52 this year. Just diagnosed with cancer on Christmas eve. But surgery and much prayer has given me a new lease on life. THE FIRE IS LIT!! For the first time in my life the wife and I are on the same page financially. And with God and Dave's help we are moving like a run away train toward financial freedom.

[@cjr5571]

That’s wonderful! God is good, keep crushing it brother...

For me the biggest mindset change came after reading the book 25 Money Secrets From Donald Trump, since reading it the only thing I think about is money

[@wendybryan6071]

Trump and Ramsey do too. They don't want the rich to pay more in taxes. How do they think we pay for public education, roads, infrastructure etc? Maybe it has more to do with not providing food stamps and Medicaid to low income households. It's good thing he isn't in charge of the budget. The super rich can afford to pay more. Their kids can work just like everyone else.

[@johnnnewmex]

"you're not even there yet and you're breathing easier." I love that. It really illustrates how being debt free and having an emergency fund can totally change your life.

[@shawnchristianson324]

My girlfriend and I began 2024 with roughly 24k in debt. We are now around 10k and will be very close to getting out by year’s end. Absolutely changing our life, and our future. Thank you.

"If your broke friends arent making fun of you, youre doing it wrong." My favorite quote, when I sold my 2016 Tacoma that had me $30k in debt and bought a cheap car in cash, my broke friends thought it was hilarious! But now im debt free and with my savings building up, soon ill be the one laughing! :)

My husband and I drive around in 10 year old cars (paid off) last year we paid off our mortgage...turned around bought another house rented out the paid off house..... We do not have to pay anything for our new mortgage.......but our plan is to pay it off in five years so that we can receive that rental money as income......

[@Ammo-Hoarder]

The whole point of wealth for me is freedom. My magic number in my mind is $5 million needed at 65 to not worry about anything and i am halfway there. Since i am closing in on retirement, i am searching for an aggressive strategy to boost my Roth accounts and maximize the tax-free profits.

[@IAMBETTERTHANYYOU]

Financial Advisory... Many won't tell you this but that's your surest and safest bet since most alternative investments have greater earnings potential but more risk, too.

Impressive! How can I contact this advisor? My portfolio isnt doing well, and I need guidance.

[@elizabethyork590]

[@JAK0E]

Dave, I'm so glad I found you before I ended up like some of your callers. My wife and I are about 20,000$ in debt and combined we only make 35ish. But our rent is only 400$! We just started Monday and our emergency fund already has 550$ and if all goes to plan, we should be debt free in two years!

[@ugoekwegh4581]

Good luck my friend

[@garretteckhardt6665]

Friend, I make 35 and I made a goal to pay my 21k in debt by the end of this year. My annual expenses are 15,6 so if I put in overtime every single day, live on beans and rice, and get SUPER intentional, I WILL have my mess cleaned up by 2021, no selling required. Just a boatload of hard work and a healthy dose of self control. Turns out, you can make a LOT of great meals with rice, beans, or pasta!

I feel SO AWFUL for being so mindless with money in these past 25-years. I lived without budgeting.. I lived in late-fees and overdraft city... I took out student loans to go to classes, and never did achieve getting that degree... Also, a few years ago, I drew out what little 401k savings I did have.. To think, if I had saved for all of these years Ive been working, I could be RETIRING soon!! ... (I take FULL RESPONSIBILITY for what I've done, and not done)... and now, So now, age 43, I've begun my financial make-over.

I had $40k in student loans, and now I'm down to $10950 at 2.7% interest in 18 months. I should be finished paying off my loans in a year. I have a negative net worth, but I started my career a little later than most because I had to take longer in university due to some learning disabilities.

[@specialsituationsinvesting3310]

5:35: “If people aren’t making fun of you, you’re probably not on track” I have had co-workers make fun of me for the car I drive for years. However, these same co-workers have recently begun asking my advice for how to run a household and get out of debt. Talk about a confidence boost when you don’t have to impress someone else with what you own.

Step 1: Start saving towards an emergency fund. ($1,000). Step 2: Get rid of all your debts except your house. Step 3: Slowly build on that emergency fund to cover 3-6 months expenses in your life.

[@ryanthepianoman27]

Saving 1000 is impossible

[@barbarafallin2038]

You are right, you need more than a 1,000 you got this ,save more

[@jayj4439]

People need to more accurately define an emergency. That thousand is enough. It's not meant to be cushion money but rather a prevention of going further into debt.

[@brendaknox7568]

​​@ryanthepianoman27 I only make 2,200.00 a month. If you don't go anywhere and make your food, you can get it. I just started listening again to Dave. I wish I had continued listening from the time I was younger. I plan on putting back a couple of hundred dollars every month until I have it.

A year ago I had a great credit score, a car payment, paying off credit card balance each month without incurring interest and a low mortgage loan rate, and I was stressed out because I can't save a dime... Today I got rid of all my credit cards, paid off the car loan, have 8 months expense as emergency fund, saving 15% towards retirement, saving for college for my 3 kids. My score went down to "good" and they colored it "yellow", so when I am ready to refinance my mortgage to 15 I'll probably get a higher rate... But I don't care as I now have a realistic plan to pay it off in 8-10 years... I don't stress about savings anymore all because I took FPU and changed my ways... Sure I have many friends who see me as weird and unwise with money and investment and finance in general, but I've decided to be stress free instead...

I agree, what I do is basically create an account which I do not have a card to. Which means anytime you need to pull money from the account it will take time to pull money from the account. Putting $100 / $250 away every month goes an extremely long way. The best way to really and truly put money aside is to automate it.

I would definitely put emergency money in a fund where I could get the money out in a day or two instead of a normal bank account. There, money grows by 1-5% instead of earning 0.05% interest or whatever your bank gives you. Always make more money if it's possible.

Yup! This is a real national financial security. We take accountability of our own decisions.

You can find some decent high yield savings account for something like this, though that's little more than 1% a year as he said. Not a lot, but as your emergency fund grows during step 3, making a few dollars a month at the least feels good.

When I was proud to have a $40k job in my 20s, the old experienced dudes with beat up trucks kept me humble.

[@cashboy7406]

I dislike people who hate on me for doing well financially. They don't see the old me, starving and hungry drowning in debt. They see the new me, shining and glowing and being generous. They want what I have, but aren't willing to do what I did. F*cking pathetic.

[@JamesThomas-pv5en]

Well done for doing well bruv 👌🏽 there will always be hatters everywhere just remember your hatters are your motivators. Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks about you the main thing is what you think of your self. Self confidence, self esteem, self worth and beliefs are all that matter just focus on making money and being successful and f*** everyone else. Keep doing what your doing and Good luck 🙏🏽 blessings from London.

I have a small business, and I had one account doing everything I’ve been down to my last 1000 3 times and the moment I’ve start watching these type of videos and having a emergency account investing more of my money don’t even feel like a risk am making way more now all because of the peace of mind that emergency fund bring

Easy to understand, very complicated to perform obviously, but fight on folks ...

[@denisebentley8011]

My favorite Dave Ramsey video! So inspiring 😊

[@WhimsyWendy]

I wish Dave had been around sooner, like ten years sooner, to shake some needed financial sense into our collective heads.

[@cesargalvan896]

Thank you GOD for find Mr Dave channel and follow that way to be free debt 😀GOD BLESS YOU

[@seanclarke4061]

Stupid is on parade all around us! "A clown show" is exactly right dave. Everyone has become okay with, and it's definitely the norm. Lets get rich by being weird and not following what everyone else does! Do what dave does and build your wealth everyone! Love the rants dave. Changing my life for sure. Thank you

[@reneehenderson4818]

People ask me all the time, "does David's system really work? The answer I have is, "it works for me", you might want to try it. And it's true that you will be breathing easier with every bill you pay off, with every step you complete, you will be less worried and closer to financial stability.

DAVE! I had a dream a few nights ago after I paid off my credit card where I got a letter that said that you were going to adopt me and be my dad because I was almost done baby step 2, and then Rachel called me and said that she was going to help me write a will and it was the best dream I was sobbing hysterically and was heart broken when I woke up. Can you still adopt me or is it too late? I'm 21 and have my starter emergency fund and a 4000$ student loan left. Dave please.

[@haza123b4]

+Dejana Zivkovic *I can adopt you.*

[@camxdidxthat]

Your 21, what would possibly be in your will? A teddy bear and some socks.

[@aishai.4432]

+TKD COW so rude!

[@deeziv]

+Cameron Mitchell Actually, my paid of 2000 Mercedes-Benz station wagon, and my gmc sierra pickup truck that is owned outright are among two of my assets that will be in my will. ;) Plus if you listen to Dave regularly, he teaches the importance of wills.

[@camxdidxthat]

Dejana Zivkovic I'm happy for you, that's awesome. i'm also 21 and own my 2012 infiniti g37 coupe s and also have a few stocks and a small savings but I still think a will is excessive. Unless you have children I think you should get a few years under your belt before taking that step. That's just my opinion but I think its great that there are other 21 year old's are interested in controlling their finances and building wealth.

[@bradieclaydon2094]

Love this video - panic like your hair is on fire 😂

[@gregbroderick4282]

+Bradie Claydon Or lack thereof..

Bradie Claydon 😂🤣😂🤣

[@ju_und_rezofan3058]

I'm 33, following Dave for 1,5 years. But didn't get until now that Babystep 3 is part of rushing like a gazelle too... Thanks for this lesson, Sir!

[@griso107]

Daves videos contain so much value..it’s cool to rewatch them now and again..awesome life changing advice 💪

[@NickiVproductions]

I love seeing all the youth in this comment section. It makes me feel a lot more optimistic for the future. Sure, we’ll still have our idiots roaming society expecting to live off of social security when they retire, but at least it’s not the entire population. Dave’s work should be taught in schools!

[@SaveMoneyTricks]

Being in debt is never okay. It is very difficult to move when you know that you have something that you need to pay for in years. It makes your mind think about how to pay it faster and or you shouldn't have bought a new expensive car etc. It will really be a struggle because I've been there. But now, since I learned the hard way, I started saving and be a wise spender. My life has never been better ever since.

[@ginab.4605]

Another amazing rant!!! Thanks Dave!
