Unbelievable story. Any excuses I had before watching this video just went out the window. Smh.
DIY Apprentice ... I’m sooo wasteful 😭
Amen
Exactly, ready to go slash some more things off my budget that I just “can’t live without” 🙄🤦🏽♀️🥲
Amen!
2 years ago i watched this video and was inspired to go on my own debt free journey... I got into debt because of a loved one's medical needs and eventually funeral, now i came back to say thank you and screaming all the way from the philippines...i am debt free!!!
R P you go!!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@Shenieta thank you...no feeling can compare being able to get your pay and actually keep most of it
Woohooo!
Super proud of you
Hey y’all here’s an update on her:
I’m her niece and I was the same age as Isaac (where 14 days apart). She got remarried in 2019 and had to more kids. One is a toddler and the other is a baby. Quetzally got married in 2021 to her high school sweet heart and are very happy together. Isaac plays many sports but his favorite is football. Ethan is a very talented saxophone player now and today is actually his birthday. He’s 13 now. But yes I remembered this being a very hard time for them but my family always did our family to help out. But looking at this video today makes me heartfelt about how much they have grown. I luv them all so much ❤
❤❤❤
If she can do it, I KNOW I can! She's put me to shame; I have no excuses. None. May God continue to bless Cinthya and her beautiful family!
Cinthya, you are a true american woman. Take my hat off with deep respect.
Well I just cried like a baby!! What an amazing & strong mother!
I tried not to cry...😢. It didn't work. Praise God!
Same here 😭😭
Update: I just watched this again....cried twice.
Seriously what is my problem??? If she can do it so can I! This si the best! Can't stop crying!
+dooby787 You can do it! Do a budget and make a game plan for your money!
+dooby787 You can do it! Do a budget and make a game plan for your money!
You and me both. LoL.
That was truly amazing.
Gotta ask yourself what they're _not_ saying. $16k income, paid off $60k in debt in a little under 2 years. Plus debt accumulates interest. The math does not add up. Where did she get help?
Greenspud Trades - Her yearly salary is 50k but they lived off 16K. The numbers add up to pay off 60k in debt in 22 months.
My favorite debt free story yet. What a beautiful family. Humble and strong mom and gorgeous and joyful children. God Bless Dave for wrapping them in love.
Awesome family congrats blessing 2020.
Single mom here, bawled like a baby too Dave! I will PAY OFF MY DEBT OF 50 000 TOO! AMEN!
Cinthya from Greenville, SC was the very first debt free scream I heard on Dave Ramsey. It still brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. How are her and the children doing?
I love this story...usually it's folks with big incomes paying off debt...and I love her respectfulness and gratitude. A lovely woman...inside and out.
Lorraine Henry I agree the most inspiring thus far
Yup
The was beyond touching. If you're reading this have a blessed day. You can get through it :)
Thank you. I needed that today. God bless, friend.
She's a great woman and she can do anything I'm. Sure her husband is watching a heaven for her and her family.
John, thanks for the recent subscribe! Welcome to The Dave Ramsey Show!
I just finished my bachelor of science in nursing... and after watching this, my goal is to pay off my student loans and line of credit ASAP!!!!!!! Ugh
Congrats! Just a tip, there are some companies (hospital) who will help you pay it off. Take a look into benefit packages when searching for a job. Some people don't even know that certain jobs will pay your tuition to return to school. Many blessings. I hope you can pay them off quickly.
Thank you! I live in Canada.. And know that rural hospitals have some cash incentives/grants when relocating (around 4-6k) for a year of service. Which is nice!
Wow congratulations I begin my BSN program in January next year. I've never been more excited for anything
You will, if you can see it in your mind you can hold it in you hands
2 years later - how's it going?
I remember watching this 5-6 years ago. I was watching all these debt free screams to keep me motivated to pay off all of my family debt as we were in baby step 2. Thank you for motivating me. We are now in baby step 6
Now I felt that debt free scream!!!!
I listened to this on the radio earlier today. But, to watch it...has brought tears to my eyes. This was such a touching and inspiring debt free story. God continue to give her/them the grace to make each day without her husband/their father.
I did actually cry when I heard this. God is good. Nothing is impossible.
Beautiful story. Widowed, single mom only making 50k and is debt free. She is an inspiration.
"Thank you Lord for work that matters"
Yup. Amen.
single mom of two, watching this i was encouraged
Every time
I need motivation I listen to her story again and again. 😢
Same! 🥺
Not only is she superwoman, just watch how her daughter beams with pure admiration and respect for her mom.
No doubt it was difficult being that age and dealing with people at school having everything she couldn’t have but now she is just ages older in wisdom.
What 5 idiots dislike this video, Bless the hearts of this family on what they've been thru, Now they have a house paid off!!!! This family Is absolutely amazing! GOD IS GOOD!
The "idiots" who realize that the math of living on a $16k annual income doesn't even in totality add up to cover the $60k in debt... how do you pay of $60k of interest-accumulating debt when at max you made $30k in that time period? They aren't disclosing everything that worked to her advantage.
She probably has social security for the kids. Please don't spoil this story for the rest of us. This lady is so young to be a widow. God bless her! She has a heavy load.
@@GreenspudTrades if you watched the video you'd see that her income was $50K. They "lived" on $16K through many sacrifices, so that the remaining $34K of her income all went to debt. Not calling you an idiot but you are certainly mistaken
@@GreenspudTrades You didn't pay attention. $50K income, lived on $16K by getting absolutely crazy Gazelle Intense.
@@GreenspudTrades 50k income you idiot. And 4 of them lived on 16k a year. She said she pretty much cut out everything except for water and electricity to save money. Learn to listen
Here 8 years later in 2023 balling like baby 😭😭 So motivating! Definitely going to go hug my husband right now !
This lady is a treasure. My eyes are flooded
0o0o0 that made me cry!!! Thank you Lord for Dave Ramsey Ministry. Who else is happy that Dave went Broke LOL If he never hit rock bottom, we would of never of heard his Ministry!!!
I'm ugly crying watching this. So inspiring! And what a wonderful example for her children!
I love Dave being speechless at his desk! He must have been floating up on cloud nine unable to feel the ground for a week or two after they came through his studio!!!! I hope she is happily remarried in God's time - she and those kids would be such a blessing to another good man (her husband being the first, but I imagine this woman's dad and father-in-law are also in that category) - maybe these 3 great kids will have half siblings one day - what a blessing they would be to those younger half-siblings!!
It takes a lot to make me cry, but I couldn’t help myself watching this.
What a woman. Incredible story. She's an inspiration.
When she said she cut the electricity off I was like she wasn’t playing out here. She said cut it all off. But she did it! Awesome
S. Holmes I thought the same! No power?! No problem! She kept on going!!!
I have no excuses. I have watched lots of these videos for encouragement and motivation. This one is my favorite. God Bless them.
I watch this video every year around Xmas time to remind myself how lucky I am without debt and how inspiring Cynthia is! She has a great head on her shoulder... Bless her family!!
Oh my goodness ! Lord, I pray you continue to pour your abundant blessings upon this Family !
Tears falling! Such an amazing lady. What a legacy she is making for her children.
I'm in tears the whole time I'm watching this. I really felt this one deeply my father died of brain cancer when i was 8 years old. My mother raised me and my two siblings by herself with help from family. I'm 46 years old now. What an Inspiration their story is. There's really no excuse not to win in life or be debt free. God bless them always. I would like to thank Dave. He's my father I never had growing up. Thanks Dave for all you do and your team.
Inspiring story
MrTofu13 what a beautiful way to put it. I hope DR sees this sometime to get another heart melt., which he so deserves.
You can hear the sacrifice, the struggle and the triumph. Amazing.
I cried!! They are the best story!! I will never complain about this debt snowball!
I live without children, make $50k and can't pay off my home. I guess I have to make some changes to my spending habits.
HOLY SMOKES! I never comment on videos, but this video seriously brought tears to my eyes! I couldn't believe how much her story moved me. I'm grappling with the idea of going back to school (2 years left for a BA), while being engaged, looking for an apartment for me and my fiance, AND trying to remain debt free....all while living in NYC on a low income. It's so mentally stressful at times. You just want to give up on the idea of school (which makes you give up on the idea of making more money), or a wedding and just going to city hall, etc. But I know we'll figure something out. I'm 29 and I know that we just have to make wise decisions. Cinthya's story just shows me how we just need to push and we'll be able to make it.
i admire the innocent kids. lovely family. gald for you
He came out!!!!! They are so inspiring!!
Wow! She is an unbelievable woman…. so what excuses does anyone have now?
I am crying so hard! She cut off the power! My God! What a strong lady!
not gonna lie I cried a Lil the Lord truly keeps a family strong!!! many blessings to your family
Cinthya you are more then a phenomenal woman... your kids are blessed beyond believe to have a mother like you.
😭😭😭 what a story!
So, so moving! Perfect response by Dave: Thank you, Lord, for meaningful work. YES. What a difference Ramsey’s make. ❤️
I was warned though but didn't listen as always stubborn me, didn't get the tissue, now my clothes are soaked!
Any excuse, disappointment, pain, dislikes, negativity, that I may have,have just been blown away by this AMAZING WOMAN!
I thought I had it rough and now doing better, but this woman just put me to shame in a good way.
There are too many lessons to learn that they are just too lengthy to list, but for this family, to experience sudden sickness and unexpected death and still come out as a champion is beyond impressive.
She even blew my mind by not forgetting to send her sincere appreciation to those that are important in their journey.
God bless you and your family as you continue to win in life and may your husband countinue to smile down on you as he rest in peace.
This is truly inspiring!! The strength and emotion of the 15 year old daughter brought me to tears. Those kid are going to grow up with a bond like no other...
I heard this on the podcast and teared up. When I watched the video, I bawled. Such a strong, determined woman. She's an excellent role model for her children and an inspiration to us all. I'm so happy that she was able to realize her and her husband's dream.
What an incredible mother she is to her kids. She seems like such a lovely sweet lady and did something so amazing to set her kids onto the right path. Really hope when I have kids one day I can half the parent she is
It’s crazy that people made fun of her… a good reminder to always remember you never know the circumstances of other people and should never belittle them for taking extreme action to save money.
God bless Cinthya and her family for sharing your painful, but inspirational story. Thank God for Dave Ramsey & his team. I have two years before I can do my debt free scream. These video's really do help keep me motivated. This is my go to video when I feel like I want to give up on the program. It will be worth the sacrifices me and my family make. :)
The story is inspiring! At the end when they do the scream, you could see that Cinthya is a strong woman. How she screams in the end was very touching. She has been through a lot, and finally made it.
My nose is now plugged and my ears are clogged. I needed that cry. Sad yet amazing story. Many blessings.
Saw comments posted here from 4 years ago. I have no doubt this mom is still doing great and is changing her family tree. She will be millionaire sooner than any of us expect.
I’ve watched this many times over the last couple of years and it brings tears to my eyes every time. What a powerful legacy this beautiful, strong and courageous mother is leaving for her children. Dennis was an absolute stud of a husband and father with his strength and leadership. I pray for God’s blessings to continue to rain down on this family and upon Dave’s ministry. God is good indeed!
To God be the glory!!!
You never know someone’s story 😢!!!
Absolutely AweMazimg!!!
A million likes and tears of joy for this precious family.
Just WOW!!... I couldn't hold back just listening. What an amazing super woman. What really had made me burst into tears, was her debt free scream. I could feel her emotion and he relief. If i could have half of her determination I would be a great role model. Amazing.
It did bring tears to my eye. MY the Lord continue to shine blessings and favor upon her and the kids.
And there’s people all over America in all sorts of situations that Dave has helped. He’s been a blessing to so many. This lady is superwoman. Her husband couldn’t have chosen better.
I never cry. But this brought on the water works.
I can’t stop crying watching this, what an inspiration! This gave me the push I needed to keep going on my debt free journey.
One of the most inspiring debt free scream. God bless this young lady and her children.
🥺😭🙏❤️ shes a blessed woman!
God bless you Dave.
THIS!!!! WHAT AN INSPIRATION!!!! I FELT THIS!!!
Just the way she talks about her husband is pure love. This is truly an epitome of what Dave says that you cannot win this battle without your spouse (if you are married). Even though her husband is already gone, he still motivates her and now look where she and their kids are. It's amazing amazing! This is my most favorite debt free scream yet! This is actually the first time I saw Dave actually cried and hugged the person and actually gave something to the family besides Chris Hogan's book.
Wow! This was so touching. I cried like a baby. I feel so hopeful and inspired to achieve my dream of debt-freedom and and financial freedom. Thank you so much for your story Cynthia and thank you Dave Ramsey for using your gift, talent and wisdom to change our lives! God Bless!
"Thank you Lord for work that matters". Thank you Dave.
I'm motivated that this is possible! I'm a widow with three children as well!
sitting here in my living room crying like a baby. what a truly inspirational woman and such a wonderful role model for those three precious children. blessings to her and her family!
Cried. Like. A. Baby!!!!! Omg! This is so inspirational! With the wisdom of God, and the willingness to do it, anything is possible! I’m in Greenville and it’s good to see Greenville put on the map!!
Every time I need an inspiration, I come back to this...
Omg, this is such an emotional story i had to go hide in the bathroom and compose myself. God bless this family.
I cried watching this one 😭😭 a lot lol...I can’t wait until my wife and family can stand there and do our debt free scream!
every Time I start to get Discourage and I watch this video, I feel blessed and right to being positive.
Just an amazing story. I truly do not have any excuses not completing the plan and getting out of dept after seeing this. She even turned off her power! With three children. How does someone do that and still stand tall and go back to work. Still at aw about this story.
Oh my goodness, what a very inspiring story. The tears just would not stop flowing, but there might have been some onions around somewhere, lol. What an awesome Testimony! Very inspired right now. Thanks Cinthya.
Congrats to Cinthya and kids! That was so inspiring! We've been on this debt free journey for quite a while now and that was the motivation I needed today to continue on. Wow. I'm bawling my eyes out - you are an incredible mom!
Geezo made me cry like a baby. I should never complain about anything!!
Is someone cutting onions? The tears are pouring! Great job and such a wonderful, blessed family!
I'm in tears. God Bless this family. Watch over them.
I am so humbled by this superwoman. God bless her and her family.
Oh wow God bless her family... I am balling my eyes out. She has given me so much hope... No more excuses.
Whenever I think I can’t do something I come back to this video. God bless you Cynthia❤️
Recent single mom... I’m so inspired. I will achieve this with the help of the Lord 🙏🏽
Look at how proud her eldest daughter is of her mother. She is beaming. I'm sure all the kids helped.
I choked watching and hearing her experience, struggle and triumph. The husband is screaming in heaven as well. God bless this family
This is the first time I’ve heard this story and let me tell you I am bawling ! What a story!!
I always come back to this every time I need motivation. What a wonderful woman. God bless her ❤️
I think term life insurance is so important for young couples especially if they have huge debt load and doubly if they have kids. A guy like that could easily have gotten a really cheap term life insurance policy at 28 provided he passed the medical exam.
Veerendra Jadhav how do you know he did not have this? If he did she was smart enough to NOT apply it to debt! See what i mean?
This woman is an absolute warrior!! I have the same amount of debt as she did and make about the same amount. The only difference is that I don’t have any mouths to feed other than my own. I have no excuses anymore! I’m inspired!
cant stop crying!! god bless them and God bless you Dave!! Keep up the food work!
Wow. She is amazing! That is so impressive.
How cute are they! Awesome tribute to their Daddy! Would love to see their follow up story 3 years later.
when the hardship of my own debt free journey is weighing me down, I would always look up this video to give me hope
I’ve watched this story so many times.. thank you Cynthia for sharing your story
