The Ramsey Show held its 27th annual “Giving Show” Monday afternoon, and Ramsey Solutions founder Dave Ramsey remarked on how special he finds the yearly program.
“This is a fun show. One of my favorite things to do ever is this show,” Ramsey said during The Ramsey Show. “Annually, we do a show on giving because we teach you if you live like no one else later, you can live and give like no one else.”
Dave Ramsey continued by noting the yearly show coincides with ideas he has shared for more than three decades on his nationally syndicated radio program.
“If you follow the things that we have taught you here for 30-plus years, you will follow a process that we call it starts with now. You have to take care of the now first, take care of your own household first or you’re worse than an unbeliever. Then, once we get past taking care of now, then we move on and we start taking care of you know the future,” said Ramsey.
“And then we say the future. Then we take care of family. We want to take care of changing our family tree out past our future into the future. And then we move on and we take care of community and the world. You start talking about people outside your family, outside your future. So, as your money evolves, your vision for what to do with it should evolve.”
Ramsey added generosity is a common trait in those who become financially successful because word spreads quickly about high-character individuals.
The Ramsey Show then took calls asking listeners to share their generosity stories throughout Monday’s program. Listeners to the program also helped a widowed mother of four make up mortgage payments so she wouldn’t lose her home. Other stories included a single mother receiving $2,500 to help cover Christmas, shoppers at a Kroger grocery store had their items paid for, and Ramsey Solutions employee Melissa seeing her salary continue to be paid after the mother spent three years fighting an aggressive form of breast cancer.
