Dave: “How can I help?”

Caller: let me tell you my entire life story before getting to the point.

[brycemiller]

So many people don’t know how to give RELEVANT details. This was brutal to listen to

[froggore]

Dave: asks a simple yes or no question
Caller: begins answer by reciting the preamble to the US Constitution

If you have to pull money from your 401k for the down payment you can’t afford the house. Don’t sacrifice your future for your now.

I loved the comment Anthony made on the show where he said “I wasn’t wasting money renting because I wasn’t ready”. Changed my life

[Butterbean]

She's not going to be laughing once she realizes she gave her life to the bank.

[christinerudd]

I’ve never been happier until I downsized to a 960 sq foot home. Zero debt, no stress, can work literally anywhere for any amount and be totally fine every month. I can’t understand the necessity for a huge house with a crazy high mortgage.

[lightlux]

Her first mistake was answering Dave in a way that didn’t allow him to reply “Better than I deserve.”

[CreativeCashflow]

Replacing "Why is this happening to me" with "what is this trying to teach me" is a game changer.

[onebridge]

She’s not broke. She’s illiquid. She can’t afford a $760k house, but people want what they want! People rarely follow this advice because they’re not even following the baby steps.

[EmmanentDoom]

I can’t wrap my mind around a $750k house making $130k a year. I make only $20k less than that and I wouldn’t spend $300k on a house.

[brosdealership]

Sell everything I have including retirement to move into a home that is probably massively inflated at the moment. (Sounds like a good idea).

[fleurelise]

It's a pity people keep forgetting that a home ownership cost is not just the price of the house. When Dave asked her about having an emergency fund, I really hope she heard him, because the cost of settling in and sorting whatever you meet when you settle in can be almost the price of the house.

[JB-jkow]

Lol she thinks she's so smart and doing things right, love it when Dave stomps on their egos

[MERIDETH-ur]

Dave says "stop, I don't want to hear all of that"! Love it!

[bizdrip-truebusinessknowle]

Being broke is a hard way of living a life. It is terrible

[kara]

The theme this week is: "Fancy degree, but zero common sense"

[MichiganSandman]

The giggling when Dave is trying to give her advice says he’s talking to a child

[WhoDevv]

I’m surprised Dave let her go on so long saying nothing lol

[JustinCase]

Thank goodness that she held back on disclosing to Papa Dave that she just purchased a Tesla.
