With so many men neglecting his children, this man i a hero, i pray God helps him and blesses him with a decent job.

Why in the world is his baby momma not paying child support? THAT'S NOT FAIR TO HIM

Whose watching this in 2020?! WE NEED A MARCELL UPDATE

The mother should be paying child support and or held accountable for not doing so,we have a double standard in America men should receive support as well.

You could hear the hope in Marcell's voice. It's been six years now, and I'd be willing to wager he is in a much better place financially.

Any chance there's an update on him? I always think of him.

I was almost in tears when Dave was giving that dearly nearly thoughtful meaningful advice like a father would do for his son. Dave Ramsey may be a millionaire or make millions but when he tries to makes the life of other people better, I dont mind even if he becomes a billionaire. Growing together is no sin. Its the right thing.

Maybe my fav Ramsey call. Mutual respect, encouragement, Dave challenges him and suggests ways to get ahead and improve his life. This is what it's all about.

Love it! Build this man up. Pump him up to get motivated. Awesome Dave.

I feel this caller's pain. I was in his shoes just a couple years ago before finishing my degree. Thank goodness for sticking with a plan.

I cried listening to this because I was here before. You can do this, man!

I really wish Dave would have a caller update segment. I'm so curious about what happened to some of these callers, especially Marcell.

Just seems like a nice, respectful, caring guy who's taking care of his kids and wanting to better the life of his family. I like this guy.

One of my best friends whom I met in the gym is a single father. When we met back in 2014 he was struggling hard trying to make ends meet for him and his child. He went to school to become an airplane mechanic but couldn't find anything for the longest time. The gym was really all he had. He didn't have a car, didn't spend on anything, couldn't even if he wanted to. Went through years and years of legal battles to keep his child as the mother literally just took off. The courts made it extremely difficult for him to gain legal custody, despite the mother not making a single court appearance. He was finally blessed with a job working for Delta. He went from making nothing to over 4.5k a month starting. He's since moved to Florida where I assume he's making even more now as the years have gone by. He's one of the greatest people I've ever met. The love for his child was unlike anything I'd seen. He could have left his son but instead went through it all to gain custody and eventually build a great life for the two of them.

As a single mom with overwhelming student loans and a part time job, I feel this guy's pain.

i make $13.90 1 kid baby on the way house note $960 no credit card debt light water is on me as well and cable brought the cable bill down from 160 to 58 dave ramsey inspired me to go to school with this post

I have a suggestion for Marcell. Find the local FedEx or UPS facility and get a part time job there.

Dave can you please get an update on Marcel

Respect to you, Marcell!! Things are going to turn around for you. Just stay motivated and work hard. God loves you and your boys and He's there for you. Have faith and persevere! Once again, great advice, Dave!

This is good advice from Dave Ramsey, I wish Marcel and his boys well.

A real father and man. This was a great call with great advice for him 🙏🏾

This was two years ago, I wish Marcell would update us. I really hope he is in a better position now.

My goodness!!! The reading part was gold. This is so motivational making financial freedom seem reachable not “easy” but reachable!

My favorite call ever! We need more dads like you ❤️

This is the call I needed to hear Dave take. Thanks, Marcell for being a Great Man, he’s definitely worth more $$$! And thanks Dave for giving him the advice I too needed to hear as well. This made my day.

Beautiful :) This is something that I have also struggled with as well. God bless this man for what he is doing for his family, for his kids, and for himself! It is amazing! Such an inspiration!

Thanks for the HOPE, Dave. What a great a call and a great plan. God bless you Marcell.

If anyone is wondering what books Dave recommends, here is a short list: The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey Good To Great - by Jim Collins The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership - by John C. Maxwell The Legend of the Monk and the Merchant - by Terry Felber QBQ - The Question Behind the Question - By John G. Miller Rhinoceros Success - by Scott Alexander Boundaries - by Dr. Henry Cloud The Go Getter - by Peter B. Kyne Tribes - by Seth Godin Thou Shall Prosper - by Rabbi Daniel Lapin Quitter - by Jon Acuff Start - by Jon Acuff

God bless him. He's a single dad and he's doing a good job. I wonder how he's doing now. I hope he's doing well as he raises his babies.

Dave this one made me tear up. I’m on this journey also and I feel you’re shows help me. Thank you!

This is the greatest show... literally. I feel blessed to have found this channel.

Dave, what an amazing call. How well you are doing - it's EXACTLY as much as you deserve.

I got so fired up for this guy. 👏🏽 You’re gonna kill it man! Probably already has. Just realized this video is 6 years old. 😂

Whatever happen to Marcel? Dave, the way you loved on Marcel was sooo awesome!!!!

It so motivates me to hear you talk, but even more to hear you help all of the people that you help daily.

Can’t get enough of the encouraging msg. Keep it up Dave!!

Wow! This really hit home. Been going through this struggle for 4 years now. I hope Marcell and his boys are on top the 🌎 . All the men ( women) who share this journey, I wish you the best!💪🏽

Became a single dad with three small children. 20 months, 4, and 6 years old at the time I received custody. That was 28 years ago. They are adults now. All with college degrees and good, decent people. There were times I look back on, and cannot believe we made it through. Without getting into a long winded story. My philosophy was, to get up every morning, put my feet on the floor, and proceed with my day. And save what I could, no matter our financial situation. If one cannot live on 400.00 a week. One cannot live on 380.00 a week either. It took time at first. Knowing that money was there, but only touched it when I absolutely had no choice. Such as my vehicle breaking down. My first thousand I saved, my truck broke down and it cost me 800.00 to fix it. But realization that I had the money to fix it. Only disciplined me to save more, to have that sense of security in a tough monetary situation. Thank you Mr. Ramesy for giving this young man such good advice.

This is my favorite Dave Ramsey call. He really gives great advice and encouragement.

God bless you Dave! That is extremely kind of you to have sent Marcell those books. They will change his life for the better. I really hope that his life has gotten better since this call.

My husband was terminated late may this year and I quit my job (yes stupid decision but couldn't take it anymore) and we are both home he is getting unemployment and thank got that helps with rent and all bills and we have about 6months saved for leaving, but this videos are helping a lot, can't wait to get back on track and follow Dave Ramsey's plan and 7 baby steps!!!Thanks keep them coming!!

I love Dave's advice on reading a book a week. And he was sending a case of books to Marcell!!!

Good fatherly advice. Kudos to you Marcell for reaching out for help to make changes in your life and your children's ❤❤❤

I like how he handled this caller, definitely opened up his thought process! Best of luck to him

"I got a friend that reads two books because he wants to be a 2 millionaire" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good luck to him, he should put the mother of his children on child support!

Ramsey is a badass. I love the kindness with realness that knows how hard life is. Freaking inspirational!!!!

That’s great Dave. Handled that situation with such class and love. Case of books!

Marcell, Dave mentioned cutting grass on the weekend. I mow lawns part-time and it's true you can earn some good money on the side. I earn 16.50 at my full time job, and earn roughly $50-60/hour while I am out mowing. I can whip out a lawn in 25-30 minutes and charge them $30 per week. If you really are willing to do what you have to do you can improve your lifestyle. In the Summer I put in 60 hour back breaking weeks, but I also earn an extra 3-5k per month during the mowing season too. Whatever you decide to do it will be work, but you can do it.

Keep on that grind, Marcel! Read those books Dave sent to you, and keep growing and improving. Keep things moving and things will get better each year. You can do it, mayne!

Strength and guidance to this single father, keep trying and things will change for the better. I love how the host dealt with it. He gave him sound advice, while pointing out the facts. The power of being a human being: helping another human being to be better.

I love Dave! He was so awesome with this caller!!! 💗💗💗

This man is a real father. The hope Dave put in him. You can really tell Marcel needed this peptalk.

Here is a guy who does really good with what he has to work with.

Dave is such a remarkably compassionate person. God bless.

Dave, That was WONDERFUL how you helped that young man! I have a deep respect for you! John

I hope he has a local food pantry he can go to and sets up a meal plan to reduce his shopping needs! It can go a long way.

***** Can you post an update about where Marell is in his life since the show,I would love to know how far he has gotten since then...

Dave, I listen to this some time back. Please, give us a update for this young man! God bless him and his babies!

The Dude on this Call was "Worse than He Deserved"!

That guy should demand his ex-wife pay child support.

Same situation as me I'm just a single mom of two little boys. Love Dave because this is exactly what I needed to hear.

I like the way dave speaks to the person on the phone straight up how they need to hear what he saying to them first video i watch on dave and i subscribed quick because this and all his other videos is what i need to hear and follow thanks dave!

This made me so emotional. God really used dave ramsey.praise god to glory be his name.

1:08 "does she pay child support" OF COURSE SHE DOESNT!

Thank you, Dave. Your shows are inspiring! Blessings to you and your family.

I must have heard this case about 10 times. So inspiring. Im going back to school just because of this story. Very motivating!

Man it would be awesome to see how he’s doing now. It’s been 5 years since this video was uploaded 😲

Good luck Marcell! You can do it!

Sound, solid advice. I wish you and your boys well, Marcel. God Bless you above and beyond.....

Awesome video, strong motivational talk and great understanding on his circumstance.

Dave what were the books you wanted him to read? I feel like I can relate to his story exactly and everything you said makes sense for me too! I'd really love to know which books they were please.

I do weekend cleaning for a school for xtra 💰. $18.00 per hr

This is my favorite segment I’ve ever listened to. I hope this man is doing well.

I have much respect for every word you just said Mr. Dave, God bless.

Did his financial situation improve? does anyone know? you don't find men willing and able to raise kids on their own and also seeking self improvement...

Big ups to Marcell, not too many men like him anymore! He will go far I know ❤️

Dec 2019 Dave Ramsey, I appreciate the common sense and knowledge you share. God bless you.

This is one of my favorite clips. I Learned alot. Good luck Marcell

Awesome call to the show! It would be great to get a list of the books that Dave recommended to the caller so that we may read them too. Thanks!

Dave is the bomb

This conversation is beautiful and I’m glad I started watching Dave Ramsey.

Props to this young single father taking good care of his children. Reaching out for help to better himself and better the life for his family. Bravo sir 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If the situation was flipped, Marcell would be paying at least 800 a month for child support, but the mother doesn’t have to pay anything in this situation.

Why didnt I get this advice when I was 16 instead of 50??

This dad is amazing!!!! and honestly Dave is like that grandpa advice, just his tone of voice and his optimizism is all you need to get on the right path.

This truly is Dave at his very best. How compassionate, truly moving. Hope the caller is doing better now!

He sounds like a good man. I hope he is doing well.

Marcell, how have you been doing?

Some of the best advice I have ever heard I will start reading more for sure

This one touched me deeply. Dave nailed the reading portion, Marcell demonstrated verbally his conviction and morales. It seemed all he was missing was his ability to effectively communicate. Knowledge saves lives.

His “ex” needs to help

Take her to court for child support, she would. I wonder how's he's doing now.

These are the kind of calls that I really appreciate on the Dave Ramsey Show. This guy sounds like he is trying his absolute best. Something about a situation like this feels so much more "real" than some of Dave's callers who appear to call just to flex their income on everybody.

My heart goes out to this struggling father. I hope life turns around for his family for the better and he finds a job and career that fulfils and supports their lifestyle.

if it was a women calling and the dad didnt pay support Dave would have told her to go after him...why not the opposite i wonder...

I would love to know where this young man is now in his journey

I SALUTE DAVE FOR ENCOURAGING THIS MAN TO STAY ON THE RIGHT PATH TO TACKLE HIS FINANCIAL ISSUE AND I SALUTE THIS MAN FOR MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS FOR HIS KIDS AND HIMSELF. KEEP GOING I AM CHEERING YOU ON ALL THE WAY FROM SC!!!!!!!

I feel like I can relate to this video the most. I'm a single mom of one child who receives monthly SSI because he's disabled (autism). I just graduated from college and have $14k in student loans. I'm working part time, about 20 hours a week, making $8.25 an hour. I'm now applying (and interviewing!) for state jobs with salaries of $25-$30k a year. I'm slowly working my way through Dave Ramsey's baby steps and am tackling some old accounts that I have in collections while simultaneously saving $1k for my emergency fund. This video was very inspiring. I want to eventually get my Master's degree in Counseling and work as a mental health counselor. The salary for counselors in my state is about $50k. Now I know what to work towards.
