To draw an analogy to hunting, some of his advice is akin to an expert guide or hunter saying something like "the 6.5 CM is the only round you should use for [insert your animals here] hunting - don't even consider another cartridge!" That statement might actually be true - for a particular hunter, animal and/or situation. And if you follow the advice, you might have great results, and save yourself a lot of money, and time, that you might otherwise spend on alternatives and research. But it's definitely not true for all animals, all hunters and all situations. For those who would be fine taking that advice, more power to you. If you are willing to spend time on here and believe that the statement is overly broad and/or too simplistic, then consider whether the same applies to financial advice - from anyone. There are very few all-encompassing simple statements that apply universally. And it's not that much more difficult to get a bit more color - and probably easier and less controversial than the threads on here about the 6.5 CM and the wars that are fought over it.
I don't dislike Dave Ramsey anymore than I dislike someone on RS who takes a strong stance on something based on their personal experience. I don't have millions stashed away, and I'm not following anyone else's proprietary advice, but in full disclosure, I have spent time in school and at work learning (and giving advice) about finances.
