Dave Ramsey Approves $52,000 Knight Rider Replica Splurge
Original: 'You Can Afford $52,000 Worth of Wasted Money': Ramsey to Debt-Free 49-Year-Old Eyeing a Knight Rider Replica
Personal finance personality Dave Ramsey told a 49-year-old caller, who is debt-free, that spending $52,000 on a replica of the KITT car from the 1980s show Knight Rider is within his means, quipping that he can afford that much 'wasted money.' The exchange is drawing attention for Ramsey's unusually permissive stance on a frivolous purchase, as long as the caller's finances are otherwise in order.
Why now: Ramsey's rare approval of a big fun purchase for a debt-free saver makes for an eye-catching personal finance moment.
