I love how honest Dave is about his own past stupidity. It really makes it easier to relate to him.

My mom was a high paid attorney for decades. She was diagnosed with dementia in 2012. She had no money, no will. I was able to get the POA before she got really bad (recommend). She lived with me for 4 years, it is VERY hard. It became hard to keep her safe, including when I should have been sleeping, and someone always had to be there. She went to assisted living in a group home (these are great, look into them, only six other women in a house). She also went to adult daycare which gives the caretaker a break, look into that. Now she is in a nursing home, on Medicaid as Dave stated. Just know you are not financially responsible personally for any of it, because it can hurt your family and children. Best of luck.

Hello here watching. My mother has dementia. It is a terrible disease. She is in memory care now. We tried keeping her at home, but it got really tough. Trying to work full time, she hardly sleeps. It wasn't safe any longer. Please remember to take care of yourself as well. Being a caretaker takes its toll for sure.

“Where Debt is Dumb, Cash is King, and the paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the BMW as the status symbol of choice!”- Dave Ramsey.
Now that’s the opening we remember and LOVE to HEAR!!! ❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Dave’s comments on the 1st caller was spot on. I take care of my mom now who was not financially smart so needs help. I’m so glad Dave calls out people to do the right thing like teaching kids about saving money and having a will! I’m not gonna be in that position in my 70’s! I’m learning from my family’s mistakes 😮😅

I started listening to the program to practice my english but it has helped me a lot with my finances. Thanks for all the tips!

[kaziquefly]

I’ve only just discovered your channel last week. I’m super motivated (and shit scared) to pay my debt in a year! Please wish me luck 🙏 thank you for the work you’re doing, I’ll be watching your show regularly to stay on top of my game. Greetings from London 🇬🇧

I like how he tosses out George’s millionaire status! Real quick, congrats on the hard work George.

My family struggled and didn’t have much, and nothing will be left for us. Even so, any stress or “burden” left for us to figure out could never change the fact that I could never think of my parents as a burden. They sacrificed for us, and we will be prepared to show our appreciation and return the love and care they once provided to us.

George's genuinely thoughtful comment at the 100:10 mark took that call to a who other level and Dave ran with it and next thing I knew my eyes were leaking b/c that was exactly my story. I see all the Ramsey personalities try and do this but George & John are the only ones I see nail it like that in the way that Dave does. George is even more impressive being so young & able to do that.

[juliekostas]

I respect how both of these guys ask the difficult, important questions in order to truly help callers. God bless people with true problems.

As a nurse I can speak for all Nurses in saying that Brandi is the only nurse in the history of forever that’s loves to chart!

Rachel! I am so very sorry to hear about your mother. There is a drug to battle Alzheimers that is currently enrolling in a phase 3 trial called simufilim that is enrolling patients all over the country. One patient went from forgetting how to drive in his own neighborhood to visiting his daughter in Miami from NC....and drove himself

[CindyMcGuirk]

In addition to having the will, you need to SEND COPIES to people. My mother never sent a copy to anyone and ended up losing it all from dementia and someone who showed up at the last minute and pursued it. Really sad for the whole family.

We paid cash for our house we bought it from the bank no realtor fees from the courthouse for $100, 000! Best decision we ever made it’s gorgeous and the market was down at the time! I was 22 and my husband was 27 and we owned our house and cars no debt. 😊 our house now 7 years later is worth about $350, 000 to $400, 000!

It's teaching a man to fish, and not just handing him a meal. Love it!! What is best for an engaged couple, Total Money Makeover or FPU? As far as the mortgage comment, George's new catch phrase could be "The new FLEX is a paid off mortgage. " 😂 George sure likes the word Flex. ;)
