      My wife and I owe between two mortgages 310k But one is an income creating property so our goal is to have them both paid off with in 7 to 10 years. And yes it can create much stress but now that we are on a system of a debit snowball it helps to lesson the stress knowing that we are deleting our debit on an increasingly faster and faster pace. We cant wait until we can scream the debit free scream.

Chopped up our credit cards on the 2nd class and we have been on a monthly zero-based budget ever since.

    I recently start watching Dave's videos and started following him. I paid off a credit card last year then cancelled it and I was contemplating if I should go into my bank account to pay off all my student loan debt but wanted to just let minimum payment payout because I wanted to have money in my bank account still. After watching Dave's videos and starting to realize that I was being STUPID because by letting the interest grow I am pretty much doubling my student load payments. I decided to pay off everything and even though I am starting to build my money from scratch again I am glad to say that as of yesterday, I AM NO LONGER IN DEBT AND DEBT FREE. One goal accomplished now it's time to build wealth freely and without any stupid debts.

    I was so excited paying off a credit card, paying off one of my student loans, and buying a car in cash. Yet I still have to avoid the mall, watching certain ads on TV, and hanging with spenders to stay focused. I used to post a picture of the home I want to buy on the frige. Now I have "debt free in 2020" posted. 🌹

I was £20000 in debt, Now i am on baby step 3 and with 4 months of expensive in my emergency fund. I now feel i can breath, I'm so happy with my finances now, and just laugh at everyone making finical suicide. Many thanks Dave Ramsey.

    This is what my well intentioned parents taught me:
    “We don’t do art as anything more than a hobby. It’s play and nothing more. It doesn’t pay and it’s very important that we make a good living and take care of ourselves independently. It is abhorrent to be a burden to anyone else. “
    “We don’t start businesses or become entrepreneurs. There is too much risk. You won’t have healthcare. You’ll probably be a failure anyway. “
    “Get a college degree and work for the man. Contribute to your 401k”
    “Finance your education, your house, and your vehicle. “
    “You need to establish good credit. “
    “It’s ok to hate your job. Everyone hates their job. Get over it.”
    “Being your own boss is the most overrated thing in the world.”
    Now I’m 47 and trying to get it right. Hope it’s not too late. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet to undo the mistakes of the past or to get back the years I’ve lost.

    I’m trying to figure out why people would thumbs down a person that’s trying to help them be free of debt, something that breaks up marriages, causes mental and physical health problems. I think debt has truthfully become an addiction, people know its bad for them but they can’t give it up....

    Dave you helped me on a path where I paid off 42k in student loans in 2 years. I finished in 2017. Thank you! My wife and I are too shy to apply to do a debt free scream, but I wanted to send this your way anyway. Because you helped us kick debt to the curb, she is now a stay at home mom. Our 1 yr old replaced our student loans in our budget! Totally worth the 2 years of hamburger helper and deep sacrifices. We kept expenses for 2 people under 1k/month. Now we are able to give a child the life she deserves instead of giving it all to banks!

    Mr. Ramsey I love you man. You have reinforced and reinvigorated values in me that were taught by my parents, but largely ignored until recently. I am well on my way to being debt free, and retired with a few million (about 28 years from now). I can so clearly see my future and the future of my daughter, and how bright they will be. It motivates me every single day, and I happily work many jobs, seven days a week, because I know exactly where it will bring my family to some day. I cannot thank you enough… life is good!
