Bro….$16/hr….two kids…..I remember when I made $16/hr in 2016 with no kids and it was one of the hardest struggles if my life.
How much now?
@@jenjenjenhi how much now what?
@@righand I think she’s asking how much do you make now
@@Lixx34899 $200K plus or minus
Gotta job hop or inflation will eat away your salary. No company gives you a solid raise until you find a different job
True
Facts
Job changes are a must but with so many bills how is he going to afford the changes?
I get it. Rent is getting harder to pay every month for us too. We’re stuck. My husband can’t work a second job because of his work schedule, and if I was to work, the money I’d make would go to daycare. It’s so frustrating!
Try Caps. I just got qualified and they have a special scholarship going on that pays the full amount.
So get a job that covers the cost of daycare and then some OR get a pt work from home job OR start a small business out of your home on the side.
Start an online business.
Maybe you could baby sit and maybe your husband can works nights share the kids
Ya it's tough, I hear you.
I'm impressed he's only making $16 an hour and still able to support a wife and two kids. After he gets a new job with better pay, hopefully they can avoid lifestyle inflation.
It's not that impressive if you know how to actually manage your money..
It takes a lot of self control to basically have no life to save every penny. It’s sad though that he has to do that.
@@bluesky5384 but you also can't ignore the fact that he put himself in that situation. If you think $16 an hour isn't enough to raise a family, you shouldn't have started a family to begin with. I say that as someone who had a child young and had to learn the hard way. It wasn't a good experience and if I had the chance to do it again, I would have made better choices.
$11 in his state is Minimum wage... here in Arizona you'd be lucky to make 15 an hour ... Easy to talk..
@@Pinkielover considering the median individual income is a little over $15 in Arizona, I think your statement is skewed by your own personal bias. That's still a liveable wage regardless. My state is significantly more expensive than Arizona (especially for housing) and it's feasible to live on $10/hour.
I had an income issue. My wife and I were just making enough to get by so I started searching for jobs that pay with no college education. Was working in a warehouse for $21/hr. Then decided to get my CDL now I make $95k/yr driving a truck and home everyday. Work is hard but you will reap the rewards if you just put in the effort.
Yep, you decided you needed to get skills/credentials for a new better paying job. Seems this guy needs to do the same thing.
How much effort does it take to allow them to inject you?
Good for you. 95 k is more than most college grads make. So many people make excuses, instead of actually making changes.
What company do you drive for? My family drives trucks and don’t make that much
95k and home every night trucking..i never heard of that..must be a food vendor or fuel hauler..or liar
Working less hours in a stress-free environment to enjoy family sounds like a good lifestyle choice for some ppl who enjoy quiet life.
I mean, that's great as long as you can still pay your housing costs...
Pamela Vesey yes, thing only thing is....stress-free and less hours is great, but don't let it sneak up on you when it comes to retirement and you have to "double down" to catch up financially.
Sounds like an excuse to be lazy to me. How many people have a stress free job where they work few hours? Only broke people or maybe someone who is so wealthy they don't need to work.
@@haywood4299 Is it still an excuse if your body starts shutting down? asking for a friend
@@nyxxiah2116 I learned in the military that your mind shuts down long before your body does. What most people consider harsh conditions today was a easy day not all that long ago.
To everyone going after Ken for mentioning Wal-Mart: He's referring to their national headquarters being in that area. That's why he said Bentonville, Arkansas. Not a normal "Walmart" job. Walmart is still bigger than Amazon so getting a corporate job at national headquarters could be a good paying option in his local area.
Even regular Walmart, if you stick around awhile, can make $20+ an hour.
Yea, everyone knows Walmart is headquartered in Arkansas. Thanks for the lesson.
I’m here right now in Bentonville for the Walmart/Sam’s shareholders meeting and it’s a beautiful clean affordable low crime place to live!
@@John3.36 Team leads make around 25-26 an hour in fresh in Colorado currently
This will come to a head eventually. Insane housing prices and insane rent prices will just force people to live at home indefinitely. It doesn’t come from entitlement, it comes from necessity. 500k for the median house now.
Or this is another bubble. If rent / house prices, food, fuel etc all increase dramatically across the board, if wages to not keep up, its unsustainable. Time to buckle up for a rough ride.
It will crash not sustainable i you will see
Not in Tennessee, they are up $75k but still way under $500k , 200 will get a decent house , $350 will get you a really nice house. People seem to forget they can move...
Van life is the future
@@Yandel21ableify only need a $100k to buy one... Better off buying a house. It was shocking to see how much it cost to do that, it was equally as shocking to see how much it cost to live in a 17 to 20 ft travel trailer. I quickly realized that buying a condo would be cheaper and easier in long run.
Caller: I have serious issues
The Ramsey Show: why don’t you just make more money??
Wow how didn’t I think of that? Just get a job that pays more!
Erick Gonzalez lol. That's funny, but actually....it helps towards a lot of people's issues. Because most people's issues have a lot to do with not having enough money anyhow. : )
@@AuAdventures it helps when the motivator has a more realistic understanding of the economic reality outside of their bubble in Franklin, Tennessee.
@@AuAdventures people often decide were to live based on more than just economics and not everything in life has to be partisan politics.
The real thing they need to be promoting is getting you career going before you have children.
This is exactly why I waited until I had a stable career with a good income before I had children.
Exactly!!
@Brittany Sanderson prioritising stability.
@Brittany Sanderson You misunderstood. My priority was NOT my career. My priority was to use my career to ensure I was able to provide my children with the most financially secure and stable environment possible.
Good for you. More people should do so!
Same, now I get to start my family with dual six-figure salaries and being the person charging rent instead of paying someone else for it. Worth it.
I'll never understand why people get married and have kids at such a young age. If that's what people want to do, that's their prerogative. But I personally feel like those are major life events, and your career financial situation should be taken into consideration before those decisions. The idea is to work smarter, not harder. I wish this young kid all the best!
It seems many like struggling, being forced to work a lot, not seeing the kids, worrying about money, etc..
@Josh Men have children in their 50s (second marriage) 30 something is still young.
Woman are on a time frame and most want them in a certain frame whether they can afford it or not it seems.
@Josh
If waiting makes you sterile there was something already wrong with you to begin with.
My parents,sisters, and nieces waited before having kids and no financial issues.
Because having kids has a time frame. Not everyone wants to be a 45 year old with a newborn
I'll end it if I ever have to work two jobs . One should be enough . That's how it was in the 60s one man going to work . Buys a house a car ,goes on vacations and pays for his kids education off of one man's salary .working a normal job
Heck, I’m surprised a tshirt shop is paying $16
Yes they are
Wages went up just a little bit as a result of people not wanting to come back to work. If you're making less than $15/hr right now you're either completely underwater or have an ancient mortgage that's nice and cheap.
Wendys pay 19 an hour
@@cv9938 they like to pay minors less I'm guessing you're in fast food or something. My advice as soon as you turn 18 head to a temp agency and see what they have temp-to-hire for $16 and up or whatever you can get away with.
Yeah they should be paying $4 an hour!!! Freedom! Capitalism!!!
I feel this guy. I probably going to get a 2nd job here soon myself. Good luck man! btw, i sure do miss Chris, wish he'd come back.
Chris messed up so he is gone for good.
@@Brianbright36 what happened?
Guess he's long gone they showed him the door
@@JoseMiguel-rb1rt sinned.
He cheated on his wife. She divorced him and so did Dave.
He's thankful he doesn't have any student loan debt, but his career is going nowhere.....
There are still lots of opportunities without going 100k in debt. Id rather be in his shoes than have a worthless degree
@@CubsFan2812 I got an accounting degree and had 10k debt when I left. I can now make a good income in my future. The 10k was easy peasy to pay off.
@@CubsFan2812 I’d also rather be in his shoes that someone making $80k but tens/hundreds of thousands in cc debt.
Guy is smart. He knows he needs more money and the current job will never provide it. It sucks working and not having enough money to live. It sucks when you don't have a job and are broke, but it sucks way more when you are working every day and are still broke. At least he realizes this early and is planning ahead. Some people get stuck and work there forever.
did Ken really just bring up Wal-Mart like they're some sort of better option lol
Depending on location and job. Walmart is actually not a bad gig. The Walmart where I live overnight stockers start at $19 hourly.
@@TheAck201 just all depends on location.
Im sure he is referring to corporate level positions. Either internally or for a vendor. Any of the vendors of Walmart are required to have an office here. Plenty of jobs to be had in $45-50k range
He's saying Walmart because the kid said his job has no advancement opportunities. Not because Walmart pays 25 an hour lol
You guys are all wrong. Walmart HQ is in that area. Thats what he is talking about.
If America is supposedly the greatest country in the world, then how come many of us can't even afford to live here?
He can afford but not working at a tshirt shop.
Who’s leaving though?
@@cindymann3673 No one, because none can afford to. It's more expensive to leave than it is to stay
@@Temujin1991
Spent time in over 50 countries and met many expatriates.
I can live anywhere in the world no problem. Can do a lot when debt free,single,and living within means.
@@Temujin1991 what makes it more expensive to leave?
So many sectors are seeing price hikes right now and it's going to be hard for people. I'm praying for you!
Thank You 🙏
I live in Arkansas as well and Rogers/Fayetteville area are the most expensive areas….. why not move to say the Conway area where it’s cheaper, still fairly nice, and 30 minute drive to Little Rock? There are several publishing companies there - granted they’re smaller and maybe not as well known. Get your foot in the door somewhere, build your resume, then move when you can afford it. But definitely get another job. People act like they are stuck but don’t want to work a temporary second job to get unstuck 🙄
He can't afford Nashville now.
Well, when home prices jump up 40% in a year you can expect your rent to go up too.
If rent jumps by 40%, why isn't income expected to make the same jump?
@@sunshinesoul8160 Since when have wages ever increased by significant margins?
Plus paying people more would actually contribute to the inflation you're seeing. You'd figure that folks would have discovered that injecting more dollars into the system does not in fact create more goods and services to spend those dollars on.
Walmart? Walmart. Does Ken Coleman know what Walmart is?
He's just referring to their national headquarters being in that area. That's why he said Bentonville, Arkansas.
Rent has gone crazy!!!
These poor people feeling entitled to live in a solid structure. Our ancient ancestors didn't have houses so deal with it... just don't camp like a nomad because that's outlawed too.
And this is why the wheels are going to come off the entire system before long. When you have an entire swathe of the workforce living on crumbs the top get there legs cut off and the reset happens.
Soft or hard reset is the only question.
Or people could get their finances together before starting a family. The guy is working a low end job and starts a family and wonders why it's difficult smh.
Wow, fascinating stuff.
This reminds me of IASIP show where Charlie goes (to Dennis and Mac) Oh, get a job? Just get a job? Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies?!”
But there's always Charlie work to do!
Nobody need a college degree to make good money. I went to college and it was a waste of time. Thank God I have zero dollar in student loans.
No. It depends on what you major in. If you major in nursing or Dental Hygeine youre pretty set.
Insurance industry is always hiring entry level positions all over the country apply to any insurance company
Cost of all things will rise until the dollar collapses.
When guys say that to me I ask them why did they have kids, get married,divorce fleeced, children weaponized against them,in debt,no passport, etc..
They say nothing else to me.
$16 an hour is not live able anywhere
for a single person with no debt it's 100% livable
@@thecattermat Where is there a single person with no debt when most young people are coerced by a concerted effort in the school system to pipeline to these overpriced universities? Did Dave not have 100 student debt episodes or were student loans recently forgiven and I just missed the memo?
@@thecattermat Just saying single person with no debt is rare-ish.
Maybe in the Philippines. That's it.
I’m single with zero debt with around $1200/mo. total living expenses in an upper middle class area.
Many of you don’t understand how powerful and flexible being debt free can be.
Get into the Low Voltage industry. Security alarms, fire alarms, access control, cameras….. people are hiring like CRAZY for this industry and it’s pays well quickly if you put the time in.
But you need some kind of education or skill for those jobs. It's electronics and you can't just jump right in if you don't know what you are doing.
This is so crazy. I have watched rents being raised 4-500 in LA in one years time.
Caller sounds articulate and intelligent. He just underestimated his potential. I made that mistake when I was young.
I live in Los Angeles…when I hear someone say they can’t afford rent and it follows with the word Arkansas, I laugh to myself. Not judging anyone just wondering what rent is in any part of Arkansas
The same as in Los Angeles. You’re not making California wages in Arkansas, so it basically works out the same.
The wages in Arkansas is much lower which makes it harder to afford rent. There are people making $11 hr there.
@@missdesireindependance5194 i understand but across the board standard of living is still considerably different in CA. So $11 isn’t much, doesn’t matter where you live but if someone took 50% of their income they could still pay rent in Arkansas at $11/hr….50% in Los Angeles even at $20/hr you couldn’t get into a 2 bedroom, not to mention difference of gas prices and other things.
Again, not stating that he isn’t going to have a hard time I’m simply implying he has a much easier route to make this change than say someone in a different state (was using CA) as an example. Fact that I heard him mention save, retirement etc that would never even come close to possible here
Really good advice
I WISH I made $16/hour. I make $12.50/hour at a fast food place & $11.20/hour at a daycare (I can't drive, so taxi Uber Lyft & food delivery is out of the question).
So buy a multiplex live in one unit and rent out the rest. If the tenants have a signed lease you can use that as income to qualify for the mortgage.
you know what doesn't go up? a fixed rate mortgage. Had one since 2005 and it is still within $100 monthly as what it was back then. It actually went down slightly this year. I only owe $8500 on it now and making minimum payments now until it runs out. My property taxes are $2200 a year so that's all I'll have to worry about paying after the house is paid off.
Exactly, that's great. In Ca. tho property taxes go up every year. But yea you're right it's better than renting.
How is $16 per hour even legal? What a mess.
I have one critique to make to this show. Lots of shaming. Like, these people are calling in to get help and sometimes it feels really rough. There are so many reasons people get stuck and strong-arming it every episode doesn't always inspire people. Love you guys though. No hard feelings.
It didn't even sound authentic while he was saying it. More like that's what he thought he should say so he said it.
I too felt they strong-armed this youngin
Meh, it's what makes it entertaining
Telling people to improve their situation isn't shaming. It's possible, you just have to put in the effort to try to do it. Nothing in life suddenly improves on its own.
I never heard them shaming. At what timestamp is that?
He has a confidence issue - he stated he had been unemployed and seemed grateful to have a job, but also seems to be complacent due to fear. Experienced it myself. As soon as you get a job, especially if its not ideal, be working on getting the next. He needs to get his partner to be sending out his CV and doing online applications for him if she is at home with a child, or doing it himself when he is off work.
Prices will never drop when inflation calms down greed is working hard in our society

Should have thought about your career before bringing two kids into this world. A T-shirt shop really? That’s the kind of job you do at 16 over the summer.
Having kids at a young age? Now there’s a novel idea that leads to the poorhouse. People!!! It’s called condoms. Some clinics even give then to you for…get this…FREE!!!

Arkansas is one of the poorest states in the country. It is not an upcoming area. Get the heck out of Arkansas and move to a better state and larger city with more opportunities in the field you are interested in.
Learn a skill and focus on using that skill to get a job that pays more. Is this guy even looking, someone below mentioned Fedex pays $21. That's 25% more by just applying for a job in a different field.
Northwest Arkansas is nothing like the rest of the state. Bentonville/Rogers, which is were the caller is from, is one of the wealthiest cities in the state. With Walmart, Tyson, and JB Hunt, there are plenty of opportunities to make good money here.
He said northwest Arkansas.
A place of small hats and a lot of cattle.
This is the truth. Stay in Arkansas and stay poor
I'm also from Rogers, AR, and this area is actually quite affluent compared to the rest of the state. Lots of growth and opportunity here with thousands moving to the area every year. He's not kidding when he says it's one of the fastest growing areas in the country. He just needs some connections to the industry he's interested in because I guarantee he could pursue it here without moving.

Too much info.
Let the area remain best kept secret.
I love everyone for years saying I need to make more per hour. And now they're making more money, and everything else is going up, and they're are still living the same. Minimum wage job is never going to be able to support a family of four. Go get a new job at $16 working in a T-shirt shop with a family at home just ain't going to make it

This kind of episode is why I watch this show. I am glad they help the wealthy as well, but I want to see lives transformed. Just listened to a call of someone trying decide if he should make 170k or 210k per year and the advice was good, but not the same effect as here where if this caller uses this knowledge and starts moving his whole family’s life is going to radically change for the better.
The word “landlord” goes back to the feudal days of serfdom. Not much has changed, we are still poor peasants handing our wages to the local landlord 😢
@@PaulEEish But "taxes, maintenance, insurance, hidden costs" are already built into the rent, so tenants are ultimately paying for them (unless there are rent price controls, then I guess landlords will find it tougher to pass on the costs to tenants).
so stop having a landlord, durr
The problem is NOT that rent is too high. The problem IS that this guy expects to support a family on $16/hr.
@@charlesyoung9980
Too late for that now. He isn’t single anymore.
LOL..as soon as he said $16 an hour with two kids...I started scrolling down and BINGO at the top of the list.
Landlords can raise the rent indefinitely. $16 an hour is not really a lot of money. It’s kinda inappropriate to criticize him. The fact is he has a situation. He probably should go on benefits.
@@melissafradette479 Able bodied men don’t qualify for benefits. His poor wife and kids would probably be better off though if they could qualify for benefits when he leaves. That’s the downside of our welfare system.

@@rooster5755 I was a union carpenter in Montana even at a refinery which is big money you'd make around 35 36 an hour, laborers would make less than that. I don't think very many sign holders make that much money maybe in high cost of living places like California or new York or Colorado but even at that I doubt. My brother in law was making mid 30s as a welder in Colorado as a veteran with management experience and 10 years of experience. If you're making 32 an hour holding a sign that's really good.
Unfortunately in Arkansas thats not full time year round, ur laid off during the winter with no income.
My rent keeps going up every year. I make 19.25$ and yet my rent is 1975$ but that doesn’t include all the utilities that I also have to pay. Which is all of them. And it can come up to 24-25, give or take. With jobs not paying higher wages every year. Gas has gone up. Food has gone up. And don’t get me started on my other bills that’s not related to my rent.
There are millions of people in this situation and it's only going to get worse. The average quality of life for Americans is going to have to take a major haircut. People who own assets will thrive, everyone else will struggle for the foreseeable future.
It's almost like the boomers have ruined the American dream for much of the generations that came after them.
Don’t these people ever think before having children? U have to have $ in order to pop out kids. Looks like this guy will be living under the poverty level his whole life.
Nice that you have it all figured out. You will get even wiser after your 20s

As someone who lives in Northwest Arkansas, DON'T MOVE out of state. This place is growing faster than you can even believe, and while yes it may seem that rents are going up, there is so much job opportunity here and companies moving from all over the country to be in this area. I would plant your roots even firmer into NWA and stay put. Definitely get a different job paying more than $16/hr, even if it's only somewhat related to publishing. I would pivot into doing graphic design since there are a lot of corporate type jobs here that are looking for designers and that's kind of in the same vein as publishing.
I have an uncle that lives in Rogers. He was moved there back in like 2012 or around then because he worked for Kraft foods and they transferred him over. It’s insane how much it’s grown in the decade that I’ve been visiting up there. There was barely anything around the pinnacle hills area when he moved there and now it’s full of commercial and residential. I don’t visit but like once a year and every time I go, there is so much that I haven’t seen that’s new. There are many opportunities in that area.
My lord its so ridiculous the way housing is just soaring. Geez
It’s also ridiculous of how bad the language has gone down. Does anyone know the the agent word or vitamin n both mean-no. Don’t be paying rent or mortgage that more than a third of monthly income.
Working in a t shirt shop isnt a carreer
T shirt shop?
I think Ken should have also said that the caller shouldn't go into debt to get a degree in publishing. It is more beneficial, even though it might be hard, especially for someone who has a family and no special job skillset to earn a lot to afford college if scholarships are unavailable.
Felt off with this episode… like it was a panic unguided broad answer…
I think Ken is tired of telling lazy people to put in a little effort when it comes to improving their income. $16 an hour?
He didn’t even address the issue of rent sky rocketing C’Mon man
Yes this call was literally a waste of time
Not at all. Guy needs a kick in the pants and Ken tried to give that to him.
Ken rambles on about his salary like come on at least address the issue about housing or any where close
Go get busy... (so you can make your landlord more money)
$16 an hour its minimum wage. No way you can survive on minimum wage.
He's from Arkansas minimum wage there is $11. It's different in every state idiot. Not saying that 16 is ok still cause is not
16 an hour is pretty good money in Texas
Tiny homes are the future…
This feels like you could do that job virtually...

Bingo. Plus he can work overtime. Plus upward movement with benefits.
Yes and drivers make even more depends on the contractor.
What about online publishing jobs? He should check that out
He needs to go to the northeast if he wants to get in publishing
Advance Corporation in Cottage Grove MN may be a good place for your talent
I'm amazed he only makes $16/hr in NWA. I live in the same area and even Domino's is advertising $25/hr here
He should do short haul trucking. They make good money and you don't actually have to go to trucking school.
I live in Wichita Kansas there's hardly any jobs that pay 16 unless you have experience.
It’s the same in my area. You may have to get a degree or move!
While I don't disagree make more money.. work on income.. this does not address at all the criminality of inflation, the criminality that's going on in Washington. The crimality that is happening now.. Sure you can always make more money. But just remember... Money can become worthless. Just go back to any nation that's dealt with hyper inflation.
True, I lived in Argentina in the 80s. The re was 300 percent inflation some years. Store up your treasure in Heaven, as Jesus said.
This is why renting is a bad idea and having kids before you own a home is a really, really bad idea. Live in your car if you have to to save enough to buy! And there is this thing called birth control. You dont have to have kids before you're on your financial feet.
I'm 24 I make 19 an hour and I have 40k invested and 10k saved as an emergency and I want a family so bad but ik I can't afford one now so ima stay single until I can

You’re just hopelessly broke.
I know too many people doing this.
My girlfriend and I traveled with friends in RV from Tampa FL to Alaska earlier this year.

You said rent.
Kids aren’t free and has costs,…..wife,ex wife (especially ex wife),dog,cat, etc aren’t free.
It’s ‘“we” own rental property if you are married and have a mortgage.
A threesome.

Cotton diapers save a ton of $
People get basic, no brain jobs, no skills whatsoever and they complain they barely get by… does everyone think all jobs should pay $90k or more?
No, but they should pay a living wage twatwaffle. Just because they are working what you call a "no skill" job that doesn't mean they those people are losers and should be shunned. The world revolves around these "no skill" jobs as you call them so people like you can live in your mansions.
@@PowerNGlory And if everyone who is working poor recieves more income I garuntee rent goes up for them next month. Next.
If one cannot afford an education to acquire skills without already having skills, how do you propose one acquires skills?
70k barely even cuts it in larger cities anymore
Live in an RV!!!!
Buy used though!
Here's an idea... Make rent affordable again
Not sure why they call this the Dave Ramsey Show when he's never on it anymore

Minimum wage in Arkansas is $11 an hour hes make 16 Which is pretty average for the area he's in
$16/hr at a tshirt shop? Wow, teachers make that. That’s a good wage.
It’s a livable wage but not a good wage!
UM, teachers make 50 to 75 per hour! Did you forget they only work 180 days a year? Some are way overpaid and lazy AF.
My rent went down lol.
Ok homie
Did you break into a house that wasn't yours
