This guy is 25 with both parents gone..? Wow. Im sorry man youre doing good though, they would be proud.

[mildchaos]

Can’t help but be happy for this guy. Has a safety net worth a full year, makes $70k and he’s only 25 with no loans. He’s got the golden ticket. Live life to the fullest king, you’re in a better situation than 95% of 25 year olds

The panic of my parents not having money has stayed with me to adulthood.

[offerskirksey]

The way they are both twirling those pens and staring into space the exact same way. Like Father, Like Daughter! HAHAHAHA

[robertlunderwood]

$70k/year in Pittsburgh and single... He's good.

[JasonFerreira]

Having a family who stressed over money will definitely change how you operate.

12 months in emergency funds that’s awesome 👏🏾

[hitandruncommentor]

As someone that just got out of poverty; the fear of slipping back is real and i can see it getting worse.

[Indyzato]

I know many people who grow up in a family that struggled financially, and when they got a steady paycheck blow it or live well above their means. I give this young man credit. He's also has a manager who pointed him in the right direction, and again to his credit, took that direction.

Shout out to all the single people who skipped baby step 5!!!

[Noontide]

Good caller. Mellow character. Guy has good backbone and will definitely make it in life. Blessings for him and the Ramsey team 🙏🏻

[jimpodolski]

He should guard his heart and not fall for a woman that's gonna take half of what he owns. Pray for the right one brotha

Sitting in Nathan’s exact shoes except for the house at age 23 miss my parents everyday but don’t miss their poor spending habits and don’t want to fall into their situations really needed this advice

[carmen]

Married no kids 37 years old. Work for goverment planning on retiring at 55. Just bought a house in the Philippines to retire in

[Cirearyk]

25 with this mentality, he’s going places! What a great mindset. He’s doing far better than most people.

[joeplem]

I make 40k a year which is alot when you don't have a wife and kids to support.

[lcztski]

When I dont have money it's so easy to window shop and say I'd buy that.
When I have money I cant properly gauge the benefit cost ratio and walk away buying nothing.
🤣💀

[autumn]

How are you still single?!
Sounds like a great man. Your parents would be so proud.

[reginatheresa]

Wow that was the best advertisement for Rachel’s book ever! I completely identify with the caller’s mindset because I grew up in a similar household style. Can’t wait to read the book to learn more

[angierice]

Fear is a real motivator, and it's hard to let go of. I was paralyzed by fear of messing up after watching my parents get creditor calls and juggle money. You have to learn to trust yourself because I KNOW I manage money better than my family. Ironically, fear can drive great results. I'm in my early 40s, and I'm ahead of where I wanted to be to retire at 60, more secure than I imagined possible, and on Baby Step 6 (while trying to start on 7 so I'm not holding what I have just for me). He's done an amazing job... I hope he'll trust himself to enjoy life a little more along the way. And stay single, dude, .... life is so much easier!
