When I decided to quit drinking the first time my friends didn't know. That Saturday I was with friends and was offered a beer. I said no, I decided to stop drinking. They insisted but I said no thanks. I'm happy without it. Then one of them started calling me a Jesus Freak. I raised my hand and said "guilty"! I soon learned that these people were never my friends in the first place. I think everyone should try that test to see who your real friends are.

I don’t drink alcohol at all and I always get questioned - they’re just jealous they can’t have fun without alcohol!

[@callmecordelia7181]

I’ve heard similar stories. My cousin and brother both struggled with alcohol and their friends knew and pressured them to drink if they tried to stop. My cousin would go to restaurants before her other friends and order a virgin drink so they would THINK she was drinking and not bother her. My brother tired to quit and I met him and my dad at a restaurant and my dad bought two drinks and put one in front of my brother very dramatically. And my brother started drinking again. I do NOT understand this.

[@jenniferpearce1052]

I'm so grateful I have never had either friends or coworkers pressure me to drink. In fact, the closest to "pressure" I've had over drinking is my parents telling me I needed to learn to like some kind of alcoholic beverage to drink during social situations because I don't really like the taste.

[@lindadorman2869]

If you amortize the cost of an item over its lifetime, the KitchenAid stand mixer is a bargain. I bought mine over 30 years ago for $300 and it's still going strong. I'm 62 now and this thing will probably outlast me. One of the best investments I've ever made. The downside is that it weighs about 50 lbs. and it's a pain to lift or move.

Looked at the cost of a decent riding mower, and the cost of one of those robot mowers, and calculated how long we could pay a neighborhood teen to mow the lawn for the same $$$$ - it was YEARS. No programming required, just hand over cash and say "please mow the lawn" and it's done. Happily.

So i used to be of the opinion that long term storage is a bad idea before i lived in a small apartment. I just didn't have enough storage so i rented a unit the size of a closet across the street and the square footage was waaay cheaper than getting a bigger apartment. When i moved into a house and i have more closet space, a garage, and more rooms i agree. If i need a storage unit now, then that is a sign i have too much stuff.

[@Caliabra]

This one is really is math. How much will it cost to replace all this stuff when I get a house or seasonally? Some stuff may have sentimental value though. My husband got one when he moved into my one bedroom condo. A lot of the items were like an old mattress and his old couch. A lot of this was peace of mind in case we broke up he wouldn’t be out of all his essentials

If you have the money I think lawn care is a great purchase. It gives someone a way to work and make money. Also the person paying for the service frees up their time for other things they enjoy or need to do. Don’t judge those that get it though.

Uppababy is great to buy used. We have one that is 12 years old now and has gone through seven kids - three for the previous owner and four for us. Those strollers are tanks - and we only paid $200 for ours used

[@maryt7468]

Papa Dave should definitely be springing for that fancy stroller George. Give like no one else right?!?! 😂 Feel free to screenshot and email him this comment as a hint 😅

[@embee5605]

This video was really good! The concept of the motivation behind these purchases, paying cash, and your thoughts on these in general.

[@PCKA1987]

Marathons! I’m there. 😂 that’s my thing.

[@brookebales2931]

Daily smoothies for the fam of four, every morning in our Vitamix!!! Then like blender healthy oat muffins/oven pancakes etc. in it. Use 1-3 times daily. Going strong for 7 years now. Best money spent!! 🙌

I love these episodes. Y’all are so funny😂 and informative.

A lifted truck comes in handy in rough terrain situations or if there is a flood I know you joked about that but where I live we get floods quite often and it would be really nice to have a lifted truck you're not to mention I'm pretty sure lifted vehicles are safer. Therapy may or may not be cheaper but reading the Bible is free and that will clear a lot of things up. There are obviously the regular Splurge purchases you get on a regular basis that aren't that expensive individually but then there are the bigger splurges like you guys mentioned about Taylor Swift tickets or lifted truck you don't make those purchases on a regular basis like cosmetics

Since I started the Ramsey Plan 3 yrs. ago I just ask myself if this is a want or need & surprisingly it is usually a want!

[@amyfeigt6715]

I do get grocery delivery. I work from home, so it saves me from going to the store. It also completely eliminates any risk of impulse purchases or buying something we shouldn't eat anyway. We basically reorder the same items every time unless something is out of stock or there is a one-off item that's needed. For me, the trade off works.

[@criscristofferson7381]

I saw George’s reel where his dogs were playing in his backyard. He needs to hire new guys to mow his yard if he’s having to pay for that. They be slippin’ 😂

[@abigailmuser5871]

I use my kitchenaid mixer weekly if not daily. I got mine as a hand me down from my sister who found 2 at goodwill and gave me one. They last a long time even with heavy use. I would say it's the "uppa stroller" of the small appliance world. I think its totally worth the price IF you cook or bake regularly. If you don't cook or don't enjoy cooking, don't buy it for looks. But if it's going to be used it's totally worth it!

[@truleegarewal5949]

These convos entertain me on my way to work so much thank you.

[@Numbercruncher34]

Great video guys! Great thanks Rachel now I gotta work side hustles for a mosquito killing kit in FL 🤣

[@wb5408]

My Kitchenaid is used at least 4 times a week and I've had it for nearly 22 years. It has taken a beating, and is still going strong. I would say--get a white one or a practical color that will go with any decor. You'll probably get sick of pink or yellow at some point.

[@katiebaker254]

I love Rachel and George, and I have 3 daughters, 13, 11, and 9. They are all about this show!

[@user-zg3rk9pv1w]

As a marathon runner paying for the race gives gives you a date/goal to train towards and the crowds can make a massive difference

[@thenerdymillennial]

I have a storage unit but only because I am in a not great living situation and don't have anywhere else to put my belongings... people hate on the units until they need them

[@mainstreetmillennial]

George- get a Sodastream for your sparkling water habit! It’s a bit of an investment up front… I think ours was $80 or so BUT we save so much in the long run and better for the environment since we don’t have a million cans.

[@taylorlynn4232]

Ouch, I got called out with the Marathons! Those do get real expensive!

[@cassandrawessel7452]

I use my kitchenaide mixer all the time! Its great for shredding cooked meat, cookies, kneading bread dough, mashing large batches of potatoes

[@breezybre2670]

..how does it shred meat? This would be awesome.

[@ambethk77]

Yes and you save a lot of money cooking from scratch!

[@euenfheiejrj]

@@breezybre2670just put a cooked chicken breast in there and it shreds it.

[@n9oqu]

You can look at this show and appreciate it while you are in the “rice and beans” stage of your Ramsey financial reformation if your are intense about your challenge to become debt free. Attitude is everything! Thanks again for all your hard work to help educate those who a striving to make that change.

[@MildTurkey77]

I'm with you George, I have a lawn guy too and it's great!

[@jessicaferguson4430]

Umbrella strolls are called that because they kinda look like an umbrella when folded up, not because they have a cover over them (although some do) :)

[@samanthah2226]

My bob runs circles around the uppababy, but we also live in an outdoor area and gravel is everywhere.

[@virginiablasi7109]

I bought a $200 exercise bike from QVC during Lockdown. I am still using it 3 years later.

[@AB-sj3tl]

Love you guys ❤ I just enjoy the conversation, it’s like spending a fun evening with friends.

[@sherryojeda9178]

I found my stroller at Target for under $200. I had it for years. I wanted to keep it just to carry my bags in for the zoo or shopping, but didn't. Lol! I've never heard of that expensive brand you talked about.

[@comment_account2343]

Citi mini GT all the way, you can run with them and buy them used online under $100 and they hold up for years.

[@annette9450]

New this show and it’s becoming one of my favorites!

[@KyleePicc]

Hahaha I can relate to this marathon cost. $100 for every race fee, $150 flight, $250 hotel, food when there, $140 running shoes that have to be replaced multiple times a year, PT for the injuries. It is not a free hobby 😂

[@gingercat7925]

Are you a Marathon Maniac?
