6:44 that's what I need. A friend who has done it at least once. I'm all alone out here. 5:58 I've read rdpd 8 times as well as all his other books and you definitely can't learn how to get into good debt just by reading his 1st book....

I just started to listen to this but I am on the same path. Rich dad poor dad was the book I read. So always a believer about investing and then in 2020 my husband went to work for Churchill Mortgage and they follow Dave Ramsey's method because the owner of Churchill Mortgage and Dave Ramsey are friends. And they Ramsey is for people who just do not know how to control their spending but even I don't agree to buy homes and try to pay it off. So it's a blend of both worlds so long as you understand and know what you're doing.

Getting rich by creating inflation for the majority

[@BabyMikeVenom]

Conglomerate companies create inflation more than an average real estate investor.... 🎉

[@Brzypoint]

Jaren...you are about to have your world completely turned upside down if this is what you think is going to keep you going in the next 2-3 years...This WAS a great plan 10-15 years ago, but we need to look at the current situation, and the charts...Oh, how the times have changed...
