Summary

As consumers, we are bombarded with sales pitches and ads that play on our subconscious, which can cause us to make bad financial decisions if we’re not privy to these marketing ploys. On this classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson talks with author and financial expert Dave Ramsey about the marketing schemes that threaten our fiscal stability. He shares his experience of becoming a multimillionaire by the age of 26, and how he crashed and burned by the time he was 30. “We were foreclosed on, sued, and finally were bankrupt!” Dave also shares how he and his wife were given a chance to start over and how they received a new life in Christ after hitting rock bottom.

existence is not paid for and they don't get to stay. You know poor sales might have
