Make Money and Avoid Bad Debt | George Kamel

from Travis Makes Money · host Travis Chappell

Meet George Kamel, a Ramsey Personality, personal finance expert, and #1 national bestselling author dedicated to helping you break free from the toxic money system and build real wealth. Since joining the Ramsey Solutions team in 2013, George has gone from a negative net worth and $40,000 in consumer debt to becoming a millionaire in under a decade by following Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps. As co-host of The Ramsey Show and Smart Money Happy Hour podcast, and through his popular YouTube channel, George educates and entertains with a snarky sense of humor, exposing the financial traps and lies designed to keep you broke. In his new book, George shares his personal journey and reveals how everyday people can escape the cycle of debt, cynicism, and hopelessness that’s become all too common in today’s world. He debunks myths like “student loans are the only way to a good job,” “car payments are just part of life,” and “you need a credit card to survive.” Through a millennial perspective, George exposes the pitfalls of credit cards, credit scores, student and car loans, mortgage mistakes, investing traps, and the relentless marketing that encourages overspending.
