    Let’s Talk: Finding the Right Path Out of Debt — Without the One-Size-Fits-All Approach

    In this episode, Steve Rhode — the original Get Out of Debt Guy — and Damon Day — the new Get Out of Debt Guy — open up an honest, thoughtful conversation about debt, forgiveness, and financial recovery. Inspired by Steve’s new article The Comprehensive Case Against the “Dave Ramsey Way is the Only Way”, this discussion isn’t about tearing anyone down. It’s about opening up the conversation. Dave Ramsey has helped millions of people, and his principles work for many — but as Steve and Damon explain, personal finance is never truly “one-size-fits-all.” This show invites listeners to think critically, explore all their options, and make informed decisions that fit their unique lives and values. Whether you’re following the Ramsey plan, considering bankruptcy, or somewhere in between, this episode encourages healthy questioning and balanced perspective — because good financial advice should empower, not shame.

    Can You Go to Jail for Credit Card or Loan Debt? The Truth About Debt, Fear & Scams

    In this episode, Steve Rhode (the old Get Out of Debt Guy) and Damon Day (the new Get Out of Debt Guy) dig into one of the most common fears people have about money: “If I stop paying my credit cards or personal loans, can I go to jail?” We separate fact from fiction, explain why debt misfortune isn’t fraud, and share the real consequences of missed payments. Damon introduces his “shoot the hostage” analogy about credit scores, Steve recalls stories from bankruptcy courts, and together they tackle the mental health toll of financial anxiety. We also expose how scammers pretend to be law enforcement to trick people into sending money, and why fear is the number one weapon used by both shady collectors and fraudsters. If you’ve ever lost sleep worrying about debt collectors, credit scores, or the fear of arrest, this episode will give you clarity — and a plan forward. 👉 Learn more at https://getoutofdebt.org 👉 Talk directly with Damon at https://damonday.com

    Should You Use Your 401(k) to Pay Off Credit Card Debt? The Math vs. The Emotion

    Is it worth pulling money from your 401(k) to wipe out credit card debt charging you 20% or more? In this episode of The Get Out of Debt Guy Podcast, Steve, the original Get Out of Debt Guy, and Damon Day, the new Get Out of Debt Guy, break down the real trade-offs. We tackle the emotional relief of paying off high-interest balances versus the cold math of lost compounding, penalties, and taxes when you tap into retirement savings. With credit card APRs climbing above 20%, and some people paying over $1,000 a month just in card payments, it’s no surprise more Americans are tempted to borrow from or cash out their 401(k). Steve and Damon debate whether raiding retirement accounts to pay credit cards ever makes sense, share horror stories of people who never put the money back, and explain why a strategic plan—not a panic move—is the only way forward. Learn about: Why a $10,000 401(k) loan today can cost you nearly $70,000 in lost growth over 20 years. What really happens if you lose your job while carrying a 401(k) loan. Smarter alternatives to tapping retirement funds, from side hustles to defensive debt strategies. When a 401(k) withdrawal might be the last option—and how to avoid disaster if you go that route. Don’t make a decision based on fear or a sales pitch. Separate emotion from math and protect your financial future. 👉 Visit https://getoutofdebt.org for more insights from Steve.👉 Work with Damon on a personalized plan at https://damonday.com

    Cost of Living Reality Check: Your Debt is Lava

    Prices are climbing faster than paychecks—and families feel the squeeze. In this episode, Steve Rhode (the old Get Out of Debt Guy) and Damon Day (the new Get Out of Debt Guy) break down the real-world cost pressures hitting households right now: cost of living vs. wages, shrinkflation at the grocery store, Instacart/app markups, rent and housing costs, electricity rising faster than inflation, insurance premiums, and high-interest credit card debt. We keep it plain-English and practical: why this is happening, how it shows up in everyday budgets, and realistic steps to protect your cash flow (cutting debt, smarter shopping, avoiding app markups, and building savings so your future isn’t on a treadmill). Plus, a candid chat about retirement math—why “$7,000 a month” won’t buy in 10–20 years what it buys today—and how getting out of debt sooner can change your entire trajectory.
