My husband and I are 26 and 24. We came out of college with $60,000 in debt, and we realized we would never be able to afford our bills and have a kid. We stumbled across Dave Ramsey on complete accident, and we paid off all our debt in 19 months. Now we have a baby on the way AND financial security. Thank you Dave Ramsey!
Question: if you were able to pay off $60,000 in 19 months then why did you think youd never be able to afford bills or a kid? Geez i can afford a kid and it would take me a decade or more to pay off 60 grand..
Congratulations!!! We also stumbled on Dave Ramsey by accident! We paid of $76K in 17 months 5 years ago! We're on track to pay off our mortgage in 7 years before our 40s! I'm so thankful for Dave and his information 🙏
@@amattson6578 We worked extra jobs, worked overtime, and sold so much stuff that we didn't need. There's nothing special about Dave's advice. He just motivated us with knowledge and we took action. 5 years later we do not regret it! 17 months was such a short sacrifice in the grand scheme of things
The method he teaches works! I've cleared about $22000 in debt in 15 months using these steps. I sold off possessions (including a new car), rented out a room in my house, slashed my household expenses and put myself on a $3 to $4 a day food budget. I still have $15000 to go, but watching this video makes me feel energized. I can do this! So can you!
Best of luck John!! You can do this my friend. I'm starting baby step # 2 tomorrow. A long way to go, but I see paradise at the end of the journey. It's time to live like no one else . . .
I've paid off over $20K in debt over the last year by working Dave's plan. It does work! I'm down to my very last debt: $9,100. My goal is to be debt free by my birthday in September.
well not so bad. Many people don't make decent money until they are in their 30s. The issue is did they avoid the debt? If you avoid debt then your still ok because most younger people don't really have money to invest. Harder to invest when making 20k as opposed to 50k+. so 30s still gives you 30 some odd years before retirement
I still get emotional when I hear Dave tell us to Run, Run, RUNNNN!!!!! " Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter" ...and you will be free! I love this intensity, God Bless you Dave!
I'm 22 years old, will be closing on my house this Monday!! A coworker of mine sent me to Dave Ramsey! Wow so glad he did! Baby step one completed..... STEP TWO HERE I COME!! GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY. IM GOING TO BE CHASING THAT CHEETAH!
Wow you're doing great in life for 27! I wish I was as responsible as you when I was 27. Don't let anyone drag you down. Watch out for the wicked "divorce settlement". That takes down a lot of guys.
Although not mentioned in this video, Dave Ramsey doesn't give a crap about credit scores!! Why do you need a credit score? So you can borrow money? Hmmmmmm shm
Hope everyone listened to this man before the Corona crisis!! I am more than comfortable at 36, looking to retire early, even with the crisis I did not have to worry about anything.
I’m 15 years old watching, currently saving up money, selling random stuff I don’t need. Planning on not paying debt in college(I know I things don’t go as planned), but I have a high GPA and am a D1 athlete. I’m still unsure what I’m going to study but that’s okay and God can guide me through that. I’m going to buy a used car and everything. My parents had to put their life on hold because of the weight of their debt. At this point, I don’t care about what these girls my age will think of me and how I love, but at least I value my own well being and success over looking good to people who don’t care about me. PERIODTTT
It happens to most of us. We have been conditioned to borrow and all of that, but the Bible says we are the lender and not the borrower, and we are the head and not the tail. Above only and not beneath in Jesus name. We will overcome!
Me too, and I'm 73. I'm starting all over while many of my friends have passed away, and I'm alone without any safety net. Income goes way down at this age. You never realize your age until it's too late...so pay attention to this man!
Dave Ramsey changed my life. We were able to clear around $130k in debt including our house and cash flowed 2 vehicle purchases in about 40 months. We’re glad we became debt free since I lost my job with the pandemic. We’re able to live off of one income and haven’t touched our emergency fund yet.
I'm in the Financial Peace University classes now. I'm starting over at age 73. Had many serious medical issues, however I'm not giving up. At least my debt is low, and I'm starting a temporary job in April that will really kick start my income flow. I'm determined to make this work.
You can do it Judith. Better late than never. Having a lot of money in the bank can decrease worry big time and being worried all the time is a big killer.
Congratulations Judith. I also am 73 yrs old. Trying to acquire my bus Degree here within 6mos. I hope. I changed into computer programming as of January of 2021. But, not another two years. So, I also I'am not giving up. About, this budget schedule, I should do very well, since I got a divorce years ago.
Dariusz...All the best to you and your family! Keep up the good work, stay patient and stay the course.......you will be so happy at your success in the end and you will enjoy great peace once all your debt is gone! Be strong....and then try never to get yourself into that situation again. God Bless!
I'm very grateful to have grown up with parents that listened to Dave Ramsey's radio show. In a week, I will be 21 with a car that I bought in cash and no personal debt. I have $3,500 in the bank, but am working on getting that $1000 cash emergency fund.
If you have 3500 in the bank, you already have Baby Step 1 completed..Just do with that 1 grand how you wish involving having quick access to it be it leaving it in that bank account, putting it in a different one, or just yank out the cash and stuff that grand into an envelope labeled emergency fund, and hide it somewhere only you know about That leaves 2500 to go towards baby step 3 ( full 6 months of living expenses). Congrats gal. You're kicking ass
15 months ago... I started his baby steps. Today we’re done with Bs2. 30k paid off! I fought him in my thoughts for a month... kept listening to this speech a lot. And one day I believed it... looking behind I say thanks Dave. Love his passion!!!!
And don’t listen to the naysayers! They’re gonna try to convince you otherwise. I’m a walking testament to Dave’s baby steps. Follow his program. There’s nothing to buy so it won’t hurt if you follow them.
Okay I’m 23 and I’m so confused on what he actually means by monthly expenses, sounds silly I know but my father was kinda a drunk and more of a woman then a man growing up so I didn’t really get to learn, so yeah this is eye opening man. Any advice?
@@christopherdemmons4119 Monthly expenses (and someone who knows more about the DR method can correct me if wrong, please) are Rent/utilities/car payment/insurance/food - expenses/bills you have to pay every month that are necessary.
I'm right behind you (37). The good thing about our situation is that we know the other way doesn't work, so we don't have to waste time questioning that part of it. Just enjoy the rest of your long life debt free ^_^.
Dave Ramsey program is christianity based knowledge.When he says read read read read read!He's talking about the bible and scriptures where knowledge is power.Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.Amen
Use to have the wrong mindset until I discovered Dave's method. I can honestly say this should be taught in every school. His knowledge on finance is incredibly helpful. Thanks to him I'm paying my debts wayyyy earlier than I ever imagined! I just have $2000 left and getting it done this month! I can't wait to be financially free!!!
The baby steps work ... I'm on baby step 3 and it feels good. I come back to this video every time I feel a certain type of way. Thank you Dave and team ! God bless you.
I make roughly 24K a year and am trying to pay off the remainder of my car loan at 6K. I’m also a college student trying to make good grades while balancing my full time job. I listen to the Dave Ramsey podcast on my way to and from work to stay motivated. Bring it on 2020!
Love Dave Ramsey and his teachings. This is stuff WORKS. My wife and I paid $50,000 in debt in 18 months (from April 2018 to November 2019). During those 18 months there was lots of sacrifice. I was working 3 jobs and was working 70 to 75 hrs a week. It was so WORTH IT. Now, I only focus on my main job, I work about 40 to 45 hours a week, and I sleep very well :). Because of my hard work, I’m getting ready for a promotion this year. We are in step number 5. In the 24 months that we have been working on this plan, our progress financially and as a married couple, has been so much more than what we have done in 10 years of marriage. I’m 37 years old. YOU CAN DO THIS !!!
I wrote the below message 4 months ago. I have only one bill left to pay off. I could (or wouldn't) save a dime before! I am actually putting money IN my savings NOT pulling it out! Dave is amazing and I love his GUT honesty approach.
I want to thank you Dave. My wife and I were in deep financial trouble in the early 1990'S. We bought Financial Peace shortly after it was released and it truly changed our lives. Today due to that book and 7 steps we have been debt free for close to 12 years. And believe me when I say it was NOT easy for us to start the process. NOW No debt, buy our pre-owned cars with cash, use credit cards as cash and can do what we want when we want to do it. What saddens me is that not enough people follow your advise. I have 3 people, 2 family members, i've given your books to over the years that were in deep financial trouble and not one took the advise. They continue to do the wrong things financially. Again, thank you Dave Ramsey.
I dread doing my monthly budget, especially when I've overspent that month on frivolous things. Don't wanna see the damage. But I put Dave on and he gives me that kick in ass. God bless you dave!
Bulletproof budget. Cut up the credit cards, dont borrow money, and sell your new car (if you bought one). Once you do your budget and start trimming off things you dont need or use you'll see the scales tipping to more money and less Bill's. That's where you start before the baby steps. Good luck my friend
I put him on at breakfast and even while K go to sleep some days it really makes me spend differently. I've got 24k owing... Going down 500 weekly...can't stand looking at it any more... More car payments
I found Dave not all that long ago and he really got the wheels turning in my head. I cash flowed 100k in tools for work over 6 years and I paid off 47k in debt in a little over 2 years, I got a bit off track due to a workplace injury. Now I am going to work towards saving to purchase a home and my next goal is to have a paid for home before my mid 30s. Dave and his team are a God send!
Absolutely life-changing plan. We've been doing this for a few years now. BS 2 feels like it takes forever, but we just keep going. I come back to watch this video periodically for motivation. THIS PLAN WORKS.
Cardiackid Jones that’s dumb because you could put that money into an investment and come out ahead in the long run. Assuming the interest is less than 6%
@@jimmysyar889 know the percent you make is so little if you put it in the savings. But if you pay off the debt just saving so much money because you end up paying two and three times the amount of what you paid for the item.
Tracy Z not if you make 7-10% which is what the market goes up by on average over 30 years. An investment into a fund like the vanguard s&p 500 index fund will make way more than the interest costs for the mortgage.
I'm so amazed he's unashamed to speak about God and the Bible and if anyone says something against him can't go against his attained wisdom from the Bible and from the fruit of his lifestyle.
Great content.... I intend to listen to this over and over again until it sinks in my spirit. May God bless Dave Ramsey for me; He is a Gift in this Generation. I can't wait to manifest success through these great insights. Am forever blessed.
This guy is gonna change my life. My whole life I was broke making between 18k-22k a yr. I qualified for a state funded scholarship to acquire a cdl class a and became a truck driver. My first 2 years I built experience, made 60k and upgraded my license to cdl A with hazmat. Now I work in a union job making 70k and building a pension. I'm still living almost check to check because of stupid spending and trying to be like everyone else and build a credit score to be normal. Well now that changes. In about 15-18 months I will be debt free. Forget debt, my money is now going to work for me. I'm 36 yrs old and plan to retire a millionaire! It's good to be weird😁
Dude, I'm in the EXACT same situation. 37 years old, about to get my class A and want to knock out 40k debt. Only thing is I have to get my CDL on my own (didn't qualify for grants/loans). Good luck man, keep in touch!
@@tyroneebusiness1594 I didn't realize I had replies here. Since I posted that comment, I took control of my money, paid off my credit cards and closed them. I was able to buy a house just two months ago. I made sure I got into a mortgage that I can easily pay along with all bills plus have left over. Sometimes I slide into a little too much spending but when I realize I'm sliding back, I give myself a pep talk and remind myself that I came from being broke and don't want to go back. Stay focused!
I remember the first time I saw my account with 1,000 dollars (saved) even in debt that felt amazing. I was like: "Its posible to save money" after years hearing we can't save money. Thats why for me that's the most important babystep. Small victories in BS1 and BS2 are important.
"Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN 🏃♀️. " My first time listening to Mr. Ramsey was at Bishop TD Jakes Mega Feast in Atlanta, GA. In 2005. He had animal planet videos of Gazelles being chased by the Chetah. His seminar was intense! I bought Financial Peace University for $99. I set everything in place. It changed our lives. I never regret the day I made the decision to listen to Mr. Ramsey. His method works! BABY STEPS WORK!
I worked enough overtime last week to cover step 1. Tonight I created a nifty pay off "calendar" to post in my bedroom so it's the first thing I see when I wake up. it's 9 pages (9 different debts) in order from lowest to highest. Each page has the name of one debt in large bold font and in small font at the bottom has the remaining debts. So each time I pay off the debt and go to the next page I have a clear reminder of what I'm attacking while also seeing the debt list get smaller and smaller. We
I'll be 39 this year time to start now. Wish i'd seen this in my 20's but my time is now. Seems simple. Waiting on this refund i'll put that $1000 in savings. I make $28000/yr. Wish me luck guys
I am so grateful I came across Dave Ramsey. I am learning alot, the first loan of 80k paid off today. Started my emergency fund, and paying off the other loans using the snowball method. Glory to God 🙏
Reading books has really skyrocket the way I think about investing. Indeed, no one has ever got rich by saving money. If you want to become financially free, You need to Invest. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.
Yeah, You're Right! According to a book writer; ‘What everyone needs is to work with a financial advisor, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in profit.
Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner.||
26 and starting today! Landed a good job a little less than 2 years ago, I’ll be at 6 figures by next year. I’m changing my life. I will be a millionaire in my 30’s. I’ll come back and update this someday in the future.

nathan hardy well I was thinking about selling my perfectly great car to get another one and spend another 7 to 8,000 dollars to get it. Now on the other hand... not doing it!
I found Dave at 25. I live in CA and am now 32 and am super stable. No debt and so much freedom. I’m not a million by any means but if anything were to happen tomorrow I wouldn’t feel scared.
I’m 27. I have 5000 in savings. A 750 credit score and will be graduating from college next year with 40000 in student loans. This video has definitely got me motivated to jump start these student loans. Thank you Dave!
I’ve been hearing so much of Dave Ramsey from the you tubers that I watch and decided I should see what the fuss is all about. I’m totally gonna do this. I’m gonna get to step 3 by my birthday.
What i love about dave is the no bullshit approach and the clear concise unmistakable steps. Too many speakers talk in circles. Not dave. Thank you for this.
Hello homewood high school seniors in Economics My school isn’t perfect, but I’m honestly so glad that this school is trying to teach us about money. This is a real skill that we really need.
I remember watching his entire presentations in one of my financial literacy class and I never cared for his word. I’m 27 now, just paid off my $20k loan in 3 years which was scheduled for 7 years. I’m debt free and all I have is income flowing in now! 🙏🏼
Samantha Jacobo Start! It doesn’t have to be exactly how he says. Take his advice and modify it to your life. Google or TH-cam Dave Ramsey and others have shared how they got started. You can do it. One small step will give you hope
I'm 41 just found about Dave Ramsey because I was helping my son earn a credit for his junior HS year. I wish I would of found him when I was in HS. I guess it's never too late. My 3 boys will be taught his lessons. My husband and I will start now.
I found him in my mid 30s and in 4 years my husband and I are from step 1 to step 6 and will be totally free paid off house in 10 to 13 years with retirement funding each year now. Thank you Dave Ramsey!!!
Thank you Jesus! This is the EXACT video I needed today. Been listening to his videos since yesterday. Today I've been wondering/thinking on how to approach paying of my bills. Just heard... start at the smallest then to the biggest owed debts. THANK YOU GOD! I can do that!!!!! I already feel financial freedom forming within my mind and spirit! My poor husband has been talking about this for years (SAVING) and I didn't listen. I took no action. Today I see that I have been wrong. God has made that very clear to me. No shame just GUT HONEST REALITY in my face. If I don't own it - I cannot move forward!
Thank you Dave! I feel so inspired to do this now. I heard about Dave like 7 years ago but I couldn’t fully practice it. We saved sometimes and sometimes raised our emergency fund but we didn’t focus enough to get out of debt and because of that we haven’t seen the results we really want. After hearing this video I’m determine to follow every baby step with commitment and focus from now on because there’s no more time and money to waste anymore. We need to get back on track!!! Like Dave said in this video, it’s not his program that fails is US. We’re the ones that free ourselves from the gazelle, not Dave. Now I get it! It’s time to change my behavior with money and start following Dave’s advise carefully and faithfully to see results! 🙌🏻🙏
Im seriously going to teach my kids about finances. I really wish they tough me this when i was in school because this is actually a main priority knowing how to manage your money.
My husband and I are about to embark on this journey. Taking our 15 and 12 year old sons along for the ride so they do not make the same mistakes we did.
I'm 19 and have 6,000 in debt but luckily I'm already tired of being in debt and I still live free with my parents I plan on spending every penny I earn to clearing my debt
Dave Ramsey changed my financial life. Got in contact with Dave's books at 35 and today money runs errand for me and not the other way round. Thanks Dave.
We're on baby steps 4 & 6 (bs#5 is n/a for us). We are focused. We work hard. We communicate. We have a peace of mind that is priceless and we don't take it for granted.
I found Dave Ramsey last year. Which i was 37. Im struggling thought this life. I have been wanting to call in talk to him. But im trying my hardest fix what i mess up.

Emily Shears where I find a buddy like you😂
@@emilyshears901 we did not sure about him
Why didn't I find that video sooner.
The public schools should embrace this as a teaching tool.
Some schools do
I took informational financial literature as a freshman and we watched a ton of Dave Ramsey
Why? School kids spend more time on youtube than they do studying anyways. It's here, it's free, anything beyond this is a choice.
Totally agree!
Preach
The method he teaches works! I've cleared about $22000 in debt in 15 months using these steps. I sold off possessions (including a new car), rented out a room in my house, slashed my household expenses and put myself on a $3 to $4 a day food budget.

The bad news is I didn't find Dave Ramsey til my 30s... The good news is I found Dave Ramsey in my 30s

This same enthusiasm hit me when I decided to quit drinking. When I was done drinking. Nothing was going to stop me!
Hope you are still doing well

Yes GIRL!
Military could be a good option for you, even reserves can help with college and gives job experience

We will.
THANKS FOR YOUR WISDOM SIR! GOD BLESS YOU & IT'S NEVER TO LATE! GOD CAN GIVE YOU BACK ALL YOU THINK YOU'VE LOSS.
It happens to most of us. We have been conditioned to borrow and all of that, but the Bible says we are the lender and not the borrower, and we are the head and not the tail. Above only and not beneath in Jesus name. We will overcome!
But, on the picture you look sooo happy. That's wealthiest wealth I would love to have, more than any amount of money.. (and I'm 50).

So glad I came across this guy.. my life is coming together now
MOUNTIE'S CORNER Cc. Ckk😒😒😒😒😦😦😦😀🗡👺👺🗡🗡😈😈😈🦐🦐🤠🧐
Congrats man.
Amen! I have to agree w you same here
MOUNTIE'S CORNER '
I can totally relate!! I came across him two days ago and my God he has been a blessing! Congratulations to you!
I'm very grateful to have grown up with parents that listened to Dave Ramsey's radio show. In a week, I will be 21 with a car that I bought in cash and no personal debt. I have $3,500 in the bank, but am working on getting that $1000 cash emergency fund.
If you have 3500 in the bank, you already have Baby Step 1 completed..Just do with that 1 grand how you wish involving having quick access to it be it leaving it in that bank account, putting it in a different one, or just yank out the cash and stuff that grand into an envelope labeled emergency fund, and hide it somewhere only you know about
That leaves 2500 to go towards baby step 3 ( full 6 months of living expenses). Congrats gal. You're kicking ass
Awesome! 😊
15 months ago... I started his baby steps. Today we’re done with Bs2. 30k paid off! I fought him in my thoughts for a month... kept listening to this speech a lot. And one day I believed it... looking behind I say thanks Dave. Love his passion!!!!
Wish i have heard this in my 20s...I am 38yrs, in debt and broke😭😭😭. One step at a time...
SaME!! but, 37! May this year be the year we see and execute some change, my friend!
And don’t listen to the naysayers! They’re gonna try to convince you otherwise. I’m a walking testament to Dave’s baby steps. Follow his program. There’s nothing to buy so it won’t hurt if you follow them.
Okay I’m 23 and I’m so confused on what he actually means by monthly expenses, sounds silly I know but my father was kinda a drunk and more of a woman then a man growing up so I didn’t really get to learn, so yeah this is eye opening man. Any advice?
@@christopherdemmons4119 Monthly expenses (and someone who knows more about the DR method can correct me if wrong, please) are Rent/utilities/car payment/insurance/food - expenses/bills you have to pay every month that are necessary.
I'm right behind you (37). The good thing about our situation is that we know the other way doesn't work, so we don't have to waste time questioning that part of it. Just enjoy the rest of your long life debt free ^_^.
I feel like I’m in a Baptist’s Church and someone handed him the wrong book to talk about. Great video
Lol
😂
Hahaha...you took my words. Yes, guess he must have had some drink before tossing the speech, I dare to bet. ...........:)..............STF
Dave Ramsey program is christianity based knowledge.When he says read read read read read!He's talking about the bible and scriptures where knowledge is power.Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.Amen
Carlos Santos Amen
Use to have the wrong mindset until I discovered Dave's method. I can honestly say this should be taught in every school. His knowledge on finance is incredibly helpful. Thanks to him I'm paying my debts wayyyy earlier than I ever imagined! I just have $2000 left and getting it done this month! I can't wait to be financially free!!!
The baby steps work ... I'm on baby step 3 and it feels good. I come back to this video every time I feel a certain type of way. Thank you Dave and team ! God bless you.
This comment was from 3 years ago. Would you mind sharing an update on where you're at now?
Update?
I'm at the age of 17 and this 45 minute video has taught me more about life than 12 years of schooling has and that's sad...
True Dave lessons are some of the most important lessons ever taught.
@TheGkmasta yeah outside of basic skills school prepares you in no way shape or form for what life is like once that diploma is handed to you
I make roughly 24K a year and am trying to pay off the remainder of my car loan at 6K. I’m also a college student trying to make good grades while balancing my full time job. I listen to the Dave Ramsey podcast on my way to and from work to stay motivated. Bring it on 2020!
Love Dave Ramsey and his teachings. This is stuff WORKS. My wife and I paid $50,000 in debt in 18 months (from April 2018 to November 2019). During those 18 months there was lots of sacrifice. I was working 3 jobs and was working 70 to 75 hrs a week. It was so WORTH IT. Now, I only focus on my main job, I work about 40 to 45 hours a week, and I sleep very well :). Because of my hard work, I’m getting ready for a promotion this year. We are in step number 5.
In the 24 months that we have been working on this plan, our progress financially and as a married couple, has been so much more than what we have done in 10 years of marriage. I’m 37 years old.
YOU CAN DO THIS !!!
Time to get rid of this 77k in student loans. My wife and I have agreed to never have another credit card and never borrow money ever again.
How are you managing 8 months down the road?
Borrowing money is not the problem, repayment is. Most persons are not diciplined and deligent enough when dealing with loans.
Credit cards are not the problem. Not having self control and a budget is the problem.
Paid off 8.000 of debt in 3 months!
Way to go!
Watch out, we got a gazelle over here
Thank you ann:)
i too owe 8 dollars :’)
Would u tell me how?
I wrote the below message 4 months ago. I have only one bill left to pay off. I could (or wouldn't) save a dime before! I am actually putting money IN my savings NOT pulling it out! Dave is amazing and I love his GUT honesty approach.
I want to thank you Dave. My wife and I were in deep financial trouble in the early 1990'S. We bought Financial Peace shortly after it was released and it truly changed our lives. Today due to that book and 7 steps we have been debt free for close to 12 years. And believe me when I say it was NOT easy for us to start the process. NOW No debt, buy our pre-owned cars with cash, use credit cards as cash and can do what we want when we want to do it. What saddens me is that not enough people follow your advise. I have 3 people, 2 family members, i've given your books to over the years that were in deep financial trouble and not one took the advise. They continue to do the wrong things financially. Again, thank you Dave Ramsey.
"When it wasn't you that did it; it was God anyway" - brought me to tears. May we all have that freedom to be able to help one another.
I dread doing my monthly budget, especially when I've overspent that month on frivolous things. Don't wanna see the damage. But I put Dave on and he gives me that kick in ass. God bless you dave!
Bulletproof budget. Cut up the credit cards, dont borrow money, and sell your new car (if you bought one). Once you do your budget and start trimming off things you dont need or use you'll see the scales tipping to more money and less Bill's. That's where you start before the baby steps. Good luck my friend
I put him on at breakfast and even while K go to sleep some days it really makes me spend differently. I've got 24k owing... Going down 500 weekly...can't stand looking at it any more... More car payments
Every once in a while I watch this video to get myself motivated to keep up with the baby steps!!!!
25 years old and this man has changed my life by viewing my finances differently than the rest of people
Being 23 years old, working on baby step 3.. life feels manageable. Thank you for all your time and inspiring words Dave.
To be 25 years old and have Dave’s wisdom presented before you is a huge blessing. Hope all is well with you brother.
I found Dave not all that long ago and he really got the wheels turning in my head. I cash flowed 100k in tools for work over 6 years and I paid off 47k in debt in a little over 2 years, I got a bit off track due to a workplace injury. Now I am going to work towards saving to purchase a home and my next goal is to have a paid for home before my mid 30s. Dave and his team are a God send!
I started baby step 2 1.5 years ago. I have paid off 55k in debt. THIS WORKS!!!!!!!!
I really like this man. His delivery is phenomenal. I got the message.
Absolutely life-changing plan. We've been doing this for a few years now. BS 2 feels like it takes forever, but we just keep going. I come back to watch this video periodically for motivation. THIS PLAN WORKS.
Finally debt free - mainly due to a change in mindset after watching various videos like this. These lessons should be taught in schools!
#CONGRATS
Congratulations!!!!!!
I watch this at least once a year and it is always good. :)
I am paying a twenty year mortgage off in 8 years after attending Dave’s seminar.
Cardiackid Jones that’s dumb because you could put that money into an investment and come out ahead in the long run. Assuming the interest is less than 6%
@@jimmysyar889 know the percent you make is so little if you put it in the savings. But if you pay off the debt just saving so much money because you end up paying two and three times the amount of what you paid for the item.
Tracy Z not if you make 7-10% which is what the market goes up by on average over 30 years. An investment into a fund like the vanguard s&p 500 index fund will make way more than the interest costs for the mortgage.
Banks must hate you 😂😂
I just paid mine off in twelve years. It feels GREAT!!!
I'm so amazed he's unashamed to speak about God and the Bible and if anyone says something against him can't go against his attained wisdom from the Bible and from the fruit of his lifestyle.
Great content.... I intend to listen to this over and over again until it sinks in my spirit. May God bless Dave Ramsey for me; He is a Gift in this Generation. I can't wait to manifest success through these great insights. Am forever blessed.
This guy is gonna change my life. My whole life I was broke making between 18k-22k a yr. I qualified for a state funded scholarship to acquire a cdl class a and became a truck driver. My first 2 years I built experience, made 60k and upgraded my license to cdl A with hazmat. Now I work in a union job making 70k and building a pension. I'm still living almost check to check because of stupid spending and trying to be like everyone else and build a credit score to be normal. Well now that changes. In about 15-18 months I will be debt free. Forget debt, my money is now going to work for me. I'm 36 yrs old and plan to retire a millionaire! It's good to be weird😁
Dude, I'm in the EXACT same situation.
37 years old, about to get my class A and want to knock out 40k debt.
Only thing is I have to get my CDL on my own (didn't qualify for grants/loans).
Good luck man, keep in touch!
We're on the same page. Same age too. Step by step things are getting better.
Sounds like my story too. 😄
@@tyroneebusiness1594 I didn't realize I had replies here. Since I posted that comment, I took control of my money, paid off my credit cards and closed them. I was able to buy a house just two months ago. I made sure I got into a mortgage that I can easily pay along with all bills plus have left over. Sometimes I slide into a little too much spending but when I realize I'm sliding back, I give myself a pep talk and remind myself that I came from being broke and don't want to go back. Stay focused!
@@tyroneebusiness1594 I hope it all went well with getting your cdl.
I am still in debt. But man my family's finances is coming together nicely :)
Same here, getting there!
That's a blessing.
I found this at 18 and I think I've preemptively fixed my future.
I remember the first time I saw my account with 1,000 dollars (saved) even in debt that felt amazing. I was like: "Its posible to save money" after years hearing we can't save money. Thats why for me that's the most important babystep. Small victories in BS1 and BS2 are important.
Life changing advice, really. So simple, yet no one teaches us this in school
"Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN 🏃♀️. "
My first time listening to Mr. Ramsey was at Bishop TD Jakes Mega Feast in Atlanta, GA. In 2005. He had animal planet videos of Gazelles being chased by the Chetah. His seminar was intense!
I bought Financial Peace University for $99. I set everything in place. It changed our lives. I never regret the day I made the decision to listen to Mr. Ramsey.
His method works! BABY STEPS WORK!
dave will never suffer from low blood pressure...with that gazelle intesity....i love this guy and the biblical values he shares
I worked enough overtime last week to cover step 1. Tonight I created a nifty pay off "calendar" to post in my bedroom so it's the first thing I see when I wake up. it's 9 pages (9 different debts) in order from lowest to highest. Each page has the name of one debt in large bold font and in small font at the bottom has the remaining debts. So each time I pay off the debt and go to the next page I have a clear reminder of what I'm attacking while also seeing the debt list get smaller and smaller. We
Life changing in just a few months. Thank you so much! I listen to these videos over and over again.
Conradia Wells do it now!
You really need to have this course on video in high schools. And colleges. That is where it will have the most effect because time = money.
I'll be 39 this year time to start now. Wish i'd seen this in my 20's but my time is now. Seems simple. Waiting on this refund i'll put that $1000 in savings. I make $28000/yr. Wish me luck guys
Kimberly M You got this! One step at a time. I just started as well. I’m 35. Have a great day.
Go for it you got this
Good luck girl. You got this!
💪💪💪
Good luck, have u made a good start?
I am so grateful I came across Dave Ramsey. I am learning alot, the first loan of 80k paid off today. Started my emergency fund, and paying off the other loans using the snowball method. Glory to God 🙏
Reading books has really skyrocket the way I think about investing. Indeed, no one has ever got rich by saving money. If you want to become financially free, You need to Invest. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.
Yeah, You're Right! According to a book writer; ‘What everyone needs is to work with a financial advisor, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in profit.
Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *Jenny Pamogas Canaya,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner.||
I've come across several positive endorsements of Jenny Pamogas Canaya on various platforms, including TH-cam channels, seminars, and more._
Thanks to these recommendations, I successfully located her online profile and have already reached out to her with a message
I wish I would have known about Dave Ramsey while in my 20's but thankful that I have found him now in my 40's.
same 41 and just started watching him. Ugh wish i knew sooner
26 and starting today! Landed a good job a little less than 2 years ago, I’ll be at 6 figures by next year. I’m changing my life. I will be a millionaire in my 30’s. I’ll come back and update this someday in the future.
Thanks dad, i mean dave!

Lol
LOL I just had this talk with my oldest son, and he's almost thirty nine.
He's like a dad to me too. Because my real dad never taught me none of this!
I watch this when i think about getting a car loan.
nathan hardy i saw this after I got my car loan 🤦🏼♂️
Joshua Garza same here using this now to pay off my car loan
Mark Arbuckle Same here, got a car loan and now I'm aggressively trying to pay it off
nathan hardy well I was thinking about selling my perfectly great car to get another one and spend another 7 to 8,000 dollars to get it. Now on the other hand... not doing it!
Joshua Guerra BUT...ya Don't need a car LOAN to get to wotk.
I found Dave at 25. I live in CA and am now 32 and am super stable. No debt and so much freedom. I’m not a million by any means but if anything were to happen tomorrow I wouldn’t feel scared.
This has really helped me. I'm absolutely fed up with being in debt!
I’m 27. I have 5000 in savings. A 750 credit score and will be graduating from college next year with 40000 in student loans. This video has definitely got me motivated to jump start these student loans. Thank you Dave!
Yes, get rid of those loans STAT!
Did u got rid of them?
Hows it going?
I'm about to graduate college debt free thanks to Dave. :)
Congratulations!
Wow
Congratulations 🎉 🎉
You are blessed 🙌
I’ve been hearing so much of Dave Ramsey from the you tubers that I watch and decided I should see what the fuss is all about. I’m totally gonna do this. I’m gonna get to step 3 by my birthday.
Mary Snodgrass he’s changed my life! Found him a year ago. I’m almost debt free. Two more months. 38k paid off, credit card cut up!
Mary Snodgrass me too
Michael Kite wow! Amazing
So so happy i am now a fan of Dave Ramsey and his teachings......bring on 2020!
What i love about dave is the no bullshit approach and the clear concise unmistakable steps. Too many speakers talk in circles. Not dave. Thank you for this.
I need to find a guru like this who is this intense about weight loss! My finances have never looked better after reading Total Money Makeover!
Hello homewood high school seniors in Economics
My school isn’t perfect, but I’m honestly so glad that this school is trying to teach us about money. This is a real skill that we really need.
First rule of college “pay cash!!!!” 👌🏿🙌🏾
I remember watching his entire presentations in one of my financial literacy class and I never cared for his word. I’m 27 now, just paid off my $20k loan in 3 years which was scheduled for 7 years. I’m debt free and all I have is income flowing in now! 🙏🏼
I want to be debt free! I want this so bad!
Samantha Jacobo Start! It doesn’t have to be exactly how he says. Take his advice and modify it to your life. Google or TH-cam Dave Ramsey and others have shared how they got started. You can do it. One small step will give you hope
Just keep following plan and you will. This stuff works, Good luck!
Hope u went through it
We got this! Be discipline.
RUNNNN!!
I'm 41 just found about Dave Ramsey because I was helping my son earn a credit for his junior HS year. I wish I would of found him when I was in HS. I guess it's never too late. My 3 boys will be taught his lessons. My husband and I will start now.
Dave Ramsey is the greatest man alive ❤️ He has helped me stay out of debt.
I’m 23 and learning now! I love it 🥰
Me too. Knocking off my debt ASAP. I am on Baby step #2
You two are so lucky to discover this guy so young 😊
Great age! This is that time to take steps for a wonderful future.
Same 💯🕳🐇
I found him in my mid 30s and in 4 years my husband and I are from step 1 to step 6 and will be totally free paid off house in 10 to 13 years with retirement funding each year now. Thank you Dave Ramsey!!!
Thank you Jesus! This is the EXACT video I needed today. Been listening to his videos since yesterday. Today I've been wondering/thinking on how to approach paying of my bills. Just heard... start at the smallest then to the biggest owed debts. THANK YOU GOD! I can do that!!!!! I already feel financial freedom forming within my mind and spirit! My poor husband has been talking about this for years (SAVING) and I didn't listen. I took no action. Today I see that I have been wrong. God has made that very clear to me. No shame just GUT HONEST REALITY in my face. If I don't own it - I cannot move forward!
Thank you Dave! I feel so inspired to do this now. I heard about Dave like 7 years ago but I couldn’t fully practice it. We saved sometimes and sometimes raised our emergency fund but we didn’t focus enough to get out of debt and because of that we haven’t seen the results we really want. After hearing this video I’m determine to follow every baby step with commitment and focus from now on because there’s no more time and money to waste anymore. We need to get back on track!!! Like Dave said in this video, it’s not his program that fails is US. We’re the ones that free ourselves from the gazelle, not Dave. Now I get it! It’s time to change my behavior with money and start following Dave’s advise carefully and faithfully to see results! 🙌🏻🙏
Im seriously going to teach my kids about finances. I really wish they tough me this when i was in school because this is actually a main priority knowing how to manage your money.
They don't want u to know all this at school or economy would crash
Just turned 18, thank god I found him right before I entered the real world
start your emergency fund :)
This is the best time to start. Good luck 😉 and never give up.
I found Uncle Dave Ramsey 2012! I wish I listened earlier. Baby Step 1
Good luck to everyone! WE CAN DO IT! It's never too late!
I didn't know that Mr Dave Ramsey was such a rockstar. Love him
Discovered Dave at 39 and he blessed my life.
My husband and I are about to embark on this journey. Taking our 15 and 12 year old sons along for the ride so they do not make the same mistakes we did.
Thanks Dave Ramsey now I have 12k In savings. I have a budget now.
I have 50k
Important to watch it every year. I'm in step 4 and it reaffirms my confidence in his financial plan!
I'm 19 and have 6,000 in debt but luckily I'm already tired of being in debt and I still live free with my parents I plan on spending every penny I earn to clearing my debt
Dave Ramsey changed my financial life. Got in contact with Dave's books at 35 and today money runs errand for me and not the other way round. Thanks Dave.
We're on baby steps 4 & 6 (bs#5 is n/a for us).
We are focused. We work hard. We communicate. We have a peace of mind that is priceless and we don't take it for granted.
I found Dave Ramsey last year. Which i was 37. Im struggling thought this life. I have been wanting to call in talk to him. But im trying my hardest fix what i mess up.
You can do this, dont give up. Keep going even when you feel like giving up one step at a time will get you there.
