My mother did the same right before she retired for the whole family. We rented a house on the Disney property and the entire family stayed together for a week. It was a great experience that everyone enjoyed. It was even more memorable as my brother and his family transferred to Germany for the Army shortly after so we didn’t see each other again for a good part of my niece and nephews childhood. The whole point of saving money is be able to use it to enjoy life and create memories that last with family and friends. Money is a tool not a ends.

Disneyland sucks. Paying $50k to go to Disneyland doublely sucks

[@imveryhungry112]

I just don't understand why she has to pay for everyone to go it doesn't make sense to me. Unless your really rich like 10 million or more how can you pay for 20 people to take a vacation all at once?

[@Dean-oh4pi]

​@imveryhungry112 She doesn't have to. She wants to.

[@imveryhungry112]

@Dean-oh4pi when you try to play rich when your not rich typically that's unwise

[@JacobsNews]

@@imveryhungry112 she rich probably 20k a month in pensions and SS

[@unfairsanic5089]

Lolz that trip is way more than my paid corolla

[@byronbullough5739]

Go and have fun with your family at Disney!

[@Nicolllld]

The Disney cruise is amazing shooot!! We love it. Disneyland eh- too many lines and walking.

[@lepoj]

The amount of people crying about how she spends her own money, when she has more than enough, is wild.

[@puremagicmichelle]

As someone who plans Disney vacations for a living, it doesn’t need to cost nearly this much if you plan accordingly.

[@DJRiyzen]

I wouldn't go near pèdo Disney with my family.

[@b_bogg]

Go to Yellowstone or something lol don’t pay Disney

[@clarifyingquestions]

How about you go to Yellowstone when it is your 50k.

[@JacobsNews]

Yellowstone kids won't remember that . Disney awesome

[@SalisburySnake]

@@JacobsNews WTF? I went to Yellowstone at 8yo and it was absolutely life-changing.

[@firefly9838]

No one finds it strange an old woman wants to go to Disney?

[@coolaunt516]

She's a millionaire. 50K is nothing. But I get it--when you are used to saving your whole life, spending is something you have to learn.

[@PraiseChrist4Ever]

Try Branson Silver Dollar City. Best family park in the USA. Clean and fairly priced. Voted best park in America

Retirement is the time of your life to have the time of your life

[@privacyplease1556]

My folks have a $1.6million nest egg with a pension, they own their home, and are 100% debt free. I wouldn’t encourage this for them. $50k is too much for this kind of expenditure

[@richj011]

Can't take it with you. Do it once!

[@jakefriedman8336]

Smart man. Dave Ramsey!

[@dbealby]

Been to disney 6 times. Spent a lot over those trips. Last trip was the last time for a long time. Not worth it anymore.

[@hanaporter4917]

Wow my husband and I spent the same amount traveling around South America, North America, and Europe for 7 months. Including EVERYTHING like car rental, tours, accommodation, flights, food etc. And we are from Japan currently with the worst exchange rate in the last 30 years. The fact that people think it’s ok to spend that amount on a one week cruise is just madness, regardless of the money you have in your bank account. Or maybe great marketing from Disney since people think it’s ok as long as it’s a ‘one time thing’

[@socal92871]

"you're a millionaire" Was not expecting that answer from Dave. She's a millionaire because she doesn't spend the money.

[@pattycakes25]

Exactly. House paid for? CC debt?

[@BrianW211]

@@pattycakes25 She said that she had no debt.

[@BrianW211]

Yeah, at 1:23 she said "I know. I just don't spend like that." and Dave responded, "well that's how you got a million dollars"

[@possiblyinsane6995]

hes also factoring in her age, i mean she has a million and avg life expectancy is for females is like 76

[@robedmund9948]

She's 62. Can't take it with you.

[@laneblount9888]

You could do so many other things for 50k. Like Europe, the Caribbean, or even Hawaii

[@JuMiMi86]

Feels good to treat family this way. Some memories are priceless. YOLO.

[@thedopplereffect00]

All I remember as a kid was waiting in lines for hours and hours just to go on a 10 minute ride. Never went back

[@t206kid]

Disney has sucked for the last 15 to 20 years, no idea why people continue to go there and pay the prices. and I am someone that used to go a lot and my brother works for the company too

[@inscop520]

Dave, at 1.18 did you not detect an incredulous tone in the lady's voice? She wanted you to say no.

[@crowtservo]

My mother in-law took the whole family in 2017 to Disney World and Universal Studios and a few beach days down there. There was one family member who refused to go. Me. It was right at our busy time of the year and so I worked, but I had a clean house and I was able to watch whatever movies or tv shows I wanted to at night, it was sort of a vacation for me too.

[@MB-qx9vn]

As someone who lives a couple hours from Disney and has gone multiple times over my life….NO IT’S NOT WORTH IT! 50k can take you on a fabulous vacay nearly anyplace else.

[@alladreamwedreamed]

Can't judge what people like or find fun to do. If this is what would bring her joy, and her family all wants to do this, why not? Tomorrow isn't promised. Make the memories. Happy retirement.

[@MBoyer-ng6ok]

I like Dave's analysis that the expenditure is the income on the nest egg (not living expenses) and probably once in a lifetime (kids age out of the magical Disney age fast & also probably rare to get all schedules aligned for 20 people). Plus, she has no debt, 7 figure+ net worth, so it is like a family themed "give like no one else" because she lived like no one else theme. Also, Disney Parks should sponsor Ramsey after this!

[@TrollLulCats]

key there is she has a pension that covers her expenditures
