@@tamern515 He's clearly helping people without telling them about the money he literally gave the example of his auntie's roof so yes he is helping he just ain't letting them know about the money
@corianne2099 how do you know his coworkers went in on it? Dang dude, if this was me I'd keep it a secret until I've got everything figured out too. That's just wise. A douche would be flashing his new-found wealth in everyone's faces, especially people he doesn't like
I worked with a waiter. It was so sad. He openly told us he was waiting for his parent to die because he was going to inherit all the money. He lived with the "yolo" attitude. Spent every cent he had on crap and money he didnt have. A few years later, I heard through a mutual friend that he was angry as the parent passed away and he didn't end up getting near what he expected. He's verging on bankruptcy. It made my heart so sad. Imagine waiting for something like that? Not trying to make the most of what time you have left together building memories? I dread the day I recieve inheritance. It means I've lost someone I love dearly. I'd rather my parents around than any amount of money.
I know what you mean. I lost my father three months ago, and it has been so painful. I miss him so much and always will. My mother is 82, and will leave me a modest inheritance some day that will definitely be of assistance after I retire (I'm almost 58). But I would rather never see a dime of that inheritance if my mother could live healthfully for another 20 years!
Well I think it might be important to consider not everyone gets along with their family, or even worse hates their family for whatever reason. Now if its just a case of the guy had a loving family, but he didnt care, and preferred money, yeah, thats pretty bad, and cold.
I can’t imagine wanting my parents to die just because of the financial inheritance. In fact, as much as I love picturing how my parents will partake in huge milestones (being there at my wedding, meeting their future grandkids for the first time, etc.), I get sad a bit that that shows how their time is running out.
I'm right with you. I tell the story to everyone that I can....my dad and I get haircuts together. We've been going to the same barbershop at the same time for 30 years....I'm in my 40s right now and dad is in his 70s. We are both nearly bald (ok, it's advanced male pattern baldness with a bit in back and the sides, and nothing on top). But, we go together to get our hair cut. Someone will ask why I don't just shave it off...and my response is because "one day, dad and I won't be able to get our haircut together." Maybe he'll be physically unable to, or he'll have passed on, but in any scenario, it's a darn shame and a loss. So, yes, it makes my heart sad that that person you referred to that waited for his parents to die is on the verge of bankruptcy. That is sad that he waited to lose the people that he loved, then is losing the things that he thought he valued and will be left with neither.
@@JustinCase780 There are many things in parents' lives that are better demonstrated than discussed. For example, it's healthy for parents to show affection like hugging and kissing in front of their children, but it's not necessary for them to openly discuss details of their sexual relations. Likewise, it's enough for their kids to be shown that their parents are financially secure, industrious, prudent, and generous. The kids don't need to know the exact dollar amount in the bank.
The way i see it is that you either do this or you go crazy and leave your job go spend as much money as possible and give money to everyone you know. People who do that will spend all that money in just few years and after that they are way worse than before they won anything. 22 million sounds like a lot but it can go easily if you are now careful.
“My biggest splurge was patio furniture” the quote of a person who is truly living out the dream . True long lasting, comfy and fashionable patio furniture is hella expensive and a pain in the ass to find
It’s fun to be rich when most of our friends think we are poor because we live so frugally. It’s also fun to be generous with our money when needs arise.
This man and his wife are a great example of people who deserve this benefit. They have remained humble, help their family and seem like good parents. I love everything about this!
I can’t imagine, 22 mil in a money market earning 5.3% is 1.1 million a year in interest alone 😮 without touching the principal. What a great guy for this to happen to. This could last generations if played right. Good on him for not being flashy.
@@ericdeer5887 That's not even including his W2 income and anything the wife makes if she is working. I'd struggle to find a way to spend that kind of money each year so the principal would just keep growing.

@@MH-et5snHe hasn't changed his lifestyle to be flashy, he's still working his 9-to-5 and has just kept things quiet, why are you so down on him winning a lottery and gaining wealth?

It's SOOO refreshing to see level headed folks win some money like this. cant think of a more rational way to handle an absolutely life changing amount of money than the way he's handling it. ive always known that if i ever came into a large sum of money either through hard work, luck, or inheritance, there's really only about 3 ppl in the world id tell.
He said it - he is not a flashy guy. I don't know what I would want to spend that kind of money on either, makes complete sense to me to just get a team to manage it and continue living your life and working as if nothing happened.
I am happy for this man, he likes his job. His kids can grow as normal people, and he has a cover story to help his mother. Kept his feet on the ground and can be a total free man
“John” pulled a Dave Ramsey on Dave! “I don’t want my kids to grow up and be waiters....waiters for me to die”. 😂 Dave’s reaction is priceless and I think he’s going to borrow this one in the future. 🤣
The whole point of wealth for me is freedom. My magic number in my mind is 5 million needed at 65 to not worry about anything. Am i better off investing a good portion of my income into stocks or saving my earnings to achieve this goal?
Varied sources of income is wise and especially living within your means. My net worth is $2M and I can pay my bills with no stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.
Money advice is subjective, what works for you may not work for someone else, but it's always better to plan. I'm quite lucky exposed to personal finance at an early age, started job 19, bought first home 28, got laid-off work 36 amid covid-outbreak, and at once I consulted an advisor to handle growing my finance. As of today, I'm only 25% short of my $1m goal after subsequent investments.
@@mikegarvey17bravo! i'm 46, inherited money from a childless relative and traveled overseas, got married to a lady almost my age, but the only issue is how to preserve and grow my wealth in view of retirement, can your advisor be of help please?
Yes indeed.... *Izella Annette Anderson* has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
When I was in high school, I did this project where you get a fake job and have to budget. It was supposed to prepare us to live on our own. My “job” was just over minimum wage, but because I miscalculated some numbers, I ended up thinking I had WAY more money than I did. I learned my mom made more than that amount (which was low) and ended up thinking she was being cheap and had negative feelings toward her because of it. I had no understanding that it actually costs to live or take care of a family. Most kids will not understand money until they are forced to live on their own. Definitely wait to tell them til they get bigger
The caller is well aware of the 'Sudden Weatlth Syndrome' and its pitfalls. I remember Dave said this before: 'Money doesn't change you. It only magnifies who you are before getting rich'.
Some people would get pissed and say “Why didn’t you tell me sooner! 😡 ”. Especially if they have been through a lot of financial struggles and hurt prior to their parents revealing the big secret 🤷
@@jadonmesfun6479Teenagers have BIG MOUTHS and would tell EVERYONE just so they can be the center of attention. We live in a social media obsessed world where everyone wants to be their own celebrity. If word got out, they could be kidnapped and held for ransom or killed. They’re too young, self centered and immature to truly understand the gravity of the consequences of social media use and their actions. Let them grow up and become responsible, middle aged adults with life experience, THEN the parents can tell them!
@jadonmesfun6479 let them be pissed. Parents don’t owe their adult children an inheritance at all. If I revealed something like that and someone asked why I didn’t tell them sooner, I’d remind them that I don’t owe them anything and I’d write them out of my will by the next morning
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Full grown adults cannot handle this info without coming arms open begging, so it’s smart to never tell the kiddos. I would definitely travel if I came into money like that, and enjoy incredible restaurants and sights. Food makes me happiest in this world. Happy to hear someone who didn’t go crazy with their winnings!
I have total respect for this man. I is doing precisely what i would do if i won the lottery. I want my children to learn how to be good productive members of society.
I'm so glad to see someone come into some money that has his head on straight and is prepared to handle it. So many stories about ppl buying the $5M house and a couple of $250K cars and it's gone in a few years. What a great lesson to teach his one day to be wealthy kids.
@shellderp I still wouldn’t buy them; those purchases tend to be more for flaunting wealth and the personal joy would wear off in about 3-5 days. I’d rather spend it on stuff that matters Those who buy luxury cars tend to keep chasing that high. It’s just like an addiction. In fact, consumerism is an addiction. And these patterns will lead to people running out of money in a few years when they could’ve retired extremely comfortably had they been intentional with the money Personally, I don’t need a lot to be happy. Having too many things brings about so much mental clutter that I don’t want. Those who find joy in the simple things in life tend to be happier
The caller is doing everything right. If they want to, they can fund their kids college. And later on when the kids, find out, they should be grateful for being given the gift of graduating debt free and can start their careers with no financial worries.
I absolutely loved this call. This should be a helpful lesson to anyone who receives a lump sum of money, whether it's an extremely rare lottery win or massive inheritance. I'm so glad that someone like this guy was a lottery winner. He's humble and nice and now he's going to be more of that. He needs to focus on ensuring his children have the same personality type before any money is disclosed or given to them. The children need to WORK! Give them money when they are in their 30's and not a moment sooner.
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
Dave, so many of your videos are heart wrenchingly sad for the people who have made bad choices in their lives. This video is such a warm, heart-lifting story that it, at least in part, off-sets many others. This video has brightened my day.
Similar position. Reached 7 figure net worth through investing in real estate when I was 40. Didn’t tell anyone, kept working at my law enforcement job, didn’t change my lifestyle. The only one I told was my wife.
Awesome. We need more LEOs thank you for what you do. My wife and I are doing “better than average” and we just keep certain financial things to ourselves always best that way
I love this caller he is so smart, deliberate, and wise in the way he is doing this. When his kids get older and they’re finally told they’re going to just laugh. Because I know that’s what I would do just laugh.
Most people dream of being millionaires, but not everyone knows how to build lasting wealth. Wealth gives you freedom from waiting for delayed trains, soulless jobs, financial stress, and more. So go out there, buy your financial freedom, and enjoy life! Have a great life! Cheers! I don't think I could retire with less than $3 million in income-producing investments. I have already achieved 60% of my goal.
Everyone needs to hear this, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, thick or thin, while continually learning from mistakes and improving.
"A good process" is all that is required. When I needed a good push to assist my firm stay afloat, I went to a fiduciary CFP. So I sought for financial advisors and found someone who did their homework and helped me build my reserve from $75,000 to almost $850,000 so far, despite inflation.
I'm delighted I came across the topic at hand. Could you please tell me how I can get in touch with the CFP who assists you with your investments, if you don't mind?
I started out with a CFP called "THERESA DANA PEEK". Her honest approach gives me complete ownership and control of my position, and her rates are incredibly affordable given my ROI. However, do your due diligence before contacting a CFP.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Working when you have FU money is so satisfying. You know that if your workplace pulls some negative crap, you have the financial freedom to leave. It makes your career much less stressful. It's even better if your employer has an inkling that you might have FU money.
also it a good way to help people say the guy you work with for 10 year daughter get cancer and and he working a second job to pay for med, you could pay for it, and YOU konw it not a scam and he a good person.
True. That's why when some people have enough money to retire, they keep working for several more years because the job becomes less stressful when they no longer need it to pay the bills.
I think if it were me, I’d still only want part time though…. having a four day weekend, every week would probably be almost satisfying as having the cash in the bank lol a full extra day to do household chores, and then another day to pursue either hobbies or education in an area of interest.
This guy is truly exceptional! What a wonderful opportunity has been given to him. I was quite impressed that he has opted to continue working, this shows that he is quite emotionally stable and grounded. This story has made my day!
I love love love Dave's way of explaining his wealth to his kids. "It's not *my* money, it's the lord's and I just manage it." I come from a middle class family but I have aspirations to escape the middle class and become wealthy, and one of my biggest motivators is this sort of ideaolgy. I am a good manager of money, and I'd love the freedom to be generous and serve others in ways that having lots of wealth can allow you to. That's awesome Dave!
I don't have a problem with him doing whatever he wants with his money, but if it's the lord's money like he says, why would "the lord" want him to buy a mansion and live a life full of luxury?
@@juniorgod321 If you want a weird way to justify it... I think him having a big estate puts him at peace and gives him a sense of satisfaction, both of which allow him to help others, grow his business, and bless others. I get what you're saying though
@@matthewphillips5483 I don’t really care to debate since I’m unsure about God too. I just like the philosophy that when good things come to you, you’re being trusted to use them for good.. but it’s ultimately up to you
Wish I could give this a thumbs up more than once. Thanks for sharing your faith, family, and stewardship Dave, and the others here. We need more men like these in our families
He did the smart thing if he would have told everybody he would hate his life right about now. His phone wouldn't stop ringing with people asking for money.
What the heck are you talking about. He just called a radio show and told the whole freekin world. This call was a fake, a marking ployee for the show. You fell for it. Let say you murdered somebody, kept it a secret, would you then call a nation wide radio show and confess? Really? And this guy needed daves help how?
Plus it can affect your friendships. I fortunately have more than enough money, but enjoy a simple life, so no one knows and treats me like everyone else. If I life a different lifestyle I might be thrown in with people I really have nothing in common with.
I hope to be this guy one day... not necessarily to win the lottery, since I don't play, but to have the mentality he has about money. What an inspiration.
I know this can come across as a caller gloating (which some are but this guy was not) but I'm really glad I get to hear from humble people like this now and then. I need to know how to operate at that level and have an example of how to do it. Thanks for the call in.
I love that this man is still working and that Dave voicing his support of this. 6 years ago I became 100% permanently disabled. The adjustment was difficult but the thing that hurt me the worst is not having my job be the thing that kept me living a structured life. It put me in a depression that I am now free from, I finally figured out how to be structured, intentional with my time and productive to the level of my physical ability. It was really eye opening how important it is to have that structure and responsibility. Thank you Dave for sharing and teaching all of us how to have better lives. ❤
I pray if I win this amount of money, that I would remain as humble as this man. But, I would have left my job and no I don’t hate it. There are just so many more things I want to do and these 40 hours a week get in the way!! Congratulations to you sir and your family.
If my hubby and I won that kind of money, he would leave his job and we would go out and help others. My hubby is a builder by trade and works for someone else. He would rather help others that have been down on their luck, or had a fire, tornado or something else destroy their home and not have the resources.
This has become my new favorite channel on UA-cam. Props to you for all the hard work you put into these videos, I've been a member of this amazing society of investors for a while now, and I can't articulate how much it has transformed my life.

I watched before work on Monday, the waiter comment was killer! I have knowledge that my wife will likely inherit 7 figures from her father, but I do not let that effect our financial lives. We have built our own seven figure net worth. We're hoping he can be around as long as possible. Very thankful that those attacks on Israel didn't happen a couple of days later or he would be there! His flight was for Saturday night, EEK! I understand wanting to see the Holy Land and I hope he can some day.
Almost seems impossible to be this damn amazingly humble, wise, and patient. Sounds like he already was winning before the big win. I’m envious in the best possible way for this man and his family.
Nice video Ramsey but I've been saving instead of investing and now have about $516K. With inflation, I'm unsure how to grow it into something substantial for retirement. I'm here for ideas.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
in times like these, it's crucial to be cautious and not rush into the market , Who is this your FA , my portfolio needs urgent attention , been a lot of loss.

Make a budget TOGETHER and let her enjoy some of it - in her control. Probably a reason she feels the need to spend. Thanks Dave for telling him he needs to enjoy it instead of patting himself on his own back cause he’s so “ perfect and frugal “. Probably controls it all too and wife has little say in the matter. 😅My wife, my wife. How about WE decided. He even said He decided on the patio furniture not “we”.

Have them "show you the money." If you're in your 50s and are just thinking about retirement funding, you're a little late. Contact Vanguard Funds to get started.
The advice in the video is valuable for the typical American. What a great lesson to teach his future wealthy kids. I started investing when I was 30 back in 1998. Today, I'm 55 and have a decent $7.2M nest egg, thanks to the careful supervision of my CFP. After learning all of this, my only regret is not starting earlier when I was 25. It may not seem like much but those extra 5 years are the most important.
This is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
I completely agree, this is why I decided to give a coach control over my everyday investing decisions. Their proficiency in research, specific knowledge, and risk management makes it difficult for them to deliver below expectations. They emphasize minimizing drawbacks while maximizing risk's asymmetrical potential. I have more than two years of investing coach experience, and I have made more than a quarter of a million dollars.
@gatesbev The adviser that guides me is HEATHER LEE LARIONI. She works with Empower FinanciaI services. But there are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
@georgeh She appears to be well-educated and well-read. She seems proficient considering her résumé. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
This guy was wealthy before he had money. Money doesn’t make people, people make money. Live your dreams, do what you enjoy, and be wildly generous. These are principles I live by.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
I have been investing in stocks for over 3 years now and I have made nothing less that $600k in ROI. My portfolio has grown exponentially. Will advise you consider stocks inveestment.
”Debra Ella Nicholas” is the lady's name. I first saw her on a goldman sachs' report, then on Smart Advisors, and immediately looked her up on the internet; it was the best decision I've made to stay afloat in these crazy times. She has been outstanding.
I don't know how I feel about the later half of this call..... When I was in my 20's I didn't know what I wanted to do in life, but not having to worry about money would have drastically reduced the stress, anxiety, and depression I felt during that time. If I had a kid and I had millions, I'd want my child to have a financially stress free life. If they wanted to play video games all day everyday and that's what gave them meaningful purpose than so be it. My wife and I have great jobs, but sometimes I wish I had the time to do things I enjoy... There's no point taking your money to the grave, let your kids experience a life you wish you had. (And no i don't mean just give your kid millions... give them a lifetime allowance, teach them how to invest and save)
Its true that whatever weakness or flaws you have gets magnified when great money comes in. I knew two people who had large windfalls and two years later had nothing to show for it, one was bitter the other gave it to family,
is really a privilege to have millions in inheritance and is the really smart to raise your kids to not have sense of entitlement so they can work for their own money. when your raise your lids right, their inheritance will be a bonus to them and they will manage it well because they have made their own money and see how hard its to make money. i was left with nothing but i was able to build a 7 figure net worth on my own. made the right investment decisions, save and create multiple streams of income. My overall grace was my Saving and investing lifestyle with the assistance of a financial planner who I met at a financial seminar. So it worked out great for me.
My husband and i just had a relative conversation this morning. This is exactly how we wish to get our finances coordinated ahead. Can I get access to your advisor?
Sure. There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But I only work with BECKY Lou GORDON and we have been working together for years. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I concentrate on. She's well-grounded and known, shouldn't be a hassle finding her page.
@@BradleyMaurice226.. Hello 👋... I'm from the UK 🇬🇧... can you please ask a question to your financial advisor can I invest if I'm from the UK & can she send me her email... thank you so much 😊
If you tell your kids you won it will be all over Facebook before you finish telling them. You’re doing the right thing. You have that rare commodity of common sense.
Yes....instead of buying things that you aren't really interested in....perhaps...once a year plan a very cool family vacation and build memories. They think you've saved all year to afford it...but really you are paying cash and building memories. Invest in memories with your family that doesn't revolve around things or disclosing why or how you could buy such and such. Love it!

@corianne2099 how do you know his coworkers went in on it? Dang dude, if this was me I'd keep it a secret until I've got everything figured out too. That's just wise. A douche would be flashing his new-found wealth in everyone's faces, especially people he doesn't like
I worked with a waiter. It was so sad. He openly told us he was waiting for his parent to die because he was going to inherit all the money. He lived with the "yolo" attitude. Spent every cent he had on crap and money he didnt have. A few years later, I heard through a mutual friend that he was angry as the parent passed away and he didn't end up getting near what he expected. He's verging on bankruptcy. It made my heart so sad. Imagine waiting for something like that? Not trying to make the most of what time you have left together building memories? I dread the day I recieve inheritance. It means I've lost someone I love dearly. I'd rather my parents around than any amount of money.
I know what you mean. I lost my father three months ago, and it has been so painful. I miss him so much and always will. My mother is 82, and will leave me a modest inheritance some day that will definitely be of assistance after I retire (I'm almost 58). But I would rather never see a dime of that inheritance if my mother could live healthfully for another 20 years!
Well I think it might be important to consider not everyone gets along with their family, or even worse hates their family for whatever reason.
Now if its just a case of the guy had a loving family, but he didnt care, and preferred money, yeah, thats pretty bad, and cold.
I can’t imagine wanting my parents to die just because of the financial inheritance. In fact, as much as I love picturing how my parents will partake in huge milestones (being there at my wedding, meeting their future grandkids for the first time, etc.), I get sad a bit that that shows how their time is running out.
I'm right with you. I tell the story to everyone that I can....my dad and I get haircuts together. We've been going to the same barbershop at the same time for 30 years....I'm in my 40s right now and dad is in his 70s. We are both nearly bald (ok, it's advanced male pattern baldness with a bit in back and the sides, and nothing on top). But, we go together to get our hair cut. Someone will ask why I don't just shave it off...and my response is because "one day, dad and I won't be able to get our haircut together." Maybe he'll be physically unable to, or he'll have passed on, but in any scenario, it's a darn shame and a loss.
So, yes, it makes my heart sad that that person you referred to that waited for his parents to die is on the verge of bankruptcy. That is sad that he waited to lose the people that he loved, then is losing the things that he thought he valued and will be left with neither.
This made me cry.
This guy is amazing! He won the lottery before ever winning the lottery,
Gonna be raising great kids
yes! never tell your kids anything true! best way to go! 😂😂
@@JustinCase780 There are many things in parents' lives that are better demonstrated than discussed. For example, it's healthy for parents to show affection like hugging and kissing in front of their children, but it's not necessary for them to openly discuss details of their sexual relations. Likewise, it's enough for their kids to be shown that their parents are financially secure, industrious, prudent, and generous. The kids don't need to know the exact dollar amount in the bank.
Some people are so lucky
I think this guy knows what type of children he has!
imagine if he was like 25 insted of mid 50ies XD
In such a dysfunctional, look at me world, a guy and his wife who have it together is so refreshing.
The way i see it is that you either do this or you go crazy and leave your job go spend as much money as possible and give money to everyone you know. People who do that will spend all that money in just few years and after that they are way worse than before they won anything. 22 million sounds like a lot but it can go easily if you are now careful.

The whole point of wealth for me is freedom. My magic number in my mind is 5 million needed at 65 to not worry about anything. Am i better off investing a good portion of my income into stocks or saving my earnings to achieve this goal?
Varied sources of income is wise and especially living within your means. My net worth is $2M and I can pay my bills with no stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.
Money advice is subjective, what works for you may not work for someone else, but it's always better to plan. I'm quite lucky exposed to personal finance at an early age, started job 19, bought first home 28, got laid-off work 36 amid covid-outbreak, and at once I consulted an advisor to handle growing my finance. As of today, I'm only 25% short of my $1m goal after subsequent investments.

Smart and wise before he had money so that is why he stands a chance. Lesson for everyone, always be prepared.
When I was in high school, I did this project where you get a fake job and have to budget. It was supposed to prepare us to live on our own. My “job” was just over minimum wage, but because I miscalculated some numbers, I ended up thinking I had WAY more money than I did. I learned my mom made more than that amount (which was low) and ended up thinking she was being cheap and had negative feelings toward her because of it. I had no understanding that it actually costs to live or take care of a family. Most kids will not understand money until they are forced to live on their own. Definitely wait to tell them til they get bigger
The caller is well aware of the 'Sudden Weatlth Syndrome' and its pitfalls.
I remember Dave said this before: 'Money doesn't change you. It only magnifies who you are before getting rich'.
That’s not true! My brother was really kind and generous and now his business has been very successful he’s changed.
Imagine the joy the kids are gonna feel when theyre grown and find out this blessing!
True
Some people would get pissed and say “Why didn’t you tell me sooner! 😡 ”. Especially if they have been through a lot of financial struggles and hurt prior to their parents revealing the big secret 🤷
@@jadonmesfun6479Teenagers have BIG MOUTHS and would tell EVERYONE just so they can be the center of attention. We live in a social media obsessed world where everyone wants to be their own celebrity. If word got out, they could be kidnapped and held for ransom or killed.
They’re too young, self centered and immature to truly understand the gravity of the consequences of social media use and their actions. Let them grow up and become responsible, middle aged adults with life experience, THEN the parents can tell them!
@@jadonmesfun6479 Would you honestly trust a teenager to keep a secret like this I wouldn’t.
@jadonmesfun6479 let them be pissed. Parents don’t owe their adult children an inheritance at all. If I revealed something like that and someone asked why I didn’t tell them sooner, I’d remind them that I don’t owe them anything and I’d write them out of my will by the next morning

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
I searched for her full name online, found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you
Full grown adults cannot handle this info without coming arms open begging, so it’s smart to never tell the kiddos. I would definitely travel if I came into money like that, and enjoy incredible restaurants and sights. Food makes me happiest in this world. Happy to hear someone who didn’t go crazy with their winnings!
I have total respect for this man. I is doing precisely what i would do if i won the lottery. I want my children to learn how to be good productive members of society.
I'm so glad to see someone come into some money that has his head on straight and is prepared to handle it. So many stories about ppl buying the $5M house and a couple of $250K cars and it's gone in a few years. What a great lesson to teach his one day to be wealthy kids.
waste of life not enjoying the wealth. they'd still have 16m after buying those luxuries and it would only grow further
@shellderp I still wouldn’t buy them; those purchases tend to be more for flaunting wealth and the personal joy would wear off in about 3-5 days. I’d rather spend it on stuff that matters
Those who buy luxury cars tend to keep chasing that high. It’s just like an addiction. In fact, consumerism is an addiction. And these patterns will lead to people running out of money in a few years when they could’ve retired extremely comfortably had they been intentional with the money
Personally, I don’t need a lot to be happy. Having too many things brings about so much mental clutter that I don’t want. Those who find joy in the simple things in life tend to be happier
The caller is doing everything right. If they want to, they can fund their kids college. And later on when the kids, find out, they should be grateful for being given the gift of graduating debt free and can start their careers with no financial worries.
I absolutely loved this call. This should be a helpful lesson to anyone who receives a lump sum of money, whether it's an extremely rare lottery win or massive inheritance. I'm so glad that someone like this guy was a lottery winner. He's humble and nice and now he's going to be more of that. He needs to focus on ensuring his children have the same personality type before any money is disclosed or given to them. The children need to WORK! Give them money when they are in their 30's and not a moment sooner.
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury is my advisor, You can easily look her up, she has years of financial market experience.
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
Dave, so many of your videos are heart wrenchingly sad for the people who have made bad choices in their lives. This video is such a warm, heart-lifting story that it, at least in part, off-sets many others. This video has brightened my day.

This is the most genuine laugh I heard from Ramsey 😂

@@AbbygaileHearne How do people not know?, these things usually make the news.
Do not tell! People will not leave you alone wanting your money for every real and not so real reason. You have been so wise.
As I listened to this I realized how much I genuinely enjoy my life: my work, my husband, my kids, my pets, my home...I have everything I could want!
This clip alone is worth more than financial advice out there on the interwebs. Like Dave said, it's not anyone else's business.
Most people dream of being millionaires, but not everyone knows how to build lasting wealth. Wealth gives you freedom from waiting for delayed trains, soulless jobs, financial stress, and more. So go out there, buy your financial freedom, and enjoy life! Have a great life! Cheers! I don't think I could retire with less than $3 million in income-producing investments. I have already achieved 60% of my goal.
Everyone needs to hear this, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, thick or thin, while continually learning from mistakes and improving.
"A good process" is all that is required. When I needed a good push to assist my firm stay afloat, I went to a fiduciary CFP. So I sought for financial advisors and found someone who did their homework and helped me build my reserve from $75,000 to almost $850,000 so far, despite inflation.
I'm delighted I came across the topic at hand. Could you please tell me how I can get in touch with the CFP who assists you with your investments, if you don't mind?
I started out with a CFP called "THERESA DANA PEEK". Her honest approach gives me complete ownership and control of my position, and her rates are incredibly affordable given my ROI. However, do your due diligence before contacting a CFP.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
Working when you have FU money is so satisfying. You know that if your workplace pulls some negative crap, you have the financial freedom to leave. It makes your career much less stressful. It's even better if your employer has an inkling that you might have FU money.
also it a good way to help people say the guy you work with for 10 year daughter get cancer and and he working a second job to pay for med, you could pay for it,
and YOU konw it not a scam and he a good person.
How the F do you know lmao
True. That's why when some people have enough money to retire, they keep working for several more years because the job becomes less stressful when they no longer need it to pay the bills.
I think if it were me, I’d still only want part time though…. having a four day weekend, every week would probably be almost satisfying as having the cash in the bank lol a full extra day to do household chores, and then another day to pursue either hobbies or education in an area of interest.
It's also good to subtly make your employer think you have such money EVEN IF you don't actually have it.
He said he won along with his co-workers. Did he split the winnings with them? Did everyone keep it secret? How did it not get out?
I don't think he would have mentioned it if he stole, probably a powerfully or something 😊
Good question. Maybe they all had a contract where they agreed not to tell who won if they wanted to remain private.
This guy is truly exceptional! What a wonderful opportunity has been given to him. I was quite impressed that he has opted to continue working, this shows that he is quite emotionally stable and grounded. This story has made my day!
God entrusted you because you are a great manager. Humble and spirit filled.
I love love love Dave's way of explaining his wealth to his kids. "It's not *my* money, it's the lord's and I just manage it." I come from a middle class family but I have aspirations to escape the middle class and become wealthy, and one of my biggest motivators is this sort of ideaolgy. I am a good manager of money, and I'd love the freedom to be generous and serve others in ways that having lots of wealth can allow you to. That's awesome Dave!
I don't have a problem with him doing whatever he wants with his money, but if it's the lord's money like he says, why would "the lord" want him to buy a mansion and live a life full of luxury?
@@juniorgod321 If you want a weird way to justify it... I think him having a big estate puts him at peace and gives him a sense of satisfaction, both of which allow him to help others, grow his business, and bless others. I get what you're saying though

Plus it can affect your friendships. I fortunately have more than enough money, but enjoy a simple life, so no one knows and treats me like everyone else. If I life a different lifestyle I might be thrown in with people I really have nothing in common with.
@@moviehipsterHow so? Lottery groups exist all over the country. What about this call identified him? Do any of his family members even watch ramsey?
I hope to be this guy one day... not necessarily to win the lottery, since I don't play, but to have the mentality he has about money. What an inspiration.
I know this can come across as a caller gloating (which some are but this guy was not) but I'm really glad I get to hear from humble people like this now and then. I need to know how to operate at that level and have an example of how to do it. Thanks for the call in.
I love that this man is still working and that Dave voicing his support of this.
6 years ago I became 100% permanently disabled. The adjustment was difficult but the thing that hurt me the worst is not having my job be the thing that kept me living a structured life. It put me in a depression that I am now free from, I finally figured out how to be structured, intentional with my time and productive to the level of my physical ability. It was really eye opening how important it is to have that structure and responsibility.
Thank you Dave for sharing and teaching all of us how to have better lives. ❤
I love this caller so much! THIS is how you handle money
Before 4:00 "I don't want my kids to be waiters, just waiting for me to die". This was the funniest yet most profound statement by 'john.'
Oh this lottery $ couldnt have been won by a more humble human being! I pray he continues to remain humble but above all healthy and blessed!
He sounds so humble. God bless him.
I pray if I win this amount of money, that I would remain as humble as this man. But, I would have left my job and no I don’t hate it. There are just so many more things I want to do and these 40 hours a week get in the way!! Congratulations to you sir and your family.
Same! I enjoy my job…but there are SO many other things I enjoy too. If I had this kind of money I’d try to work part time, like 15-20hr a week
If my hubby and I won that kind of money, he would leave his job and we would go out and help others. My hubby is a builder by trade and works for someone else. He would rather help others that have been down on their luck, or had a fire, tornado or something else destroy their home and not have the resources.
Amen.
I would love to help others in a constructive way, what fun to see it help people in need
I would do that, too.
This has become my new favorite channel on UA-cam. Props to you for all the hard work you put into these videos, I've been a member of this amazing society of investors for a while now, and I can't articulate how much it has transformed my life. We're not just here to earn money; we're here to uphold one another, grow collectively, and rejoice in every stride toward our financial aspirations....
I can relate. Mrs. Bianca Faye Lindsey transformed my financial life too. Let's inspire others to take control of their finances! Great show. 👏👍
Totally get it. Mrs. Bianca Faye Lindsey, the expert, she's changed my investing game. We're building futures, making smart moves, and sharing successes.

Your story is inspiring, Meribeth. Bianca's impact is more than numbers; it's personal growth. Let's commit to evolving as investors and supporting each other for lasting success. 🚀🌱
I watched before work on Monday, the waiter comment was killer! I have knowledge that my wife will likely inherit 7 figures from her father, but I do not let that effect our financial lives. We have built our own seven figure net worth. We're hoping he can be around as long as possible. Very thankful that those attacks on Israel didn't happen a couple of days later or he would be there! His flight was for Saturday night, EEK! I understand wanting to see the Holy Land and I hope he can some day.
This is why i love dave, he has the heart of a GOD fearing steward. He has money, money doesn't have him.

This dude is awesome. Deserves all the blessings that came to him.
Nice video Ramsey but I've been saving instead of investing and now have about $516K. With inflation, I'm unsure how to grow it into something substantial for retirement. I'm here for ideas.
In this current economy, investing in precious matter should be the answer you are looking for. Thank me later 👌
RickWatson, At a point like this, its best recommended you seek the services of an advisor, as this allows you make smarter investing decisions.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
in times like these, it's crucial to be cautious and not rush into the market , Who is this your FA , my portfolio needs urgent attention , been a lot of loss.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.

This guy and his wife are great!!
this is like the only person who should have won the lottery. Great guy, no terrible financial descisions, looking out for others while taking it slowly. Great for him.
He’s exactly right! If I won a huge amount in the lottery, I’d only tell my husband and eventually tell my kids the way Dave did.
To keep the peace between everyone, you are definitely helping them. I love this. Wow! I grateful for you and your wife. Praying that you continue to bless everyone around you with wisdom. This is so amazing.
What a great story! This man is so deserving of this wealth. May his children become great managers of such wealth.
One of my favorite episodes. Wise parenting skills.
Best advice ever. My uncle won not anything close to this a few months ago and the leeches came asking for money. People are unbelievable.
They really are. So ignorant
Block the leeches on all social media sites, ghost them and get a restraining order if they come knocking on your door! You're welcome:)
Healthy, wealthy, and wise! The waiter mic drop is hysterically appropriate!! Thank you for calling in. It is so enjoyable to hear the good news of wise choices! Blessings!
I love this guy! What a terrific, deserving human being!!!
I LOVE this dude and his family. What a blessed, intelligent and blessed man.
It's fake.
I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
@@SheilaAnnerego word of mouth someone who has a good experience whatever u do t do t give them power over your money as u probably know already good luck. Share market u could play but what u could afford to play with or property ect is soo good to invest all the best
Have them "show you the money." If you're in your 50s and are just thinking about retirement funding, you're a little late. Contact Vanguard Funds to get started.
⚠️this whole thread is a scam by fake accounts⚠️
The advice in the video is valuable for the typical American. What a great lesson to teach his future wealthy kids. I started investing when I was 30 back in 1998. Today, I'm 55 and have a decent $7.2M nest egg, thanks to the careful supervision of my CFP. After learning all of this, my only regret is not starting earlier when I was 25. It may not seem like much but those extra 5 years are the most important.
This is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
I completely agree, this is why I decided to give a coach control over my everyday investing decisions. Their proficiency in research, specific knowledge, and risk management makes it difficult for them to deliver below expectations. They emphasize minimizing drawbacks while maximizing risk's asymmetrical potential. I have more than two years of investing coach experience, and I have made more than a quarter of a million dollars.
That's actually impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this CFP , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you?
@gatesbev The adviser that guides me is HEATHER LEE LARIONI. She works with Empower FinanciaI services. But there are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on
@georgeh She appears to be well-educated and well-read. She seems proficient considering her résumé. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
This is Great!
I am so happy for him and his family.
Nice to hear a intelligent family soo blessed.
Good decision!!! Never tell anybody!! People will change once they knew. Plus not all will be happy that's a freaking fact. So congrats to you
I applaud him for how he handled this and they know how to keep secrets.
This guy was wealthy before he had money. Money doesn’t make people, people make money. Live your dreams, do what you enjoy, and be wildly generous. These are principles I live by.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.
Exactly. That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn
I have been investing in stocks for over 3 years now and I have made nothing less that $600k in ROI. My portfolio has grown exponentially. Will advise you consider stocks inveestment.
I find this interesting. Could you please provide me with the means to get in touch with your Adviser? I am concerned about my dwindling portfolio.
”Debra Ella Nicholas” is the lady's name. I first saw her on a goldman sachs' report, then on Smart Advisors, and immediately looked her up on the internet; it was the best decision I've made to stay afloat in these crazy times. She has been outstanding.
This is getting shared to many loved ones and added to my homeschool videos. It’s the perfect mindset on money.
Absolute best caller ever !
Great start for this guy. I hope he enjoys his money !!!
I don't know how I feel about the later half of this call..... When I was in my 20's I didn't know what I wanted to do in life, but not having to worry about money would have drastically reduced the stress, anxiety, and depression I felt during that time. If I had a kid and I had millions, I'd want my child to have a financially stress free life. If they wanted to play video games all day everyday and that's what gave them meaningful purpose than so be it. My wife and I have great jobs, but sometimes I wish I had the time to do things I enjoy... There's no point taking your money to the grave, let your kids experience a life you wish you had.
(And no i don't mean just give your kid millions... give them a lifetime allowance, teach them how to invest and save)
Very level headed man. It’s hard to keep something like that a secret, but way to go! I’m very impressed by this stoey
When you have a mature mindset towards money, you’ll be responsible and adequately equipped to manage a windfall like this
I think this guy is being very smart about. That’s awesome!! I’m happy for him!
Its true that whatever weakness or flaws you have gets magnified when great money comes in. I knew two people who had large windfalls and two years later had nothing to show for it, one was bitter the other gave it to family,
is really a privilege to have millions in inheritance and is the really smart to raise your kids to not have sense of entitlement so they can work for their own money. when your raise your lids right, their inheritance will be a bonus to them and they will manage it well because they have made their own money and see how hard its to make money. i was left with nothing but i was able to build a 7 figure net worth on my own. made the right investment decisions, save and create multiple streams of income. My overall grace was my Saving and investing lifestyle with the assistance of a financial planner who I met at a financial seminar. So it worked out great for me.
My husband and i just had a relative conversation this morning. This is exactly how we wish to get our finances coordinated ahead. Can I get access to your advisor?
Sure. There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But I only work with BECKY Lou GORDON and we have been working together for years. She has since provided entry and exit points on the securities I concentrate on. She's well-grounded and known, shouldn't be a hassle finding her page.
Thank you so much! Found her webpage and left a message. Hopefully, she responds.
@@BradleyMaurice226.. Hello 👋... I'm from the UK 🇬🇧... can you please ask a question to your financial advisor can I invest if I'm from the UK & can she send me her email... thank you so much 😊
@@stevenlahori2665 Yes, you can. Google her name, you’ll find her page
I still don’t know what “John’s” question was because Dave never let him finish 🤷🏻♂️
I dont think it was really a question, but wanted a 2nd opinion on what he was doing is correct.
I think his “question” was basically, am I doing the right thing to keep it secret, even from my teenagers?
He never lets even his co hosts finish, nothing new.
This was a not a "question" call, bruh
@@MichaelCarrPilot he did it during the call to Dr. Deloney! And I liked what he was about to say I think lol
Sounds like this blessing couldn't have happened to anyone more responsible and worthy. Good man!
If you tell your kids you won it will be all over Facebook before you finish telling them. You’re doing the right thing. You have that rare commodity of common sense.
You will never ever regret being generous 🙏🏼
Yes....instead of buying things that you aren't really interested in....perhaps...once a year plan a very cool family vacation and build memories. They think you've saved all year to afford it...but really you are paying cash and building memories. Invest in memories with your family that doesn't revolve around things or disclosing why or how you could buy such and such. Love it!
This is a problem we all wish we had.
Smart man. Doing a great job
