If you’ve recently found yourself thinking “I really need another new, fun reason to absolutely loathe Dave fucking Ramsey,” then I’ve got just the thing for you.
In a resurfaced clip from earlier this year that’s gaining new traction across social media right now, the financial “expert,” radio talk show host, and author that everyone loves to hate bestowed some extra nasty advice upon a caller who said she didn’t want to leave her kids any inheritance money anymore, because they’ve “turned into” a couple’a Woke “Socialists.”
Monique, from Bangor, Maine, called into The Ramsey Show positively stricken with uncertainty, despair, and depression as she looked to the man with more bankruptcy under his belt than hairs on his head for advice regarding leaving behind an inheritance for her two children who no longer align with her nasty political ideologies.
After claiming to have spent over half a million on higher education for her two daughters, Monique told Ramsey that she has reached a breaking point with her girls.
Explaining that her two daughters have ended up leading two very different financial lives — with one being firmly planted in the top 1% with her husband while the other is scraping by on a meager $50k a year — the caller said that she has long been divided on how she should properly divide her assets when she finally (finally!) dies.
But now, she doesn’t wanna give either one of them a dime because, dammit, they turned out to be good and decent people despite her very best efforts to prevent that!
“For several years I felt uncomfortable about how to divide up the assets,” Monique told Ramsey. “But more recently I've gotten to the point where I don't want to give either of them any money.”
“I feel like I've worked so hard my whole life,” she whined, before driveling on about all of the sacrifices she’s made for the children she chose to conceive, birth, and commit to raising, “I paid for college for them, I’ve paid over half a million dollars for college for them, and they’ve turned into socialists.”
Ramsey and his co-host immediately burst into laughter. Genuinely, ole Dave would not stop, apparently finding her woes to be the funniest shit he’s heard this decade and, frankly, I don’t think poor, pitiful Monique was super thrilled about that.
“I know we're all laughing,” she interjected, decidedly not laughing herself as Ramsey continued to guffaw, “but, frankly, I’m depressed. I’m very depressed about where I see my children heading.”
And, boy, did Ramsey do what Ramsey does best — and by that, I mean behave like an absolute pig of a useless human being: “You shouldn’t [feel terrible.] They’re not entitled. They didn’t hit the DNA lottery.”
He went on to declare that parents don’t owe their kids shit, before making her feel a little more validated by confirming that he also holds his children financially hostage with regard to the millions he’s amassed by being a tone-deaf asshole.
“If my children are going to be parasites, I'm not going to finance their lives,” he proudly declared.
As Monique attempted to question whether or not she could structure a trust so that her children couldn’t access her money until their 70s, when, hopefully by then, they had turned away from their evil Socialist ways, Ramsey quickly and, frankly, quite rudely shot back, “Then they’d just be a 70-year-old Socialist.”
But he did proceed to explain that an inheritance can technically be tied to any sort of bullshit nonsense you want to tie it to — just like he’s done for his own children.
Calling his fortune “God’s money,” Ramsey said of his own kids and their potential windfalls when he finally does us all a favor and leaves this earth: “If they’re not walking with God, they don’t get to manage God’s money.”
In case you hadn’t caught on yet, “God,” when referenced by Dave Ramsey in this context, really just means… Dave Ramsey. The man truly and honestly believes himself to be of God-status — which is crazy, because one would think God would at least give himself a hairline that wasn’t quite so unfortunate.
