I disagree. His advice applies to the poor also, assuming they are poor who are capable of working and willing to take action to change their status.
As for helping the overspending middle class: Heck yeah! That's why I'm listening. He's already helped us stop overspending, and I see potential now to rise above middle class. Maybe all the way to UPPER Middle Class!
I disagree with your "nothing but" qualifier. He show and his planning stuff give pretty much exactly the same advice, and that is his business, so yeah.
Take the promotional content out of one of his one-hour show segments, and you're left with about 20 minutes of usually interesting or motivational calls and advice. So I'll go with 2/3 advertisement for himself and for sponsors.
That's why I go with the podcasts. 30-second skip isn't just for DVRs!
Of course, in another sense, just like every song on the radio is an advertisement for the artist, every piece of advise he gives that helps or motivates someone is an advertisement for his stuff, so in that sense, sure, all of it is, just like just about anything else anyone does in media.
BTW, I saw him live over a decade ago in NYC. It was a very entertaining show, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Oh man, I wish I had.
(and I don't think he asked my income before letting me in....)

I tried to look at his website and at that time, it wouldn't let in those under $50,000.
I hope it has changed since then.
I am glad his program is helping you, but I must confess a bit of surprise. I didn't figure you would need his help. I thought you were always wise.
As to the media and advertising, that is how most radio and tv talk shows are.
Don't ask me about Kim Komado. She is a fabulous hawker.
Silly question: on the NYC show, did you have to pay to get in?
