, even if they are completely in debt. Okay…but not all of his listeners are religious, so?
Having listened for so many years, however, I get it. Attack your debt as your all consuming purpose, and you can get that burden out of your life. Yes, even student debt is bad debt, get rid of it. I agree. I have known people who are totally weighed down by the constant burden of debt, and the fanatical desire to shed it, and a formula to do so, is what Dave provides to them. It’s hard to get to the point where you are obsessed with paying off debt with such intensity without a cheerleader and guidance, and I think it strikes a chord for people drowning in debt Nothing wrong with that.
