[@Jessica-Darwin]

I did the same and I can’t begin to tell you how much growth and how much peace I got from shutting off my IG. Am learning how to not let other people’s emotions control mine I seem to be very sensitive to other people’s emotions and I carry others people’s problem all the time. Focus on yourself if your struggling with comparison that is absolutely a thief of joy and we are all special in our own way. Take time for yourself you will thank yourself later. Make sure you also connect with those you love and get out and have real human connection is soo healing. Hope you feel better soon ! ❤️🙏🏻

I quit social media (except youtube) back in May & honestly I don’t even miss it or feel like i’m missing out. In fact, I feel more happier and my mind is at peace more. I’m also able to focus more on what I need to focus on and actually start living life instead of scrolling thru social media for hours and comparing my life to another person’s. Plus we paid off almost $34K in June and before end of this year, we’ll be officially debt free! thanks to Dave and the Ramsey personalities for their teachings!

Grew up in small town Nebraska with a very sheltered life. Met my wife at nearby college. After graduation we picked up and moved to Orlando, Florida. Was so terrified of all the wrong that could happen but trusted God and took the leap. Hasn't always been easy but it's been wonderful.

[@khoado123]

comparison was never so toxic until social media started blowing up. Now we have people posting their "luxurious" lifestyles, how they do this or that but viewers don't know that behind every social media post, there's a broke person type them "inspirational" captions. Just do you, work hard, invest smart, save ferociously, stay healthy, be happy and again, be you. So what if people you know flex a new Benz or Rollie in front of you ? Chances are when they buy those things, that makes you richer than them.

I love this -- The past 30 years have been a downward slide into, "everyone's a winner, everyone is beautiful, nobody loses, and everyone is a super star." No. You do not get to be a Michael Jordan just because you pick up a basketball and shoot hoops with your buds on Saturday. You do not get to be Valedictorian because you have a stack of books on on your desk at home. Make the effort. Practice. Get off the couch (out from behind your gaming system) and know in your heart that you actually do DESERVE to be paid for your time, not 'cause Mom & Dad wanted you to have high self-esteem. Earn it.

[@batirtzeurkiaga4973]

This conversation is right on point. Parents and people in the media make youngsters believe that everything will be ok and under control. I'm a High School teacher, and I see it too often. They'll either be scared ****less or won't listen to anyone else. I know it will pass, but some adults around them are lying to them.

On comparison, difficult to do when your personality is competitive and you have friends/family that are all naturally competitive & perfectionists too lol. But I agree. It's okay to fail and it's okay to try again. It's best to be off social media as well.

[@adrianocosta6760]

Being competitive is a bad thing, not a good one. Search for therapy while you are young otherwise you will always have that "next thing " that when you get it, theeeen it will feel good. Life is NOW, in the present and NOT in the future.

[@TheTruthHurts6666]

@@adrianocosta6760 I'm way past the point being young lol. Thanks though. I've calmed down a lot compared to my younger more competitive self. My friends from school still have that mindset that luxury is better; having things is better and a career making more money is better. I grew up poor like them but I'm totally the opposite in mindset. Right now, am debt free, love minimalism, saving 65% of my income, and want to be financially free in 10 years where I only need to work part time. I'm still competitive at work though with how well I do my job but it does come with a lot more stress.

[@jamescadzow9545]

All of ones problems are self-inflicted yet the person doesn't realize that until pain, & suffering occurs. Pain is inevitable in life we all get to experience it, but suffering is a choice. Just choose not to suffer, and wallowing in self-pity because it's a complete waste of time. Make radical transformations to your life in order to keep repeating the same stupid cycle and never learning from past experiences that put you there in the first place.

[@misspriss2482]

Eh I get what Dave is saying to a certain extent, but handling somebody with kid gloves and raising children that can't handle constructive criticism or losing is one thing. That has definitely led to the snowflake mentality. However, there is a way to go about raising resilient children without physically and verbally abusing them. I'm sure that most of us are still walking around with scars from people who hit, yelled, and insulted us to motivate us. There are ways to encourage children (and people) without being overly harsh and mean about it. Do I think that political correctness has gone too far in some areas? Sure. However, it shouldn't be perceived as political correctness to ask people to be decent to one another or to stop allowing children to be abused like they were without question in the past.

[@Khaltazar]

Speaking of keeping score and everyone is a winner, this happened even when I was a kid 15-20 years ago where every kid got a trophy that said something along the lines of "award for highest score" and it would display your highest score for the season. It means nothing other than giving everyone a trophy for participating. I tried my best when I played, but in the end, my team never really won much to earn a trophy. I feel like tossing it, but I keep hold of it because my parents spent a lot of money on it and it is a reminder of what I did when I was a kid (even if it wasn't earned). With all of that stated, I would have preferred to have just received nothing because it feels like my trophies are empty of any meaning (essentially they didn't have any meaning).

[@BuckMulligan72]

[@shaden1628]

Dave, can you give your thoughts on dollar cost averaging vs lump sum investing. I've watched different videos suggesting one is better than the other and am curious what your advice would be. Thanks ahead of time. Scott

[@AaAa-ri4uf]

shaden1628 always dollar cost average is the answer, and that is putting monthly constantly in retirement on a monthly bases. However when the market falls like it did a few months back you should invest a bit more or in a separate account (if you have the money)

[@reniehandler2595]

Good question. Dave's advice is dollar cost averaging. Same amount every week. Dollar cost averaging over the long term is the way to go, buys more shares when the price is low and less shares when the price is high, something the average investor can't do. However, others agree that investing a lump sum (if you inherited a lump sum vs. accumulating a lump sum) will actually be purchasing shares at a lower price overall, compared to that share price 10+ years from now.
