My older sisters did a Dave Ramsey course when they were in their teens. They taught me (I was 11) how to manage my money. I started my emergency fund with $50 and slowly worked my way up to more than $500 in no time. The key is to NOT recklessly spend. All my peers were spending money on useless clothes and makeup and Starbucks drinks. I also sculpt as a hobby and save money I make off of commissions. I'm so thankful I learned about this early on. I'm going to college soon and am excited at the idea of no debt! I'm also excited to teach my future kids the same things I have. It's doable.

[@CasperReacts0336]

The actual morale of the story rather than selfish one, “never get married and be selfish and bitter for the rest of your life,” Is to focus on yourself first, financially, physically, and mentally. Once you complete that, you’ll love yourself with no financial burdens and you’d know your worth. Then when you complete yourself, then you can find a like minded person with the same goals and dreams. Many people forget is that one of the most major causes for divorce is money. Get that under control for yourself, find someone else who is financially and mentally stable, then everything would fall in place. Look at Dave Ramsey and his wife, they’ve been together even after his financial flop, also with multi-millionaire Dan Lok. To conclude my point, getting rich for selfish reasons is not going fulfill anything developing yourself and finding someone to share it with, and passing those traits on I.e. your children. That’s how you can make the world a better place.

Keeping a 20-30k emergency fund in a standards savings account seems like a huge waste. Instead of making ~0.05% interest, you could put it in a money market and make ~0.25%, and have the exact same liquidity. Even better, you could put it in a ~3 year CD and get 3% interest! You just have to make sure that the early withdrawal penalty is reasonable. At my local credit union, the penalty is 90 days worth of interest, which comes out to about $100. I earn $500 a year on the interest, though, so that would more than pay for itself in the unlikely even that I ever make an early withdrawal.

[@iandunn206]

One other thing I forgot to mention was that sometimes there's a difference between the minimum balance between a savings account and a money market. That won't matter for someone with 20k in savings, but it would for someone with $1000. That's another area with a local credit union will probably serve you much better than a national corporate bank will; my credit union doesn't have a minimum balance for either type of account.

[@EliteOpossum5]

Ian Dunn or put into a high yield savings account at 2% interest so you are easily liquid

[@JiisTube]

Yeah I ain't seen a 3% CD, but there are lots of 2% HY savings accounts. One small thing about high-yield savings accounts is they usually have monthly deposit limits, like $1k max, and maybe not FDIC insured. But they're liquid and basically keep up with inflation. Either way, a fully funded emergency fund's interest earned is only gonna be what like $500 per year tops? Doesn't make much difference, the important thing is that it's quickly accessible.

[@iandunn206]

@@JiisTube 3% was standard a few years ago when I set mine up, but you're right that it's much lower today. It'll go back up, though. $500 per year is not nothing to me, especially when it compounds every year. I've looked at Capitol One's HY accounts, and they are appealing, but I couldn't justify it morally, since their business is built on tricking people into debt. Maybe there are more ethical companies out there though, I haven't looked.

Hmm...pay off the 150K that he's paying less than 4% interest on or invest 150K and make 8%+....tough call.

[@stevemyopinion423]

it math, let say he owns 100k on the condo, at 3 percent intrest, if he had a 100k in cash in invest it, if he made dave 12 percent that would be better, 12 - taxes (.25)= 9.5 -3 percent= 6.5 percent that is a extra 6500 a year. what if he only made 8 percent now it only a extra 2k a year but if he make less then 7 percent after tax and the 3 percent he paying on his condo he lose money that year, plus I am assumeing he has a 3 percent loan, it might be 4 or even 5. so depending on his LOAN intrest rate, and taxes he would pay on money earn form stock plus what he would earn dave 12 percent what most people say 8 to 11, or 4 to 8 percent decide if it a good idea or bad idea,

if you have a 30 year conventional with 20% down. reasons to not pay it down. -tough to get equity out -inflation, payment will stay same (besides property tax) the life of the loan. -mortgage interest is tax deductible - cash to pay mortgage payments in the event of a job loss or recession. - grow the extra in a taxable account like etrade.

[@MRAROCKERDUDE]

I like Dave Ramsey but the caller is clearly somewhat good with his finances. So I'd ask, how much interest is he paying on the mortgage? That percentage will determine the next step. If the percentage is rather low (1-3.5%), he may be better off not paying off the mortgage and investing the money in an index fund making around 7% annual returns. If he has to pay 4% annually on a mortgage but he earns 7% in annual returns, that is a profit of 3% if he kept the mortgage payments ongoing and didn't pay it off.

[@mlambert1974]

That's exactly what I'm doing!!!! :)

Michael Lambert Do you have to invest the same amount as your total mortgage

[@MRAROCKERDUDE]

@Sponge Bob Correct, but the Baby Steps are one-size-fits-all. I'd say the Baby Steps will work for a good chunk of the population. But you can't deny there are a better financially literate minority that shouldn't use the one-size-fits-all approach if it's better for them not to.

[@MRAROCKERDUDE]

@Sponge Bob The key there is "pretty much". There are those who don't fit the bell curve. I, for example, use credit cards. Personally I find cash worse than credit cards for keeping on top of spending because with cash, I can't keep track of it, but I look at my credit card numbers daily and I'm super frugal. Plus, here in the UK, you get section 75 protection which effectively makes the credit card company as liable as the retailer for product/service issues. The principles will help most people but the key there is most. Finances are inherently personal and specific to your circumstances. Advice can't always be painted with a broad brush.

[@kevinrehberg8758]

I would suggest an "emergency fund" in the form of a CD Ladder.. Typical "savings accounts" pay almost nothing in interest.. but if you have the EF in the form of several CDs it would pay 10-25 times better interest.. And the larger number of steps in the ladder the better. Thinking in units of 12.. he should have 36-60 of them.. This way he can draw only what he needs and pay the least amount of Early Withdrawal Penalty

[@DigitalHaze65536]

I've heard they aren't worth the paper they are printed on. They can even get half of your 401k! The way I see it, if you are getting older, past the age where it would be fair to children to have them, then don't bother getting married. I mean, who wants to be 10 years old and have a 55+ year old father? If you are 45ish + and still no kids I'd say in all fairness that boat has sailed, not worth trying to swim after it. I don't make the money this guy does (60K year) and I was wasteful in spending most of my life, but was blessed with an employer that matched in 401K, up to 317K in that right now. Only 10K in savings but no mortgage. Now I'm starting to throw more into the 401K and I keep some savings going into that emergency fund, shooting for 20K for that then I will start investing on my own. I sure don't won't some woman to come along and totally derail me. At 46 I don't have time to really recover from that, if I keep up the good work of the last few years I should retire well :) (I find that it was easier to become disciplined with money when I could see the "finish line" in sight, wish I had started earlier but when you see about 250K in the 401K you start to think wow, quarter million, and it's starting to make nice interest, perhaps I should nudge that along.....)
