I reached FF in mid 40s, but only 5 years after hearing about it and realizing that it can be done. Now I'm doing it for my kids. They don't know it and are busy going to school/choosing major. They have the energy and drive, but I'm hoping to have enough when they discover that working for someone else is not really what they want to do. Happened to me.

Dave Ramsey saved my financial life. Debt free is the best.

[michellealyssa]

I am convinced educating people about this is your life’s purpose

[pamelaburleson]

Dave Ramsey's sweet spot is helping people get out of debt. His advice is perfect for people who are drowning in debt and bad habits. Beyond that phase of getting out of debt, personality, preference, and inclination should be taken into consideration for where and how to go next.

I love that you say that this is your advice but to do what works for you. Many other financial gurus demand “do as I do”.

That last bit about the 1 hour learning to 3 hours of doing ratio was something I hadn't come across before. I really like it. I'm going to be implementing it immediately.

Dave Ramsey never limits you in your pursuits. What he says is get out of debt, stay debt free, invest at least 15% and by the way you can do it along the way building your own business.

You inspire a 65 year old man! I am still useful and enjoying life helping others.

I honestly think this is your best video yet! Authentic, helpful insights and advice. Thanks Gabe.

Thanks Gabe - needed this today. Im a 100% a one man band. I have a Mobile Pizza business in the UK. Im a sports masseur (on occasion) and Im building a new business - coaching/productivity etc, which includes an actual new Brand. Thats due to start next month. I watch many of your videos and a lot DO help. You're more relatable to and down to earth than most of the other other 'up their own A77'' folk on here. Cheers...I needed a kick up my OWN butt today! Well done for the hard work and progress you've made!

I love the idea of the 3/1 rule. I do read a ton as well and I don't do nearly enough of what I have learned. We have the same idea about Dave Ramsey, lol.

[AccompanyMe-rq]

My goals are around the same vicinity. I watch these videos and I'm like " yep", confirmed!

[timpenick]

You might’ve answered this is another video so apologies but what are the best financial books/podcasts you’ve found that you would recommend somebody trying to get more into financial independence and improve their overall financial literacy? Love your videos and thanks for all the great content!

[breestout]

Awesome video Gabe! I registered to join the workshop, I’m excited to continue learning. I left my job one week ago. I’m 24 years old and my husband and I just bought our first duplex. We’re house hacking!! The 9 to 5 is not for me, I’m a bit more entrepreneurial minded. I’m using this time off of working a job to read a ton of books and understand which type of business I’d like to try to grow.

Really good video, watched a few times to soak up these gems. I appreciated the reminder to be patient and keep at primary goal for 5ish years and know that I will accomplish a lot by that time. Also good reminder that focus and concentration leads to success (utilizing the one thing and 80/20 principle), that’s how 10x my income (current career) with 5-10 years of intense focus and will do it again with my second endeavor (personal finance education on YouTube; good people in this niche ; )

[JeffTeeples]

Great video Gabe! I’m happy to see you succeed with a practicable approach. So many think ‘every day people’ can’t make this stuff work. You’ve inspired me to make a lot of changes over the years, and let me tell you, it doesn’t get more average Joe than me. I am THEE JAG and I’m here to tell people that ANYONE can implement what you teach.

[beebsblue]

I love how your videos are so authentic

[coastaljan]

You're an amazing young man, Gabe.

[MaureenFruehauf-tq]

Nice video, business is great but it takes huge capital to excel in business, I knew I didn't have enough capital to start the type of business I wanted so I had to push myself into stock and cryptocurrency trading now I have 2 businesses that are doing well

[elizabethzierke]

Ramsey is great for beginners. You are great for thinking outside the box.
