Dave Ramsey's Advice For Choosing a Bank

[@barttfisher]

It's quite simple why rates are climbing with rising imports and falling exports, the FED is obviously to be blamed for banking crisis. Something will eventually break if they keep the quantitative tightening and higher interest rates. Is this really a good time to have some savings in stocks?

[@JosephineKenney]

first austerity, then brexit, now widespread bank failures. .always do your own research & speak to a license advisor before thinking about putting your money into these crazy markets

[@FinnBraylon]

Exactly, most youtubers said the market would be fine few months back, but it's been a major downturn. Luckily, since the rona-outbreak in 2020, I've avoided the drawback of trial and error by simply following professional guidance. I'm semi-retd and work only 7.5 hours weekly, with nearly $1m ROI after subsequent investments to date.

[@HildaBennet]

this is incredible! how can I vet your advisor, mind sharing info, if you please?

[@FinnBraylon]

Sonya lee Mitchell is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..

[@HildaBennet]

She appears to be well-She seems to be well educated and well-read. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

[@carolbenson6524]

I agree. I like being able to talk to a real person inside the bank if there's a problem or if I want to visit about financial needs or have questions.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

Through a lot of experience I've learned it's better to go with small local businesses whenever possible. This is especially true when it comes to insurance and banking. After feeling like a number all my life with the big banks, I've never felt so appreciated as I do with my local credit union.

I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

[@MartaRinker]

Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

[@lennoxmutterick6434]

@@MartaRinker However, if you do not have access to a professional like Clementina Abate Russo, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach.

Dave Ramsey's advice on choosing a bank is spot on! It's crucial to prioritize financial stability, low fees, and excellent customer service when selecting a bank. I appreciate his emphasis on steering clear of debt and opting for institutions that align with your financial goals.

I honestly have a lot of respect for Dave and his financial success, but the more I watch his videos, the more I find out that he has something negative to say about every company and every product except the ones that worked for himself. Dave, one size doesn't fit all and you are an intelligent man and by now you should know that. Every person's needs are unique and as a customer, one's responsibility is to know exactly what he/she needs and wants, and as a service provider your responsibility is to listen to a customers' needs and wants and tailor a solution that best fits those needs and wants, but your advice for everyone is that it didn't work for you and him or she, so it won't work for you. Let's put a little more thought and effort to understand people's unique situations.

Don’t be mad at a Bank just because you didn’t pay their bill. You learnt a big lesson, just like you are teaching so many people on finances and they may don’t like the way you do it, but it’s efficient. Great job 👍

[@nabisandhu8575]

He didn't get mad at the bank because they told him he didn't pay the bill. He got mad because they essentially told his wife to divorce him. That's a very personal matter and not something a bank should interfere with. That is incredibly unprofessional and it caused them great emotional distress. His relation with his wife is their own buisness and nobody other than them know the circumstances that could have lead to the missed bills.

[@mbyrd6713]

@@nabisandhu8575 It was terrible but that was a reflection of that person that called his house not the entire company.

From my personal experience, I have been way more satisfied with U.S. Bank than I was when I had an account through a local bank. I mainly switched to U.S. Bank because I wanted to have access to my bank in multiple cities because I basically live in 2 different places. I’m so glad I switched because my local bank charged me SO many more fees than U.S. Bank does! That’s just my experience though.

I'm not a big fan of Chase although I do have a checking account there. I guess it was just something I did 12 years ago. Although in my neighborhood there are a number of smaller Banks.

I am looking into investing money in Russian treasuries because they are currently at 6% and the US are at 3% so this means I will want a Russian Bank account to park what I am earning in China so that I can buy Russian Securities. I might also invest in Russian real estate as I am not allowed to buy an investment property in China or South East Asia.
