Savings accounts right now (no risk/no tied up) are paying around 4.35% makes him 150K/year. He lived on 85K. That nearly doubles his previous income. Dave is talking about taking risk. MFs DO NOT average 10%/year consistently. If this is the top of the market and it drops for the next couple years, he may need ten years to get back to his original investment. Remember the old adage, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.
It all depends if you have a long-term outlook. The WORST 30-year period of the stock market averaged 8% a year. Statistically he will live another 40+ years, so he should absolutely invest a large portion of this. Who cares if it takes 10 years to recover when he has 40 left to live and maybe 20 years left to work?

No savings account is paying 4.35% on a multimillion dollar account. They'll pay that much for someone with a few thousand but after a certain amount that rate starts dropping.
there is couple caveats. I would be wary of a bank offering FDIC insured account having high interest. Banks will have CD's with up to 5%. These have terms. You can open a brokerage account with one of the major firms. Any "cash" you have in these accounts is in short-term treasuries or similar, and currently have rates of about 5%. Unlike a bank CD, there is no term limit, you can move money around on short notice. Assuming your overall income is 100K+, your tax rate is fairly high, 30% incremental, plus state. Interest collected in an account has taxes that need to be paid annually. There are various MF options, dividend heavy, growth oriented. You could look for one that holds stocks long term. The point here is value growth is largely unrealized, meaning no taxes due until sale. So, 5% interest, highly reliable, but you pay 25% tax ( that is overall tax divided by income, even though your incremental rate is 30%+) or, mostly unrealized capital gains, untaxed until sale, then at long-term capital gain rate. So even if return is 5%, there are tax advantages life is complicated. learn math
If you straight up have 2 mil and you put it into a savings account you can pay yourself above 80k a year salary off of interest alone. I don’t understand why people instantly start chucking money at random places
I’ll offer you up what my personal scenario would be if I got $2 million. My savings account has currently has an interest rate of 4.35%. That’s the highest it has ever been. The lowest it has ever been is 3.20%. Let’s base this off the smallest percentage as an example. This will give me $64,000 over one year for income. This however has not been taxed yet, meaning I need to make sure I save about $16,000-$20,000 per year so the government can take its slice. Now that’s about $46,000 per year take home. Now that amount is livable, but it’s not necessarily comfortable. What I believe would be better and also safe is you can put that money into T-bills because those grow state tax free, and I live in Illinois so that means a lot. Those frequently offer slightly higher interest rates, are backed by the U.S. government, and buying a bunch of them for say $5,000 a piece gives you regulated income that is slightly less accessible, and it feels like you’re getting paychecks every month or 2 weeks however you spread them out.
The biggest problem with this scenario is inflation. If you put it in the savings and make 50k today, your money in savings certainly won't keep up with inflation. You will only get $50k in 2050 and that won't be enough to live on. You need to grow the money enough to keep up with inflation and still have enough to live on. You need a lot more money to do that.

Anything with a boat scares me. Lots of expenses and insurance operating a boat with paying passengers. Plus all the licenses and safety stuff you need to satisfy government requirements.
The fact the boat is fully paid off should help. One giant over head expense lifted. Main question is if this guy has the mindset to operate his own business. Going from bartender to running your own business is a huge leap.
Sure he does, none of us know him, but it is always important to give confidence and self-esteem. A positive mindset leads to success, a negative mindset leads to failure. This is not just words, it does affect behaviour; real world cause and effect.
just invest the money and live off that if you have no idea what you're doing with business and don't know the headaches and stress that come with business
When someone says theyre making a business and dont immediately explain the expected realistic returns with citations to local similar businesses then they are going to lose all their money.
UK is a high tax high regulations economy which means it suppresses working class wealth. There is a reason why V8 American cars over the last several decades cost half an average salary but in the UK such vehicles were 10 times the average salary.
I agree, the boat thing just seemed like a risky move. That and that fact that he’s been living fully off what he has in the bank AND has too much money into houses he doesn’t live in for what he has overall. Like what are you doing with a 1.2 million dollar house being built with no income and a net worth of only 3 million.
Not working and wanting to start a business without prior experience is a huge flag. It's better to work for a tour boat operator first just to understand the business. I hope he doesn't squander the nest egg.

Great advice on the working. At that young of an age, if you don't work or have a positive purpose in your life, then your soul will suffer. Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

Uncle Dave, I would invest most of it in mutual funds, debt funds and commodities such a way that I will work only for humanity and charity. My time won't be wasted for putting food on the table. Especially when I am on the baby step 6 at present.
He acquired too much wealth too quick; and at 36 years old, I think this guy is going to be broke by 46. It also sounds like he has spent more than half of his inheritance.
Exactly. He probably should stay busy, but Dave and John think you need a W2 or you're worthless. Managing $1.8M in rent houses will probably keep him pretty busy, plus the boat thing on top of that (which is probably not going to make any money, let's be real).
@@SalisburySnakeno he's not saying that the guys going to be worthless if he doesn't work, he's telling him to go to work to keep his mind occupied after the loss of his mother and stepfather. It is very much mental health insurance.
Why 4%? Don't you know how asinine the 4% rule is? You should never withdraw more than 1% a year. If you can't afford to live on 1% you have no choice but to work.
I was wondering how long it would take Dave to recommend a smartvestor pro so that he could get a slice of that sweet inheritance from his murdered mother!
I hope I'm wrong but the sounds like a case where that 3.5 million could be squandered fairly rapidly unless he gets some good people in his corner to make sure he's managing this money correctly.
@@irvinsantathe guy doesn't have experience in real estate and builds a million dollar house to rent, doesn't have experience boating and buys a 200k boat.... He may have good intentions, but he needs to start slower, everyone makes mistakes on the beginning, but it's better to have cheaper mistakes and only risk big when you already have the knowledge. He should get a 9-5 that pays his children's health insurance, and use the new money to compliment the salary until it meets his prior wage. Only then he can start making plans about investing in riskier businesses
Every money you don't immediately need, put in Bitcoin cold storage. Done. Easiest investment advice ever. Having the will power and good judgement to save and budget so you don't tap into long term savings is the hard part for most people.
@@Aquilasdevman these days a detached new build in my area costs this. Not a mansion, a 4 bedroom detached. Nice home don’t get me wrong, but neighbours right up your ass and barely any yard.
Yeah, it was weird to me that neither Dave nor John picked up on exactly how much of the inheritance is gone/tied up already. Dave asked how much he had altogether, and the guy said $3.5 million. But then when you parcel it out, he's spent more than half of that already--$1.8 million on real estate, and $220,000 on the boat per his own assessment. So he's got $1.5 million in cash max, if he hasn't spent money on anything else. Dave ran all the numbers based on $3.5 million in investments, when he's probably got much closer to $1.2 million. That's a whole different ballgame, investment wise. Quite frankly, I would be surprised if this guy had anything left five years from now. With no prior experience as a landlord or a business owner, he has already made a series of very, very bad decisions on what to do with this money.
Dreadful story…I am so sorry for such a traumatic loss of your mother and bless you and your siblings (if you have any) all of your souls - slow recovery is ok - and bless your kids - tough on you all.
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.

That's a horrible way to become a millionaire. Having kids when not married was the first stupid thing. Not working was the second stupid thing. Wasting the money on a boat was the third stupid thing. I hope he gets smarter with his money.
These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
true, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same.
Haha. I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. When I was starting out, I checked out a couple of freelance investors online, so you could do the same. I personally work with Julia Hope Marble, and she's really good.

Listening to the guy. I think he is just on the verge of losing it all. 1.2mil rental house ain’t gonna work. 3 million doesn’t go very far any more. Tiki boat is a part time gig. Depreciation is huge on boat. In 21 years I think it will be a miracle if he has one of the 3 houses left free and clear.
His boat business if he is will to work hard can pay. That is the thing about this story he probably works hard hence why he earned 80000 in service industry. With that same attitude he probably will double that on boat hire. He is probably he sort that would work a Sunday afternoon and all evening.
Something disquieting burbling in the background with this guy. The son of an older woman whose new husband kills her, he's a never-been-married dad of multiple kids, and has never held an "adult" job. And now he's embarking on another career (apparently) sight unseen? Lots for John to dig into here.
Never had a real job? He was a long time bartender and front of house restaurant workers. If he was working as a Somme, he was working at high end places. Career good front of house restaurant people like him make very solid money, which he was doing.
I believe this guy should do something , but he doesn’t need to work if he doesn’t want to. Maybe volunteer, give something back. But what is wrong with enjoying your life , seeing the world. We only get one life, why waste it working if you don’t need to. If he’s sensible, this guy (who is still mourning btw) is set up for life ❤
I just don't get it. Don't tell anyone you have this money. Invest it. Work in a job that makes you happy feel fulfilled. Low stress. With no worries of being "let go". Maybe get married and start a family if that's something you want. Do this right and you can live a great life. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this is a gonna go south quick.
I would put 5-20% of that money into the spot Bitcoin ETFs that have just come out.(split it between the 10-11 ETFs and several investment accounts)You will probably hit that $20 million in the next 3-7 years. Rentals have high over head and risk. Bitcoin is now not “risky” per say it is just volatile, hold long term.

The fact the boat is fully paid off should help. One giant over head expense lifted. Main question is if this guy has the mindset to operate his own business. Going from bartender to running your own business is a huge leap.
The saying about boat owners: the two happiest days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
Sure he does, none of us know him, but it is always important to give confidence and self-esteem. A positive mindset leads to success, a negative mindset leads to failure. This is not just words, it does affect behaviour; real world cause and effect.
and it's probably very seasonal... Spring, summer time only would be busy.
He had enough money to persue this business🎉
just invest the money and live off that if you have no idea what you're doing with business and don't know the headaches and stress that come with business
I respect him asking him how he’s doing
My prayers go out to this man. So brave .. such an emotional thing that money can never touch..
Bro could make a day job for himself writing an autobiography what a tale
When someone says theyre making a business and dont immediately explain the expected realistic returns with citations to local similar businesses then they are going to lose all their money.

This is weeeeird. Fishy. He will blow this money. Def needs a follow-up call.
Yep most inheritances don't survive the next generation.
He built a house for $1.2 million and intends to rent it out?
He called in the show so I have hope he has a good head on his shoulders
I agree. I hope his intentions are well. I wish him luck.@@lombardo141
You're not going to go for a ride on the duck boat?
Making $85k from bartendering is mindblowing for us from the UK. Equivalent job in UK would probably be paid about £20k max
Uk salaries are stupid.
@@ForAncientKingAndElvishLordUK salaries are horrific but shows how much bartenders make in tips.
UK is a high tax high regulations economy which means it suppresses working class wealth.
There is a reason why V8 American cars over the last several decades cost half an average salary but in the UK such vehicles were 10 times the average salary.
I feel like he's in step 3 of a 6 step plan where he has no money in 10 years or less.
I agree, the boat thing just seemed like a risky move. That and that fact that he’s been living fully off what he has in the bank AND has too much money into houses he doesn’t live in for what he has overall. Like what are you doing with a 1.2 million dollar house being built with no income and a net worth of only 3 million.
Already spent about 1/2 the money on high risk stuff, and the business could easily swallow the rest. Great plan.
Not working and wanting to start a business without prior experience is a huge flag. It's better to work for a tour boat operator first just to understand the business. I hope he doesn't squander the nest egg.
There's no flag. You have to take a chance when you start a business.
he will squander the money for sure.

Great advice on the working. At that young of an age, if you don't work or have a positive purpose in your life, then your soul will suffer. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. And besides, playing as your life at 30 something is not a good message to send your kids.
Don't allow some others to tell you any different.

Lottery winners quit their jobs too. Give that a few seconds of extra thought.

Uncle Dave, I would invest most of it in mutual funds, debt funds and commodities such a way that I will work only for humanity and charity. My time won't be wasted for putting food on the table.
Especially when I am on the baby step 6 at present.
I recommend sharing with the comment section
My heart breaks for this man. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I hope he listens to Dave’s advice!!!
He acquired too much wealth too quick; and at 36 years old, I think this guy is going to be broke by 46. It also sounds like he has spent more than half of his inheritance.
My goodness I know exactly how he feels. My mother was also murdered by a new husband who then committed suicide…it’s a terrible terrible feeling…
$3,000,000 times 4% equals $120,000 per year. Why would anyone work. He can live handsomely with a money market account and never touch the principal.
Exactly. He probably should stay busy, but Dave and John think you need a W2 or you're worthless. Managing $1.8M in rent houses will probably keep him pretty busy, plus the boat thing on top of that (which is probably not going to make any money, let's be real).
@@SalisburySnakeno he's not saying that the guys going to be worthless if he doesn't work, he's telling him to go to work to keep his mind occupied after the loss of his mother and stepfather. It is very much mental health insurance.
Why 4%? Don't you know how asinine the 4% rule is? You should never withdraw more than 1% a year. If you can't afford to live on 1% you have no choice but to work.
@@amireallythatgrumpy6508that’s nonsense. You planing on living forever?
dudes going to piss it all away along with his kids when they get old enough..guy is spending it already on all garbage stuff.especially at 36
Yeah he didn't want a job, he wanted a boat
he was an average Joe with hos life turned upside down. Give this man a break, he will have to pay some expenses for valuable lessons
I was wondering how long it would take Dave to recommend a smartvestor pro so that he could get a slice of that sweet inheritance from his murdered mother!
Dave does not need a slice.
I hope I'm wrong but the sounds like a case where that 3.5 million could be squandered fairly rapidly unless he gets some good people in his corner to make sure he's managing this money correctly.
So sad. I assume he’d trade every penny of it to get his mom back. God bless him and heal his heart. Give him strength Lord ❤
Guarantee this guy will be broke in a few years
I don't think so he seems level headed
Building 1 house that’s gonna be worth about 1.2 million thst he plans to rent out….
What?!???? Why? Such a bad idea, in so many ways.
@@irvinsantathe guy doesn't have experience in real estate and builds a million dollar house to rent, doesn't have experience boating and buys a 200k boat....
He may have good intentions, but he needs to start slower, everyone makes mistakes on the beginning, but it's better to have cheaper mistakes and only risk big when you already have the knowledge.
He should get a 9-5 that pays his children's health insurance, and use the new money to compliment the salary until it meets his prior wage.
Only then he can start making plans about investing in riskier businesses
Dave didn't correct him because of the circumstances he inherited the money and he said 'real estate' and 'his child''.
what an absolute tragedy... losing your Mum to a m-s crime.. horrible. God bless the family left behind.
I usually watch the Ramsey show on TBN, but it hasn't been on this week...where did it go?
Every money you don't immediately need, put in Bitcoin cold storage. Done. Easiest investment advice ever. Having the will power and good judgement to save and budget so you don't tap into long term savings is the hard part for most people.
I am 37 and I am planning to get back to work.

Good for her lol
I do not believe that this caller is going to follow any of the advice you have given to him. He's confused and does not want to work.,
Wait, so the guys plan to get into real estate was to spend $1.2m on a new build house and then rent it out? Not sure if thats the best idea.
I’m trying to think of what kind of person could afford to rent a 1.2 million house and wouldn’t just buy something
@@Aquilasdevman these days a detached new build in my area costs this.

he will be broke soon !
Law N crimes meet Dave Ramsey this show is so captivating 🍿👀👌🏻
Starting a tour business, about to blow all the money and go broke.
He's also got two rentals and a primary all paid for. He should be fine.
Dave was too nice to this guy. He's going to go bankrupt.
Why did he call in if he's already made his plans and spent so much of his inheritance?
Yeah, it was weird to me that neither Dave nor John picked up on exactly how much of the inheritance is gone/tied up already. Dave asked how much he had altogether, and the guy said $3.5 million. But then when you parcel it out, he's spent more than half of that already--$1.8 million on real estate, and $220,000 on the boat per his own assessment. So he's got $1.5 million in cash max, if he hasn't spent money on anything else. Dave ran all the numbers based on $3.5 million in investments, when he's probably got much closer to $1.2 million. That's a whole different ballgame, investment wise. Quite frankly, I would be surprised if this guy had anything left five years from now. With no prior experience as a landlord or a business owner, he has already made a series of very, very bad decisions on what to do with this money.
Dreadful story…I am so sorry for such a traumatic loss of your mother and bless you and your siblings (if you have any) all of your souls - slow recovery is ok - and bless your kids - tough on you all.
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.

That's a horrible way to become a millionaire. Having kids when not married was the first stupid thing. Not working was the second stupid thing. Wasting the money on a boat was the third stupid thing. I hope he gets smarter with his money.
Mr Ramsey how can I get one of your book? I am living in the UK
Time to use the money wisely and now he has a lot of money to get some great training in.
Where are you getting 10% interest in investing? Serious question.
These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.
Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.
true, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same.
Haha. I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. When I was starting out, I checked out a couple of freelance investors online, so you could do the same. I personally work with Julia Hope Marble, and she's really good.
In 10 years this dude will be calling in telling Dave how broke he is.
Great comment by these guys to tell him he needs to go to work to have purpose!
He doesnt necessarily need a job, he just needs somethinf to do with his life. He can comfortably live off the investments, manage the properties he owns, and do something that brings him joy, even if a pay day doesnt come with it.
Not at that age and that amount of money.
@@bighands69 basically, so long as the properties he buys, and any market investments are performing at the average, he is fine forever
a nice little financial surprise. unfortunate path to getting the financial surprise..Hope he invests, pays off any debts, saves for his and family future's.
Not going to end well. Hes blowing money faster than a kid in a candy store.
No mention of increasing that wealth with planning to minimize / eliminate estate tax.
No estate tax for that low of an amount of money
@@divemanred With existing law, yes. The increase in the applicable exclusion amount expires in 2026. There's also been trial balloons about decreasing the exclusion amount to $3 million and $1 million.

So horrible. My heart goes out to you.
Listening to the guy. I think he is just on the verge of losing it all. 1.2mil rental house ain’t gonna work. 3 million doesn’t go very far any more. Tiki boat is a part time gig. Depreciation is huge on boat. In 21 years I think it will be a miracle if he has one of the 3 houses left free and clear.
His boat business if he is will to work hard can pay. That is the thing about this story he probably works hard hence why he earned 80000 in service industry. With that same attitude he probably will double that on boat hire. He is probably he sort that would work a Sunday afternoon and all evening.
Definitely go back to work. He’s gonna blow thru that 2 million. He’s planning this boat business and supporting a family of 3…
When those kids realize daddy is a millionaire they're going to harass him for cars and vacations the rest of their lives.
Something disquieting burbling in the background with this guy. The son of an older woman whose new husband kills her, he's a never-been-married dad of multiple kids, and has never held an "adult" job. And now he's embarking on another career (apparently) sight unseen? Lots for John to dig into here.
You don’t have to look into it, grief takes form in different ways. If this man is doing something, God will handle it on the day of Judgement
Yea, I’m a little worried about the
$250,000 tiki boat being ‘built.’
Sounds like a scam. 🤦🏻♀️

Not enough money to do that.
@@bighands69surely so if he invests wisely
I just don't get it. Don't tell anyone you have this money. Invest it. Work in a job that makes you happy feel fulfilled. Low stress. With no worries of being "let go". Maybe get married and start a family if that's something you want. Do this right and you can live a great life. Unfortunately, I have a feeling this is a gonna go south quick.
Taxes. They never address taxes or insurance. $300,000 is ~$52,000 in Federal.
I would put 5-20% of that money into the spot Bitcoin ETFs that have just come out.(split it between the 10-11 ETFs and several investment accounts)You will probably hit that $20 million in the next 3-7 years. Rentals have high over head and risk. Bitcoin is now not “risky” per say it is just volatile, hold long term.
Dude is a little sus with the way he's so nonchalant about it.
Hard to judge when someone is grieving. You become numb...ijs.
Was it weird the way he just breezed over yeah “My mother was killed by her husband and that’s how I became a millionaire” 🤔🤔🤔
I don't think so. My mom died in a similarly crazy situation. After a few years you're just used to the fact.
Even then getting that amount of money after losing someone would soften the blow
I'd be really excitedly confused and anxious damn. Crazy id still be working tho 3 to 4 mil is really not enough in this day and age. Always work. No matter what. Never stay lde especially when u have a (all of a sudden) lump chunk like 4 mil.
Rule of 72 for that quick math in his head if you’re curious. 72/.10= 7 years to double the investment
10% a year interest isn't a cake walk.
