Confronting Dave Ramsey About Bitcoin, Dividends, & Real Estate

[@alexsteven.m6414]

like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

[@Tanner-c2m]

Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional

[@belobelonce35]

True. I first came across investing in the market in 2019. Already stashed about $480k in savings then, and the free money from the Government was pouring in, increasing inflation rate. I just got an advisor and kept the money there, just because I didn't want to keep the value of the money depreciating in the bank. Tbh, it's the best investment decision I've made since then.

Could you provide guidance on how to reach out to this particular coach through their service? It seems like you might have the answer that others don’t.

Love Dave! Thru his courses we gained the financial education we never had in our mid late 20s. 20 years later we still use almost all the tools and are way better off financially because of it. It works if you work it, before you alter it master the basics as taught for 5-7 years. It’s habitual for us now.

[@Curbalnk]

True. I’ve been investing in the stock market for 11 years now, last 5 years with the help of a financial advisor. Through this period of advisory support alone, I've been fortunate enough to achieve a 10x return compared to my previous efforts as a DIY investor, summing up nearly 85% ROI as of today. My best so far...

[@ngmi2wagmi]

Fantastic interview with one of the most influential money experts of our time. However…his opinions on Bitcoin are coming from a foundation of ignorance. For instance, Dave completely ignored your point about the halving. He doesn’t understand the concept of stock to flow. The 21 million ceiling doesn’t matter to him, even as a contrast to the unlimited fiat supply. He ignored BTC’s basic fundamentals. He criticizes it without understanding a single Satoshi. He also ignored its 14 year track record, and then completely botched up the definitions of investing and speculation. Because ALL investing is speculation, by default. Whether you were investing in your small business, a mutual fund, or a piece of real estate to buy and hold onto long-term. It all involves risk, and historical price action does not guarantee future results. It is all speculative. He’s making up his own definitions to fit his own narrative. He is the epitome of someone criticizing something they know nothing about, even when you try to teach them. It’s called willful ignorance.

[@NiceOneZebra]

Yeah, he really is ignorant about it. Most smart people are still ignorant about Bitcoin. Let them be. It’s early. He calls Bitcoiners greedy. Bitcoin is built on honesty. Dave foundation is built on the worst shitcoin ever, the USD.

[@dontsweatitpod]

I like to think Dave is MUCH wiser in life than I am, and I don't want to belittle his intelligence on Bitcoin, even though I think he's wrong. He can afford to be wrong on it and I didn't press too hard to correct him because at the end of the day - he's right about being worried for people who invest their life savings into crypto thinking it's the solution. It could be... but it could also turn out wrong. No one knows for sure, and you have to diversify and be responsible. I don't disagree with him on that. -AJ

[@Lyudtaru]

You are correct. He is very very ignorant and doesn't want to look into one of the biggest deals we have today. Bitcoin is much bigger than what we ever had or will have. It's sad that he is misleading so many people when it comes to this subject.

But I disagree with him on it over all...but you can't buy it when you have other investment needs and bills, etc. But love your work...keep up the good work and thanks for the Dave vid as I love him and his crew!

Taxes & Inflation keep you from financial freedom. You have to learn to invest, not just have a professional invest your money. You have to be alert, learn and do for yourself. No one is more concerned with your money than you.

Learning part is key to success and limiting your blind spots.

[@dylanbly3468]

The main issue with his withdrawal rate is that he’s saying he gets a 12% return. No one in retirement has 100% equities to get that type of return

[@basseon]

Exactly. But when you're rich like him, you can have a gigantic sum in equity that will produce 8% and more ROI. It's also crazy to think that it's easy to make 12% ROI with a mutual fund.

[@StarcloneSCR]

Dave recommends that people have 100% equities even after retirement.

[@freedomring3022]

he addresses this in the video. stop beating a dead horse and do what serves you best which is what he says

[@halfpeltalt]

Dave is wrong about the 10% withdrawal rate. Its been shown time and time again you'll run out of money during retirement.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Yes. He's 9% too high.

[@ethangilworth7891]

It was really quite obvious that Dave has done little to no research on Bitcoin and yet insists that investing in it is a bad idea. To boot, he was completely unwilling to listen to anything you said about the topic. Your patience was amazing though. Keep at it Andrei!

[@spencerhaness]

Would be interesting to know if Dave really believes inflation has averaged ~ 4%. That is the official number the government gives us but it’s pretty obviously much higher than that, making most of his 11% ROI just nominal returns that aren’t really increasing overall purchasing power. If you measure the stock market in terms of gold, they’ve returned 0% over the last 30 years. The “returns” are deceptive and really just retaining your purchasing power.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

Inflation was practically zero for the first two decades of this century dude.

If I had taken advice such as Dave offers, I'd still be in debt and wage-slave. Since then I stopped trading crypto and other speculative stocks have a more passive investing style. I would never suggest to do what I did, because I am no genius, I just got very very lucky.

When countries are getting in on it and is not just some thing that has no history, it has 15 years of history and basically no issues.

[@mjs28s]

@10:00 Oy. There is Dave being stupid and acting like sequence of return risk doesn't exist. But ok, Dave, the market has averaged 11% but it rarely does 11%. It is either over or under. Get a decade, like 2000 to 2010, with you taking out money in a flat market and your retirement is DOA @10:32 No Dave, people are calling you out because of SEQUENCE OF RETURNS risk. You can retire on $1,080,000 and take out 8%, your number, first year and then inflation adjust it going forward. So after the first year let's say the market has a 15% correction and inflation was 3.5%. Your account is now down to $850,000 and you need to take out $80K * 1.035 = $82,800 taking your account balance down to $767,000. With inflation your next withdrawal will need to be $82.8K * 1.035 = $85,698. You'd have to make about 12% that year just to end with the same $767K that you started with. But ok, Dave thinks 'average' represents the returns each year, or a very close range of, rather than a large range around the average. According to Portfolio Visualizer, you'll have to search it as some channels delete comments with links, if you retired in 2000 and took out 8% and adjusted for inflation with an SP500 index fund, you ran out of money in Dec 2009. If you retired at the 2007 market peak, right before the correction started and then into the financial crisis, your $1,000,000 ran out by Dec 2021. If you were lucky enough to retire at the financial market crash at the bottom so everything was rosey, Feb 2009, you would have done quite well and you'd have about $4.26 million dollars today. If you retired in 1993 right before the bull run of the 90's really got going you'd be slightly ahead in absolute dollars, but not when you adjust for inflation. Your account in absolute dollars would be $1.497 million today, but those inflation adjusted withdrawals that started off at $80K in 1993 will eat that up toot-sweet. Anyhow, your purchasing power of $1,000,000 in 1993 when you retired is now down to $683,600 today. The fund that he is almost certainly talking about is the Investment Company of America (a mutual fund from American Funds). And even that fund, with that 12.2% average STILL requires you to retired at the right time or you run out of money. The ticker is AIVSX. Anyone should also test that one with Portfolio Visualizer and see how many times you can fail following Dave's advice. So, I guess you just need the luck of retiring right at a market bottom before a HUGE bull run.

he's so wishy washy with his 8% withdrawal rate. i don't think he knows what he means. seem like he could meaning to take out that years return minus 4% to account for inflation. so 10% return and you withdraw 6% of your portfolio that year. of course that system creates a crazy volatile income for retirees that is not feasible. will often have zero income for the year. maybe even negative income depending on what you do when the return is less than 4% in any years. you contribute back into the portfolio? he's too stubborn to admit he's wrong and now just talks around the subject and now backsteps more saying "i don't care what assumptions you make". he knows he's wrong and the interviewer knows he wrong but does not push or mention sequence of returns out of embarrassment. probably why he hosts the interviewer in his studio. less likely to call someone out properly in their home so to speak.
