@@mikezerker6925 there are three main reasons why first social media has put everyone in view it restricts our ability to form genuine friendships and it allows for a much more devastating form of bullying. Second is the no tolerance policy/schools not wanting to interfere with bullying situations being unable to report bullying or even react without the risk of being expelled leads people to believe there is no way out of their problems which in turn leads to depression, anxiety, and even suicide I'm some cases because we are essentially trapping them in the problems preventing them from solving them. The last reason is we understand the importance of diagnosis and it's being diagnosed at a much higher rate in the past you were told to just suck it up and get back to work now you either get stuck with no way out or you get treatment and nowadays we don't give people time to get better on their own instead we slap a title on them and say this is you now

Colleges are beyond expensive and frankly, unless you are going to school for certain degrees, like a medical doctor or engineer or work in science, one has to think if it's worth it or not. Whatever classes you take, will they pay you back in the end with endless high paying job opportunities? I always say, if a young person is really smart, they would go to a trade school and learn a MUST HAVE skill. As for weddings, I cannot think of a bigger waste of money. It's a party. That money need to be spent on the couple's future from the day after the wedding. If you cannot get out of student loans, what do you do?

Pay off the debt first Get married after

5:53 Tell that to the wife! 🤣

[@strongblackliquor]

0:44 yall saw Jade flinch when he said his major? 😂

[@Paul-jp8zz]

millionaires in 7-8 years. Dave has completely lost touch with reality.

[@benjaminhough8804]

Nope, the average person who follows the plan will be millionaires in about 17 years. However, these people have a better income than average, so if they’re smart they can do it.

[@lifewithlana7275]

Do the math. They still could be millionaires if they do it correctly.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

So have you if you think ANYBODY is in touch with reality in 2023.

[@arohr25]

Started watching your videos yesterday and gotta say you are great and reminds me of jeff dunhams walter with the way you speak and react to things its hilarious and fantastic. Your the financial walter and I love it

2:03 I’m predicting Jade will be gone in less than a year. I’ve seen this interaction with Dave and another female Ramsey personality before and she was gone shortly after. Dave doesn’t like not being looked at as the smartest person at the table and Jade cares little to defer to Dave. Take a look at her “debt free scream” with her husband and see who is taking the lead in that interaction. Very interesting.

[@thelion6614]

Probably. Not all Ramsey personality combinations have the same synergy. Ken and John D. are my favorite, as is the Dave and John D combo. Dave defers to John's extensive knowledge of psychology and human relationships. George is excellent as well and he could easily be the successor to Dave in my humble op. Jade will probably do better with her own podcast show.

Sad to see this is a huge majority following this route.

Been going on for years, but with tuition what it is today, you can really get yourself in a bad situation quickly. You have to be smart when it comes to education. Some people don't even need a degree, and make very good livings.

[@rebeccaoprea9917]

They fell for the American dream, in debt........

[@lingra1438]

😄😄😄😄right

[@AFrugalMindsetWithBrandonLee]

Dave never lets Black chick talk 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheEdward1953]

When ask a Dave question he goes uhh uhh

[@EmilyLucille523]

Anybody have a link to the clip that they were talking about?

[@tristanrodenhauser5267]

Austin is blowing up, what’s their rent? There so much they can downsize once they get rid of the cars.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

People are so dead set on where they want to live. You can still work in a high income city, but reside somewhere more reasonable. I see so many young people wasting money on rent in a trendy area.

[@Aminah6623]

$77,000 in cars? Dude needs to give Jesus the wheel.

[@New-bw4kz]

Don’t get married until you get rid of this debt!

[@samanthabeee6138]

Caleb is calling from Austin Texas Me:Caleb Hammer😮

[@little_miss_vintage]

I thought the same thing tbh😂

[@pHixiq]

Dang I got my bachelors in the same thing and it only put me at 22k debt and so far I'm down to 7.2k 😬😬.

[@joeriveracomedy]

Now he wants a wife he can't afford and she is hoping to ride this train to suckersville

[@atown27]

He not getting rid of those cars.

[@SMetz-cw6qj]

I’m afraid you might be right.

[@JOZoSo.]

3:56 this is where the caller hung up

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Prove it.

[@kleindropper]

I love how nobody gives a second thought about the cost of the tuition for the school they chose or the car they buy. They'll cut out 25 cent coupons for the grocery store, then go pay $80K for a year of college and $65K for a new car. wut?

[@HillBillyBarry2000]

Don't live life based on other people's opinions of you are scared of what other's think. Live it for yourselves.

[@mikedoyle5901]

Marriage? You have to be kidding. Dave won't say it but no marriage til debt is manageable. Women with that debt and a 42K salary. come on.

[@Cahluvca]
