Dave’s black talk is killin me 😂

I wonder how much alcohol and drug use three adults with no job and a house seem to find time to do ... Hmmm

[@angelangel4476]

Rachel and Dave is a great balance❤

[@hammerdown3876]

Shes retired. Dave: why? Shes broke. Lmao. Gotta love this guy.

[@SweetThing]

NO, not a fan. There's so many companies and businesses closing.. It's not so easy to just go out there and "get a job". There wasn't a Depression going on when Dave went bankrupt; he had more choices and opportunities!

[@cjhoward409]

@@SweetThingthere’s MORE jobs now because people can work from home, on line. Door dash, Uber… selling crap on eBay. We didn’t have all this back in 1980’s. We couldn’t even look for a job “on line”. We had to buy a newspaper and read thru all the want ads. And that was just local jobs. We didn’t know about jobs in the neighboring town. We would have to drive there to look for jobs !

[@Naymichelle76]

@@SweetThingAdd to that crazy employers and employees (jealous, lazy, gossipers, liars, psychopaths) making it difficult for people on the job with their foolishness. Some may say, just ignore them, but it’s very difficult to focus on your job when people are hell bent on making your life miserable! Every job I quit, was due to a toxic workplace and poor leadership. Why can’t folks just go to work and do their job? 🤨

5:20 "Even if she made $2-3000 a month..." Come on, the reality here is a lot of people don't make that combined. I understand working multiple jobs, but there comes a point to where your physical body can't work 16-18 hours a day. The Ramsey crew has good advice for the most part, but y'all are rich and getting richer from selling to poor people. If you Dave didn't know the people he knows he probably would never have made the bounce back that he did when he had to file bankruptcy. His name was already well known in the industry he was in at the time and he was able to bounce back because of that. I'm not saying that people gave him anything, he just knew who to go to help him dig hisself out of a massive hole. Side hustles are hard to do especially if you have a family that you love to be around. You go to work for 8 hours a day and then he expects you to work another full time job on top of that at night and on the weekends. When are you supposed to spend time with your family? Is mental health not something Dave puts thought into when he is talking to people the way he talks to them sometimes? Here's an Idea, lets take Daves salary away and make him go get a job making $20/ hr, a piece of crap car and give him $200k in debt to payoff. Let's see how much work he would be willing to put in in order to get it paid off. This isn't the 1990's anymore. Everything has gone up except for peoples salary. The past 4 years have been the worst in my opinion. Sorry for the rant, but I feel like it needed said...

[@buckeyedav1]

The wife? Even without a degree she could be doing something like a Dispatch Operator for the police dept they'd love to have her. Son? Goodwill is always hiring and need strong young men to carry furniture.. my nephew is 24 he's been working f/t staarted at $13 a hour now is a Asst Mgr $17.00 a hour, Sheetz my niece works for them started at $17 a hour, now a shift Manager 2 years later $21.00 a hour with full benefits. Granma? Thats bit harder with age discrimination but I've seen older ladies working at Walmart, Krogers and Sam's putting up clothes and stocking the aisles. Anna In Ohio

[@random-nz7dy]

This is why Dave is great. He sensed the BS excuses coming and wouldn't let it go. That sounds like a nice guy but your typical excuse machine Always just vaguely "trying to do xyz", vague "in the pipeline" goals, shifting from one goal to anorher to avoid moving forward.

[@ianstrying76]

21 at 16 an hour is insane. there’s so much to do out there & if that’s what you settle for without even doing 40 hours a week shows you don’t want anything in life.

[@alluringbliss4165]

I am from the West Indies, it’s a responsibility to take care of your parents if they can’t take care of themselves. Although I believe in putting them in a home, still have to financially support them.

[@singerjo5791]

That is not the expectation in the US. Most of us try to help with our parents and not burden our kids.

My family is Haitian and I can’t imagine throwing my parents out.

What is crazy is the body needs work (exercise). I retired from Army after 20 years and decided no work or exercise. Got back and leg pain. Wondered why. Got work and exercise. Both pains went away l. Plus slept longer and deeper.

[@mikemcconeghy4658]

I feel for this guy. He wants to take care of his family, but he's coming up short. Dave makes it sound easy to tell everyone else to get to work, but I can see how a man might hate to ask for help.

[@elliebellie7816]

I hear him making a lot of excuses as to why none of them can work. All the fast food places need people to work the early morning shift. Yes, you have to get up early but in my neighborhood it pays about $13 per hour to start. Which is a lot better than "trying" to do nothing. Ever heard of Uber or Lyft? Bagging groceries at Save-A-Lot? I bet the local jail/prison is hiring. Hospitals always need help. And mother-in-law can open a small day care right there in the home that should bring in enough to cover her share of expenses.

[@Thedogshousegarden]

Can't believe everyone in that household is ok with him carrying the finacial burden on his own!

[@NoName-jm4ev]

Part time job will make you $2,000 a month, three additional incomes of three adults is $6,000 a month after all the bills are paid from your income. Yeah you need to man up and be the man of the house. My daughter is turning 14 in two months and she will have s job the same day. We already talked to her about it and prepped her and she is ready. It has nothing to do with money but one she will learn responsibilities and two she will make her own money. There is none of this I wanna be a stay at home mom crap in my house.

[@terrellprice8013]

Being debt free is a mental endeavor. I grew in the backwoods of Vicksburg, MS in the 1940’s. Both of my parents died before my 10th birthday. I was raised by my grandmother until Mr 14th birthday. I went to live with a friend’s family, graduated from high school and college all on my dime. I never had anyone to advise me or mentor me but I had the foresight to see the current day and 20 years down the road. I invested with Warren Buffett 25 years ago and now at 82 financial trauma is not apart of my life. Life is simple. Human emotions rather than logic and rational decisions make people stupid, irrational and poor. No palms up allowed. If you can make an illogical decision you deserve the wrath forthcoming.

[@FortuneSeek3rz]

Human emotions can also be what gets you up off your butt. Plus you lived in an area that had a low cost of living.

Some men are suffering too oo. This man is carrying all the burden while his wife who has 100 thousand dollars in student loans sits and does nothing. Four adults in the home and he has to work full time, drive Uber and do door dash. I want to feel sorry for him but again I know some men, by the time the wife starts to work and money starts coming in, they start carrying girls and remember they are polygamous in nature. To your wife, get up and work and help this man, help yourself. You live in a country where there are consequences for men who cheat and abuse their wives. Get up and go to work. You got a masters degree to sit and put all the responsibilities on your husband? When frustration takes over and your husband starts hanging with men who cheat on their wives, go to the beer parlor and meet a blonde hair, blue eyes, well your marriage is done. This man is a good man to me. I hope he does not change when you start working and start bringing in money.

Simple formula, don’t spend more than you bring in. Tackle high interest debt first. Move on to next highest interest charge then. Live frugally. Repeat, rinse, rewash.

[@pattimartin859]

Everyone gets to work !!! That's correct. ALL. the monies go into one pot to pay the bills. If you live there, you get to help. Turn off the TV, cxl the cable, pull the carpets in and get busy.
