It doesn’t matter what your opinion on Dave Ramsey is, he has helped and changed a lot of peoples lives for the better
Right about that 🎉
Sure it matters . He’s a shmuck .
I'd love a Where Are They Now episode
YES!
The girl with 6 kids now has 6 more kids.
Was just gonna comment this. You beat me to it.
As much as I love all the new personalities, these videos make me sad. I forget how many more pieces off wisdom we used to get from Dave. Plus, that father like feel where he'd give tough love, be more compassionate, and give almost motivational speeches.... Now it's like "whats the question, here's the answer, next caller" But back then, he used to give 15 minute + mini speeches and THOSE are what really changed my life. I'm so lucky that when I started listening in highschool and college, I got THAT version of the DAVE Ramsey show... the Ramsey show is fine, but just not the same.
I never watched at the time, only knew any his books. Are these videos you are talking about available on KZhead or somewhere we can watch it? Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
@@therapywithisabelyes, if you go back in the videos a couple of years, you’ll see videos where it’s just Dave (like the clips in this segment). Back then it was the “Dave Ramsey Show” before he started gearing up for retirement and rebranded it as the “Ramsey Show”.
Well, one can only say the same things over and over and over before WE ALL get sick of it. 98% of callers: I'm 60k in debt, I earn 40k and I want to buy a lake side condo for 550k. Help me. Btw, love your show, been listening for years now. Yeah, that gets tiresome and obviously gentle parenting isn't working for most of these callers.
The difference is that dave has been through it. Something different about someone that climbed out of the pit when no one else could help him but God. His personalities are like children they know what Pappas taught them which is right but the true I had it Rachel hasn't had
How are you, how are you, better than I deserve
$15k per year working full time? Dude would do better working at Taco Bell.
That was recorded years ago, when he was probably making minimum wage at $9 an hour
He claimed he was a welder by trade! I wish Dave would have asked him why he's not welding. That would probably easily double his income with huge potential down the road.
@dumdumdugan1940 $9 an hour is still more than $15K are you 15 or you forgot that $15K has been little money every year since 2000?
@@acruzro95 No need to be rude.
@@acruzro95 I’m sorry, didn’t pull out my calculator. Next time I will so I can make sure to satisfy a random stranger on the internet.
The first guy is a WELDER but he's working a delivery job for $9 an hour ??? I don't understand. He could triple his income if he just got a welding job.
Old call.
Buddy can weld on the pipeline and easily make 5k/week. He already works for a pipeline company 🤦🏻♂️
@@ericpierce6378 Oh wow! I missed the part where he said it was a pipeline company. Maybe that's what he meant when he said he wanted to grow with the company.
@@ericpierce6378this made me laugh 😂 fucking true!
His statement is still correct no matter when the call was made or what min wage was...@@suen5006
Please continue making these videos. Absolutely loved it. I appreciate all the work your company does. Paid off $130,000+ in debt. Almost there. There's light at the end of the tunnel. GOD BLESS ❤🙏✨️
I have closed my credit card today. Thank you Dave. 4 more loans to go. Ice berg method.
My grandfather started off as a janitor for a trucking company. As the company grew, he grew too. Became a driver and by the time of retirement he was a department CEO. So it is possible to start at NO WHERE and become someone.
What’s a department ceo?
Keyword = grandfather. The world he came up in isn't currently the world we live in NOW. EVERYONE has a story about how an old relative was able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and become wealthy. That's just not the world we live in anymore.
Things were also much different back then. That story can still happen but not as much as it used too. I'm not some punk brat either, I had a master's degree and make >150k a year. Just being real
Yes you are 👆
@@greatawakeningnewsnetwork577 yes, it is. People today don't want to put in the work. I did it at 40. Started an $11/hrs role and in 3 months I was building a learning department with a $4/hr raise. When I retired 11 years later I was making $100,000/yr.
If you are single and living paycheck-to-paycheck, don't get married or bring kids into this world.
Tell that to the people not living in the first world countries, then come back to us.
People need to hear this everywhere starting in Elem school
People should also not bring kids into the world because their friends, family, or religion tell them to.
@beebobox they'd get the same advice. If you can't afford them, don't have them. And it's true of anything.
I lived at home with my parents and was unemployed when my (then girlfriend) got pregnant. It booted me into a new mindset and made me figure my sh*t out. 4 years later we have two kids, own a home, and I own 2 small businesses. We still have months where money is tight but it’s improving constantly.
At 24:02 Dave began to say “where are the…”. He knew that a 24 year old with six kids was from more than one man. And he was right
I'm sorry but I don't feel bad for her. I get 1 kid it was a mistake it happens but how do you have 6 kids at 24?
Shame on these deadbeat fathers that impregnated her, let their OWN children end up in foster care.
Look at the bright side, once you hit rock bottom there's no where you can go but up!!!
I've seen some folks find new bottoms first
Yeah, usually you just dont realize it can get worse, and sometimes it does.
Yes, it is all up. It is what all of us do, but not everyone has fallen so far.
You hit bottom, when you STOP digging.
You can still dig. You will never really hit true bottom. Just the realization that you’re in a terrible situation.
12:20 “When we put shame in the rear view mirror, we call that grace.” Wow, wonderful quote.
dave ramsay is a good person
Sometimes a credit card debt can go on forever, 6k went on for 15 years. I kept saying I’ll pay it off but kept paying off the minimum payments. I pay it off already, now I’m debt free. Note, never help out families and cousins because they won’t pay you back and if you ask for your money back years later, they other victim and you’re the bad person for asking. Helping families and cousins got me broke and started using credit card. Lesson learned
Ditto! Helped several Family and Friends on credit cards because I didn't have the cash on hand but wanted to help. I did say to each of them that they didn't have to repay me. I took out a personal loan in the amount of $13k in August 2021 for five years. I just paid it off on April 1st, 2024 roughly 2 1/2 years early after throwing everything but the Kitchen sink at the debt. So happy 😊 it's behind me with just my Car lease to go at roughly $5500.00 leftover. I can't wait to be DEBT FREE! 🎉
To all the people on today, you can do it! Start small and keep at it, bit by bit. You allready made the first step by asking for help.
$15,000 a year, working 40 hours a week?? Goodness me when was this call made? The 1800s??
Some states still have a very low minimum wage even today
This was probably 2017 or earlier
To the girl taking care of her 80 year old parents, I would send their butts back home!
I would too! They didn't set up for retirement..its cheaper back home..they should move back or get jobs in the US if they want to stay.
That Marcell call still 1 of the best to date
My rock bottom was when I was deployed .. and got bomb threats. Running into a bunker thinking I would never come home. I ended up watching Dave Ramsey while I was deployed and paid off my 31k in credit card debt. I thought I was so smart with money thinking I was doing more by moving money around.
Watching Dave while in the bunker?
@@1jw298when I was able to connect to WiFi out there. I had a WiFi box
If you were deployed you definitely should have gotten hazard duty combat pay, even tax free areas. How'd you not knock that debt on deployment?
@@BeardedVeteran1776 I did knock out that debt
“We don’t have to pretend”, love this lady, lol😂
I hit rock bottom and I dug myself out it wasn’t easy but I am still struggling and I am improving slowly stay away from toxic people only a matter of times thing will get better if you play your cards right
Really hope Marcel is doing well. What a brave man he is, especially liked how Dave’s answer wasn’t “get her to pay child support”.
Dave Ramsey greatest hits? Gotta be a country album!
Decided to birth and abandon 6 babies to foster care? Inconceivable. Use birth control!!! (Screams internally)
Unbelievable right?! 😮😮😮
I worked with a woman who had a 25 yo kid at home with 6 kids by 4 baby daddy's and the woman was the only household income. Now the younger daughter is expecting and still in high school.
You’d be unfortunately surprised at how many people have kids for the tax return & food stamps. Sounds like a boomer thing to say but it’s true for some
@@capps2015this is exactly why abortion clinics should be set up in poor neighborhoods with free services, thats cheaper then welfare
@@Sarcheindisgusting rather be poor than dead. How bout don't get pregnant instead of killing the child when it happens. You telling me that 26 year old with 6 kids in foster would be better off just having 6 abortions paid for by taxpayers? What the fuck that's kind of fucked up and her situation would still be terrible.
$797. House payment???????????? As a Californian I just puked while in traffic.😭😭
Maybe it’s a cruel April Fool’s joke 😂
2011 foreclosure for $50K>>> $214/mo Sold in 2006 for $245K
Can’t even rent a room in a house here in NJ for that .
My mortgage in Ohio is $1075. I'm grateful.
@@SRTBOATsame. Mine is $850.
There are a handful of snowflakes here complaining about how Dave used to talk to folks...the gentle parent way, caring about your feelings and side-stepping poor life choices. I started listening with his old clips and could NOT stand the repetitive callers: I have 4 kids, 60k in debt and I make 28k a year, I still owe 14k on my car and I want to buy a Condo. What should I do? Btw, been listening to you for years. Help me. And poor Dave would gently, calmly tell these callers to refer theBaby Steps...over and over that I got sick of it. The new personality and show tells it to them straight: Why would you do that? What have you done to achieve your goals? All a breath of fresh air!
Dave is COOL 😎💯
Yes, I’m desperate to leave a toxic state that has an environment that fosters mental health issues. I'm out, but I hope the Polish community receives the help they're entitled to. Pray for me! 🙏🏽
Wow Dave sounds so much kinder in the old calls than now. But still, love his Amazing wisdom and straight shooting advice.
Time is money
$15k a year driving a truck is ridiculously low. Get away from companies like that
That would be bad for a part time job. I thought maybe he meant to say $50
I knew it was gonna be a horror story the moment I heard the caller's name was "Cody"
I have been listening to you sir for the last 2 months. I had credit card debt. not too big but i also owed some money to my friend. i have paid all that off and my only debt is my student loan and i have a 2 month emergency fund. I cried when i payed all this off. i never realised how much of a pressure minimum payments can be.
I remember a few years ago at UPS, we had a American Airlines pilot doing causual work. So definately know it does get bad for some folks.
“You can’t do ready fire aim you have to do ready aim fire”
Let's always do alot of good ❤️
I need people who called 3/4 years ago to call back for a follow up
What sticks out the most to me is that Dave used to be a lot nicer than he has gotten in the last few years.
Not true. He has some good old school rants
That’s the exact opposite of what I’ve observed. Been listening since about 2003. He’s gotten a lot more compassionate always talking about how he’s done so many stupid things.
Love the military reference. You speaking mon language
I hope Marcel is doing well. Sounds like a good guy.
Marcel’s voice changed by the end of that call. He could hear him sitting up straighter.
Would like to point people that are looking for cheap cars in the direction of Facebook marketplace as well as certain new car dealerships have a less than $5k trade in sections as well. I was able to get a 20 year old excursion with over 240k miles for $1600 and it lasted me 4 years. It wasn’t sexy but I was able to move cross country for a higher paying job in it and found an apartment that I could walk to work. Good luck and happy hunting!
Man how was that 10 grand a year for fuel? That didn't save you anything.
I plan on calling in soon
Did you call?
That 6 kids at 24 call always shocks me as if it's the first time I'm hearing it. I want to know more. Why, where was the dad, whats her relationship with him.
I really moved when the guy said that I will send books to you and you need to read!!!! ❤❤❤ hope!
People are so delusional about their own abilities
Classic Dave joke at the end about the books 😂
Bro. I feel good where i am at.
“Death solves all problems.” Joseph Stalin
Did Stalin really quote that?
The second part of his quote. "No people, no problems."@@johnjaso385
3rd quote "everyone dies but me"
@@irvinsanta really evil. I know who Stalin is, but didn’t know he said that. I looked it up.
True.
I partly agree with some of this. It is a husband's obligation to take care of his wife. If the wife wants to support her parents, that is 100% her obligation, not the husband's. She needs to use her funds to take care of that, not the combined funds.
That daughter had 6 kids while living at her parents house... that says alot about the parents ( losers )
24, $60k in medical bills, 6 kids, moved away from parents for an $11 job. Typical babymomma mentality
It sounds like the daughter is a "free spirit" and doesn't like to be told what to do. She is looking for love to where a man will take care of her. More unwanted children are probably in her future. I myself see her as a loser and the kind of women that will not change her attitude or her way of living life. I feel sorry for the children that she has abandoned.
She’s ignorant not wanting advice while digging herself a bigger hole. She sounds like a brat rebelling.
@@user-ho2op5fh5r she sounds like a self entitled liberal brat.
Sometimes these calls sound like this couldn’t even be real .
I’ve loved the show since I first heard about it but I really wanna know how I can get in contact with someone regarding my financial situation because I’m in a really tough spot
You can call the show. The phone number is on the screen or description box
Reach out to a Ramsey trusted financial advisor. Calling the show is difficult and won't give you real detailed info
It starts with sacrifices.
Where are the.... where is the dad? LMAO
People do it to themselves and then cry when they start to sink .
How can I get those books?
Why isnt he welding, they making good money
He should consider relocating if there aren't welding jobs. I live a state over from SD and we are desperate for welders. My brother is making like 28-30 an hour welding. They offer hire on bonuses too.
Seriously, making $7/hr driving a truck could be making 4x that as a welder… there’s the easy answer. Yet for some reason the poor kid thinks his company is doing him favors.
Exactly. There was a small town business that welded and built cattle guards and fences. They were were paying more than enough to cover a 3 bedroom house and living expenses in town
Family from Belize? The 80 year old parents need to move back home to Belize where they can afford to live if they can't sell the house back in Belize
What was so memorable about the first caller?
That tan on Rachel looks gorgeous!!!
dudes getting like 7 bux an hour to drive a truck and he says its a good company?
What the hell do you do to amass 111k in student loan debt and end up earning like 50k?
College is and has always been a scam.
What kind of home in Atlanta, GA has a $700 mortgage?
You do realise many of these calls are from 2016?
@amireallythatgrumpy6508 lol, yeah I figured that. I guess I'm too young to know what housing costs were back when I was in high-school. I just want some hope that I can afford to buy a house by the time I'm 30 or so.
My local welding jobs are paying $1700 a week
I think these calls were from many years ago but yeah if you have a skill you shouldn't be making 15k at any point in life
The moment I saw the hyphenated last name I knew she did not care about her husband 😂
You need to be engaged for a year. Use birth control. Both of you work to build as big a start fund as you can make.
Caller 1: He should go back to college and get a mechanical engineering degree so he can create stuff and have it come to life but while he’s in school he should be working as a welder
Don't date/marry someone that is bad with finances aka someone who is not on baby step 4 or higher. The end. Your welcome.
A lot of these calls are from years ago. The dude making around $7 an hour, or (15 grand a year,) you know 7 or 8 years ago, it's not too far off. The girl making $11 an hour with 6 kids, that was from 7 or 8 years ago.
Hey, dad of a 24-yo with six kids, stop being shy about the details. Your language reveals weakness that you cannot afford to show. No one has "about" six kids. She had six kids. It was not "almost" all medical debt. It was medical debt.
When he tries to act like he has the high road, a parent who has a kid who has children starting at 15/16. He doesn't earn the father of the year award either. Lost kids usually come from some sort of trauma, and it is clearly unresolved
Czarina’s call is pretty much my story soon. The only thing is my husband is completely on board and we are planning to have my parents live with us. My sister doesn’t want to help at all, absolutely selfish person, especially knowing how much my parents helped her including financially. When they (parents) sell all their properties in Europe they will have less than 100k total, and they will be getting pension from over there $500/m combined. It will suck, but i am a daughter that responsible for them. And i am not a total jerk as my older sibling.
No completely disagree with paying the smallest debt first pay the highest interest first otherwise the credit card debt will be so much higher with just minimum payments
Were these videos taken recently?
Girl with 6 kids on $11/hour. That’s not feasible in this particular town. I live in the same town. Just not possible.
$11/HR Holy shit!
😮 😢
Wife and I paid off 60k over 2.5 years making 11 an hour. The trick was working 90+ hours
@@alexpietsch7997Wtf are there even 90 hours in a week?!
@@Neoquaker1 8am-Midnight 6 days a week. Never want to do it again but am so glad to be on the other side
Anyone know what time they take calls? If they are now, I'll call in for April Fools and mess with Dave.
It says so I think in the more section
2 - 5 pm Eastern.
@@em7937 Appreciate the recognition.
Her: I have student loans too. Him: ooooh. lol.
Student loans on a 40k job, lol.
Dave they have tried everything but leave me alone
What year was that first caller? 15K a year is insanely low for any full-time job.
Around 2016
So that company offers health insurance but can’t even pay him enough to cover the cost of health insurance? 🤔
The dude makes $5 an hour!😮 Why??!! The person who said he ought to work at Taco Bell is spot on:he’d make at least $13 an hour! My son got his diploma a week and 1/2 ago and got a job offer 3 days later, 1 day before turning 18. He’s being paid $7 an hour more than this man!😮🤦♀️🤷♀️
Gotta be 15k after taxes
I thought it said overcoming "The Rock Bottom" and thought he was on Monday night Raw or something
NO WAY HE MAKES 8 an hour driving
How does one work 6 extra jobs?
"A great company" and he can't even afford health insurance. Sad.
People are just money shtooopid.
13:01 every dollar budgeting app 28:01 if you don't make a plan for a way out nothing is going to change -Im almost worst than all these ppl bc I'm 41; I thought bc I was more moral than everyone else that God would make a way for me!?! How terribly wrong I was about that!!! I thought to be more money minded was slimy and materialistic like a corny tony Robbins but now I realize that if you don't provide for yourself God isn't really going to do any thing at all. Maybe He might kinda give you some kind of open or opportunity but that never happened for me. It's just you against the world-the christians that say God "blessed" them were usually just rich to begin w/. But I'm totally stunned. I've seen the unexplainable so I know He's real but Hes seemingly not doing much of anything for a person's finances and that's startling
I'm 19, my mom earns 26k and is 90k in debt (mortgage), can't do much help her, I work part time ( I work as a front end dev from home) earning 11k per year while going to uni. We got 2 cars ( both are like 125k miles and are from 2010 and 2012). Anyone got any suggestion (I live in Italy though)
Hi,I'm 52 years old out of work cause I'm sick,I'm been out of work for 10 months cause I'm sick,I have kidney disease and on dialysis for 3 months now, I have nothing for retirement and I need help
So sorry to hear this. God bless you.

Guy aint no engineer that i can tell you 🤣
If he's making $15k a yr... working 40hrs a week... he's making less than federal minimum wage.
I have a number of chronic illnesses and have been on disability for just over 30 years. I used to tutor children in maths and English. I don't have students atm. People just can't afford it. I'm 63. I have a small nest egg of $10,000. Does anyone have any ideas of how l can improve my financial situation? Thank you. Penny
Don't let the disability people know of your nest egg. They be stealing.
Get an account with charles schwab online and start buying small or low-cost stock mutual funds and etfs. A good starting investment is stock in schwab fundamentals for 50 per share. The annual returns for your investment will be 12.99 percent, which is well above most savings accounts. Be consistent. Invest as much or as little as you want, and you will succeed . If you're not ready for investing yet, then watching KZhead videos about financial literacy is helpful.
Have you looked into tutoring online? Even if people in your area can't afford it, people in other areas, even in other countries, may be able to.
@genevadelp5055 I've done some, particularly during lockdown, and I'm advertising, but no luck so far. Thanks for replying.
2:12 woa he makes $15k a year delivering parts? married 8 years? Must be a strong marriage and a good woman. I was just surprised by the pay being so low for a pipe fitting company. 28:39 bet he never heard those words before.
6 kids at 24???!
15K a year working 40 hours a week? They should all walk out and demand adequate pay!! That is abysmal, meanwhile the CEO is probably taking home millions a year! This guy could legit go work at McDonalds and make more money!
80k or more for a welder
$15K a year??? He’s basically making minimum wage driving and doing deliveries?? Dude, go work for UPS
15k a year driving a truck sounds like he works 15 hours per week
Sounds like it but he has benefits, so you don't get benefits working 15 hours a week.
@@Christdeliverme truckers make great, hard-earned money. He must be in a union. That is the only way you could keep a job working for 1/6 of what a beginner does, full time.
