This Is What's Stopping You From Becoming Rich | January 10, 2024

I did my own quiet at-home debt free scream yesterday when I made my final student loan payment. I am debt free now for the first time in my entire adult life, thanks to Ramsey.

I love listening to Dave. I’ve been listening to him for many, many years. Did things his way, worked so hard to get out of debt and have been for a long time. There is no amount of money that can give you freedom like being debt free. I couldn’t thank Dave enough for caring so much for human beings in wanting us to experience the freedom of being debt free. Thanks Dave. I still listen every day to stay on track.❤️

[@Gemini4Ever]

I personally can't be with someone who doesn't have ambition! My ex was like that and it was annoying that I'm working hard to strive for better and he wanted to stay the same. He was comfortable and I was not. At the time, he was better with money than I was. He was very frugal and I was the spender. Fast forward 6 years, we had broken up and I have become very frugal mainly due to the pandemic that woke me up! When it started, the threat of me living in my car because I didn't have the funds to sustain myself while we were on shut down really started me on this path of paying off debt, saving an emergency fund, and investing for my retirement years. I am grateful that I went through that experience because it's setting off on a new path where I feel safe and secured about being smart about money.

[@kristinehennix1818]

The lady who was a lawyer and wanted to stay home with her children, she could work 1 year yet and just use her money to pay on the student loan only and get that paid off in total. That way you pay off the debt and experience just living on your husband’s income. That would help see if the one income home works for you and your family.

To Vincent-we have a high net worth and only owed about $70k on our house when all of our holding were frozen when they arrested Allen Stanford. Other than this, we had no other debt but had one child in college and one in med school with tuition coming due soon. We only had access to what was in our checking account and had no idea how much we would lose or how long we could not access our investments. We were paying aggressively on our mortgage so what we owed was “chump change” but I sure would have had a lot less fear if we had pais it all off when we did have the cash to do so. Paying it off was the 1st thing we did when they released our accounts.

I have so much respect for Dave. Just wanted to bring in Malachi - God does talk about blessing and being protected financially by God when we tithe too. Malachi 3:8-12 “In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse-your whole nation-because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

Pick a percentage of your income or dollar amount per month you want to give and then either give that entire amount to a cause you are passionate about or break it down into categories (for example 1/3 to charity, 1/3 to someone in need, 1/3 to nice acts for loved ones). I like to take people out to lunch so that’s one thing I like to do. You could donate to the humane society if you are a pet lover. Just put it in your budget and then figure out how you want to allocate that. Also, even if you don’t go to church if you know someone who does you could donate to their church bc they do use those funds to help people in need and do good in the community.

Rachel is easily my favorite host but the response to that second question is infuriating. Literally last week she and Ken got a call from a man saying his kids are grown and he wants his 50 year old stay at home wife to work and Rachel said “if you can afford to live on your salary she deserves to not work”. So basically the same scenario except when it’s a man (who is actually working) she says he’s lazy but when it’s a woman she deserves to not work ?

Please let me know if I’m wrong and she did say that though!

Hmmm maybe because men and women are different and women do A LOT of unpaid work at home that men simply don’t do at the same level. What a pathetic comment.

@@sweetbabysuncle3227 And why is that? And, by the way, women also work - I think you're talking about being employed outside the home. All women need to be able to take care of themselves with education and skills. No one knows what nasty curves life can throw at a family, especially in these uncertain and changing times.

Nicole - there are a good deal of jobs for attorneys that are less stressful for attorneys - choose those. The issue for you may be what your practice demands and expects - you may well need to do something on your own for a while rather than be part of a high-pressure practice. Real estate and focusing on estate planning are two areas that are less stressful and will certainly be in demand in the next decades as boomers downsize and also re-visit their estate plans.

As a real estate lawyer for over 30 years I can tell you that you are sadly mistaken. Real estate law is extremely stressful with short deadlines and clients with unrealistic expectations. This area has a great deal of responsibility and is an area of practice with the highest rate of claims against lawyers by clients.

[@Trustbutverify2651]

@@laurabitnerchoi873 I did not say it was not stressful and I did not say there were not short deadlines. But you are speaking about mortgage and other property buying and selling real estate law. There are other areas of real estate such as writing Deeds of Gifts of property parcels, writing up easements, etc. that are not as time sensitive. I should have been more clear that I was not talking about property sales. She was looking for something that she could do more part-time and could perhaps work on the less stressful aspects part-time for another attorney just to not drop out entirely while she has young children. There are also many templates now available that have all the elements for leases, etc. Admittedly property sales are very stressful!

Bethany - maybe this is a wife who wants a more expensive lifestyle than the husband does. What would people think if this situation were reversed and the husband was earning $180,000 and the wife earned $30,000 and didn't have any interest in earning more? Would that be o.k.? Maybe a high-earning husband would be fearful that if something happened to him that the family would lose everything, too. What else is he doing to support everything the family is doing - housework, raising the kids, etc? Another case in which we need to hear both sides.

[@BeeDee-qs9so]

I really don’t like these calls because it’s not as if the husband was making $100,000 or 200,000 when she met him. Fifteen years and suddenly she’s annoyed that he’s not ambitious? Whatever happened to Contentment? Maybe he’s the kind of guy who is perfectly at peace with where he is in his life! It’s really not fair to put this on him. And I agree - what if the roles were reversed and it was the wife who was making a smaller salary while the husband was busting it - That’s more what we’re used to hearing about.

[@oregoncoastmama3004]

I was thinking the same thing. Their advice is to have enough life insurance or disability to cover the loss of the high income earners salary.

I did the best I could- went to college in my 20’s, but not for a sensible degree. I got a late start investing. I just didn’t know until I knew.

It’s obvious this man walks with God to the best of his knowledge and ability. Always gives sound Biblical advice. On the tithe comment…Malachi 3:8-12 states that blessings and curses are connected to tithe because it belongs to God. To not give is considered robbery of God. And, no….God does not need our money, but the Biblical principal is that we give 1/10 of our income because it does not belong to us. That Scripture also mentions that robbery occurs by withholding tithes AND offerings. So generosity, the free will offering component (a principle outlined in the building of the earthly sanctuary in Exodus 36), is in addition to tithe.

She is happy for her job and she helps me care for the house and she's a great mom. She's happy for her job and enjoys it so I'm happy for her. Why can't that woman just be happy to have a good man.

Because man is the bread winner?he brings the bacon home ?head of his home?

[@Maxine_Dazzles]

Because men and women are designed by our Creator genetically different. Women are not designed to hustle for both her and her man. It wears out a woman a lot more. She can hold it down financially for a season or two if the husband's finances dip but on average a woman is going to need close to her financial equal.

[@kiddorot3848]

Honestly, I agree. Having a good husband is priceless. You shouldn't be able to buy your wife's respect by making more money. Of course money is important, but if you're doing fine as is, there's no need for a husband to give up a job he loves just for status or something like that. It's really messed up, but not every woman thinks that way.

[@kiddorot3848]

​@maxinecoleman8502 Where does it say in the bible that a woman needs her financial equal? Or that she tires more easily from work? Proverbs 31 says this: ‭‭Proverbs 31:16-18 NIV‬‬ [16] She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. [17] She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. [18] She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. This describes a woman's work. It also says she des not eat the bread of idleness, meaning a woman shouldn't sit around all day doing nothing.

15:00 Going back to that whole life insurance thing, do you have an article or some literature on it?

[@lyndahammel9502]

Google it. Suzee Orman does like whole life insurance either. Term is less expensive for a larger benefit if the person insured dies. Take the difference in premium and invest in a good mutual fund. Or save it for a house or college or to pay off debt, etc.

[@brookelondon8029]

I don't remember the title of the series, but they have done tutorials, I guess you could call them, on a variety of subjects and there was one on why whole life is so lousy. Basically, you pay a very high price every month, the first two years they keep all that money and you don't have any benefits from it if anything were to happen. The only pay you a very small percentage of interest and they keep the rest. For example we're earning about 10 to 12% annually on our mutual funds and so are the whole life people but they're only going to give you 2% of it. And there are fees involved over the years so you spend money on that and when you pass, you may get back what you put in but he has said that if you had invested that amount in good mutual funds you'd end up with an enormous amount of money more.

tithing doesn't have to be to a church right.? a charity for people or animals or environment?

[@brookelondon8029]

The word tithing comes from the Bible and so that's the context he uses it in. But he doesn't say that you must. He just wants you to be debt-free so that you can be generous. I have a certain amount of money per month that I like to give away or donate. I can't always walk my cart back to the cart corral So I let the one who retrieves the carts know that I will be leaving my car next to the car and I give them a dollar. They're happy and I'm happy.

Why are men behind in incomes. Multiple callers on this show was about the wife making 3x what the husband makes. A NP making 180k while the husband makes 30k a year a husband making 40k when the wife is getting ready to make 115k a year this is shameful

Dave recommends Mutual Funds, and talking with a Smart Investor Pro

[@brookelondon8029]

Single stocks are a risk. If you invest in mutual funds, you're spreading your investment over maybe 200 different companies. Dave is basically a billionaire and he has never bought single stocks. Just the four types of mutual funds that he recommends. However, he does say that if you have millions of dollars, investing 10% of it into risky investments like single stocks is OK because you could afford to lose it. A friend had a half million in her company stock and lost it in two days when the company went bankrupt.
