This guy doesn’t understand wealth. He might have had a few good years of income. That’s it. Also, he clearly leads with his income as being his personality. And he openly says he gets “physical” benefits from it. Wow. If you seek the right things you will find it.
I’m a woman who is low income. I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with him because he comes across as full of himself. I don’t want his money. I don’t have a lot, but God is providing for my needs.
I get the feeling this guy called mainly so the hosts would tell him how wonderful and successful he is, not because he wanted his "question" answered.
Your money is part of what you bring to the table. It will ALWAYS be a factor in how attracted a woman is. It's in her best interest to find a great provider.
well nowadays this question goes to the women too, with how bad the inflation is often both adults have to work to provide for the family. Both my husband and I work full time, and we can't provide for the family with any of our income alone
This dude thinks he’s a multi-millionaire. 😂 $130k per year isn’t THAT much money, and a potential partner wondering if you could provide for them in the future is not problematic. She’s looking out for herself, as she should.
She should look out for herself for sure, but if she won't give back to her man a female equivalent of what she's looking for, then she's selfish. Relationships r a give n take..
@@carterdoering3789 based on some googling ("income for men percentile"), it appears to be 25% of men earning over 100K. 32% of men earn over 100K, if you focus on those working full-time.
everyone should provide for themselves, she is not a baby. in that case no man should not be dating a woman that is not making as much as he is. We equal now, this is not the 1960's, she need to be able to provide for me just like I provide for her. To say a man should provide is sexist, just like if men say a woman should be in the kitchen cooking and washing his clothes is considered to be.
Maybe the question for him should have been why he thinks a woman will notice only his (not even that large) wallet. If women only talk to you because you show off money, the problem is not the money but that you lack any other quality that can attract a nice woman, like being honest, funny, a good friend, respectful, honest, etc.
100% agree, this boy most likely has no true personality except showing off his wealth to everyone around him. I know a lot of ppl don't like Ken from Ramsey personalities, but he is right in this case, this boy is hanging out in the wrong pool, he probably gets his self-validation from flaunting around his so-called wealth all the time, most likely choosing to hang out with ppl who are financially not so well off so he can feel more successful. And he wonder why he only attracts gold diggers?
It's one thing for a woman to only care about the money. It's quite another thing to expect a woman to not care about your work ethic, earning potential and how you handle money. I would fully EXPECT a woman to care about those things and would not consider one who didn't care. My wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. That's what we both wanted. Therefore, my ability to make $$ (eventually) was important. She was not able to stay at home until almost 6 years into the marriage and a year after our first child was born, but she hasn't looked back since.
Well said. A woman is not evil for wanting a man who can provide for a family, nor is a man evil for wanting a woman who is loving, beautiful, kind, etc.
It’s not lost on me that men can want a woman who cooks (1 thing), cleans (2 things), births multiple kids (at least three things), maintains weight post pregnancy (4 things), drives the kids to all their school, sport and doctor appointments (at least 5 things), does the shopping for in-house hold items whether it be food, snacks, sanitary items, back to school shopping (6 things), is ready to have s3x whenever he wants it despite women generally having lower libidos on average (7 things), but whenever women want a man who provides (1 thing) with people act like they are demon spawns. Too many dudes feel entitled to take from women without giving anything in return. Even in the first reply they named 1 thing for men (providing) and three things for women (loving, beautiful, kind). Ngl it generally makes it hard for me to feel sorry for men sometimes, especially when they go around proclaiming that women are only good for one thing and they expire.
Guy calls in and brags about his income & wealth, which isn't really that much. Asks about how to find a woman that is not about his arrogant self. To any women... Run
Damn they shit all over dude. Compared to other 25 year olds, he’s super up. And these women nowadays have no shame in straight up asking, and will ask early. Just gotta have more discernment and be steadfast with saying no.
It’s a valid concern but not as of now. He has the trajectory of being very successful but as of now. He’s doin well for his age but he’s only making $130k and unless he plans of getting married or being in a serious relationship. He doesn’t have to worry about anyone using him for his money
It is but he has to ask questions but he is a little too cocky. He can find woman that don’t need his money, but if he leads with it every time he will attract the wrong ones.
Find someone who will stick with you through high times and low times. My wife and i have been through alot financially, both high and low, and we enjoy a great time now
@@paulaqueirosz I was referring to how Ken kept saying extreme poverty, like it was enlightening, it was not. It showed his lack of understanding of what the caller was asking. Yeah the caller was dalulu
@@napoleonbonaparte7204 if upper ones are already self-providers, then there's nothing wrong with wanting that. They already have the ability to get the income that can provide the life style they want. You can't expect all the ppl with high income to be willing to live much below their means. Not everyone is Warren Buffet.
I don't understand this guy. He isn't rich. He's doing o.k. What's he thinking? He makes 130 000 $ before taxes with his business. He's no where near millionaire status. He needs to invest his money. If he finds a decent woman, who's raising his children, he should be glad. If she's telling him, she wants a family, what's wrong with that? Children are expensive, they need a loving home. If she wants a gift, that's all right as well. Is he stingy?
U don't understand, the guy is having issues because, the women in his life they r so busy demanding what they want from him n yet they won't give back anything in return,in a way that makes sense to him .seems to me like an unfair situation.why should u be the one to benefit from me,n I get nothing from u. .. I don't like the guys answering the questions,I don't think they have enough wisdom to handle those kind of matters,they could not see the problem at hand,just like u guys, n so they couldn't give an appropriate solution,they rather shamed him..
The advice I gave my daughter when she said she was going to get married I told her to ask him 3 questions. What do you owe, What do you make, What are you worth. My daughter was 22, owned a house, had a 60K job in 2003, and only debt was a 130K mortgage.
People need money to live, to eat and to play. A potential dating partner is going to be evaluating you and what you bring to the table because that's how the world works. If she can't take care of herself, run. Simple. Caretaking is for when you're married and have health issues. And don't waste your time and get physical with them early on because that just clouds your judgment if you're a normal (not narcissistic) person.
Some of these comments primarily from men are just laughable and as a college educated white-collar professional in accounting and finance, they don't represent my lived experience. My career has spanned over 20 years since graduating from college in 2002. And in that time, I have worked with amazing, intelligent, college educated women who earn anywhere between $70,000 - $200,000+, which is more than many of you. If you are a high achiever, seek other high achievers. It is really that simple. And high achievers don't want yours, they take pride in their own accomplishments and their own money. The idea that there aren't woman out there who are high achievers and earn good coin is just ludicrous and wrong!
Agreed completely. I am a high achiever in life, but probably a mid- income achiever at 32 (80K) and my wife is a lower income achiever bt high achiever when it comes to life. It works out as we both work hard on our marriage, health, and all the other things that come with life.
@@Shortballa11 I replied to you elsewhere but unlike many men on here, I am not and cannot be misogynistic or sexist on these topics and I'll tell you why. Because of the above comment. The benefit of having a career where I have worked with so many women is, I have encountered many women who are as smart or smarter than I am, who earn as much or more than I do, who have a sense of pride in their own accomplishments, etc. But then I come to sites like this, and it is one negative generalization after another! And even saying what I did would garner insults for claiming that any woman may be smarter than a me a man because you know, it is impossible for a woman to be smarter than a man.
Nobody is saying there aren't successful women out there. The reality is though, most people aren't like that, most people grow up with struggles and not the sheltered/academic environment you did. There are TONS of people out there who don't have their shit together and will do just about anything for financial gain including dating someone for financial support.
@@cashway0420 Your comment is so funny because you have no idea who you are talking to. I have other comments on here and that will give you an idea. #1 - I am a guy. #2 - I don't have a beef or grudge against women as so many on here do. #3 - My upbringing was hard, and I barely graduated high school. But after serving in the military and utilizing the GI Bill I earned a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from a major state university and life has been good. #4 - My experiences with high achieving women in college and the workplace are real and if you look for them, they are out there, and you can find them!
I'm forever Glad!!! Hit 3500k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k last year 2023, God bless America ❤️🇺🇲
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her Brisbane Australia🇭🇲
I don't love the derision of calling a grown man who's clearly way ahead of the game financially "kid," but other than that I can't find all that much fault with your advice. He's doing extremely well by any measure, but not so well that he's gotta worry about gold diggers.
If the person he's with is not thinking of how she's going to reciprocate the value given to her by her man, then the person that needs to mature is the female not the man. She can demand whatever she wants, but is she's unwilling to match that energy nobody will take her seriously..
130k a year? Before or after taxes? Sir needs to simmer down because that’s barely middle class these days. As a man he shouldn’t be surprised that he is dating a women that is asking questions like, “how would you provide for children? What will our life look like?” That’s not a gold digger at all! That’s a woman filtering out the men from the boys.
#1 - Augusta, Maine. $130,000 per year is absolutely a wealthy income in that area. #2 - if you can't manage a middle class lifestyle in virtually any area in the US outside of a few urban centers with that salary, that's a you problem. $130k is easily upper middle class, *particularly* at 25 years old. Agree with the rest of the post, though. It's absolutely fair game for women to want to know they'll have a stable income when they're knocked out of the working world by way of children.
@@bvoyelr in the part of California I live in, 130k is almost what you pay just to live. In my area rent for something average is $4,100 a month, plus the cost of everything else and when you at kids into the mix it really adds up. So where I live $130k is nothing to brag about. Well, at least it’s not big money in my area.
@@commonenglishmistakes4360 why does every women need to work for a man to value them? Women naturally have different roles in life and there’s nothing wrong about that. If a woman is looking to have a more traditional lifestyle that is definitely her choice and if she wants that she has every right to ask the questions that pertain to her wants. Dave Ramsey himself has said that his wife Sharon has not worked and she’s been a stay at home wife. Are you saying that she’s less of a wife because she does not work?
VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN! All the good ones get snatched up in their 20’s. Many times those good ones get cheated on and hurt in their 30’s, and now they have kids. In their 40’s they are “finding themselves.” In their 50’s they decided they don’t need anyone. In their 60’s they are lonely and realizing death is a decade or 2 away, and don’t want to die alone. My point is in your 20’s you need to focus on finding the right one, not finding one for right now. Your partner is WAY more important than getting college degree, the perfect job, etc. the right partner will make your life picture perfect, the wrong one can give you herpes from cheating on you, bankrupt you in divorce and keep you from seeing your children. Choose wisely. Your partner is THE most important decision you will make in your life
While I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. Focusing on your future is very important. People change, especially young people. I agree it’s important to find your “soulmate” it is equally as important to keep improving yourself. If you don’t love yourself how can expect someone else to.
I really wish someone told me this ages ago. I'm 26 and still single; I've been focused professionally my whole life and now I'm lonely AF. Never been good at seeing the right signals and too anxious to put myself out there. Knowing my right pool is closing in slowly but surely isn't helping either. Knowing it's not too late is the only thing keeping me sane and knowing I'll soon finally be in a "steady-state" with everything I need and a + NW following DR and others' principles. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel to get myself out there and succeed far more than just professional/overall wealth.
I thinking asking "What are your professional goals?" is perfect to discern what type of person they are. If they have goals and talk passionately, they are probably career-driven. If they mention work-life balance or being able to earn enough to support a family, they are probably family-driven, but not afraid of work. If their avoid the question or mention other life goals apart from their career, they have no interest in working and would rather stay at home while you provide monetary support for the family. None of these are wrong. But just straight-up ask and most people are going to be honest.
25 year old with a business making 130k. To a 25 year old and younger he is the prime rib. At the route he is taking gold is in sight much more than his peers and the women see that. Its a valid concern for a young man with that much money.
@@MrFrankielee1992 i’m a 25yr and this is NOT prime rib lol. most of my friends make near this amount of money and unless he’s bragging about it no one would know he makes that much. his sense of self is definitely inflated you can hear it in how he talks. now if this was after 10 years of making this much and he had a solid net worth maybe. he has probably only made this in the last year and wants to have these problems.
I was hoping Jade would be the perfect Ramsey personality for this question(she normally is)! Ken is out to lunch not understanding he wants advice on finding someone wanting him for him and not his money!
He needed to call a dating podcast. He seemed to not know how to discern a gold digger from a traditional wife/mother. How could they even help him with that?!
It's real simple, FIND AN EQUAL AND THEY ARE OUT THERE! If the gold diggers just pop up as the caller says, that tells me you are looking in the wrong areas. I am a man; I make low 6 figures. My direct manager is a female, and she makes more than I do. The head of the department is also a female is in her 40s, married with kids and she makes more than both of us do. I have this sinking suspicion that this guy is finding women who are waitressing for example. Not that I am knocking the service industry, but I THINK THE CALLER IS THE PROBLEM!
"an equal". If you think the only thing that makes someone an equal is how much they make....smh The problem isn't him dating somebody simple like a waitress that doesn't make a lot of money. His problem is that he seems to flaunt how well he is doing which will then attract a certain type of person. Also just because you found someone that makes the same or more than you doesn't mean it is better for you. Hell, look at Ben Affleck and JLo. She makes more than him and wants like half of his money in divorce. Again, it comes down to the type of people that you attract. You can have money, attract a nice girl that makes little money and her not be a gold digger.
@@Ka_Gg Correct an equal is not just about money but it is partly about money. It is also about values and one value is being a high achiever. If you are a high achiever in whatever you do, maybe you should seek another high achiever.
This is very interesting. He feels attracted to women that look like gold diggers , obviously but he doesnt want it at the same time. My question: are you interested in real women or in thophies? Obviously he is not saying: I want to fall i'm love with a great woman. So, his real question would be: how do I choose a woman who is not a lovely woman but a woman that looks like a gold diggerr so that she fits with my business visión?
They didn’t even try to find out his net worth. How much equity does he have in house? How much does he have in retirement? How much is his business worth?
He coulda answered instantly if he actually had a large NW. the guys values himself on the business, meaning his NW is either substantially inflated or under true value. Literally almost any financial person would tell you business valuation is highly subjective, ESPECIALLY something like a small business. It’s not a public company it’s a private small construction firm. Meaning I can pull 10M outta my ass and say it’s worth that much. Highly doubt anyone would pay that much for it.
The greatest advice from a divorce lawyer: live your truth. If you like a girl and she likes your money for a sense of security, then so be it. Dont go around looking for a girl who can take care of the kids and provide everything needed by herself. Just make sure she is responsible with her money and not asking you for stuff beyond her means.
Most men deep down don’t want laid back women .The problem is the guys are chasing the women who are not on the same social bus and going through their fun phase.Just go to environments where toxicity is slim.
Lmao you clearly have no idea what a man wants. Every guy I know that finds a good girl that is laid-back brags about her like crazy. Oftentimes it's one of the first things that he will say
@ Lol you reading too deeply into this.Yes some guys do want laid back women .But most don’t if we going to tell the truth your people are a exception to the rule
@@alhajituray1093 most actually do want laid back women. They are the most desired. You don't know how men think. Take the same girl and clone her. Make one of them high maintenance and high strung. Make the other girl low maintenance and laid-back. The laid back one will have far more men than take her serious and want to be with her. I assume you are not a man.
The first example, i dont think asking the man what he can provide is considered gold digging. most of the time, that's just someone who's forward thinking in life. Asking for A LOT of materialistic things and MONEY makes someone a gold digger.
Yeah, there's 3 possibilities: 1) she used just about literally the words he said, and she's merely being direct by asking it that way, or 2) he's reading into it and getting scared and cutting bait b 4 things get too serious, or 3) she's a golddigger. Either way, we don't know enough from the call.
The woman who dated this guy for 3 months and then asked about children etc. is a wise woman not a gold digger. She knows she doesn’t want to waste her or his time dating if they don’t have the same goals. She liked you and wanted to know do you want children,do you want a stay at home mom or working mom, do you have goals or will she be carrying the entire marriage. The best thing he can do is use discernment when dating. What are his goals. Marriage,kids,etc. If he’s dating someone and she’s asking for him to go to 5 star restaurants, buy expensive gifts, dresses in name brand clothing but doesn’t have her own income, stays at the nail salon,shops constantly then she prob won’t line up with his financial priorities.
Exactly. This guy is doing well, but he's not rolling in it. If he's attracting nothing but gold diggers, then he probably actually living beyond his means, because a 130K income shouldn't look so flashy to attract gold diggers. Basically, he's creating his own problems. Honestly just sounds like him bragging.
I would make it very clear that I set boundaries on relationships that include financial issues. Let the woman know from the start that you will not let her abuse you financially. If you do marry, then make sure you have an ironclad prenup that will discourage gold diggers. A spouse should always be a partner, not a parasite. You marry a person, not a bank account.
2 дня назад+1
If she won’t sign a prenup she is telling you she cannot be trusted. Tell her early on that you would be offended if she didn’t sign a prenup.
I think my son is in the same situation. He is 26 & very accomplished but so far the girls he meets always asks about his money. I have been married to my husband over 30 years & neither one of us asks about money until we got engaged & was getting ready to combine our finances. My son like this guy- there are some girls that are just looking for a meal ticket.
I think it’s smart the points that you are making. However, I would ask early due to make sure they are smart with finances. I don’t want to marry a person who is irresponsible with money but I can see your points I want to marry a Christian man who is on the same page. I love working and it’s attractive to have a hard working man. I can’t imagine not working lol. I love God and to have a true purpose in life by doing ministry/other job while providing for my family with.
What planet do you live on? Not asking about finances before getting serious with someone is a BIG mistake. You don’t want to marry someone who is in debt, can’t save, doesn’t make enough to pay their bills, has bad credit etc. If your son is indeed only meeting women who want a “rich” guy, he needs to take a serious look at where he’s meeting these women.
@@hilaryb8807 haha yup, like what Ken said, he's hanging out in the wrong pool if he's meeting gold diggers all the time. And he needs to self-reflect what is he putting out there that's attracting gold diggers only. Maybe all he talks abt are his finance and how successful he is, and not his hobbies or exploring interesting things in life etc.
He’s 25… I don’t know many 25-year-olds who are making over six figures… and building businesses…so great job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The average income in the United States is $60,000… So this young man is killing it and he doesn’t want to end up with a gold digger or someone with different values/ morals, and spending habits so he just has to be selective with his choice of lady who’s not all into superficial material Things like the majority of people are… I hope he keeps searching and finds the right girl he’ll be able to tell by what she’s doing with her life… Where she comes from is irrelevant… It’s her work ethic, her determination, her mindset, and her future goals… If she has a poverty, mindset or gold digger mindset well that’s not his girl
Right? There are plenty of women out there who would prefer a man who makes less money but is kind, compassionate, loving, etc. Plus, women aren't always obsessed with extravagant lifestyles (mansions, designer clothes, sports cars, luxurious vacations, etc.) Some prefer a more simple, stable lifestyle.
A lot of women are mainly after money and things. I've seen far too many guys get divorced and what happens in divorce. Now, there are also a lot of girls that are not after the money. It's easy to find gold diggers when you are showing off your gold
most women arent just looking for men with money, but a man not having money is a deal breaker if that makes sense. He just needs to find a hardworking woman, and she won't be reliant on his hardwork.
I wonder if everyone will be giggling so patronizingly in 7 years when she takes his kids and he has to pay her half the value of the construction business.
People are shitting on him saying he isint as well off as he says he is. He is comfortable. He OWNS a house, makes 130k a year and has his own businesses. All at 25. He will do well in life. He's cautious about women because that's what they do. They go after money. People are mocking him because they weren't doing as well as him at that age.
Agreed. It's not all that much money by the lofty standards of people who have been working for the past 20 years (though it is still impressive -- I know several people in their mid 30's who would be gobsmacked if they ever managed to earn that kind of money). But the fact that he's in his 20's indicates he's way ahead of the game.
Lmao my boy is a 5 lb goldfish and a 3 foot pool. You ain’t balling like you think you are. I know a few younger twenties earning that personally. They are doing very well but 130k annually ain’t a meal ticket.
$130k isn’t bad at all for 25, but the thing I didn’t like was he never got a chance to say what his net worth was. He could be a trust fund baby, but he just enjoys what he does.
This is a huge problem in modern dating. Men think that just because they feel they make more than the average Joe that a woman is after them especially if the woman has standards. The woman he is looking for would be turned off by his attitude. Dont flaunt what you have an ppl wont know to come after you.
It would be one thing if you're rich and you ask that, but 130K, is decent, but not rich. Real gold diggers will go after millionaires. So, I probably wouldn't concern yourself too much with that
I'd say 130k is a lot for a 25 year old. Golddiggers will you and abuse someone at 60k and leave. They surely will use and abuse a 25 year old at his income level.
😂😂😂😂 For real. And loose his kids he will rarely ever see cause of court rulings. And be called a dead beat dad because he's never there. Something all guys aspire too.
Damn that. He needs to protect himself. He needs to find a woman who has and working towards their own goals. I am a woman with my own stuff. The wrong woman can bring him down
I was homeless and married someone making 6 figures. Most wealthy men don’t care about marrying a wealthy woman. I can’t offer monetary value but I do offer him support by taking care of our 4 kids, make him fresh food, take care of the household, budget, etc. My dad is extremely successful and my mom was a sahm their whole married life. It depends on the man and what he wants. Dave Ramsey’s wife is a sahm too. 😊
@@reviewsbygen5591Sounds like he doesn’t want a sahm since he was upset the woman he dated for 3 months asked about kids and how he was going to support them
@@ering7733 for some reason I missed that part. I’m always listening while vacuuming lol. Yea that’s a strange question after just 3 months from her but he cannot expect a traditional woman when he has untraditional requests. After a year of dating I would think it s a normal question though.
It's super easy. Buy an old beater Civic to take on dates. Dates should be free or really cheap. Never go back to your place. You are "in construction" when they ask what you do. After you have done this for 3-6 months you can start to open it up a little at a time.
Keep your financial blessings to yourself......after a while, you will have gotten to know her and if you wish to continue the relationship, maybe in a few months......tell her about it.😊
Prenup my brother, prenup. A woman can break you mentally, physically and financially. Be very very careful, never trust anything that bleeds and doesn’t die.
@@GrantFunkyFrabe my concern for the caller is that a money maker might be all he is, and he doesn't want someone to want him for his money, but brings nothing else to the table. He might have no style, no fitness, no values, no interests, no skills outside of work, no god, no sophistication, no higher education, no hobbies, no dressing well, no driving something at least decent, etc. It's ok to nose to the grindstone for a bit, but you can get stuck looking poor and basic while making bank.
Look within yourself, you attract your own kind. If all you can think of is make money, then you will attract women that only want money. You have to differentiate your business from personal life, majority of men/women can’t do that, they like to mix it up. When it come to your business focus on numbers, when it comes to your personal life focus on how you feel about the person and do things that make each other feel good. Don’t overthink, if you’re wrong let it be wrong…..
this caller who has no game went to get advice from two other people especially a woman who have no game either to learn the game to get with women when the caller makes it about them, so many failures in this video and bad advice smh
When I read that title I thought he was talking worth over a million... When he said 130K, I was like meh, that's well for his age, but not really that impressive. He sounds like one of my old boyfriends, everything was about how I am using him for his money, to drive etc. Meanwhile I owned my own home, had my own car, had a decent paying career etc. He wanted to go on a weekend away to a casino and I made it clear I wasn't interested in going to the casino for a couple nights, thus I wasn't willing to pay for it. He CHOSE to pay for it and then told me he paid so I had to follow his rule the hole time. Then he invited me to an out of state wedding for HIS friend and co worker and then bitched in a condescending way that I should not expect him to drive the whole way there and back.. Then he told me if we had kids I would be a stay at home mom, not asking me what I wanted, it was all about what his plans were. I think his self worth was so low he wanted someone who was dependent on him for money, but also made me sound like I was constantly using him for whatever.... Needless to say I was like yea, I am having my own career and the ability to support myself, and I am allowed to shower alone (yes, he wouldn't even let me shower alone when we went away because he paid for it). Anyway to the caller you sound exactly like this person, IF YOU THINK EVERYONE IS AFTER YOUR MONEY, YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED AT DATING!! Women are capable of making their own money these days!!
@ajax8079 Oooh, I love fortune telling. Can you tell me my future? I am expecting to close out this year with 200k, lady in my early 30s, homeowner, very healthy emergency fund/investments, look hot, have ok morals, and also have a proclivity for financials. I don't want no dusty and want to protect my empire.
@@ajax8079 "If he plays his cards correctly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. His business could be gone in a year. If a woman dates you while you're making median wages, and stays with you because they think one day you'll be successful, then I'd call that love. No different than me marrying someone because I think they'll make a great mother to my kids one day - these are the qualities men and women look for in each other
My take is he doesn't know how to have a full honest conversation with his gfs. I don't know if they are really gold diggers or just worried about the future. He can't even provide specifics here, maybe he's like that in the relationship?
130K is hardly wealthy 😂 I make around that, so does my husband and many of our friends make way more. We've all found solid people. He's completely dragging this out, just find a hardworking woman with a good head on her shoulders and a career and future of her own
A first year lawyer coming out of law school in the top 25% of their class can make $300K day 1 at a large firm. Many times that is a woman. Get over yourself, Josh.
@@Chad-qe6yvHe danced around the question. Someone with wealth almost instantly knows the answer. And DOES not start with “my business NW”. Dudes company is worth a million, maybe. His alone definitely is not. He gross is $130 running the ENTIRE Company. Meaning dude makes just as much as a regular employee being at a well established firm after like 5 years.
Yeah all those girls living in huts looking for a ticket out of their third world country, when they see a wealthy american coming around the corner, they truly love him for who he is
He could try having some emotional maturity and self-esteem, which he clearly has none. He defines himself by his money. What does he have to offer without that? That's what he needs to work on.
I'm 51yrs old. $40,000 weekly and *I'm retired, this video have inspired me greatly in many ways that I remember my past of how I struggled with many things in life to be where I am today!!!!* ❤️
Hello , I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?
Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Maria Frances Hanlon, has been an amazing experience.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Frances Hanlon) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
this guys is clearly coming from a lower income background and moved up to a higher income level, which still isn't considered very high yet. Get some perspectives on being in that income level and then think what he should do. All I can say is to meet people in that income level and learn good behaviors and bad behaviors.
If you are a transactional person, you might decide to look for someone who has as much money as you so you won't resent them. If you find value in other qualities that can't be bought, that is when your money won't matter. You should find a woman whose qualities are not transactional. She probably would prefer a guy who will actually love her instead of buy her things. Gifts are nice, but if they are given with resentment, they are worthless no matter how much you paid. I hope you understand what I am talking about. It really is the thought that counts! That is still true, even if the person receiving it was not worthy of the gift. There is also more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Try giving with no expectation of receiving in return sometime.
I know the subject of money has to come up in dating conversations at some point, but as a single man, I would advise to marry someone who is roughly on the same level financially (net worth and philosophy) as yourself.
Ken i completely disagree with you. Most young women are golddiggers. You didn't even try to help this man. He's probably worth nearly one million now at 25. Doesn't have station? Are you serious? Don't flaunt what you own. You know a tree by its fruit. If she doesn't have any drive, work ethic, energy, create value for others, etc. Is she a taker or giver? Get trusted persons, parents, friends, mentors, to meet her specifically to give you advice & feedback about her.
agree, they didn't take his question seriously.... 25 year old has trouble assessing the long term intentions of women and they bag on him bc of the way he asked it.
I have quite the feeling that this guy is flaunting his money and then acting surprised when gold diggers find him. Here's a tip, just act like you are a regular guy. Drive a regular vehicle and take the girl out on regular dates or cheaper dates work. If the girl is into art, take her to an art museum. Don't take her to a restaurant that costs $300 per meal. Yes, there are a lot women out there that are gold diggers. There are also a lot of regular women that are plenty happy as long as you have enough money to survive. In my opinion the gold digging girls have always been beyond obvious when you first talk to them. I have quite the feeling that this guy is doing himself no favors and probably hurting himself.
Are women not supposed to look for a life partner that has a good career, stable income, and can provide for a family. I bet he leads with his wallet and any woman that wants him to pay for a date he asked them out on is using him. Give me a break. Dude is only making 130k. You’re far from rich.
![KSI - Dirty [Official Visualiser]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VoDh1h1dPUE/mqdefault.jpg)
This guy doesn’t understand wealth. He might have had a few good years of income. That’s it. Also, he clearly leads with his income as being his personality. And he openly says he gets “physical” benefits from it. Wow. If you seek the right things you will find it.
I’m a woman who is low income. I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with him because he comes across as full of himself. I don’t want his money. I don’t have a lot, but God is providing for my needs.
@JewelBlueIbanez Amen, .. Wish more woman thought this way!! Blessings 🙌
why do I think he is seeking the same girls that are on OF except not on OF
This call was hilarious 😂
I get the feeling this guy called mainly so the hosts would tell him how wonderful and successful he is, not because he wanted his "question" answered.
This guy is so fuckin full of it lmao
Your money is part of what you bring to the table. It will ALWAYS be a factor in how attracted a woman is. It's in her best interest to find a great provider.
Men and wom3n are equal now so we're all going 50/50.
well nowadays this question goes to the women too, with how bad the inflation is often both adults have to work to provide for the family. Both my husband and I work full time, and we can't provide for the family with any of our income alone
I don’t understand it it’s like saying how do I find someone who doesn’t care how I look or about my personality
This dude thinks he’s a multi-millionaire. 😂
$130k per year isn’t THAT much money, and a potential partner wondering if you could provide for them in the future is not problematic. She’s looking out for herself, as she should.
She should look out for herself for sure, but if she won't give back to her man a female equivalent of what she's looking for, then she's selfish. Relationships r a give n take..
Only 10% of men earn more than $100k a year. The fact that you think this is normal is part of problem in today's dating market.
@@carterdoering3789 based on some googling ("income for men percentile"), it appears to be 25% of men earning over 100K. 32% of men earn over 100K, if you focus on those working full-time.
everyone should provide for themselves, she is not a baby. in that case no man should not be dating a woman that is not making as much as he is. We equal now, this is not the 1960's, she need to be able to provide for me just like I provide for her. To say a man should provide is sexist, just like if men say a woman should be in the kitchen cooking and washing his clothes is considered to be.
@@carterdoering3789 Not true! You can't believe the statistics you see on the internet.
Maybe the question for him should have been why he thinks a woman will notice only his (not even that large) wallet. If women only talk to you because you show off money, the problem is not the money but that you lack any other quality that can attract a nice woman, like being honest, funny, a good friend, respectful, honest, etc.
So true. Bring more to the table, don’t just flash some cash. Boy is putting out all the wrong vibes.
100% agree, this boy most likely has no true personality except showing off his wealth to everyone around him. I know a lot of ppl don't like Ken from Ramsey personalities, but he is right in this case, this boy is hanging out in the wrong pool, he probably gets his self-validation from flaunting around his so-called wealth all the time, most likely choosing to hang out with ppl who are financially not so well off so he can feel more successful. And he wonder why he only attracts gold diggers?
It's one thing for a woman to only care about the money. It's quite another thing to expect a woman to not care about your work ethic, earning potential and how you handle money. I would fully EXPECT a woman to care about those things and would not consider one who didn't care. My wife wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. That's what we both wanted. Therefore, my ability to make $$ (eventually) was important. She was not able to stay at home until almost 6 years into the marriage and a year after our first child was born, but she hasn't looked back since.
Well said. A woman is not evil for wanting a man who can provide for a family, nor is a man evil for wanting a woman who is loving, beautiful, kind, etc.
It’s not lost on me that men can want a woman who cooks (1 thing), cleans (2 things), births multiple kids (at least three things), maintains weight post pregnancy (4 things), drives the kids to all their school, sport and doctor appointments (at least 5 things), does the shopping for in-house hold items whether it be food, snacks, sanitary items, back to school shopping (6 things), is ready to have s3x whenever he wants it despite women generally having lower libidos on average (7 things), but whenever women want a man who provides (1 thing) with people act like they are demon spawns.
Too many dudes feel entitled to take from women without giving anything in return. Even in the first reply they named 1 thing for men (providing) and three things for women (loving, beautiful, kind). Ngl it generally makes it hard for me to feel sorry for men sometimes, especially when they go around proclaiming that women are only good for one thing and they expire.
Time more men started to think about those things as well with women.
You are all blessed to have each other
Guy calls in and brags about his income & wealth, which isn't really that much. Asks about how to find a woman that is not about his arrogant self.
To any women... Run
Damn they shit all over dude. Compared to other 25 year olds, he’s super up. And these women nowadays have no shame in straight up asking, and will ask early. Just gotta have more discernment and be steadfast with saying no.
Valid concern but he called the wrong show
It’s a valid concern but not as of now. He has the trajectory of being very successful but as of now. He’s doin well for his age but he’s only making $130k and unless he plans of getting married or being in a serious relationship. He doesn’t have to worry about anyone using him for his money
It is but he has to ask questions but he is a little too cocky. He can find woman that don’t need his money, but if he leads with it every time he will attract the wrong ones.

You dont have to be in extreme poverty to be a gold digger
No, you right..The upper ones are actually the more worrisome...They already know good life and they might feel entitled....😂
True, but dude is middle class
@@paulaqueirosz I was referring to how Ken kept saying extreme poverty, like it was enlightening, it was not. It showed his lack of understanding of what the caller was asking.
Yeah the caller was dalulu
@@napoleonbonaparte7204 if upper ones are already self-providers, then there's nothing wrong with wanting that. They already have the ability to get the income that can provide the life style they want. You can't expect all the ppl with high income to be willing to live much below their means. Not everyone is Warren Buffet.
I don't understand this guy. He isn't rich. He's doing o.k. What's he thinking? He makes 130 000 $ before taxes with his business. He's no where near millionaire status. He needs to invest his money. If he finds a decent woman, who's raising his children, he should be glad.
If she's telling him, she wants a family, what's wrong with that?
Children are expensive, they need a loving home. If she wants a gift, that's all right as well. Is he stingy?
Well said💪🏻
U don't understand, the guy is having issues because, the women in his life they r so busy demanding what they want from him n yet they won't give back anything in return,in a way that makes sense to him .seems to me like an unfair situation.why should u be the one to benefit from me,n I get nothing from u.
.. I don't like the guys answering the questions,I don't think they have enough wisdom to handle those kind of matters,they could not see the problem at hand,just like u guys, n so they couldn't give an appropriate solution,they rather shamed him..
How'd he buy his house off 130k, crazy
I recommend everyone to find the book titled The Elite Society's Money Manifestation, It changed my life.
“Manifestation” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Nope 👎 I’ll take prayer and a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The advice I gave my daughter when she said she was going to get married I told her to ask him 3 questions. What do you owe, What do you make, What are you worth. My daughter was 22, owned a house, had a 60K job in 2003, and only debt was a 130K mortgage.
He has elevated himself in his own mind.
He wants to save himself from people like you
He's absolutely killing it for 25
Not true. This guy is crushing it for his age.
People need money to live, to eat and to play. A potential dating partner is going to be evaluating you and what you bring to the table because that's how the world works. If she can't take care of herself, run. Simple. Caretaking is for when you're married and have health issues. And don't waste your time and get physical with them early on because that just clouds your judgment if you're a normal (not narcissistic) person.
I think he's fallen into his own snare. He's not worked it out to date and find real compatibility first.
This guy basically said “I’m hot stuff. Only benefit my ex’s offered was sex. How do I keep away from gold diggers because I’m hot stuff?”
Some of these comments primarily from men are just laughable and as a college educated white-collar professional in accounting and finance, they don't represent my lived experience.
My career has spanned over 20 years since graduating from college in 2002. And in that time, I have worked with amazing, intelligent, college educated women who earn anywhere between $70,000 - $200,000+, which is more than many of you.
If you are a high achiever, seek other high achievers. It is really that simple. And high achievers don't want yours, they take pride in their own accomplishments and their own money. The idea that there aren't woman out there who are high achievers and earn good coin is just ludicrous and wrong!
Agreed completely. I am a high achiever in life, but probably a mid- income achiever at 32 (80K) and my wife is a lower income achiever bt high achiever when it comes to life. It works out as we both work hard on our marriage, health, and all the other things that come with life.
@@Shortballa11 I replied to you elsewhere but unlike many men on here, I am not and cannot be misogynistic or sexist on these topics and I'll tell you why. Because of the above comment. The benefit of having a career where I have worked with so many women is, I have encountered many women who are as smart or smarter than I am, who earn as much or more than I do, who have a sense of pride in their own accomplishments, etc.
But then I come to sites like this, and it is one negative generalization after another! And even saying what I did would garner insults for claiming that any woman may be smarter than a me a man because you know, it is impossible for a woman to be smarter than a man.
Nobody is saying there aren't successful women out there. The reality is though, most people aren't like that, most people grow up with struggles and not the sheltered/academic environment you did. There are TONS of people out there who don't have their shit together and will do just about anything for financial gain including dating someone for financial support.

Excuse me for real?, how is that possible I have struggling financially, how was that possible?
Thanks to my co-worker whom God used to give a great opportunity of crossing paths with 'Mrs KATE ELIZABETH BECHERER'.
She's a licensed broker here in the states🇺🇲 and finance advisor.

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Kate Elizabeth Becherer on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
I don't love the derision of calling a grown man who's clearly way ahead of the game financially "kid," but other than that I can't find all that much fault with your advice. He's doing extremely well by any measure, but not so well that he's gotta worry about gold diggers.
He has a lot of maturing to do 😂🙄

@@kypl1910he'll stay single, or get married and then divorced.
Lol are you serious? You don't think picking the wrong female can lead to a lot of problems? You must've grown up sheltered...
Clearly yes 😅
If the person he's with is not thinking of how she's going to reciprocate the value given to her by her man, then the person that needs to mature is the female not the man. She can demand whatever she wants, but is she's unwilling to match that energy nobody will take her seriously..
130k a year? Before or after taxes? Sir needs to simmer down because that’s barely middle class these days.
As a man he shouldn’t be surprised that he is dating a women that is asking questions like, “how would you provide for children? What will our life look like?”
That’s not a gold digger at all! That’s a woman filtering out the men from the boys.
So no strong independant women that would work. Just a housewife from the 50s. Did I just dream the equality movement?
#1 - Augusta, Maine. $130,000 per year is absolutely a wealthy income in that area.
#2 - if you can't manage a middle class lifestyle in virtually any area in the US outside of a few urban centers with that salary, that's a you problem. $130k is easily upper middle class, *particularly* at 25 years old.
Agree with the rest of the post, though. It's absolutely fair game for women to want to know they'll have a stable income when they're knocked out of the working world by way of children.
@@bvoyelr in the part of California I live in, 130k is almost what you pay just to live. In my area rent for something average is $4,100 a month, plus the cost of everything else and when you at kids into the mix it really adds up. So where I live $130k is nothing to brag about. Well, at least it’s not big money in my area.
@@commonenglishmistakes4360 why does every women need to work for a man to value them? Women naturally have different roles in life and there’s nothing wrong about that. If a woman is looking to have a more traditional lifestyle that is definitely her choice and if she wants that she has every right to ask the questions that pertain to her wants.
Dave Ramsey himself has said that his wife Sharon has not worked and she’s been a stay at home wife. Are you saying that she’s less of a wife because she does not work?
VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN! All the good ones get snatched up in their 20’s. Many times those good ones get cheated on and hurt in their 30’s, and now they have kids. In their 40’s they are “finding themselves.” In their 50’s they decided they don’t need anyone. In their 60’s they are lonely and realizing death is a decade or 2 away, and don’t want to die alone. My point is in your 20’s you need to focus on finding the right one, not finding one for right now. Your partner is WAY more important than getting college degree, the perfect job, etc. the right partner will make your life picture perfect, the wrong one can give you herpes from cheating on you, bankrupt you in divorce and keep you from seeing your children. Choose wisely. Your partner is THE most important decision you will make in your life
While I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment. Focusing on your future is very important. People change, especially young people. I agree it’s important to find your “soulmate” it is equally as important to keep improving yourself.
If you don’t love yourself how can expect someone else to.
I really wish someone told me this ages ago. I'm 26 and still single; I've been focused professionally my whole life and now I'm lonely AF. Never been good at seeing the right signals and too anxious to put myself out there. Knowing my right pool is closing in slowly but surely isn't helping either. Knowing it's not too late is the only thing keeping me sane and knowing I'll soon finally be in a "steady-state" with everything I need and a + NW following DR and others' principles. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel to get myself out there and succeed far more than just professional/overall wealth.

@@ricksanchezsflask8794 maybe in middle america, certainly not in big cities on either coast. That's the price to have a roof over your head lol
I thinking asking "What are your professional goals?" is perfect to discern what type of person they are. If they have goals and talk passionately, they are probably career-driven. If they mention work-life balance or being able to earn enough to support a family, they are probably family-driven, but not afraid of work. If their avoid the question or mention other life goals apart from their career, they have no interest in working and would rather stay at home while you provide monetary support for the family.
None of these are wrong. But just straight-up ask and most people are going to be honest.

I was hoping Jade would be the perfect Ramsey personality for this question(she normally is)! Ken is out to lunch not understanding he wants advice on finding someone wanting him for him and not his money!
It was Subway day. He was getting the tuna.
He needed to call a dating podcast. He seemed to not know how to discern a gold digger from a traditional wife/mother. How could they even help him with that?!
People acting as though gold diggers won't target a guy earning $130k.
It's real simple, FIND AN EQUAL AND THEY ARE OUT THERE!
If the gold diggers just pop up as the caller says, that tells me you are looking in the wrong areas. I am a man; I make low 6 figures. My direct manager is a female, and she makes more than I do. The head of the department is also a female is in her 40s, married with kids and she makes more than both of us do.
I have this sinking suspicion that this guy is finding women who are waitressing for example. Not that I am knocking the service industry, but I THINK THE CALLER IS THE PROBLEM!
Yes, there are many financially independent women. But they don’t have fake boobs and fake eyelashes. Try harder bud 😂
"an equal".
If you think the only thing that makes someone an equal is how much they make....smh
The problem isn't him dating somebody simple like a waitress that doesn't make a lot of money. His problem is that he seems to flaunt how well he is doing which will then attract a certain type of person.
Also just because you found someone that makes the same or more than you doesn't mean it is better for you. Hell, look at Ben Affleck and JLo. She makes more than him and wants like half of his money in divorce. Again, it comes down to the type of people that you attract.
You can have money, attract a nice girl that makes little money and her not be a gold digger.
so your solution is that he date women that are over 1-2 decades older than him....
@@Ka_Gg Correct an equal is not just about money but it is partly about money. It is also about values and one value is being a high achiever. If you are a high achiever in whatever you do, maybe you should seek another high achiever.

This is very interesting. He feels attracted to women that look like gold diggers , obviously but he doesnt want it at the same time. My question: are you interested in real women or in thophies?

So, his real question would be: how do I choose a woman who is not a lovely woman but a woman that looks like a gold diggerr so that she fits with my business visión?
Honestly just date around nothing serious until you know she is the right one to talk about money too
Simple drive hoopty.., not fancy cars
They didn’t even try to find out his net worth. How much equity does he have in house? How much does he have in retirement? How much is his business worth?
He coulda answered instantly if he actually had a large NW. the guys values himself on the business, meaning his NW is either substantially inflated or under true value.
Literally almost any financial person would tell you business valuation is highly subjective, ESPECIALLY something like a small business. It’s not a public company it’s a private small construction firm. Meaning I can pull 10M outta my ass and say it’s worth that much. Highly doubt anyone would pay that much for it.
The greatest advice from a divorce lawyer: live your truth. If you like a girl and she likes your money for a sense of security, then so be it. Dont go around looking for a girl who can take care of the kids and provide everything needed by herself. Just make sure she is responsible with her money and not asking you for stuff beyond her means.

@@alhajituray1093 most actually do want laid back women. They are the most desired.
You don't know how men think.
Take the same girl and clone her. Make one of them high maintenance and high strung. Make the other girl low maintenance and laid-back. The laid back one will have far more men than take her serious and want to be with her.
I assume you are not a man.
Correct. They consider laid back as “boring”.
The first example, i dont think asking the man what he can provide is considered gold digging. most of the time, that's just someone who's forward thinking in life. Asking for A LOT of materialistic things and MONEY makes someone a gold digger.
Yeah, there's 3 possibilities:
1) she used just about literally the words he said, and she's merely being direct by asking it that way, or
2) he's reading into it and getting scared and cutting bait b 4 things get too serious, or
3) she's a golddigger. Either way, we don't know enough from the call.
The woman who dated this guy for 3 months and then asked about children etc. is a wise woman not a gold digger. She knows she doesn’t want to waste her or his time dating if they don’t have the same goals. She liked you and wanted to know do you want children,do you want a stay at home mom or working mom, do you have goals or will she be carrying the entire marriage. The best thing he can do is use discernment when dating. What are his goals. Marriage,kids,etc. If he’s dating someone and she’s asking for him to go to 5 star restaurants, buy expensive gifts, dresses in name brand clothing but doesn’t have her own income, stays at the nail salon,shops constantly then she prob won’t line up with his financial priorities.
130k lol. You’re not going to have a problem, bud.

Exactly. This guy is doing well, but he's not rolling in it. If he's attracting nothing but gold diggers, then he probably actually living beyond his means, because a 130K income shouldn't look so flashy to attract gold diggers. Basically, he's creating his own problems.
Honestly just sounds like him bragging.
He’s doin well for his age but $130k ain’t no crazy super income
@@reese85 are completely delusional........
Or just pretend to want to have a serious relationship with them and just pump and dump:)
Facts
I would make it very clear that I set boundaries on relationships that include financial issues. Let the woman know from the start that you will not let her abuse you financially.
If you do marry, then make sure you have an ironclad prenup that will discourage gold diggers.
A spouse should always be a partner, not a parasite.
You marry a person, not a bank account.
If she won’t sign a prenup she is telling you she cannot be trusted. Tell her early on that you would be offended if she didn’t sign a prenup.
I think my son is in the same situation. He is 26 & very accomplished but so far the girls he meets always asks about his money. I have been married to my husband over 30 years & neither one of us asks about money until we got engaged & was getting ready to combine our finances. My son like this guy- there are some girls that are just looking for a meal ticket.
If he’s sleeping with them, he’s expecting wife benefits without husband responsibility. Good way to get a woman looking for proof of commitment.
I think it’s smart the points that you are making. However, I would ask early due to make sure they are smart with finances. I don’t want to marry a person who is irresponsible with money but I can see your points I want to marry a Christian man who is on the same page. I love working and it’s attractive to have a hard working man. I can’t imagine not working lol. I love God and to have a true purpose in life by doing ministry/other job while providing for my family with.
What planet do you live on? Not asking about finances before getting serious with someone is a BIG mistake. You don’t want to marry someone who is in debt, can’t save, doesn’t make enough to pay their bills, has bad credit etc. If your son is indeed only meeting women who want a “rich” guy, he needs to take a serious look at where he’s meeting these women.
@@hilaryb8807 haha yup, like what Ken said, he's hanging out in the wrong pool if he's meeting gold diggers all the time. And he needs to self-reflect what is he putting out there that's attracting gold diggers only. Maybe all he talks abt are his finance and how successful he is, and not his hobbies or exploring interesting things in life etc.
So a woman was asking about what she's looking for. And he considered her as after his money?
She was just saying what she is looking for in life.
I guess u dint hear the part where, the woman won't reciprocate the value given to her by her man? You'd be ok, with tht arrangements right?
@@armywithbanners2458 We don't know what he means by reciprocate.
Talk about your common interests... not your $$. Save the money talk for later!
He’s 25… I don’t know many 25-year-olds who are making over six figures… and building businesses…so great job! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The average income in the United States is $60,000… So this young man is killing it and he doesn’t want to end up with a gold digger or someone with different values/ morals, and spending habits so he just has to be selective with his choice of lady who’s not all into superficial material Things like the majority of people are… I hope he keeps searching and finds the right girl he’ll be able to tell by what she’s doing with her life… Where she comes from is irrelevant… It’s her work ethic, her determination, her mindset, and her future goals… If she has a poverty, mindset or gold digger mindset well that’s not his girl
I live in Maine too. 130k is 3 times the per capita median income
Why do some men think women are always after their money. You are what you attract.
Because most of them are
Right? There are plenty of women out there who would prefer a man who makes less money but is kind, compassionate, loving, etc. Plus, women aren't always obsessed with extravagant lifestyles (mansions, designer clothes, sports cars, luxurious vacations, etc.) Some prefer a more simple, stable lifestyle.
A lot of women are mainly after money and things. I've seen far too many guys get divorced and what happens in divorce.
Now, there are also a lot of girls that are not after the money. It's easy to find gold diggers when you are showing off your gold
Because they always are. All women are gold diggers.
most women arent just looking for men with money, but a man not having money is a deal breaker if that makes sense. He just needs to find a hardworking woman, and she won't be reliant on his hardwork.
I wonder if everyone will be giggling so patronizingly in 7 years when she takes his kids and he has to pay her half the value of the construction business.
People are shitting on him saying he isint as well off as he says he is. He is comfortable. He OWNS a house, makes 130k a year and has his own businesses. All at 25. He will do well in life. He's cautious about women because that's what they do. They go after money. People are mocking him because they weren't doing as well as him at that age.
I agree! I wish I were making that at 25! I’m 25 years old and will be graduating next year from college. 😅
Agreed. It's not all that much money by the lofty standards of people who have been working for the past 20 years (though it is still impressive -- I know several people in their mid 30's who would be gobsmacked if they ever managed to earn that kind of money). But the fact that he's in his 20's indicates he's way ahead of the game.
Josh, if you read this, call Anthony O’Neil! He used to work for Dave Ramsey and had a great gold digger story. AO should’ve taken this call.
Lmao my boy is a 5 lb goldfish and a 3 foot pool. You ain’t balling like you think you are. I know a few younger twenties earning that personally. They are doing very well but 130k annually ain’t a meal ticket.
average per capita income in augusta Maine is $34k. He is making several times that at 25. He is killing it.
I know people who make $500k monthly lol -so, yeah you right. 130k definitely not a meal ticket lol
$130k isn’t bad at all for 25, but the thing I didn’t like was he never got a chance to say what his net worth was.
He could be a trust fund baby, but he just enjoys what he does.
This is a huge problem in modern dating. Men think that just because they feel they make more than the average Joe that a woman is after them especially if the woman has standards. The woman he is looking for would be turned off by his attitude. Dont flaunt what you have an ppl wont know to come after you.
Ummmmmmm......worried about a gold digger? You sound like an average dude.
CEO’s and a McDonald’s server can still be taken advantage of by greedy women.
6 figure 25 year old isn’t average
It would be one thing if you're rich and you ask that, but 130K, is decent, but not rich. Real gold diggers will go after millionaires. So, I probably wouldn't concern yourself too much with that
He owns his home, too. It isnt just his salary.
I'd say 130k is a lot for a 25 year old. Golddiggers will you and abuse someone at 60k and leave. They surely will use and abuse a 25 year old at his income level.
This guy is gunna miss out on all the fun and the life lessons of losing half his stuff in divorce court.
😂😂😂😂
For real.
And loose his kids he will rarely ever see cause of court rulings. And be called a dead beat dad because he's never there.
Something all guys aspire too.
🤣🤣🤣 LOL
Never reveal you have money to a women , that's the fastest way to get your pocket drain
Don’t get married and don’t live together. Get established and go over seas.
Best advice on here, by far!
Thanks for the XAI600K update! I am loving my XAI600K!
Damn that. He needs to protect himself. He needs to find a woman who has and working towards their own goals. I am a woman with my own stuff. The wrong woman can bring him down
I was homeless and married someone making 6 figures. Most wealthy men don’t care about marrying a wealthy woman. I can’t offer monetary value but I do offer him support by taking care of our 4 kids, make him fresh food, take care of the household, budget, etc. My dad is extremely successful and my mom was a sahm their whole married life. It depends on the man and what he wants. Dave Ramsey’s wife is a sahm too. 😊
@@reviewsbygen5591Sounds like he doesn’t want a sahm since he was upset the woman he dated for 3 months asked about kids and how he was going to support them
@@ering7733 for some reason I missed that part. I’m always listening while vacuuming lol. Yea that’s a strange question after just 3 months from her but he cannot expect a traditional woman when he has untraditional requests. After a year of dating I would think it s a normal question though.
I am watching , just bc of her !! She soo nice to look 👀 at !! Her hair is beautiful
It's super easy. Buy an old beater Civic to take on dates. Dates should be free or really cheap. Never go back to your place. You are "in construction" when they ask what you do. After you have done this for 3-6 months you can start to open it up a little at a time.
And don’t sleep with her. Best way to trigger paranoia about her expectations is to trigger her bonding and asking for wife benefits.
"In construction" but he wears a suit to work everyday.
@@ricksanchezsflask8794I know 3 guys who own construction companies, and they all wear jeans to work.
This call is hysterical!
Keep your financial blessings to yourself......after a while, you will have gotten to know her and if you wish to continue the relationship, maybe in a few months......tell her about it.😊
This right here…it’s so obvious. But he wasn’t here to find that out, he was here to flex and it backfired and I’m here for it.
Prenup my brother, prenup. A woman can break you mentally, physically and financially. Be very very careful, never trust anything that bleeds and doesn’t die.
The caller has a valid concern.
Yea. They downplayed it and gave a shit take.
The host are delusional. 130k for a 26 year old is top 5% for that age.
Ken Coleman: “everyone deserves dignity”. 5 seconds earlier “stop hanging out with girls from trailer parks”
@@talle2029 a lot of people, who don't make that, talk down at it like they have room to talk.
@@GrantFunkyFrabe my concern for the caller is that a money maker might be all he is, and he doesn't want someone to want him for his money, but brings nothing else to the table. He might have no style, no fitness, no values, no interests, no skills outside of work, no god, no sophistication, no higher education, no hobbies, no dressing well, no driving something at least decent, etc. It's ok to nose to the grindstone for a bit, but you can get stuck looking poor and basic while making bank.
Look within yourself, you attract your own kind. If all you can think of is make money, then you will attract women that only want money. You have to differentiate your business from personal life, majority of men/women can’t do that, they like to mix it up. When it come to your business focus on numbers, when it comes to your personal life focus on how you feel about the person and do things that make each other feel good. Don’t overthink, if you’re wrong let it be wrong…..
Caller: Hey look at me and my success!
Girl: Here I am looking.
Caller: Stop trying to rob me!

i like how this guy basically got gaslit by telling him golddggers dont exist
When did they tell him gold diggers don't exist?
@kbanghart when they told him "hey maybe it was a communication issue" when trying to backtrack on his lived experiences with them
@@eddtoonYou mean when the woman he dated for 3 months wanted his thoughts on children and financial future?
@@ering7733 yeah...3 months in and youre asking the guy about how HE is going to provide for you financially not as a joint effort even
agree OP, people might not like the way he asked the question but it's a legit question and lame response by host
Nothing wrong with a person wanting their partner to provide a livable income.
When I read that title I thought he was talking worth over a million... When he said 130K, I was like meh, that's well for his age, but not really that impressive. He sounds like one of my old boyfriends, everything was about how I am using him for his money, to drive etc. Meanwhile I owned my own home, had my own car, had a decent paying career etc. He wanted to go on a weekend away to a casino and I made it clear I wasn't interested in going to the casino for a couple nights, thus I wasn't willing to pay for it. He CHOSE to pay for it and then told me he paid so I had to follow his rule the hole time. Then he invited me to an out of state wedding for HIS friend and co worker and then bitched in a condescending way that I should not expect him to drive the whole way there and back.. Then he told me if we had kids I would be a stay at home mom, not asking me what I wanted, it was all about what his plans were. I think his self worth was so low he wanted someone who was dependent on him for money, but also made me sound like I was constantly using him for whatever.... Needless to say I was like yea, I am having my own career and the ability to support myself, and I am allowed to shower alone (yes, he wouldn't even let me shower alone when we went away because he paid for it). Anyway to the caller you sound exactly like this person, IF YOU THINK EVERYONE IS AFTER YOUR MONEY, YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED AT DATING!! Women are capable of making their own money these days!!
He's 25yo with his own business pulling in 130K a year, he will be worth millions if he plays his cards correctly.
@@ajax8079 Agreed, but I am talking about right now, not 5 plus years from now!!
Here you are writing a whole ESSAY over an ex that should be a distant memory. It’s obvious that you were the problem and he moved on. 😏
@ajax8079 Oooh, I love fortune telling. Can you tell me my future? I am expecting to close out this year with 200k, lady in my early 30s, homeowner, very healthy emergency fund/investments, look hot, have ok morals, and also have a proclivity for financials. I don't want no dusty and want to protect my empire.
@@ajax8079 "If he plays his cards correctly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. His business could be gone in a year. If a woman dates you while you're making median wages, and stays with you because they think one day you'll be successful, then I'd call that love. No different than me marrying someone because I think they'll make a great mother to my kids one day - these are the qualities men and women look for in each other
My take is he doesn't know how to have a full honest conversation with his gfs. I don't know if they are really gold diggers or just worried about the future. He can't even provide specifics here, maybe he's like that in the relationship?
130K is hardly wealthy 😂 I make around that, so does my husband and many of our friends make way more. We've all found solid people. He's completely dragging this out, just find a hardworking woman with a good head on her shoulders and a career and future of her own
Try owing 130k and you’ll find out real quick that it’s a big deal. 😏
@@handleyobusinesstotal non sequitur, this is about income
@@handleyobusinessowing and making 130k is not the same. When you make $130k, that money is taxed etc etc but when you owe $130k. You owe $130k lol
Depends where you live. In some parts of the country, 130k is a ton of money.
@@reese85 Whatever you say bud.

A first year lawyer coming out of law school in the top 25% of their class can make $300K day 1 at a large firm. Many times that is a woman. Get over yourself, Josh.

Hello , I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?
Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Maria Frances Hanlon, has been an amazing experience.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Frances Hanlon) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I do know Ms. Maria Frances Hanlon, I also have even become successful....
this guys is clearly coming from a lower income background and moved up to a higher income level, which still isn't considered very high yet. Get some perspectives on being in that income level and then think what he should do. All I can say is to meet people in that income level and learn good behaviors and bad behaviors.
You called the wrong show, young man.
Call up Coach Greg Adams.
Shout out to the coach gang.
Absolutely
If you are a transactional person, you might decide to look for someone who has as much money as you so you won't resent them. If you find value in other qualities that can't be bought, that is when your money won't matter. You should find a woman whose qualities are not transactional. She probably would prefer a guy who will actually love her instead of buy her things. Gifts are nice, but if they are given with resentment, they are worthless no matter how much you paid. I hope you understand what I am talking about. It really is the thought that counts! That is still true, even if the person receiving it was not worthy of the gift. There is also more happiness in giving than there is in receiving. Try giving with no expectation of receiving in return sometime.
The manosphere has these men in a chokehold.
I know the subject of money has to come up in dating conversations at some point, but as a single man, I would advise to marry someone who is roughly on the same level financially (net worth and philosophy) as yourself.
Ken i completely disagree with you. Most young women are golddiggers. You didn't even try to help this man. He's probably worth nearly one million now at 25. Doesn't have station? Are you serious?
Don't flaunt what you own. You know a tree by its fruit.
If she doesn't have any drive, work ethic, energy, create value for others, etc. Is she a taker or giver? Get trusted persons, parents, friends, mentors, to meet her specifically to give you advice & feedback about her.
agree, they didn't take his question seriously.... 25 year old has trouble assessing the long term intentions of women and they bag on him bc of the way he asked it.
I have quite the feeling that this guy is flaunting his money and then acting surprised when gold diggers find him.
Here's a tip, just act like you are a regular guy. Drive a regular vehicle and take the girl out on regular dates or cheaper dates work. If the girl is into art, take her to an art museum. Don't take her to a restaurant that costs $300 per meal.
Yes, there are a lot women out there that are gold diggers. There are also a lot of regular women that are plenty happy as long as you have enough money to survive. In my opinion the gold digging girls have always been beyond obvious when you first talk to them.
I have quite the feeling that this guy is doing himself no favors and probably hurting himself.

Are women not supposed to look for a life partner that has a good career, stable income, and can provide for a family. I bet he leads with his wallet and any woman that wants him to pay for a date he asked them out on is using him. Give me a break. Dude is only making 130k. You’re far from rich.
