The danger of Putin's rule in Russia
Vladimir Putin, a kleptocratic leader, has been criticized for his authoritarian rule and corruption. His regime is known for suppressing political dissent and resorting to violence against opponents. The recent suspicious death of Alexei Navalny only adds to the concerns about the lack of democracy and human rights in Russia.

They prioritize self-care and daily indulgences rather than following Ramsey's advice to live debt-free. They view the older generation's lectures on money management skeptically, given the differences in financial circumstances.
