Me: Cool this call relates to me:
This guy: I have 1.6 million
Me: I'll go back to my rice and beans.

[TheInroad]

Guest: "When can I splurge?"
Dave: "You can buy the more expensive rice and fancier beans. Also sell your car."

Listen, the more I listen to Dave Ramsey, the less money I spend and the harder I work to make more

[noahbaumann]

Life goal: have Dave Ramsey tell me I’m not spending enough money

[CalFamilyBBQ]

You know when you're watching too much Dave Ramsey when people ask you how you are and you reply
"Better that I deserve" in a Tennessee accent when you're from London....

I become debt free on May and now I'm building my emergency fund. So happy after 2 years of payments. 😊😊😊

I am 80-90% sure Dave's "friend" worth $200M is Dave

[BrotherhoodWorkshop]

The "can you set fire to that money and be ok" metaphor has really helped a tightwad like me chill out a bit :) I appreciate this example.

When I became debt free my girlfriend (wife now) and I went out to a fancy steakhouse to celebrate. The next day I started saving to hit the 3 to 6 month fully funded emergency fund. We’re now married, debt free, fully funded emergency fund, save 50% of our income and live well below our means.

I can’t WAIT until the day I can tell a friend I want to help out with their kids school fees or purchase a car for a family member who really deserves it. The thought of being able to change the lives of people around me is what motivates me every day!

Can’t wait to be at this point 🙏🏻 I found Dave about may 2019 and we’ve paid off about $40, 000 since. We’ve only got my vehicle left and I’m aiming to pay it off by Dec. the latest. I’m so glad I found him and that my husband jumped on board. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I feel his pain. I went 270K of debt to having .5 M in ten years with his plan. Thanks you Dave

My idea of splurging is getting a foot long spicy Italian sandwich from Subway lol. I always cook at home

[jackedkerouac]

My grandmother always said don't feel guilty splurging on health. It's something that will give you joy on the road to success. So yeah, I treat myself to $90 massages bc I go back to work relaxed and refreshed.

*Splurge for me is buying a $9.5 600mg bag of pistachios and watching a $3.99 movie on the YouTube, if we're getting really wet and wild I'll buy a $1 1 Liter brisk ice tea from the dollar general down the way*

I'm kind of believer that the longer in life that you go without status symbols, the more you discover that your life is just fine without them. If you're going to splurge, do it on something you would genuinely enjoy, not on something society says you need to mark your success.

I miss millionaire hour, it was so motivating and this was just as great! hats off to this man

[JM.TheComposer]

Dave's 'friend' with $200M is probably himself.

[michaelsmith]

Debt free, 3 million+, I still enjoy getting good deals on things. There is a reason why frugal people can stack paper. Its a lifestyle.

[rfalkins]

I love this call! Definitely a breath of fresh air. Reward yourself for your hard work sir! Well done!
