  • Dave Ramsey Criticizes $80K Car Loan on Ramsey Show, Urges Debt Payoff Before Home Purchase
    January 18, 2026, 9:56 PM EST. Dave Ramsey slammed a 24-year-old caller's $80,000 car loan with $1,200 monthly payments during a recent Ramsey Show call. The caller, Noel from San Antonio, planned to invest in a multifamily property to build wealth but carried significant debt and underwater car value. Ramsey called the loan situation "insanity" and warned against rushing into real estate while owing $40,000 more than the car's worth. The car's $30,000 negative equity was rolled into the loan, co-signed by Noel's grandmother, raising concern over her financial risk. Ramsey and co-host Rachel Cruze emphasized personal responsibility and urged managing debt before investing. The dealership was criticized for approving the risky loan involving a senior co-signer.
