Dave's advice works!!! The problem is there aren't very many people who want to follow it. Thank you, Dave, for a wonderful life and all the accomplishments that my husband and I have experienced, following your plan.

[@stevemount]

Yep! Block out all the negative Nancy's. We followed his plan and have no debt including mortgage although we were told it wasnt the best advice. We disagree ❤ BS7

[@LucksacGames]

Some of his advice (not all) is way out of touch. Like a 15 yr mortgage at only 30% of your income is impossible for most.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

@@LucksacGames Home ownership in general is equally as impossible for most.

[@LucksacGames]

@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 not really. It's all about the state of the housing market at the time one is looking to buy. People were saying this same stuff in like 2005 before the crash.

Isn't one of the hosts black?

[@Admiral-mi1bf]

Im not sure why some people here are hating. Thanks for the content! I appreciate you guys!

[@eyebrow1]

All calls that don’t get resolved should carry over through commercial break. Would really suck to wait on hold all that time and be cut short for advertisers.

[@45Camster]

They have done that before, usually put the caller on pause for the commercial break and continue once back.

[@TulsaDude]

​@@45Camsterwhen was that, 5 years ago? Not any time recently

I have been wanting to give you guys a call I need to get a grip on myself I’m a stylist and it’s so hard to figure it all out I’m in my 40s and tears come to the eyes when I think about my own wrong doings I should’ve gotten a grip a decade ago.

I haven't seen Jade in awhile

[@isidorolopez265]

Agree with that where is Jade? Where is Jade? Where is Jay??????

[@Trustbutverify2651]

Bobby's call - WHY is Dave blaming the husband again?! He's talking about closing her out of the account, so HE must also be doing the bills. Lock her out of the accounts, yes, and change your paycheck to another account from which you pay the bills that are necessary to sustain you - mortgage, utilities, food. She can have her paycheck and pay her bills. Sometimes both people having access to all the money does not work. His income is $150,000 so he can catch up the mortgage. Oh, and here's what needs to happen right away - CLOSE all the credit cards that are in your name or your joint names and put a credit FREEZE on your social security number so she cannot open any more credit in your name. These steps come before marriage counseling. I don't know why the RS people don't recommend credit freezes in these situations.

[@xdeathknight72x]

8:17 Dave's advice was literally to " get a job making 200k" ... NO SHIT!? If anyone could just go get a job making 200k they wouldn't be calling you!

[@M98747]

The problem is his business was bringing in enough money for him to make that much, and now his business is making him $17 an hour. Either he needs to get his business back on track, or he needs to drop it and get a job making more. You can sneeze and hit a job paying $25 these days.

[@BISOBOKA50B]

Am not going to ever let anybody define my success.

[@myoldvhstapes]

1:02:37- "I lip-synced to that." Fun fact: Saskia, who runs the L.A. Guinea Pig Rescue and youtube channel, is in the "Blame It on the Rain" video.

[@kay22100]

2nd call: How can a man sit around doing nothing?? This is ridiculous!!

[@janise01]

Same way women don't work

[@PrincesMom2024]

​@janise01 Women don't sit around all day playing video games, making no money 😂 that's pretty well an exclusively male "job"

[@janise01]

@@PrincesMom2024 I mean there are female Twitch streamers. We don't know that he sits around all day doing nothing besides streaming. Dave didn't ask any questions. If they have kids and the husband is also taking care of the kids and/or also does most of the domestic duties that changes the dynamic.

[@PrincesMom2024]

@janise01 it absolutely would change things, but it's not like a woman to leave out their children from a conversation

[@caliopeknows844]

Sloth. One of the deadly sins.

Tour Stop Request ❓🙋‍♀️❔ Can you bring your tour near the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN area ? Soo badly want to go and I missed the last stop in 2023 🥹

[@MONI-bj1ms]

Email from the website. That's a good idea.

[@ryanschmoll343]

What a shock. Dave doesn't like the disruption to the 6% commission racket.

[@serenalouise]

Cuz got scammed in BC, Canada. Started with a piercing sound, like a siren, coming from her laptop that would not stop. Someone "came to the rescue" thru the pc, and told her to follow their instructions. Involved getting gift cards from a corner store. The store warned her after several $500 cards but she was too fearful of not following instructions. Stumbling to her bank, almost incoherent, asking to withdraw more cash, staff saw her state of mind, knew it was a fraud & really came to her rescue. The fraudsters were caught and her money returned. What would you do if you heard a siren sound coming from your pc???

[@bettedavis9261]

28:22 I guess Dave didn't approve of the DFS couple taking a small break from their getting out of debt journey. He shut that line of discussion down ASAP and changed the subject.😂😂

[@friendlyone2706]

Question for future episode: My house payment is at 2.5%, 75k left. I now have the funds to pay it off. I can get a CD that pays me almost 6%. Should I pay off the house or buy the CD's?

John Deloney speaks like every white person from the 90s. Yeah that’s gonna be rad.😂 he reminds me of a young white American five-year-old. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. Many white American people nowadays act so urban. It’s actually refreshing to see someone being themselves.

[@Trustbutverify2651]

How many times can he ask, "Are you cool with that?" No one even says that anymore, especially not a middle-aged man with teenage children.

I'm sorry but any grown man playing video games is a red flag. Those were designed to entertain children not grown ass adults. And before some guys get on here "oh well I play video games and I have a job" idc stop it. Madden isn't that interesting, no care about your call of duty kill ratio, stop it.

[@Skill_Issue92]

Same thing with grown men watching other people play sports!

[@mattTHEEgreat]

@@Skill_Issue92 I have less of a problem with sports, it's the fantasy sports or when you make a sports team your entire personality

[@Admiral-mi1bf]

😂 they're designed for adults. Adults have money to spend and games is a business. That's like saying Disney movies are just for kids. Your a fool if you believe that. The only red flag is an adult choosing video games over a job, chores, ect. It's a maturity issue. Adults that go into debt for a nice car is more of a red flag then someone enjoying a game.

If Trump was president and the Overtime tax was cut. The middle class would make the rich so rich they would start their own country.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

There is no middle class in America. Not since world war 1.

[@notgivingmyemail3381]

How exactly would cutting overtime tax make the business owner more money? If your argument is the employees would work more and therefore make more product to sell, I’d think that employers would rather hire additional personnel (maybe even part time without benefits) than pay an extra 50% for wages.
