Responding to Dave Ramsey's Credit Card Arguments | Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast Dave Ramsey says, “No credit cards.” I say, “It depends.” In this episode, Justin Vacula reacts to a recent Dave Ramsey clip and explains how credit cards can be a smart tool for business expenses and travel. We get into the real math behind points and cashback, the psychology of spending, and why one-size-fits-all advice from Dave Ramsey misses the mark. You’ll also hear updates on upcoming meetups and events, plus a quick intro to tools that can help you track, optimize, and actually use your rewards.
