Eight years ago I was 80K in debt and no assets. Today, all debt paid. Full emergency fund. Large built up of cash and a house with extra payments plus better health and a better job. I would not be here if I did not follow the program. What pushed me was meeting David in person at book signing back then. Dave's' team teaches and motivates despite to pull forward. As a big spender, this program works and cost really nothing. I never thought I would ever be out of debt. Thank you Dave Ramsey.

There might be an economical turmoil but there is no doubt that this is still the best time to invest.

[@dorissteve912]

Best time to invest? thats funny though because in the last four months I have lost more than $47,900 in stock market which is the biggest I have loss since I ventured into stock investment.

[@jamesmaduabuchi6100]

you could be right or wrong . i once had similar problem but now its a different ball game for me because I was lucky to have met KATRINA VANRENSUM , a financial manager and stock expert, I have made more than $165,000 in 6 weeks under her supervisions

social media is a disease.

[@erikrohr4396]

The hardest part is coming up with the down payments. My wife and I have a little Airbnb house that we maintain and it's a lot of work but very enjoyable.

[@Pandorash8]

@@erikrohr4396 good point. I think if people are smart about how they go about the AirBnB business, it can be lucrative and enjoyable. But it’s better suited to those who have a heart for it. Kind of like running an actual BnB. Going into massive debt, or thinking it’s going to be totally passive, or choosing an AirBnB that primarily caters to high turnover student accommodation or such, run away lol.

[@juditharsenault2131]

@@Pandorash8 I had a couple ask me to clean their AirB&B. I had had bed bugs 5 years ago and looked up AirB&B's and bed bugs. It says it's not if you get them but when you get them. Most AirB&B's end up with bed bugs. I said no because I didn't want to bring them home.

[@ts-luv]

I’ve been against school loan forgiveness but couldn’t adequately express why without sounding harsh. This episode put words to what I’m feeling. I love love love your show! Im on baby steps 4,5,6. I got a late start at age 53 but there’s still hope.

I can’t stop laughing about Dave calling TikTok “tic tac” 😂

[@Nkdbattlerap]

I helped a man run his airbnb. I never will again. I was on call 24/7 and there is no break, ppl don’t just come & go quietly. The cleaning is excessiveeeee. The guy ended up turning the house into a place college students stay during school so he didn’t have to deal with the hassle.

[@mmp495]

I would rather rent one than work one, that doesn't sound fun at all. I'll stick to my year to year lease rental properties.

[@juditharsenault2131]

Dave's right about Air B&B's. They're hard to run due to the constant cleaning. Our town is starting to consider requiring a permit and pay fees (taxes) on it. Plus you will wind up with bed bugs. Air B&Bs website says it's not if you get bed bugs but when you get them. !!!!!! I had bed bugs in my house 4 years ago. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy!!!

[@andeebee2530]

“Tic Tac” 😁

[@GwenMotoGirl]

Kelly and David. What a lovely couple! Congrats to them.

[@joebeta1837]

Most these callers don't have real problems. Wait, you and you're wife, for example, earn $250K, your house is paid off, you've got no debt...and your question is should you sell your Florida beach house??? Or, you have no debt, you've paid off your house, you've got 1 million in 401K savings....and you're asking Dave how you would save college money for your 3 year old grandchild??? Those are not real world questions to ask Dave!

[@Windarti30]

"I can't believe how much our lives have changed since meeting Rodger Michael Karl. He's helped us become debt-free and save for retirement." I made over 220K during this dip, which made it clear there's more to the market than we average joes know. Having an investment adviser is currently the best course of action, especially for those who are close to retirement ...

[@WiolciaMrozowska531]

The financial markets are full with opportunities, but I've learned a lot over the past few years to doubt that. The key is knowing where to focus. Well appreciated, Rodger Michael Karl.

[@AnnaFed015]

Thank you so much for the advice. Your coach was simple to discover online. I did my research on him before I scheduled our phone call. He appears knowledgeable based on his online resume.

[@stanleyzac1648]

I just discovered his outstanding resume when I searched for his name on Google. I count it a blessing that I came across this comment section.

[@CharlesBWillz]

if you ask me what is special about Rodger Michael Karl compared to the other traders I have worked with in the past, Rodger Michael Karl has numerous great features, simple, easy, and reliable signals and analysis.

[@tomaszcz_k]

"I agree. He's changed my life completely. I used to be living paycheck to paycheck, but now I have savings and even some extra money for luxuries."

[@BallumBalum]

Good god! $863,288 in 36 months???? Way to freaking go!

[@KathyKerr5352]

I do wonder if the caller who received $9,000 for the totaled car might have been able to negotiate more. For each of our totaled cars, my husband negotiated over 50% over the initial offer from the insurance company.. He would pull comps (significantly higher than the comps from insurance company), identify the extras (new tires, entertainment center) that weren't on the comps and would keep saying that we weren't going to sell the car - we need enough to replace the ones that were totaled in the CURRENT market. Some comps were 9 months old and from cars that weren't even on the market

[@rothbj1]

The initial offer is just that, and offer. You have to do you homework.

[@marysaltlife1427]

Dave is awesome and Jade is right in there! You GO, Jade! Love your views and advice! May GOD continue to bless you both.

[@wittleMermaid13]

Good job, Jade! On first caller, she pointed out that brokerage account could cover the gap if he retires early.

Investing in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.

That's one of the few times that Dave was speechless, lol. I just heard the show today and my mouth dropped open and I didn't hear anything on the radio but dead silence.

[@ryancaldwell9463]

That mortgage in a trust call sounds crazy. I agree with Dave, don’t pay them another $100k. Is whatever he wants to finance worth an extra $100k so you don’t have to explain it? If there’s no problems currently, and they’re paying the payments, I’d almost let it run.

Jade I hear a lot about generational wealth and privilege being a big part of the poverty divide between whites and non whites. I absolutely have received lots of advantages and privileges in my own life and want to be sensitive to the experiences of others but refuse to assume that people don’t have choices. I would love to hear your take on this issue as a person of color. What do you suggest are the talking points on this subject IF the appropriate moment arises and what to speak 🗣️ not my children.

[@chuckgamble5696]

He shoukd not open a brokerage account with so ન e Smartvestor broker. He shoukd open it with Vanguard or Fidelity and put it in an index fund linked to S%P 500 and Russell 2000.

[@juditharsenault2131]

I need a new catalytic converter on my Toyota Matrix. I don't have enough cash in my emergency fund to get it done so I thought I'd get a credit card. I checked out the 0% interest bank credit card. (I have no debt except a manageable mortgage). The catch is it's only 0% interest if you pay it off at the end of the month. How is that a deal? I thought of Proverbs that the borrower is servant to the lender. I also thought of Dave Ramsey. My car is drivable and I am retired. I had no peace about the credit card. I decided to save the money instead. I have peace about that. I am only driving my car to town a few times a week which is 10 miles round trip. Glad I didn't get that credit card!

[@mguel9989]

Pay cash for the rental property? The majority of people wouldn't be able to ever do that. Also many get into rental properties and do well with little money down; Provides cash flow every month and if things do go south you could always sell it. I really don't see the downside outside of obvious management of the units. - Devils advocate

[@thenightshowCanada]

1:22:15 It's not thievery if you get back more than what you paid into it. You've got to be careful how you phrase some of your statements, Jade. Worst worst-case scenario with a whole life policy is that it becomes a forced savings

[@Ksje90]

Why do some people get less than they put in?

[@aidamartinez2445]

450 a month in a year equals 4,500 in 1 year If you put that in a safe high yield CD FOR 3 years you will have 5700 when it matures Or if you put 500 in a retirement IRA monthly for 30 years 400 k or more

I only listen on my iPhone when I'm driving. I Google Dave Ramsey Archives KZbin and the only commercials I hear are for CHM Ministries and a little commercial for the email question of the day. It's one days worth with three shows in a row. I have heard people complain about hearing commercials that are against Dave's principles, but I've never even heard one. It's just CHM ministries.

In Computer science, you need the degree or employers won't look at your resume. None of them certificates will work

[@restingsmirkface]

Yeah, I'd hope a 4yr degree is required for any *real* CS job... otherwise those of use with CS degrees are carrying everyone else along. CS is one of those things you can't learn (well) in 3-6 months -- especially if you're working a day-job at the same time. If the job is a "low code" or "no code" job, maybe a cert could work. I do a lot of technical interviews, and you can tell who is BSing and who knows their stuff in the first 5 minutes or less.
