Early life and education

Cruze was born and raised in Tennessee, one of three children born to author and radio host Dave Ramsey and his wife, Sharon Ramsey. She was raised in an Evangelical Christian household. Cruze attended Brentwood High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from the University of Tennessee.[8]

Career

Cruze has been cited on how to save for purchasing a home.[9] She advocates using debit cards instead of credit cards as a way to control spending, and to never spend beyond one's means, which "requires a discipline and a mindset that often goes against the grain of our instantly gratified society," she said in an interview in the Kansas City Star.[3]

Cruze has appeared on Good Day L.A.,.[10]
