Its a bit concerning that a 23 year old who owns 2 business, manages 50 million in commercial real estate and has 250k in cash doesn't know if he can buy a car or which way to buy one...
I find it amusing that when broke people who are saddled down with debt call into the show people comment that it makes them "feel better about their lives", but when young and successful people call in they whine and complain. Here's an idea, stop comparing yourself to others, maximize your own potential and live your own life.
I don't see many of these "feel better about my life" comments that you're referring to. Most people are empathetic and supportive unless the person calling in has done something blatantly stupid. People have every right to be suspect of the caller's intent. If you have all this money, why are you calling into a talk show to ask this relatively simple question? Why not contact your financial advisor? If you can manage $50MM in commercial real estate, then you're surely shrewd enough to make the correct decision on how/where to spend your $50k. I'm not hating on the guy; I'm glad to hear that people are doing well. It's likely that much of this has been inherited or he's in partnership with a family member.
@@erimei8478 Agreed. You typically don't just manifest 250k thousand a year at age 23 without some serious help either through financing, connections and/or advisors (i.e., people that basically did everything or told you ever step of the way what to do). I'm not knocking the guy either, good for him for having that opportunity, but let's not pretend that it's an impressive accomplishment. What will start to be impressive is if he maintains that or grows it significantly over a period of time.

@@omaxman1 I know plenty of people that have family that work in real estate. They basically hook them up with investments and their set. They work for their families. I know this girl that got a house for a very low sum due to the fact that her mother is a real estate agent. She basically lives for free and rents the other rooms and lives off the cash flow of the smaller properties her mother let's her "manage".
You would have to ask this caller what he means by that statement, but to many people, it means that they like automotive design, engineering, performance, etc. Check out Scotty Kilmer's TH-cam channel, and tell me that "big car guy" means that everything has to be big with an updated lifestyle. There are many humble people who just like cars.
When you say "I'm a big car guy" it just means he's really into cars, loves cars, could tell you what kind of headlight is on a 67 nova. Not literally likes "big" cars.
Toks I mean clearly he does. He’s talking about financing a vehicle and using his cash reserves to buy more properties when the global economy is on the brink of a serious meltdown......
He definitely does. He’s trying to finance a depreciating asset...So he’s effectively KILLING himself in interest and depreciation, and it’s unnecessary because he has cash. Not only that but he has the cash to buy rental properties outright, and he’s on track to sink himself when the economy collapses because he thinks he’s doing great by buying more real estate with other peoples money...That’s what they all say. But really you’re just buying investments you can’t afford, and someday you’ll pay for them.
As usual a lot of salty comments accusing the kid of "calling in to brag". Newsflash it's not just broke people who want advice or who want to bounce ideas off others. Good work kid, keep striving for greatness.
Honestly if you're lucky to still be working and have savings/cash, you aren't worried and you're buying up stocks and investments as fast as you can while the getting is good. Things will recover and go back up and those in a position to be able to take advantage of it now will be in great shape in a few years, just like after the crash in 2008.
TeKnoVKNG23 things don’t just infinitely go up forever..... it’s okay to buy up investments but why would you take on more leverage at this point, the storm is just starting.

Kunal Sab BMWs can be a maintenance nightmare. I would definitely like to purchase a car from the 80’s or 90’s to keep for a long time as a fun second car. With everything moving to hybrid or EV, having an E36, Mk4 Supra, RX-7, R32 GTr, etc would be priceless kn the future!
I took the car plunge this year. I added a $800 1995 Pathfinder to my $800 1990 F-250 in the driveway! Both, thus far, are able to get me to work and back too.
@@cm01 - I prefer Toyota over Honda, maybe next year. But in my state, vehicles over 29 years old do not have to have the yearly inspection, so on a 1990 camry or accord, the check engine soon light could burn bright forever !

Leverage... The best example of companies running on debt are the airlines. They borrow money on something much bigger than a car and can fly but still goes down in value by $millions.
Wow much wisdom just dropped...”look in the mirror when you start saying who needs...” “you can be just as proud of what you don’t have as of what you do”
I can change my own oil but it's not worth my time so I pay someone else to. You don't have to be a gear head to like cars. Pretty much all pilots I know don't do anything mechanical related on planes yet still love to fly.
He is wrong about it being envy. I am perfectly content with my 2006 SUV and I have a fantastic life. There is no way I would buy a $400k car regardless of how much money I had. There are too many other places I would rather see it go. That is not to say I don't think anyone else should buy one if they can; but I most assuredly am not envious.
A Corvette actually saved me from marrying a spendthrift materialistic woman. I had a girlfriend in her 20s who bought herself a new Corvette. She still lived with her parents. She wanted me to use my life savings to buy us a house while hers went to the new Corvette. I told her that was not fair and not good stewardship. She really wanted to marry me and she was very pushy about it even though I had never proposed. I cancelled her wedding plans and got on with my life. I was heartbroken but better off. I felt like I had dodged a bullet. I later found out that she had bought an expensive engagement ring for herself, apparently in an attempt to be deceptive. I certainly never gave her a ring! This occurred right after I had broken up with her. Her extravagant spending made it clear that she was not good with money If you can’t trust someone with money, then you certainly can’t trust them with something even more valuable, your heart ❤️ 😇
It always bothers me when people list irrelevent things. The title is saying: "can I buy x at y" when it should be saying "can i buy x at z" (z being a financial postion independent of age).
risk factor also needs to be accounted for. Risk of an accident in a high performance car driven by a 23 year old has an inherently higher fifure. So there's that variable.
For me is not about how much money you have. If I have 250k cash and want a 55k car I will finance it. The reason is simple. My money is better invested than buying cash for a depreciating asset. To each their own
Everyone has something fake about them, whether they wear makeup, dye their hair, the car they drive etc If people weren't looking for attention they wouldn't have mirrors
I wish I could spend 50k on a rig, my wife and I make 280k a year take home and I cringed when I paid 20k for a truck 10 years ago Dave Ramsey broke me I’m addictive to saving money and highly allergic to spending after following his steps
It’s a wonderful thing to have a rich life and I’m glad for him. One of my goals one day to be in that position. I especially admire those who’ve achieved success at a early age. I will say, I hope he can find people in his life to help humble him. It really wasn’t necessary to phone in and ask a question the caller already knew the answer to. Just enjoy the blessings life has to offer you, no need to talk or brag about it.
All the replies seem to think people only want money for themselves. That only reflects on your own selfishness!! What is the best part of step 7? GIVE and leave a legacy for your bloodline. The higher the number you can have, the better for everybody! Like dave said in this very video, tall poppy syndrome. If anyone gets ahead, everyone else wants to cut them back down.
@@s.flanders so when hes 90 and he wonders where his money went, adrian at 23 was the reason? Pissing your money away at 23 will make the 50 year old wonder when he will call it quits?
@@JK20239 There can be balance between pissing your money away at 23 and saving until you're 90. There is nothing wrong with affording yourself pleasures that cost money while you're young, as long as you make enough money to be financially secure long term, i.e. for the rest of your life. If a certain car can make you happier (and that can indeed be the case for people who like cars) and you can easily buy it (debt-free) at 23, why wait until you're 30 or 40 or later? Just to compound that money for some years? Again, to what end?
Don’t do it, things can always go sideways. Especially if your leveraged and you suddenly get Low tenancy your house will go back to the bank. Wait there’s gonna be Carmageddon coming soon you could probably get the 2019 model for like 35K.
I'll mention this...he should look into the cost to own/insurance/resale value and even practical use to the car. He says he lives in Florida, the weathers nice sure...but should also look into possibly having another car so hes not throwing tons of miles and ware on the vet. Hes young-dumb, and is low key flexing on everyone, he knows the answer. Plus hes gonna buy the car anywayz.
The caller is right 100%, why finance a car which I can imagine his credit is amazing he should be able to get 3-5% interest loan. Take that money put it into appreciating asset, and get a higher return on it. I can easily get 16-24% return with that money in a risk free way with low income housing rentals. By the time the car is payed off with a 5 year loan the house you bought payed for the car. I can name a million ways where that money would be better off than buying the car cash this is a no brainer. Debt is okay if you are stable.
Checklist for purchasing a brand new vehicle: A) Net worth of 1 million (in other words, you can afford to throw tens of thousands of dollars out the window and not feel it), B) No debt other than home mortgage, C) Not more than 1/3 of your annual take home pay. Age is irrelevant. I can't imagine why someone who embraces debt would ask this of Ramsey.
Dave Ramsey comment sections are so funny. We end up with one of two things every time: 1. People saying "why is this caller so stupid, how could you make such bad financial decisions?!" Or 2. "Why is this person calling to brag about their wealth!"
23 years old first time car loan will be 11% (newer car) for 6 years (typical term on semi-new). In his loan he will include: Loan Ask: $55,000 Sales Tax (6% in FL): $3,400 Registration: $33.00 Sum total of loan: $58,433.00 (Could be paid CASH or......) Bank holds his note and finances for $58,433... Monthly payment for 72 months: $1,047.00 Total pay off amount: $75,384. Interest to be paid: $16,951.00... THAT'S $16,951.00 IN INTEREST !!!!!!!!!!! Is he reaaaallllyyyy the successfull person he is asking such a stupid question..........?
This guy is in real estate and wants to finance 55k car in middle of pandemic? He will be broke after this coronavirus shenanigans is done with us, rip
It's not about your age, it's about having your finances in check. If you buy a used vehicle, make sure it's no more than 2 years old, has 20k - 30k miles and has at least 1.5 - 2 years left on the warranty. Especially if you're paying cash.
Used toyota or honda -are great even the very old ones because they can go 200-300k miles with minimal repairs. They hold value because of their good rep. Only used cars I would advise and you can get 10-15 yr old ones that have a ton of life in them.
My cousin has a 2015 Z06 with the Z07 package sitting on a lift in his garage with 3000 miles on it. He never uses it. It's impossible to enjoy on public roads. If you don't have access to a track, it's not worth buying. Let the guy buy the car. He will most likely regret it in short time.

I really like how he didn't say be wasn't doing something wrong, just that it was different approach and values and still being successful
“Big car guys” means everything has to be big. Lifestyle will always be updated.
You would have to ask this caller what he means by that statement, but to many people, it means that they like automotive design, engineering, performance, etc. Check out Scotty Kilmer's TH-cam channel, and tell me that "big car guy" means that everything has to be big with an updated lifestyle. There are many humble people who just like cars.
@@DriverDude100 well said. Some people just like to prioritize money spent on vehicles rather than other aspects in life.
When you say "I'm a big car guy" it just means he's really into cars, loves cars, could tell you what kind of headlight is on a 67 nova. Not literally likes "big" cars.
wut, no, it means they like really cars, like you probably like other things in life
This caller needs no advice🚶🏽♀️
Toks I mean clearly he does. He’s talking about financing a vehicle and using his cash reserves to buy more properties when the global economy is on the brink of a serious meltdown......
Ryan
Yep!
He definitely does. He’s trying to finance a depreciating asset...So he’s effectively KILLING himself in interest and depreciation, and it’s unnecessary because he has cash. Not only that but he has the cash to buy rental properties outright, and he’s on track to sink himself when the economy collapses because he thinks he’s doing great by buying more real estate with other peoples money...That’s what they all say. But really you’re just buying investments you can’t afford, and someday you’ll pay for them.
If he is truly Dave's fan, he definitely knows what he would say🤷
I really agree with Dave about who “needs” something. Age and needs don’t matter, ratios do.
Used car is a smart purchase. He sounds like he is pretty good with money, so go for it brotha!
Dont fool yourself.
I like what this new guy contributes to the conversation.
That caller is doing real well. Only a matter of time before I see it for myself! Shoutouts to that kid!
What’s up on that update
How many people clicked on this just to find out what car he was considering buying? We all knew what Daves's financial advice would be.
Love Dave's response, "Yes, you have a car fleece."
Me at 23 years old watching cow and chicken, your Awesome !!!
As usual a lot of salty comments accusing the kid of "calling in to brag". Newsflash it's not just broke people who want advice or who want to bounce ideas off others. Good work kid, keep striving for greatness.
Wow this guy is awesome. He's killing it
The caller is the rent collector for his parents' property company. In no way will a 23 year old guy can be in that kind of business.
To this young man, if you're not trolling, keep up the good work. But don't fly too close to the sun
Humble brag
joseph windsor
Better than humble broke.
Damm I am still scrolling down for the comment section 😆
I said once and I’ll say it again. That’s that Florida lifestyle right there.
The doctor didn’t agree with Dave on this one, you can tell.
he was hating
For someone that is so successful they seem kind of unaware of what’s happening in the global financial world right now.
Honestly if you're lucky to still be working and have savings/cash, you aren't worried and you're buying up stocks and investments as fast as you can while the getting is good. Things will recover and go back up and those in a position to be able to take advantage of it now will be in great shape in a few years, just like after the crash in 2008.
TeKnoVKNG23 things don’t just infinitely go up forever..... it’s okay to buy up investments but why would you take on more leverage at this point, the storm is just starting.
@@TeKnoVKNG23
There's plenty of falls to come atm but if you're in it for the long haul then go for it
I was starting my post college life living in a trailer park at that age.
Being a car guy, I understand this question 100%.
Being a bmw owner i hate this question
Kunal Sab Ahhh yes the maintenance. I would love to purchase an E36 M3 in the near future before prices rise.
@@rrennnerr not really maintaining bro...i got cash....not bragging....point is always got some problems and i bought 5 series new 5 years ago....going for lexus next time....avoid bmw my man...just being honest
Kunal Sab BMWs can be a maintenance nightmare. I would definitely like to purchase a car from the 80’s or 90’s to keep for a long time as a fun second car. With everything moving to hybrid or EV, having an E36, Mk4 Supra, RX-7, R32 GTr, etc would be priceless kn the future!
Kunal, go with the Lexus. I love the two I have.
This call was like a volleyball spike to the face for the caller. 😂
I took the car plunge this year. I added a $800 1995 Pathfinder to my $800 1990 F-250 in the driveway! Both, thus far, are able to get me to work and back too.
If that's all you need to do sell those and get an '05 Civic or something. The amount of gas you'd save would be hundreds a year.
@@cm01 - I prefer Toyota over Honda, maybe next year. But in my state, vehicles over 29 years old do not have to have the yearly inspection, so on a 1990 camry or accord, the check engine soon light could burn bright forever !
I would love to see Dave's car collection!
im 24 and just financed a 39k Kia Stinger gt2. I have 30k in stocks and work a full-time job. I make 60k annually and I am happy going and coming from work. LIVE YOUR LIFE RESPONSIBLY PEOPLE
Respect.
Call in just to flex 💪🏼
Let’s gooooo
Leverage... The best example of companies running on debt are the airlines. They borrow money on something much bigger than a car and can fly but still goes down in value by $millions.
Cant stand these fake flexers that call in bullshiting about their fake incomes..
I did, V8 commodore MY2016. $46,000 AUD Purchased outright. Never get a car loan!
Holdens are nice. Proud owner of a 2006 GTO/Holden Monaro. Thank you Australia! (From Texas)
OMG! The insurance!
He can afford it
It’s not that much.
The standard for most people of what is "excessive" is what they cannot afford to get.
Best Dave Ramsey sermon that I've heard in a while! Love the analysis of the nature and purpose of wealth
Wow much wisdom just dropped...”look in the mirror when you start saying who needs...” “you can be just as proud of what you don’t have as of what you do”
Just about all “car guys” I know can’t even change their own oil.
Being a "car guy" doesn't have to mean you are knowledgable on cars. It can just mean you enjoy them.
I can change my own oil but it's not worth my time so I pay someone else to. You don't have to be a gear head to like cars. Pretty much all pilots I know don't do anything mechanical related on planes yet still love to fly.
"I'm a car guy" doesn't sounds quite as shallow as "I try to impress others with what I drive"
@@trollsymctroll5361 most people don't know what a Z06 is. I doubt he's buying it to impress other people.
@@trollsymctroll5361
Everyone buys nice stuff to look good and impress...so do I.
Clothes, watches, cars, jewelry
One of fave clips to date! Seeing more of Dave here. Loved how he gave the young man his vote to buy a that car.
He is wrong about it being envy. I am perfectly content with my 2006 SUV and I have a fantastic life. There is no way I would buy a $400k car regardless of how much money I had. There are too many other places I would rather see it go. That is not to say I don't think anyone else should buy one if they can; but I most assuredly am not envious.
Gone head and flex on'em real quick Uncle Dave.
A Corvette actually saved me from marrying a spendthrift materialistic woman. I had a girlfriend in her 20s who bought herself a new Corvette. She still lived with her parents. She wanted me to use my life savings to buy us a house while hers went to the new Corvette. I told her that was not fair and not good stewardship.
She really wanted to marry me and she was very pushy about it even though I had never proposed. I cancelled her wedding plans and got on with my life. I was heartbroken but better off. I felt like I had dodged a bullet. I later found out that she had bought an expensive engagement ring for herself, apparently in an attempt to be deceptive. I certainly never gave her a ring! This occurred right after I had broken up with her. Her extravagant spending made it clear that she was not good with money
If you can’t trust someone with money, then you certainly can’t trust them with something even more valuable, your heart ❤️ 😇
I haven’t even watched this yet. I paused it at 0:06 lol. The answer is “if they can afford it, go for it.”
This guy just came on here to flex real quick 💪
It always bothers me when people list irrelevent things. The title is saying: "can I buy x at y" when it should be saying "can i buy x at z" (z being a financial postion independent of age).
When you don’t get the “Better than I deserve” from Dave. 😂😂😂 0:09
risk factor also needs to be accounted for. Risk of an accident in a high performance car driven by a 23 year old has an inherently higher fifure. So there's that variable.
No it doesn't
What’s ironic is the ad at the start of this video was for a brand new $55,000 car 😂😂😂
For me is not about how much money you have. If I have 250k cash and want a 55k car I will finance it. The reason is simple. My money is better invested than buying cash for a depreciating asset. To each their own
He definitely can afford it right now but is highly leveraged.
fearlessreview what did Dave really mean by “leveraged’ comment?
He’s referring to the high amount of rental properties on mortgages/loans, high risk but high reward.
I did that at 21 lol 24 now and no regrets baby
Leverage is fine so long as you understand the terms of that leverage. Treating all debt as bad debt is an archaic way of thinking.
Nothing worst than fake. Guess he needed attention.
Everyone has something fake about them, whether they wear makeup, dye their hair, the car they drive etc If people weren't looking for attention they wouldn't have mirrors
Don’t be jealous, invest your time wisely and it will pay off
Um Worst is a valid word my dear. Thanks though
S A M you got me 😀
I wish I could spend 50k on a rig, my wife and I make 280k a year take home and I cringed when I paid 20k for a truck 10 years ago
Dave Ramsey broke me I’m addictive to saving money and highly allergic to spending after following his steps
Zach
On your incomes you can splash a little
Hey...God bless that young man..
It’s a wonderful thing to have a rich life and I’m glad for him. One of my goals one day to be in that position. I especially admire those who’ve achieved success at a early age. I will say, I hope he can find people in his life to help humble him. It really wasn’t necessary to phone in and ask a question the caller already knew the answer to. Just enjoy the blessings life has to offer you, no need to talk or brag about it.
*I just think about what one could do with that compounded over several decades* 📈
Make more money? To what end?
Well at a certain point you should also enjoy the fruits of your labor. To some extent.
All the replies seem to think people only want money for themselves. That only reflects on your own selfishness!! What is the best part of step 7? GIVE and leave a legacy for your bloodline. The higher the number you can have, the better for everybody!
Like dave said in this very video, tall poppy syndrome. If anyone gets ahead, everyone else wants to cut them back down.
@@s.flanders so when hes 90 and he wonders where his money went, adrian at 23 was the reason? Pissing your money away at 23 will make the 50 year old wonder when he will call it quits?
@@JK20239 There can be balance between pissing your money away at 23 and saving until you're 90. There is nothing wrong with affording yourself pleasures that cost money while you're young, as long as you make enough money to be financially secure long term, i.e. for the rest of your life.
If a certain car can make you happier (and that can indeed be the case for people who like cars) and you can easily buy it (debt-free) at 23, why wait until you're 30 or 40 or later? Just to compound that money for some years? Again, to what end?
Don’t do it, things can always go sideways. Especially if your leveraged and you suddenly get Low tenancy your house will go back to the bank. Wait there’s gonna be Carmageddon coming soon you could probably get the 2019 model for like 35K.
Daddy's money.
Literally almost every "car guy" I know had their family buy their car for them.
G Nope, I have. Guys around my age, early twenties with $30,000 cars?? And I know these people personally, yeah no, daddy’s money.
@@jonm.678 you just sound jealous 😂
I'll mention this...he should look into the cost to own/insurance/resale value and even practical use to the car. He says he lives in Florida, the weathers nice sure...but should also look into possibly having another car so hes not throwing tons of miles and ware on the vet.
Hes young-dumb, and is low key flexing on everyone, he knows the answer. Plus hes gonna buy the car anywayz.
Love you guys!
I love Dave Ramsey and listen to him almost everyday this episode was spot on props to you Mr Ramsay
The caller is right 100%, why finance a car which I can imagine his credit is amazing he should be able to get 3-5% interest loan. Take that money put it into appreciating asset, and get a higher return on it. I can easily get 16-24% return with that money in a risk free way with low income housing rentals. By the time the car is payed off with a 5 year loan the house you bought payed for the car. I can name a million ways where that money would be better off than buying the car cash this is a no brainer. Debt is okay if you are stable.
This guy is a STUD HELL YEAH
No. Video over.
6:00 Tall-poppy syndrome is so embedded in Australian culture, hence why we always cheer on the underdog.
Checklist for purchasing a brand new vehicle: A) Net worth of 1 million (in other words, you can afford to throw tens of thousands of dollars out the window and not feel it), B) No debt other than home mortgage, C) Not more than 1/3 of your annual take home pay. Age is irrelevant. I can't imagine why someone who embraces debt would ask this of Ramsey.
New corvette is not amazing!! They have poor QC , the interior stitches don’t line up👎👎
I was hoping for his best line, "well, that was stupid."
Dave Ramsey comment sections are so funny. We end up with one of two things every time:
1. People saying "why is this caller so stupid, how could you make such bad financial decisions?!"
Or
2. "Why is this person calling to brag about their wealth!"
23 years old first time car loan will be 11% (newer car) for
6 years (typical term on semi-new). In his loan he will include:
Loan Ask: $55,000
Sales Tax (6% in FL): $3,400
Registration: $33.00
Sum total of loan: $58,433.00 (Could be paid CASH or......)
Bank holds his note and finances for $58,433...
Monthly payment for 72 months: $1,047.00
Total pay off amount: $75,384.
Interest to be paid: $16,951.00... THAT'S $16,951.00 IN INTEREST !!!!!!!!!!! Is he reaaaallllyyyy the successfull person he is asking such a stupid question..........?
Excellent video!
Respect. 💯👍
This guy is in real estate and wants to finance 55k car in middle of pandemic? He will be broke after this coronavirus shenanigans is done with us, rip

Whatever you say.
age doesnt matter, income matters.
You can have whatever you want if you can afford it
Even if you could afford it, it's not a wise purchase. Takes one unforeseen circumstance to change his outlook to bankruptcy.
I hate your name
Mr. Negative The Negative Man am so sorry you feel that way
Joshua then he’ll learn from that experience, sometimes that’s how some people learn unfortunately
@@bosshismoney4424 😂
Here in Australia we do not mind humble succesful people but when you brag and think your better than the rest than the tall poppy syndrome comes in.
What a ridiculous call.
It's not about your age, it's about having your finances in check. If you buy a used vehicle, make sure it's no more than 2 years old, has 20k - 30k miles and has at least 1.5 - 2 years left on the warranty. Especially if you're paying cash.
Used toyota or honda -are great even the very old ones because they can go 200-300k miles with minimal repairs. They hold value because of their good rep. Only used cars I would advise and you can get 10-15 yr old ones that have a ton of life in them.
My cousin has a 2015 Z06 with the Z07 package sitting on a lift in his garage with 3000 miles on it. He never uses it. It's impossible to enjoy on public roads. If you don't have access to a track, it's not worth buying. Let the guy buy the car. He will most likely regret it in short time.
