But not personally. You pay those marked up prices no matter what. Plus, even cash isn’t free to a merchant. There’s security, handling, and theft costs associated with cash they don’t incur with credit cards. 

I rarely get hit with some sort of CC surcharge, so everyone is paying the same amount I am whether they pay cash or use credit. If I go to a store and there is no CC surcharge, I pay with a CC and you pay with cash I get cash back and you don’t, even though we paid the exact same purchase price. Who wins in that…

You brought up the exact reason I don’t like camping and don’t like RVs - you could just stay in a hotel instead for the same or less money.

he hates credit writ large: thinks if you can buy a house cash, instead of taking out a mortgage, you should do it... which is just about the dumbest fucking financial advice one could possibly dispense.

Dave Ramsey is a boomer tool.  He friggen hates credit cards--even for those that are able to control their spending and take advantage of the protections and potential rewards/benefits they provide.  Plus, he thinks 15 year mortgages are actually a realistic option; when it absolutely isn’t given today’s wages and…

“No matter what car you put kids in, it’ll end up a Kid Car, with all the accoutrement that entails. It’ll be filthy, it’ll smell weird, and you may not much enjoy your time spent behind its steering wheel.”

I’m of the opposite opinion. No crank can mean thousands in engine repairs or replacement. Crank/no start is the better of the two situations. My friends and I have gotten many deals over the years on late model and classics that are crank/no start situations and it’s always been something relatively easy to fix…

I like the cut of your jib!

If I ran a giant corporation I would totally gouge my customers if I knew everyone would blame the president instead of the corporations for inflation.

This should surprise absolutely no one. His entire platform is based on lies and misinformation. This is why he loves the poorly educated. They can see a meme with the all caps word FACT and will instantly believe it and never fact check anything. They have been tricked into never reading the news and just trusting…

“exactly what Trump and his ilk accuses the other guys of doing”

Tesla “has agreed to pay $1.5 million” for their dumping.

“Would you believe this halal restaurant wouldn’t let me bring in my own beer!?!?!?”

I am siding with the school on this one. It is not a public school - it is a private school with membership.
