Baby Step 1 has another side benefit Dave isn't telling us. It makes you learn to NOT SPEND money you have. Just think of the discipline you have to exercise not to spend that $1,000 when you are use to buying everything on credit so you could have it NOW.

My wife and I are good examples of high income earners with no wealth. Almost $350k/year, together. High living will destroy your income no matter what you make. Trust me. I got her onboard about a week ago, we are barely into baby step 2 and we are soon to be baby step millionaires. The change in momentum is astounding once you believe in yourself.

I graduated with 60k in student loan debt and they probably paid 5k of that so I would say we had about 75k in student debt. Plus we bought 2 brand new vehicles during that time and our house.

I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.

In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government.

The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

I was speaking with a financial counsellor about this and she was really caught up on this point. In my head I was thinking that anyone who can't save the $1K needs to expand their income. True enough that a percentage of people just can't increase their income, a large percentage of folks can. And that's Dave's point about "gazelle like intensity". It very much is a psychological process and a screening tool. As those who can't, or won't complete baby step one, are not going to complete the others. Those people will either accept their lot in life or find a different process I guess 🤷.

My *slush* fund - is the thing I *_BORROW_* from when something breaks. YES, I borrow from my emergency fund to cover the emergency, _and I charge myself interest when I use that money if ever I do_ ... And I pay it back with the interest TO *ME!* It took me 2½ years to pay my planned 10 year remortgage-on-separation mortgage. I do not have any debt.... *And this man is 100% RIGHT!!!!!*

@@SamTexan91 Hi Sam, I'm British & in the UK. Currently we have 2% interest bearing "ready money" / "instant savings" accounts available to us. I have multiple accounts now - all have around £500 to £600 in them (the ready money ones). When something breaks, I use the money in these "slush funds" (instantly ready money) to buy what's needed then I write up a spreadsheet with columns showing what I "borrowed" from my savings and on a day by day basis adds interest to the "debt (TO ME)" less any repayments - just like having a loan from a bank. I then just pay the self loan off as quickly as I can whilst still running my household and saving elsewhere NORMALLY - the longer it takes me to repay the loan the more interest I end up saving FOR ME!

@@JudePi-jx7yo while that seem to be true, don't forget the cultural and religious heritage that plays a huge role on people's perceptions of debt. For example, in the Islamic faith, charging and paying interests on loans is strictly forbidden. It is as forbidden as murder if not even more. So in Muslim societies people have a sensitivity to being indebted let alone being indebted with interests!

Baby step 7 here for my family. I am excited about this next step in our lives. House is paid for, 12 months saved for emergency fund for household, 30k emergency fund for anything else. Car paid for. There is no debt anywhere else. We are focusing on investing and prepping for our future and our children's future. I've been listening to Dave for just over a year now and for a few months very seriously. I appreciate everything you've done and continue to do through your company and employees. Anything is possible. Keep your head up and keep going no matter what happens. ❤

I can attest that this stuff works, period. My wife and I both work in public safety (paramedic and police officer) and our salaries have not always been very high. Even before upward movement/promotions improved our positions, Ramsey's guidelines allowed us to pay off all consumer debt and stack away cash for the future. This was while making roughly $100k as a household. A bigger shovel just expedited the process.

I have too many payments and not even sure I will ever get out of debt. I still use my credit cards. When i retire, my goal I will still have a Mortgage payment, a car payment, and 2 credit cards. It’s not what I hope, but it is better than what it is now. My sad situation. I am watching this Video right now. Sorry and thanks for reading this. God Bless

Baby Step 3b here. I agree with the summary of the baby steps but have some nuances on the later ones. 1-3 Should be done precisely. 4 15% yes, but s&p index over mutual funds 6. A 30 year mortgage is adequate depending on your age. If you're under 35 you still have enough time on the clock to build retirement even with the extra accrued interest.
