Ramsey is gaslighting here. Living wages are determined by going rents, gas, food, etc in your area. You paying 3000 a month when average rent is 1500 is not a living wage. You can’t even qualify for that apartment.

Imagine if someone called in and said “I paid off my debt, but now my boss wants to pay me less because I’m in a better financial position”

[DanRichter]

Funny how as soon as Dave starts speaking, the other guy instantly transforms into a bobblehead

[wesgander]

Wonder what he pays his daughter. I bet the whole budget thing does not apply to her.

[hannahhelton]

Dave needs more people on his team to challenge him.

Jobs thinking you should break you back for $14 are crazy

[bigbillscots]

So much could be said here, but the simplest thing is this. Have ZERO loyalty to your employer.

[karenhardie]

My budget is not his business. Dave is a multimillionaire that will get away with the lowest wages he can.

Having been deeply involved in running large teams of workers I can tell you that you should 100% pay your best workers generously. If you don't your hiring costs and training costs will increase to the point where you would be better off paying more to keep your best workers. Ideally the people who work for you have some kind of incentive for performance that increases your profits so they're sharing in the profits they create.

You can pay what you want. But don’t expect people to want to work for 7.25 an hour when they can go to Walmart for double that

[jimmymcgill]

And then he complains that you have all these openings? And wonder why they can't find workers?

Dave Ramsey: Men today are so lazy they simply don't want to work

Also Dave Ramsey: I should be able to pay you $10/hr if you're single and don't have a family to support

[barronweir]

Hearing these talks makes me happy I work for myself

[drjackliam]

I always tell people how crucial it is for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government and employers. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.

[Nevrix]

Always love the "what is a living wage?" question. Best way to know the person you're speaking with is either an idiot, or coming at you in bad faith, being purposefully obtuse.

[julioramirez]

Dave that’s discrimination based on familial status... yikes

[keneticchannel]

These low-wage-paying folks are usually the same folks complaining about, "Nobody wants to work these days!" 😂

[Aru]

I would never want a boss that meddled in my finances.

[Taylor-kpbi]

If you require human labor to run your business but can’t pay a livable wage for it, then you can’t afford to be in business.

[geoffdruin]

I don’t think your need my personal information as far as budget for a job. I should make the decision whether or not I can live on the salary. That is part of being an adult.
