[@jr85009]

Mr. Ramsey, I am a single grandmother raising a granddaughter and on 8-12-2019 I became completely debt free! I still can’t believe it. I just wanted to share and hopefully encourage others that it can be done. I wish more people listened to you

[@RestaurantManager101]

[@KayJay79]

Congrats on your achievement! You are setting an amazing example for your granddaughter...WAY TO GO!

[@batirtzeurkiaga4973]

Well deserved ma'am!!!!

[@alidanner2885]

Well done, Jean! Please stay the course and may God continue to bless you and your granddaughter! My encouragement to you is to keep God first; follow Dave’s “7 Baby Steps” consistently; have a written budget every month; and meet with a certified financial planner with the “heart of a teacher” EVERY year-that will keep you focused and on track! Again, God’s continued blessings upon you!

"Make sure you're successful before you spend all your time admiring other people's success." ~Dave Ramsey

[@sarahpalintellsajoke]

He says to his legions of fans who are here because we admire his success.

[@TheLizardKing1967]

True

[@missybe3238]

@@sarahpalintellsajoke No one here spends their time admiring his success. People come here to learn things and get motivation for their debt free journey.

[@sarahpalintellsajoke]

@@missybe3238 Right...because they admire his success. Not trying to be difficult, but it's fact. Unless Ramsey was a failure, and his videos were telling us how to avoid his disasters, but that's not the case. We know he's an intelligent, successful person, and we want to follow his lead. I'm not saying we just sit around, doing nothing, coveting his wealth. I'm saying because we admire his success, we desire his advice.

[@7resist7tyranny7]

misplacednewyawker Also I think, that you miss the main point Dave's trying to make. He's talking to the individual who struggles to make a change because theyre so busy pointing fingers, blaming the people around them and looking at all the problems going on that they forget to look at themselves and wonder if the problem perhaps is within themselves. Hes not saying that politics dont matter or affect us all. Did you even bother watching the entire video? It's not about politics or sports or entertainment, hes talking about distractions keeping you from being successful in your own personal life.

If you don't want the government to "take your money against your will". Then pay out of pocket for every time your garbage gets collected, to maintain every sidewalk you walk on, every park you frequent, every stoplight you cross, every school your child attends from kindergarten! Everytime you get sick, or drive on a road. Always pay daycare IN FULL. Everytime you go to a restaurant to make sure that the food is safe, community events, rec centers etc. oh yeah, and you need to pay someone to administer all of this because keeping track of it yourself is just too much work. I'd rather pay the government some of "my money" to do this for "me" anyday. Why should the government send you money?
