      Disappointing. No one should be using a party name as an insult--certainly not when the other party has increased our national debt by over $1 TRILLION DOLLARS since inauguration day. We should //all// be contributing and getting this debt gone. The US is actually broke! I mean you couldn't run a household like this, just like he always explains to us.
      I love Dave as a person, but I really wish he'd "put his money where his mouth is," in how he views politics.

    I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

      I totally concur. I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1.2M in outside retirement savings. I don't have any debt, and the amount of retirement savings I have relative to the overall value of my portfolio over the last three years is minuscule. To be completely honest, using a portfolio advisor when investing is brilliant!

      It's very much possible. The maximum profit I have ever made in a quarter was about $600k. Its hard if you're not an expert though. I'm no expert, and so I invest through a financial advisor. Maybe I'd have made more if I could do it myself, but I'd rather not lose all my money.

The bank wanted us to find a bigger home with a $300,000 mortgage! NO WAY!!! That was 1992. We still live in that same starter home. We maxed out our Roth IRAs and retirement accounts every year and also invested in the stock market with the help of a financial planner. We love our way of life. It was not hard, just a way to live without financial worry. We have always traveled and enjoyed experiences. We also have nice things, just not as many things....which also makes life easier.

It really opened our eyes when we realized why we were struggling. We paid off all of our credit cards and a couple of loans, about 20k worth in about a year which was huge for us.

      @@icawn I had a similar problem too. The best thing to do is be up front about it and communicate to her what you want to accomplish with her as far as finances go. My wife has a problem with spending unnecessary money, like eating out, conservative purchases on clothing, etc.
      We're going from spending on whatever to trying to spend nothing at all, which is a huge change. I get that. So we worked out a compromise. When we get paid, we take a certain amount of cash out of our bank account that we use to spend on whatever we want. Judgement free. No questions asked.
      Having physical currency is slightly more difficult to spend, so my wife is starting to spend slightly less, so it helps. Since we started this, there have been less debit transactions from our bank account, and we have 100% accountability of where our money goes.
      I also reiterated to her that our credit cards were for emergencies only. Any and all credit card use from either of us needs to be communicated to each other.

      Then you just have to be smart and buy a super car that maintains its value or even appreciates. Those are the specialty Porsches and limited run Ferraris and Lambos.

    Relative thinks we’re crazy to follow Mr. Ramsey’s plan. We told him about our CASH emergency fund, and how much we have paid off in debt so far this year. AND we only found out about Dave Ramsey in February!! 2 months in of the years it’s gonna take to be debt free, and we’re ready for it.

      Do you know how Dave, recommend regarding old credit card debt. My ex gf was an authorized user of my cc. And now the card went to Collection agency for over $5k. Do know what Dave's concept is regarding this?

    • @KyraHogue
      @KyraHogue 5 років тому

      Pierre Lamothe I’m not too sure how he’d guide on the joint responsibilities of the CC. I do know he recommends against being financially joined until after marriage. For the collection agency, you can see if they’ll be willing to have you pay a lesser amount on the debt, “pennies to the dollar” as he would say. Don’t pay a dime until you get it in writing. But I just follow Financial Peace University, and am not affiliated with him. He may have a video on that topic on this channel.

      Santonio Poole many people, from Baby Step 1 through 7 teach FPU, and have credited actually teaching the classes and help others on their journey, to being able to win with money (both in becoming wealthy, and keeping your wealth).
      By the way, there are not only 5 or 6 principles to becoming wealthy. It sounds like you actually think that.

    • @Gas_man
      @Gas_man Рік тому

      But that’s an incredibly simplistic view of finances. Many people leverage their debt to allow their money to work harder for them than if they simply paid off their debt. This leads to a higher net worth in the long run and many people who are loaded actually carry some debt.

    I’ve read a gazillion books but no one has ever really helped other than this guys principles. They’re straight forward and easy to understand. He actually helps you to change your bad financial habits through his routine. It has so far helped me to pay off more than half of my house as a single parent on a low income. If I can do it anyone can.

      Believe it or not, you don’t have to be wealthy to do those things !
      God wants us to give sacrificially, not just our surplus. Trust me, if given with a servants heart the return will be multiplied and in ways you can’t imagine. Don’t give thinking in a few days that money will come back to you 10 fold, that’s not how we receive God’s favor, he will bring blessings in many ways and in his time !!

    Loved this. I am a good saver, am careful with spending, so I have money. I have a friend who is an out-of-control spender, is always flat broke, and always trying to 'borrow money'. She never wants to take any advice from me about money, she just wants other people's money, and the gall and cherry on top is she gives unsolicited money advice to to others about how to manage money!
