My GF brought up the subject of solar panels: asked me my thoughts and if it should be something we should consider, we pay $120 a month for power $80 is line charges so if we used no power we would still pay $80 a month. That means we use $10 a week in power *: at $20k for solar panels it would take 40 years to pay that $10 a week: cause we would still be paying the $80 Line charge just incase we don't get enough sun* the panels just don't make sense *
If you are looking at it from a financial perspective then yes, it doesn’t make sense. But, many people get solar panels for environmental and reliability reasons. Where I am the electric grid is not very reliable, so having solar with battery backup is a great thing to have. I don’t personally have solar, but there are more factors at play than just cost.
@danielkoontz6732 that's how it is where I am too. I use like $20/m max blasting AC in summer, but with fees it's near $100. Water also has like $40 in fees and gas is about 30
In that 7 months you lost more than that 10k in depreciation on your Etron your old truck held its value. In addition if the Etron filled the trucks shoes you weren't doing anything that required a truck in the first place.
“Labor costs” did NOT increase the price of everything. Companies have doubled their PROFITS (after costs). They are simply price gouging you and Dave is covering for them. Don’t let the rich blame workers. One raise in 50 years and they try to bend you right back over to keep riding you

I watched yesterday and left a comment in the live chat but had to come back to say, I’m really tired of Dave Ramsey saying that our work shortage is due to the payments people got during the pandemic. It was a total of what $3600 for some people to get a stimulus check that is not going to last you longer than maybe a month when all combined. The unemployment payments have stopped for almost over a year. People have just become their own boss whether that’s through social media influencer or actually opening a store where they sell items out of their home or out of a store front. It’s a really weak excuse that doesn’t actually look into our current work environment and how it’s evolving.
I agree. I love the show and we are working through the baby steps. But I do a little eye roll every time I hear about rent prices, 15year mortgages, and the work shortage. It sucks but the reality is that the price of things have gone up exponentially, and yes, the greedy companies who increased prices during COVID due to actual work shortages have not brought their prices down… even though they’ve got people working again. So yeah, my grocery budget was 96 for the week and we spent 145 even though we didn’t buy any “big” items. Thank god we have a good income and I can reduce and shift from our other sinking funds but I question every day how people with 50k income, 75k debt, and 2+kids with daycare do it. They don’t. The reality is just that they don’t get it. Their numbers no longer work since around 2021/2022
I've sold my home myself. It's actually not difficult. Title company helped walk us through. That being said, we have a realtor we use often and it's only 3%. Negotiate...7% is too high
I don’t like how Dave shuts people down. It’s rude and he needs to soften a bit. It’s very embarrassing as well. George is an excellent employee and way smart. Don’t talk to him like that!
Dave is calling a 2011 Camry a hooptie? If an $8k car is a hooptie then both of my cars are very close to being one and they aren’t leaving anytime soon 😝 George is right though, at 130k miles it had just broken in. It is a Toyota!
The overall message is that the probability of needing to fix or repair either vehicle would be more expected on the 2011. At any rate that's when a lot of factory parts and pieces will begin to require replacement.
My 2002 Honda Civic has 123K; 2003 Camry has 175K. Painted each a few years ago, so they still look good! Giving the Honda to my brother this weekend. I’ll drive the Camry until it dies, or the price of cars levels out. Paid for cars are a wonderful thing!
Friends AND family made fun😢 of me and ridiculed me for saving money and being frugal. They asked for MY HELP AND INFO when everything crashed in 2008 and I still was able to send my child to summer camp. " Teach me how to do coupons!!" I told them to go to ....😡
I think those quick reads in a pocket size would be really cute & functional if you just want to throw it in the car or your bag for a lil read here and there or to refer or meditate on through your day.
7% to a real estate agent, that's unbelievable, where I live it's a fixed fee of around $1500 (converted to dollars), other places close by it's 1-1.5%.
Totally sucks that she lost her husband, but getting a million dollars and life insurance should probably smooth it over I don't know what the financial problem would be here except for just blowing it on stupid stuff
my only problem with the Tesla is, there's much cheaper options. a bolt, a Nissan leaf plus gets decent range. a Niro EV. all options with good range you can buy for a quarter the price of a Tesla, and without the stupid insurance payments of a Tesla.
I know a really successful clothing seller who consistently sells 2x-3x what is in his store every 90 days, he says he promotes just about everything at 2%.
I am going to finance 60K to buy a car. There is a simple calculation on the gas to evaluate how much it would take to pay in gas for that. I recently did this and figured it would be 7 to 8 years in gas if i drive to work each day.
I believe a spouse has the "option" of taking RMDs similar to if, not exactly the same as, the deceased. Kids do not. Kids must draw it down in 10 years. I know this part because I inherited one from my father 3 mo. ago.

Even though Ramsey is a successful enterprise it’s still a business. There are still employees and overhead to pay. Would you rather pay to watch? This content is free. No subscription needed. Be grateful for the small inconvenience of a few ads.
So, my question is this - How can Dave say that an EV is stupid when he doesn’t even know all of the costs that go into it? He doesn’t even know the cost to fuel it! Plus, just saying Dave, it also depends on where you live. Where I am, I can charge my car at home and at work for free! I have owned my EV for two years and have paid only $21.35 for two emergency fill ups when I needed to go to a commercial charging station. Based on my usage, I have saved $4,450 in fuel cost over that time. Furthermore, the cost to maintain an EV is cheaper than an ICE vehicle. I could go on and on here, but I won’t.
With these high gas prices I fuel up about every 9 days. It costs about $65 to fuel up my car. 365 days ÷ 9 days = ~41 times I fill up in 1 year. 41 × $65 = $2,665 in gas per year. $60,000 Tesla ÷ $2,665 = ~22.5 years to breakeven on gas.
Your math is incorrect. The average new car price in the US is $47,000. A $60,000 Tesla - $47,000 = $13,000. $13,000/$2,665 = 4.88 years. That’s not including all the other maintenance expense associated with a gas car. You can’t compare the price of a new car and cost of ownership with your existing used car. A new gas car will be more expensive than your existing car too!
@@NextGenEvs Tesla has bumped its prices up. Base model Y = 69,000+ Wall charger ($2500) including installation. 71500- 47000 = 24500/2655= 9.19 years.
@@twattgurll False. Tesla Model Y starts at $63,000. Tesla Model 3 starts at $48,500. Just $1,500 above the average new car price in the US. Breakeven would be less than 1 year. Also, charger installation isn’t always required and is on average $500-1,500. Also helps with your homes resale.
I love how he assumes that everyone drives just a couple of miles a day lol. Sure, don't even take into account that lots of people commute to work and gas is $6.50 per gallon.
Not sure I agree with getting a realtor that does hundreds of transactions per year. I don't think that should be the hard deciding factor. Depends on how much consulting you actually want from the realtor. When they get that busy, you usually aren't working with that realtor, but their less experienced team. That's just what I have noticed. You probably won't even speak to that realtor.
"Was your husband honored during his funeral with a nice casket?" "Yes he was." "Great, okay dig him up and sell his casket, we've GOT to get this debt down. If he was still alive I'd box his ears for dying and putting you in this situation."
So Dave doesn't approve of Tesla's and family members and " personalities" all have one?😮😮😮 My daughter's never listened to me also. For retirement theyll have nothing saved.😢 i hope they they have high lufe insurance policies on their husbands. I have 1.2 million on mine.😂
