    6 WAYS I DISAGREE WITH DAVE RAMSEY ($1,000 emergency fund? Seriously??)
    I've got 99 problems, and Dave Ramsey's advice is some of them. Besides the advice that dave ramsey gives, there's other reason why I dont follow dave ramsey. I'll do a separate video on why i dont follow dave ramsey anymore, but here's why you should be careful when listening to the dave ramsey show: dave ramsey can be wrong and that's ok. Also several people have reported that dave ramsey ruined my credit score. If you understand the basics of personal finance which is to spend less than you make and you're asking yourself, "should i follow dave ramsey?" The dave ramsey baby steps are going to be very disappointing for you because you're going to be working a 9-5 for the rest of your life. The baby steps are outdated, dave ramsey has gone down a bitter hole (just ask Chris Hogan). I still think there's things that can be learned from dave ramsey in the realm of what NOT to do so i don't think dave ramsey canceled is a good thing, but why i no longer follow dave ramsey is revealed somewhat in this video and a future video of why chris hogan was fired.

    I am a finance counselor and I work for a university. Dave drives me crazy. In the modern world a good credit score requires a credit card and timely payments. Auto loans, mortgages, car insurance, getting an apartment all use credit scores. Just don't spend more than you can payback.

    I stumbled upon your videos by accident and I am not going to lie, your videos are the most honest ones out there with personal finance. I have been a Dave Ramsey fan for years but I also disagree with some of his teachings. I almost pulled the trigger on FCMT until I saw your videos about it and how I agree way more with you and your philosophy on finance. I hope to be able to save up and be apart of your team because it seems great. Keep doing what you are doing!! I know this is an old video but it was a good one.

    AGREE! Although we followed his plan, it wasn't to the T. If we only saved $1000 and our AC went out (in FL), we'd be right back in debt. And our credit score gave us lower interest rates, better credit card offers, etc. He also does a lot of shaming "debt is dumb" is my least favorite phrase. Thanks for all of this!

    Jess, I do not know why $1000 is the bar for Baby Step 1. My understanding is that it functions simply as a STARTER Emergency Fund completed prior to beginning to pay off ALL debt, Baby Step 2. I don't think he had the adjustment for inflation in mind. It's a baby step- a nice round number - to build confidence and a little cushion to offset any emergency that might crop up. Some folks living paycheck to paycheck NEVER save anything. In other words, I think his suggestion is more MENTAL than MATH- a feel-good accomplishment for folks who need a jump-start to the goal of a fully-funded EMERGENCY FUND of a 3 to 6-month cushion to cover living expenses. Everyone has to start somewhere, right? Enter the $1K STARTER Emergency Fund.

    • @FinancialCoachJess
      @FinancialCoachJess  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, Trisha, thanks for the feedback. I definitely understand the idea and theory behind baby step 1 and I think it’s super important to have a starter emergency fund. The problem is that the amount is not accurate and Dave insists on the fact that anything over $1000 is a bad idea because that money should be going to debt. When confronted about the inflation of the $1000, he is still unwilling to change his stance. Like I say in the video, if we want to communicate the importance of a starter emergency fund in a more accurate way that would work for people not ONLY in the mid west but in high cost of living as well, a percentage would be a great fit.

    I agree with you on the credit card point. I paid off my credit cards and bought a car. I managed to pay it off more than a year early. I went to a bank for my car loan so that would be easier to do. My sinking funds are fully funded and I invested in Bookkeeper launch. I just let my car payment deduction from my paycheck stay the same and less than 1/2 of that is going for that each month. I feel any plan has to be adapted and you can't do that until you get your nagging debts paid off.

Now with that being said , of course most of the expenses or possible situations would be inputted in the budget I would say. That’s my opinion because that what I do.

    First off, it is good to be frugal and debt free. I was in debt as a result of a divorce and losing my spousal support which I depended on to supplement my low income. My rent was raised and I couldn 't make it. The Ramsey method doesn't help if you cannot afford to feed yourself. Snowballing still leaves you with nothing to eat. That was 29 years ago and I have been debt free since then. However, Ramsey's method, as you said doesn't apply to everyone. Yet preppers encourage it.

    As a self made multimillionaire who started from nothing, I 100% agree with all of these points. The majority of the Dave's audience are sort of dead beats if you listen to the people who call in - they are people who live in the middle of the country, make 40K/year and are in 100K of debt and have little savings. People in this financial situation need a "drill sargent" very strict type of program because they aren't capable of using a credit card responsibly, saving money, etc. His beliefs are not for six figure income earners who are responsible with managing investments, using credit cards responsibly and don't have consumer debt and who want to become multimillionaires. His most ridiculous teaching is to only pay cash for rental properties. That is a joke. I own 10 rental properties in Boston and Cape Cod, MA. The average 1 bedroom condo in Boston is 800K. If I had waited until I had enough cash to buy them, I would be waiting until I was about 450 years old. That is not realistic and ridiculous to save up and pay cash for rental properties meanwhile they are appreciating 5, 10, 15% per year and interest rates have been 2-4% for the past 10 years. Your savings will never catch up to the appreciation in good markets.

If you buy in or near Boston, SF, NYC, LA or similar blue chip areas, cash on cash returns are lower, but I promise you the appreciation in the long run will make you a fortune and the hassle factor managing tenants in those areas will be zero.

    Baby step 3 is where you actually begin to seriously fund your emergency fund. The $1000 emergency fund in baby step 1 is really just a psychological and moral victory for people in debt and to be able to say "I could handle a $400 emergency" while you pay off (snowball) your debt (baby step 2). If you tell someone who has no mastery over money to save $10000 first, it will never happen. The snowball method of debt paying is also a psychological victory vs paying highest interest off first.

    I have issues with his feelings about student loan debt. When I sent my daughter off to college this year I was okay with her taking out the federal loans she was offered. Over her 4 years the max she can take out is $27k, far less than even a low-ball one year's salary post-graduation and a manageable amount to pay off in a reasonable time. I feel her having some ownership of her education costs are important, because we've all seen what happens when kids have expensive things handed to them...The other issue with his take on college is not all campuses are the right fit for a student. The great big state school might not be the right fit, and that small private school might be perfect. There's a reason graduation rates are higher at private schools after all. I definitely agree that people shouldn't go into $100k of student loan debt to get a degree, but that only happens when the PARENTS take on more loans. The kids are limited to the 27k in federal and usually can't get more than that through private loans without a parent co-signing (enabling) them. DR and AO never talk abut the nuances. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on student loans.

      The amount borrowed is moot if you don’t receive (not earn) a worthwhile degree you cannot parlay into a decent starting salary. You should have a serious conversation with your daughter about what her plans are after graduation. If she’s going for any Bachelor of Arts degree, consider the loans wasted money. If you cannot have a serious reality check conversation about her future, don’t send her to college on borrowed money.

I had this thought because i was broke and built myself up to where I am now Witt absolutely no credit.

      More recently some landlords are even checking credit of their tenets to be able to rent.

    Dave is only good for those who are heavily in debt and can't save money. He's pretty much the beginner level when it comes to getting control of your finances. But if anyone has at least a fair amount of finance literacy, then they'd know Dave Ramsey isn't always right (especially with his absolute hate towards credit cards)

    You are 100% right. I love Dave and believe he had helped millions of people but he is too simplistic. Giving up matched money is essentially the same as borrowing money at 100% interest in order to pay off debt in Baby Step #2. Not a good idea.

    Funny, I really love Dave, and 5 years ago I wouldn’t have even considered hearing you out on your disagreements. But over time I’ve learned that although his plan works, and his principles have never lead me wrong, that doesn’t mean that you have to follow his plan rigidly in order for it to work. We did not follow his plan to a T, because it honestly would have ended my marriage. My husband was not interested in “gazelle intense” and did not agree that credit cards and debt were evil. Part of me is really thankful to Dave for taking that strong stance, because it gave me the opportunity to learn how to be flexible and compromise with others for the sake of making a shared dream come true. If my husband had agreed to everything Dave said too, I would still be very stuck on the idea that credit cards are the root of all evil lol. Now I can actually help people bridge the gap between “normal people” thinking, and Dave’s beliefs.

    While I agree $1000 isn't enough, most people still don't even have that much saved so it's not a bad 1st step for those who struggle with this simple discipline. I think most people who stick with his plan decide to up that number on their own

    • @FinancialCoachJess

      @@FinancialCoachJess I found out when I started looking for an investment advisor. The people that his website recommended to me all had a really bad vibe. Then my cousin (who is a CPA) recommended somebody who wasn’t on his ELP list. He told me he had looked into it but would have had to pay a steep monthly rate to be promoted by Dave. Apparently anybody can do it, for any reason. Which means that they don’t actually have to have “the heart of a teacher”, as Dave says. They just have to have the money to pay for the endorsement.

    • @FinancialCoachJess
      @FinancialCoachJess  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct, it’s the same with the financial coaches on his website too. They have to go through his training and then they pay a pretty steep price, I think it’s still $150/month just to be listed. And the way they list it, each coach is recommended with a couple other coaches (but not based on the clients needs, it’s based on proximity which never really made sense to me??) so it created a weird competitive environment and the people that were looking for a Coach usually got pretty turned off by it. Such a shame!

      @@FinancialCoachJess Jess, All I was saying is Ramsey is appealing to a different crowd. Hes appealing to the paycheck to paycheck, the 5 credit cards all carrying a balance with a bunch of missed payments. He's a way to take people from that world where the first little step is to save $1000... it wouldn't matter if it was $500, or $1500, or $1800 with inflation from 1992. Its a first step for someone to realize a world other than payments, missed payments, interest thrown on top of missed payments and bankruptcy. Dave is less of a financial plan than he is drama. All you have to do is listen to the calls that get highlighted in his little youtube snips taken from his daily 2hr show. Dave didn't really teach me anything I didn't know, and I certainly didn't follow his order, he just has a plan, sells it well, and helps people do the first few steps to becoming debt free, then most people will look other places. I had some debt I cleaned up, but I didn't stop investments, didn't stop at $1000... He can have all the flaws he wants in his system, but what he has is consistency, and sells it well. The reason $1000 is enough in his mind is the same reason he'd tell someone to take a loss on an upside down auto loan at $30k, then go borrow 5k to buy a cheaper one. if you have a 6 month emergency fund but still owe the equivalent in debt, the net is zero... that is all I was getting at...

      I totally get that. Obviously, if I were in debt and looking for a plan I would want step 1 to be something a little more concrete than the equivalent “believe in yourself” 😆 which is what people defend his $1000 emergency fund to basically be.

      Depends on where you live. I went to school in Springfield, MO and $2k goes a lonnnng way. A friend of mine lives in Denver and $2k would not cover one month of rent for her. I agree that it makes sense to correlate the emergency fund with cost of living. The problem is that cost of living varies so much by region!
