Some hillbilly from Tennessee showed me how to get out of debt, stay out debt, have a paid for house and retire a millionaire.... 😂😂😂

Ken’s face when Dave cuts him off gets me every time 😂

I can only conclude that the lady who called asking about her boyfriend moving into her house and them keeping their assets/money somehow separate while sharing the home (I not only got exhausted...I got really confused) has not listened to Dave Ramsey very long. You will NEVER hear him recommend doing what he calls "playing house". If I were involved with a man for YEARS and he had not yet decided he wanted to marry me, I would be history. Maybe it's just me, but if a man had not decided to marry me after we had been dating for a year or so, I would assume he was NEVER going to be interested in marrying me and I would move on.

Thank you so much Dave, because of your shows, I paid off my depth and now I’m stress free. And I’ve been saving my money for more than a year now.

Dave’s straightforwardness is of infinite value

[GroshursGrovec]

Thank you Dave, and thank you Malik for sharing your experience.

Lady with the husband who's left multiple times. You will do so much better in your life and career once you get rid of him and move on. He is probably making you feel like you can't do it alone, but you can. Good luck, it will continue to get better. Don't go back.

Hospice nurse here. It can be a great income depending on your location. It is a very physical job, however. You will be in homes moving and caring for people without help at times. I get the feeling you may already be caregiving? Don’t count on not being required to lift, bend, tuck and roll. It is a very rewarding career if you are truly called to it! 🙏🏼

Did the first caller say his new wife was 25 and had been married for 8 years in her prior marriage? So how old was she when she got married? 🤯

I’d be ending this marriage and move forward with my life. I don’t think I’d ever trust someone who lied about that. He’s 23. Let it be a life lesson.

I love daddy Dave, sassier than ever!!😂😂😂

SSA is very clear that the money dependents get can *not* be spent on anything that doesn't serve the dependent.

San Antonio is military city, the stay in your lane comment probably came from an Army Vet lol

Caller: "The dog died..."

Why do people who live w bf/gf still call in?

Dogs are not for broke people. Like children, do not start a family unless you an afford it.

To the man who is going to start a mobile car detailing service. I am on three neighborhood watch groups in a fairly large city and there is at least one ad for mobile detailing on each one every day and also one for duct cleaning. Every car wash in our area does detailing and 90% of them will pick up your car from your home and bring it back. I doubt that there is much money in either of these professions.
I understand that he wants to build fancy things. If he limits his market to fancy items, he's cutting off all the people who need railings and ramps built for handicapped family members, fence building or repairs and attic or basement remodeling, all of which I had done in the past two years. And I hired everybody through word-of-mouth and referrals from my friends and neighbors. He should get a job right now and do side work and he will be so busy he won't have time to sleep!

At time 49:00: NO taunting.
Over alimony or anything else.
That can backfire to your disadvantage.
Get a good lawyer: she does talking.
