One of things I've never heard Dave discuss are the massive devaluation of the US Dollar or how salaries/wages have not kept up with inflation for several decades. Those factors play a large role in people spending themselves into a black hole.

[@bricehatcher8391]

Not really, that's just a convenient thing to blame. People spending themselves into a black hole have a spending problem. Or they've made poor life decisions that end up forcing them into an income problem. There are exceptions of course, but devaluation of the dollar is not the main issue. I've been a teller at a bank and seen peoples bank statements and it's always the same story.

[@devonpeters5655]

Great video, but when Dave said that combining or not combing multiple credit card payments on to one loan won’t make any difference on the numbers is probably not true (unless they’re all literally the same interest rate). Often the benefit of combining on to one loan is a lower rate. I’ve actually never had any debt myself, but I was just amazed at how adamantly he said that haha.

[@hollym1751]

Devon Peters the probably with that is people get the loans but don’t cut the cards, so they end up with a loan and more credit card debt.

ring is: 1 month take home or 1 month pre-tax? And why do we buy dimonds? What's the difference between dimonds and a kitchen knife? Can't we make them? What about another kind of ring or stone?

[@yaimavol]

Compare what Dave has done to actually lift millions of people out of poverty and Bernie Sanders who has been talking about it for 80 years.

[@eatpigsnot]

if the world worked like Bernie wants there would be very little poverty and debt to begin with. Dave treats symptoms of a disease that should not even exist. both Bernie and Dave have great ideas and points, but the best financial move for America, and the world actually, is to get off money altogether and forever

[@yaimavol]

@@eatpigsnot Like that hasn't already been tried? It's the Cuban model. You help the poor by making everybody poor. The landscape is littered with the wreckage of left-wing anti-poverty projects for the past 100 years. Dave lives in the real world. Bernie sells fantasy and fiction.

[@anni3274]

@@yaimavol I love Dave Ramsey. But something needs to change about the system so that people can't even go into student debt or medical debt. It's not "the Cuban model", it's more like "the European model". It is what every country in Europe does and it works there. Sure people still get into consumer debt but that's stupidity and not a system failure.

[@foxtrotthree569]

The other option is joining the military and going to college on the GI bill. If you are really that strapped for money and want to go to college it's an option. I got my BS and MS using the GI bill and other programs offered by Veterans affairs. I got my degrees without accumulating any debt. The biggest thing is choosing a degree field that will pay off as a career. As Dave always says don't go to school for left handed puppetry because it won't help you financially.

[@johnwrclinton]

Consolidation loans aren't the same as coping with multiple credit cards: first, the new loan is often at a substantially lower interest vs. credit cards (maybe not - but you should CHECK). And secondly, credit card "minimum payments" drop as your balance drops, while a consolidation loan is fixed over the life of the loan - sure, you can make equal payments on your own, but it takes some self-discipline (something the debtor has proven NOT to have in abundance, as evidenced by HAVING the debt in the first place). Finally, "a little bit of interest" has almost NEVER been true for credit card balances: I have a credit score well over 800, and pay off any balances in full each month - and my cards STILL show that I'd owe 20-25% interest if I were to carry a balance. To use his example of paying off $8,000 with pets of $1,000 / month...on credit cards @ 25%, you'd owe a 9th pmt of $844 vs. a pmt of $282 with a debt consolidation loan @ 9% - over $500 difference. Hey, Dave might think that's nothing, but I still notice $500!

"The most you should pay ... is a fourth of your take-home pay on a fifteen-year loan". That is good advice in most of the country, but in the Bay Area (and other high-income, high-housing-cost coastal regions) this will get you nowhere. You simply have to accept that people make more money out here, but all the extra money will go to housing costs.

What i like to know is how many people who are millionaires come from family that are millionaires( should say are not impoverished) . if the point is they got there solo coming from a family with little is how you exempt additional aid . If you parents pay your college that’s 50+ k over 20 years ie at the age of 40 that’s a 200,000 dollar head start .I don’t think being a millionaire by 50 before you take any actual inheritances is how people advance to that status. Support throughout their life compounds to later success. If you tell me every millionaire in the study did not get a dime of support other than food water and shelter then it’s easier to suggest they “ did it on their own”. I think we would have a lot less millionaires if they were not supported well early in life. Which is not to say Poor cannot become rich nor rich become poor. The question is does money help growth or does it not and if so what factor correlation is it ? Dave argues that people say you can’t become wealthily without coming from wealth. I would say it not that you can’t it’s that it helps.the true dispute is by how much and what are the ways beyond it which you have control over. What can you control to over come the factors that are connected with poverty. Something he answers with a different lens.

Kevin Rushing This is true but how many come from households that hold the risk factors of poverty?

[@kevinrushing5667]

@@fundip43 Good point. I don't think Dave or many people argue that a person's financial future isn't influenced greatly by their parents income/financial situation. Most of the kids I went to grad school with are trust fund babies and will be millionaires the day they turn 30 or 35. Myself on the other hand, grew up in a household that lived month to month and i was essentially financially independent when I was 16. I was also not taught anything about personal finance until my senior year of undergrad. I'm well on my way to "financial peace" as dave would put it. I think his point is that, while rich parents could be very helpful, they are absolutely not necessary to become rich. I would argue the most important thing for setting a child up for success would be teaching them personal finance from a young age. Unfortunately, the people with the best personal finance are usually not people in poverty.

[@droptozro]

Basic economics, supply and demand. College isn't the problem ultimately. Understanding is the problem. If you keep supplying colleges with government loans and tons of demand is on them---the supply cost will go up. It will lower in cost when the demand goes down--i.e. stop going to college, stop the student loan program. This is economics 101.

After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

As the character played by Brat Pitt " tyler durden" in Fight Club once said " Without pain..without sacrifice ..we would have nothing" Only those who have ever had to WORK for something,...truly appreciate its value.

You're only factoring in a minimum down payment. If that person making 60k saves up a solid down payment for a few years, that will reduce the cost they pay per month on the mortgage to bring them below that 25% of take home pay
