Ramsey is such an out of touch Boomer. Used to listen to him regularly but he’s so smug and has no clue what the ordinary US citizen struggles with. I make $160k/year and bought a house last year. Nothing fancy, just a 1,100 sq ft house in the South East. I spend almost 40% of my income on the house, which Ramsey would totally object to. I’m a high earner and a very average house these days still sucks up an huge portion of my income. The house went from $280k in 2019 to $420k in 2023. That and his little political jab at Biden Bucks when the majority of the $5T printed during Covid was under the Trump administration makes Ramsey so insufferable.

Lack of ambition?? Did you guys miss the part when she said she's an introvert with crippling anxiety and depression? For anyone with mental health issues, maintaining a steady job is ambitious. $700 is approximately 25% of what she earns from actually working, so it's ridiculous to think that that small amount would make her think she has it made and doesn't need to continue working. She said she enjoys her job, it just doesn't bring a large income. I guess you also missed the part where she said she has a degree and is thinking to pursue that again. She may be lacking direction, but apparently she listens to Dave, so I'd say she's working pretty hard to keep it together.

Of the franchises) due to breaking labor laws constantly. They don’t like people working more than 29 hrs a week unless they are a “General Manager”. That is how they legally get out of paying healthcare. They treated workers bad. Bad management. Toxic work environment. They didn’t build up staff. They screw drivers on mileage. There are a lot of legitimate reasons why they can’t find labor, and the short answer is because they are legit a bad employer.

I'm not against a person with a trust fund it would be nice to have, but you can tell when people don't have to worry about money just by the way they talk. I have anxiety and have had depression for the whole 10 years I have worked at my job but I didn't let that get in my way of my goals. I think if anything the pandemic ruined relationships. Allowing the shy and introverts to stay the way they were instead of exploring the real world.

increase your charge for the doggie daycare, tell customers blame it on inflation.

Out of touch. Math or not you pay over half your income in rent or you live in your car. Rents and mortgages keep gooing up. There is no way to save for a down payment 😂 ... Delivering pizzas will not cover a $2000 a month studio shack

Out of touch is not seeking addiitonal income sources (aka side hustles) to get the income up to a point that rent is way under half ...

I don’t understand people who call in and say things like I am in debt worth several tens of thousands of dollars, my Monthly cost of living is several thousand dollars and my Monthly income is below the national poverty level. Now they need Dave to tell them how to pay off their debt, allow them to buy a house, fund their retirement and allow them to live a comfortable life with zero financial stress. Where is the Math class for this equation?

[@eckankar7756]

My grandmother used to call people like her "psychic vampires." They only want to waste your time and attention to draw your energy to validate their delusional self image. She's not looking for an answer she just wants to manipulate others that her self defeating decisions are valid. She's a full time victim. If she were drowning she's gladly pull her rescuer down with her rather than be taken safely to shore. They get a giddy joy setting a trap to get someone to listen to their illusions. She's 1/3 of a century old and an emotional 1st grader. There's no fixing this. Run.

I am trying to be sympathetic to her situation, but at the same time it feels like she uses her mental health as an excuse not to take a leap of faith on anything. All throughout this call there was a lot of excuses.

[@BrandonMinguez]

275 sq ft isn't a lot, but if she brings up her income she could definitely afford something bigger and better.

[@PinkInTheDiamonds]

I'm willing to bet a whole lot of millennials and zillennials chuck 50% of their NET income to rent. This is especially true if you live in a major city. Safety and other factors always come into play. You're more than likely not going to find cheap rent unless you live in a lower cost of living area.

[@laurenjohnson8530]

Most "Zillenials" in large cities have roommates. Older Millenials (like me) are established in our careers and can afford rent on our own. I live in LA and my rent is less than 25% of my income.

Wrong and wrong. Door Dsah / food delivery pays MAYBE $8 to $10 / hour before gas and car costs. Sometimes you get robbed, depending on where you deliver to. $25/hour is fantasy.

[@annberlin5811]

People should get roommates. For 10 years i saved and paid all my debt off and bought a house in 2010

I think a lot of people are okay with roommates they just Struggle to find one that will do their own dishes and we generally respectful and always pay their half on time

[@mikem9612]

You got a point but some roommates are crazy and irresponsible and lots of landlords won't care if anything happens. It's better if they lower the taxes. Single people that are renting pay the most in taxes, insurance and other necessary stuff. Some people are taxed into poverty.
