The Ramsey "personalities" appear on the show occasionally with Dave, and their lack of financial knowledge is obvious and embarrassing. I ignore Dave's investing advice, but I do enjoy hearing him talk about real estate. It's obviously his wheelhouse. When the time comes I will pay cash for rental property like he recommends.

My SO applied for a job at his company, before we knew anything about him. Last I knew of him, I had listened to his radio show about 10 years ago, nothing recently. Some things about the interview process seemed really strange...- There will be about 6 interviews- The last interview, we will ask you to bring your spouse and make sure they are ok with you taking this job and with the money we will be paying you.- At the last interview, we will ask that you and your wife share with us your budget and we will take an assessment and see if we have any suggestions that might help you two out, and make sure that our salary offer will not be something that will break you financially.- Every Wednesday there are devotionals that everyone goes to.I was at the point where I finally told my SO that I would not be taking part in this. Not only will I not be handing over MY budget BEFORE you even get the job, or ever, I will not be interviewing with them. Its hell enough to interview for your own job, much less someone else's.They wanted links to all of his social media accounts, and all he had was Twitter, but it definitely didn't look as though he were southern Baptist like Dave. A friend of ours told us about a website called glassdoor, and we looked at the reviews on there of the company... that's all it took, we were out. Strange how there were about 30 reviews that were extremely short 5 star reviews, and the rest were actually full reviews that showed, even if the reviewer liked working there, explained how it was... Very cultish, they say they don't have anyone work OT, but they make your OT "voluntary" and don't pay you. They let you flex your hours, but basically if you're a couple minutes late, they change your schedule, then the next time they fire you.Honestly, I read every single review, because it was like watching a train wreck. Then I went on to read all the news articles about him bringing a sword, then a loaded pistol, to a company meeting, all angry about whatever gossip he had heard about that wasn't favorable of him. Hacked into the facebook group where employees vented. It was truly surreal. All of this to say, if his advice is from the recent years, I would not be trusting it. He has obviously had a mental break after becoming wealthy.

^That shit is super illegal. Asking about marital status and financial information, and then making hiring decisions based on that information is definitely lawsuit fodder. IANAL, but I do work in the selection and assessment space and you named a bunch of pretty clear cut cases of breach of employment law. If you are still chapped about it, I would consider reaching out to a lawyer.
