YOU Control YOU! - Dave Ramsey Rant

[@WhiteBoardFinance]

Self control is a sign of maturity and discipline

[@RealLifeMoney]

When I found out that I control me, my whole life changed. I even stopped getting angry at traffic cause there’s not much you can do about it 😂

[@sendmesugar]

I think of trafic as an analogy for life. Your not stuck in traffic, you are traffic. Until you realize your part of the problem, you will keep deflecting blame onto the "other cars" and nothing will ever change.

[@costco_pizza]

This is so true. I have created budgets and never used them. But now that I have started following Dave, Chris, Rachel, and some others, instead of just budgeting, I am now saving up for baby step 1! I control what I do and am doing so by studying the greats. I have gotten focused and have gotten my husband on board and we are ready to be millionaires! I hope everyone else is doing great on their journeys~

[@raulgolfs]

[@xdevvsyt7264]

Dave is not targeting all liberals. He’s targeting a certain group of liberals. If what he’s saying does not apply to you, then don’t take offense. It’s that simple. He even says right wing nut jobs at one point.

Im a Democrat. I bleed Blue. And i follow Dave Ramsey religiously. I listen to all his shows. He's not changing my political beliefs tho. You can better yourself and still have the government invest in its people. nothing wrong with that.

[@harshitmadan6449]

You think Democrat Politicians make good investments? Citizens invest their money much better than politicians invest taxpayer money. Milton Friedman demonstrated this phenomenon brilliantly.

Figured this out in grade school. That's why I've never had consumer debt and can use credit cards with no issues. Never carried any credit card debt. And only 9yrs. of mortgage debt.

[@teeduck]

But according to Dave you shouldn't even have a credit card, even if you pay in full every month.

Millionaires avoid all stupid debt. But there are millionaires with debt like mortgage debt or rental property debt.

[@julied915]

I have Everyday Millionaires audiobook. I listen in my car on the way to work. It's a 50 minute ride. Its definitely inspiring.

[@delisajohnson1653]

Please don't use divisive political comments. I know many people who are left of center that fully believe in personal responsibility. I also know a few rather right of center that take no responsibility and blame everyone else for their problems. It is a character issue not a political party issue. We don't need any more political poison on the airwaves. Otherwise, I love your show!

[@julied915]

I love the "nut job" remarks😂

[@Marie-cp4yf]

I remember 2 years ago i was confused and no financial direction and it affects all aspects of my life...but now im in control of the things that i am able to control...Praise God for you Dave...your rant is so effective for people who are stupid LOL

[@Guldaar]

One thing that's always confused me is how Dave proclaims America has so many more millionaires than anywhere else in the world however Canada and the U.S. have almost the exact same % of millionaires in their population. I would suspect this is also true for most of the industrialized world (~3-4% of the population).

[@jbsstg4111]

Dave Ramsey for president!

[@saiga12forme88]

I read Chris Hogan's book the Everyday Millionaire and it was well worth the read. Not super sexy but a good map on how to achieve security for your later years by just spending a little time keeping a budget and making smart safe investments.

[@mikemayo4812]

I'm still waiting for that logical argument on how a credit card makes you spend more than a debt card. I always pay the bill in full each month and never pay a dime in interest. I get 1-4% cash back which isn't enough to make me a millionaire, but still, why would I turn away free money?

[@darkhorse4955]

keep looking at his videos. he goes over it. basically you spend.more $ by having the cc available.

[@aviles207]

using a credit card is so much more beneficial since you get cash rewards why pay with cash or debit?

[@mikemayo4812]

@@darkhorse4955 what does he say other than "you don't feel the pain of spending money when using a credit card" which is a lie in my case

[@thanosm7109]

Actually I think the point is that generally people tend to leave their cards unpaid.. so the suggestion of don't use your credit card is an advice to the majority, not you a well organized minority. I would like to hear what are you thoughts on that.

[@mikemayo4812]

@@thanosm7109 People call into his show and tell him that they are responsible with credit and pay it off every month. He still goes off on them.

How do you become a millionaire? Just write a book on how to become a millionaire.....clever trick

[@brandynmayo]

I believe one controls their own destiny, I also voted Bernie. I don’t think it’s out of hand to believe everyone controls their own destiny and the government can boost THEM instead of corporations. I’m a lefty, not crazy, but I hate corporatism (which is real). Good video overall.

[@TheTurdballs420]

The book is a lazy rip off of the millionaire next door, hence the bad reviews on amazon. It’s far from a bestseller

[@cruderschmidt]

It took inspiration from that book, and if you read it, you'd know that :)

[@Jonas-ue6ep]

Jim Smith Yeah, it's a decent read but not one that you'd want to revisit every couple of years. Obviously Dave is gonna hype up and promote this book. For every book that sells, he gets a little piece of the pie.

[@LittleMissRockChalk]

It was great up until the “lefties” comment. I’m very liberal, but I also believe you are in control of almost everything that happens to you. My self-discipline has nothing to do with my liberal sensibilities. Interesting juxtaposition here of Dave making a weirdly hostile political comment and then immediately complaining about people making political comments.

[@JpL4K3]

YellowBrickExpat triggered snowflake, bye bye!

[@LittleMissRockChalk]

J. Lake Does that mean you’re equally triggered by my criticism, though? I don’t feel triggered by Dave’s commentary, especially because I’m already familiar with his political leanings. I just think it was very out of place in an otherwise sensible rant.

[@LittleMissRockChalk]

B-rad - I think people who are replying to me aren’t understanding why I’m criticizing his rant. I’m not offended...it just seemed like an odd addition to a rant about money and behavior.

[@ashleym6765]

Agreed...judging by the rep that he supports I take his advice on that with a grain of salt!

[@laurennicole7098]

Dave Please don’t be political and add comments like “left wing nut jobs.” I find it offensive because I am liberal and more “left wing” even though I grew up in a very conservative republican household, and I listen to you often and when you make comments like that it really turns me off. We want to hear and learn about money, not about your political views.

[@kasken719]

Honest question. How can a liberal support Socialism or condone 55% of Americans not contributing to Federal Tax and expect to be financially independent? Both of those things literally take away your hard earned money and give it to people with less discipline. I'm not trying to be offensive or rhetorical. I've just been raised Conservative most of my life and I'm trying to keep an open mind but some of these ideas just don't make sense to me.

[@Moriningland]

Nope Dave. Nope. We want the same form of handouts and socialism that is given to the rich instead given to the middle class. I love you but look around you, your ideology has failed society. It is social democracy that has saved America in the past, look at the new deal. For a guy who talks constantly about being outrageously generous you really don’t believe in collective societal generosity in the forms of every pitching in to help each other. The problem with Christians is that you only think people who are in your orbit are worthy of help. Your friends, the people YOU go to church with. We believe everyone should get a helping hand when they need it, you don’t need to be a part of our tribe to get it Ps. I love you Dave I just don’t agree with you

[@harshitmadan6449]

America was great before FDR was born. It became the largest economy by the turn of 20th century. That was due to free market capitalism.

Dave's advise:. Drive a ten year old car, eat rice and beans, live in the worst part of town,,never go on vacation, no cable, no cell phone. Save every dime until age 76. Retire a millionaire and somehow enjoy your last ten years of life old and decreped. Ahh, no thanks. I'm in Hawaii right now and when I get home I'm LEASING a brand spanking new car. I'm enjoying life now, I'm not going to live like a vagabond until 76. And I bet I'll be even wealthier than Dave's recommendation on how to invest. I also believe in student loans. That orothopedic surgeon will pay off his $300 K loan in 5 years. But if followed Dave's advise he'd never be a Dr. He'd be making 50k year somewhere, living like a vagabond waiting for 67 to enjoy life.

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

teeduck I guess you missed the part about making more money? You also missed the part about paying off debt faster so you could have more money to save. You also don’t need to be a millionaire to retire. Social Security is only to supplement what people have saved for retirement during their working years.
