He didn't "quit", he ran out of money to gamble with 🙄🤦♂
I think John realized that -- but didn't say anything about it.
While that may be true, he admitted he had a problem and is doing counseling. That’s something that Dave specifically fished for in his line of questioning
Lol😂
Typical addict and their excuses.
Until you deal with that demon you have no idea how powerfully addicting it can be to gamble.
My ex husband had a gambling problem. He took out a lot of loans to gamble with. It took his whole salary to pay his debt. This left me paying for everything and we had 2 kids. He called me controlling because I wouldn’t let him have access to my money. He left me for another woman and filed bankruptcy. I was left paying $10k that he cash advanced on my credit card. Gambling is definitely an addiction that destroys a person’s life.
You picked him. Thinking with the little head happens to us guys as well. Usually not gambling for us it's shopping and fake lifestyle.
Him leaving is the best thing that has happened to you. You'll eventually get with somebody else if you haven't already and you'll be happy.
What is wrong with you. Why would you post this online
Hope you are doing better.
he shouldn't of never been gambling in the first place
Former gambling addict here. I gambled away around 50k over 2 years, and I decided my life was going to hell if I kept it up. The casino was an escape for me, and a rush. He needs to fill that with something else. For me it was working out. I changed addictions. Finances shouldn’t have even come up in this conversation. He dodged johns question twice.
I've been addicted to gambling for close to 12 years. I spend about 3 to 4 days a week at the casino. It helped me pay off my house, pay off my wedding, and pay most of my Audi Q7 off. I never pay for food or lodging. Gambling addiction is only a problem if you have no discipline and are bad at gambling!
@@AnonymousGameWarden well good for you then. But you aren’t this man, so your input is shit for this scenario
@@AnonymousGameWarden No. People who are gamblers are usually morally bankrupt in a lot of areas. Gambling is always wrong.
@@Mint-kj9kw ehh I disagree. The majority of gamblers are. But some of the best people I've met are gamblers. I counted cards with a team early in my casino days, and those kids were the some of the smartest and genuinely good people I've ever known. They've all taken their winnings to fuel their businesses and grow their lives, would love to have one last hoorah with em. My point is there are obviously an overwhelming majority of degenerate gamblers. But to say all gambling or gamblers are bad is a very eneducated and ignorant thing to say. There are smart people out there to leverage the game in their favor. It's just business.
@@Mint-kj9kw Bankrupt in a lot of areas... So true.
I gambled for 3 years. I have a full time job. I gambled from 30yoa to 33yoa. I have to pay the price for the last 5 years. I was in a very dark place. It almost killed me! I quit gambling for almost 4 years now. Im trying to be debt free for 4 years now! Still in debt. Never gamble!
first, you have to recognize that you are on the wrong track. No one can do it for you. Good luck!
My friend worked at a casino and he said that 9 of 10 are people that are addicted. I think its time to close casinos or teach in school about possible bancrupcy.
@viliusr.8792 casino ruins millions of people's lives. They wont shut it down because it generates taxes for the government. People die from stroke, heart attack, and suicide. The casino i went to 5 years ago had a man committed suicide by jumping off the top floor. It was not on the news. Why? Because it would affect the billion dollars business. They control the press and everything else.
@@viliusr.8792If the casinos close, Vegas will be just a bunch of lights in the desert
Dave’s compassion when the kid says he’s 22 😢 think he threw up a prayer in that moment 😅
I have been working in the casino industry for 20 years. I see these people every day. It is a NO win situation folks.
Casino is built on losers. The maximum I will lose is $20. And I’m done. I watch people put $100 in them machine for what:
Love it.
@@girlwithnoniche7852for the good times and payout. One time in Vegas I played roulette with an NFL player for 10 hours straight. Incredible night, the casino did everything they could to cut us off. They closed the table off, raised the minimum, cut our drinks off. And we kept winning and winning like there was no tomorrow. Won close to 50 grand and ended up hooking up with the most beautiful and tall blonde I've ever seen that morning. Used that money to pay off my student loans and pay off most of a brand new Audi. Also got diamond status and never pay for food or rooms in Vegas. And they fly me put for free and put me up in the suite. You ain't gettin that with a 20 dollar limit LOL
I put 20$ into a slot machine and won 650$ . Spent the money on my hotel and an amazing dinner
So he stopped working? That's the only way you run out of money!
Wonder if his Dad was involved in him getting a 150k income at 22. That level of income is pretty much unheard of at that age.
He is in sales and if you are good at it the income is limitless.
Not true. Have seen and see a lot of it. High dollar sales positions can bring you a 1/4 mil a year with almost no qualifications other than knowing the customer and the product.
I was one of those 22 yr olds. Sales money is kind of like athletes money if that makes sense, it can be A LOT all at once. There a lot of sales people who make 500k a year, but are completely broke.
@@P2B_JCunfortunately it’s dictated by the economy
@@lombardo141on the other hand if something (economy, low season, he gets sick and etc) goes wrong he will get much less than expected.
Dave is doing all this math, assuming he's not going back gambling.
Well yeah. You can lead a horse to water, can't make him drink. If he's gonna gamble, nothing Dave can do.
They tried to help make sure he has people holding him accountable. Change is hard.
@doc4153 Until he beats his addiction there's nothing Dave can really do, either. He could have told the guy "focus on your addiction and maybe call me in a year if you're over it". Though his immediate advice about 4 survival walls or whatever helps.
Uh no shit?
@@robloxvids2233what? You just repeated the other comment..? And Dave did make sure he was focusing on his addiction and has people holding him accountable. He cleared that part. It's a finance show.. dude called in for finance advice. Dave cleared the rest then helped with the finances.. did you even watch the video or read the comment you were replying to?? Lol
This guy can't answer a question to save his life. He us a true addict. Addicts do not think at a high level and that's this guy.
I learned and keep learning so much with Dave. He’s my number one financial advisor. He’s a blessing to so many people. God bless you Dave and your company.
It’s so nice to have a consistent voice of reason to listen to to keep your own head on straight about your own life. So glad I found Dave so young
22yrs old and making $150K? My goodness, he should have so much lined up for him. Hope he can get on a good path.
150k living with roomate and cant afford 1500 for living. Sounds like consistantly lies
“What did you fill that hole with” wasn’t a question of how he’s making it up financially. Gambling is an addiction and like most addictions rooted in psychological problems. If he can’t find something tho fill that hole he’ll be right back at the casino.
Yeah well maybe instead of using a metaphor he should have asked the more straightforward question.
@@robloxvids2233its a weaker aspect of his delivery he uses psych speak when addressing callers but hey No one’s perfect
But now he'll at least feel guilty when he goes now.
"My shovel broke" i.e. ran out of money to gamble so can't gamble
There may not be a hole. Some people drink bc there is a hole or a problem. Other drink bc they like the high. Some people gamble bc they like the high or winning. The same could be said for collecting sports cards which is a form of gambling. People get hooked on winning money or pulling a great card out of a box. It’s a high that people want more of
I was so relieved when I heard he makes 150. And even more when he said he was 22. There’s time for him to get all of these debts paid and a good lesson for him. I was expecting this guy to be in his 40’s making $40k a year with 4kids. Glad he’s actually young.
He’s probably making 40-50k max. He said that his paycheck is $987, around 5 min mark. Dave should have have sorted out his math right then.
@@icelandic_mughal2223you’re wrong. He works in sales and gets his commission at the end of the month. That’s when all the money comes in. That 987 is just base pay.
@icelandic_mughal2223 Exactly. He said he's on track to make $150k, but it's sales. That doesn't mean anything. I don't even believe that part.
Yeah the kid is full of shit.
@@SweetEssievery true.
he has 84k in student loans, that payment starts in october! better get to work jack!
Don’t have to now with Bidens SAVE plan
Lol they gambling on us tax payers paying it off for him. Congress won’t pass it tho.
@@travisfeld97 us supreme court will take care of that
@@travisfeld97 If it is like other income based plans he will be paying if he makes 150k. Not paying 0 making that much.
and not bankruptable ..
Oh this hurt to watch. Addiction is horrible... the battle isn't over.
Dave just upgraded the beans and rice diet with hot dogs, nothing is real anymore 😮😮
😂😂😂
And Polony lols 😂😂
Yeah but the guy makes $150k. LoL
@@PInk77W1 "on track to make about $150k"
I love how supportive you all are when someone is getting counseling, bettering their mental health. We need more of that in the world!
As a 56 year-old single schoolteacher who just became debt-free this morning at 9 a.m. (with a 3-month emergency savings account) ..... Stories like yours remind me of why it was so good of my ex-husband to decide to leave me. I was never going to get ahead financially so long as I was with someone who didn't value financial freedom as much as i do.
So if he never left you you would’ve still been in that situation? I don’t understand why woman wanna blame or give credit to a man who is in a dark place in there life. You have to take some accountability because you stayed and supported for as long as you did. Absolutely no need to mention your ex
Congrats
You sick if you are a Christian you stay with your husband through good and bad. Shame on you and are culture.
@@thegianttreeservice63 Maybe you should understand narcissistic abuse before you judge. It's really easy to judge when you don't know what a covert narcissist can do. Narcs love to drain people of their money.
Truth.
I lost $5 on gambling and lost $200 in buffet in vegas last month.
I lost $2,000 at the casino while taking homemade lunch up there lol.
Buffets in Vegas are amazing though
Ramsey's advice is obviously good and right on point, but I have a feeling that this guy is being honest about how bad of a situation he's in
It drives me nuts when people say Dave is mean to people. He's so kind and caring, it really shows in this call. Why do some people not get that?
He is no trying to sound super awesome about how stuff works either.
people just want to complain about Dave because they cant admit to themselves that dave is right about money and they are wrong.
@@crashtestdummy1972 Dave is human so he is not super cool to everyone. That is an observation and we all likely have done similar things at one point.
@donaldlyons17 oh for sure. I also think its also about it being cool to hate on dave too but that might be a small group
Entitlement and lack of accountability. You need people that will be blunt about stuff so you will change
Time to make some changes, he probably in the damn casino right now😂😂
22 years old and making about $150k?!?! What am I doing wrong?! Lol
I’m 62 and retired and make $50k.
I have no debt at all. My home paid off
Money in the bank. Travel the world.
Life is good. Never gambled ever.
There’s a reason they got big giant gold buildings in Vegas
@@PInk77W1great point.
@@PInk77W1 And when I left, the lights were still on!
😂😂 so relatable
@iBryanDBrown He said he is in sales. If you find the right sales position with a company you believe in it's very possible to clear that amount.
What a great call.
22yo and has lost 6-digit in gambling. This is pretty scary for him.
I had friend who ran a successful business and lost everything to gambling. Very early in his gambling, he went to a casino and won $40k in one night, he went back the next night and won $30k. I went to a casino with him once and he dropped $1000 in $20 slot machines. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, a whole stack of $20s being sucked into a slot machine one by one until the whole stack was gone.
He kept gambling and over the next few years he lost so much more money, he started borrowing against his business and ended up losing it. If family didn’t step in he would likely have lost his house and been left destitute.
For the life of me I don’t understand this addiction. You clearly see your life savings and everything you worked for just slipping away, but you just keep thinking you can win it all back
They always the worst thing you can happen when you visit a casino for the first time is win. You're forever thinking you'll repeat it.
@@PositivelyPam I'm sure you're right. I've only gambled once (many decades ago) and limited myself to $2 in nickels. I kept hitting the jackpot, about $20 at a time. We had to leave to go home in another state or I'd still be there putting my nickels in that dang machine.
I began my investment journey at the age of 33, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity..
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $500k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
wow that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio..
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement..
I hope Dave gets called by a robber to ask for financial advice for what to do with the stolen money. 🤣
This guy is going to figure it out, just takes time, he’ll get it
He'll figure it out he will
Dave’s accent jumped out when talking to this caller! 😂 I love it.
I’m glad he is getting therapy, that coupled with a defined plan will help him out of this mess, God willing.
I lost it when Dave started saying groceries, bologna, hotdogs 😭😭
We all gamble differently… stay discipline
It is crazy that people can’t figure this on their own. 😢
I am not much of a gambler but once in Las Vegas I started with $20 and was up to $400 on video poker. Decided to use that money on a $5 slot machine because I had never done that. So it was $15 a pull. Lost $350 so fast and it was so painful. Never again. Haha
they pump pure oxygen into the casinos so you get a high and willing to fork out money. it works.
need this guy in my poker games
My favorite book is about gamblers and understanding the game. Please read Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein. This book can help to understand a compulsive gambler and casino.
I hope you quit gambling for good. Gambling destroyed our family. Torn it apart.
❤ hope things are better for you
i’m telling you. gambling addiction will ruin your relationships with friends and even more so if you borrow money from them. you get so lost on the gambling high that you’re delusional about having meaningful human interaction. still wish i never did it
I agree I have lost so much money gambling it's the only thing that excit me I am unfulfilled in every area of my life all I love to do is gamble it's bad have lost about 7,000 this month alone
I always think when I’m in the casino (sadly after losing) that Dave would say rich people do not get rich winning here
Rich people didn't get there spending the money on nice restaurants or big screen TV's or Taylor Swift concerts either. Casinos are just one way to entertain and if done within limits nothing wrong with it.
Casinos are the devil's playground because that's where people become addicted to gambling if they win a few dollars. You win it you lose it. It's a vicious cycle! It's like using an illicit drug for the first time, the euphoria of the high is so phenomenal, it keeps you coming back for more and before you know it, you're an addict. All it takes is one time and it's the same for gambling! Your very first winnings can get you hooked and turn your life into a living hell, and you will lose everything including your family. A gambling addiction is like any other uncontrollable addictions such as: drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, pornography and it needs an intervention for rehab and the power of God to defeat it. The devil only comes to steal, kill and destroy. That's his only mission.
He did not answer the question. What has he filled the void with? Hopeless and unwilling to change bad habits yet. 😢
Check to check with 150k a year … how
Cheap thrills don’t fill, they actually drain you.
He needs to win it back.😂
He was thinking his 84K student loan was going to be paid off by others and decided to hit the tables.
Its really hard to believe some of these calls
Seems like a bogus call.
I've done some slots in the past, but to be honest when I lose it really turns me off to gambling. I haven't been in a casino and probably 3 years because the last time I was in there I lost $400 in about 10 minutes.
I'm surprised his car hasn't been repossessed already with three delinquent payments.
22 year old salesman making 150k? He's not done gambling. He may not be done by 30. You can tell by how he answered the question "well I've WON and lost 6 figures." His first thought was still about that juicy win when he donked a $500 buy-in, running hot, and winning it all when his 27 call of KK all-in went K2722. He thinks he's got "it."
Is it common for salespeople to make that much? He is super young so he can’t have that much experience justifying that high salary.
Yup. I'm a poker player and anyone who says I've won and lost is likely to be a losing player. Either you are profitable, break even, or a losing player. He's a losing player who thinks his wins are indicative of his play and his losing sessions are bad luck
@knightfox4121 Depends. Salespeople generally make good money and the sky is the limit if you're good. He probably sells giant monster trucks.
@@knightfox4121yes, it’s pretty common. I’m also 22 and will also break 6 figures this year. Salespeople either make $40K a year or $100K+ a year. It can certainly be lucrative if you’re good at what you do.
@@knightfox4121good salespeople can easily clear over six figures
Some people just get stuck. Like that game stuck in the mud. Need someone to help.
Ramsay said bologna, hot dog, should add ramen in there too!!😂
Those are rookie numbers! 😂
Ive never understood why i would give my money away to an gambling enterprise
The win is the rush, some people win big and become hooked.
I was just about to get back to sports betting this week smh
Still cheaper than marriage/divorce
😂😂💀
Yep😂
50/50 gamble too. It's like flipping a coin for a small fortune.
@@untouchable360x It’s like flipping a coin to lose a big fortune more like.
I hope that fellow follows through. He's paid a hefty chunk of tuition at the school of life so would be nice if some good came from it. I wouldn't have steered him towards a religious sort of counseling myself. My experience there has been the main reason they want you to stop spending elsewhere is so they can get their hands on it. But I realize like everything in life there are good counselors and not so good ones. Here's hoping he's hooked up with the former.
Why do you have 3 cars 😂😂😂
i had a distant family member who literally gambled away the family business the ancestral home and all the land .
it was unbelievable .
I am so fed up with gambling. They put the instant scratch tickets in the local convenience stores with dollar symbols and bright colors, but it is nothing but a facade. Buying them is like lighting your money on fire. I know I am better off without them and I have done a terrific job not spending my money on them and saving over the past 3 years.
@ 6:46 I heard Dave ask " is your liquor" bill behind", and the dude on the phone I think heard the same thing. He asked Dave to repeat himself and Dave said "electric and water". wtf lol
geeze addictions are things that once you get them you have to manage them for the rest of your life, and gambling is possible the worst addiction because once you get behind you will always have that mentality of making back what you lost. What on earth made him even start gambling when he is already making so much money, so crazy.
I say the title of this video, and my responses was, “🤦🏼♂️.”
How do you rack up 90k in student loans for a career in sales? What
I’m down about 6 or 7 grand from both blackjack and poker, I haven’t played in almost 2 years I have plenty of money to gamble with and even 2 years later the urge to go ‘get my money back’ or get even, is still quite strong
Have you ever considered joining a gambling anonymous support group? Having a gambling addiction is like any other addiction, that can completely ruin your life. There are gambling addicts who had lost everything in their lives.
Get that money back, but through a more reliable strategy.
@@talyahr3302what stupid advise. Sometimes it’s better to accept it and just continue you’re life. That 7k will come back from other things in life.
@@slimdude2011 he's not a gambling addict.
Never chase losses. Sounds easy but it takes willpower.
The casino (house) ALWAYS wins!😂😂😂
That's what the great philosopher, Dean Martin, said in the original Ocean's Eleven.
He's feeling that end of the last run shame. He needs to understand why he indulges in negative behaviors and fix that 1st otherwise when he has a few dollars saved he'll go back.
I'm a gambler. But there is a limit you MUST adhere to or completely STOP. I have a 1000$ per year limit. I make 100k a year. It's entertainment.
That is how it starts for most people and then it turns into $1000 in a night making terrible decisions
Bro 150k at 22 is AMAZING!!
84K in student loans!! His degree/s didn’t help him did it! Proves going to college won’t necessarily mean you’re smart! Im a NP my student loans weren’t 84K!!!
He didn’t need to call Dave Ramsey to help him with that
I wonder how much of the student loan money was gambled off
Coming to the realization that you need to make some changes is a big first step.
@dougholdem2898 - Exactly. He realized his mistakes, and he could pay off his debts slowly but surely. If he follows David's plan strictly he be saving money not gambling.
He is making six figures but has a car payment
That means your about to win big.
Nope. Most gamblers go their whole life without winning big. Many of them are homeless.
I live in Las Vegas and I’ve never gambled. I do buy a lottery ticket when I go to California a few times a year just for fun. I’ve never won a dollar haha
I dont gamble either. I buy $100 every time the powerball is real high. My track record is nothing won yet!!!
Probably a grand in the hole.

Just remember 99% of gamblers quit before they hit it big

Advice to anyone that is playing poker, bankroll management is a massive deal. Never risk more than you are willing to lose and always assume going in that the money is gone. Never take out loans to gamble. I promise if you need to take out a loan to do it, you aren't good enough to justify taking it out. Take care of yourself and don't put yourself in a hole over a card game.
Right, poker isn't really gambling if you can play and have an edge. But you can still run bad for months.
Bubba is playing at this. Ain't NO way he'll follow one stitch of Dave's advice. This was a John Delony call. Too bad Dave kept him out of it
Did he say he’s going to make $150k but his check is less than $1,000??? I’m surprised Dave didn’t say anything about that 🤣🤣
Sounds like he's still betting, but it's betting on commissions being made in the future.
@Lil-Whiskies 🤣🤣‼️
U heard some words but u didn’t listen… he said he has 1000 coming up end of week and 8000 end of month and Dave said he should be getting back on track with that end of month income…
He has his commission check for about 8k at end of month.
😂 sounds like a smart guy
He hasn't addressed the gambling addiction yet.
You can say it - "a safe place". Don't be scurred
In Gambling there aren't any Loosers, only Winners and Quitter...
Yet another idiot that doesn't know the difference between "loose" and "lose"
All gamblers are losers. You lose the moment you begin gambling.
22 years old and making $150k and had at least $100k to lose???? Wow.
Damn 3 car payments and student loans is brutal. 22 making 100k is really good though.
22 old lost 100k at 21 and making 150k …
When you're in a hole, stop digging. Nowhere is this more true than when it comes to gambling.
Dave's face when he said 22...
John's reaction when the guy mentioned $84k in student loans . . .
I do sports betting online and i make a profit almost every day, sometimes small, sometimes big. But every now and then i feel a rush of temptation to make a stupid bet "on the off chance it makes me rich" lol. Ive never entertained that temptation but I see (or feel) how easy it could be for some people to give in.
