9: Are you Falling for this Dumb Money Mistake? The Truth About Dave Ramsey's Budget

🎙 In part 2 of my 3-part deep dive series, we’re taking a close look at the percentage based budget method, particularly the one recommended by Dave Ramsey. It’s a super popular method of budgeting household income because it’s quick and simple, and Ramsey himself is really popular. But it isn’t perfect, in fact it has some pretty big holes. So are your dreams worth gambling on this method? 🤔

This episode discusses topics like:

🌟 Why Dave Ramsey’s percentage based budget won’t make sense for you (and why he isn’t always right);

🌟 How to create a percentage based budget that actually works for your unique circumstances; and

🌟 Which 5 types of people who should avoid percentage based budgets altogether.
