    It is really hard to be weird as there is a lot of judgement. But when you realize that judgement comes from broke people that are just strugling to live, you realize that being weird is the right thing to do.

      J S this is a major part of “ what’s wrong with society”, being normal, debt for keeping up with the Jones’ isn’t the answer, relying on the gov isn’t the answer, no plan for the future means you have no future! This is why we have one car ( mini van) a utility trailer and a home, we have started heating with wood (that we gather) vegetables that we grow, and rely on pedal power when ever possible. I don’t drive 150 miles round trip to work anymore, and my wife doesn’t need a car, almost everything is local. Society says you need this for your house, heat, a source of water, sewage, and electricity. Now explain how the Amish can live in our societies, it is simple... they are willing to put in the work to maintain their lifestyle, and produce more for less, they are famous for stretching a dollar, and not building debt. So if they can do it then we can at least live within our limits. And please never ever call me normal, I would never want to be like the rest of society financially or otherwise... if we were all normal (same) this world would be mighty boring, without, humor, controversy, or even a balance to society. I believe that society needs to change, and grasp a firm grip in reality, because unless we start living with the basic needs in mind, then we will never save a dime!

    This is one of my favorite RUclips videos in my whole life. I was the weird one always. And many people have judged me. But being weird (studying "unimportant" stuffs, not going to parties or drinking at all) helped me go to one of the best universities in my country.
    It's not always easy to be not "normal" because we are social beings, and it hurts when people judge you, but the worst is that it makes you sceptical about yourself and lose self-confidence. Thanks for the great video Dave for validating my path. Love, from South Korean 21 young woman!!!

    My mother inspired me financially with her minimalist lifestyle, but what impacted me most wasn't anything she said to me, but what others said of her.
    When she was a young hotshot accountant/CFO/CTO(her boss was really stingy and she was really competent), other co-workers would see her pull up in her cheap 2004 Toyota into a lot full of expensive new cars owned by her subordinates... only for the front desk receptionist to remind her on the way in and on the way out that she had multiple unclaimed paychecks just standing by for collection.
    "Oh, right," she would always say. "I'll grab them later."
    At the time, I thought this was the ultimate flex, and even now, I still think so.

    I discovered debt free at 21 my ex threw me into a whack of credit debt. After we broke up I moved home to fix my situation. Paid off 10,000 in credit debt, saved to pay for college in cash. Paid for my car in cash. Used an inheritance well for a down payment on a home. Now I'm 25 and my only debt is my mortgage. I'm never going to give to worry about being in the struggle of a list of people you owe money to again. Cannot wait to have my house paid off!

    I'm currently on Baby step 2 and are down to my last outstanding debt-Student Loans. I should have my 4th loan paid off next month and hoping to be debt free sometime in 2017. I wish I had discovered Dave Ramsey and his total Money Makeover in high school so I never would've fallen for the Student Loan lie.

    I had a lot of debt i payed off.I got all my debt down to my student loans.Now i am trying my best to pay them off.On a minmum wage job.But its better then nothing.Edacation did not work out for me.Waste time and money and effort.But i woke up and i am paying my bill's.And you know what now that i got most of the little credit card debt out of my life and closed the cards .And settled with the school i was going too.I got my debt down by a lot.And i feel blessed.But i am not going to lie income has been really hard these past 3 year's.It's been a big hard struggle to pay the student loan's.But if i stay on top of the debt and attack them each month.I should be debt free in 1 year and 1 month time.Hopefully if everything goes right.My bill's fro the student loan are all up to date.i don't have anyone calling me ever.I always try to save a little.But hey it's ok.I am blessed for how my life is right now.And i am doing it.

    Personal experience, I was so close to sign a $700 car payment for 6 yrs two years ago, had a choice between a preowned and older car same model but then I realised I'd he broke with the preowned just so I can show off and feel successful or that I'm somebody important so I went for the older model with plenty of life left in the car very reliable and I get to keep money in my pocket for saving, investments, and spend every now and then. The best part, able to rent my own place with my brother. Yep I'm glad I declined the expensive, sporty car :)

    Just started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago. I just finished total money makeover. I'm 30 years old and the only debt I have is my mortgage. I had already completed your baby steps before I knew what baby steps were. I just always thought not having a bunch of debt was common sense but I watch your videos and realize how dumb people are. I enjoy your content.

    In today's times, normality and sound logic is consider abnormal. Morality and logic is against the societies way of thinking. Why is it that everywhere you look, all you being told to buy stuff you can afford because you are going to save ? This should be illegal. Lack of responsibility and media brainwashing has this result on today's society. If you live beyond your means and beyond what you can afford, you will be broke and will become just another statistic ! I am glad for people like Dave who has morals, wisdom and experience to share with anyone who is willing to listen, learn and CHANGE FOR BETTER. Thank you Dave

    i wish i had seen your videos years ago in 2018 when i had a lot of money and was living at home saving 80% of my cheques most of the time. i wish i knew more about investing and saving smartly. i was going through such a rough time towards the end of that year and ended up homeless the following year with barely any money in my account. letting my emotions control my money caused me to be financial insecure right now and i take full responsibility for that. i am awakening everyday. i am learning everyday and doing what i need to do to get back on track. for the longest time, i couldn't get my savings higher than $1500. now i have saved up $3000 on top of that in just two months working minimum wage jobs. i am nowhere where i need to be financially but i don' t feel as stressed as i was before. still working on changing my path in life. i want to go back to school and get a degree, start a career, start a business, invest and save more, have a car, a house, no debt. but i recognize i have to start small and work my way up. i will be successful.
