Lack of financial literacy in this country is one of the main sad reasons why the average American doesn’t even have money in their account to cover and emergency that’s $1k. We can do better

I sometimes watch these videos to make me feel better (and blessed) about my situation

This is why i need to be on your show. We're starting to read your book, and when we saw "14% interest" we laughed RIGHT OUT LOUD because we've NEVER seen less than 24% on any card in our life.
We'll never get out of debt 😭😭😭

Best feeling was getting rid of all 4 of my credit cards.

Wow the way you put this made it click for me in a way it never has before 😮

Hey Ramit! Can you link which one of your videos this is from? Would love to see the rest of the interview!

Banks should charge a higher minimum pay to let people become aware of how poor their financial situation is

And you can't forget with a credit card, it's APD vs. APY so the vig climbs higher, quicker.

I love how Vogue’s video editor had to add this: *cilantro, as if to say that coriander isn’t correct. Coriander is the same as cilantro.

This is how rich people stay rich though. They're backing these loans, getting equity guaranteed by the government and then getting the interest.

And the fact that most Americans finance their cars is what boggles my mind. No wonder everyone is so poor and complaining about the economy all the time.

So if that's all you can do, what's the solution chief?

[ZackAngelSmith]

that for every 100 dollars he loans
