This week, Derick called into Dave Ramsey‘s live show, The Ramsey Show. Callers can speak with the author and financial advisor to get advice.
On The Ramsey Show, the financial advisor noted that he was getting a call from someone named Derick in Arkansas. As Derick began speaking to Dave, it became clear that Jill Duggar Dillard’s husband was calling in for financial advice. Derick explained that his wife had just published a New York Times Bestseller last month. He claimed that they had already started bringing in money from the book, including a $50,000 check on the book’s release date.
Derick went on to share more details about their financial situation, revealing that they are debt-free and that they were able to pay off their house. They also have a good chunk of cash in an emergency fund.

Eventually, Dave made the connection and realized who Derick was, noting he was familiar with the Duggars.
