My bank sent me emails last month asking if I was ok because I hadn't spent any money. Don't let anyone gaslight you into buying things you don't need.
Sounds like they were just making sure you weren't dead 🤣
@@KiraNikk0s "she dead? do we get to keep her money?"
Alex, I'll take "Things that never happened" for $400.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol why would your bank try to get you to empty your bank account?
Honestly you don’t even need food skip it too one meal per week maybe honestly every other week also if you work three full time jobs you won’t need a home to live in cause you’ll always be at work so you’ll save money on rent as well sleep is a social construct you don’t need it
😂
😅
Sounds like you’re still in debt. How’s the 6 months treating you?
@@cameroncrider6970 imagine not recognizing the satire of my comment
Right that threw me off you really only need basics and stop living above your means most people don’t need three jobs that’s crazy just need to know hat you have coming in and know what’s going out
One big thing that helped my husband and I was creating sinking fund accounts. We have a savings account for each category. Categories are thinkgs like activities, utilities, car insurance (I pay mine all at once), vacation, energemcy, gifts, subscriptions, etc. It's especially helpful for gifts, as we save up a year in advance and stick to what we planned on spending. The hardest for me is not esting out. It used to be really bad, but we're trying to limit it to $100 or less per month, if at all.
Yes, I've been doing this too. It frees up your current income for paying off debt once the funds are set aside for utilities, food and other bills in advance. Big stress reducer.
Yes! We cut eating out to once per pay period with a max budget on each occasion. And we make it an occasion! We try not to do carry outs unless it's the rare pizza.
She is right. A lifestyle can cause you to go into debt. Although some may see this advice and completely give up at the words "make a plan and stick to it and get additional jobs." You can do it. I did it to create a retirement fund and so I could save cash to buy a house nearly outright so if I had to go on unemployment benefits for any period of time, my electricity, my house note, insurance, vehicle and food would be covered and if need be, I could live off my savings by being frugal for 6 months. I did it for 13 years. I was called boring because I wouldn't go out to the bars and play hookie from work. I thoroughly enjoyed and was grateful for any day that I had zero things going. I never wanted to be in debt because I watched my parents struggle by that age-old saying, "Don't use your money. Use someone else's money. " I can tell you this... you use 2x your money in the long run, paying down that debt. Yes, you get to take your product home that day on credit but you owe someone for 18 mo, 5y, 10, 25, 30y. You can save for 3/4 of the price of a home in 10 years and only need to finance 5 to 10 years. I bought my home at 30, and it's nearly paid off completely at age 40. By taking care of my necessities first and not having more than 1 credit card for gasoline purchases only and paying cash for everything else, I've stayed out of debt, have a high borrowing power and that was all against the advice of credit karma trying to get me to run with 7 credit cards in my wallet. I have a flat 6 card wallet and I have 4 cards in it. DL, CHL, debt card, and gas card. Anyone can do it.
I am so thankful to God that i am not from USA or Canada. Why is everyone there drowning in debt?
Consumerism
Thank you so much Rachel! 😊
No if buts or maybes! Let’s goooooo!
This lady is smart!
Amazing!!
This is what I did to pay off Sallie Mae! That and prayer! It was the Lord who gave me courage to keep going even when I wanted to give up!! Now that’s one less debt I have to worry about
After the debt is paid what is the next step in making your money work for you so you don’t need that second and third job
There’s no way I could work two jobs let alone three being a single mom with a little baby and no help from anywhere outside of when he’s at daycare when I work my full-time job for the city
It's really hard being a single mom and your baby needs you outside of your full time job. It's hard having no or little support system, too! Been there! Prayer said for you.
Lol okay 👌
What about basic hygiene??
Do the opposite of what rich people tell you.
If the Ramseys tell you to write a budget, hire a CPA.
If Warren Buffett says buy ETFs, buy fine art instead.
If Mr. Wonderful says acting your wage is being a loser, quit and find a new career where you are fairly compensated and valued.
Take out the stuff and leave only the S.T.U.F
A friend of my family created a very strict budget than he became rich. Guess what he died alone and he never knew how to enjoy life 😑 because “save money for the future”…
I wish I could get an extra job but motherhood and cancer won’t let me do that. But I already paid off all my credit card debt so I’m doing great so far
Hey I hope you ok in there, also that's fine everyone work at their own pace. it's actually more of for people who just spend it all on wants and parties rather than on needs
Who needs sleep when you got 3 jobs
Sleep when you’re debt free.
Ahaha my parents had to deal with college full time, 3 jobs, and kids you think you’re going through it bud?
😂
I overhauled my grocery budget and cut it in half! I also couldn't believe how much I spent on having coffee, meals out and takeout!! This program not only helps to pay off debt but it teaches you about what you actually need and how little you can live off
Take your meals, snacks, and drinks to work. So you do not spend money. While doing errands, take a refillable water bottle or travel coffee mug and a snack. Food leftovers are remade into meals or snacks. Buy fruit as snacks ex buy 9 Apples and Pears and Oranges. Morning
break Fruit & water Afternoon break Fruit & water, evening snack Fruit & water. You will feel so much better when working alot. You will be able to digest what you eat and have clearer thinking.
You will see all money you didn't spend still in your wallet.😊 So buy groceries .
I'm thinking of turning food waste into methane into energy
Do an OMAD diet and save 75% of food costs. Also, its healthy and works lol
I love the word "attacking" for debt!
The budget is crucial. There is no gazelle intensity, no shovel, no nothing without first setting a budget. That’s what gets your head in the game.
Sounds like horror
So does debt at 30%
Another thing that helps with doing a budget is minimize every and any bill you can. For me it was my phone went from T-Mobile to Mint mobile (even though they are now the same company) and car insurance. (Paying the 6 months in full)
As for car insurance, keep shopping around for the best rates. Or if you live in a state that allows and you save up enough money to do so, make your insurance payment zero. It’s called “self insurance”
I did that and it works! My full bill was pretty much cut in half by switching to my internet provider. I also went a head and paid my renter’s insurance up for the entire year and my car insurance is almost paid so I won’t have to worry about it until July. With that money that would normally go towards car insurance, I’m rolling it over to my car loan so I can get that paid off by June. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to go out and work a second job, so I cut as many expenses as I could. I literally freed up an extra $100 each paycheck.
@@aneshaelizabeth That's amazing, I absolutely LOVE to hear this. It allows you to concentrate on one debt at a time more while having your bills paid up.
Love these videos! I created my first budget video 2-3 days ago I want to encourage other men to start budgeting small intro I’m in the military I’m 23 years old and debt free as of rn lol will be doing my first low budget cash stuffing next week
Because I am paid weekly I budget weekly so it seems like more but at least I am paying attention
Rachel, I feel like you are literally holding my hand telling me this 😳❣️
Probably the most important thing you can learn from them is everyone needs to do personal budgeting. It doesn't matter how detailed it is or how simple it is. But everyone needs to do it to get full control of their money. And by simply doing this one thing, majority of the people will naturally see where they spend their money and feel bad about impulses. And they'll naturally tone down or reconsider impulses.
And if they simply do this before they snowball into horrible debts, then they'll never need to work 3 jobs.
Do you have sinking funds for Christmas and car servicing while in baby step 2?
When you experience nepotism and daddys money you dont experience what everyday working class Americans experience
I do a budget (currently planning my third month) and I don't have much debt. Stage 4 and only have an occasional credit card payment which always gets paid off.
Is that what they call "Dave_ish" when you still use credit cards?? Curious
@@cmadison7591 It was then a convenience item, not an EF and now I've had to hide it cuz I nearly maxed it out while on vacation in July. Not only did I do that, but I spent all the cash I'd brought with me. Because of this my endodontist declined it and suggested I raise my limit which I immediately said no and found another way to pay (debit card). This, I also used to pay my family dentist for the final restoration.
Luckily everything's paid off and I'm on track for a no-spend September. Unfortunately my monthly Spotify subscription is linked to my CC and my health insurance is linked to my DC. In addition to having a prescription to pick up, so it'll be a modified no-spend month. My dad covers "the 4 walls" cuz it's his house.
I graduated from FPU in March and was wondering where I went wrong. I NEVER missed a class and really the only lesson that applied to was 6.
I've done this for over a year. Working towards getting debt free. It is within reach!!!
And who takes care of your kids as a single mom with no family when you’re working 3 jobs. Enlighten me
Basically if you are not up to getting a 2nd or 3rd job, stop spending your money and getting into debt. You can’t have everything! If you’re desperate to get out of debt, that’s where the side hustles and extra jobs could come into play. Depends on how badly you want your debt freedom.
I disagree with her suggestion of getting 2 more jobs and working night shifts. I'd say the best thing to do is budget & stretch your money. And if you want to make more, just do OT or pick up extra shifts at your current job.
Add 2 more jobs on top of those 3 jobs. Dont sleep and don't even eat.
This is just sad. European schools are MUCH cheaper sometimes free even no need to really even go into debt. Justify debt by saying « work harder ! » meanwhile everyone i know works insane hours and are still in debt. What makes more sense is universal healthcare and lowered tuition rates. Its works out great for a lot of other countries.
If you have kids they have needs like food and clothing and shoes, they grow fast. You can cut back on your own clothing spending because most adults don’t change sizes often but the kids need thiers. That’s one thing that’s not going anywhere. Of course not overbuy and buy on sales etc. still adds up though.
I’ll add this: if you don’t have kids and plan on changing that, get out of debt first. If you can’t reasonably afford kids, don’t have them. I’ve been able to save and invest so much money by not reproducing
@@nicholasselke5214 and you will have nothing out of your money except fleeting pleasures
@@nicholasselke5214 having kids and raising a family is what puts good people into debt in the first place. We never had debt before kids. lol. Also unless you are 60 and above and childless and have lived that life until your years run out please don’t advise against having a family because life sucks without one
I started stuffing envelopes and letting a close family member hold them. I saved almost 8k in 3 months.
Do u have kids?
@@Star-qh5wp nope
@@2332Stephen ye. So as a proud mom of a couple kids. Had you had any as of now you would not be able to put away this much. Maybe not any at all. You would need a bigger place. More food. More clothing. More needs otherwise.
Just started my debt journey. I hope I didn’t cut too thin. I paid a big sum on a cc. But now worried I may have bit too much yikes 😬
I keep a buffer of 1100$ in my bank at all times, it's enough to cover my largest expense so I don't have to be surprised or worried I didn't plan properly. This is separate from the emergency fund as that's in a savings account. Each paycheck the account gets put to 1100$ and anything left over from last paycheck goes towards debt. Then we work with what we had just been paid and figure out how much we should have left for debt by the time the next paycheck comes around. Just make sure you aren't screwing your next paycheck over because you got paid 1000$ but have 1200$ of expenses.
I owe 2800. I created a rule for myself. Every bi weekly paycheck that doesn't include rent /car payment..I have a 777 rule ..700 to aavings..700 to credit card and 700 to myself. I'll have it paid off by may..and have some savings and have some fun. Good balance.
You need to point ppl in the right direction to 100k to 500k a yr job so they don't have to work 3 jobs 7 days a week. That's what yall don't do. I can't keep working at KFC for 45 yrs plus 2 more jobs. Show me the money. Where the job that pays over 100k
It’s not enough if you have a family of kids
Where's your degree/ skills and work ethic? Show me that. I work in customer service. I have a specialized skill but it's not that a hard of a skill. It's a tipped base business. And I also side hustle and I gross about 95k a year. But I'm essentially working everyday to some degree. Even if it's side hustle. It'd not the easiest path to 100k but without a degree you're gonna have to put in the hours
@@2332Stephen 100k is not enough if have 4 or more kids.
My company won't allow me to get another job
I love the Ramsey Show and their concept but working on weekends and at night? I know paying off your debt is crucial but health is more important. My mental health wouldn’t do that for two months…
Yeah, the extra jobs sound great and all, but where in all that can I fit in my daily household duties, time with my pets, my meals, & BASIC THINGS IN NEED TO DO TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE? 😅

Yeah and for people who have kids? Look, i did the whole work 2 part time jobs to pay for full time college because my parents were not well off and i was lazy the first half of high school but i was dying from that. Litterally dying. I got average 4-6hrs of sleep daily for 3 years and have 0 time for enjoyment. Not only that but for example i quit school and just focused on one of those jobs. Got promoted to a manager of a seafood department at a mom and pop store, wife graduated college, couldnt find a job where we lived, so she got a good one in the next state over. My boss helped me get into the company i am in now and i make $34/hr as a meat department team leader. That being said, my schedule is random every week. There would be no way to plan for a second job. Some days i work 4am-12pm, some 7am-3pm others 2pm to 10pm. Or i will cover my TM days off if they need a different one than typical. Its impossible to plan.
I do not agree with this thinking. What is the purpose of working? It is about balance of enjoyment and working.
My 1 month expenses = 3.200$… therefore i upped my baby step 1 to 10.000$ 😬 everything else about the Ramsey plan is very good now im comfortable with the every dollar plan
I literally hate when people say “you’re going to get two extra jobs and you’re gonna work weekends and nights, etc.” it’s unreasonable for people who have families. You’re saying you’d rather them be at work than be with their families. I believe you don’t have to sacrifice family time to pay off debt. Just my $.02
Yes. It’s for people that are up to their eye balls in debt and also can’t figure out how to shake it. Obviously if you have a plan and some common sense then maybe you don’t need 3 jobs.
It’s unrealistic if you don’t make enough for your minimum needs. If you have a family that’s a likely scenario for you. You also can’t take 2 extra jobs if you are already working on Sunday. Maybe just a night job but not too intense because you need to be rested for the next day of work. It sounds so doable but truly it’s impossible for many
Alot of people do it
This is for ppl who want to get out of debt and sacrifice to do so. Raising a family in debt isn't healthy either. Pick one
@@tammyturowski6703 of course it isn’t healthy. lol. You can want to get out of debt but in order to do so you have to first make enough to cover your minimum expenses.
I would love some granular detail about what should be in a 'needs budget'. Growing up without, I don't know how to make a budget
Yeah this would be good if the spouse worked and my 1 job wasn't 6 days a week ..
You know what's better than saving? Making more money.
Is it really that easy for americans to get a second or even third job?
why the voice saying 'Survival' every few seconds?
I needed to hear this
Just realized you’re left handed?? Me too. And both of my siblings!! Lol.
Here I am keeping peoples electricity on making $725 a week
every dollar apps works forreals
I want to know where home and contents insurance ranks in priorities.
Part of housing cost
Asiff you do that 😂😂NOT😂😂
How do you get family members to stop asking you for money so one can pay off debt without causing drama??
Tell them the truth - you don’t have the money. If you had the money you wouldn’t be in debt. There will be drama but it’ll be more peaceful having your stuff together
@@CloudslnMyCoffee true but sadly that’s not deemed “broke” in there eyes 🥺🥺☹️. But that what I’ll tell them anyway. Thanks.
Set a budget for them too, and stick to it. All you want you can have - but with your own money. Maybe guide them how to make more, if old enough
Tell them no. You aren't a bank.
These extra jobs seems excessive, mental health is important too!
U think someone in debt living paycheck to paycheck is mentally healthy
@@tammyturowski6703 😆😆😆
Rachel, I've tried without success to get in my Everydollar app.I was using it and had a health issue that took months to get over. Would you please help me?
Gail vaz-oxlade is similar to this except she allows a little leeway for life fun because it up's the chance of success even if its just 50 bucks a month
