  • Dave Ramsey criticizes corporate impact on young homebuyers amid rising debt and housing costs
    March 21, 2026, 10:27 AM EDT. Dave Ramsey, host of 'The Ramsey Show,' warns young Americans are increasingly shut out of the housing market due to record-high consumer debt and economic pressures. Speaking on FOX Business, Ramsey highlighted soaring car, student loan, and credit card debt, which reduce disposable income necessary for homeownership. He blamed 'Corporate America' for worsening these conditions.

Despite the hurdles, Ramsey urged younger generations to aggressively manage and eliminate debt, stressing that homeownership remains achievable for those who take financial discipline seriously.
