It's troubling when people use mental health as an excuse, because it minimises those with serious problems. Furthermore, it encourages a state of learned helplessness over things that you can and should change. Wellness is not permanent, and some people have no choice but to get on with life, even when they are suffering. I can testify to that after a traumatic year. I have kept on writing, taken steps to get out of debt, and rebuilt my business, all while having serious bouts of depression.

Additionally, this girl is either too scared or too arrogate to look at herself in the mirror and make adult decisions.

This could be one of the best Dave Ramsey Wisdom Waterfalls (is what I call them) (I used to call them D. R. W. rants… but I don’t like the connotation👀😀✨)…. aaaanyway, I believe this is one of my favorite. Both of you had such great balance in that phone call. God bless you and yours. I’ve called.. no connect yet. But, I have faith. Thank you all so much. BDIII

ppl are using mental health as an excuse way to much now. went from not talking about it to everyone talking about it

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Once again, swung too far in the opposite direction. The same could be said for so many other 'movements'.

[@johnathanross6519]

Exactly. This stupid social trend of using false equivalents to excuse irresponsibility is asinine. Impulse spending and financing things you can't afford isn't even in the same ballpark as mental health.

Working full time at $40/hr is $83k, which is $5k per month after taxes. She can’t find a nice place to live making that? Either she is looking in the posh part of Vancouver or she ain’t working 40/week.

So true. Most of these people are going to do whatever ill-advised thing they called to get approval on anyhow.

Verizon is offering a free iPhone 13. I decided not to get it because of the tax & activation fee and I need to attack my student loan.

[@ytr8989]

Apartments are overpriced right now. I would wait and just pay off your student loan, like Ramsey suggested. You can still find an upstairs apartment, or maybe even a mortgage is lower than renting.

DR is straight to the point & has no filter, tells it how it is! The caller is shocked for “wellness”

[@bellachimmy6851]

This is why I watch Dave !!!!

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Even though I find this caller's behaviour inexplicable, I used to be that kind of person. And the ambivalence and excuses I made did enormous damage to my mental health. Dave Ramsey is absolutely correct: make a call and move on.

Having a career in helping people mentally is wonderful, but someone's "mental wellness" becomes such a loosely defined concept that's it's used for anything you don't like

Move to northern BC and you will make the same amount if not way more and find better housing for cheaper.
