Powdered Butt Syndrome
I was listening to Dave Ramsey again, and a quote he said caught my attention:
Powdered Butt Syndrome: once you’ve powdered someone’s butt, you don’t want their opinion [about money].
Dave said it to a man who needed to convince his parents there was a better way to spend their money.
I laughed at hearing that, and recalled many conversations with my dad over the years about computers, considering that’s what I do for a living.
People would rather take the advice of a stranger than a family member with experience.
A friend pointed out that Jesus had the same problem.
