Along the way, a street vendor selling bottled water cheerfully yells 'Shut up, Dave Ramsey!' and credits the show with inspiring his side hustle for debt payoff. A fan letter from a military wife who raised five boys on a single military income and is pursuing a flight career debt-free closes the segment — she saw Dave but walked away without saying hello, feeling guilty about her over-budget trip.
A $1.7M-net-worth couple is losing $48,000 a year running a nonprofit cat café for their son with Down syndrome.
