      I was never taught the world is unfair, but I was told the world doesn't revolve around me and my opinions don't amount to statement of fact. I wasn't taught everyone was a racist, I was taught about racism, I did experience racism here and there by both black and whites ( being interracial you get that sometimes). My worldviews is overall still positive. I don't care what bigots do, as long as they aren't signing my paycheck, and even if they are they are still paying me, so I still don't care. Not everyone born in the 80s or are of the millennial generation are self absorbed trophy seeking entitled spoiled brats. As a matter of fact, LOL millennial have to be crafty in order to make ends meet as we are more in debt from school loans, which has nothing to do with being taught about the world being unfair and full of racists. Its all good, most people are trying to ignore bigots and racists and become successful. Don't let the media hype make you believe that all liberal thinking people think bout is avocado toast, racist and unfair world. That is far from true. I like Dave and he's a conservative. I value his opinion because he's successful!

Well you know, I am a business major, I gotta maintain the image.

    It's hard when you've found this path and are following with great results, yet those around you have no interest in bettering their finances or future. All I can do is set the example and lead if asked to do so, but folks are too busy buying coffee out every day and then complaining they can't pay their electric bill to consider it. Like Dave would say, "too broke to pay attention". It's all up to them, but it's hard when you've learned better and want better for them as well.

    Thank you Dave!!!!! I have seen several of your videos now, but this one struck a nerve. When you talk about changing your family tree and how your 5th grandson is covered! That’s a beautiful statement that I WILL say one day. After the video finished, we paid off two credit cards to the tune of 1k and cut them up on the spot! Two more cards to go. Thank you sir!! GOD Bless!!

    My kids already know that all they get is 4% of $3.6M a year for the rest of their life, their kids life, so on and so forth. i am building at 8% so the other 4% continues to grow and $3.6M will eventually be $3.7, 3.8, 3.9 etc. They know better. The both have degrees, no student loans. Momma paid it all. CHANGING THE FAMILY TREE!

    You saved me Dave. I almost made the worst decision of my life and got into a mortgage that would have been half my income with only 5% down. The place would have needed repairs. I was in escrow. I am now out of it and will never do anything stupid like that again. Goodness gracious. I will do this the right way.

    When my wife and I first got married I knew the feeling. I had student loan payments, I had bought a car I couldn’t afford, just bought a house. If it wasn’t for working a lot of overtime there’s no way we could have made it. Now, emergency fund, a lot less payments, and it’s only been three years. Not having payments is the key to being comfortable.

I’m 32 years old and still do some pretty dumb stuff but have been trying to improve. I was over 40k in debt 4 years ago and now only 4K away from being completely debt free!! There was some dumb thing I had planned already once I’m debt free and man did you save me! I actually listen now and accept my faults. I want to fix them, you came into my life at the perfect time. Was God’s plan all along and it makes me feel so good!!! Thank you sir and to this great community. Buying the baby steps now :)
