My wife and I dated, or were engaged for a total of 7 years. We waited until we finished college.
We are now married for 44 years and are baby step multi millionaires.

For the caller with $40, 000 missing. Never look back on ppl who have abused your trust. Learn from it and move forward, never look back. I hope he takes Dave’s help.

When Dave tells people to g wet married already and they come back with “well it’s too expensive” it costs like $30 to go get a marriage certificate at the courthouse. People care more about the wedding than they do the marriage

[Reg-vyph]

You’re right Mr. Dave about praying for our leaders. Who better to change their lives and actions than God

RIP to Ethan from Minnesota because Dave ripped you to shreds at 33:00 😆

The way Dave brought hope to the caller with the trucking business is why I drink his cool aid. God bless Ramsey.

When i was going to college i envisioned always working and living in my local community near my college. I just retired. I have worked now for 8 companies and in 9 different cities, in 7 different states.
Each time we moved, my wife and I looked at it as a new adventure. We have seen so much of our country via local travel, that we would not have had we stayed in one area.
There were many positives, as well as a few negatives along the way. But overall, I/ we do not regret our unexpected journey.

A marriage is completed when the certificate is signed. A ceremony is the party people picture in their head when they hear "wedding". Which one do you think the law cares about and which one does instagram care about?

With help from Ramsey Solutions I'm making over 3x my living expenses this month and putting it to great use!! Well, I did fall off the bandwagon slight this month - but, I noticed it & will not repeat it for next month. Go me!!

[mchl]

Dave kills me when he calls the guys honey!!! It is Soooo funny to me. Dave is a grandpa 🫡🫡😂🤣

[miloseveggies]

2:00:00 always chuckle when superfans call in claiming Dave changed their lives and then not understand that lending 5k to loser family is not a good idea.

[Alisha-nlqh]

I dated my ex-husband for a decade before we got married and I didn't add him to my bank account until after we got married and I regret it so badly. He stole money from me and refused to get off the account that I had since I was 16 years old. Never again. I trauma around that and I will never allow someone access to my bank account again.

Dave gave George a heck of a introduction at the beginning of the show!! He's one of Dave's favorites!!

[michaelcalles]

It's so good to have some voices of reason in our chaotic world, thanks guys!!!

[Cyber_Diva]

Dave: Brush your teeth cuz you’ll want some later!

Me: 😮😂😂

If you are interested, find out more about the "Nothing is Wasted" guy - he is super creepy and many people suspect him of hiring killers to murder his wife. There is a lot of evidence in official transcripts.

[sagmeister]

TO BRADLEY: when you do put your foot down on no longer loaning family and friend money, pay attention to how they react to that. Including your wife. She might try to guilt and shame you for taking a stand. Those who are willing to take advantage of you don’t like it when boundaries are set.

[prenticejohnson]

I can't wait till a man tells him I'm not your honey lmao😂
