I raised two kids without a car...we walked or took the bus/train. We always lived in town so we could get to all the essential store, Doctors, school, grocery store. In a emergency we called a cab ( much cheaper than paying for a car, insurance, winter tires, maintenance and gas ) so we are now debt free and paid off the mortgage on our house and the rental house we own. With home deliveries nowadays I can get everything at my door in one day or less.
This. You’re fantastic.👍👌
Good thing you didn't live in Michigan cuz it's illegal. You can't even borrow a car.
“The math is not working. Math does not give you a pass, math does not believe in grace, math does not believe in mercy. It’s going to come for you!”
This is important and I needed to hear it!
Lauren has allowed "victim" to become her identity
@@Nigriff unfortunately, that happens when you're in an abusive relationship. Dave called it.
Dave's advice to Lauren was spot on. 🎉 It's so easy when we go through stress and trauma to feel trapped and devoid of options, and the best way to get out of there is to decide and move forward through the pain.
Lauren has allowed victimhood to be her identity.
@@NigriffI agree and now she can work to get past it and move forward
Definitly - easy for us to have limiting beliefs
I'm a simple man. I see Dave in the thumbnail, I click
Exactly!!!
Same!
I'm a simple man. I see John Delony in the thumbnail and go to the next episode. 😮

So true, hard to give advice how bad credit cards are for you. When they’re so hook on getting points. I paid off 5 credit cards , close accounts and cut them up. I will be out of debt by August 8, 2024 Debt free Yay 🎉 👏🏻🥳
They are "bad" only for the undisciplined. They have many advantages for those of us who are disciplined. I check my accounts every morning and pay off charges as soon as they post (usually two days later.) My airline cards have paid for themselves many times over as I travel a lot to see my grandkids and do not have to pay bag fees and I get priority check-in and boarding, I get food for the church pantry with no cost to me from my Sam's card that I use for gas (which is cheaper at Sam's and which I would have to buy anyway), and I use points from my other major card to get gift cards and gifts for special occasions for family and friends (which I don't have to figure into my budget.)
The cards are not bad. Some people who have them are bad are managing finances. I have a store card that gives me added 30 percent off. Then I pull out my debit card to pay off the bill before I leave the register. I have cards with Fire Stone and Best Buy that are six to 18 months same as cash. I pay it off within the time period and pay no interest rather than have to pay a large sum immediately for car repairs or a new laptop or whatever I need.
@@Trustbutverify2651well if everyone was ‘disciplined’ how would the CC company make money and pay customers’ points? It’s not a good business to be a part of as Ramsey has explained a few times on his show.
@@Trustbutverify2651 congratulations. You've made her point!
There is nothing wrong with credit cards if used responsible. It is almost impossible to do anything without one. Most hotels require one to check in, if you fly, rent a car.
Guys, Michigan residence get a discount going to a Michigan College. If we go to an out of state college, we pay a premium.
Do they think she could just go shopping for medical school acceptances? It’s hard to get in the medical school. When you get accepted you grab it.
I was a single mother twice over. Lived with family and went back to school in 2002. I went to a tech school debt was 10,000 after a credit for being a single parent. Fast forward, I have been at the same company for almost 19 yrs. Paid off my student loan and am still raising a 16yr old. I made the decision when I was pregnant with my youngest was to move away from the city. I bought a mobile home in a nice park. Paid off the mobile home so my lot rent is 350 a month that is it. I have no debt at this point and the reason why is I live cheap. I tell my son, futher education is important but not a 4 yr degree that is going to be at least 80,000. Go to a tech school. my 401k is at 20 percent, I also have a pension. My son started working at 14 . That is his money now because I am trying to teach him, you have to work hard to get anywhere in life.
MD here. I don't think you get through med school in the US for less than that. actually, I think that is a bargain. scary but true.
The idea is to not take on debt to do it. Do you want to go see a doctor who NEEDS to push certain pharmaceuticals in order to make his debt payment?
@@kratostomatoes8587 What kind of crazy logic are you using? Do you really think doctors NEED to push pharmaceuticals to pay their med school student loans? Is that why you think doctors give prescriptions? 🤣🤣🤣
Except for one (very wealthy family) I have never met a surgeon without 250,000.00 debt. I’ve been in the OR for 22 years, it has just gotten worse over the years.
@@Trustbutverify2651 Showing your ignorance. Doctors get kickbacks from the pharma companies for writing certain prescriptions as well as vaccinating a certain portion of their clientele.
This was my thought. She is going to a state school, not an Ivy League or private school
How does one "listen to Dave for a long time" and also react "wow" to the suggestion of cut up the cards and have a zero credit score.
I have one credit card with a $2500 balance. Minimum payment is $100. I paid 1k last month and plan to pay $1250 for the next 2 months. The charges on the card were made out of true necessity after my husband died. It is my only debt. Moving forward, I will be able to save/invest half of my monthly income.
Great episode! Can't wait to do a debt free scream!
Your patient might not care where you went to med school but your employer will. It matters when it comes to vying for positions, networking, making connections etc.
Yes, and another case of where the RS personalities know little about higher ed credentials and preparation, especially for any careers that are medical-related such as physician, dentist, vet, pharmacist, etc.
Another case is where there's a high demand for healthcare professionals, HR only cares that you meet the minimum entry requirements to practice. And that you can maintain your patient caseload by building "professional relationships ". Healthcare is really just a business. People on the outside don't realize this but it's the one of most profitable business.
My family owns a health system. We don’t care. Showing up to work is the most important thing we look for from our physicians, nurses, technicians, and Medical Assistants in 2024.
@@user-gu3ou9ds7pthe call had nothing to do with minimum credit entry at all. He never said not to do the minimum. Not sure how you heard that.
A medic I used to work with on the ambulance went to medical school in Italy and paid a mere fraction of what she would’ve in US.
I'm not trying to be funny, do EMS paramedics go to a medical school of some sort? In the US that's a really low paying job in most places, so is their schooling for that typically expensive?
That's true, but they still have to pass medical boards to practice in the US and most of those who train overseas become DOs, not MDs. Both pass the boards and both are doctors, but it's easier to become a DO than an MD and most DOs do not have a specialty, but are either general practitioners, family doctors, or hospitalists (all of which are needed!)
@@DarthFurie You misread his statement. The guy WAS a medic, but then went to medical school in Italy to become a full-fledged doctor.
Family practice IS a specialty @@Trustbutverify2651
@@DarthFurieshe was a paramedic. Left the US to go to Italy for med school. I wasn’t calling paramedic schooling med school haha but I see the confusion!
I just Googled. It is:
As part of the HPSP, the Military will pay your tuition, provide a living stipend and reimburse you for required books, equipment and supplies. Once you are accepted for the HPSP, your Service branch will contact your medical school and start paying your tuition.
This is what my hubs and I did. We have never regretted it.
That wasn’t a good advice at all. I believe med school is way cheaper when you’re in- state.
I googled "least expensive medical schools" and Michigan State was actually one of them. I hope Emily doesn't let them crush her dream.
There is no "in state" that is cheaper for medical school.
Yes and no. According Shemmassian Consulting's website list of US med school tuition, there are several that have lower out of state tuitions - quality ones included (ex. Baylor College of Medicine and Texas A&M). And lower cost to live than Michigan. In med school, your location is psychological. No time to see Mom and Dad til graduation lol
The RS folks are almost all very weak on any kind of post-college educational advice, PARTICULARLY about any kind of medical, pharma, dentist, vet, etc. school. Because of their philosophy of no debt ever, it's impossible for them to stray from their party line which is unfortunate because they cannot offer really good solutions to minimize the debt which students in these fields will almost certainly have to take on due to the nature of this kind of preparation - the cohort system, clinicals, practicals, irregular schedules for all kinds of reasons, and an ungodly amount of study required. The trick is to PAY OFF THE DEBT while keeping living expenses at a minimum when med school is over, rather than treating yourself to lifestyle creep with an expensive car, large home, country club, etc. When your debt is paid, then you can up your lifestyle.
Push any covid vaccines lately? How bout them kickbacks?
Uk 🇬🇧 person here-
What is “RS”?
@@he7281 Ramsey Solutions - it's Dave Ramsey's company.
I'm guessing Ramsey Show?
I love dave but Med school acceptance is not his expertise. For the most part you don’t have a choice of which Med school you get accepted; cheap or expensive. It is very difficult to get accepted to Med school period! There are other options to get help in paying off your Med school loans that they show you in Med school by their financial advisors.
Don't pay any attention to the advice the RS people give about any kind of medical degree - they don't know anything about it and should stay in their lane of general financial advice (and real estate for Dave.)
I was amused. They think medical school expenses go down with their ranking. They are even more clueless about how little scholarship is available at the grad school level, it is mostly loan.
Dave litterally said it's extremely hard to get excepted. He has been working with doctors for 40 years so he sure knows a lot more about doctors and how they can get out of crippling student loan debt then you do. Don't forget you don't know her scores but she did say she did well. Also she may be able to go to a lower cost med school even if it shaves off 50k that's still a win.
@@ps9287that's not what he said at all. I think you need to re-listen
@@dreams2383 Well, he didn't sound too informed here. My roommate in undergrad applied to 18 med schools and got accepted to 1. No one is "drastically cutting" these numbers by attending another med school. She's not going to Harvard or another private school nor does she have the scores to go there. $260K is average for public med school program.
Ken Colman is my dude
Wow theres a shit ton of ads in these. RUclips ads and then Ramsey's ads.
Watch the RUclips version and fast forward through the ads and calls that don't interest you. It's a three-hour radio show, two-hour RUclips podcast, and I never spend more than 20-30 minutes a day listening to it (while I'm doing other record keeping on the computer.)
@@Trustbutverify2651 I do only watch the RUclips version. When I play this on my phone while doing dishes, I have to skip through so much BS.
@arch417powersports It’s how they make money. If they dont make money, there’s no show. RUclips doesnt make money, no RUclips.
I worked at a hospital that gave loan forgiveness and it helped so much
You mean, someone else paid your way
@@Nigriff I worked at an understand area for 5 years. And that was an incentive. Many doctors will not work in those areas ok
BE KIND TO HER, DAVE!! SHE IS GOING THROUGH A LOT.
Oh Lordy. Sometimes the ignorance of the hosts about the medical community is frustrating. And here we are to start off the call.
“Go somewhere cheaper. Get a scholarship”. That’s NOT how it works guys!
Also you can’t just “choose where to go to medical school”. I applied to 50, got interviews at 5 and accepted into 2, with a 4.0 gpa and 98th percentile mcat score. That’s how competitive it is
Also she’s probably getting in state tuition in Michigan: so what they’re suggesting is private, DO, or out of state, ALL of which are going to be waaaaay more expensive
They are so clueless about med schools, but that doesn't stop them from running their mouth.
Absolutely. Their advice and lecture is terrible!
They don’t want to admit the system is fucked up bc that would mean they don’t have the answers.
About the Michigan state it’s one of the most recognized and good school and honestly though tution seems bad but others are way worst and way more it’s not a name brand school it’s a state university
“Right after I get desperate I get stupid” 😂😂😂
Love Ken on the program. Always gives good career advice. And he's funny!
I completely agree with Ken about the air conditioner not working in the vehicle. This family will be okay not having air in their car and it will make them appreciate it more, when they do finally get a car with air.
Work for the Indian Health Service after you are done with your education and you will have your school paid off in a few years.
Hey Dave let the co- host talk. I've been noticing they have hardly say anything on the calls.
This was an amazing video. I love these two so much and am looking forward to the day to see you actually ride them.
I have CC and paid the whole amount of bill all the time. I thinks it’s up to you how you use it BTW im debt free, its groceries i only use CC for. Everything else cash.
I love Ken trying to get the kids to SCREAM the debt free scream. It didn't quite work but they are a beautiful family anyway. Much love from KY.
Med school, person commented. Not much cheaper med school available IMHO and getting in. Also what type of residencies available to student after Med school like Michigan State.
During residencies, can make $$ outside of residency work as a MD.
Some students now are racking up debt with becoming a PA or NP (Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner).
Also some getting through law school with a lot of debt -- and Dave Ramsey talked about a night school law program. Many more lawyers graduating w/o being able to find a job to pay off their huge debt burdens! I know some years ago on DR show talking about these new law school grads having to take employment with work conditions they didn't like but had to do it to pay off the debt.
I would love to see the debt free scream f or the dentist that had a million in debt.
I'm willing to bet the RS team paid him good money to be one of the stars in that video so they could make their point about student loan debt.
Nothing wrong with that!
@@sallyhoughton2022 And I didn't say there was anything wrong with that.
The dentist tells his story in the Ramsey Documentary. I think it's free on Roku or RUclips.
It’s crazy how much Ken’s personality changes when he co hosts with Dave. He goes from very outspoken with every other personality to basically forgetting how to talk when he’s with Dave.
He’s with boss…hellllo
Couldn’t find the one w the guy who was named beneficiary and his nieces and nephews wanting the money.
Can someone point out where in the video it is.
Came from a short😅
Thanks!
Does the monthly contribution to the pension not count toward the 15% for retirement?
Dave says because you don't have control over where/how it's invested, along with the potential of the pension not being there when you retire, you should only count it at 50%. For example, if 10% of your income goes to the pension, only count 5% of it towards the 15% he recommends.
I was thinking the same thing, because I have a pension plan, too.
@@bettedavis9261Oh, ok; thank you for the explanation.
Check the rating of the state where you have the pension. My state's rating is very high and investments are very conservative. Other states - disaster. Look at how many BILLIONS of dollars Chicago's public service pensions are in arrears...
I find myself leaving the same comments after every time they discuss med school. The whole Ramsay team needs to get educated on this subject before they continue to give advice. Almost everything they say about the process is wrong. Yes, the debt sucks. My son went to med school for free (including a stipend for living expenses) by agreeing to serve in the Navy for 4 years. That's not for everybody, I know, but it's a great option for those interested.
I also find myself leaving the same comments every time they wade into paying for any kind of medical school. I don't think it would help them to get "educated," because this team is unwilling to offer ANY alternative that involves debt first and payment later (such as going into the military). They need to STOP giving advice about most of post-college graduate, medical, law, etc. preparation and limit themselves to saying "talk to those in the field for suggestions about how to pay for it," or "there is a lot of information on-line about options for paying for medical careers." Then MOVE ON to other callers whom they have the expertise to help. Giving incorrect or incomplete advice weakens their brand and their credibility as commenters. There are just some situations in life when you cannot avoid debt - not everyone can think up a system and sell millions of books to start a business. The key is to use the best options in advance and pay off as quickly as possible while avoiding lifestyle creep including an expensive car and a larger house!
@@Trustbutverify2651 I agree 100%. They should really just talk about the several options to go debt free and then move on. I've heard them tell people in their 2nd year of medical school to take a few years off in order to cash flow the rest of it. That just flat-out doesn't work. I think Deloney is the only one that understands the cohort system. It's almost impossible to get a med school acceptance to even one school. Anyone who gets in should take advantage of the opportunity. Look for ways to get it paid for, or at the very least, minimize debt while in school. When they get out (and after residency), it just takes discipline to live below your means for a few years to get it paid off.
I love dave and he has helped a lot of people in general with their finances, but you are correct I feel the same way they have no business giving advise to med school, Vet school, etc students. They have no knowledge on this matter. I wish they would learn that it’s not easy to get in and most do not have a choice of which school to get in to cheap or expensive period! They make it sound like it’s some vocational school these poor students are applying to. When it comes to med school pls leave to the experts Sir Dave! 😬
I don't think they want to at this point. It's really annoying. Particularly when they all have degrees and paid student debt. They try to discourage people from getting an advanced degree. It's inexplicable. We need doctors!
@@ThePolypam Something I say all the time - they all (except Rachel) incurred debt for their own degrees, but insist that everyone else do their education by working and stacking up cash first. It's "do as I say," not "do as I did." I appreciate the warning, but some kinds of preparation involve such intense study that there is literally no time for working - AND not everyone starts with parents who have put up enough money with a 529 plan!
Like Rachel has to worry about life insurance..
Hey I went to that law school, took 4 years. I paid as I went.
It's much easier to get scholarships for a high LSAT score than it is to get scholarships for a high MCAT score.
@@Trustbutverify2651 I didn't get any scholarships to start law school. I worked a government job full time and paid my way through.
Mam how much do you earn as a lawyer now? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
I would imagine that the depreciation on Hondas and Toyotas are not nearly as bad as Fords and Volkswagens
You only have the choice of where you apply not who accepts you. Medical school is expensive and the dream is deferred for 8 years no matter what. Our daughter is paying 65k per year for tuition and then there are living expenses so it comes close to 90k per year. Ramsey is giving advice that you would and should give to a high school senior
I just wonder why they DON'T LISTEN with so many comments about how bad their advice is for anyone considering a medical field (physician, dentist, vet, pharmacist, etc.) When they show themselves to be tone deaf to people who know more than they do, they weaken their credibility.
@@Trustbutverify2651 they are Hillbillies 😬
Imagine sending your daughter off to take on $350,000 in debt that she will then be enslaved by big pharma to pay back. Disgusting.
“The path of least resistance.”😹🤣⚰️
Med school is expensive, there is no real cheaper way to do it for the most part
That dude in the home equity deal really railroaded himself. Can he devalue the house somehow? Do you wait and hope the housing market comes down?
The lady that has been accepted at MSU needs to apply to Western Michigan University’s med school. When they opened it they were giving people medical school completely for free. She would still be in the state of Michigan.
She’s in Michigan so answer her with that in mind instead of expecting her to relocate and be by herself. Do you know how much it cost to relocate?
Doctors make a lot of money so it’s worth $230k to get a degree in 4 years. You can make $100k or more after getting your degree. If I was that good on tests I would have gotten a masters. Statistically the more education the more income as long as there are jobs in the field.
Some of the dumbest people I know have Master's degrees, and some of the smartest people I know have high school education or less. I'm sure you're smart, after all you're watching this show while a lot of other people are living on debt
Nobio@@DarthFurie
Residency does always pays as well as people think. I’m from Michigan. Depending on her chosen path (general medicine, or a specialty,) she will be able to pay off her loans post residency.
Isn't it difficult to get into into med school?
I paid off my house. And, then bought a new house 😅

1:13:45 so "they" get pi**ed off when Dave challenges their falsehoods, exactly how Dave gets pi**ed off when "they" challenge him.😂😂
"Rich people are afraid of leaves." Yes, Dave, there's a lot of money in yardwork. However, some of us have our lawns taken care of and leaves bagged not because we are afraid of leaves, but because we are unable to do yardwork anymore (even if we're not "rich", just comfortable.)
I agree! I just called an arborist company yesterday to remove an old, unsightly tree from our yard, and to have stump ground. We could have done it ourselves, minus the stump removal/grinding, but my husband is on call 24/7, as well as not having the energy or desire to deal with it. He was happy I made the call. We have a sinking fund for lawn care, so that will cover the cost. I'm also paying a lawn service to plant 4 trees I bought for our backyard landscaping. I don't know that I could have planted them 20 years ago, let alone today. Those funds are also in our lawn care fund.
He's probably not done it in decades himself.
🤣🤣🤣@@ThePolypam
Why will she probably not get the loan forgiveness? I got it last year.
EMILY, CONGRATS ON GETTING IN TO MEDICAL SCHOOL!! Since you’d have to wait another year to apply and find out where else you could get in, maybe consider starting where you were accepted and still apply to other programs, if that’s something that’s allowed…Good luck!! 😊
The first caller…why are you wasting your time on the show. Med school loans are what they are and you will pay them off because, the state will take your license if you don’t. Oh and you’ll be fine
All states?
If you get federal loans, yes. You have to stat current on them. I’m working to pay mine off now.
Can’t Emily go to med school in the military? Wouldn’t that be the best solution?
First caller these two were harsh on her. Emily please ignore their advice. You do you. Talk to your school financial advisor. There must be more grants or scholarships. All the best. Limit your expenses and try to see how can you make more money while in school. It could be working from home on weekends.
They were not harsh; they are completely clueless about professional schools. They think medical school cost goes down with ranking, and one can go around and shop and bargain with med schools.
@@ps9287 It was so hilariously uninformed I half expected them to start telling her to negotiate the tuition with the school or threaten to walk, lol. Her numbers are average for public med schools.
Why aren't they suing for attorney's fees?
Please Emily, from one medical student to another, ignore their “advice”. Unless you go into pediatrics, you will make at minimum 250k a year once training is over. Even if your debt skyrockets to 300k with interest, you’ll easily pay that off after a few years. And then when you’re done…. You’ll be making 250-450k (at least). Seriously, the DR team refuses to learn about medical school, the impact (or lack there of, as it’s more of a bar to hop over than the LSAT) of the MCAT, and how in-state public schooling is as cheap as it gets.
You know this as well as I do, if you refuse MSU’s acceptance and reapply in hopes of getting in somewhere else for cheaper (lol), your application will be seen as a giant red flag.
Congrats on your acceptance future MD. Stay the course, do well, and after training be zealous about paying off the debt.
Listen to her Emily! This is true!
They're not wrong. Her question was "How do I minimize the debt?" The only answer to that is go somewhere cheaper. Which is what they said. That's obviously not what anyone wants to hear when you've been accepted to a prestigious program, but math is math.
What if she doesn’t finish? What should she do then? there already was a call with a former med student that was 0,5 mil in debt.
@@scottsquatch89 it’s not easy to get into med school many have no choice where they get in and the school she got in is a state school already it’s not Harvard. But the DR personalities nor dave don’t know that so it’s not a good advice it’s an ignorant advise. Emily called the wrong place for their opinion. I’ve heard the same advise from another DR personality Jade, but for Veterinary school and it’s even harder to get into Vet school! It may be a sound financial advise to go a cheaper school, but Not a Realistic informed advise. Furthermore, what med school you get in could be a big factor when you apply to residency, your patients may not care but your employers may!
@@scottsquatch89 Sorry - you are WRONG and obviously have never applied to medical school. The likelihood of her getting accepted at another medical school after turning down MSU is virtually zero. Don't spout off on what you don't know, whether or not "math is math." She should have investigated the less expensive schools BEFORE applying and getting accepted to MSU. All prestigious universities and all med schools (prestigious or not), have access to what schools a person has applied to, been accepted at, and turned down. To apply, gain acceptance, and turn down an offer will almost certainly mean another med school will not accept you.
What is his answer?
Omg the pen set! That took me back
Lauren is not tied to her non profit for plsf. Flexibility I can understand but she's not stuck to that job as a PSLF can be through gov. Employees..state and local employees.
Ken Coleman has no idea on the medical school question.
The first call is a little off - the school you attend can definitely affect your career if you're looking to specialize or get recognized in fellowships
Re home equity sharing agreement caller. I would be hiring a lawyer to examine that Contract as to the legality of the Conditions. It must be illegal for loan sharks to charge astronomical 'interest' rate.
I don’t agree with this. I work for a hospital. Going to a well known school is important and you should most definitely be near family. Medicine is not for the weak
Absolutely agree.👍
Sir how much do you earn a year as a doctor? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
@@gourabsarker9552 it’s top dog!
It is no coincidence that the largest adversaries of the Ramsey program seem to be very discontent with their lives.
I understand NY is expensive, but is 90k "nothing" or a "crap salary?" Is this what you make part-time at McDs?
$90k a year in NY is good if you're a kid living in moms basement.
90k in NY is about 40k in normal states. It is crap & they are low class there with that
I always check which school my doctor went to.. and I am sure lot of other people do
So do i

I don't unless I get a weird feeling from them or something happens that makes me question their competence. For the record, my gut on that has never failed and I've discovered odd information before after looking a few of them up
You can go work a few years in a low income area and have a lot of student loan debt wiped out. She could have joined the military.
Are you guys still on talk650kste, northern California?
CHM is a joke. I would like to know exactly what eligible medical events are and what % actually get paid.
On a more recent episode, a caller told Dave that the Christian health plan he and his wife have (he didn't name it, maybe the phone screener told him not to) would not cover her pregnancy.
There are some very cheap medical and law schools, kids just want to go to schools they can’t afford as a status badge. University of New Mexico 18k a year. Could pay off tuition every year and graduate with no debt .
Lol. That's the price for in state tuition. It's nearly 3x more for out-of-state and the acceptance rate is more narrow and that doesn't include housing. My undergrad roommate applied to 18 schools and got accepted to 1 and his MCATs were better than hers. You belong on the panel with the other clueless ones.
Dave is wrong. Houses do NOT always go up in value. Not only are there housing busts where home prices can drop drastically, but even over the long-term, houses are basically boxes that constantly depreciate. They require constant upkeep, repairs, and insurance... and then there are taxes to be paid constantly. A more accurate statement is that land appreciates... not every year, but over time because it is a finite thing that is not being ctreated or built. People who benefit from home sales and stock sales will always tell you that it's always a good time to buy. Beware.
When Emily gets Michigan med school classes and clinicals scheduled, she'll figure out there's no time to see family til at least 2034 😂 Come to Texas where we're teeming with excellent med schools
If sur goes out of state she'll pay more. She'll have to go out of country to get Trained for cheaper.
Virgin Islands has a good medical school
7k max on Roth in 2024 not 6k.
@12:20 his house appreciated $250k in 8mo? Wtf
Most cars prob do lose 60% of their value in 5 years, except Tundras/Tacomas etc (Toyota/Lexus is top dog) see for yourself. 👍 but otherwise agree.
You know how the equity sharing lenders sleep at night doing what they do? On giant piles of money.
Medical school debate about cost: It's easy to check online for the "least expensive medical schools in the U.S." In-state or out-of-state does not apply to medical school. There are private medical schools and state-supported medical schools - but in all but a very few cases the cost is the same for all students, no matter their state of origin. However, there may be certain scholarships reserved to in-state students. Most of the least expensive medical schools are in Texas, some in Oklahoma and Florida. HOWEVER, one element that they did not discuss is if the person raising the question could go to medical school while living at home. Another medical school elsewhere might be less expensive, but then paying for an apartment and living expenses could add quite a bit because it is virtually impossible to work while attending medical school. Ken is not correct about the impact of MCAT scores on getting scholarships for medical school. While LSAT scores have a huge impact on getting scholarships (or even a full ride) to law school, that is not the case for medical school. The financial challenge for those going into medical school is that they MUST finish and pass the boards - otherwise they will have a huge debt and likely a much lower income to try and pay back the debt. I wish the RS people would mention that serving in the military is a great way to get medical school debt paid for.
They used to recommend the military for medical and dental schooling. For some reason, they've stopped. Dave also used to mention the MD/PhD programs some universities offer. Are those still available?
@@bettedavis9261 Yes, they are still available. However, they are generally used by people who want a degree in psychiatry or want to go into public health (including administrative government positions) or to do clinical research. In a lot of those cases, individuals who want the double MD/PhD degree do not take the med boards as they do not intend to practice medicine (just like a person is a "lawyer" if he or she has passed law school, but an "attorney" if he or she has passed the board examinations and wants to practice law.) Some people in medical or law school want the information for careers in business or research, but do not intend to practice. There are lots of other combo degrees as well such as JD/MBA (law and business), MD/MBA (physician and business), etc. If a person has a very clear career goal, this can be a time-saver over getting two separate degrees.
@@Trustbutverify2651 thanks for the in-depth info!
"In-state or out-of-state does not apply to medical school."
That is false. Most public med schools are significantly higher for out-of-state and have a lower acceptance rate for out-of-state applicants. My undergrad roommate applied to 18 schools and got accepted into 1 and his MCATs were higher than hers.
She will be getting a job as doctor with a specialty, not getting an English degree and hoping to land a Starbucks barista job (unless she gets kicked out of residency program).
I am a doctor at the veteran affairs medical center with $230k in debt. I am in the education debt reduction program which pays up to $50k for 4 years of my debt. That plus student loan forgiveness and I'm debt free in 2 more years.

The military will give you a free scholarship in medicine. It is called the Uniformed Services…. Sorry, I don’t have the full and correct name for this.
Essentially, the military trains you in medicine. When you complete the training, you work for the military for a set period of time.
Honestly i don't care if he told u directly that he was leaving it for u give those kids thier money

1:01:40 we were in BS 7, and I drove a car without AC for over five years in a part of tge country where it's consistently in the 90s and above during the summer. Nobody died. We could afford to get it fixed...I was just too frugal (cheap😉).
If I can't skip the damn ads by going back and forth canceling the add trying to reload the video 20 damn times then the video is not worth watching Ramsey Solutions get away from Google ads or I'm done watching your content I'm on mobile and no I'm not installing any extra BS
Ok I make 40k year 60k in debt Dave’s math would be ok be debt free in two years. Ok that leave’s me 10k to live off of a yr for 2 years. Let’s say I owe a credit card $5k minimum payment $100 months for example Dave’s math would be paid off in 4 years the credit card math with 18% interest you pay it off in 20 years. I’m just saying he compares income to debt. He doesn’t factor in interest on everything and other life expenses like food, insurance, gas, utilities. After I take care of my necessities not much going towards debt
Their advice is to get another job or a side hustle

You have an income problem. Do gig work. Sell things. Follow the baby steps.
@ 26:00 the lady and her cop husband do not know if his department has a 403b or any other plan??? WHAT? This dude is able to destroy lives on charging affidavits, but doesn’t know what’s available for retirement? That’s crazy and stupid. Their reputation is indeed earned.
Pathetic advice to the young lady that got into med school at MSU. The return on that school loan will be over 1,000%. Coleman is and is just a broadcaster who detests people with college degrees. He is not a financial wizard and Ramsey would be wise to dump him. The young lady is obviously a high achiever and they are doing nothing but trying to bring her down. They should be ad thanking her for her accomplishments suggesting ways to get more scholarships, grants and other forms of support. MSU is a state instituting and she is a Michigan resident - no Stanford or Vanderbilt.
Ken trying too hard to impress his daddy Dave with all this tough love AC boomer talk, get out of here. Even Dave saw through that lol
This duo is soooo clueless about medical school. $250k is a bargain for med school; most private med schools cost around $100k/year, and there is very little scholarship available at the grad school level. With about 30k medical school graduating each year, do they think some charity is paying off their tuition
Sorry but the graduate degrees in law do matter where you attend. Especially if you want to make good money.
Are you in law? My entire family is in the law field, Yale grads are making 150k for insurance companies while IU law grads have their own practices. It matters WHAT YOU DO, not where you go.
@@BT-mc2yd i have family in law, not my self though. and it does matter if you want to work for good practices. not everyone wants to run their own practice.
HIII COURTNEY!!! she’s the best, I do her facials every month! ❤️
You can’t dog Michigan State med school and then say Go Blue later! Biased.
Yes you can just make extra payments to 401K loans
No those coaches left because NIL leveled the playing field with other schools as far as recruitment goes. Harder to win when the cards aren’t stacked in your favor
Yeah I love Ramsey, but do not take Medical School advice from them. There is PSLF, and many things to help medical school students. Being close to family is more important than trying to save money. Medical school is so stressful you need community to last, family is one of the best community.
I wouldn’t take any advice from ramsey tbh. He still thinks it’s 1989
Main advice is to not take on debt plain and simple.
Short term sacrifice to be away from your family is better than a lifetime of stress of having crazy amount of debt
Exactly go ahead and start that medical program. I took my student loans for med school. Pay it off when you get out of residency took me about 16 months after residency
Agree it definitely matters where you go to medical school because it’s gotten so competitive to get in residency. State school is usually cheaper already. I paid 300k loans off in 2 years. If it’s your calling go for it
They’re just being rude to this lady.
