I’m a truck driver. No rent no car. Banking every check for 10 years. I’ll have 500k. Planning on paying cash for everything by the time I’m 45

[dashar.c.]

Dave can you run for a president and fix the mess we live in ?! We all will vote for you .

[jessicacarmen]

It is still amazing to me how people still don't understand the difference between gross revenue and profit. And it's usually people who own businesses

To the guy asking how to get through law school with no debt… HAVE YOUR EMPLOYER PAY YOUR TUITION. My job is currently paying for my law degree. Most firms and corporate companies will pay for tuition

"I make 25k a year can do I afford a 400k mortgage?" 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Dave- “Is your goal to be wealthy?” lol

I know a nurse who makes $100k as a case manager and she works from home. Not sure if that’s the proper route for Jonathan’s wife or if it is a viable option but it could be possible if she can no longer do floor nursing.

1:23:00 I’m an RN and work with several nurses that have seizure conditions, she can absolutely find work in the field making the same money. It’s not bedside care, more like caseload management, supervisory positions. It’s more paper pushing than bedside care but it’s low stress and an excellent income.

You can go anywhere you wanna go if you just keep walking. Hit the nail on the head.

I subscribed after Dave and his organization set up HAYOVEL to use their facilities in Franklin, Tennessee after the first venue canceled. Bless you all, bro.

So with the guy who’s wife is a nurse who is suffering with epilepsy. Is there a reason he couldn’t find himself a higher paying job in two years, rather than applying for jobs on her behalf to keep her working? I get she still wants to work, but there was a way bigger conversation here and I think we got caught up in the hysteria. This man makes 30k a year. He should be focusing his energy on raising his income especially when her seizures has been stressed induced. You want to take some stress off of her, make more income. Debt should not be your focus until you do, especially with losing so much of the household income.

The lady from Canada with the toyota only has 88, 000 miles. Why is she looking to buy a new car. That's low miles!

[reneespring]

Dave hates duplexes, he is for sure consistent. 🤣🤣🤣

[niecybaby]

If she fell dead today they’d find someone! No one is irreplaceable! I love how Ken deals with Dave’s
shenanigans in overtaking him.

[striperkid]

Daniel from Dave hung up on you because you ran everyone in circles. $25k a year salary and wonder why you can't nab a

Uhm.. Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. And he was 33 at the time.

For Jonathan with the RN wife -- Look for Remote Utilization Manager jobs! There are plenty of jobs available. And base pay is typically 60-70k salary. With usually good benefit plans.
