There is a contract. It’s called detrimental reliance. Nate agreed to pay for the ticket. The parents relied on this agreement and fronted the money. Therefore Nate owes the money.

[@jimmymcgill6778]

He agreed to go before they bought it.

[@stevenporter863]

He was just looking for Dave to give him permission to go back on his word. Sorry, he bought a ticket. A few bucks or his integrity. Hmmm....

[@tcgtpl]

Caller should go & enjoy the vacation. Use it as motivation during his journey to pay off debt, as in his next vacation will be when he’s debt free & will pay for it on his own.

[@bebop504]

Agree!

[@superblump87]

No kidding. Getting out of debt is much easier when free vacations are sprinkled in along the way.

[@PCKA1987]

I notice Dave has more of an encouraging, sensitive way of responding lately. Thanks for your grace with these callers, Dave. It is strengthening to the listeners too.

[@cutenobi]

I have noticed that he’s minimized the name calling that made him popular. I’m glad he’s still straightforward without being as rude.

[@robloxvids2233]

Are you serious? He was a complete asshole here for no reason. Dear Lord if I was Jade I'd honestly be embarrassed to sit aside Dave while he bullies his callers.

[@trebmaster]

Yes. More of this and less of "You need to get your dumb butt back to stupid town!"

[@BrianaBudgets]

You agreed to it therefore you owe them. I like Jade snuck in that “stupid tax.”😂👏🏼

[@Cathy-xi8cb]

Agreed; the guy has to pay the stupid tax. He is gonna be a pain on this trip, and that will end the relationship shortly.

[@Carmen0777]

Pay for it dude 😂

[@billmelater6470]

The fortunate side is he's startes his road to recovery and feels this pain. The unfortunate side is he agreed to this behorehand with nothing having been hidden from him.

[@1kSedrick]

Dave said “that’s tough” 🤣🤣

[@neilsmith9066]

He is correct

[@tylersanders2388]

I actually recently had a similar situation. I was offered a trip that I had to pay my own way for and I was saving hard for a house. I declined and now that I own a home I go on vacation whenever I want

[@xlerb2286]

I agree with working extra hours to build up a cushion or pay down debt. But man that would be hard to do at around 60. I'm glad I'm in a good place and fingers crossed I stay there.

[@78town]

2 weeks later Dave will get a call saying “so my daughters boyfriend agreed to pay us back for a ticket, but now he’s left us with the bill because he changed his mind”

[@knockel18]

😂

[@Sky-wakka]

My brother would always buy us tickets to music festivals for christmas but I finally had to tell him I'm not going and to stop buying these for me because they just cost way too much money even if the ticket is covered

[@calvintynes1879]

This is so painful to hear. Can’t believe he actually called in to ask the first question.

[@adamseidel9780]

Nate, stop being a slug. Trying to back out of commitments. Sound annoyed to work more. Sound annoyed to not have a second car. Accept adulthood and your commitments to it.

[@patty109109]

Nate is not a person of principle. You don’t even consider stiffing people like this.

[@drewdelaney4166]

You taking it all wrong. He’s growing and finding himself hence why he called.

[@TheSoulCrisis]

Having regret doesn’t mean you lack character lol, the fact that he called in shows character.

[@luvtotrade2009]

if they paid through southwest then they can cancel and have that credited to their account with no expiration

[@anilbeharry]

Great advise for this guy. Definitely great things in store for him.

[@tracygaluszynski1868]

Yea right. Go from $45K to $75K. OK. Dave's in Fantasyland.

[@LegalMind-ds4wr]

Not sure about that. He doesn’t sound like the brightest tool in the shed.

[@JakeSpradlin2]

Yes definitely go! Don’t miss out on this kind of experience

[@Vicos]

Nate needs to read a book on ethics and personal responsibility.

[@RandomVids519]

Is this guy new to life my god buddy😂

[@YanilleCastillo]

Oh I loved this one .❤️👍 great show as always

[@CurieBohr]

You already committed to the trip. Don’t go back on your word. Going forward, be smart

[@newguyguy2578]

Probably was 'emotionally pressured". But yes he did agree to it.

[@crow-vz5lx]

The caller reminds me of a guy that would go hail a taxi cab drive all around town and skip out on the fair

[@nicorsar]

Everyone who has commented is spot on. 1) you don't welch on a deal (you don't even think about it!). 2) gifts that cost YOU money aren't that great of gifts. And for people who argue with this second point - put yourself in this situation; you're trying to get yourself together, and you are taking on more debt to go on a vacation, and so you're at best mixed about it; and the girlfriends parents are going to be expecting a big thank you for your generosity. That is tough. If you've never gotten a 'gift' that cost you money you wouldn't have spent otherwise, you have no idea how that feels. I have and at best you're mixed.

[@ginoturano6821]

All this over 600 WTF

"I have another quick question." Uh oh 😂 There's some red flags with this caller

Don't some companies give leeway? I know not all companies do that, but some of them do, right?

[@BabyGators]

@@marchosch3876 many do, but most don’t understand the tax implications of it. It becomes an employee benefit at that point and they better tax it correctly, or Uncle Sam will come knocking hard.

[@weaselton]

When Dave tells a guy to pay up in baby step 1, you know he means it. But this can easily be recovered from.

[@linuxsurfer2002]

This is why you should do your best to collect the money upfront, or have the person pay for their own ticket. This type of thing happens. He would have probably thought it through more if he had paid for it himself.

[@jaredhenderson5670]

This conversation is so funny. It’s like he is having to beg a guy to go on a nice vacation for cheaper than he ever could if he had to pay for it all. By the tone of the whole conversation you would think the guy committed to do something that is not fun and didn’t want to follow through with it.

[@om617yota8]

You might have put your finger on the real reason for this call. He may have agreed to something he doesn't want to do, and be looking for a legit way out of it. Spending time with family isn't my idea of a good time either, most definitely not a vacation.

[@jaredhenderson5670]

It’s just funny to hear Dave tell the guy to stick with his commitment as if the commitment was a hard thing to do. For instance, like the guy hypothetically agreed to cut his girlfriend’s parents yard for free for a year and now he wants to back out or something. Haha this guy is almost acting like going on a vacation is a chore.

[@om617yota8]

​@@jaredhenderson5670 Might not be a vacation to him.

David J. Ramsey does not endorse pre-marital relations. He does endorse companies that claim to get people out of timeshares, though.

[@jo4285]

It’s a steal !

[@JDAfrica]

Likely it’s a vacation with her parents. And I guarantee the gift came with 1 ticket, and if he wanted to join them he just had to buy his own ticket

Bro, why are you going on a family vacation with your girlfriend's family. She is NOT your wife and they are NOT your in-laws.

[@djpuplex]

Stay single. Its much cheaper. Hookup if you can but girlfriends are very expensive.

[@acsentu8]

Girl friend's parents are very expensive. I agree to stay single so NOBODY but God controls your life.

[@TheTopProgrammer]

Time = money

[@cathyosullivan718]

I missed the beginning of the call but if he doesn’t want to go, wouldn’t the parents lose money on the tickets?

[@emmib1388]

because now he started the baby steps and does not want to use the $$ towards tickets rather than his starter EF, and it is not his parent's but rather girlfriend's parents

[@robr268]

It shocks the heck out of me how people who trying get out of debt and still working 40hrs 😂 like bro doordash and bring in a extra 1000 a month and you good. Why people dont like to work?

[@philipgerry5228]

Wake up Nate! Pay attention I the future.

[@BlackExcellenceProductions]

He better grow a back bone and let them all know that after that trip he’s locking in on his financial goals and WILL NOT be available for any trips any time soon. Setting boundaries with in-laws early is critical!

[@superblump87]

He agreed to pay for the flight. Pay for the tickets and enjoy the free Key West vacation. What's the problem?

[@robr268]

The problem is he isn't working. Dude is working 40hrs a week living on beans and rice without getting extra income.

[@tracygaluszynski1868]

Its what? A few hundred? Big deal.

[@v.m.4453]

You can just reimburse them and not go. Just fyi

[@harrys-hit-videos]

If the trip is already paid for why would he not go on it...

[@1981lashlarue]

What would the point of that be?

[@JDAfrica]

@@harrys-hit-videosimply because you spend way more on holiday than you do at home (meals out, little extras here and there, tips, cocktails at the pool)…. Also, if he stayed back, he could pickup extra shifts or work and recover the cost he paid. But, likely his girlfriend would dump him and find someone new in Key West.

Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.

[@danielrichter465]

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

Boils down to this. Its not a good idea for parents to "interfere" with bf/gf relationships by giving expensive gifts. In this case, half gifts. It hurts a mans ego if he feels like he cant live up and match their effort. Also, Ive learned throughout my life that men start having one foot out the door when the woman and her family start making all the pursuits. It is more healthy to take family trips when you are married...not dating.
