I hit $113k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started last month 2024. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject.

My advice to everyone is that saving is great but investment is the key to be successful imagine investing $15,000 and received $472,700.

[@Markweb6551]

Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!

[@maskedduelist1380]

Regardless of who is right and wrong about paying off the house or investing first, the most important thing is being on the same page and finding a common goal. Maybe even meeting in the middle. A little extra on the house each month, and a little exyra in the investment. That way neither of you ends up being bitter.

[@PrincessLolly1]

If the 12% is somehow guaranteed, vs a 2.5% loan, this is an easy math problem. Dave just likes to stand by his Baby Steps, even when the math doesn’t support his philosophy of wealth building.

[@andrewsanders2744]

@@PrincessLolly1he’s more on the emotional side of money. Yes there’s some facts to it. But he implements god into it and emotions. Which does make sense. The emotional satisfaction of paying off your mortgage is probably extraordinary, also probably relieving that you personally own your home. Also that “12%“ isn’t gaurenteed but paying down your mortgage and getting rid of that 2.5% is.

[@contact2001]

@@PrincessLolly1If the 12% is guaranteed it take out the biggest loan I could get my hands on for 2.5%, problem is though, that those high rates are never guaranteed……

Question for the savvy investors here: Should I try to pay off my mortgage at 3.5% or invest in my 401k. I'm 5 years away from FRA. Please advise. I've got my ER fund already. Will be debt free but the mortgage next year.

[@angelinealfred1096]

Step 1: Save $1,000 for your starter emergency fund. Step 2: Pay off all debt (except the house) using the debt snowball. Step 3: Save 3-6 months of expenses in a fully funded emergency fund. Step 4: Invest 15% of your household income in retirement. Step 5: Save for your children’s college fund. Step 6: Pay off your home early. Step 7: Build wealth and give. You are currently at baby step 2. Payoff your mortgage is not until step 6. To answer your question, yes you should invest in your 401K before paying off your mortgage.

That whole rant when that poor girl said something positive about Biden made it more clear than ever how deep Dave is in the Trump cult. The girl was mistaken, for sure. But Dave's reaction was ridiculous.

[@TulsaDude]

Yeah he got triggered big time with that word Biden lol. There are several programs that have been improved in the last 4 years, regardless of whether they 'began' before his presidency. His department actually improved some things. I don't like Biden, but I can still give his admin some credit for improving these programs.

[@TulsaDude]

Some of these programs required some ridiculous documentation to get approved and technicalities were keeping people from forgiveness. This has been improved the last couple of years, chill Dave

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

That's an ironic comment. The whole USA is a cult, sir.

[@WorldofKhalifa]

I mean this in the most respectful/constructive way possible - Jade needs to stop interrupting Dave or making small noises when he’s talking. It’s extremely distracting. I love how Rachel, George, and Ken are when they co-host with Dave.

[@brookelondon8029]

I agree, she has lightened up a bit but it is so distracting. So many of the questions are serious and I imagine that the caller is listening intently and keeps hearing the interuptions. Fortunately, they can go back and watch the podcast so they can absorb all the details but it would drive me crazy if I finally got through to him and she kept interrupting.

[@brookelondon8029]

I wrote a reply but it didn't post. So I'll try again. I find her constant interruptions to be a terrible distraction. If I were a caller listening intently to a Dave has to say and would constantly hear her little comments here and there I would be confused. Fortunately the Call can listen to a podcast over and over again so that they don't miss all the great information that Dave gave them.

Would Ramsey gives advise on whether we should join a gym or do workouts at home? Gym membership is not cheap and we need regular exercise.

Of course he would. It depends on what baby step you are on :)

[@brookelondon8029]

Dave talks about the fact that by February, most people have given up on going to the gym they signed up for. I bought a treadmill, an exercise bike and a stepper that were all preowned because people were sick and tired of having them in their houses because it made them feel guilty. I didn't have to worry about going out in bad weather or fitting it into my schedule because I could do it at any time depending on my work. There are great exercise videos you can watch so you don't need a personal trainer. Just my two cents, lol.

[@TulsaDude]

Depends on your overall budget.

[@jeffhelton9510]

Budget? I’m in good shape for retirement for one reason only. And that’s because I’ve made a good amount money more than I’ve spent for over 20 years. But I’ve spent well and enjoyed life. Gotta have income.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

And budgeting is one way of getting in control of the amount you are spending. Most people who do not budget are spending a lot more than they realise. It is a combination of both budgeting AND having income that results in success. Only doing one (or worse, none) is a recipe for failure.

[@jeffhelton9510]

@ not an interest for me. I’m interested in investing at this point. And my snowball is sufficient to throw off a lot of income.

[@sethmccall639]

I have a ton of respect for anyone who pays off their house early. It's an amazing accomplishment. However, it's infuriating to hear Dave claim that someone is "WRONG" when they choose to invest extra instead of paying off a 2.5% mortgage. There are multiple ways to become wealthy. The only time it is "wrong" is if your name is Dave Ramsey. For everyone else, it is actually RIGHT. Delaying investing is one of the worst mistakes you can make. When it comes to compound interest, you CANNOT make up for lost time - especially if you are in your 20s and 30s. Once you are in your 40s & 50s, the difference becomes less drastic. I get that Dave is a man of principle and, if being debt free is your financial goal, then pay off your mortgage ASAP! But NEVER think that you are making a bad choice by choosing financial responsibility to invest extra money instead of paying off a dirt-cheap mortgage, ESPECIALLY if you are young or early in your wealth-building journey.

[@bettedavis9261]

38:16 Dave is under the impression that Coach bags are expensive. Well, compared to Wal-Mart or Target bags, they are. But compared to high end designer bags, they are on the low end if the totem pole cost wise. In fact, many would argue that Coach bags aren't designer bags. Dave needs to say Chanel, Prada, Hermes, Bottega Veneta instead of Coach.😉

[@brookelondon8029]

I've bought most of my designer bags at outlets and thrift stores. Coach is my favorite and I've never seen any of the others at those places. And I agree, he should say Louis Vuitton.

[@TulsaDude]

He just says it as an example because people relate to it. It doesn't matter if it's technically the most expensive. Just like people rip on McDonald's for fast food when there are 100s of fast food places.

[@logdon17]

Serious question about this study of 10,000 millionaires. I would guess the majority of them had bought homes in the 80s or 90s when interest rates were much higher and it made the most sense to pay off the mortgage. And then just by sitting on their home for decades they by default became millionaires. But it's really hard to make the same argument if someone has a 2.5% interest rate and markets right now are easily paying 10%.

[@TheNathanlockhart]

Who is going to answer "I became a millionaire by choosing to pay less on a low interest loan and investing that money" anyway? Nobody. That's just one decision of many in choosing to invest. They'll just say, "I invested". It's preposterous that Dave indicates nobody saying it's the primary reason means that nobody did it. Nobody answered "avoiding Starbucks" or "not buying new cars" either, but that doesn't mean they don't help.

[@kilroywashere9678]

If you’re looking at your home as only an investment vehicle then sure. It’s mainly about freedom and reducing exposure to risk.

[@marypladsen5231]

Were Trump University's student loans forgiven?

[@TheNathanlockhart]

Of course nobody is going to answer that "leveraging their home" is what made them a millionaire. People are going to attribute it to their careers and their investments. Even if they did it by investing money that could have paid off their home, they are just going to say it was investing, plain and simple. Even for people who operate by the math, the choice to invest over paying off a mortgage is just one of many investment choices and nobody is ever going to solely say that is the reason. Just like it's not a good idea to buy new cars, but nobody's going to say that's what makes a millionaire, even if it's good practice and a good decision on the road to it. It's just ridiculous to think anyone would have answered that as the primary reason. Listen to your CPA husband girl.
