[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 746169, member: 1550"] Newstart, what we k ow intellectually does not always work its way i to our real lives, sadly. Years ago before technoligy, I worked for a medical answering service and we got to know a lot about our doctor's personal lives. It was often astounding. Our most popular and busiest psychology group was a MESS of dysfunction. The senior Psycholigist left his wife of thirty years for a very young collegue, also in the group, and his wife called us constantly to leave a message for him which was usually "Eff you!" On top of that we had to tell him his wife called, although not the message, but he acted no saner than an average Joe going through his own divorce and vented about her to us in most colorful language. You'd have thought with his training he would have said "Thank you. Anything else?" Nope. And his job is to help unstable people. On top of that another collegue of his acted very unprofessionally and told us he was tired of Dr. B's wife showing up at the office and causing scenes and also he told us Dr. B. and girlfriend were always high on cocaine. They did not learn this in school. A Psychiatrist, unrelated to these psychologists, and our busiest one, did not tell us anything inappropriate but a nurse who worked at the nearest psychiatric hospital (we talked to and got friendly with hospital petsonnel too) told us that this esteemed doctor's daughter was in and out with severe anorexia and that his son had been in the hospital for over a year although she didnt say why. Should the Psychiatrist who finished medical school have able to learn how to raise stable kids and apply what he knew to his family? I think facts are facts and that your personality takes over the facts. We all learn things that we cant always do. Your daughter knows all about finances. In the end she wants her stuff and she wants it sometimes before she can afford it. So her wants take over her knowledge. She isnt alone. Dave Ramsey works for you because you want what he espouses. Debt is not something you want to deal with so you adjust your life not to have it. But if you didnt really care if you had debt, he could talk in your ear all day and you still wouldnt do it. People do what they want. Some are more pragmatic than others. Greed is very much an American trait. Many people would be horrified to have rented and not owned, like we often did. Many pay a mortgage for a fancy car. My head asks WHY???? We are all different. [/QUOTE]
