Do You Know Where Your Money Is Going?

[@akirebara]

I wanted to give Jack a hug. You’re doing great, kid. As long as you budget and don’t buy an expensive car, you’re on your way to a good life. I know its exhausting right now but it gets better. Just keep saving and live below your means.

[@jeffreysmith7274]

Mister Ramsay, I just want to say thank you and share an amazing experience I had tonight. It was thanks to you that I started doing Uber for some extra income because I was tired of being normal. Tonight during an Uber ride, God put a passenger in my car who lost her brother a couple months ago. She just found out recently he left her a $121k inheritance. She was quite distraught and was shooting off all these ideas of what to do with it, including just throwing it away. Although I was a stranger, I raised my hand and offered my advice. Your advice. I told her that this is a great blessing, but don't make any decisions in grief. Don't touch the money until she is able to breathe again because her brother wanted to be a blessing in death, not a curse. It's going to be hard and no amount of money will bring him back. I recommended your show to her to perhaps seek some advice of how she should navigate this difficult time. To Bryan's wife (never got her name as her husband ordered the Uber), if you're reading this. I wish you luck and God bless.

[@MeanOlNana]

I actually had the money to pay for a washer and dryer because of this program. I’m still on baby step 2 but because I’ve paid off so many of the little bills I was able to adjust one month intensity and buy the set without guilt. It was so freeing like y’all said to her. I am excited to eventually be debt free I see it will happen!!

Love Rachel & Dave together. So entertaining. And you can just see the empathy on her face during some of these calls. You can tell her ❤ is so big, even when things don’t make sense you see her reaching for the answers because she really wants to help and support these people.

[@Petruskinhap972]

I’m a nurse and I believe I know what the caller who had the husband with dementia means. If you make too much and don’t qualify for Medicaid as you age, you’re in a pickle. Medicare only covers nursing homes for up to 100 days. After that, you are responsible for paying it. Nursing homes cost about $7-8k per month and if you have assets or income from a 401k for example, they do a “Medicaid spend down”. Let’s say you need to make $1000/month to qualify for Medicaid in your state but you have an income of $5k. Nursing home will bill you for $4k and Medicaid will pick up the rest. This can go on forever until you’re down to the bare minimum amount of assets allowed. If you’re fully on Medicaid, nursing home can even file to take ownership of your home after you die (in some states). When you set up a trust in advance, your children have ownership of your house for example, so it can’t be taken away. The caller’s adviser was spot on! It’s something so serious and most people don’t know about it until it’s too late. It’s heartbreaking! It doesn’t affect rich people like Dave who can just pay cash for nursing homes, but it affects most of us middle class folks. My advice is to look into this ahead of time, as Medicaid normally has a 5 year look back period.

[@NothingBtBlueskies]

Thank you. That’s exactly what I thought. I was surprised at DR reaction, it was not compassionate at all to the caller and her children. Nursing homes are businesses and they will take everything she’s got and leave her and her children with nothing.

My question then is if Medicaid is involved does your loved one go to a Medicaid facility? How does that work? Would it be better to keep your loved one at home and have someone come in for a few hours a day to assist with certain duties?

So I somehow ended up with this video in my KZbin app and Rachel and George's podcast in Spotify, because dave recommended it. I was listening to the episode where Sharon tells the story of how she finally got an engagement ring. I was trying to pause the video, accidentally played this one for dave to say "it's a good value, a good proposition to listen to!" And somehow I thought he was there on the podcast, interjecting the story 😂

[@dorenestewart5084]

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. 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.

I thought having a trust AND a will was the best way to go. A trust avoids probate process and fees, and heirs don’t have to wait so long to get the assets. Plus an estate going through probate makes it public. A trust is not. And a trust allows you to be more detailed about wording.

Peggy's lawyer is right. If all assets are in an irrevocable trust for 5 years or more, Medicaid can't touch any of it. Thats the entire point. Great way for Peggy to be able to have money when her husband is gone. Dave is AMAZING, and has created a genius level system that is applicable to the most amount of people and demographics as possible. But he is wrong on things (like any human being), like certain legal advice and investing strategies. He made his money investing in real estate, not MF's. There are incredible investment opportunities with sticks, like real estate, for the people that put in the time, and do the research required.

[@youngone1985]

Dave. If today’s average % of income used on a mortgage was used in the 1980s mortgages would take 5 years to pay off. Continuously falling rates for 45 years is what pushes home prices up, BUT allow folks to “afford” payments. How much of a crash if any happens within a year?

[@marybowers6090]

Not true, that woman does know what she’s doing. If you are older and need senior care, you have to pay a great deal of money for it, if u do not have the funds the state will take your home to cover the costs. Otherwise you can not get the care for your loved one. If the house and assets are in a trust the state will cover the cost, however there is a 7 year window so if u created the trust 6 years ago and the older person needed care. Since the trust is less than 7 years old they could take the home as payment for the nursing home.
