Early life
Ramsey was born in Antioch, Tennessee, to real estate developers. He played ice hockey at Antioch High School. Ramsey started selling property at the age of 18, while attending college at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance and Real Estate.
Ramsey had amassed a substantial fund worth more than $4 million by 1986. However, when the 1989 Competitive Equality Banking Act came into play, several banks changed ownership and alerted him $1.2 million in loans and lines of credit because he was overleveraged. Ramsey was unable to pay and filed for bankruptcy in 1988.

The New York Times No. 1 was co-wrote and published by Ramsey, Cruze, with whom he co-wrote and published. In 2014, the first bestseller Smart Money, Smart Kids was a success.
He sold his custom-built home in the Nashville, Tennessee, area in 2021 after living there for more than a decade. In the area, a spokesperson confirmed that he was building another home.
Career
Ramsey's local church began giving financial assistance to couples. In 1988, he founded the Lampo Group, a financial consultancy firm, and in 1992, he wrote and self-published his first book, Financial Peace.
Ramsey debuted on radio station WWTN/Nashville in 1992 as one of three alternating hosts of The Money Game. Ramsey's three-hour call-in financial advice talk show became The Dave Ramsey Show, eventually becoming The Dave Ramsey Show.
Ramsey's nine-lesson, $129.99 video-based personal finance course debuted in 1994. The Gannett newspaper company carried his financial column, but it was terminated after they discovered that Ramsey had changed the names on the letters to which he was responding. He promised to pay them back. The Dave Ramsey Show appeared on Fox Business Network from 2007 to 2010.
Ramsey Solutions, Inc., was rebranded as Ramsey Solutions in 2014. The company's headquarters are located in Franklin, Tennessee, and a new 47-acre campus was opened there in 2019.
Ramsey has published five books for adults, three of which were New York Times bestsellers, and six children's books. In 2015, he was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
Ramsey advises listeners to first reduce debt by using the debt snowball system, where debtors pay first.
Ramsey has vehemently opposed the use of credit cards. He often takes out his wallet to show viewers the "only four pieces of plastic" he has: A company debit card, a personal debit card, a driver's license, and a concealed-carry license. Ramsey encourages the use of cash and advises families to use an envelope system, allocating a cash budget for each month's meals, entertainment, etc., then spending only what is in the envelope.
Ramsey encourages people not to take on student loan repayments, and dismisses the belief that student loans are necessary for college is "a myth."
Ramsey's main teachings have pointed out that they are often a "one-size-fits-all" strategy that denies income disparities and avoids financial crises. The debt snowball technique is often discussed, and studies have reported findings that support both support and criticize its effectiveness. Ramsey's investment recommendation has also been chastised for its reliance on stock purchase, as opposed to bonds, using mutual funds with load fees, and its regular forecast of 12% annual returns on investments.
Ramsey had lashed out against former workers who had been complaining about working conditions at the company on Facebook and Twitter in 2014. Ramsey allegedly recalled conversations with a private Facebook group of former employees that he had penetrated, ultimately giving cash rewards for those members who took to anonymous Twitter pages when they learned Ramsey had joined the private group. Following the incident, Ramsford's meeting with alleged opponents sparked more backlash, as well as the possible deletion of several of the key Twitter accounts.
According to a September 2021 lawsuit, Julie Anne Stamps, a Ramsey Solutions employee, approached her supervisor about becoming a lesbian in May 2020, but that company policy would not allow Stamps to continue to be employed at Ramsey Solutions. Stamps claim that her resignation from the company was expedited until the Supreme Court in Bostock v. Clayton County was found on June 15, 2020. Ramsey Solutions refutes the allegations.
Caitlin O'Connor, a former Ramsey Solutions employee, filed a federal lawsuit in July 2020 alleging that she was fired for being pregnant and that, since she wasn't married to the baby's father, she was fired for breaching Ramsey Solutions' labor laws, she filed a federal lawsuit. O'Connor appeared in 2021 for the first time on May 27, 2021, during which she worked for Ramsey.
"Things going on in my personal life... that are not in accordance with Ramsey Solutions" cited by Chris Hogan, a featured personality on March 10, 2021. During the Caitlin O'Connor case, Hogan resigned due to a request for his personnel file at Ramsey Solutions. Prior to the publication of his book Everyday Millionaires, Hogan confessed to numerous affairs, including one with a Ramsey Solutions co-worker before his marriage to wife Melissa Hogan. References to his book and videos are still available on the Ramsey website (as of August 18, 2021) and YouTube channels, although direct links to other company pages have been replaced by a redirect page.
Following the scandal probes, Religion News Service (RNS) obtained recordings of Ramsey mocking the policies, comparing Hogan's 2019 absence as a "rest break." Melissa Hogan, Chris Hogan's ex-wife, issued a statement to RNS claiming that the corporation downplayed Chris' behavior and portrayed her as "anger, hyperbole, and drama."
A lawsuit was lodged by the Franklin health department claiming that caterers hired for the Ramsey Solutions Christmas party at the company's headquarters were forbidden to wear masks or gloves while serving, which was later confirmed by the local NBC affiliate. Ramsey Solutions defended the allegation that there was no truth to it. Since employees tested positive for the virus, the corporation's refusal of plans to prevent large gatherings and staging a business conference in July, the Marriott hotel had dubbed the employee "safety worried."
Ramsey condemned face coverings and other COVID-19 precautions on his radio show and in staff meetings, calling them "a sign of worry." On his forthcoming live appearances on March 2, 2020, he mocked nervous ticket holders for his forthcoming live shows, calling any who wanted a refund a "wuss" and announcing that he will attend the forthcoming "Live Like No One Else" cruise "by my freaking self" if necessary.
Ramsey said on Fox News, "I don't believe in stimulus checks" because if $600 or $1,400 changes your life, you'd probably be well screwed already." "You have other problems going forward."
A former employee argued that Ramsey violated his religious rights by dismissing him after taking scientifically approved precautions against COVID-19 in December 2021. Ramsey ran a "cultlike" environment in which employees were feared of "weakness of spirit" and told to pray if they wanted to keep the virus off. Ramsey Solutions has denied all allegations and has said that the suit was "completely inaccurate."
