So Dave. For the past 7 years I have lived like no one else. Divorced because my husband chose wine over our family, I was bereft and without retirement plans...and 63 years old. So I had a job....snd saved literally every penny. In the past 7 years I saved 205 thousand dollars towards retirement , paid off half my house (80 grand) , have my 20 grand emergency fund, have my 6 grand new used car fund and believe me, during this time , read every book you wrote. I am now 71 years old and am planning to retire from my very stressful State job and have a lovely side business, teaching Qigong to seniors. I plan to continue saving and paying off my mortgage as now this has become a comfortable lifestyle. ..and what do you know, living frugally is now a trend! All this to say many thanks for your inspiration and your loving concern for us all.

[@rockymorris9130]

Amazing!!! I'm proud of you for your outstanding accomplishments. I'm just starting on baby step #2 and shaking in my boots. But Hope will give me the direction I seek with perseverance in the forefront. This isn't for everyone, but I dream of a better life for my family and I. Keep up the great work and I hope you have all you've ever dreamed of.

I heard your exact story on his radio show

[@sbloomer80]

Been married 3 1/2 years, 50k in debt and we live with my parents. I would find my self driving around in neighborhoods close to home crying because I failed in having our own home. This happened a few times and it was an incredible burden to bare knowing that you are married, yet broke and can’t afford your own place. I was near despair but kept going trying to better the situation with unpractical money applications. That was just a few months ago. Two weeks ago my wife and I attended our first of nine FPU classes at Harvest Bible Chapel Elgin, IL. We now have baby step one secure and have begun baby step two with good traction! My hope has been restored and I believe that the best is yet to come! We thank you Dave for your story and your passion to help others see what is achievable by trusting God’s plan and stop being stupid. He has used you in a mighty way and still is as He has inspired us through you to walk by Faith in this area of our life which will transcend in all other areas of our life so we can share our story in the hopes to multiply the story and bring God more glory! We thank God for you, brother Dave and we look forward to our debt free scream! In Him with love, Scottie & Zuni Bloomer

[@ericromero8017]

29 years old, two college degrees (Bachelor and Masters), no college debt. Bought a 6 bedroom house at 26 years of age. Own 4 cars, 3 of which are paid off. I have a good career with great job security and I will be retired when I'm 55. Its all about smart choices. You can come from a poor background and be a success. However you have to be willing to make extreme sacrifices. (i.e. Not going out to eat, having a car that gets you from point A to point B, paying off debt instead of traveling, not going to the movies). Now I can enjoy all of those things I never could before. The same friends that kept bugging you to go out with them are now the ones so financially strapped that they are the ones telling you they can't go out.

His story doesn’t have anything to do with whole life agents or dealership finance. It has to do with being financially irresponsible. But, that’s a bit tricker to understand than a simple story. Plus, products like whole life insurance and debt financing is an easy punching bag. Also, it’s easier to blame something else than take responsibility for your own failures.

[@buddydyer7836]

Problem is getting out of debt or saving up cash requires sacrifice. Most people don't want to sacrifice because it's hard. Our culture is obsessed with comfort and convenience which makes living debt free difficult. We don't want to sacrifice but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

[@kenny3269]

Buddy Dyer so true!

[@Shadow2084]

The exact same lessons Dave taught back in 1992 are just as relevant and pertinent today. Dave - thank you my friend.

[@kdogthehandyman]

True but they were 90 day notes meaning the old bank was renewing his loans every 90 days. The new bank did not call them they just honored the 90 day loan limit. If he had conventional or longer loan terms lik 5years he could have sold them and still made and kept his millions. what happened in the 80s was the way taxes were handled form making money from buy-ing and selling real estate. didn't hurt home prices it just slowed the market down because the buyerss had decreased. Another reason he could not see in 90 days. Extremely risky loans and extremely stupid like he said but he could have still made millions from real estate. he was over leveraged from stupid 90 day loans. 1.2 million on 90 day loans is beyond stupid. He has helped many people though and his lessons are great on how to get out of debt so Dave seems to be a great guy but just clearing up his story a bit.

[@MrRapSick]

^ his story shouldnt be relateable cause its a time period thing, if you're smart you wouldnt blatantly and blindly follow a story from 1985 in 2020 rofl

[@rustyscrapper]

No wonder he flips out on people who ask him about borrowing money to flip property.

[@mikenelson8377]

Yep!

[@ImOldandSoAreMyBooks]

rustyscrapper It's a dangerous slope that can quickly bring you down once the market turns.

[@kdogthehandyman]

They were 90 day loans though, meaning the bank did not just randomly call them up they just didn't renew the loan. he could have kept and made his millions if he had 5,10,15 year loans on them most likely. home values did not crash like they did in 07-08. now Dave is right about the whole debt thing but borrowing money on real estate when you have no consumer debt and the payments are extremely low compared to your income is not a bad thing per say.

[@FrozenMrSadness]

@@naddarr1 Loans can make real estate very profitable. By using loans, you're able to get to leverage a property for 1/4 of the price. Not only will you get some good cashflow, but you'll have someone else paying down the loan, which gives you more equity. This is even safer if it's a multifamily unit. Even though Dave Ramsey lost some properties, let's not forget that he was profiting 250k/yr and had $1million after. This was all in the span of 3 years.

[@taskcasburn6086]

@@kdogthehandyman Debt should never be the norm when investing. It should just be looked at as a very temporal means which you have to financially work through (meaning working to pay off, of course) to get to equity. Once you have equity then that should replace debt ASAP. At least, that's how smart people treat money. I know the crooks, schemers and financial profiteers and backers of Wall Street are high risking wheelers and dealers who operate on debt but remember they're also a bunch of cons and thieves as well. They tell you information that lines their pockets because they play around with numbers and credit default swaps etc. all day long like the financial risk takers they are but honest money advice for the smart and common man is not to spend more than you make. Banks don't hand out loans because they lose money, they do it because they profit off interest rates and because they have more than enough fools out there willing to sign a dotted line without thinking things through. Bottom line, any time you go into the red (debt, borrowing) on your investments you are taking pointless risks and might as well be gambling in a casino because building equity coupled with spending within your means is how you get and stay ahead financially. Us common people have to play by those rules to make it. As for Wall Street, well, they can take risks when they get subsidies (our tax dollars and Money printed by the FED on demand) and have members of congress in their back pockets working things out for them and when we end up paying for their mistakes. Which is exactly what happened in '08 and continues to happen. Unfortunately, we don't get our secured personal debts cushioned like they do so we have to be careful with our money.

Just because the bank will lend you the money, doesn’t mean you should take it. Dave’s baby steps works. The US gov’t is subsidizing all these home mortgages and auto loans.

Cut up the credit cards, paid them off, paid off a loan from the bank, paid off my car, and the only thing I have are mortgage payments that I'll be addressing soon. Being broke sucks. The freedom to help others and not stress over money is a freedom I did not enjoy before because of my selfish spending and not adulting about finances. I am now a Federal employee, and the shutdown really brought home to me what taking control of my finances did for me. So many coworkers were stressed, and had nothing to fall back on...living hand to mouth. THANK YOU, as I was not one of those people terrified of where to turn. Blessings to you always~💞

True financial peace is having the strength to control your finances. To live a frugal lifestyle and live within your means. Credit cards? I control them. They don't control me. I have a few cards that I use on a regular basis. I have not paid a dime of interest in decade's as I don't carry a balance beyond the end of the billing period. Now that I am retired, I not only live like no one else, I give like no one else. It's fun to do.

Its amazing how many high school students come to me with so little hope, so little belief and Dave's program has really helped me help them. I certainly still have a ways to go in getting a majority of them to "buy in" but I think showing them this video might help. If nothing else, it will help some of them and that's all that matters. Thanks Dave!

Dave is amazing. Changed my life and my wife’s live. We’re debt free next month. Army’s paying for my school and we’re paying cash for her college. I’m just not religious.

16k in credit cards paid off in a few years; a piece of real estate paid off a bit later; our home paid off a few years later; a rental house paid off in the following decade. I appreciate Dave's teaching that helped us make this possible.

Without you Mr. Ramsey, I would not be planning on attending college in state. Thank you.

When you believe it is amazing the things that can be done that really doesn't make sense.

I grew up in a blue collar family, living in housing projects, driving truck to put myself through a local university campus, kicked out twice for poor grades, but finally finished, and went on to get a masters. Had 11 jobs in my career, and got fired or laid off from half of them, Put our two kids through school at major out of state universities. Retired at 62 as a multi millionaire, with zero debt. Because I thought I could. I didn't know Dave until recently, but strangely, I did live mostly by his rules. It worked out.

I have been trying to take in a lot of financial advice recently, but no one has left a bigger mark on our family than Dave has

[@khalidabdullah5176]

Bless you Dave and Sharon... You have helped so many people and given them hope.. I live in New Zealand, i have no debt's, however I'm on a very low income, and its a struggle every day, I put aside a small amount of money each week to put in an emergency fund and xmas fund for food.. its been a hard row to hoe, but the best thing about my entire situation is, that I have no debt, and I may not have a car or bus money but I can sleep at night... Wow you guys have been the light at the end of the tunnel for thousands in financial trouble.. Thank you.. :)
