Hiring Jade was one of the best choices Dave has ever made.

[@rebeccaleena4876]

I absolutely love Jade! She is such an asset to the Ramsey team! I love that she speaks from experience and not theory, plus she’s super entertaining!

[@brooke86]

I really really like her too!! She’s great!!

[@RoyalMasterpiece]

And she has chemistry with the whole team. She is a wonderful addition. My favorite is her and Dave. ❤

[@dennish3664]

Wish they actually went into the numbers of the budget instead of just feel good fluff motivation. Eg she worked so hard her fingers were sore. Like she was asked what was her most lucrative side hustle, voice lessons. Ok how much were you making per month/year doing that. How much was the annual income from the main jobs. What was her husband doing as his main job. To pay off 260k of debt in 7.5 years, probably need to be putting somewhere around 3k at it each month which is an additional expense in the budget. Top line monthly income, second line taxes, third debt payoff, fourth rent/mortgage, fifth living expenses. If 3k is 3rd line, likely need an income that supports 3k in taxes a month so about 11-15k a month.

Jade was needed on Dave’s show! Love her personality, realness and personal story.

[@helenflorentino5231]

My friend from work, introduced me to Dave Ramsey 7-8 years ago. My finances were a mess! I saved and saved, and at the same time, was putting an equal amount of monthly mortgage towards the principal. I paid off my house on 17 April, four days shy before my 60th birthday. I am retiring end of April this year, and I am debt free. But on my birthday, my water heater tank started leaking. 😂

[@jenniferspisak]

I’m sorry to hear this, you are not trash. I hope things look up for you soon 🙏

[@DropBox-jx6yr]

Jade is married. You’re divorced. It’s way easier to pay off debt when you’re married to a husband who helps you financially. Your best bet is to put your ex husband on child support and try getting alimony if you’re legally entitled to it.

[@jessicaduvall5059]

Next month I will pay off my third of 12 debts. I love this story because it shows about side hustles leaning into your wheelhouse! I’ve been hesitant about side hustling because I’ve been rejected for a few jobs due to hours or days of availability. I’ve never had this struggle before so the perseverance Jade shows is super encouraging!!

Totally inspiring and empowering . I'm a musician whose income "varies" (LOL). In 2015, we started the Ramsey baby steps, started a business. Today: Debt-free and grateful to live with less and give more. Jade is right on the money! Thank you for this!

[@performingartseducator]

I’m a musician and the arts are very expensive. At first, I didn’t understand that kind of debt, but Jade said that she was in the arts. I also did side hustles. I’m debt free too. It’s just a shame that she had that kind of debt. However I’m glad her family got out of it.

[@antinormality]

Anger is a secondary emotion. It’s never the first emotion. It’s a response to fear. It’s absolutely true to say you’re scared rather than say you’re angry. People get angry because of something or some scenario they’re afraid of. If you are angry, ask yourself why you’re angry and you will find yourself describing what you’re afraid of.

Love your show and of course the Dave Ramsey show as well! Paid off our car loan (our last debt) in January this year🎉 Did not really follow baby steps in order, but we were able to buy a house back in 2020 (which I’m glad we did), with such low interest. We put down 20% and got a 15 yr mortgage. We are debt free except for our mortgage. Our goal now is either pay off our mortgage as fast as we could, or just keep on saving since we are also planning to buy a rental property.

[@anitaaltmaier3687]

Please more podcasts of women and especially single divorced women who share their stories!!

[@src4409]

Sold our truck and used the 22k we got from the sale to buy an older car with no payment and used the 5500 we had left to pay off 1 credit card. We then looked at our interest rates and moved some debt around. We had a card at 18% so we moved it to a heloc that was at 8%. It didn't pay off that debt, just moved it, but saves all of that interest. Also we were already paying the on the heloc and the payment doesn't change so we freed up that extra money that was going to that card and can now throw that to our smallest card.
