Ramsey Solutions is also being sued by a former employee named Caitlin O’Connor, who claims she was fired for being pregnant and unmarried. The company had defended her firing, saying she was fired for having premarital sex, which company policy bans. In defending its policies, Ramsey Solutions has also claimed to have fired a total of eight employees since 2016 for premarital sex.

News of the O’Connor lawsuit led Inc. magazine to drop the company from its 2020 “Best Workplaces” list.

Ramsey personality and author Chris Hogan recently resigned from the company for violating undisclosed Ramsey Solutions’ policies. Leaders at Ramsey had long backed Hogan, despite concerns about his conduct.

Hogan, however, had admitted to having several affairs, including one with a fellow Ramsey employee, during his divorce proceedings without apparent discipline from company leadership.

Instead, after company officials became aware of Hogan’s infidelity in 2018, just before the launch of “Everyday Millionaires,” the company put together a “restoration plan” that would allow Hogan’s book tour to go forward. Parts of that plan included mandatory counseling for Hogan and his then-spouse, Melissa, and a request that the counselor and the couple’s pastor send regular reports to Ramsey and other company leaders.

After Melissa Hogan objected to that plan and the couple separated, Ramsey told employees that the couple was going through a “really nasty divorce” and accused Melissa Hogan of making angry and untrue allegations about her then-husband.

1. Another cult. Full of freaks.

2. Who?

[Demovictory9]

4. Eat "rice and beans", "deliver Pizza", to get out of debt guy, financial peace guy

[Buckeyeblue]

25. He has some good advice but a little debt is not the worst thing in the world

His message should be to be to live slightly below what you can afford. If you can afford a $150k house, maybe buy a $100k house. Same with cars. Low mileage used cars are generally better deals than new cars. I like the idea of having an emergency fund. Etc.

If no one had debt, I'm not sure we'd have much of an economy.

[Demovictory9]

26. some of his debt advice doesn't work in California... ie, the debt ratio for mortgage & buying with

cash.

Yeah, his followers in Kentucky can buy their $150K house with cash. doesn't work in the California market.

[redstateblues]

3. Right now he has someone on line to see if his employees

have said anything bad about him. His company is like a police state

[Demovictory9]

5. wouldn't be surprise if he's peeking in their windows at night

FREAK

[cinematicdiversions]

6. " The company had defended her firing, saying she was fired for having premarital sex,

which company policy bans"

What???? What???? seriously What The Fuck?????

Checks calender.... Seriously WTF...

[Demovictory9]

7. yep!! it's their official policy to get into their employees sex lives

[underpants]

9. I can't believe that's actually policy

They put that in writing?

[cinematicdiversions]

11. Exactly what is she a schoolteacher in 1880 Iowa? NT

8. He used to tell his viewers (on his Fox Buisness show)

to cut costs by buying a “beater car with lots of miles” to save money. So how often does a not-gently used car break down with expensive repairs. Doesn’t make sense.

Lots of churches bought into his debt reduction books. Of course tithing was a big part of that. Plus it brought lots of book sales from the churches. Better living thru grifting.

[Demovictory9]

10. he still does. He's on the radio 3 hours per day.

13. when I was a young Soldier

I wanted a car. I was a 23 year old E4 with no car, and that puts a crimp in your dating life.

Unfortunately, one of the Sergeants took me down to a lemon lot, and got me to buy a piece of crap. (He got a break on his own car to get me suckered in).

I think the car cost something like 4500 bucks. It wasn't even THAT old, an 87 I was buying in 93 but it was a piece of crap.

Within a year the engine needed replacing, and by the time it died for the last time in 2002, I would guess I probably paid 20K in repairs, for sure over 10K. I'd have been better off buying a new, or slightly used car. I would have saved more money ultimately.

A beaten car with lots of miles is bad advice.

[Wingus Dingus]

20. You're supposed to be putting the money you save from no monthly payments

into a fund to pay for your next newer, better car after your beater. My husband and I used to laugh at this advice. That "fund" of savings will most likely be used to pay for repairs when your beater doesn't start or leaves you stranded, and you will have less cash and no trade-in value for your next car. We did own old cheapo used cars, but they weren't our primary family vehicles.

12. I never knew of Ramsey's religious beliefs...

...but, even setting them aside, why would you take financial advice from anyone with such an irrational position regarding COVID?

[Happy Hoosier]

14. Don't work for religious nuts. NT

[rickyhall]

15. Fanatics

16. Do they fire divorced people who have married a second spouse?

Do they fire divorced people who have married a second spouse?

Jesus was very specific about divorce.

Most people who have remarried are committing adultery if the divorce did not meet Jesus' criteria.

[Demovictory9]

17. not sure if they would even hire a divorced person. Chris Hogan, Ramsey's heir apparent was forced

out over not keeping marriage together. it seems

[UTUSN]

18. Yip, sampled him when he first became a thing, figured out his advice as plain stay-out-of-debt,

then years later heard he was full-wingnut. And he had the same brutal tone as Laura SCHLESSINGER.

[Mopar151]

19. Not everyone can, or should, drive a "beater"

How long can you manage without reverse? I made it 8 months! A lot of mechanical experience and good connections at th junkyard help a LOT.

[dsp3000]

27. Agreed, but it CAN save you alot of money. Even a slightly used car will save a ton.

purchased our 07 in 09, and kept it through till now. not having a car payment for that long is money in your pocket. even a big repair here or there is the equivalent of a monthly payment or 2 on a new vehicle. Hoping to keep it till we need a bigger car with our kids.

21. As an employee, if you don't vote for Ramsey as the best company in Nashville

you're in trouble

[Lars39]

22. For those wanting an alternative...

Mary Hunt, Debt Proof Living is great. They both came out about the same time. She does good, he grifts.

[Demovictory9]

24. thank you for the tip

[TlalocW]

23. So my question is...

Is this just an extension of the whole Hobby Lobby birth control case, and is he protected under that?
