I remember just a couple of months ago Dave was talking about how Ramsey Solutions would never give someone an inflationary raise. Now his solution to beat inflation: go somewhere that gives you an inflationary raise

They are not paying 20-30 dollars an hour. I’m fully aware. Mini managers are making 16-19 dollars an hour in retail environments

It's not nice to make fun of people that are struggling during challenging times, it shows your character.

Nobody’s getting $20-$30 to put “bread on shelves” get real

I’m old enough to remember a few months ago when Dave said the inflation that’s happening is no big deal

Do you remember when Dave used to say "only people that are unprepared should be worried about inflation?" :)

I used to follow Dave on everything, but these people have no clue of the struggles of real people out here today. Two years ago we overcame poverty and was doing well. Now we are scraping pennies to buy groceries. If Dave Ramsey is feeling the pinch, then you know the real person out here is not making it.

"laid down in the middle of the gas station parking lot, held my heart for a minute" - Dear Dave, Google estimates your networth to be around $ 200 mill. Imagine how us regular folks feel. 😂

My grocery bill went from $173 to $327 and that is just buying the bare necessities (no junk food or candy).

My heart bleeds for you Ramsey. All that property to look after and those lake houses...

And a few years ago, he was laughing when people was worried about inflation. And he said it wouldn't be happen.

Dave bounces back and forth with his advice like a tennis ball.

Dave you are wrong I'm a trucker and the rates to deliver loads dropped...diesel went up rated dropped so we make less and everything is more expensive.

How can the inflation rate be at 8-9% when if you break it down by category, each category has gone up anywhere from 15-60%.

it is hard to ignore fuel and food prices going up, man.

Ramsey is incorporating things Joshua Fluke observes and teaches. Apparently the way to get a raise these days is to get a new job. That results in a vastly bigger pay increase than begging and negotiating with your current boss.

Dave almost always says the same answer to questions like this "just get another job” like it’s as easy as picking out a better looking fruit at the grocery store. I've been looking for over a year now and everyone is hiring, but almost no one is paying. It's just not that simple. I did find one that paid well, but they had 1,200 applicants. ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED APPLICANTS. It's crazy. You can't take a paycut to start in a different industry and work your way up unless you're already loaded and can afford several years of pay decrease or school (which also costs time)-- so most people are stuck. They're not 19 with infinite options, they're 35 with a family depending on them. My company did give TWO “standard of living wage increases” but it wasn’t enough. The only real option is OT, but in many places that's capped or unstable-- and in either scenario its just a temp fix. I understand a better paying job would help. But I want him to stop acting like getting that new higher paying job is so easy and making us feel like something is wrong with us for not being able to do it.

Let me take out the worlds smallest violin for him putting gas in his raptor lol

Here in the U.K. a gallon of petrol (gas) is £10 or $12.20 - now that’s real heart attack territory

The dual mandate is simply self-contradicting at this stage, impossible to have price stability AND full employment

Many people in their current job give themselves a raise by doing less.

No one is making 30 an hour to put bread on the shelf maybe 18

Haha, Dave thinks that the price of bread went up because of the workers wage rates. Not having any debt helps when inflation happens. Not feeling the pressure and very thankful that my wife and I are blessed with this position.

I recall a few months ago Dave going off about how inflation “wasn’t real”… I wonder what made him have a change of heart.

Wages for people putting food on shelves did not triple, Dave. Jesus Christ.

Dave show me a entry level grocery store position hiring for 20-30 and hour

The person who is "putting bread on the shelf" needs that wage because their grocery bill has doubled, their rent is $2k per month for 400sqft room that the landlord puts nothing into maintenance, their gas bill to get to that job has doubled. It seems a little flippant to blame higher groceries because "labor" seemingly disregarding that they're people who also have had their living expenses skyrocket.

"$20 - $30 an hour"........🥴 NOT

$20-$30 to put bread on the shelves? Where? Not where I live.

1:36 Did Dave say folks get 20 to 30 usd an hour for putting bread on the shelves?

Every day he sounds more out of touch with what normal people are going through

Anyone else remember not too long ago Dave said inflation wasn’t a thing lol? Wait until he back tracks on real estate.

“$30/hr to put bread on the shelves” So out of touch

I love Dave's content because you don't have to think too hard to get it. In fact, the less you think the more you will enjoy his content.

Changed jobs in December, got a 29k increase. It can happen.

Inflation did not go up because people's pay went up. These people are so far out of touch with reality. They trying to blame it on people's pay, and not what's actually going on in the real world.

Who’s paying grocery store workers $30 / hr?

Even with my Prius is terrible, use to cost me around 19$ to fill the tank, now I’m at 45$

I thought Dave didn’t give raises based on inflation?

Statistically, the quickest way to get a pay raise is to go after another opportunity. Easy to say, but you really got line that up to knock it down. Do your best folks

"I filled up my Raptor..." When you got money like Dave inflation is no big deal.

Lol I dare Dave to go out into the world and see how many people are making 20+ an hour to stock bread at walmart

This sounds to me like Dave is struggling to hire staff... This whole piece was an advertisement for working with them 🤣🤣

what's your obsession with the person putting the bread on the shelf.

I do not think most people in grocery stores are making 20 to 25 dollars to put bread up.

Fuel up, appraisal prices up, Texas energy prices up 50 percent due to natural gas prices, groceries up, there will be a lot more debt screams than debt free screaming coming up!

I’m debt free as on today YEAH !

Many people say this is not same as 2008 crisis. But there are many things brewing very similar to it like gas prices, retail slow down etc. Slow down started in April.

wheat prices are up 45% for the year. blaming everything on wages is just wrong

Where do they pay 20-30 to put bread on shelves?

Invest more into becoming capitalist... Work on off table earning..

Lol I love Dave Ramsey, but he's wrong on the bread. I know because I do it part time to supplement my income. Wheat did go up. Wholesale prices haven't changed yet. Distributors are paid the same, but prices have gone up because the stores are raising prices on certain products without explanation. I assume the excessive profit they are making covers something somewhere else. Or... Maybe someone is pocketing it... But the people putting bread on the shelf aren't getting paid more... Yet... Bread routes aren't paid by the hour either.... Just saying.

Places are hiring but mostly part-time gigs with no benefits. 15-20 per hour does not cut it anymore. I have been blessed enough to have decent savings, but I am getting to a point where I may need two jobs just to continue buying gas and groceries without having to dig into my savings. I have been seriously frugal forever. Inflation is a real deal no matter what. I agree that we should not be in panic mode, but this is killing the middle class.

Do you remember when Dave said inflation wouldn’t happen/wasn’t happening? Pepperidge Farm remembers….

Interesting because I remember when dave was pushing the party narrative that inflation was transitory.

I love watching these videos, but his claim that inflation is suddenly skyrocketing due to increase in salaries is hilariously out of touch.

Wasn't he just preaching a few months ago against raises based on inflation? 🤔 Just asking. Meanwhile, we have enough slack in our budget that inflation, it sucks, but it's not breaking the bank every week. Grateful for that!

Folks on a fixed income, like Social Security or SSI are suffering. Folks who are retired and limited to withdrawals from their 401K or pension payments, are in a pickle. Not everyone can hyst go out and get a second or different job. Easy to ponitificate when you are a millionaire.

I’ve decided to grow my small business, keep my full time job and pay off all debt, invest and save more aggressively.

$20-30 to put bread on the shelves? Yeah, sure.

Ground turkey, chicken and brown rice. Seems like a great time to drop some lbs.

WHERE ARE THEY PAYING PEOPLE $30/HR TO PUT BREAD ON SHELVES?!? Dave is so out of touch 🤦🏾‍♀️

Dave, I’m sorry I’m a 3rd year teacher, live in one of the cheapest counties in Illinois with a slightly above average salary, and have gone from saving $1200 a month to $600 a month. I eat ramen, grapes and tap water.

No grocery store is paying 20-30 an hour. Yeah they aren't paying 10 an hour now. More like 12-14 an hour. Not even close to inflation

The best we can all do is control discretionary spending and increase our income. Buy generic brands, buy in bulk - but make a plan with your spouse to take control of your finances. Best of luck to everyone out there who is worried about inflation hurting their quality of life.

I buy and cook chunk of foods and divide them like a weekly pill organizer by storing them at freezer and eat them so i dont have to buy foods that much especially at work just to save money because this inflation is rediculous

I would love to work with you guys. I so enjoy listening to you every day and I have learned a lot.

Somehow I think working for Ramsey Solutions would be about like joining the Branch Davidians.

The feeling I get at the gas station and grocery store is definitely real, it trickles down the line… counting my blessings holding the reigns and hanging on until things calm down! 🤠

I stay home and cook, that's how I deal with inflation lol

Great video like always great content. Thank you

Imagine thinking that food stockers made 20-30$ an hour lol

14% doesn't cover inflation even with simple math. Pretty much everything I touch is up 25 to 60%

inflation doesn’t sting as much when you’re debt free 😄

Sometimes it is better to get advice from friends/family who are in the same financial situation than listening to a multi millionaire. I mean, his is great to help people out of debt, but sometimes I think that he is not living in reality.

Is Dave saying that workers in America should have received wage increases? Because I'm salaried and my income has not changed whatsoever this year.

Yea I work for the city and we are being laid off this week so hopefully I can find something paying a 14% increase

Wage-Price Spiral ignores fuel shortages, federal deficit spending, and broken supply chains.

😂 Lawl when he was talking about his bologna sandwich that was so funny 😂😂😂😂

I feel bad for first-time home buyers. Birth rates in the west are 1.6% and will probably decline even lower. Which is why the supreme court overturned Roe.

One major driver of inflation that they often fail to mention is the massive increase in the money supply. When you have more money chasing the same amount of stuff, the price of that stuff goes up.

finance is also about slimming down in these times. Find places to cut back. Americans have no idea how to consume less. Sometimes u can eat at home. Cut the cable. There are so many things you could do to cut your household expenses. U want stuff..u dont need all of it

Where in the fing world they pay $20-$30/ hr . in any store ??? WHERE ?????

Lol I knew Dave was full of Baloney.

Do you want to really switch jobs now...I'd rather be at the company I have a good track record being with now than the new person at a company when companies start laying people off.

Dave's solution: stop being poor.

I stopped driving my truck because of gas in Cali. I’m driving my niece’s Fiesta and it still cost me $65.05 at the pump. Never cared when I used a gas card, but now it’s my debit card and comes out immediately. 😡

well its about dang time.... dave finally admit inflation is a problem for most of his viewers instead of denouncing it

Keep in mind that rural areas or small towns are of a different characteristic that dictates what kind of changes you can make for employment especially if you are married and your spouse has no interest in moving

Three words... OUT OF TOUCH. When your net worth is 200 MILLION, complaining about gas prices is a slap in the face for the people you're talking to. $30/hour just to put bread on the shelves is a lie. Tone down your arrogance sir. Just a couple of weeks ago he was an inflation denier, now he's admitting it. These people call themselves Christian? Where is the compassion?

My wife and I eat at Olive Garden a few times a year and they definitely raised their prices. (But only about by 15%)

This is just a job advert 🤣

30 dollars to put the bread? Where men … I still have my depressed salary

Noones getting paid 20 or 30 bucks to stock shelves . just stop the non sense

If we weren’t growing and producing most of our own food- this would be very stressful. Our grocery bill is fraction of most peoples. Dave you said a few videos ago that inflation raises were ridiculous. I guess you have changed your tune. People need to ask for a wage increase as the cost of products/services have also gone up.

Places like Costco have always paid people a livable wage. Other stores are now having to step up!

Again I like Dave but sorry out of touch. I can guarantee one thing right now most single people can’t afford a house it’s that freaking simple !! Starting houses especially around Charlotte are about 350 K right now that’s insane! Put it in the mortgage calculator most single people can’t afford a house. So whats Dave is going to start telling people now? Let’s get that 20% down?? Which could be upwards of 50 K-70k now!! OK but he says I don’t mind if you have to put 10% down OK?? What’s that gonna be about 30 K?? The point on making the inflation is ridiculous these houses are clearly not worth what’s going on for smaller starter houses. I’m going to continue to rent even though the rent is a little bit high there is no way I can afford even at 10% right now down and I’m debt-free and have a little chunk in savings. I’m getting a pick up truck because I’m going to be happy. And I’m gonna continue to rent for the next 3-4 years And see what happens

The grass isn’t alway greener.

I am changing jobs for a 20% base salary increase + car allowance

Funny, I thought Dave and Ken didn't believe in inflation-based wage increases...
