I’ve saved over 154k cash, which I’ve placed into high yield savings accounts / s&p500. His advice changed my life. Used to live paycheck to paycheck, now I’ve got FU money. If I don’t like a job I’m at, I could quit and live off savings well over 5 years 😂 Just put out a video about it for those who’re interested.

It’s not like rogans podcast where he shares too many of his opinions, Theo only cares about the opinions of the guest and doesn’t really care to debate them.

When he says that lie people tell, and steal people's hope, that's exactly how I went about my life thinking about being successful, rich, having a house, because of the delusion of how we see millionaires, and it blew my mind just now. Im 37, just now got my life back and in Gods hands. But I still see my success in the future of having the home and a savings seems very low because of being told no one can make it at certsin ages. Or without a degree. So, I keep going and it's all I can do. But not sure if at 37 with no degree, it's ever possible to get there.

[@brx017]

​​@@wastedanalogues8991Nah, you got this! Just start now, it gets harder as time goes by. You've got 25 years to 62 years old early retirement. Just figure out how you can adjust your income and/or spending to get your annual personal savings rate up to 25% of your income. Invest it in something like a total stock market index fund or the S&P500, then come age 62 you'll have enough invested to live off just the interest. When your money makes more money than you do, that is true financial independence. Follow the 4% rule from that point on and you'll have more cash flow in retirement than you have your working years. 25% invested 25 years at 10% return (S&P500 average) will replace 82% of your income with a 4% withdrawal rate. Remember you're used to budgeting for 75%, so that's a 7% raise your first year of retirement. You should be able to give yourself around a 3% raise to keep up with inflation without drawing down your principal either. Pretty cool.

Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace University" was the BEST unintentional marriage counseling. My husband and I grew up with completely different views on money. Caused much strife early in our marriage. Friends invited us to attend FPU at their house. We commited to "debt snowball" and paid off $47k in 15 mo. We both worked and continued on baby steps. Then covid hit and our employer issued mandate. Because we had emergency money we were able to figuratively say "F off, you're not making me take that Vax." That was in 2022. Super stressful but we used what we leaned from Dave Ramsey to move on and create a new life in a new area with new careers (in our 40s!). Forever grateful to ya, Dave!

@hunterconway4992 Found the broke guy.

[@rebeccashields9626]

⁠​⁠​⁠@hunterconway4992ok you could argue the baby step 1 should be $2k instead of $1k, it’s ok to get a 30 year mortgage instead of a 15, and taking out the smallest student loan available for a degree with a large ROI probably is ok. Otherwise it’s all still very good advice, very applicable to the modern age. You’d be better off following it than not. What part is a joke? If you listen to Dave Ramsey you will live a good life and be able to retire comfortably. You don’t have to do every little thing exactly but even if you did you’d be in a good place.

Dave is the reason I got out of debt in 2008. Changed my life, tbh.

Same. Got out of debt in 2018 and we're almost baby step millionaires... all because of this plan🙌

idk about "great" but it's def been a variety lol

Daves a classic economist and is the way you can be financially free but not abundant. I read his books when I was like 8 (Dad made me) but like Dave I became a millionaire once and I'm omw to do it again cause... Divorce sucks.

I get the hate for Dave Ramsey but not very many wealthy people have a clear plan to get your life back on track. I used to blow through money, I used to have consumer debt out the ass exceeding 70% of my yearly salary, and now I’m less than 15% total debt paying 800 a month extra to pay off my car as fast as possible. His plan works, and above all it gives you hope.

[@ghhm2705]

Awesome! Nice job.

[@Not-thatKaren]

Congratulations on getting rid of most of your debt!! The thing about Ramsey is you do NOT have to buy the books to learn his system. If you actually listen to his theories you can succeed!

[@ryanw6626]

What hate do you get?

[@Fortress500]

@@ryanw6626 His advice is extreme. To someone who doesn't watch him, or only has seen negatively biased clips of him - he seems like a crotchety old man with an out of touch view on all things related to debt and personal finance.

This podcast was needed. I listen to the Ramsey show EVERY SINGLE MORNING without a miss. I listen to Theo on lunch or on my drive home. This duo was God sent. I love both of these guys work. Praise God.

Starting at 14:30, that's real inspirational. I've been struggled to get a few different businesses up and running, and sometimes feel like I lack knowledge and am unsure where to find it. It's found in the struggle, actually doing the things I talk about and reflecting on what I learned. Thanks Theo!

i’m a full time pressure washer and i feel attacked the first 10 minutes in 🤣🤣 Proline Pressure washing out of SC

[@MentalBlockM]

I thought about what a simple minded comment that was when he said it. He’s good at telling people how to get out of debt but it seems like he misses the point of life a lot of the time. Pressure cleaning and other jobs like it are perfectly respectable, even lucrative lifetime careers.

[@emilyjoerger8964]

He’s literally just telling you how rich people make more money. He’s not saying if you’re comfortable with your job and position in life that you’re a loser. Just that you probably won’t make as much money.

[@l-train7876]

Why do you feel attacked?

[@coreytohme9861]

@@MentalBlockM He's not saying that it's not a respectable job - it just shouldn't be a lifetime career. Make and save enough money to buy a second pressure washer - now you're not jut a pressure washer, you're an employer making more money and employing someone that needs a job. More importantly, they are merely examples that anyone can understand and shouldn't be taken literally. "Pressure washer" could have been exchanged for anything else that has a relatively low company start up cost, can make you money, and expand into something more lucrative if you spend/invest your money wisely.
