I make $50k. I’m 61. I have no debt. I paid off my house. I’ve never done drugs I’m a high school drop out I travel the world. Life is good.

When there’s no struggle, there’s no satisfaction. He should probably start volunteering and donating to realize how to be grateful for what he has.

Clearly what drives this young man is not money, it's having a fulfilling life.

Making $170k in LA is like making $100k somewhere else. The cost of living in LA is almost twice as much as most other places.

This is so so true for so many people. My brother and I have had this conversation multiple times. He lived in an expensive town in Colorado while I lived in Chattanooga TN making much less money. I loved my job and he hated his. I was so much happier than him. Money doesn’t buy happiness, although it does help.

I know how this guy feels and it’s a horrible feeling. I think he just needs to find hobbies and take some times off

You have the kind of personality that will never be satisfied. You enjoy the process of getting to a goal. When you get the goal, you need another goal because you enjoy the act of accomplishing something. It’s a thrill.

“Lord my heart is restless and will not rest until it rests in You” St Augustine

At this point in my life, I have no desire to manage other adults. So I’m setting myself to be in positions where I can best utilize my strengths through collaboration with others and not necessarily leading others. Being debt-free allows us to not worry about seeking job titles because of the money. That’s a great feeling.

“Happiness is not a line to cross…” Thank you, Dave, for your wisdom and godly care for others. Those words touched deeply… 6:47

I feel very similarly to this guy, and it's such an exhausting place to be. John's right, and Dave is breaking it down well. The key piece is to dive deep down inside your driving motivations, and like John said--stop for a bit. It's so hard to find someone you can talk this sort of problem through with, because most people think it can be solved with a flippant: try this company, take a vacation, "just be happy", or finding yet another hobby. No, this is driven by deep convictions to achieve...sometimes in seeking a sense of self-worth. Jobs don't answer that.

Yep, this is great advice. Take a breath and smell the coffee. Instead of chasing promos, lateral moves are also great to learn how other parts of the business work. I went through this myself, once I stopped chasing it, I was more content - but I actually worked better and ended up getting promotions.

The questions and internal dilemma from this caller is very relatable, and Dave and John's response seemed spot on. Great segment.

Young guy he has a lot of life to live still. As he matures and seeks wisdom in his life he will come to the realization that life is like a subway, always stopping and going, on and off, but always having the realization that each stop and go is a stepping stone in his pathway of life 👍

I've known people who made hundreds of thousands a year, had beautiful lives and mansions, yet hated their jobs. And I've also know people who had nothing and hated their jobs. The problem is not the job or where you are, it's deeper and closer to home than that.

This is so true. My ex husband had the same issue never satisfied. Then one day it was his marriage that wasn't enough. They are never happy in the moment and always searching for more. Devastating for us as our two girls are now in a separate parent home and he is still searching. 💔

He's equating his happiness to his income level and money. Not degrading him but to me it sounds like that. Maybe it's from his upbringing, personal life or people he associates with?

Unfortunately, never being satisfied is part of the human condition I believe. Learning to be content is the key because there’s always more money to be made, a better job, a hotter wife/husband to marry, more cars, bigger trips, etc…

one of the best calls in a long time. and great advice too!

This was the best one I've seen so far. Clearly an ambitious kid and great answers/advice. Great job Dave and John!

All this advice was super-helpful and thought-provoking. Thank u!

I remember hearing John saying those same words when i was at a job i hated, drowning in anxiety and depression, and wanted to quit. And so i did quit. And he's right, all of that followed me, but it was different this time, the change in environment inspired me to change. The best decision i ever made was quitting. So many things changed that would have never happened had i stayed.

The main point of having money is to not worry about having money. The peace of mind is priceless. That being said friends, hobbies, relationships and interests make you content.

I found peace in Jesus. I'm praying for you, brother. This sounds like a bright sincere young guy.

this was a really interesting call .. I think it should be about wanting more responsibility because money itself doesnt satisfy ambition

Who is paying this kid 170k for supply chain work ? That makes no sense . At all

This was a fantastic conversation that more people need to hear!!

The thing is that he is only 24. Most 24 year olds are hungry and trying hard to climb the corporate ladder. He’s already gained a salary that most will never see. His instincts is to keep climbing due to his age and probably lack of responsibilities. He also could be a bit of a workaholic. Hard to tell now, but he will find out when he gets older and have a family.

8:07 Mind blown 🤯 , I needed to hear that! “Don’t look for healing in movement, it’s not there.” - Dave Ramsey

He needs to find his own peace this dude sounds hurt and is using these job roles and ambitions to move that fast to fill a void that he may or may not be aware of. Best of luck to him

Dude this message is what I needed to hear.

This is a great clip, I would like to see more like these: unpacking life and money together

I think it is universally acknowledged that money isn't everything. People are what make life. Money is just a necessary tool in this life to enjoy time with the people we love.

Kudos, amazing advice. This is the kind of unsolicited advice youngsters need

Powerful. 28 and did not realize this is the lesson I am currently working through. Thank you for the realization.

John is by far the best Ramsey personality that isn’t Dave

Six figures doesn't buy happiness. When you realize there's more to life, that's when maturity starts.

Money doesn’t buy happiness, it can just make it easier to be happy. He needs to worry less about position and focus more on life outside of the company. Donate. Do some volunteering. Travel. Do what interests you or helps other people.

I went into Healthcare for this reason. I always thought I could do more with my life at almost 30, so I decided to become a doctor. A decade later, I have a ton of job satisfaction, and ultimately happiness. I'm not rich, but I don't have to be. I care about my time, my freedom, relationships, and opportunities to continue to learn.

Love the advice. Gotta work on yourself first in order for everything to work for you! That is true happiness!! Incredible, Fantastic gentlemen!!

“Beware of destination addiction, a preoccupation with the idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job, and with the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.” - Robert Holden

Who told him having that salary would make him happy?! Someone misled him. Celebrities who make millions commit suicide as money does not and never will make you complete or happy. It does however IMO add security to your life and you can bless others.

Thanks for what your team does Dave! Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world

This is all around great advice. I found all of this in every aspect of my careers. I had a similar path.

Such good advice, great job guys. God bless.

And here I am battling with the exact opposite 😂 I don’t want to promote in my department because I’m content in my current position, Those above me seem miserable, and I could really care less about stressing more on work. I have enough to worry about outside of work. Is this wrong?

John knocked it out of the park on this one. Really motivated me to look into more of his work, what an amazing advice he gave to this guy.

This one spoke to me. Thanks for taking time to answer this question.

“Oh do you want to talk Dave?” 😂😂

Great to hear people like this with that much drive at that age. That is inspiring to all of us. I'm 30 and that really just inspired me to do better.

Incredible piece. I was him not too long ago and when finally stayed put in grew in more ways than I ever imagined. Powerful piece.

Great great wisdom from Dave n John here. Don’t seek value from work role. Slow down, face what you’re running from. Then, ambition and drive find their place/limit, and you work from a core of pease, not a hurting hole. I needed to hear this, too.

"Don't look for healing in movement." Good advice that applies to jobs as well as other areas in life.

It's hard to be happy when you are surrounded by many that want to tear you down.

“Happiness is not a line to cross…” Dave spittin truth bombs

I love this call. Just three men chatting about what's important.

These boys nailed this!

Happiness comes from within. Gotta enjoy the present tense

Sound advise. Words of wisdom I needed to hear, too.

This one is the best Dave Ramsey clip I’ve heard. Great advice.

Why want to be a VP? The kid clearly is missing the point. VP is just a job title. If he really knew what he wanted he would say: I want to be a VP because this would mean that I would have a bigger impact on my decisions and would achieve greater things and do better for the world

“Fulfillment and logistics in e-commerce.” He is a dropshipper lol he’s not working in supply chain.

"Happiness is not a line to cross." What a terrific line & visual.

Fantastic message. Keep pushing but enjoy the ride and find a balance.

He speaks like a future philanthropist. Son, put in some years of work, build your estate, and you can do so much in your future like start a foundation or grand endowments to a school....like Dave says, live like no one else now, so *later* you can live and give like no one else.

3:48 - LOL that was my initial thought 🤣

This was a wonderful segment. So important to understand what John and Dave are saying here.

“Don’t look for healing in movement” This was a GREAT clip! Amazing advice

This is probably the best advice I have heard John offer in a while! Good content

Fantastic video!

One of the best videos on this channel.

Dr. John, your advice was great!

What's the problem? Just go with the flow and keep the income coming in. Don't worry about being a VP.

Fulfillment and logistics...QVC, e-commerce. Sounds like shipping from home via eBay and Amazon. 🤣🤣🤣

This is solid advice. I also had this growth mindset, but way to speedy. A lot of the most powerful lessons aren't directly learned, but more so absorbed by osmosis over time. Nothing wrong with taking your time before progressing in your career.

He's still very young and trying to figure it out...he will get maturity and settle into his values. No need to worry too much about this young man.

Money is not everything. Time is all we have. Spend your time focusing on making long lasting friendships. Remain close with your siblings and parents/wider family. Money comes and goes. Those you are closest to, do not.

A job, a spouse, nor a lavish lifestyle can fill a God sized hole in your heart. This is what lead me to Jesus. Went to church and heard about Him as a kid, but I learned who He was when I spent the first 30 years of my life chasing everything else and never found true peace. Hope this caller finds God, it's the only thing that will give true peace.

So much great advice (lack of a better word: wisdom) from Dave in his short turn to reply.

Man, this resonated with me. I am in a similar boat as the caller.

Making 170k in California is equivalent to 60k in Texas.

No good sensible words come after the phrase "I feel like..."

Good advice Dave and John!

Dot look for healing in movement! I needed to hear this one, thanks Dave!

I needed this. I may not make as much as him, but I'm always chasing the next certification/degree for 'happiness'.

LOL dude admits he was a job jumper. Never stay long enough to actually do any work or affect any change. Just uses the title and salary to move up to more without working. The job is getting a better paying job.

Wow. "Don't look for healing in movement." This whole clip was really, really good.

"Don't look for healing in movement - it's not there." - powerful line

I’m in the same boat. I make 35 yo and make 250k a year and I feel like something is missing. I not happy with my life. I’m always looking for more but I think is a way to sabotage myself to loose everything.

I feel similar to this man. I’ve got a beautiful family, amazing wife. Nice house nearly paid for, no dept except small mortgage. For some reason I feel like a failure and nothing is good enough. It could be that my walk with Christ is a mess. The sins I had once forsaken cling to me insects on wet paint. I am so miserable.

We need people like him to continue to push to find the next big world solution. Not everyone needs to just coast through life. If this is who the guy is, a driver, a guy who won’t settle with status quo, then good on him and I say continue to stick forward and change the world in your industry for the better. At the same time, he’s calling into Dave Ramsey show for a reason - he’s unsettled. At 24, he still probably does not have it all figured out or know exactly who he is. If he’s not settled and as Dave and his co-host have pointed out, he’s not finding a good landing spot no matter the job change, then he needs to point his attention somewhere else. Good ideas I read here that I agree with involve hobbies, volunteering, donating, and I’ll also add focus on well-being (adequate sleep is a good start).

Amazing advice and so applicable to many.

I make close to 200k a year 35 years old and I am very unsatisfied with my job. The money is great but sometimes you need to realize life is to short. I understand this individual 100 percent

Well, I reckon that’s just proof that money can’t buy you happiness!!

"Dont look for healing in movement". Awesome!!!

So true as soon as I got promoted I thought I’ll be content but wanted more and then got more than wanted more

170 in LA is like 70k anywhere else😂😂😂

The average income is something like $56000, but it seems every caller on here makes at least $250000 a year.

this priceless input, thanks Guys

What a beautiful message, Dr.John Delony
