This is Dave's show. This is the way he is. If callers or listeners don't like his abruptness, don't call in or don't listen. Dave is old school and People need that firmness. Thats what's wrong with the world today. Always getting their feelings hurt. Keep doing what you're doing Dave. And his cohost knows how he is. If they don't like it, quit!

[@frankportigiano1910]

I refinanced twice. The first time we went from a 6% to a 4.25% the 2nd time we got it down to 2.875%. I dont believe i will ever have to refinance again

Dave Ramsey the best of the best millionaire coach ...love you Dave Ramsey ..very pragmatic very systematic in all his advice ..thank you for the 7 baby steps Methodology...God bless you Dave Ramsey ,Rachael Cruze and also erstwhile Ramsey personality Chris Hogan

[@zactyson4965]

ya'll need to do some conversations where you revisit callers, the last guy with the side hustle made me think of this, the advice is all good and great but not knowing how it turns out kinda defeats the point, especially on ones like this, where there is a big gray area and it could go different ways. love the content by the way

[@brookelondon8029]

One show week at a specific time I'd like to hear a follow up call. I have to laugh when Dave says to somebody, "I know you're not gonna follow my advice but this is what you should do." I often wonder what they did

[@deb9806]

I think they must have thought of that, but maybe the results weren't so great or hard to prove. For instance I've read on just a few sites, people who did debt free scream and didn't give up credit cards and another who was honest and they wouldn't let him so matter how great his story. One got through the callers and when he said he had one more emergency that outdid his savings (comfort) he was irritated but already congratulated the guy. I know with makeover shows for makeup./lifestyle and tiny house shows, they found that wasn't a good idea. It's better to let people stay with the original high of the moment.

[@taitruong968]

Agree but it’s up to the caller to call back otherwise it feels weird. Because a lot of time I see is their other social psychosocial issue at hand and because they know what to do doesnt mean they will do it 😂.

I would like Dave sometimes to ask deeper questions instead of jumping to conclusions. I bet in Tabithas situation the guy is not even investing. He just feels like paying on debt is taking away from his daily lifestyle. Im around alot of coworkers who refuse to get out of debt not because they have a clue about investing and building wealth but because its hard and i wanna go out to eat and on vacation now!

Yep, need to refinance. So more fees in the thousands

Yes that is true for FHA loans prior to 2013. Otherwise newer loan would need to refinance to Conventional and have 20% equity of Loan to original value to drop PMI.

The Christian tells me they are opposed to abortion because life begins at conception , ok . What happens to all the fertilized eggs ( conceived ) human lives ? that are not selected for implantation into the uterus ? The IVF process does not fertilize ( conceive ) only one egg , but they do only implant the most viable human baby . What happens to those not selected human babies ? 🤔

[@naomiemoore5725]

Good question. Have you performed any research on your own? Mr. Ramsey may not be the correct platform for your request. Sperm banks all have rules that one must abide by. And some may not align with your Christian values. Start digging and see what you find. It is easy enough to do if one knows how to perform research on line. Good luck to you.

The guy at 1:23 in said his credit score is 673 and wouldn't be able to get a mortgage and Dave agrees. So if Dave always says not to have credit cards or loans, how are you supposed to get a higher credit score? Make it make sense.

[@amireallythatgrumpy6508]

You're not supposed to have a credit score at all.

[@sXePunkV2]

You have a zero credit score and get a mortgage through Manual Underwriting

[@Truckerdaddy]

Minimum required credit score for a conventional mortgage is 640. But there are programs for first time home buyers and low credit home buyers. Or as one person said Manual Underwriting is a way to go. Another way to do it is Owner finance which is what I did. I rented my house for 3.5yrs and pitched the idea of me buying it to my landlord. They accepted. My rent went from $750 a month to $819 a month for 10yrs. Plus there's a 3nd house on the property that had tenants that got transferred to me. I collect $550 a month from them. My situation is nowhere near typical and I know that. But there are so many ways to buy a home, folks just don't want to do the extra leg work.

[@beckygeer6480]

Dave doesn't want you to care about credit score, he wants no score, undetectable.

[@brookelondon8029]

I remember him saying that when you have "no credit score" it's not actually a zero. It's just that you haven't had any debt for two years. Then they look at your income how long you've had your job, and other things to do manual underwriting.

Spending 50k on a trip with a million dollar net worth is not responsible. It’s way too much as a % of the net worth.

Responsible is getting a million dollar net worth and keeping it and she is. She isn’t dipping below a million she is using growth which is responsible. If she wants to spend her excess money that she will never use all of in her life to take a trip that is responsible.
