    Dave Ramsey is the reason my wife and I got out of our $57k of debt in 10months. Now we're 25 & 26 with a $15k emergency fund, a $57k home down payment, $20k in retirement, and $14k in our HSA's, and two paid for cars (2011 Subaru Outback, and a 2007 Honda Accord). We've also been able to give more than we've ever thought we could. (We make $110k/ year). We started 27 months ago. Our life has changed. Thank you for everything you do Dave Ramsey!
    *Edit 8/24/2021*
    It's been 45month since we've started the "Dave Ramsey Plan". Since we started, we've paid off $57k in debt, saved $15k for a fully funded emergency fund, saved $252K for a home down payment, have $55k in retirement, and $27k in our HSAs. We're 27 & 26. We still drive the same old cars.

Then I heard Dave and he transformed my way of thinking. I went from making $18k a year to making six figures in a short 2 years. I went from living in the bronx NY to the suburbs of NY.

I'm currently in trade school for hvac to improve my situation but even when I'm done 6 figures ain't gonna happen even in 10 yrs unless it involves bonuses from sales, or starting my own business which is scary and i don't think I'm cut out for due to the bureaucracy and red tape and legal crap involved.

      @@BoriPR82 cool. Yeah I'm not in New York so there's very few elevators where i live, or where i used to live, or anywhere I'd want to live lol. But that's awesome. There's 2 unions for hvac ppl, neither of which is necessarily needed to make top dollar for the field but they can certainly help, and I'm considering them. I'd say 50-75k is more the norm for 5-10 yrs in hvac in most places but I've certainly heard of 6 figures it's just not that common and i don't wanta bunch of overtime. I care a lot more about maximizing my hourly rate than maximizing my total income. The unions are great when it comes to benefits i think though. Upon graduating here one would be lucky to make more than 14-16 an hour unfortunately, but it should go up pretty quickly from there, it's one of the most needed professions so once you have some experience of they won't pay you well you can easily switch companies. I'm looking at commercial refrigeration but not sure.

    Mr. Ramsey, you saved my life, my marriage, my kids.
    I come from humble beginnings. My parents loved me deeply and I in return but they are financially illiterate and so was I. Through your teachings and scoldings, I have learned to discipline myself and take control of my life. Although I am not wealthy, I do have a roof over my head, modest car, and plenty of food to feed my wife and kids with more to spare.
    If you ever find yourself in western NC and you would like a nice couch to sleep on, cold beer to drink, warm food to eat, and a safe place to relax....My home is open to you and anyone you bring. No questions asked and payment would be an insult.
    Thank you for everything you do and have done and will do. May God bless you and yours.

Financial success isn't something you have just because you have money, it is a mindset, a work ethic, a reputation, it is discipline, it is intelligence, it is many traits that add up to success. If you choose to be one of the crabs in the bucket; that is on you.

    One thing that I thought about is how unfortunate it is that Fed workers missed just one paycheck and they were in a financial crisis. More people need to learn to live below their means, always have 3-6 months of savings in case something out of your control comes up and have more than one income coming in, especially if your main source of income is controlled by a boss. Dave is an American treasure and more people need to listed to him!

      I heard that too. Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin both calculated how long the federal employees have been working without pay, and if you exclude holidays and weekends, it's 2 paychecks, max. The left-wing media is telling us horror stories about these poor folks having to sell their kids' toys or pawn grandma's wedding ring to get by. I wonder, what are they doing if 2 delayed paychecks puts them that far in the hole? I manage a gas station overnights and my husband is a kitchen supervisor at a family restaurant. We have a 14 month-old. We don't live paycheck to paycheck. I feel bad for these people, but I also wonder, are they living way beyond their means? They had ZERO saved up? Do they drive a Mercedes instead of a Toyota, go out to eat 3 times a week, go to Starbucks every morning instead of buying a coffee maker and making their own drinks?

      There were plenty of resources to help the federal workers that did not receive paychecks and they have been paid the days that most didn't even work. Only essential employees were required to still work during shutdown. All federal employees can be affected by government shutdowns and it is always discussed and known that you should have 3 months of saving to live on. They were used by the democrats as pawns, because otherwise, they had no other standing.

      Jeffrey Black, of course it's ideological. And neither I nor Mr. Ramsey is saying it would actually work. It's just a utopian dream based on people being more noble than they actually are. But at least the idea is based on a moral premise, unlike the idea of forcing people to be "charitable" through mandated governmental programs.

      ​@@cphine So no examples, then? I figured... Thanks for proving my point. Again. Your tax experiment was recently attempted in Kansas. Guess what, it failed miserably. And they're still trying to recover. Concentration of power is the problem - not government. And in America, we openly allow elected officials to be bought and paid for by narrow corporate interests through lobbying (called bribery in every other country). If you believe that businesses should be allowed to operate in any way they choose despite having negative consequences to the public good, then you're nothing more than a useful idiot. Funny you mention examples of fascistic governments ruining economies, bc I can point to numerous examples of thriving, healthy societies who efficiently use government resources to provide essential utilitarian services to their people and where crime, mental illness and disease are much lower than the US and the people are vastly more educated. They exist today. I've also traveled a lot. I've lived in Kenya, Angola, Singapore, South Korea, France, and Brazil, as well as visited at least 15 other countries. The countries I would definitely not want to live in are the ones that don't heavily invest in education/healthcare. There is high poverty and crime. You conservatives/libertarians who think taxation is theft are really fucking dumb.

He is always in a teacher role. Here he is with an equal and it makes for awesome conversation!! Love that him/Ben are crossing lines and reaching more people!! Great job you two!
