Dave Ramsey says DO NOT file for unemployment, work at Amazon and deliver pizzas instead

[Hijo de luna]

Cliffs: Caller makes $25k per annum and believes he is about to be laid off. Dave's guest advises man to do everything he can to avoid UI. Dave agrees, says people need to get off their lazy butts and get to work. Advises man to work at Amazon during the day and deliver pizzas at night

You heard him brehs. The man who got his break into real estate using family connections to secure a million dollars in funding at the age of 26 said yall lazy and trifling for drawing unemployment during a pandemic

 

[keond]

He gives the worst advice

 

[Born2BKing]

Yeah make half the money you'd make sitting at home. Tough decision

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

A lot of nikkas SWEAR by Dave Ramsey though. And let's be real, if this was say, five months ago, you all would agree with him because I saw the exact same advice given here before. Y'all used to love promoting those sorry ass, exploitative gig economy jobs.

 

[humminbird]

go ahead and listen to that idiot

This guy went to another man that's not his dad and asked him an important financial decision

I swear if he makes another letter out to him saying he became an uber eats driver i will

Work like a dog at Amazon during the day, be tired then go and deliver pizzas and potentially fall asleep at the wheel.

Sound advice. Where do you find time to rest and recuperate?

 

[Standing on business]

Dave has been out of touch for a while now.

He went bankrupt about two years after amassing his "fortune". With that said, I understand his rational with the advice he gives. If were weren't in a pandemic, it would be solid advice, imo.

I think Ramsey is spot on about some things but off the mark on some others, like pretty much all financial talking heads. Find the advice you need at the stage of life you're in. Might be Ramsey when you're starting out, then Suzy Orman down the road etc.

But to the OP, I kind of agree with him on this one. We are about to go into a deep recession right now. I'd rather have a job that can meet my financial obligations than "cake" off a limited supply of UI.

EDIT: Worst time to be looking for a job is in a recession with large unemployment.

As a poor person who has received both government assistance and unemployment, working has way more "freedom" than getting assistance. Having a cap on the amount of money you can make, sucks ass. I remember a couple years back having to redetermine for food stamp eligibility, I was borrowing money from family to pay what's necessary, and they wanted to know the names and numbers of people I was borrowing the money from. I told them I was selling ass on craigslist and didn't know the people's names Unemployment is a weekly hassle as well. It's not worth it, unless of course you're bringing in more than your salary.

Nah fukk all that. That type of thinking is exactly why the middle class is dwindling. Typical 'Hard Work' mantra

[Knowledge]

Nah fukk all that. Take the government for all you can get out of em

 

[Threnody]

He needs to stop
