This is a great example of where Dave can take things too far. In a video intended to show how you don’t need credit, he lists multiple examples of how having no credit has negatively impacted him. Keeping a good credit score might not be necessary, but it can sure make life easier. Just don’t go into debt.
The negative impact of not having a credit score was YEARS ago, not now. He explained quite clearly that 20 and 30 years ago--BEFORE the use of DEBIT cards and Internet--he encountered problems. But now, it's not a problem anymore.
I worked at a highly known insurance company (rhymes with Date Darm), love Dave, and want to follow his rules. Sadly your credit score rate has a big impact on insurance most people are shocked how high their rate is when they have no accidents or tickets. It is because its all about credit score and how often you switch companies.
No wonder my rate has never gone up and is only $106/mo for 2 cars total, including full coverage on one. I've been on Geico for more than 10 years and have an 840 credit score. I go back and forth on whether I want to follow Dave's advice, but going from prefect credit to N/A just feels wrong.
Its your fault n your parents fault u shud never move out unless u saved up enuff to buy a house we do stuff dumb n backwards your 18 get out!!!! That will always fuk us over
When have they ever? Back when homes were $10K people were making pennies an hour. You've always needed a loan to buy a home. I don't see anything wrong with auto and home loans. A loan to buy a TV? probably shouldn't buy the TV.
When was there a period of time where most or even a high percentage of people could do that? I agree that housing has gone way up and is out of hand, but even when prices were lower and more reasonable most people could not pay cash for homes.
I only use my credit card very rarely and I only use it for food and I pay the balance whenever it appears. Ive been using phsyical cash money for my personal expenses cuz that's way easier ot budget for. Automate saving, manualize spending
That shows how crazy the world has become. America focuses on one number that's made out of thin air. It's a system designed to take as much as possible from you. Credit scores have nothing to do with your integrity or the amount of money you have, just how much you love paying interest to the banks.
I’ve got 1 credit card. Use is and never go beyond 30% of the allowance, pay it off in full at the end of the month, did that for years and credit score is good. Easy.
I love Dave as a voice for financial behavioral change. If you can't get your behavior in check, you will never win with the details of your finances. Once you master the behavior, branch out and listen to other reputable financial personalities and filter out the BS that you may hear with the foundational knowledge and skepticism that Dave teaches.
I have a friend who teeters on the brink of financial collapse. He is literally totally screwed if he gets sick and can't work a week. I have little debt with a few bucks on a cc. His credit score is near 800 while I scratch 700.
Let your score drop to zero or disappear, but you’re gonna pay more for insurance, will have difficulty renting an apartment, and your options for a home loan will be severely limited. It’s called ‘The way it is’
Credit History = you will be judged on your past.... Criminal History = you will be judged on your past.... American History = don't judge us on our past......
I have a mortgage, and annual operating/crop input loans for farming, re-paid in full every year. All machinery is paid for. A few years ago, I was around 800. Recently asked my banker if he knew what it was now. IIRC, he didn't even check. I must be such a good customer he doesn't care. He made sure to tell me if I needed a loan for something else, to let him know, lol. I hate borrowing every year for it, but farming takes vast amounts of capital to be put into your products for a few months or longer until you can sell them. As an example, the crop inputs (seed, chemical, and fertilizer) are prepaid for around the new year to get a discount before spring rolls around, and if you sell at harvest, you get the money back in Oct./Nov. If I keep the grain to feed to hogs, almost all of it would get into the hogs sold by Sep., but a small amount would feed the new batch of pigs via feeding lactating sows in Sep./Oct., which would be sold the following March/April. So at the longest, 28 months from prepaid crop input to last hogs sold that utilized the corn. And no matter how cheaply I live, farming makes such a small amount you can't save enough to get out of the cycle.
Keep the credit cards open. You can pay daily. Just rack up the points on daily transactions. I get about 70 dollars a month from just using my credit card.
Wave that around at the airport or rental car and let the law find it. The'll seize it as a asset forfeiture case and you have to prove it wasn't being used for illegal gains.
The title says credit scores are bogus. If you own rental property, you know that the first thing you want to know is about the future renters' ability to afford and pay rent on time. What's the one important tool that is used to confirm that? You guessed it, credit reports. If Dave has a corporation, his corporation is rated by the credit rating industries. All corporations are rated. Most of the country rely on credit. The world revolves around debt. It just the way it is. It's in your best interest to keep up with your credit score no matter what others say. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth and most start off with some sort of debt and work toward success.
If you live in a country where people actually use your brain (i.e. not America) you laugh at the concept of credit scores. I can't believe Americans are dumb enough to rely on them. Credit is not credible.
I did. If you quit financing your life away and buying things you don't need it is not that difficult at all. Granted, I also don't need a mini-mcmansion to be happy with life and spent significantly less than most people because I don't need things to make me happy.
I'm interested to see how paying off my car loan affected my credit score. Haven't bothered to check yet, just took money from savings and paid loan off.
Sweet - Raptor - I guess when you live right and take care of business - you can buy a Raptor and enjoy it. Wish I had started earlier in life living this way with out debt. I would be so far ahead.

Better yet, don't even get a home loan. I'd rather own a trailer house than have a mortgage on a mansion. Even an rv in the middle of wasteland is better than a mortgage.
@john Smith Trailers can make great first homes. Our first home was a brand new mobile home. We picked out the floor plan and chose the options. We lived in it for 3-1/2 years and sold it for just under what we paid for it. We used that money, plus a little more, as a down payment on a home. The negative is that mobile homes don't appreciate in value.
While I understand were the advise is coming from the reality is your credit score is used for a lot more than credit. If you are an owner of a rental property and have two applications with identical income and rental history but on has a score over 700 and one is indeterminate which one do you rent to? Credit scores have a ripple effect on all sorts of things from how much you pay for insurance, your ability to get a rental, to how much deposit is required to turn on your electric and internet services. I don’t advocate for intentionally owning debt to raise your credit score but unless you are well enough off to not need to worry about the ramifications I am not sure you let it drop to 0 either.
I do a proper background check and weigh up the facts and make a decision properly. I don't rely on one number to tell me what to do. Nor does a computer to tell me what to do.
Having a zero credit score shouldn't mean better treatment in terms of rates. If you have that amount of money anyways you're gonna be paying off that debt in less time than anyone else with a better rate in fact, you'll probably come out on top if you're hit with that interest only twice because you're paying that higher rate in a very short amount of time those that pay a lower rate over seven years are most likely going to pay a lot more
Not to mention, what would stop somebody with a lower credit score from putting themselves in a position of having a zero credit score to get better treatment? That's going to ruin it for everybody else who doesn't have a credit score but actually has money.
Its the credit report not the score that is important. Ramsay must have had credit to fund his property empire when younger but got his ass handed to him and filed bankruptcy.
Need good credit to get a job these days. Most companies that pay more than minimum wage will run a credit check in a pre employment setting. It’s a way to judge someones character
How disgusting that in America a credit score is a way to judge someone’s character. What a ridiculous notion. America itself is 34 trillions of dollars in debt. What is Americas credit score?
Anyone with ANY character whatsoever is not dumb enough to have a credit score. You'll note that credit scores only exist in backwards hellholes like the USA.
Yup credit scores , are a reverse sycology of thinking and algorythms , designed in a way to monitor your credit applications and debt, the amount , think about it, your credit score is only going up, if you have more and more and more debt, because the companies will make more money off your debt the more you have and after a lot debt, you will be shocked to find, your score goes up by very little, ie give you enough to keep you happy, but not so much ie to keep you thinking and coming back for more. So it's why I stayed away from debt and credit scores and you know what, 8m doing great 👍👍👍
My credit score went 65 points down because I let it close my credit card. Now I need to have it up. I need a car loan. Dave is rich but I am not. That's the difference. Now my insurance premium may go up. Watch out with Dave's advice if you are not wealthy as He is.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 If you don't have any money saved up, needing to go to work to make money and a car is the only way you'll get there, then yes, you need a car loan.
Not For Sale! Proverbs 23:23 (KJV), Buy the truth and sell it not… When the Bible says, “buy it”, that means get it, acquire it, invest in it, procure it and own it! But the only way to get it is to get Jesus. Truth is not on sale at Walmart. It does not come in cans. You cannot buy truth by the bag, bottle, package or pound. To get it, you have to get Jesus. Since Jesus is the way, truth and life, there can be no other way, truth and life: Without the way you can’t go, without the truth, you can’t know, without the life you can’t live. St. John 14:5-12; St. Luke 24:47; Acts 2:36-38; 4:9-12; Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 3:17 KJV
Dave Ramsey A millionaire talking to people that's making between 40K into 200k we're not in the same ballpark, He's playing in a different league so he really can't understand middle class and poor class people situations, but I guess we listen to him
The only problem is we needed a credit score to rent our place. I needed credit to buy a used car. So the thing is you need a score to get a house or get a apartment or a job?
You can be jealous and make sarcastic comments, or you can do what most of us are doing and use seeing successful people as inspiration to build wealth and better your own life. To each his own.
@@MichaelAnderson-wk1no It's not so much a jealousy thing for me. It just seems to come across as exemplifying a lack of humility, which is what the Bible teaches us to have as well.
@Kyle Hackett That makes sense, I do think humility is important. I guess I personally just don't see it as him bragging, though. To me, it honestly seems more like he is just giving real-life examples from his own experience to make a point.
Whats bogus is telling people to be debt free. When our world works on a fiat system. We have constant inflation which forces you to borrow to buy certain things because you can never save faster than inflation. Also wages never match inflation. Sure be debt free but never expect to own a new car or a home or a boat or a rv without using debt.
I have been on the internet for HOURS looking for this one bit of information. I paid off all my debt about 5 months ago, have one open cc I don't use with a $0 balance, and went to leisurely check my credit score this evening to see it had dropped 120 points! I've been on the verge of a cardiac event all night. THANK YOU. God, what happened to information?? I wish I could make you dinner or wash your car or something, Dave.
Good Evening Mr. Ramsey, I have several questions but I have not been able to find your phone number. It came up once but I didn't have a pen next to me in order to write it down. I wish that it would stay on the screen longer Please. Love listening to everything you say. Thank You and as always keep up the GREAT JOB.
So, if you drink the Ramsey koolaid, you're going to pay more for insurance. Probably several more "gotcha's" out there no one has thought of. Nice....
@@saulgoodman2018 absolutely true, but not being in debt is Dave's advice. They can follow the same principles without following Dave. The other comments on this thread make me believe that they reject Daves advice and love debt.
@@justinbratton1235 Yes, I listened to what he said. Again, he’s quibbling with an actual published study but claims that his study-for which he didn’t publish detailed supporting information but instead only high-level “conclusions”-is valid. It isn’t. He is simply disagreeing with a study because he doesn’t like it’s ultimate conclusion. I like a lot of what Dave says, but you’re drinking the kool-aid if you don’t see that he’s highly biased.
@@Laker62282 you missed the best part, Deloney agreed with Dave that the study was bonus before Dave even gave his reasoning. (And then asked why Dave even carried car insurance which is a stunning question for a guy that age to even ask) one thing I can't stand about this show is when the co-hosts trip over themselves to agree with Dave.
@@carena8478 I think John was wondering why Dave didn't self-insure his stuff. He obviously could afford to replace it, so he could save the insurance premiums that way. Dave mitigates that by carrying high deductibles...basically catastrophic insurance.
Your credit score will not go away after 6 months even if you payoff all your bills & I wouldn't see why you would want that, higher credit scores usually open up more opportunities, I understand Dave's thing about no debt but as he said,lower car insurance rates ..etc, it would take more like more like 2 years of no activity for your credit score to go away
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS NONSENSE. You need a basic credit score so people can confirm your ID, and know that you can manage your money. Just use a couple basic cards for base expenses, and you will have a great credit score, which has many benefits. He wants to trap people in his own ecosystem.
@@jefferyyounce5372 Yeah right, try doing this as an ADULT and they will assume you are a CRIMINAL or a BANKRUPT in hiding. They will just reject you, as they should.
Although I understand Dave not wanting or caring about a credit score Not having a credit score or bank account makes you look shady when it comes to buying a house or nice car for example
Personally I finde credit scores annoying, since I have to maintain, I wouldn't call it debt but a diverse arrangement of annoying small bills to pay a month. And I use a credit card I pay monthly with a air mileage program, a best buy card that has 0 percent interest if I pay the item off within the limit and a low payment economical car that I absorb the bulk of my miles on a vehicle in commuting with it.
The real reason Dave Ramsey hates credit card companies and think credit scores mean nothing is due to the fact, his credit score is wrecked and will never come back. Instead of admitting he made a mistake, he simply condemns the entire credit card industry and blames them. If you are responsible and have a high credit score, there is nothing wrong with that. I personally do not like credit cards but on occasion, I use them and pay them by the end of the week. Just don't live off them.

Credit scores have a ripple effect on all sorts of things from how much you pay for insurance, your ability to get a rental, to how much deposit is required to turn on your electric and internet services. I don’t advocate for intentionally owning debt to raise your credit score but unless you are well enough off to not need to worry about the ramifications I am not sure you let it drop to 0 either.
I do a proper background check and weigh up the facts and make a decision properly. I don't rely on one number to tell me what to do. Nor does a computer to tell me what to do.
Having a zero credit score shouldn't mean better treatment in terms of rates. If you have that amount of money anyways you're gonna be paying off that debt in less time than anyone else with a better rate in fact, you'll probably come out on top if you're hit with that interest only twice because you're paying that higher rate in a very short amount of time those that pay a lower rate over seven years are most likely going to pay a lot more
Not to mention, what would stop somebody with a lower credit score from putting themselves in a position of having a zero credit score to get better treatment? That's going to ruin it for everybody else who doesn't have a credit score but actually has money.
Its the credit report not the score that is important. Ramsay must have had credit to fund his property empire when younger but got his ass handed to him and filed bankruptcy.
Credit as we know it today didn't exist back then.
Need good credit to get a job these days. Most companies that pay more than minimum wage will run a credit check in a pre employment setting. It’s a way to judge someones character
How disgusting that in America a credit score is a way to judge someone’s character. What a ridiculous notion. America itself is 34 trillions of dollars in debt. What is Americas credit score?
@@Dustyphoto915 i agree whole heartedly. That’s just how it is these days unfortunately.
Anyone with ANY character whatsoever is not dumb enough to have a credit score. You'll note that credit scores only exist in backwards hellholes like the USA.
Yup credit scores , are a reverse sycology of thinking and algorythms , designed in a way to monitor your credit applications and debt, the amount , think about it, your credit score is only going up, if you have more and more and more debt, because the companies will make more money off your debt the more you have and after a lot debt, you will be shocked to find, your score goes up by very little, ie give you enough to keep you happy, but not so much ie to keep you thinking and coming back for more.
So it's why I stayed away from debt and credit scores and you know what, 8m doing great 👍👍👍
First time I’ve ever heard him admit a flaw to his plan
My credit score went 65 points down because I let it close my credit card. Now I need to have it up. I need a car loan. Dave is rich but I am not. That's the difference. Now my insurance premium may go up. Watch out with Dave's advice if you are not wealthy as He is.
Nobody "needs" a car loan.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508 If you don't have any money saved up, needing to go to work to make money and a car is the only way you'll get there, then yes, you need a car loan.
When you go to rent an apartment, they check your credit score, don’t they?
Only an idiot would ever consider renting an apartment. They're not fit for human habitation.
Love these!
Not For Sale!
Proverbs 23:23 (KJV), Buy the truth and sell it not…
When the Bible says, “buy it”, that means get it, acquire it, invest in it, procure it and own it!
But the only way to get it is to get Jesus. Truth is not on sale at Walmart.
It does not come in cans.
You cannot buy truth by the bag, bottle, package or pound. To get it, you have to get Jesus.
Since Jesus is the way, truth and life, there can be no other way, truth and life:
Without the way you can’t go, without the truth, you can’t know, without the life you can’t live.
St. John 14:5-12; St. Luke 24:47; Acts 2:36-38; 4:9-12; Ephesians 4:5; Colossians 3:17 KJV
Only a good idea if you have lots of money
When you have millions of dollars in the bank you can talk all the shit you want!
When you go for a job they check your credit score, don’t they?
No they don’t
It’s fake but u have to follow it so grow up and get a good score
Or find a better country to live. One that finds the concept of credit comical. It's not grown up. It's childish.
like where? (honest question)@@amireallythatgrumpy6508
Yet another scam, a person's credit score determining their auto insurance rates, never mind that person never having an accident or ticket
Dave Ramsey A millionaire talking to people that's making between 40K into 200k we're not in the same ballpark, He's playing in a different league so he really can't understand middle class and poor class people situations, but I guess we listen to him
The middle class doesn't exist dude. It hasn't for about a century.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508another sensationalist lie
@@dearjohn8789 You Americans really have no idea do you? No wonder the rest of the world laughs at you.
I am surprised and disappointed that Dave carries full coverage insurance.
Agreed. Guess he's not as logical as he likes to claim.
Of course, the indebted are in the comments section foaming at the mouth and arguing to justify their debt score to make them feel better.
My credit score finally went to 0 the other day. We celebrated
How long? I have stuff I paid off 8 years ago that is still on there.
The only problem is we needed a credit score to rent our place. I needed credit to buy a used car. So the thing is you need a score to get a house or get a apartment or a job?
Only an idiot would rent an apartment.
Dave’s advice is for a target audience- broke people
With no financial understanding and wherewithal.
Dave has tons of money - how nice for him and he seems to have to brag about it.
he always does brag about his >200 million net worth.
Haters
You can be jealous and make sarcastic comments, or you can do what most of us are doing and use seeing successful people as inspiration to build wealth and better your own life. To each his own.
@@MichaelAnderson-wk1no It's not so much a jealousy thing for me. It just seems to come across as exemplifying a lack of humility, which is what the Bible teaches us to have as well.
@Kyle Hackett That makes sense, I do think humility is important. I guess I personally just don't see it as him bragging, though. To me, it honestly seems more like he is just giving real-life examples from his own experience to make a point.
Whats bogus is telling people to be debt free. When our world works on a fiat system. We have constant inflation which forces you to borrow to buy certain things because you can never save faster than inflation. Also wages never match inflation. Sure be debt free but never expect to own a new car or a home or a boat or a rv without using debt.
No, what's bogus is thinking the world works.
Waa. What a victim. I've bought my last three cars with cash. Just bought a Tundra yesterday.
@@damondiehl5637 a victim? You are just Richie rich. Not everyone earns tons of money like it appears you are bragging to be doing.
@@chriss4365 Never made over 100k per year. Enjoy being poor.
To be honest I've never really cared about my credit score. My credit score can kiss my ass.
I have been on the internet for HOURS looking for this one bit of information. I paid off all my debt about 5 months ago, have one open cc I don't use with a $0 balance, and went to leisurely check my credit score this evening to see it had dropped 120 points! I've been on the verge of a cardiac event all night. THANK YOU. God, what happened to information?? I wish I could make you dinner or wash your car or something, Dave.
Credit is necessary in todays world. It’s the sad reality, but it is a reality
in america anyways
Only if you live in a cesspool like America. Countries where the intelligent people live don't have credit and laugh at the concept
Good Evening Mr. Ramsey, I have several questions but I have not been able to find your phone number. It came up once but I didn't have a pen next to me in order to write it down. I wish that it would stay on the screen longer Please. Love listening to everything you say. Thank You and as always keep up the GREAT JOB.
So, if you drink the Ramsey koolaid, you're going to pay more for insurance. Probably several more "gotcha's" out there no one has thought of. Nice....
Pay a higher mortgage interest rate too... Dave is making money for the banks with this advice
Stay broke then I guess.
@@saulgoodman2018 absolutely true, but not being in debt is Dave's advice. They can follow the same principles without following Dave. The other comments on this thread make me believe that they reject Daves advice and love debt.
@@abrahamflores2566 Well, at least for his buddies over at Churchill Mortgage.
@Saul Goodman Says Saul the Troll. If you have no debt and a paid off house, a little more for insurance doesn't matter.
Horrible advice.
lol. Dave’s “study” of millionaires is gospel, but other actual studies that he disagrees with are “bogus.” Got it.
Did you even listen to what he said? He explained it was bogus because they left out an entire control group.
@@justinbratton1235 Yes, I listened to what he said. Again, he’s quibbling with an actual published study but claims that his study-for which he didn’t publish detailed supporting information but instead only high-level “conclusions”-is valid. It isn’t. He is simply disagreeing with a study because he doesn’t like it’s ultimate conclusion.
I like a lot of what Dave says, but you’re drinking the kool-aid if you don’t see that he’s highly biased.
@@Laker62282 you missed the best part, Deloney agreed with Dave that the study was bonus before Dave even gave his reasoning. (And then asked why Dave even carried car insurance which is a stunning question for a guy that age to even ask) one thing I can't stand about this show is when the co-hosts trip over themselves to agree with Dave.
@@carena8478 Totally agree. They feel compelled to agree with Dave on literally everything. It makes for really uninteresting content.
@@carena8478 I think John was wondering why Dave didn't self-insure his stuff. He obviously could afford to replace it, so he could save the insurance premiums that way. Dave mitigates that by carrying high deductibles...basically catastrophic insurance.
Which is why you should take out as many credit cards and take advantage of the 0 intro apr's, bonuses and cashback.
Your credit score will not go away after 6 months even if you payoff all your bills & I wouldn't see why you would want that, higher credit scores usually open up more opportunities, I understand Dave's thing about no debt but as he said,lower car insurance rates ..etc, it would take more like more like 2 years of no activity for your credit score to go away
Yeah not realistic.
I have an excellent credit score. at 23
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS NONSENSE. You need a basic credit score so people can confirm your ID, and know that you can manage your money. Just use a couple basic cards for base expenses, and you will have a great credit score, which has many benefits. He wants to trap people in his own ecosystem.
Credit scores only exists in backwards hellholes like the USA.
LOL... Confirm your ID? Then how do younger folks who are just applying for credit for the 1st time ID themselves?
@@jefferyyounce5372 Yeah right, try doing this as an ADULT and they will assume you are a CRIMINAL or a BANKRUPT in hiding. They will just reject you, as they should.
So the man who filed for bankruptcy is dishing out financial advices to others...
That's a business origin story he made up.
I’m sure Dave’s credit score is very high likely 800
No way he's got one.
Although I understand Dave not wanting or caring about a credit score Not having a credit score or bank account makes you look shady when it comes to buying a house or nice car for example
My score isn't 'bogus' its good.
If you have a score, it's bad.
Personally I finde credit scores annoying, since I have to maintain, I wouldn't call it debt but a diverse arrangement of annoying small bills to pay a month. And I use a credit card I pay monthly with a air mileage program, a best buy card that has 0 percent interest if I pay the item off within the limit and a low payment economical car that I absorb the bulk of my miles on a vehicle in commuting with it.
To say credit score is bogus followed by, I pay a higher insurance rate due to a zero credit score is oxymoron.
It’s sucks he has to give out this terrible advice
Kuch bhi 😂
So Dave Ramsay is rich AF.
How can this guy teach about money when he has a money tree in his backyard?
Dave is a phoney
So if everything falls off of your account in 7 years why pay off debt?
Will this work for black people?
What?
Stop asking stupid questions.
No because they’ve got too much debt as they are uneducated ?
Let’s gooo 🤤👀
@@MatthewChapmanYT Racist much?
Probably not
Being rich with bad credit isn’t everyone dream, I prefer to be well off and with good credit, 840 to be exact.
To do what exactly?
😎✌🖖👌👍🤓
The real reason Dave Ramsey hates credit card companies and think credit scores mean nothing is due to the fact, his credit score is wrecked and will never come back. Instead of admitting he made a mistake, he simply condemns the entire credit card industry and blames them. If you are responsible and have a high credit score, there is nothing wrong with that. I personally do not like credit cards but on occasion, I use them and pay them by the end of the week. Just don't live off them.
He has no credit score.
Dave teaches some bullshit
The only bullshit is the existence of credit scores.
high credit score just means you're a slave to the Lender right?
