    2.5 years ago I entered into a credit counseling program, and one of the conditions of them helping me with my debt was that I couldn't use credit, and if I did I would be kicked out of the program.
    So now I am on baby step 2... I've paid off $16,000 in debt, which also included my student loans. I hope to be debt free in a year or 2.
    I know others have paid off more in a shorter time, but I am a single woman who, for the majority of this time, made only $35,000 or so a year.
    These videos and ramsey videos have helped keep me going when times get tough, but I see the light, and it's beautiful.
    I want anyone who's out there like me to know you can do it! You got this! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

    All YES - hallelujah! (no student loans) I took 2 personal finance classes in high school. One of them was Dave Ramsey's course and I can vividly remember Dave and Rachel teaching me back in 2011. Turned 30 this year. It honestly changed my life. Thanks to you guys and my high school teacher for the life changing classes!

    I bought a dumpy car to save money on car payments. And it's power steering went out a few months in while I was driving down the road with my family. I then had to pay to have it towed and i was out that money i could have used as a down payment on the new car i had to buy anyway. Real smart.

  • @CH-bi8tl
    @CH-bi8tl Рік тому +1

    One no lol. It was paying cash for my car. I bought my used car back in 2014. I could have paid cash, but i had graduated and had a lower paying job than expected so I didn't want to drain my account especially when it was only 2.3% interest. I did pay it off within a year. I did pick up a second job as well when i tackled it and my student loans. Then saved for a down payment and bought my house in 2015. I do have money set aside for my next car, but mine is still going strong. Just celebrated 100k miles.
    I had one elective class in 7th grade. Taught us about writing checks, balancing checkbook, interest, compounding, etc. It was really only available for 6&7th graders because in 8th grade and higher there were other classes like home ec & woodshop. As you got in higher grades, then more classes became available that students deemed more fun to take. Anyways almost no one took the financial class. They barely made the minimum head count for it. There were only about 30students total per year in about 4 classes (2per semester). So really only 6-8 students in a class. It only lasted like 3 years before it got the axe. It got moved to a summer program for kids that's parents needed to send them somewhere during the workday and couldn't afford childcare while they were at work.
    Honestly i think it helped a lot of those kids from poorer backgrounds realize it's just a numbers game and they knew the rules growing up. Summer program stayed until my mom got moved to be the principal of the high school. She tried to keep it alive but got told "students dont need to be in a program when they're that old". Then the middle school summer program couldn't get workers so that was quickly lost too.

    I took an engineering economics class that was all about the time value of money and how to make decisions based on that. The most valuable question I've run across was asked there: assuming 8% rate of return, how much would someone need to invest to retire at age 65 with $1million starting at age 25, 35, 45, and 55, and what would need to be invested starting at age 25 and stopping at age 35. Very impactful question to me, though not as much as my disbelief with someone was complaining about when we'd ever use that class in the hallway immediately after that question was discussed.
    I used that textbook when I was buying my house to calculate out a maximum home cost given that I wanted to be all in (including insurance, taxes, and and estimate for utilities) less than 25% of after tax income in housing cost. The number ended up being by far more conservative than the loan officer wanted to approve me for.

    Overall I’m secure 👍 😉 wish our dang high school taught a finance class, but specifically FPU!! Also, I mainly learned from my Gpa in Arkansas, about money. He warned me to never have a CC (but also to keep credit score high haha which always have, yes without a CC y’all!)… he actually retired a millionaire from Walmart stocks he got for pennies! Walmart headquarters is in Bentonville, close to them, and him and gma did work there for a little while. But him and gma started a mowing business and did great and he even mowed for Sam Walton 😁 my dad listened to gpa and got WM stocks for pennies also, but unfortunately had a hard time where needed the money and cashed them out and it was one of his biggest regrets, because if left it alone, would’ve had millions when he retired. Darnit Dad!! Haha. (He’s with Jesus now, and Gpa and Gma)

This has gotten harder and harder for me because not being in debt and making our money last is getting harder and harder. I feel like I am fighting inflation and now him as well.

    I am single so my expenses outside of my mortgage is pretty low. I enjoying throwing more money at my mortgage, so technically is working for me. I have a large mortgage which gives me anxiety so I definitely like throwing my extra money at it so I can watch it come down quicker. Money is just money at the end of the day and a lot of people have too much of it and can't easily spend it.
