I retired at 52 with more than $5M. My parents, still alive, have more than $12M-$15M. That’s my guess and could be more. My children, 16 & 18 already have more than $120K invested. Their money they chose to invest. I grew up on a Mediterranean Peasant food diet of beans, greens and rice. Meat was a HUGE luxury. Parents grew up during the depresssion which honed their survival skills. Neither has a college degree. All four of their children have college degrees with $0.00 in loans. All this and if you walked by me you wouldn’t know any of us were multimillionaires. No fancy cars, no huge houses....just huge amounts of confidence and piece of mind. A lot of what Dave teaches is spot on!
You are all older, so $0 in student loans is a given. A lot of people don't have the upbringing you have. Your parents taught you to save I am sure. Some people worry about their next meal, even if it was rice and beans. Point is, anyone can do it, but not everyone gets the same opportunity.
Guns n Roses perhaps I wasn’t clear on the student loans since I tried to be brief. My parents paid every cent of our college education and taught us to invest. Everyone has the opportunity to spend less than they earn. Their decisions will dictate their behaviors. So much more information than when I was young. Young need to embrace a lifestyle that provides a bright future, whether fiscally or psychologically. There is no excuse if this is what they really want. Need to be taught and realize there are no excuses.

At age of 62, I am now a millionaire thanks to decades of investments and careful spending. I now have the ability to do what I really love. I'm a VA Volunteer at my local VA Hospital. As a retired soldier, this is what I want to do.
I wasn't financially free until I was 40 and I'm still in my 40s, already bought my 3rd home, earned monthly through passive income and achieved 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone not to. It doesn't matter if you don't have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless of your age. INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a great choice that I made. I plan to retire at age 58 with a dividends portfolio valued at $4 million.
I understand that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is hard for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path with my savings worth bout $150k.
Even with the right technique and serious cash some investors would still make more than others, as an intending investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to an invėstment advisėr for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account to a million $$, withdrew my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
The thing is that I really don't like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with "LISA ELLEN SHAW" for about four years now and she's made decent returns. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead.
"The problem is broke people are trying to live like rich folks" actually what I am doing right now, was actually the opposite a few years ago, got me into some pretty serious trouble too. Can't thank Dave Ramsay enough really and on top of that (speaking as a decent person) his views on pretty much everything I really respect and he makes me laugh too! I think part of the problem was I was thinking I could make more money to pay things off but realistically the way I was going about it was entirely wrong, it may still happen when I do that (make more money, got a few plans and ideas, which even if some or whatever of them may fail I'll still enjoy the process) and make something out of the ideas I have. Going to be a good year for me 2018 as this one just gone hasn't been my best year at all, in fact probably one of my worst, glad to get shot of it but we all have good and bad years.
I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income
I agree! That's why it is advisable that you have to invest while you still have a regular job or earning a regular income, and do it constantly. You still need to have something that will keep you going even if you're investing. Good financial planning and money allocation is the key. For a successful long-term strategy you have to seek guidance from a financial advisor.
@@kaylawood9053 I completely agree; I am 60 years old, recently retired, and have approximately $1,250,000 in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, having a portfolio-advisor for investing is genius!
As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. What are some strategies i can employ to be successful?
I have “Sharon Louise Count” as my investment advisor. She has a solid reputation in her field and is a true genius when it comes to diversified portfolios, which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns. She may be a name you are already familiar with; a Newsweek piece helped me to do so. She's a Google-able person.
He is right, an employee beginning a career could hold onto retirement investments for a few decades, while an investment firm may hold and sell an investment within a few days.
According to an expert like Timothy Eric Meek, financial investments could involve one or many different types of assets that are usually bought or sold based on a specific investment strategy. This determines how they are combined in a portfolio.

Dave Ramsey makes a point! At 24 years old I've saved 7k liquid and have invested 20k, bought my own house, all credit cards at 0 every month. This is America if you can't make it here being perfectly healthy you've failed. Change your mindset
The 'perfectly healty' part is probably the most important thing in your comment. If you've got your health, you can make money. If not, suddenly things become much more difficult...

Sir, as a 22 year old young adult with a pretty decent salary and just entering the "real world" I can honestly say I'm thankful that I found your videos and channel at a very young age. Growing up, my parents always struggled financially and it was devastating because they caused a lot of it on their own (financing vehicles without any major reason, careless spending, divorce, etc) so I grew up pretty poor because of their mistakes. I vowed I'd never put myself in the same boat. Your videos are a major wake up call and even though 90% of people my age won't follow you way of financial responsibility out of ignorance or stupidity, I will. Thank you for telling it how it is sir. You are a big help and huge credit to the small society.
And that’s how you end family curses.. good job 👍🏼.. my parents were like yours.. I told myself I won’t be like them.. I’m debt free and trying to grow generational wealth
Dave made me lose the desire to spend money on stupid things anymore. I deleted my shopping apps. Thank you Dave. I’m now on the road to financial recovery.
i live in Jamaica (3rd world) and in a very short space of time i went from having no savings to saving the $1000us dave says to. Listening to this program as made me look deeply into my life and see that the smoking and drinking had to stop, my life has truly made a turn for the better. My circle was a very bad influence on my money and life when i stop drinking they all seemed to disappear. God bless you youre a kind and real man.
seeker jay It's only 3rd world by the Riverton Dump though right? As long as my fellow Windies don't watch tv and get big eyes for this fake Yankee lifestyle they should be able to save. I do a sou sou all year and save a lot lol
I'm jamaican as well. Born and raised in spanish town. Moved to the U.S when I was 15yrs old. I discovered Dave 2 yrs ago and even tho I hate his politics I love 95% of his financial advice. D money yuh save you affi go invest it becuz sittin on it nuh go help u out much. Look into investing it somewhere here or inna a larger and faster country than back home
I was told to spread my money across different things like stocks and bonds to protect my $750k retirement savings. Now, with the markets being shaky, should I keep adding money to my portfolio or consider other options?
If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert. Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience''
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital., This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.

Keep watching his stuff and don’t forget it! If you’ve managed to stay out of debt, don’t let yourself fall into it. If you can’t afford college, go to a trade school and get in a field that can help you cash flow the education you want. Doing it that way may take a little longer, but it’s well worth it. I didn’t start going to school for my dream career until I was 25. But doing it debt free is such a game changer!
Purchasing stocks may appear simple, but selecting the proper stock without a tried-and-true strategy may be challenging. I have been trying to increase my $310,000 portfolio for a long time, but the biggest barrier is that I don't have a clear entrance and exit plan. Any advice on this matter would be greatly valued.
The methods are challenging for the average person. They are typically carried out successfully by experts with a high level of ability and expertise in such trades.
Some individuals minimize the importance of counsel until they make regrettable mistakes. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.

Of course Dave is correct...in everything he is saying! My wife and I set up an Excel budget two years ago - it was a life-changer! We make a good amount of money between the two of us, but we were paycheck to paycheck! Not anymore! Debt free and saving a ton of money! It’s all due to the budget we set up. I balance our checking account to the penny every day...all the guys at work laugh at me when I say that...but who is really laughing? Establishing a realistic budget and sticking to it changed our lives....DO IT !!!! In fact, we are nearing completion of a $130,000 remodel of our home...we didn’t take out a 10 or 15 loan...we budgeted every part of the remodel and paid cash along the way. Yes - it has taken us three years to complete vs three months - but it’s paid for!
How exactly did you make the budget on Excel? Do you have any references that I can use to make a budget of my own? I Don't really know where to start on making one
DOUBLE0SEVEN I just made one today! Start with your monthly post tax income. Start subtracting your fixed expenses and your non-fixed expenses, then start budgeting the remainder with the remainder of your expenses like restaurants, groceries, amount of monthly savings, investments etc. Learn and adapt your budget as you go :)
He is so right! Wish I had started a long time ago. All the money I've given away or wasted over the years I could be retired by now. I know better now so no more excuses.
Reginald Green your point is?? He has what you said BECAUSE of what he says he does in the video! He was broke once too DONT forget or be fooled by what his life looks like now...
Please show me in the Bible where God calls us to be retired??? Retired is a fallacy just like American dating. When I was in Bible college I don’t ever remember reading in the Greek and Hebrew where God calls us to the easy retired life where we sit back, take it easy, and do what WE want. I used to listen to this guy all the time, until I wished up and realize that he doesn’t teach anything different than what I already have learned. It’s simple, just like losing weight, reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories and exercise and you will lose weight. Tithe to God, live like you are poor and save like you are wealthy and live within your means. This is not rocket science. Besides, God created work for mankind to enjoy. Retiring in life is an American fallacy and isn’t Biblical.
Mike Lee, he actually doesn't recommend people not to work if they plan to retire early. He suggests to stay busy doing something you love doing, not forced to...
It is way past time. Dave this is the best advice ever. I'm 19 right now but i made about 36,000 dollars in the past 2 years and i have nothing to show for it. All that money is gone. Now i started saving at my new job and i already saved about 4000 in 2 months
You need to go back to school, or at least get your GED. Then you should really consider learning some sort of trade that is always in demand. Whether you are going to college or a votech school. I think you will find that if you have no skills that are in demand, you have to take whatever work people will give you. That is not a good way to live.
I have just turned 14 and think this is the smartest guy on TH-cam for financial and business related decisions I also love how Dave is strict and doesn’t want you to go outside your budget. He has helped me save a lottt this summer!
Stared my Roth IRA 2 years ago when I was 16 just at $75 a month. That same year I stated my first year of tech school. Don't let society tell you what is normal, normal sucks!
I came from a family that didn't teach me any of this stuff, and I've been following these steps and at first it was really hard, but after the initial shock of seeing what my mistakes actually cost me, ouch. I wish I had heard of Dave when I was younger than 40. Still at least I see hope now, and I realize how much I didn't know before, and how much more I still have to learn., and more importantly I've been making sure my kids are getting taught what I never got taught so they don't make the mistakes I made. Young people just listen and don't go down the debt and mistakes road.
Last November I started to financially educate myself, reading books and learning maths, i immediately started to kill off my debts. I am now investing in some strong mutual funds and I am going to earn interest rather than pay it. I love it when I come across a video like this, it is so great to hear somebody like Dave talking like I was talking to myself!
Definitely, the best books I have read, rich dad poor dad, the 7 habits of highly effective people, the compound effect, the slight edge, think and grow rich, seneca and the Shortness of life, and how to win friends and influence people. These are all good books and I have yet to read dave Ramsey books too. Good luck.
lee maitland I've read all the books that you listed.. Check out Chris Hogans book Retire Inspired (he works for Dave) also all of Tom Stanley's work, The millionaire mind, The Millionaire Next Door, Stop Acting Rich and Start Living Like a Millionaire.. T Harv Eker has a book The Millionaire Mind.. All very good reads.. And when Dave says 85% of Americas wealthy are first generation rich, all the books I outlined prove that! They aren't the cliche that people think they are. They simply talk about how Americas millionaires got rich.. Coincidentally enough by doing 3 things.. Staying out of debt (out of the 85% self made millionaires, 70% of them have ZERO DEBT) living below their means, and having an annual financial plan, broke down into a 12 month budget, saving for purchases, living in a modest home, driving a nice, but used car.. Very interesting.. I've been a follower of Dave for 5 years, and I've been debt free for about 4 years, and it's the most FREEING feeling in the world
Thanks for the recommendations Nick, I'll add these to my reading list, I have also recently read Dave's Daughter Rachel Cruze's book 'Love your life not theirs', its a very good read. I have also read 'The Go-Giver' which is an amazing story. Congratulations on your success and best of luck for the future.

As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $700k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns
Invest if you actually want to be wealthy. However, you should get guidance from a financial advisor if you want to create a successful long-term plan….
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the stock market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly and I made over $800K within a short time
With 700 k if you still have it lol I would use 6 100 k CDs because APY is up to 4 to 5% and then have that other 100k for emergency funds debt or whatever have you.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today. Dave's advice works over the long haul, the most difficult part is being patient.
The best portfolios are diverse ones people forget about, and ones of deceased people whose children didn't know about it. I listened to a financial planner who quoted a study that showed these findings. Your broker or planner should update you and send you yearly reports, but the ones that do the best don't look at the numbers, or if they do they skim over it, make sure it checks out and move along with their life and not worry about it. I'm sure a lot of millionaires will say they don't spend every second checking the market or their portfolio. They are living their life enjoying it debt free.
Just finished stacking up $332k in my emergency fund... and now it's time to jump into investments. Any tips on going from 'emergency fund master' to 'millionaire in the making'? Or do I just keep staring at my savings while inflation eats it alive? 😂
Nice, $332k is solid! But seriously, don't let it sit there too long, inflation's no joke! I got into the game with the help of an investment advisor who really knew their stuff. Might be worth a thought before diving in solo!
Honestly, I’ve been in the same boat. Have the cash, just no clue where to go next. I know I need an advisor, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. Any suggestions?

I'm 41 years old, I save $1200-1500 per month. My wife saves about the same. That's not including 401k. It took me a long time to learn the value of saving and investing.
My dad told me to do this when I was 19 and started my career in the military. Of course I didn’t listen. I’m 37 now and wish I listened to everything he told me about finances...I’d have a nice chunk now and not have all the debt I have now. I live paycheck to paycheck. I’m just now fixing things. Going from a $400k home to a $200k home to get ahead of my finances and build something
I started when I turned 18, when I joined the military, had our Wing's finance officer tell me "Wow, your dad did you a favor by telling you to do that". Made an impression. I've had my ups and downs but my military retirement will be allowance money hopefully. Good luck on your task, just like you were taught, improvise, adapt and overcome.

Idk why these rants make laugh but they always do. I get a good laugh and the screaming refocuses my mind on finance. Thanks Dave always leave these videos up.
I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend with when I hear back from Camilla.
12% is a little high -- let's say 8% (average return) - you'll need to save $325/month over 40 years to have $1M. That's way more realistic. I can contest - this works. I saved more than $325 over 30+ years.
I was fortunate -- I understood the powers of compounding before I was old enough to drive. I (manually) figured out how much my savings would grow (and at that time savings in a money market account at a bank (minimal transactions per month) was around 6.25% - 1% higher than a regular savings account). I believe around that time, my dad told me a story that a penny could be worth a million dollars in 30 days if you can double it every day - and that started me being intrigued.

"Get Rich With Only 4 Stocks" I want to say this, the key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relation to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That hold true from long term investing to day trading.
In my view, I would say, buy good companies and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and speculations which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
Any much good stuff still going on in the market regardless of the soaring inflation and crash? I see people everywhere on the tv saying they made over $400k and I'm left to wonder, how do they do it?

I work as a handyman for a side hustle and I’ve had senior citizens pull the “I’m on a fixed income can I get a discount”. After watching this video I want to smack those people in the face and say “if you invested just $100 a month during you’re working years you’d be a millionaire, I should charge ya double”
Haris start early. Watch and learn from these videos and advice here. I wish I could have had all this when I was younger. Also be careful about the choices in life you make and buddy’s that are wasteful. I ran around with a lot of “losers” like Dave says and I regret it now big time. Save save and learn.
I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this video. Each time it reinforces my drive to live like no one else do that later I can live and give like no one else.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing below the $100k mark and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $234,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest a huge percentage of my profit and it got more interesting.! For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home at the beginning of summer.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@BrandonIvan-c6e However, if you do not have access to a professional like Suzanne Gladys Xander, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.
im only 20 and my future matters to me so much. i promised i cannot fail myself, i will continue to make the strides to become wealthy for me and the people i love, it is hard but im glad i have realized at a young age, ive seen to much misery do to poor life decisions, thank u dave ramsay for this information i have learned a alot and will continue to learn.

Financial management is crucial for long-term stability and peace of mind. Avoiding it can lead to missed opportunities and financial difficulties. Working with a financial adviser has really helped me get on the right track and secure my future.

'Rachel Sarah Parrish, is respected in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses experience and serves as a valuable asset.
She looks to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
I retired at 52 with more than $5M. My parents, still alive, have more than $12M-$15M. That’s my guess and could be more. My children, 16 & 18 already have more than $120K invested. Their money they chose to invest. I grew up on a Mediterranean Peasant food diet of beans, greens and rice. Meat was a HUGE luxury. Parents grew up during the depresssion which honed their survival skills. Neither has a college degree. All four of their children have college degrees with $0.00 in loans. All this and if you walked by me you wouldn’t know any of us were multimillionaires. No fancy cars, no huge houses....just huge amounts of confidence and piece of mind. A lot of what Dave teaches is spot on!
You are all older, so $0 in student loans is a given. A lot of people don't have the upbringing you have. Your parents taught you to save I am sure. Some people worry about their next meal, even if it was rice and beans. Point is, anyone can do it, but not everyone gets the same opportunity.
Guns n Roses perhaps I wasn’t clear on the student loans since I tried to be brief. My parents paid every cent of our college education and taught us to invest. Everyone has the opportunity to spend less than they earn. Their decisions will dictate their behaviors. So much more information than when I was young. Young need to embrace a lifestyle that provides a bright future, whether fiscally or psychologically. There is no excuse if this is what they really want. Need to be taught and realize there are no excuses.
Yay for your testimony. Love it. I celebrate you!!!

At age of 62, I am now a millionaire thanks to decades of investments and careful spending. I now have the ability to do what I really love. I'm a VA Volunteer at my local VA Hospital. As a retired soldier, this is what I want to do.
Congratulations!
You're living the dream! Good for you.
Great job! Your hard work and dedication is an inspiration and example.
***** how did you do it? what do you recommend I can do with no risk?
Allan Schwartz No risk? There is no such thing. Long term investments, frugal lifestyle, and don't buy things you can't afford.
I wasn't financially free until I was 40 and I'm still in my 40s, already bought my 3rd home, earned monthly through passive income and achieved 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone not to. It doesn't matter if you don't have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless of your age. INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a great choice that I made. I plan to retire at age 58 with a dividends portfolio valued at $4 million.
I understand that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is hard for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path with my savings worth bout $150k.
Even with the right technique and serious cash some investors would still make more than others, as an intending investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to an invėstment advisėr for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account to a million $$, withdrew my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
The thing is that I really don't like making such recommendations. But there are many freelance wealth managers you could check out. I have been working with "LISA ELLEN SHAW" for about four years now and she's made decent returns. If she meets your discretion, then you could go ahead.

What's with the violence?!
The problem is broke people are trying to live like rich folks. Live poor save rich.
CycleCruza what you doing here?! i watch you're channel too haha!
"The problem is broke people are trying to live like rich folks" actually what I am doing right now, was actually the opposite a few years ago, got me into some pretty serious trouble too. Can't thank Dave Ramsay enough really and on top of that (speaking as a decent person) his views on pretty much everything I really respect and he makes me laugh too!
I think part of the problem was I was thinking I could make more money to pay things off but realistically the way I was going about it was entirely wrong, it may still happen when I do that (make more money, got a few plans and ideas, which even if some or whatever of them may fail I'll still enjoy the process) and make something out of the ideas I have.
Going to be a good year for me 2018 as this one just gone hasn't been my best year at all, in fact probably one of my worst, glad to get shot of it but we all have good and bad years.
I watch your channel a lot 😊
Big fan Cruza!
Stop being a "panzie" and invest! 😂
I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income
I agree! That's why it is advisable that you have to invest while you still have a regular job or earning a regular income, and do it constantly. You still need to have something that will keep you going even if you're investing. Good financial planning and money allocation is the key. For a successful long-term strategy you have to seek guidance from a financial advisor.
@@kaylawood9053 I completely agree; I am 60 years old, recently retired, and have approximately $1,250,000 in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, having a portfolio-advisor for investing is genius!
As a new investor it's always great to hear from a person who has gone through all the difficult times and come ahead of it. What are some strategies i can employ to be successful?
I have “Sharon Louise Count” as my investment advisor. She has a solid reputation in her field and is a true genius when it comes to diversified portfolios, which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns. She may be a name you are already familiar with; a Newsweek piece helped me to do so. She's a Google-able person.
I copied her whole name and pasted it into my browser; her website appeared immediately, and her qualifications are excellent; thank you for sharing.
Generally speaking, the higher the risk that an investor takes, the higher the reward a financial investment could return.
Both individuals and companies make financial investments with the intent of maximizing income or earning a profit.
TIMOTHY ERIC MEEK said investments are held for a specific interval of time that is called a time horizon.
He is right, an employee beginning a career could hold onto retirement investments for a few decades, while an investment firm may hold and sell an investment within a few days.
According to an expert like Timothy Eric Meek, financial investments could involve one or many different types of assets that are usually bought or sold based on a specific investment strategy. This determines how they are combined in a portfolio.

Patrick Brown what do you do for income?
Sir, as a 22 year old young adult with a pretty decent salary and just entering the "real world" I can honestly say I'm thankful that I found your videos and channel at a very young age. Growing up, my parents always struggled financially and it was devastating because they caused a lot of it on their own (financing vehicles without any major reason, careless spending, divorce, etc) so I grew up pretty poor because of their mistakes. I vowed I'd never put myself in the same boat. Your videos are a major wake up call and even though 90% of people my age won't follow you way of financial responsibility out of ignorance or stupidity, I will. Thank you for telling it how it is sir. You are a big help and huge credit to the small society.

i live in Jamaica (3rd world) and in a very short space of time i went from having no savings to saving the $1000us dave says to. Listening to this program as made me look deeply into my life and see that the smoking and drinking had to stop, my life has truly made a turn for the better. My circle was a very bad influence on my money and life when i stop drinking they all seemed to disappear. God bless you youre a kind and real man.
seeker jay It's only 3rd world by the Riverton Dump though right? As long as my fellow Windies don't watch tv and get big eyes for this fake Yankee lifestyle they should be able to save. I do a sou sou all year and save a lot lol

I was told to spread my money across different things like stocks and bonds to protect my $750k retirement savings. Now, with the markets being shaky, should I keep adding money to my portfolio or consider other options?
If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert. Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience''
Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital., This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.

My teacher recommended the class to listen to this guy. I’m glad that I’m watching this at 18
Your teacher just saved your life.
School teaching personal finance.... Your teacher has broke the fabric of the universe!
Anyway... Good luck man!
Same! it was in 7th grade and, unfortunately what she said didnt stick with the the other students, but it really got me interested in finance!
That’s a great teacher
Keep watching his stuff and don’t forget it! If you’ve managed to stay out of debt, don’t let yourself fall into it. If you can’t afford college, go to a trade school and get in a field that can help you cash flow the education you want. Doing it that way may take a little longer, but it’s well worth it. I didn’t start going to school for my dream career until I was 25. But doing it debt free is such a game changer!
Purchasing stocks may appear simple, but selecting the proper stock without a tried-and-true strategy may be challenging. I have been trying to increase my $310,000 portfolio for a long time, but the biggest barrier is that I don't have a clear entrance and exit plan. Any advice on this matter would be greatly valued.
The methods are challenging for the average person. They are typically carried out successfully by experts with a high level of ability and expertise in such trades.
Some individuals minimize the importance of counsel until they make regrettable mistakes. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant push to keep my firm afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
That makes perfect sense because you seem to know the market better than we do. Who is the mentor?
'Laurelyn Gross Pohlmeier' a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
She seems to be a well-read and intellectual woman. I found her website when searching for her online; I appreciate you sharing.
Of course Dave is correct...in everything he is saying! My wife and I set up an Excel budget two years ago - it was a life-changer! We make a good amount of money between the two of us, but we were paycheck to paycheck! Not anymore! Debt free and saving a ton of money! It’s all due to the budget we set up. I balance our checking account to the penny every day...all the guys at work laugh at me when I say that...but who is really laughing? Establishing a realistic budget and sticking to it changed our lives....DO IT !!!! In fact, we are nearing completion of a $130,000 remodel of our home...we didn’t take out a 10 or 15 loan...we budgeted every part of the remodel and paid cash along the way. Yes - it has taken us three years to complete vs three months - but it’s paid for!
Do And Brew - DIY wow good job. Thats what i want to do
Congrats man! I love it!
How exactly did you make the budget on Excel? Do you have any references that I can use to make a budget of my own? I Don't really know where to start on making one
DOUBLE0SEVEN I just made one today! Start with your monthly post tax income. Start subtracting your fixed expenses and your non-fixed expenses, then start budgeting the remainder with the remainder of your expenses like restaurants, groceries, amount of monthly savings, investments etc. Learn and adapt your budget as you go :)
Congrats!!!
He is so right! Wish I had started a long time ago. All the money I've given away or wasted over the years I could be retired by now. I know better now so no more excuses.
Theresa B in theory. remember "he's retired" NOT! making a killing #fpu is a diamond mine (u kno about diamonds rt?) &hooked he's daughter up too
Reginald Green your point is?? He has what you said BECAUSE of what he says he does in the video! He was broke once too DONT forget or be fooled by what his life looks like now...
Please show me in the Bible where God calls us to be retired??? Retired is a fallacy just like American dating. When I was in Bible college I don’t ever remember reading in the Greek and Hebrew where God calls us to the easy retired life where we sit back, take it easy, and do what WE want. I used to listen to this guy all the time, until I wished up and realize that he doesn’t teach anything different than what I already have learned. It’s simple, just like losing weight, reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories and exercise and you will lose weight. Tithe to God, live like you are poor and save like you are wealthy and live within your means. This is not rocket science. Besides, God created work for mankind to enjoy. Retiring in life is an American fallacy and isn’t Biblical.
Mike Lee, he actually doesn't recommend people not to work if they plan to retire early. He suggests to stay busy doing something you love doing, not forced to...
well people in the Bible old testaments live like 400 years... there's no retirement for people that can live that long.
It is way past time. Dave this is the best advice ever. I'm 19 right now but i made about 36,000 dollars in the past 2 years and i have nothing to show for it. All that money is gone. Now i started saving at my new job and i already saved about 4000 in 2 months

Yeah brother, I think you're going to do just fine.
You need to go back to school, or at least get your GED. Then you should really consider learning some sort of trade that is always in demand. Whether you are going to college or a votech school. I think you will find that if you have no skills that are in demand, you have to take whatever work people will give you. That is not a good way to live.

Check out Chris Hogans book Retire Inspired (he works for Dave) also all of Tom Stanley's work, The millionaire mind, The Millionaire Next Door, Stop Acting Rich and Start Living Like a Millionaire.. T Harv Eker has a book The Millionaire Mind.. All very good reads.. And when Dave says 85% of Americas wealthy are first generation rich, all the books I outlined prove that! They aren't the cliche that people think they are. They simply talk about how Americas millionaires got rich.. Coincidentally enough by doing 3 things.. Staying out of debt (out of the 85% self made millionaires, 70% of them have ZERO DEBT) living below their means, and having an annual financial plan, broke down into a 12 month budget, saving for purchases, living in a modest home, driving a nice, but used car.. Very interesting.. I've been a follower of Dave for 5 years, and I've been debt free for about 4 years, and it's the most FREEING feeling in the world
Thanks for the recommendations Nick, I'll add these to my reading list, I have also recently read Dave's Daughter Rachel Cruze's book 'Love your life not theirs', its a very good read. I have also read 'The Go-Giver' which is an amazing story. Congratulations on your success and best of luck for the future.
Thank you sir!! His principles are def worth living out!
Dave: latte breath
Me: puts Starbucks down
Might as well drink it you already bought it!
Hahaha
Exactly stop buying into the consume, consume, consume ideology. It'll save you thousands just by not partaking and trying to keep up with the media and 1% whom are gifted most of what they show off in the media.
The only reason everyone likes Starbucks because it is loaded with sugar and creamy milk. You can easily make it at home if you wanted. Even better, learn to drink coffee black no sugar nor milk.
I quit caffeine 3 months ago and never looked back
That escalated quickly
DaxXx988 so is people’s debt! That’s why Dave’s podcast blew up! I’m so glad I started listening. Wake up call for America
Whenever I am losing grasp on my financial goals and start going astray, I just need to listen to some good ol' Dave Ramsey to get me back on track. This guy will put your act back together if you listen to what he is saying. Old video but lasting content!
I love Dave Ramsey. We need to implement his finance course in every American high school.
The public school system teaches kids to be poor.
@@Convexhull210 yes it does
No. Dave Ramsey financial advice is mediocrity
Yes and not just high school elementary school as well all through out elementary school and high school it sucks that some kinda graduate college and don’t know a thing about money it sucks
It’s possible but it’s never gonna happen.
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $700k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns
Invest if you actually want to be wealthy. However, you should get guidance from a financial advisor if you want to create a successful long-term plan….
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the stock market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly and I made over $800K within a short time
With 700 k if you still have it lol I would use 6 100 k CDs because APY is up to 4 to 5% and then have that other 100k for emergency funds debt or whatever have you.
Place in an S&P 500 ETF like SPLG, SPY or VOO and earn yourself an average of 10% per year.
@zahairobrian671 lies
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today. Dave's advice works over the long haul, the most difficult part is being patient.
That's a great analogy. I'm gonna try and get my kid brother into saving & investing without bombarding him with the jargon too much.
The next best time to plant a tree is this year cause corona gives us opportunity
The best portfolios are diverse ones people forget about, and ones of deceased people whose children didn't know about it. I listened to a financial planner who quoted a study that showed these findings. Your broker or planner should update you and send you yearly reports, but the ones that do the best don't look at the numbers, or if they do they skim over it, make sure it checks out and move along with their life and not worry about it. I'm sure a lot of millionaires will say they don't spend every second checking the market or their portfolio. They are living their life enjoying it debt free.
Just finished stacking up $332k in my emergency fund... and now it's time to jump into investments. Any tips on going from 'emergency fund master' to 'millionaire in the making'? Or do I just keep staring at my savings while inflation eats it alive? 😂
Nice, $332k is solid! But seriously, don't let it sit there too long, inflation's no joke! I got into the game with the help of an investment advisor who really knew their stuff. Might be worth a thought before diving in solo!
Honestly, I’ve been in the same boat. Have the cash, just no clue where to go next. I know I need an advisor, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. Any suggestions?
There are a handful of CFAs out there. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I’ve stuck with ‘Linda Aretha Reeves’ for some time now. Her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s well-known in her field!
Just looked up Linda Aretha Reeves... Wow, she seems exactly like what I need to get my financial journey on the right track. Thanks for the recommendation!
Watched Linda Aretha at the Bloomberg Finance Summit 4 years ago. Her presentation was chef's kiss - totally nailed it! Definitely someone worth considering.
Imagine making 12% tax free 30 years straight. You would be amongst legendary investors as Warren Buffett
1:17 “i have more to give and more to live, if i save”. This is why i love Dave Ramsey, truer words have never been spoken 👍
I'm 41 years old, I save $1200-1500 per month. My wife saves about the same. That's not including 401k. It took me a long time to learn the value of saving and investing.
10akee let me guess net worth around 1.5mil?
That's outstanding.
Well done to you both.
My dad told me to do this when I was 19 and started my career in the military. Of course I didn’t listen. I’m 37 now and wish I listened to everything he told me about finances...I’d have a nice chunk now and not have all the debt I have now. I live paycheck to paycheck. I’m just now fixing things. Going from a $400k home to a $200k home to get ahead of my finances and build something
I started when I turned 18, when I joined the military, had our Wing's finance officer tell me "Wow, your dad did you a favor by telling you to do that". Made an impression. I've had my ups and downs but my military retirement will be allowance money hopefully. Good luck on your task, just like you were taught, improvise, adapt and overcome.
You can do it
Update??
I save but I don't invest. I currently have about $300k net worth with all my savings (liquid assets only). Who do I talk to about starting an investment account? I'd like to maybe be a millionaire sooner then later.

Amen. How can your brain function when you are constantly bombarded with BS? IT CANT, AND THAT IS SOCIETY AND THE ECONOMY'S M.O. don't fall for it. Sit in nature and in silence as much as possible and you will be a OKAY.
Investing in various sources of income that are independent of the government should be the most essential thing on everyone's mind right now. especially in light of the global economic crisis at the moment. I have $560,000 sitting in savings searching for the best method to enter these markets. This is still an excellent moment to invest in equities, gold, silver, and digital currencies.
Something I’ve learned from my first bear market: You don’t have to outperform, just survive. If you can survive and let your competitors blow up you’ll be the only one left and in a better position than before.
@@Blitcliffe Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.
@@2024Red-j5t Working with a professional to develop a well-structured investing portfolio is a wonderful approach to get started. That's why I've been working on my dealings with “NICOLE DESIREE SIMON”.

Guess I’m part of that 5% that does do a unique monthly budget. Keep track of that excel sheet everyday for what goes in and out of my account. Started it about 3 yrs ago and I always encourage others to do the same. Probably the best starter habit anyone looking to change the way they look and handle their money can do
Same. Game changer
Same and I also use Mint to help keep track.
I do too! It completely changes my spending habits! Now I’m about to invest 95% of my income

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation.
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend with when I hear back from Camilla.
Time in the market > timing the market. Don't pick stocks, you will not succeed. Better to invest in a fund like the S&P 500 or a global index fund.
12% is a little high -- let's say 8% (average return) - you'll need to save $325/month over 40 years to have $1M. That's way more realistic. I can contest - this works. I saved more than $325 over 30+ years.
Then you were very lucky. I was bringing less than that a week in the 80's. Daves numbers aren't realistic.
I was fortunate -- I understood the powers of compounding before I was old enough to drive. I (manually) figured out how much my savings would grow (and at that time savings in a money market account at a bank (minimal transactions per month) was around 6.25% - 1% higher than a regular savings account). I believe around that time, my dad told me a story that a penny could be worth a million dollars in 30 days if you can double it every day - and that started me being intrigued.
Maybe i'm stupid but in the UK we have ISA's which is the same as an ira and all the average returns are in the 3-6% range.
What is you start saving at 35 yrs old? How much would you need a month to save to reach over $1M?
Drew Pierce type in Dave Ramsey investment calculator on google, type in your age and the age you plan to retire. Then play around with the monthly amount you plan to invest, and put the interest rate at about 8% to be safe, possibly can put it at 9% if you want

This is the first Dave Ramsey video I ever watched, it somehow ended up in my feed a few years back and I’m so thankful it did, life changing!
I absolutely love this rant and want to say a huge CONGRATS to the audio engineer who made sure to not let the hot moments go full red. People need to wake up!
"Get Rich With Only 4 Stocks" I want to say this, the key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relation to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That hold true from long term investing to day trading.
In my view, I would say, buy good companies and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and speculations which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
Any much good stuff still going on in the market regardless of the soaring inflation and crash? I see people everywhere on the tv saying they made over $400k and I'm left to wonder, how do they do it?
A positive investor is one who sees opportunities in every market cycle. Not in the sense of FOMO. But one who sees all the good stuff that can happen even in each market cycle (Bull/Bear). That is foresight, One who takes advantage of even the bears. A positive investor the real MVP and the winner at last. Seek for the help of Portfolio Managers, that is what worked wonders in my portfolio

I’m going to be sharing this video with everyone I know. Not only is it absolutely hilarious but so informative as well. You really do have no excuse to not retire wealthy. I work as a handyman for a side hustle and I’ve had senior citizens pull the “I’m on a fixed income can I get a discount”. After watching this video I want to smack those people in the face and say “if you invested just $100 a month during you’re working years you’d be a millionaire, I should charge ya double”
Being a 14 year old I’ll be grateful until I die for this video thank god
Haris start early. Watch and learn from these videos and advice here. I wish I could have had all this when I was younger. Also be careful about the choices in life you make and buddy’s that are wasteful. I ran around with a lot of “losers” like Dave says and I regret it now big time. Save save and learn.

For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home at the beginning of summer.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child.
