Rachel has so many of Sharon’s mannerisms and she looks just like her. They’re like twins! Loved seeing them together.

So happy to finally “meet” Mrs Sharon. We hear about her most days on the Ramsey show and she is just as sweet as Dave describes her to be 🥰

I LOVED watching Sharon! What a sweet, soft but deliberate speaking, woman! So glad to finally "meet" this beautiful soul after following Dave Ramsey since 2017. What an incredible woman!

What's cracking me up listening while driving.
Minute 1: Oh, Sharon sounds like country fried Rachel.
Minute 30: Rachel has lost all vocal training, slipped back into full country

Sharron would be a great resource by doing a video about 'how to save money on groceries'. It could be a small series (4-6 episodes) of how to use your left over food and make new meals out of all it. Maybe a month of week by week - 4 weeks of meals, how to make it stretch and tips on how to do great cooking with leftovers.

The number of times my husband has told the kids "that's your mom's put it back" when we have a nice meal is crazy. He always makes sure I got a piece of the nice things before the kids have seconds.

Go Sharon! I could be a billionaire and I would still hate wasting food.

Long time listener, first time commenter - I've heard stories of the legendary Sharon Ramsey for years and this is the first time I've heard her in an interview! So fun, thank you for being a guest on this show.

Loved “meeting” Dave Ramsey’s bride today. After listening to him speak so highly of her on his show for the past 14 months and hearing him imitate her southern accent when he quotes what she would say 😂, makes one curious. Miss Sharon has been a big part of the success story there, it’s nice to finally see and hear her from herself. The Ramsey’s…family goals! 🙌❤️

I told my husband, I did not want the engagement ring on my finger unless it was paid off. We chose the house over an expensive ring or wedding. We have been married 8 years so far and I feel like we have a leg up.
