[@charlesbrown179]

It's very unfair to the children to make them grow up in poverty. Why so many kids with all that pre-existing debt? It's not like they didn't know the student loan and credit card debt was already there and yet they just kept on with the new cars and new house.

[@LoveLife-oo9cz]

Because their parents can't afford to give them those things or even bother to educate them about debt. Kids want to feel "wow", they want to be recognized that they can have the same stuffs that their friends have. Talk about student loan, if their parents save for them in 529 fund each month then they wouldn't need to borrow student loan. Parents receive child tax credit every year, did they bother to put in college fund for the kids? "Nope, I'm too poor" excuse and lazy excuse over and over again. I do feel sorry for people with reasonable student loan.

[@georgewagner7787]

Our parents couldn't give us much for college bc they started out very poor. But college didn't cost as much. We could work part time and pay half as we went. College is no longer a good idea for some people. There are tech and vocational careers that don't require it and lead to good jobs.

When Dave lightly but firmly bangs his forehead on the desk in front of him several times for taking this call.

Wow what a word Dave I learned a lot from this and praying this couple makes the right moves to be in a better financial position

[@robertmcmillan5640]

I like this guy how he , once in a while throws in a personal comment . He mentioned that he is a dad and says that he has a 28 year old son . That is some cool stuff . He is great therapy . I hope DAve RAmsey stays on here for a while . Clever human being .

Dave was so offended that he really could not take in any information Johnathan was providing. He makes about $100k gross. The problem is his wife feels entitled because she's popped out 4 babies. Having babies doesn't entitle you to use your motherhood or your babies to control your husband OR ruin your financial future. They need to sit down and have a serious talk about money. She can either agree to get on board or she can be treated like a child and get a monthly allowance from which she takes care of her duties. That requires cutting the credit cards and only allowing her access to back account with a slush fund (you assume the money will be spent irresponsibly). $178k mortgage $60k in vehicles $50k student loans $10k credit cards $10k personal loans. This really isn't that bad (and don't let anyone make you feel bad about having kids early!) With $1.5k/wk after taxes, you should be able to put $3k/m towards debt. Easily. 1) Sell both cars. Immediately. Once you clear the balances and have no vehicle debt, buy ONE $3k used car in cash. 2) Pay off the credit cars in FULL within 3 months. Confirm zero balance, and then close accounts. 3) Do the same for the personal loans. 4) If absolutely necessary, buy a second $3k vehicle in cash. You should be able to get this far before the end of next next year. 5) Find a way to increase your business income or get a side hustle. 6) Plan to live off $30k for one year then pay off student loans within 1yr. 7) Congrats! You're onto Baby Step 3 by 2023, debt free except your mortgage, and looking for a new home for your wife and 7 kids. Conversely, if you don't take control of your wife and your finances, eventually you will grow to resent her and find yourself tempted by the outer influences of the world. You'll eventually divorce and see ALL your hard work go towards child support for the next 15+ years. You'll be miserable for the rest of your life. Be willing to hurt (emotionally) your wife with the truth now in order to spare you both and your kids the agony of a broken family a few years down the road.

[@shutupandeatasmr4498]

Wishful thinking, but I doubt they will try to go from 100k down to 30k with his wifes mentality. She feels entitled. And he has 4 kids. I made 30k in my 20’s and had no debt but it was enough for me myself and I. I canT imagine bringing 4 kids and a partner into the equation.

[@angelaonthego]

No way this guy is making $100k gross. He said he’s making $1500/wk at his own business-thats $72k/year and be prob meant gross not net. If was netting $1500 a week and had $6000 in his pocket every month-he might still be stressed with all of that debt-but he wouldn’t sound like he can’t breathe. This guy sounds like he can’t breathe.

[@v0mdragon]

@@angelaonthego i agree. even if this guy follows dave's advice with the 78k salary, he's realistically looking at being debt free in 2030. a decade of slavery with 4 kids! woohoo!

[@suttsd]

"7 kids" 😂😂😂

[@yamamancha]

@@angelaonthego He said 1500 a week after taxes. That's 78k a year net.

get rid of the first word and you are correct. all debt is bad. there are different degrees of bad, but there is no such thing as good debt

I cant imagine having four kids period. XD Two would be a max for me.

[@twincherry4958]

I knew she would be a stay at home mom even before he said it! These are the types that make all other stay at home moms a stereotype.

[@Sunset873]

If the youngest child is 12, why is the wife is a stay at home mom? Why can't she contribute on the income? I don't understand why he called when the answers are obviously in front of him. This guy needs to grow up and be a man!! Blaming God for his problems!!

[@abbywilson199aw]

$1500 a week after taxes isn't $50-60k....that's $72k after tax and about $85k before tax in Texas.

[@PointB1ank]

I assume Dave didn't hear the "after taxes" part. I know he did the math quickly, but 50*1500 should be able to be done in your head in like 3 seconds. But he also said it's a personal business: so it might not be a steady 1500 either.

[@UsernamesSuckHere]

Why would anyone want kids when they can save money if they hadn't had kids in the first place.

[@andrewpagan]

There's never a perfect time to have kids, but I can gaurantee having 4 before you finish 25 is not ideal. Definitely going to make it hard getting out of debt and thriving in life. They will be in survival mode for a long time.

Dave Ramsey is not the best at math...$1500 a week is about $80,000 a year, not “50 or 60 thousand” Actually, he also said "after taxes," so, pre-tax, he is probably making about $110,000.

He is also doing quick math in his head, Infront of a live audience and on the radio.
