In this audio-remastered episode, Justin Vacula critiques self-proclaimed financial expert Dave Ramsey's views on credit scores and debt.

Vacula argues that Ramsey's negative perspective on credit is misleading and fails to acknowledge responsible credit usage. Justin explains how individuals can use credit cards wisely to build their credit scores, earn rewards, and save money without falling into debt paying interest.

Vacula emphasizes the benefits of leveraging credit for various expenses while debunking Ramsey's claims about the necessity of avoiding credit entirely. The episode encourages listeners to utilize credit responsibly to enhance their financial well-being.

This episode is a response to The Ramsey Show Highlights’ video ‘How to Improve Your Credit Score Without Debt’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k0ObI4OBbY&t=0s)
