    How so?

    I have read his books or at least glanced through them

    He's a snake oil salesmen proclaiming the same personal finance management my parents and their parents before them have told us from the depression...

    Cash is king and live within your means.

    My fiance and I are both recovering from spouses who would not listen financially.

    So keep your Dave Ramsey message for the next guy.

    I am not going to give him a dime. THAT'S how you make your life better.

    Dave Ramsey is not a snake oil salesman. He openly tells his radio audience he only teaches what is common sense or "what your grandmother does". I was raised on what he teaches and knew it but only started applying after listening to the show over 10 years ago and being inspired by it. Never once bought anything of Dave's or his sponsors that I know of. He's an entrepreneur at worst and one that changes lives in a positive manner getting rich in the process at best. But definitely not snake oil salesman.

    So... Getrdone buys a Mack, then drops off the face of the planet?
    Getting a Mack is usually bad news, but that seems extreme.

    Well...
    It has been a year. Gitrdone has not updated. We can only assume that he has gone to the great beyond. Where most of us will be someday. Just we will not have done so, in such a presumably horrible manner. Herewith... The eulogy.

    Gitrdone was a kind man. Spent his maintenance holdings on then families health. Fell on hard times and did not (or could not) borrow to make needed repairs.
    The newer ailing Peterbilt was replaced with an older Mack. Just thinking about that causes an involuntary shudder. We all know what happens next.
    Driving down the road the hood ornament bulldog turned his head around and winked at the driver. Immediately the engine died. Staring at the the canine sphincter caused a vortex to open and Gitrdone was transported to an alternate universe, where Mack's are the truck of choice, and no one, can ever, get-r-done.
