He said his core principles, like staying out of debt and spending less than you earn, have stood the test of time and are \"biblical financial principles.\"\n\"I'm a whole lot blunt, more blunt than I used to be, and I probably got less patience,\" Ramsey said. \"I got less patience with somebody who wants to be broke and stupid and argue about it. So that's why I reach over on Twitter occasionally and just knock the crap out of somebody just because it's fun, just fun. ‘Oh, but you're thin-skinned.' I'm not thin-skinned.\"\nTrending: $100k+ in investable assets?

He also reminded listeners that he was once broke and understands what it is like to struggle financially.\n\"All of us have to look up and say, ‘I’ve had enough, that’s it, I’ve had it, I’m not living like this anymore, I’m done,'\" Ramsey said. \"That happened to me when I went broke because I was stupid, I mean, I got a PhD in DUMB. I’ve done stupid with zeros on the end.
