Retired early with no savings but (by God's mercy only) no debt, and we consider ourselves blessed. We chose to sell our five-bedroom, three-bath home, and buy a mobile home sitting on 23 acres centered in the middle of pine trees. We're on vacation every day so there's no desire or need to vacation elsewhere. Our trust in God has never failed us and you can trust him too. A little is much when God is your Savior.
I am glad you are satisfied with the simplicity of life. For at the end, when we leave this earth- we bring nothing with us. As long as you are debt free, live simply and happy, satisfied and blessed by our Savior- that’s all that matters.
@@MoKu932 Many are the trials and tribulations John 16:33 so I know how quickly life can and will change and you're correct we will take nothing with us. For now, I am enjoying the lull. ❣
I am learning quite a bit. Only if I would have heard of Dave 25 years ago. 🙏🏽 52 year old divorcee, I kept my home, no debt. Unfortunately, I pay $1, 000 in alimony. I was married to someone who didn’t believe in SAVING money and spent way much more than she earned. I was always working hard to provide for my family, but she never appreciated it. I have one goal right now in paying off my mortgage. I hope I am doing the right thing. My interest rate is 2.99%, but I have decided as of next month I will start paying extra to principal to pay it off, so I can retire without a mortgage payment.
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 .
Until the Fed clamps down even further I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now with financial markets will be best you seek a fin-professional with fiduciary responsibilities who knows about mortgage-backed securities for proper guidance.
Brilliant! I wrote my first essay on why gambling ruins families..grade 7..they removed slots and other gambling in town completely so was i. The air..
But God can take it away. We can’t take the wealth with us when we go. Not sure why he’s hanging onto that much wealth ! As a Christian this doesn’t make sense.
I also owned lots of acrage in 2 states, my husband divorced me and all was lost. I am ready to retire and still broke.😢 Not everything turns out as we planned. I had a lot and now nothing. My ex went bankrupt and that hurt me for 10 years I had no credit. All while being diagnosed with cancer having two major surgeries, and just having the clothes that I had and my car. So how is that for a sad story, I thought we had it made, our future was secured. I depend on the grace of God.
@cjhoward409 Christians get money to help other people not to die with the most money. The LOVE of money is wrong. Having money is not wrong. That is an excuse people use to explain poverty.
@@cjhoward409absolutely God can take it all away! We should hold our wealth new sleep. I will say that having well run rental properties available is a blessing to so many people though! Getting evicted because your landlord mishandles his finances is no joke!
I will have baby step 1 completed by next week. Baby step 2 will be completed by November and then I’ll be ready for baby step 3. Add to my emergency fund. I’m so excited 😊
So glad I found you so early in life. I'm 19, getting married in 8 days, and "only" have one form of debt that we are paying off by April of next year or earlier. We budget, we live on less than what I have make, and we will contribute 15% of our income after the debt is paid off. By the time we're 65 we will have 10 million in retirement
I hope you have great health until retirement. You are young and there are many situations that come your way that you have no control over. Even death. I am 70 years old and a nurse in my younger years. I wish you well.
The story that begins around minute 2 & ends around minute 9, is exactly what I needed to hear. The focus after the baby steps. Now I'm refocused! Thank you for the inspiration! No bankers involved!!!!
The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.
Investing in both real estate and stocks can be prudent choices, particularly when backed by a robust trading strategy that can navigate you through prosperous periods.You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $745k working with an investment coach for more than two years.

Uncle Pat’s Financial Advice: The Best I ever Received 1. “If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.” 2. “If you need it pay cash for it.” 3. “An American education will teach you everything about how to make money and nothing about how to manage money.”
Tiffany & Kyle - perseverance & discipline - and becoming debt free on a modest income. Their journey reminds of Jacqueline's journey (2 weeks ago) and how she paid off her house & debts on a modest income. These examples are far more inspiring than 'big debt canceled by huge income'
Thank you! We totally agree! We've been saying how ours is the story that we'd been looking for on this journey! I hope we can inspire others to do the same!
“I have a PHD in D.U.M.B”😂oh I wish Dave would do a class or book on real estate for dummies! And investing! He explains and describes so anyone should be able to follow. Love his style!
yes, but Dave’s only advice is have someone else take care of your money and I think that’s DUMB dumb. In my opinion, you should invest your money and put it in a brokerage and be a self directed stock and bond. Investor ETF some mutual funds if that’s what you like, but no one takes care of your own money as much as you do. No one cares about your money as much as you do is what SuzieOrman says. i’ve read all of his books and I’ve read about 50 or 60 books on finances plus I am part of investing websites such as the Mötley fool would suggest you pick at least 25 stocks and invest it in a diversified manner but if you pick your own stocks, then you do your own research and you own part of the company with a mutual fund you let someone else take care of it and you don’t get as good as returns as you can with stock investing

I’m looking for people who can think on their own not just join the cult of and only allow him to make decisions for your life. Please think with your own head in your own eyes and make your own decisions, don’t make Dave Ramsey‘s decision. He’s good about getting out of debt, but beyond that with investing, he doesn’t really have to say in my stock investing because he wants me to hand it over to smart Investor pro which I did and I absolutely hated it smarter. Pro was so conservative that it was just a joke.
and he didn’t let me pick any of my own stocks so it was a joke. There was no thinking, and he thought you could do better controlling my money than I could, and boy was out of steak of his because I took my money out and made a lot more money with Nvidiathan if I had just given it over to a bunch of ETFs in different sectors
I thank God for letting me hear Ramsey show couple of weeks ago. We recently buy 395k home for residence. What shifts my thinking is this show. Once I hear baby steps, I discussed with my wife, calculate the cost and benefit and immediately start applying. We had car and funiture loan of about 12k. We just paid off the 12k debt and divert the monthly payment of $600/month to extra mortgage payment monthly so that we can pay it early and save interest rate. if we keep doing this, we can pay off our mortgage atleast 13 years early. Fascinating and now I'm thinking we'll pay it off even sooner than 10 years. We have 9k on saving as an emergency and we are working on it to save more. Thank you Dave and I'll see you 8 years later when I'm free of my mortgage. Love u'l
A lot of times, people know what they should do. They just don't want to plan ahead. They want what they want now, and they can't give up what they want now to plan ahead.
And this is PRECISELY what got me into insane amounts of debt. Years of self soothing thru shopping snd indulging and living way beyond my means. Its all taking a 180 now.
Dave… I’ve faithfully listened for decades and with a break coming back to these shows, I was delighted to hear your familiar voice… It’s SO ODD to hear you, Dave, doing ads! What world is this? 😂 Digging the music
Engaging in an individual option is fair but its performance level can’t generate high dividends. Diversification is the secret to optimal performance, that’s why I have my interest set on options based on projected growth and performance.
So I'm truly a 48 yr old nobody I feel that lost my entire family except my 25 yr old child. I make 65k a year then in the spring through summer I do mowing lawns on top of my full-time job. Bring about 500.00 a month for that have no savings I rent own my car have about 4k in credit card debt and just feel like I'm worth absolutely crap to the world 😢. I found you about a few weeks ago Dave and love your videos but have no clue where to begin in my life. But still smile along with you all on the silly things us humans do to ourselves and truly enjoy your shows thanks God bless Dave!😊❤
Pay off debts and stop using credit cards. Start an emergency bank account. Listen to Dave!!!! Live within your means! Eat rice and beans. No restaurant, no takeout, no Starbucks. Overcome addictions bc addictions will make you broke. Listen to Dave.
Dave Ramsey is the only presenter who truly knows what he’s talking about when he advises callers. He listens thoughtfully and actually helps them. The other young presenters are very good at repeating what the 7 baby steps are but otherwise, they don’t have the wisdom that he has. Perhaps in time.
I remember Robert Allen. I bought both of his books and even went it his seminars. Someone was looking out for me though because the banks would never lend me the money to buy properties. 😄 It saved me a lot of heartache.
This is why I will always follow Dave Ramsey. He gives the advice that he gives because he understands how bad things can get when things go wrong. There may be other steps out there to help you reach greater levels of success, but his steps make it far less likely for you to fail.
When I listen to Dave … I feel for his callers … gladiator slaves going into a roman arena like situation …waiting for Cesar thumbs up 👍 or thumbs down 👎…. Thx 🙏 to their courage and Dave incredible ethics … I see through the Grrr and yapping … so much compassion coming from Dave and his companions … I am a recent widow .October 6 2022. Broke, but not broken… Thank You so much for what you do !!!
Hi! I just want to encourage you. My husband died Feb 2022. We followed Dave's plan together. I'm not broken either. I'm here for you. I'll cheer you on. This is hard enough to go through with out my husband. But I know Dave's principles help me tap into a peace that is just incredible.
It's tough for sure. Maybe you can motivate him gradually over time if he is a brick wall. Easier if you share a bank account. Make a savings labeled as Emergency so he can see. Downsize your car so you can move money into it. Make him aware why you are doing it and that it's for you both and your family. Ask him to match your monthly input too. Make a Vacation savings and ask him to match your input there too. Be specific and ask him to move $50 to X account on Y day. Some guys can't break down anything vague into an actionable item. Vacation savings could make him feel good if he likes vacations. Sometimes people mirror their partner's goals and hobbies without realizing it. Best of luck.
@icawn thank you. I've done all n these things already. We both have access to the bank accounts. I'm doing the steps anyway but I wanted him to come along with me. I'm happy to drag him if need be.
3:30 Keep the condo, a.k.a. buy-and-hold. Dump the expensive car. Get a $10,000 A to B car. Sacrifice and save, live below your means and invest. That's equally good advice.
The caller never said he was making a ton of money on having the car debt, he said it made sense, which it does. $1,000 per year is nothing to sneeze at. I make a high income and would love an extra 1k per yr.
Walk in, walk out, and just assume the store charged you the right amount...yeah, not going to happen for me. I'm 72 and I lost track of the number of times stores have tried to over charge me. The man wanting to know how much to spend on a second home: A $2.5 million "second" home is not going to be the wife's "second" home. And your early retirement is going to be postponed. She hasn't told you yet, but you're moving.
I told my father-in-law about us needing a bigger vehicle now that we have 6 kids. My current vehicle is paid for plus we have some to cover extra cost after trade-in. My father in law says we can't find a good car without getting a loan. I said I will! 😊
That's right! Amen and amen! People need to take control of their money. If you want to be a high earner that's your right. Normally people control how much they spend and how much they make. Usually their finances and financial information is not a public affair. As a Christian, I have had businesses and people blatantly play with my money, impose limits on it without legitimate reason, and I feel it is all tied to something satanic or evil. I appreciate videos like this, where its ok to discuss financial growth and gain. I appreciate people that don't make money a male or female issue, but a human means to better living! Thanks be to Dave Ramsey!
Growing up I had no financial guidance. Once I entered adulthood, I was in debt city for years because I thought having job to pay the bills was enough. We'll I lost the job and everything with it (apartment, car, credit rating, friends, and everything g else that's wasn't on my back). I cashed out my 401k just to survive day-to-day on the street for 19 months. That experience taught me valuable lessons and it changed my behavior forever. I'm employed and I am debt free. I look back on those days to never forget the road I traveled to have contentment. God forbid if I should lose my job again. But thank God it would be the only thing I would lose. Emergency fund of 5 years till I found something else.
There is good debt… if you have debt at 3% but invest your capital in market and make 9%, your debt is good debt. Dave Ramsey isn’t an expert in finance.
Hey everyone! Since i started following The Ramsey show 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.
When it comes to all of this, I personally pay off debt while saving money. Anything can happen like this pandemic. So to put all my money towards debt is a no go. We need to be teaching how to get out of debt and save money for pandemic emergencies. I have $50,000 of debt, while saving for a house to pay for a $500,000 home flat cash. I put $2000 into the debt per month, $1,500 on living expenses and $7,500/month saving for the home. I will be ready to buy my home flat cash January 2025 and I feel good as ever even with $50,000 of debt!
Why would you choose to pay interest on a 50k debt for more than 25 months, when you could have paid it off in 6? If you had thrown 9500/month at the debt 7 months ago (when you wrote this) if would be gone, and you could be putting 9500 toward your home now. Personally I’d rather not pay any more interest than necessary.
The first step to building wealth is figuring out your goaIs and risk toIerance - either on your own or with the heIp of a financiaI pIanner, and foIIowing through with an inteIIigent pIan, you wiII gain financiaI growth over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
72 no debt at all... thanks Dave for your suggestions. Went back to work for the challenge and fun of it. Doing restoration of a 120 beautiful camp in VT. Not mine but the owners are great.
Dave your next book should be going through what the scriptures say about money, you have such great content on that but having a complied resource and commentary would be cool.
Dave did not hear the question for the second caller. That seemed so rude. Especially for one that had been so hurt from a divorce. At least hear him out Ramsey...
I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused about the current market volatility, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.
I’ve been on both end of the spectrum, I was lnvesting on my own for about 3years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult after the pandemic which was right about when I reached out to a portfoIio-advisor for guidance, It’s been over 2 years and I’ve scaled up a stagnant reserve of $280K to $700k in just about 24months.
@@anniezeng4587 How can one find a verifiable financial Planner, I buy the idea of employing the services of a Financial Advisor because finding that balance between saving and living requires counsel.
@@anniezeng4587 I am extremely grateful to hop on this success journey and also ready to accept the VOLATILITY..I did find her page on the web and also proceeded in scheduling a call.
I can tell how irked DR was listening to the lady with the cleaning business when she mentioned the budget mama on TikTok or as DR would call it TikTac, 😂
Or he could have some kind of social disability. There are people who are autistic and brilliant, and can make a lot of money in a job that requires technical expertise, but struggle to keep a home life on their own.
It is difficult to know what he did, but if it’s true he has a decent paying job to cover child support and alimony, six figures. He cut his expenses close to zero by living out of his car and became obsessed with saving and investing. After the Covid drop in the stock market, it’s been roaring forward. To reach a million in four years, he probably did not start at zero and sold all his possessions when homeless saved and invested like crazy. A lot of assumptions 😂
If it was something like real estate or some high paying tech field he could have been making 200-350k a year, and living with relatives, sounded like he was living on very little *Edit* plus, I feel like when he said 'almost on the streets' it meant he lost the house and went thru a genuinely hard time, but I don't think his account was ever empty
For Brittany's question from Saint Louis is exactly why I use YNAB as it accounts for everything and you don't budget money before it arrives in your account!
I think I’m the exception to the cash-pain rule. I’ve operated using my debit card/online banking pretty much my whole financial (over a decade) so I “feel” it more when I see the balance go down with each transaction. Cash almost doesn’t feel real to me since I so infrequently use it! 😅
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $45,000 equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
Regardless of whether you're a wise person, it's best to consult a professional advisor right away. As a business owner in the service industry as well as an eBay reseller of all product categories, I can attest to the fact that we are in a severe recession and that everyone is running out of money.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $885k in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.

My books will be here today. The three pack with the main book, workbook and baby steps book. I haven’t started anything. My finances are a mess. I just decided I can’t do this anymore. Now to figure out how and what to budget so I can put money to debt then savings. I’m a researcher. I’m not getting anything accomplished but I want to read your books. In the meantime I’m just trying to focus on spending less and finding knowledge. Next month I want to start the budget, track every expense etc and start paying more on debt. At this point still trying to figure out what my budget is so I know what I have. I have the app from your website and I’m filling it in. My expenses are hard reality checks. In a good way. Hope I’m on a good start. Then I will sit my husband down and discuss it with him. He needs to see total plan and results. Not just me having an idea He knows I want too.

Definitely buy some land to enjoy as a family retreat. The memories will be priceless. Another idea instead of just buying land for grandchildren, set up a trust for them. Invest a set amount, have it worked so they get scholarships to pay for further education in whatever field they want to work in, When the youngest grandchild is, say, 25 years old, divide what is left in the fund evenly amongst all the grandchildren. My grandmother actually did this for her great grandchildren. The 18 great grandchildren each received $25,000 , after a number of them withdrew from the fund - that’s $450,000 total. And the starting amount was around $20,000, invested wisely. 1990 to 202. If you did this for your great grandchildren, then you could also do a gift to each grandchild of a set amount to help them buy a house, etc.
Tom’s awesome!! 👏 what a great example that you can make $55k, and If live simple and frugal and budgeting and invest, can have 6 million!! He’s awesome!
Tom better NEVER go into a nursing home. Hire an incredible nurse for you & your wife when that time comes. Nursing homes kill. What an amazing net worth! Good for them.
Thank you so very much dear Dave Ramsey! Your books and radio and tutorials/ speeches have gotten me completely out of debt and I've more $'s than ever! (I'm putting it all in a trust for my grandchildren! )

The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.
Investing in both real estate and stocks can be prudent choices, particularly when backed by a robust trading strategy that can navigate you through prosperous periods.You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $745k working with an investment coach for more than two years.

Uncle Pat’s Financial Advice: The Best I ever Received
1. “If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.”
2. “If you need it pay cash for it.”
3. “An American education will teach you everything about how to make money and nothing about how to manage money.”
Tiffany & Kyle - perseverance & discipline - and becoming debt free on a modest income. Their journey reminds of Jacqueline's journey (2 weeks ago) and how she paid off her house & debts on a modest income. These examples are far more inspiring than 'big debt canceled by huge income'
Thank you! We totally agree! We've been saying how ours is the story that we'd been looking for on this journey! I hope we can inspire others to do the same!
George’s smile as Tiffany and Kyle told their story was wonderful. I still fight tears when I hear debt free screams, especially this one.
“I have a PHD in D.U.M.B”😂oh I wish Dave would do a class or book on real estate for dummies! And investing! He explains and describes so anyone should be able to follow. Love his style!
yes, but Dave’s only advice is have someone else take care of your money and I think that’s DUMB dumb. In my opinion, you should invest your money and put it in a brokerage and be a self directed stock and bond. Investor ETF some mutual funds if that’s what you like, but no one takes care of your own money as much as you do. No one cares about your money as much as you do is what SuzieOrman says. i’ve read all of his books and I’ve read about 50 or 60 books on finances plus I am part of investing websites such as the Mötley fool would suggest you pick at least 25 stocks and invest it in a diversified manner but if you pick your own stocks, then you do your own research and you own part of the company with a mutual fund you let someone else take care of it and you don’t get as good as returns as you can with stock investing

I listen to Dave Ramsey all the time, but I don’t agree with every single thing he says. I’m looking for people who can think on their own not just join the cult of and only allow him to make decisions for your life. Please think with your own head in your own eyes and make your own decisions, don’t make Dave Ramsey‘s decision. He’s good about getting out of debt, but beyond that with investing, he doesn’t really have to say in my stock investing because he wants me to hand it over to smart Investor pro which I did and I absolutely hated it smarter. Pro was so conservative that it was just a joke.
and he didn’t let me pick any of my own stocks so it was a joke. There was no thinking, and he thought you could do better controlling my money than I could, and boy was out of steak of his because I took my money out and made a lot more money with Nvidiathan if I had just given it over to a bunch of ETFs in different sectors
I thank God for letting me hear Ramsey show couple of weeks ago. We recently buy 395k home for residence. What shifts my thinking is this show. Once I hear baby steps, I discussed with my wife, calculate the cost and benefit and immediately start applying. We had car and funiture loan of about 12k. We just paid off the 12k debt and divert the monthly payment of $600/month to extra mortgage payment monthly so that we can pay it early and save interest rate. if we keep doing this, we can pay off our mortgage atleast 13 years early. Fascinating and now I'm thinking we'll pay it off even sooner than 10 years. We have 9k on saving as an emergency and we are working on it to save more. Thank you Dave and I'll see you 8 years later when I'm free of my mortgage. Love u'l
A lot of times, people know what they should do. They just don't want to plan ahead. They want what they want now, and they can't give up what they want now to plan ahead.
And this is PRECISELY what got me into insane amounts of debt. Years of self soothing thru shopping snd indulging and living way beyond my means. Its all taking a 180 now.
Dave… I’ve faithfully listened for decades and with a break coming back to these shows, I was delighted to hear your familiar voice…
It’s SO ODD to hear you, Dave, doing ads!
What world is this? 😂
Digging the music
It’s a world where I pay for a UA-cam subscription to get rid of ads but the influencers insert their own ad for more money.
I love Dave❤😂 He is so honest n so blunt.
Kyle and Tiffany are dear friends of mine and I could not be happier for them! Congratulations you guys, I got teary eyed 🥹💙
They're killing it! Awesome indeed.
$50,000 a year income with a paid off house, amazing...
I don’t even know them but I got teary eyed…So proud and happy for them…
A smart person learns from their own mistakes, a wise person learns from the mistakes of others. Dave is the ultimate example of this.
I have to watch this show every day to keep me in track 😂
Same 😂❤
I can't stop, I'm 66 yaras old
Me too
I thought I was the only one 😅😂
Engaging in an individual option is fair but its performance level can’t generate high dividends. Diversification is the secret to optimal performance, that’s why I have my interest set on options based on projected growth and performance.
can you explain in full the options you’re into...

I am amazed by this, it has rekindled the fire of my goal
Love hearing about how some people are turning their lives around financially and becoming successful people.
How adorable is the picture of that little boy holding the money from his lemonade stand sales?! that was so inspirational!
I absolutely loved that little guy too. What a champ!
So I'm truly a 48 yr old nobody I feel that lost my entire family except my 25 yr old child. I make 65k a year then in the spring through summer I do mowing lawns on top of my full-time job. Bring about 500.00 a month for that have no savings I rent own my car have about 4k in credit card debt and just feel like I'm worth absolutely crap to the world 😢. I found you about a few weeks ago Dave and love your videos but have no clue where to begin in my life. But still smile along with you all on the silly things us humans do to ourselves and truly enjoy your shows thanks God bless Dave!😊❤
Have a Dave Ramsey Coach… I use Cathy Schmeltz… I am already saving 1,000s.
Pay off debts and stop using credit cards. Start an emergency bank account. Listen to Dave!!!! Live within your means! Eat rice and beans. No restaurant, no takeout, no Starbucks. Overcome addictions bc addictions will make you broke. Listen to Dave.
10:33 a wise man once asked: how did you become so wise? He replied: by watching people, every stupid thing they do I avoid it.
Dave Ramsey is the only presenter who truly knows what he’s talking about when he advises callers. He listens thoughtfully and actually helps them. The other young presenters are very good at repeating what the 7 baby steps are but otherwise, they don’t have the wisdom that he has. Perhaps in time.
Except for his 8% withdrawl nonsense. He gonna ruin sone lives out there.
I don't know. I see the Kamel guy paying close attention to the numbers that are presented, and finishing Dave's sentences sometimes.
I remember Robert Allen. I bought both of his books and even went it his seminars. Someone was looking out for me though because the banks would never lend me the money to buy properties. 😄
It saved me a lot of heartache.
he was selling snake oil, it was working as long as he could get pay his notes, eventually the debt load got too big
I love George and Rachel together best. They are a hoot!

Before Dave even had a chance to answer the Jason (caller)! I knew Dave was about to rip him apart 😂😂😂
This is why I will always follow Dave Ramsey. He gives the advice that he gives because he understands how bad things can get when things go wrong.
There may be other steps out there to help you reach greater levels of success, but his steps make it far less likely for you to fail.
When I listen to Dave … I feel for his callers … gladiator slaves going into a roman arena like situation …waiting for Cesar thumbs up 👍 or thumbs down 👎….
Thx 🙏 to their courage and Dave incredible ethics …
I see through the Grrr and yapping … so much compassion coming from Dave and his companions …
I am a recent widow .October 6 2022. Broke, but not broken…
Thank You so much for what you do !!!
Hi! I just want to encourage you. My husband died Feb 2022. We followed Dave's plan together. I'm not broken either. I'm here for you. I'll cheer you on. This is hard enough to go through with out my husband. But I know Dave's principles help me tap into a peace that is just incredible.
Trying to follow the ramsay method with husband thats happy with how we live now. In debt but not in trouble and still living like we are debt free 😔
😢😢😢😢
It's tough for sure. Maybe you can motivate him gradually over time if he is a brick wall. Easier if you share a bank account. Make a savings labeled as Emergency so he can see. Downsize your car so you can move money into it. Make him aware why you are doing it and that it's for you both and your family. Ask him to match your monthly input too. Make a Vacation savings and ask him to match your input there too. Be specific and ask him to move $50 to X account on Y day. Some guys can't break down anything vague into an actionable item. Vacation savings could make him feel good if he likes vacations. Sometimes people mirror their partner's goals and hobbies without realizing it. Best of luck.
@icawn thank you. I've done all n these things already. We both have access to the bank accounts. I'm doing the steps anyway but I wanted him to come along with me. I'm happy to drag him if need be.
I am ALWAYS delighted to hear Dave's voice of reason, faith and common Sense w/out pain.
That's why people ask the question. JUST DONT MAKE PEOPLE FEEL STUPID. ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION, THATS WHY THEY CALL.
I agree 💯%
They're the epitome of the couple who "persevered"!!
Ecclesiates 9:11
Invest in the stock market.

Keep the condo, a.k.a. buy-and-hold. Dump the expensive car. Get a $10,000 A to B car. Sacrifice and save, live below your means and invest. That's equally good advice.
Sell car, pay off the investment condo off while living with girlfriend.
Everyone wants money, nobody wants discipline and sacrifice.
The caller never said he was making a ton of money on having the car debt, he said it made sense, which it does. $1,000 per year is nothing to sneeze at. I make a high income and would love an extra 1k per yr.
Sure but is it worth the liability? Personally, not even a little bit.
Walk in, walk out, and just assume the store charged you the right amount...yeah, not going to happen for me. I'm 72 and I lost track of the number of times stores have tried to over charge me.
The man wanting to know how much to spend on a second home: A $2.5 million "second" home is not going to be the wife's "second" home. And your early retirement is going to be postponed. She hasn't told you yet, but you're moving.
I told my father-in-law about us needing a bigger vehicle now that we have 6 kids. My current vehicle is paid for plus we have some to cover extra cost after trade-in. My father in law says we can't find a good car without getting a loan. I said I will! 😊
That's right! Amen and amen! People need to take control of their money. If you want to be a high earner that's your right. Normally people control how much they spend and how much they make. Usually their finances and financial information is not a public affair. As a Christian, I have had businesses and people blatantly play with my money, impose limits on it without legitimate reason, and I feel it is all tied to something satanic or evil. I appreciate videos like this, where its ok to discuss financial growth and gain. I appreciate people that don't make money a male or female issue, but a human means to better living! Thanks be to Dave Ramsey!
I'm using velocity banking and I am knocking out debt superfast.
I'll be able to pay off a 30 year mortgage in less than 9 years.
Growing up I had no financial guidance. Once I entered adulthood, I was in debt city for years because I thought having job to pay the bills was enough. We'll I lost the job and everything with it (apartment, car, credit rating, friends, and everything g else that's wasn't on my back). I cashed out my 401k just to survive day-to-day on the street for 19 months. That experience taught me valuable lessons and it changed my behavior forever. I'm employed and I am debt free. I look back on those days to never forget the road I traveled to have contentment. God forbid if I should lose my job again. But thank God it would be the only thing I would lose. Emergency fund of 5 years till I found something else.
We love ya Dave!
Good show. Taking notes. Paid off student loan in August. Thank God. It's worth it. God bless everyone.
When that guy told dave he had healthy debt, I laughed and said you've rang the wrong guy for that.
There is good debt… if you have debt at 3% but invest your capital in market and make 9%, your debt is good debt.
Dave Ramsey isn’t an expert in finance.
Standing ovation man and show ❤❤❤❤
Hit home with the desperate to stupid and then broke! Currently, I am starting over now and wise. Thanks
This is my fave debt free scream by far, not making mega bucks and hero’s of their finances. Very relatable and inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Hey everyone! Since i started following The Ramsey show 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.
When it comes to all of this, I personally pay off debt while saving money. Anything can happen like this pandemic. So to put all my money towards debt is a no go. We need to be teaching how to get out of debt and save money for pandemic emergencies. I have $50,000 of debt, while saving for a house to pay for a $500,000 home flat cash. I put $2000 into the debt per month, $1,500 on living expenses and $7,500/month saving for the home. I will be ready to buy my home flat cash January 2025 and I feel good as ever even with $50,000 of debt!
You have more discipline than many. Dave is far people like me with less ability to plan
Why would you choose to pay interest on a 50k debt for more than 25 months, when you could have paid it off in 6? If you had thrown 9500/month at the debt 7 months ago (when you wrote this) if would be gone, and you could be putting 9500 toward your home now. Personally I’d rather not pay any more interest than necessary.

"We're going to get all up in your grill because we love you", spoken like a father, appreciate that
72 no debt at all... thanks Dave for your suggestions. Went back to work for the challenge and fun of it. Doing restoration of a 120 beautiful camp in VT. Not mine but the owners are great.
I felt the “if you’re good at it they give you the tougher kids” 😂😂
Dave your next book should be going through what the scriptures say about money, you have such great content on that but having a complied resource and commentary would be cool.
knowing what your money is going to do before it goes out gives peace of mind and saving can be addicting 😊
Tiffany and Kyle made me cry….so happy for them!!
Also advice on being content with what you have is great advice and not comparing yourself to others
Can wait for the live stream tonight . My kid knows to stay off my phone so it can charge when she’s home from school . Haha . We need this !
Dave did not hear the question for the second caller. That seemed so rude. Especially for one that had been so hurt from a divorce. At least hear him out Ramsey...
I'm in San Diego and the Hilary hurricane reference was hilarious
this show changed my whole perspective and got me on the good foot
Oh good! I was waiting for a new show
455m in property. Thats incredible 🎉
Even more incredible is that it's all paid off!!!🎉🎉🎉
I came here to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k. Somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm confused about the current market volatility, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.
I’ve been on both end of the spectrum, I was lnvesting on my own for about 3years, did my own study and analysis before actually buying, things became rather difficult after the pandemic which was right about when I reached out to a portfoIio-advisor for guidance, It’s been over 2 years and I’ve scaled up a stagnant reserve of $280K to $700k in just about 24months.
@@anniezeng4587 How can one find a verifiable financial Planner, I buy the idea of employing the services of a Financial Advisor because finding that balance between saving and living requires counsel.

Can y’all pay an editor to remove the intermissions? I’d be happy to do it. It’s a simple post upload cut
I am thankful for these testimonies. I am inspired to keep moving on this plan!
I can tell how irked DR was listening to the lady with the cleaning business when she mentioned the budget mama on TikTok or as DR would call it TikTac, 😂
Why didn’t he ask how that guy went from practically homeless to millionaire in 4 years? Think that guy was lying 🤥
Yes! I want to know what he did/does so I can do it too!!
Or he could have some kind of social disability. There are people who are autistic and brilliant, and can make a lot of money in a job that requires technical expertise, but struggle to keep a home life on their own.
It is difficult to know what he did, but if it’s true he has a decent paying job to cover child support and alimony, six figures. He cut his expenses close to zero by living out of his car and became obsessed with saving and investing. After the Covid drop in the stock market, it’s been roaring forward. To reach a million in four years, he probably did not start at zero and sold all his possessions when homeless saved and invested like crazy. A lot of assumptions 😂
If it was something like real estate or some high paying tech field he could have been making 200-350k a year, and living with relatives, sounded like he was living on very little
*Edit* plus, I feel like when he said 'almost on the streets' it meant he lost the house and went thru a genuinely hard time, but I don't think his account was ever empty
For Brittany's question from Saint Louis is exactly why I use YNAB as it accounts for everything and you don't budget money before it arrives in your account!
Long live Dave Ramsey!!
I think I’m the exception to the cash-pain rule. I’ve operated using my debit card/online banking pretty much my whole financial (over a decade) so I “feel” it more when I see the balance go down with each transaction. Cash almost doesn’t feel real to me since I so infrequently use it! 😅
Same here. I watch my numbers go up and down with paydays and expenses. I definitely feel it when I pay out.
Cash seems to disappear in my purse. I keep close eye on my debit card balances.
Me too!!!!
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $45,000 equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
Regardless of whether you're a wise person, it's best to consult a professional advisor right away. As a business owner in the service industry as well as an eBay reseller of all product categories, I can attest to the fact that we are in a severe recession and that everyone is running out of money.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $885k in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.

This was a good episode gives me insight into how I can get into this game of wealth building and how I can play it better.
My books will be here today. The three pack with the main book, workbook and baby steps book. I haven’t started anything. My finances are a mess. I just decided I can’t do this anymore. Now to figure out how and what to budget so I can put money to debt then savings. I’m a researcher. I’m not getting anything accomplished but I want to read your books. In the meantime I’m just trying to focus on spending less and finding knowledge. Next month I want to start the budget, track every expense etc and start paying more on debt. At this point still trying to figure out what my budget is so I know what I have. I have the app from your website and I’m filling it in. My expenses are hard reality checks. In a good way. Hope I’m on a good start. Then I will sit my husband down and discuss it with him. He needs to see total plan and results. Not just me having an idea He knows I want too.
Congrats to Kyle and Tiffany and the handsome boys!!! That is fu$%ing amazing!!! Debt free and home owners and the young age of 31, I wish I knew how that felt!
Definitely buy some land to enjoy as a family retreat. The memories will be priceless.
Another idea instead of just buying land for grandchildren, set up a trust for them. Invest a set amount, have it worked so they get scholarships to pay for further education in whatever field they want to work in, When the youngest grandchild is, say, 25 years old, divide what is left in the fund evenly amongst all the grandchildren.
My grandmother actually did this for her great grandchildren. The 18 great grandchildren each received $25,000 , after a number of them withdrew from the fund - that’s $450,000 total. And the starting amount was around $20,000, invested wisely. 1990 to 202.
If you did this for your great grandchildren, then you could also do a gift to each grandchild of a set amount to help them buy a house, etc.
Tom’s awesome!! 👏 what a great example that you can make $55k, and If live simple and frugal and budgeting and invest, can have 6 million!! He’s awesome!
I wish Dave would have let him finish saying his investments. I know he said Fidelity
Excellent show!!!
