The Fastest Way to Become a Millionaire (with Dave Ramsey)

[@floydchusset3143]

So much knowledge! Absolutely free! I was never taught anything about money, I am praying and working to change that. I am 46 no retirement no savings because I made a lot of mistakes when I started investing, trying to correct that now. Already have a few thousand$ saved up to invest for long term. I would like to know what advice you could give to start my investing journey. Listening to you gives me inspiration and wisdom. Thank you so much!

My grandfather was a janitor and retired a millionaire. Being smart with your money is key!

[@LouisDuran]

And buying Apple stock in 1985 was a key component of his success!

[@METVWETV]

@LouisDuran It's an attitude like this that will keep your poor. While it would of course help to have bought any of the big ones on the ground floor, time + consistence is the "Secret!" $150/month for 40 years makes you a Millionaire! Imagine what doubling that or multiplying it by a factor of 10 would produce!

I am 61. Live in California 🤔. Have 6 kids and a sick husband who never could keep a job. He passed away at 49 years old. All my life I worked as a caregiver mostly for my needy family and for outside people as needed. I started working with $4.75 in late 80s and I am payed $18.50 now/ in 2024. Didn’t know about Ramsey till recently but with God’s help,being frugal and not making wrong decisions with the money that God entrusted me, I managed to pay all my debts except the mortgage which is only $50,000. more and I will be free of debt. Not mentioning that attached to my house I have a rental already bringing me income and I’m working on the second apartment on the same property. So what I’m saying NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU MAKE, MATTERS HOW MUCH YOU SAVE. And how you make use of the money God entrusted you with.

My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now.

I started with Dave Ramsey when I graduated college in 2009 and I started a corporate engineering job. Became a net worth millionaire in 2017. Currently my net worth is about $5 million. Lived super frugally on a small portion of my income and invested the rest…. Boom it’s that simple. I believe anyone can become a multi-millionaire. To become extraordinarily wealthy, that does take another level of grit, talent and sometimes luck. FYI, I grew up lower middle class and started with nothing with no one wealthy in my family.

I am so glad I randomly ran across Dave’s show on KZbin 4 years ago. It completely changed my trajectory. Now I’ve always saved for retirement and put away the max towards my 401k at work since age 25, but I’ve never gotten serious about getting rid of my student loans until I watched the show. Coming out with 140k in student loans makes me feel like it’s hopeless until you really get aggressive with pay it off. Once I followed the baby steps… that loan went away quickly and without loans, I never slept better… a whole weight was off me… and I finally can see how I can take that money invest it and see it quickly amass. Within 1 year, got me to a million. Cutting back, rice and beans were tough to do but the freedom it brings now… 100% worth it. Worth the short term sacrifice for the long term mental freedom.

[@CraigNAnderson]

I was a saver, breed in me from my parents. My wife and I are mid 50's. Our net worth is $3M. I was listening to Dave on the radio in 2008 during stock market crash. He told everyone to not sell stocks as they were falling. One of the hardest lessons to learn in wealth building. I invested 15% of my paycheck in a 401K for 30 years, in the S&P, and never once sold or moved $, thanks to Dave. Thats how we became millionaires.

Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however, I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-- lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

I wanted to be debt free before I proposed to my (now) wife. I told her as much Did everything I could to accelerate the process and did it 6 month earlier than she thought (because I was working overtime and taking extra jobs). It was a terrific motivator. I didn't do it for me, or her.. but for us and our future.

This is great. I'm on Baby Step 1. I've struggled getting out of debt because I've been stuck in that mindset of this is too hard. Having this to look forward to is inspiring. Even if I only make it $500k, that is way more than I would have by quitting. Gazelle Intense!!

I'm on 2 and here to tell you you can do it. Paid off student debt. Looking to pay off my loan and the car this year. Leaving ONLY the house. Hoping to pay my house off in 4 years.

[@christianday6759]

My wife and I followed your plan before I found you in the last month or so. You are absolutely correct. We are retiring on more money than our income, growing capital and having fun helping friends and favorite charities. You can't beat 15% of income compounded for 30-40 years. I am glad people are listening to you and following the plan.

[@dailydosemusics]

wow!!!! greetings from Germany ! I am 21 Years old and "only" 28000€ in debts because I tried to help my family... parents unfortunately were not a good teacher when it comes to finances. they showed how to make debts but not how to pay them back effectively. I have a good job and earn 2000€ a month but barely have 1 cent to live in month. this channel Completely changed my mindset. And you know what? I pretty sure now that I will be a millionaire in no longer than 5 Years. I already have a plan how to pay off the debts a fast as I can and how I will invest more than 50% of my income. Thank you

[@aishabah6507]

tell you what i have listened but not paid attention to these baby steps for a long time because i wanted a way to get out of debt without the hard work. Now i get it. i need to put in the work. I work for myself to get myself away from debt. I'm doing this for me. I am the only one who can do it. I need to follow the steps religiously as if I am saving someone's life. True that someone is me.. Thankyou

[@Kyriecat12]

My carrot was actually to get out of debt. Absolutely HATE payments. These steps work! We are now paying off our house!

[@kellyraber3108]

I feel like there could be a whole book on Baby Step 3 alone. It can be less exciting or motivating than getting out of debt and when you finally reach Baby Steps 4, 5 and 6, sometimes, because of emergencies, you find yourself back in Baby Step 3. An encouraging and supportive book on that step would be awesome!

[@marram2852]

You are not really "back" in baby step 3, you just replenish your emergency fund while working steps 4-6 or 7, depending on where you are.

[@Red_1976]

Finding it difficult to save for BS3! Always dipping into it for emergencies, real emergencies. Always feel like I’m going forward a step and back two. Very frustrating! These videos are encouraging & knowing I am not alone in this journey helps.

I agree that the stock market is an excellent way to generate passive income. I've heard of numerous investors generating more than $40,000 per month. how can i invest and diversify my portfolio?

[@FelineAirstrip]

As a regular investor, it is difficult to outperform the market. You lack access to information that specialists do. So it's simply best to hire a professional who understands how things function.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

You could invest in stocks, start a side business, or focus on advancing your career. It's important to set goals and make a plan. Remember, wealth can mean different things to different people, One thing i can say that helped me in life to reach my first million was starting early, i got curious and informed i became open to passive income, investments in equities , etfs and the likes. also sought help to handle my portfolio which was my foundation. i'm ever grateful to Anna Rounds Fay my FA.

So many people have a misconception of becoming "wealthy." The very word Wealthy has been made a negative word, drumming up the vision of Scrooge. These who view wealth in this way are ignorant. They miss what baby step 7 ends with, " live like no one else, so that later you can Live and Give like no one else. Dave isn't hoping that those who become debt free and wealthy become Scrooges, but become a blessing to their family and those in need. It's what money does that's important.
