I can't imagine having an audience the size of Dave's and explaining inflation like that. Inflation is not the price of goods and services increasing, it is the purchasing power of the fiat (govt) currency decreasing. The increase in prices is the symptom of the disease....not the disease itself. Govts around the world devalue their currencies for a number of reasons, but it really ends up being a hidden tax on the lower classes. Wages (in general) can't keep up.
What are you talking about. "The purchasing power of fiat decreases", in non jargon speak what does that actually mean? It means it buys less goods and services right? Aka prices (for whatever reason) have gone up making your dollar worth less. So inflation indeed means prices have gone up. That is the definition understood by everyone and those in finance.
@@davidp2981 Dave is referring to the products that are used to calculate the CPI. In reality though Peter is right, with inflation the prices of all goods and services are going up. The CPI doesn't account for a lot of very relevant categories to make the official rate of inflation seem much lower than actual inflation.
I love Ramsey and what he's done for the financial world. But he has taken such hard lines on his stances that he leaves no room to adapt if the world around him changes.
He gives solid safe advice. Fact; more people have lost money in high volitility investments than gained. If you are debt free and able to save 15% of your income and still have extra cash, then yes, go try something high risk. But these RH investors that bought Doge at .70 because it's going to the moon are the ones that suffer. Buying high and paper handing on the drop is what most are doing.
Holding cash is crazy now considering how much everything is going up and this is only the start. All the respect in the world for Dave and he knows a million + times more than me but I have zero regrets about tossing some of my money in metal
You’re missing the point. It’s not about investing. It’s about where to store your emergency fund. Emergency funds are for that… Emergencies. You can invest in whatever you want but just make sure that you have an emergency find in cash because when there’s a correction, or recession, you’re gonna be thankful you had something you could access.

People are making dumb investments to hedge inflation BUT Dave doesnt see what’s coming. I understand that he can’t panic his listeners but should at least mention that people need to diversify out of the US dollar
Yes, and having mutual funds with companies all over the world does that. As does having real estate. And if you’re seriously worried about the US crashing you need solar panels, a well with a pump, seeds, chickens, pigs, tools, guns, ammo.
You might assume in hyper inflation that your home loan would become worthless and you could pay it off with a few bills out of your wheelbarrow full of cash. Well, in Germany during that time, the banks recalculated the loans under the new currency. This is why it's important to pay off your loans. It will always be more important to keep the banks in business even if it means screwing people over and rewriting loans without your consent. Inflation normally means the value of debt goes down while your income goes up. But there is a limit. You don't want to be holding debt if hyperinflation hits.

@@ddfamf88 He is very wrong because he is telling people not to even attempt to protect themselves against the inflation we are seeing now, and inflation we will see in the future. The dollar is a piece of paper created by central banks in our country. It has lost something close to 97% (or more!) of it’s purchasing power since 1913. Hence, you could buy a bag of candy for $0.01 in 1913, and in 2021, a bag of candy is $1-3. So if someone saves currency, it loses its value over the years due to the federal reserve printing trillions of dollars every year. It’s idiotic to leave your personal life work and savings in something that is being devalued. Buy precious metals and protect yourself from currency printing.
@@freetoplaypker6509 the saddest story I think I saw was a woman who kept all her savings in CASH in a "safe deposit box" and ended up looking at it 20 years later only to find it EMPTY!!

He's not saying invest in currency as a hedge against inflation. The emergency fund is an emergency fund, not an investment. The point of the emergency fund is to be cash at the ready for emergencies: an immediately accessible _nominal_ value in case you lose your regular income. Inflation is the price you pay for the quick accessibility of that nominal value. You do not change the asset character of the emergency fund to an asset that is less readily accessible, because accessibility is the only purpose of the fund. The emergency fund is three months of expenses. It's not the nest egg. If "currency debasement" of three months of expense money has a significant effect on your overall net worth, then by definition you are poor and spend waaaaay TF more than you should on monthly expenses. Or you live in Weimar Germany in the 20's. Or you are a financial illiterate.

Dad am I getting good at regurgitating your horrible advice? Dave would lie & his daughter would swear to it. Watch Catherine Austin Fitts & Bill Holter.
He says the best counter argument to his own position. He states both the South's printed money and Iraq's bills with Saddam became worthless, yet if you used either of those currencies to buy gold, your gold would still have value in another currency. No one is trading gold bars for items when a government fails. But, those people can sell those gold bars when the situation starts to stabilize for the new currency that is taking over.
Well, if you'd read his material, you'd know that $1k is *ONLY* a starter emergency fund for ppl starting to get out of debt. It *IS NOT* what he recommends for a real emergency fund. Later in his baby step program, he teaches ppl to build 3-6 months worth of expenses as their emergency fund. Then, once you get through the rest of steps, you can always add more. Dave has YEARS worth of expenses tucked away in his emergency fund. So it's actually taught as an ongoing thing, not something to be content with at $1k. And, he never teaches to permanently stop at $1k.
If you plan on it taking you 5-10 years to pay off your debt, then no it's not enough. But if your on Dave's plan and get your debt paid off in 12-24 months, then 1,000 usually will be a enough for that short amount of time. Most emergencies are not that expensive, but you want to get out of debt as soon as possible so you can raise that 1k to 10k to cover the big stuff.
Yeah emergency fund should be cash and stable. But these people have terrible views on actually investing. “When it comes to investing we think you should do mutual funds and retirement vehicle like Roth IRA, 401k, 403b, etc” Whaaaaat? Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. I cant believe i used to think dave ramsy was so great. Great for getting out of debt. Terrible for everything else like building wealth.
What is terrible about saying that people should invest in mutual funds instead of individual stocks, and should invest using retirement vehicles like IRAS and 401ks? I don't agree with Dave on all of his investing advice, but this is pretty plain vanilla, good advice.
@@alquinn8576 Oh, I agree with you on that. Index funds are the way to go - low expenses and much better performance overall. But Miyagidojo had a problem with the advice to use mutual funds (which could be index funds or managed funds) and to use retirement vehicles.
You shouldn't invest your emergency fund. That should be in cash for ready use. If you're worried about inflation, you should invest in Exxon stock with the money you have beyond an emergency fund and you have the ability to invest.
To all the naysayers he is answering a question about an EMERGENCY FUND. If you have extra money after all of your baby steps do what you want to. Invest in Blockbuster if you want to. They still have one store open.

3:20 Isn't buying hedge funds because of fear of inflation the same thing? Hedge funds will do great when more accounts pile up in companies' ledgers. Without people's fears and judgements, there would be no business.
I bought rare coins many years ago, held them for about 20 years and then sold them for a 40% LOSS. I calculated the return I would have gotten if I put the money in an indexed fund. I almost wept when I found I could have made a 400% return!
My in-laws did the same thing. I was finally able to help convince them that mutual funds will much better serve their needs. Sorry to hear you were also bamboozled. Hope you can recover, best of luck.
Rainy day fund is for rain only. The money needs to be liquid and accessible. In case Timmy has an accident on his bicycle, that's what the money is for.
They don’t get gold to spend gold. The argument is that they get it at todays rate so that later when they cash it out they get the amount it’s worth then- the inflated price. Then they have cash again to spend. Cash. Not gold. That was a long tangent you made about spending gold (wild west) that was not needed nor the point.
No that is not what he is saying at all. He is talking about putting your 3-6 month emergency fund into cash. Because it's an emergency fund which is not an investment. Anything in excess of the emergency fund gets invested in stocks.
So what's the answer to hedge against inflation? He mentioned buying stocks in things that go up during inflation but at the same time said not to buy them. What about VTI ETF?
No mention of currency debasement? The purchasing power of your $ (ie what you can buy with it). Lol inflation by definition is the expansion of the money supply not prices going up. We are having both at the moment. The guys is a lol
Genesis 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in GOLD. Over 360 references to gold in the King James Bible. Apparently, David Ramsey doesn't believe in the Bible?

I remember running up to the 2008 crash dave was saying the same thing and he was wrong then and now.
You can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
You would of made more money investing instead of metals as price history shows, just like he's explaining.
Next call.... high my names Michael from Scranton. Should I join another MLM?
He says the best counter argument to his own position. He states both the South's printed money and Iraq's bills with Saddam became worthless, yet if you used either of those currencies to buy gold, your gold would still have value in another currency. No one is trading gold bars for items when a government fails. But, those people can sell those gold bars when the situation starts to stabilize for the new currency that is taking over.
$1000 is not enough for an emergency fund today. It's not 1997 anymore.
It wasn’t in 1997 either. It has never been enough, it was never designed to be enough.
I personally think enough to cover a transmission repair, is a good move.
Well, if you'd read his material, you'd know that $1k is *ONLY* a starter emergency fund for ppl starting to get out of debt. It *IS NOT* what he recommends for a real emergency fund. Later in his baby step program, he teaches ppl to build 3-6 months worth of expenses as their emergency fund. Then, once you get through the rest of steps, you can always add more. Dave has YEARS worth of expenses tucked away in his emergency fund. So it's actually taught as an ongoing thing, not something to be content with at $1k. And, he never teaches to permanently stop at $1k.
Need more like 3000 or 5000
If you plan on it taking you 5-10 years to pay off your debt, then no it's not enough. But if your on Dave's plan and get your debt paid off in 12-24 months, then 1,000 usually will be a enough for that short amount of time. Most emergencies are not that expensive, but you want to get out of debt as soon as possible so you can raise that 1k to 10k to cover the big stuff.
What does Dave have against walk-in bath tubs and Snuggies? 🤣
6/5/21....THEY make him feel OLD!
Her husband is Dwight Shrute and he has invested in beets!
Yeah emergency fund should be cash and stable. But these people have terrible views on actually investing.
“When it comes to investing we think you should do mutual funds and retirement vehicle like Roth IRA, 401k, 403b, etc”
Whaaaaat? Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. I cant believe i used to think dave ramsy was so great. Great for getting out of debt. Terrible for everything else like building wealth.
King for getting out of debt. Period. And literally period. Look for someone else on investing front😄
What is terrible about saying that people should invest in mutual funds instead of individual stocks, and should invest using retirement vehicles like IRAS and 401ks? I don't agree with Dave on all of his investing advice, but this is pretty plain vanilla, good advice.
Could agree until those other "people" you speak of to look at for investing tell you to borrow money to invest.
@@staceyalbert2658 iirc the mutual funds that Ramsey pushes have extremely high expenses (>1% AUM). index funds are much better.
@@alquinn8576 Oh, I agree with you on that. Index funds are the way to go - low expenses and much better performance overall. But Miyagidojo had a problem with the advice to use mutual funds (which could be index funds or managed funds) and to use retirement vehicles.
1:00 Don't buy Chevron stock
3:45 Buy Exxon stock
Huh?
You shouldn't invest your emergency fund. That should be in cash for ready use. If you're worried about inflation, you should invest in Exxon stock with the money you have beyond an emergency fund and you have the ability to invest.
Commodity stocks or a commodity mutual fund that obviously hold oil, wood companies, etc
He used that example to explain the HEDGE against inflation question she asked.
Based on replies:
*Don't buy stock inside your emergency fund
*Do buy stock outside your emergency fund to hedge against inflation
Thank you
"...sucky rate of return..." 😂
To all the naysayers he is answering a question about an EMERGENCY FUND. If you have extra money after all of your baby steps do what you want to. Invest in Blockbuster if you want to. They still have one store open.
True, get his point but his argument was full of falacies
I watched that documentary too!
Hi Dave, can I use protein powder as a hedge against inflation?
Fantastic video. As usual I learned a lot. Dave you are the best. Thank you!!!
Gold is the answer to the question "Exactly how much do you trust American leaders to guard the value of the currency?"
I love hearing Dave destroy the fake bullion dealers and their fake marketing scams
Dave don't know! I'm 47 and gonna take on a bunch of debt for an pimped out Escalade with a 1400$ payment. It's a good move!

Stick with the baby step plan, no emotional volatility, just attack as per plan.
Gosh Rachel and Dave are so cute they are the cutest father and daughter God bless them
Dave bets on tires inflating XD
Soooo your saying really have a emergency fund of fake fiat that when shtf it will be worth nothing because that’s what you just said. Dave is too one track minded and programmed to understand what’s coming.
So, they captured you and made you say the pledge too
Nobody understands what's coming. Nobody.
This is the best video lately. Why? Dave might have dropped some knowledge on what funds to invest in by name.
3:20 Isn't buying hedge funds because of fear of inflation the same thing? Hedge funds will do great when more accounts pile up in companies' ledgers. Without people's fears and judgements, there would be no business.
I watched this video and UA-cam gave me an ad for "diamond coins". 😂 Haha.
I bought rare coins many years ago, held them for about 20 years and then sold them for a 40% LOSS. I calculated the return I would have gotten if I put the money in an indexed fund. I almost wept when I found I could have made a 400% return!
My in-laws did the same thing. I was finally able to help convince them that mutual funds will much better serve their needs. Sorry to hear you were also bamboozled. Hope you can recover, best of luck.
maybe do some research and buy them at a good price instead of being a fool?
Rainy day fund is for rain only. The money needs to be liquid and accessible. In case Timmy has an accident on his bicycle, that's what the money is for.
Lassie will save Timmy! Saw it on TV.
@@justinacase2623
Lassie still needs an emergency fund.
@@bighands69 Yes! Those vet bills are crazy high! Vets acting like doctors, oh wait...
So Dave doesn’t believe the world is falling apart? Interesting.
This world has been falling apart since humans started occupying it.
@@vickieclark5931 exactly
@@vickieclark5931 very poetic, but it’s definitely reached an accelerated pace during the past few years.
Dave's a little insulated from reality sometimes.
It certainly is not. It's changing and only people who can't adapt see it as falling apart.
There should be a requirement of listening to Dave for at least 90 days before calling with this type of question. Haha
This video wont age well.
Glad I'm not the only one. I'll be buying up a street block once the US loses it's world reserve status lol
YAWN
Dave is so wrong on this its painful to listen to
It is painful to listen to. This dude Ramsey has no clue about monetary history
Dave, should I try to double my emergency fund by playing roulette?
😂😂
yes
They don’t get gold to spend gold. The argument is that they get it at todays rate so that later when they cash it out they get the amount it’s worth then- the inflated price. Then they have cash again to spend. Cash. Not gold. That was a long tangent you made about spending gold (wild west) that was not needed nor the point.
So basically kiyosaki, Peter S, mike Maloney , etc are all wrong?
Stephen Leeb, Pierre Lassonde, James Turk, Jim Roger's, Louise Yamada, Bill Fleckenstein, Rob Arnott, James Rickards.
no. Dave is wrong. the proof is in his own words within this video
7:26 Did Dave just identify with the defeated Confederacy?
He was born and raised in Nashville Tennessee. Where do you think the confederacy was?
He lives in TN, which was a part of the Confederacy you idiot. Being a Tennessean it is the correct usage of the term.
He was speaking geographically. Not politically or morally. He lives in Tennessee.
Every paper currency returns to its real value of $0.0000001. Same happened with the confederate currency. It was just paper, as is the dollar.
Paper is poverty
The best way to stay poor is not investing
Walk in bathtubs & snuggles 😂😂😂
Inflation is an increase in the money supply. Rises prices are just a result.
Ramsey's investment advice is putting it in a saving account? It is Golden!!!!!!
No that is not what he is saying at all. He is talking about putting your 3-6 month emergency fund into cash. Because it's an emergency fund which is not an investment. Anything in excess of the emergency fund gets invested in stocks.
Best thing to have to barder with after a disaster is clean water
Golden advice from Dave, as usual!
So what's the answer to hedge against inflation? He mentioned buying stocks in things that go up during inflation but at the same time said not to buy them. What about VTI ETF?
No mention of currency debasement? The purchasing power of your $ (ie what you can buy with it). Lol inflation by definition is the expansion of the money supply not prices going up. We are having both at the moment. The guys is a lol
What about tungsten? When production increases everyone wants tungsten.
I prefer Wolfram.
Genesis 13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in GOLD.
Over 360 references to gold in the King James Bible. Apparently, David Ramsey doesn't believe in the Bible?
Know what else is a fear based thing? Religion. Why don’t you have the same issues with that?
Amen 😂
If Dave says this to Indian women, they will smack his head. 😂
Well Dave, what about copper and lumber, both are commodities and are going up right now
yeah but it would be unwise to drain your 3-6 months emergency funds to stockpile a garage full of two-by-fours lumber because wood cost is rising. i think the point being readily accessible money for an emergency such as loss of job, layoffs, etc.
@@nghinguyen875 pre 1983 pennies are worth .03 in copper
Commodities go down after they go up... Everytime.
@@timguthrie5583 the average ev is going to take 180# of copper.
Production was stopped for a long period of time and demand never went away. This is unusual times for us to be in so we will need to wait and see.
Is it just me, or have the calls sounded really muffled lately? I feel like a lot of these calls are so hard to understand!
Half of these videos I just turn off. The line quality is shambolic.
As a Christian man, I would never presume to criticize a woman's husband to her without him present. If he really wanted to know, he'd call. Dave should have passed.
Best currency are skills which anyone can use to buy what they need.
Also, I find it ironic that Dave goes on Ben Shaperio (bad spelling don’t grill me)... and talks above saving money. But Ben is also ranting about inflation on just about every single podcast at this point.... yet he invites Dave on and Dave talks about saving money
Dave is talking about and trying to educate people on savings/investment and staying debt free for the ordinary working American.
He is not doing super complicated quantitative economics or financial management. He is trying to present something simple for the average worker who will switch off the moment you start ranting about financial theory or economic models.
Dave and Ben are two different people and are allowed to talk about different things.
If u can afford it go ahead and buy it.
Stellar Lumens emergency fund

hahaha "tooobifoors"
How long until Dave releases Davecoin?
The clock is ticking! It's only a matter of time 😆
His dollar currency will be as worthless as Davecoin.
I made 30k on AMC on Thursday. What do you think about that financial advice.
Hi Dave, my husband is worried about inflation debasing our emergency fund. He wants to convert the fund to cigarettes and sell them for top dollar at a WW2 Army prison camp.
