    We all know the path to success revolves around a few certain things. Don't have kids out of wedlock, and that you can't afford. Stay in school, trade school, and complete the curriculum. Get a job, take all the training it offers, avail yourself to the educational assistance and advancement programs, and do the work necessary to make yourself a more valuable employee to current employer or potential employers. Avoid destructive behavior such as drugs, alcohol, and gambling. Save and invest a portion of your pay, no matter how small you think that saving is. In short, do the right things, avoid the wrong things, and you will advance. Then add in time, and you will be successful. This is tried and true, and for many of us, the only way.

      SunshineLaw: I believe he does that to make him more believable. There are a lot of financial advisors around but they wealthy themselves without ever being poor. Dave rants by example. He was broke...like us....and now he isn't. It's hard to take Get Out of Debt advice from someone who's never been there. So Dave keeps reminding us of his history.

      The reason why people hate rich people it's because they know something that they don't which is the truth I'm not a fan of successful people myself I hate them with a passion I do deliveries and I've done deliveries in three different states for years now and everytime I pull into one of these rich neighborhoods and they have a 70 year old black man working security for some reason like he's going to do anyting you see the hundreds of dollars of toys that they're spoiled kids don't even play with anymore that you couldn't even afford to buy one of them you see the car they buy their teenage daughters that you will never have the money to buy if you save your whole life you see the boat in the yard where they like to go to the lake and you see the nice truck that used to pull it then you look in their garage and you see hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of tools and toys and Sea-Doos and motorcycles and guns just packed in there like a storage shed then I go home to my house at the end of the day mad at the world all over again because I know that I'm one of them people who when the day comes when I die it'll be with nothing nothing absolutely nothing no money no assets no big house in the country know folks none of that no fancy dinners at restaurant so you damn right I hate them you mean to tell me this is the only life we live we only get to be born once and then we're going to die one day and some people live in these gated houses with these in bedrooms their kids have everything they've ever wanted and I have to Budget Shop a couple of small items just to get my kids a Christmas

    Well there are three basic kinds of rich people, and I know at least one from each category. First, the rich person who simply inherited or otherwise won wealth (I mostly know these). Gets no credit. Second, a rich person born into a wealth of connections and a solidly middle class background. Made smart choices and took advantage of their connections. Gets partial credit. Third, the person born into middle class or below with few (or no) connections to benefit from. They had to forge a wholly new path to wealth and they get maximum credit. I know one of these.

      It’s relative to where you live, buddy. And many tradable sector jobs are outsourced, so that either takes your job or at least depresses your wage. Some non-tradable sector jobs are even vulnerable. Illegals working in packing houses en masse since the 1980s have stalled the wage in that particular job for 40 years!

      What incentive does a wealthy person have to increase competition for themselves? They'll never give away their secrets and they always leave a part of their story untold. That's why all these courses on how to become wealthy through entrepreneurship, real estate, day trading, stock market, Shopify, FBA, Bitcoin, etc. are all scams. They'll never tell you the secret sauce. There's more money in "teaching" people how to do something than actually doing that thing.

    There is a fourth response that Dave did not mention. That is one of neutral indifference. You see money mere as a tool to live a good life and as long as you make enough to do what you want you have a neutral emotional stance towards other people's money or material good. It neither makes you envious and spiteful or overly enthusiastic and impressed for their material gains, sure you would feel happy that they achieved their dreams but the material wealth itself is not something that impresses you. If the person were to tell you that they made enough money that they were able to buy a nice car or a nice house your response would just be "oh, that's cool" and then move on to another topic of conversation. This doesn't mean you avoid money but getting money is simply one of the tasks of living a good life. It's like doing the laundry, most people don't particularly love or hate doing the laundry its simply a task that needs to be done to go on with your day. If that's your stance about money then you would fall into this fourth response category.

    Well I have been out of work for a bit and it’s not a problem because I’m very well prepared. I can take a pay check from my small business or use savings. My only debt is my house and my house costs less than 2 years salary from my day job. Friends think I’m rich but I am far from that all I did was set myself up so my living expenses are low. Life is much easier when you are responsible with money and take on no debts other than your home.

Nevertheless, I'm happier being where Dave advocates we should be than I was before, even with matched maturities of assets and debt, that is, I'm happier being without any debt at all.

    Socialism is rising due envious people. If someone think socialism or democratic socialism is good, then ask those who live there. My grandparents lived on socialism, and lost a large part of their farmlands in the name of brotherhood and unity - aka legal theft. To prove that socialism is not sustainable, just make budget exercise on excel spreadsheet.

    There's a big difference between resenting rich people and resenting anyone who doesn't pitch in their taxes. We need taxes to pay for police, the military, roads, schools, etc, all things many who say taxes are theft use and sort.

    • @costco_pizza

I don’t recall anyone hating “rich” folk until they were treating poor people like they were “less than them” because they were in a better economic position. There will always be jealous folk and stereotypes but don’t pretend ALOT of “rich” folk don’t look down their noses at poorer folk. I see it in Atlanta everyday.

    To Dave Ramsey,
    Its not that anyone hates the rich or at least I dont. However the richer you become the more they forget others. The rich pass a bum by as the poor stop and help. This is proven time and time again. The rich forget were they come from or have never seen the other side. Thus making them rude self centered people. Dont get me wrong there are few out there whom still see others and help dispite the ignorance they may have. ( some people are poor due to lack of knowledge.) However most rich people can't see others around them. Some rich are very demanding and dont understand the process it takes. Nor do they care. They also dont like to be told they are wrong. Its not that people hate the rich its because they are to self centered and or have the lack of knowledge. In both parties its lack of knowledge. Jesus Christ is the answer.

Also, it is not just "working hard", it is what you are working hard AT. Of course the distribution of opportunities for education, environment or even innate intelligence is definitely not "fair.". A relative has chosen to work her entire adult life in clerical level jobs with non-profits, to her this is "working hard." It makes her happy, but also she is constantly in financial difficulty because she also lives in denial and won't budget or get real about her situation. A conundrum.
