I was expecting dave to tell him to get a second job delivering pizzas for a different company, I mean he himself claims his advice does not change no matter the circumstances as they are universal and work for everyone soooo 😂
Me af I use to work 70 hours a week and I managed to save 32k and im only 23 but I went through depression and I don't have the motivation I use to. To work the same now
I'm in the same position. Moved back with my parents at 26 and starting over. You can do anything you set your mind to, young man. The hardest part is believing you can do it.
Same boat. Forced to move back in with my parents after the end of a serious relationship. Debt free, 6 months of EF, and finishing up my degree. Not at the point I’d like to be to be able to move out but I’m working towards it!
@jjcampbell80 those all more or less overlap but the big thing he's missing is motivation. He clearly doesn't have a goal in life, doesn't know what to do. He needs to start applying for 5-10 jobs a DAY and putting in some actual effort in order to change his life.
Dr. Johnny Sins Thats mostly false. Im 23 and most people around my age right now in my state are all living with their parents because rent ANYWHERE is ridiculously high and near mortgage money. Nothing wrong with living with your parents to save money if they allow it.
You can do HR with a psychology degree. It is VERY related... you don't need to get a HR degree. My HR teacher in business school was a Psychology professor..
@Diem Golightlyyep, all that matters is having a degree in something. He doesn't even need the certification to get a good job in HR and most places will pay cover the cost of the certification too.
Yess!! That’s what I’m always telling people who are in college/graduated etc. Majority of the people including myself have careers that are not close to what their major was. Will mines is similar but the industry I preferred is different. You really just have to start somewhere and build skills and a foundation to get to where you really want to be.
So very true. I am an HR Mgr and have a finance degree. Having a certification, such as a PHR or SPHR, with any degree is all that's needed. Experience counts more.
Kry Kry once I graduated undergrad and had interviews there were males in hr who would interview me but I’d definitely say more women than men were in hr
The guy will be debt free by today and has an emergency fund. I would find a roommate and get a cheap place then start looking for higher paying jobs. He's not in bad shape at all just need to keeping improving.
kellen gray Your Mom won’t pay your way? Awwww. I certainly wouldn’t expect my kids to pay the going rate but I’d certainly expect a weekly contribution, fixed amount, don’t think about skipping it. I paid $80/mo to live at home - in 1965. It was my first obligation. My friend likewise. Her parents saved it towards her wedding but she didn’t know that (and she was an only child). I moved out as soon as I turned 21 (super toxic environment), but back then it was pretty much expected you lived home till marriage. I didn’t marry till 34. Never would have lasted 13 more years! And paid for my own wedding.
I think this how a lot of kids feel. Parents and teachers make it seem like you just go to school and jobs are right there waiting for you after. They don't tell you how to actually get the job. Most kids think go back to school and try the process again. It's never gonna work. You just gotta keep applying and pray you get something. Once you start and learn a little more things become easier. The next job you already know what real working is like.
So so true. You got to get a job any job after school whether you like it or not but once you get your foot In the door learn a thing or 2 then you can move on to something bigger and better. Really you need to just keep pushing foward.
@Sponge Bob he has no life experience. Everyone thinks once you turn 18 you're an adult. Idk why? Unless someone has taught you to do something you aren't gonna know. Doesn't matter your age.
@Sponge Bob At a certain age, you would have to have an agreement with ur parents about your responsibilities in the house. They obviously can't treat you like ur 16,17 anymore.
I think this was a semi-fake call. With $29k in savings why would this dude be living at home at 27 years old??? He can rent a room for $800 a month in Charlotte.
@@Originalman144 I don't think it's fake. I don't live with my parents but I live with my fiance and her dad. I'm only 23 though but stacking money like crazy. 60k so far. At this rate I will be able to buy a NICE house in cash when I'm 30 (if I wanted to) I actually plan on getting a mortgage in a year or two for a RENTAL property, and just continue living as I am. One day I'll own my own house. But for now, I aim to retire early (hopefully in my 40s) if I bought a house now i would not reach that goal. I would be working till I'm 53-60 which is not what I want.
As grateful as I am to not have to work at a pizza place anymore, I do miss that excitement of bringing home a free pizza or two that someone didn't pick up and watching a movie at home.
Love/hate relationship delivering pizzas for sure. It was fun driving everywhere and basically being your own boss, but if you ever got a bad tip it just sours your mood. You eventually get used to it but the wear & tear on the car was real!
Delivering pizzas isn’t the type of experience you want if you are going into HR. Yeah, he has a degree, but a degree without relevant experience is almost worthless. Lots of kids have found this out the hard way.
Exactly me, I was 22 delivering pizzas and living with my parents. Finally moved out at 23, living in Nashville and trying to pursue my freelance business and I’m making it so far! Gotta make the jump.
Still in Nashville! The journey is NOT what I imagined, but I love the work I do now. About a year and a half ago I had so many freelance music opportunities I stopped doing pizza delivery and now just grinding music full time! Got to work with some crazy artists I've looked up to for years. Don't know where I'd be at if I didn't make the jump haha @@jailanrayvon434
I think people are too concerned about somebody's living situation. Honestly with rents as high as they are and the economy as bad as it is, this guy's working full time and has savings -- he's winning. Coasting would be doing nothing. Dave tells people to work side hustles during bad times and actually has 28k in CASH. Dude I want to trade places with this dude. There are a lot of people doing a lot worse than this guy here. He sounds like a hard worker that just needs a step in the right direction. Why is it a bad thing to be living with your parents? All these people that are out paying 1000+ a month for an overpriced apartment and they're all in debt.
this young guy is doing amazing..hes not in jail.hes not broke and he has a safe secure place to live. and he has a job and can save money.HES WINNING.
Riverdale tales with that attitude you will always be a victim. Although sad, life won’t care and will go on. You must overcome deficiencies you may have that others don’t, such as a network.

@@hkmamacmd428 Nothing wrong with knowing another language. Not being able to get a job just because you don't know Spanish is. There are plenty of job applications where Spanish is a must to get the job. Even if you excel in the actual work, if you don't speak Spanish, sorry. What other countries have a bilingual requirement? The only reason they would have that requirement is if you worked with foreign companies like when you work for a shipping company.
@@sblijheid ...then Learn spanish? It's not hard, I had to learn english because I care about my future, but if you care about a job, how hard is it to learn spanish? Incluso puedes practicar con amigos latinos
My parents have passed, too. You're so young. Sorry you have to experience that. It's much harder than people on the other side of it can fathom. But you are on a great track so I believe they left you with some valuable life lessons. I hope you will eventually pass those lessons off to you own children, one day!
I would encourage him to get his HR Generalist, then PHR and eventually he can do his SPHR certification, but he is looking for direction. No need to say Dave called his bluff. He is just misinformed and needs direction. Good luck to him and kudos for saving up that much money!
I don’t get why Dave recommends people moving out. Why not get the job first, while building more savings and then move out? I don’t know why Dave harps on that when, in most cases, living at home will save you lots of money that can be used to help build wealth at a younger age.
ive seen this in a lot of caucasian homes. their parents kick them out once they're 18. they should motivate them to save and do a trade if not college or something so when they're ready they can move out
Because the dude has $30k in savings and needs to stop feeding off his parents. By your logic, why not live off your parents kindness for all of eternity?
@@johnmarston16 I live with my parents and help with bills and help cook and clean . It's an american thing I don't understand. They want your child out of the house once they turn 18.
Keep your spirits up! I was 28 working at a grocery store with an ‘unmarketable’ degree. I topped off my education with another two years to get a marketable degree. I was a hustler on a hamster wheel. As soon as I got off, it was growth, growth, growth! Became a millionaire at 40.
It happens, dude. Some of us find it hard to get that initial step going. I understand this caller. We are all different and have different battles to overcome.
I literally just graduated with a psychology bachelors degree and am going into HR. He has everything he needs to get into that field, just needs to do it! I might do a couple of small certifications (payroll and HRIS) for my own understanding/knowledge and give myself a little step forward, but I don’t need that to get started. But the reason I did psych (with a business minor) is because it’s so versatile, you can go into so many fields with a psych background and make a decent living.
The real question is, how many people that are in their mid 20s to mid 30s still live at home with their parents? because the price of homes are way over priced. Same with renting a place as well, Its way over priced. $2k a month for a closet size unit. And debt free.
That is because many people think college is the only way to get a good paying job. Here is the news flash: It doesn't guarantee you one. Go to a trade school or a specialized school.
I am 24 and live with my parents, your mental health is at stake, I have to deal with not having privacy having to eat what they cook , having to do what they say , also they fight a lot so I have always wanted to move out but cant
I’m 27 and in the same position as this guy, my love life struggles because I live with my parents. As the start of 2021 I started telling women my parents live with me, oh what a game changer this has become 🙃🙃🙃
Im 31, renting a room from one of my relatives. I do work always busy , no debt. Not planning on having a woman or babyz. 130k in savings. Does it look bad?. I dont have to live to show ppl the standards or fit in society and getting married and expensive house and meetings just to show up like everyone else.
elmateo77 you are right im trying to see where i can invest. Never had knowledge about investing or relatives who advised me or anything like that. As far as right there just sitting
@@fastdeliveryl708 Index funds, easy, simple and safe. Could be making 10k a year just of interest from index funds with 120k. That could pay rent right there.
why move out ? i lived with my parents until i got married at 28 and had over 100k savings with 120k job its not about money. living with parents if they cool is awesome. i miss living with them. my dad is my best friend and they have a 5000 sqft house so i didnt have a “space” issue. eating mom’s food daily is the best. why move out if not married. you get to see your parents daily and help them too cuz they old repaying some of the life they gave you
Can I ask you a question? How were you able to find a wife living at home? My struggle is dating while still living at home saving up. It just seems weird and impossible to have a single social life while living at home.
SephoraQueen2k im a simple guy i got out of college focusing on school. i have close friends i hangout with and come back home by evening. i dont smoke, drink, party. so it was simple. my best friend is my dad. our age is close so we go to baseball games and movies alot. as far as wife, im middle eastern culture so we dont have girl sleeping over or things like that. i married my wife 6 months after knowing her. we go out once a week and she met my parents few times before getting married. simple
Zaid Chalabi lucky you. I’m 28 and still single. I know I have time. I just feel like living at home is causing me not to date since I respect my folks enough not to have people over... makes me want to move out even more but the amount I am saving from staying home is too good lol
SephoraQueen2k listen. dont just base your future on dating. its awesome that your respect your folks. and most of guys are useless these days and not serious anyway. So focusing on saving/future is way more important. once you married and have kids, it will be very difficult to save. I bring home $3500 biweekly and with wife and 3 kids and mortgage and no debt, im not saving any. i do live pretty good life but if i didnt have nice savings, house downpayment and good job and no debt, i wouldnt be able to make it. focus on your future,education, job then good men will come. all it takes is one good guy. 9 out of 10 will be idiots and not husband material lol but dont just move out of house for that reason :/
SephoraQueen2k I’m 28 living at my parents moving out by the end of the week. But I had no issues at all when it came to dating. Most guys I talked to had their own spot or we would get a room. As long as you’re not sitting at home being a bum you should be fine. It’s much easier for a woman staying home then a man.
Also in HR, worked my way up there from waitress in a bar, to waitress in a hotel, to receptionist in a 5-star hotel, to hospitality recruiter, to hr, to recruitment/hr business partner. You got this bro.
Lord...that's one of the biggest myths in business. HR is not about taking care of people or "having a big heart". HR is about managing the business centered around employees
HR is the easiest job at any company. I have worked for a couple large firms and the HR department is by far the most uneducated and simplest job role they employ.
@@hectormorones8733 lol I told my mom I'd be happy to move back with her and save money, but her and my husband said no. 😅😅😅. I'd love to not have to pay rent lol.
@@hectormorones8733 Im35, single and just moved back to my parents house to stack mad paper. My plan is to stay with the folks at least a few years so I can really build up a really big portfolio so I can retire a milllionare. People can make fun of me all you want. This is actually normal in other countries like Japan, spain india etc. I had relatives that did the same. Not here in the USA though, youre considered a loser if you live with your parents. id rather save money then pay crazy expensive rent , even if you get a roomate its still expensive.
We need to have conversations with kids about doing degrees that have no viability or commercial demand after graduation. I really wanted to study English Literature and my mum said what are you going to do with that, she was right. So I switched!! So thankful she made me consider a life after education.
I was a Registered Nurse and later in life I ended up working in HR. Like they said, start in an entry level job and work your way up. I loved it. My main focus was training and performance management.
Amazing video! Dave Ramsey completely nailed it. This man absolutely has a psychological block on moving forward. In his perspective all he can see is the block that he doesn’t have what it takes to make money, but Dave can see that he has everything and more to easily move forward immediately. I love this video.
It's a real blocker I am in a similar position with a bachelors degree in psychology... If I had a general business degree my options would be much greater. I've been in interviews where they'll ask me what my degree is in and they say something along the lines of "I'm really glad you were brought in today even though your credentials don't match" and then after that, I'm ghosted.
The problem is you're trying to get in with education and not experience. Once you have experience, nobody cares what degree you have (at least outside of academic oriented careers). The problem is if the education you have doesn't match the job description, then the employer seriously questions you have any qualifications from their perspective. Try to start very low on the totem pole and gain experience in a specific skillset. Psychology teaches you absolutely zero job skills and that's the issue with it.
@Futurebreeze it's amazing how much a politician can get under someone's skin. I never let the awful president named obama dictate my life or hold me back.
Very specific? You mean pretty much everywhere. Doctors, lawyers (in most states), social workers, dentists, engineers, teachers, officers in the military as well as being promoted in the military in upper enlisted ranks, nurse practitioners, veterinarian, psychologists and psychiatrists, professors, (too many to keep listing) etc. Not only that but degrees on average earn more over a lifetime compared to non degree holders.
@@BadMannerKorea There are many other jobs out there that can produce as much or more income than what you just mentioned and need 0 college, plenty of IT work can be done without a college degree, marketing, sales jobs
TechYK Yeah cool. Except if you want to be any of those professions you need an education. These are not “very specific”, they’re all over. Even in blue collared jobs there is an increase in education attainment and requirements....
None of my company’s HR people have full degrees in it. They got their foot in the door and eventually promoted. Had a recruiter who’s now Senior People Business Partner after 4 years with the company.
@@jailanrayvon434At 23 I left home in Maryland and moved to Virginia and spent $25,000 on rent that year. Just to literally call a place my own, that could've been invested money. I moved back in with my parents with NO shame.
Agreed!!! As someone who recently entered HR here are some thoughts... my bachelors degree did help but it was mostly about the work experience I was able to get. Internships, recruitment work, classes, and seminars all were what really helped. Anything I was able to do that taught me to have great customer service, manage conflict, do very basic accounting, and write clear communications all helped me! All the directors I worked for had advanced degrees but a lot of more senior, non- management HR folks just had certifications.
I feel like Dave doesn't like it when young adults live with their parents, isn't there lots of financial advantages that comes with living with parents?
@@RandomGuy-ct7ns its a fun experience.but not if they are flat broke ..or working poverty job.its ok to live on your own its actually pretty cool to have your own place..it all depends on the $$$$
My sister has a really good HR job with only a bachelor’s degree in psy. No student debt. After college she worked as a bank teller for about 3 years and keep applying to different places. She slowly got better job after better job and now she is good. In fact she turned down a job recently.
There's something about the allure of going back to school, that can make one feel like its the answer to all your career problems. When it comes to college or grad school, have a clear trajectory. If your career path requires it, do it. If it doesn't, don't.
Aw he sounds smart and responsible. He’s afraid of scrutiny, rejection, and/or failure. I feel that way too bro. One baby step at a time. That’s all you need to do
That was me ! Living at home delivering pizzas at 22 ! Then I got myself a great job with big raises twice a year with bonuses and vacation time , but I still needed to take the next step and the company that I work for offers to pay for my schooling so I will go to school next.
@@alexbob5209 The colleges telling you that you need a degree to get a decent job is a scam. In most cases you don't if you know how to network and work hard. They just want your money.
This young man can definitely do it. If he can obtain a paid internship and get some experience. Think he needs a confidence boost and good folk to help encourage him.

Being a recruiter could be the most important stepping stone to your dream career. Being a recruiter means that you will have the opportunities to interview the top performers of your dream career. You will also know how the companies evaluate and make hiring decisions, and the specific skills and traits they are looking for. Then, you can focus on acquiring those specific skills. If you are smart, you can build the network that will pull you into your dream career.
Everyone I know in HR, did not go to school for HR. Even if the company I work for, everyone that's been in HR has started off in a different department. Our current HR manager started in the Logistics Department.
That's because the barriers to entry are very low. You just have to have the right personality. Most of the "head knowledge" is company-specific and doesn't get taught at a University. Sure, you'll need to learn about the law along the way. But, as Dave said, a couple of one-off classes is all the formal education you'd need and then OJT will fill in the rest. My wife did a career change to HR from teaching a couple of years ago. We ran her through a Graduate Certificate Program (4 graduate level classes) to give her an HR credential on her resume. That was overkill. She was able to get hired easily and has been successful ever since.
Here is how I did it... I worked for Temp Agency for 3 years building up experience from various roles then I broke away from the Temp Agency and used all my experiences from Temping for various companies including fortune 500s to land a job! find a temp agency they will place you in assignments you will make about what your making delivering pizzas but your also getting experience! You dont even have to work for them for 3 years like I did I just wanted to make sure I had extensive experience... a year or two temping working various temp HR roles then you can probably break off from the temp agency with quite an impressive resume and find your own job and during the interview whenever your asked why did you leave this or that job explain that you were a temp and your contract expired! AND DONT MOVE OUT LIVE AT HOME LONG AS POSSIBLE TO SAVE THE RENT MONEY AND PUT IT INTO A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT
I like how they said "You got to get in the game!" This is a valuable lesson, as a lot of people just give up. You've got to keep playing the game if you want to win. It's the ol' "you lose 100% of the shots you don't take" type of slogan.
Find 20 companies in the town/city near you. Go to there website and apply to their HR department. You'll get 3-5 call backs and 1 will turn into your job🙃👌🏼
I'm in a similar position. Living with relatives and delivering through Door Dash. It's going to be hard to give this gig up. I'm averaging $25 an hour. I keep hearing "it's a great way to pay off student loans". Why stop there?! Pay off a house while you're at it lol
That's my problem. I'm 24, have a bachelors degree, no debt, just moved out and I still deliver pizza. My bring home average is $24 an hour. It's hard to get my foot in the door applying my degree when id start out making half that. Granted in the long run I would make way more, but for the first couple years id be making way less.
Currently works in Hr & my boss told me I need a Master's degree in order to move up, but the job did not had a tuition reimbursement program. I look at her & told her that I refuse to go deeper in debt. Now I'm trying to get IT certs & looking to get into IT

kellen gray Your Mom won’t pay your way? Awwww. I certainly wouldn’t expect my kids to pay the going rate but I’d certainly expect a weekly contribution, fixed amount, don’t think about skipping it. I paid $80/mo to live at home - in 1965. It was my first obligation. My friend likewise. Her parents saved it towards her wedding but she didn’t know that (and she was an only child). I moved out as soon as I turned 21 (super toxic environment), but back then it was pretty much expected you lived home till marriage. I didn’t marry till 34. Never would have lasted 13 more years! And paid for my own wedding.
@@MrsEJV Yeah I pay $400 a month living at home.
Kevin B Good for your parents. In reality, that covers your groceries. Hope you help out some. I’m pretty old school.
I think this how a lot of kids feel. Parents and teachers make it seem like you just go to school and jobs are right there waiting for you after. They don't tell you how to actually get the job. Most kids think go back to school and try the process again. It's never gonna work. You just gotta keep applying and pray you get something. Once you start and learn a little more things become easier. The next job you already know what real working is like.
So so true. You got to get a job any job after school whether you like it or not but once you get your foot In the door learn a thing or 2 then you can move on to something bigger and better. Really you need to just keep pushing foward.
@Sponge Bob he has no life experience. Everyone thinks once you turn 18 you're an adult. Idk why? Unless someone has taught you to do something you aren't gonna know. Doesn't matter your age.
@Sponge Bob 25 years old. And clearly he doesn't know what adulthood is.
@Sponge Bob 25 is the answer to ur question about when those rights should be returned.
@Sponge Bob At a certain age, you would have to have an agreement with ur parents about your responsibilities in the house. They obviously can't treat you like ur 16,17 anymore.
Guy sounds a little depressed; needs this sort of advice and support to get a goin'.
Agreed. He sounds like he wants better but doesnt really understand or believe that he has what it takes to get it. I feel for him.
He got 29k in savings. He's doing quite well for himself.
eppsislike He can low key out a down payment on his own house. I hope he has. A good credit so he can buy a house.
@@angelgjr1999 True. You can make a down payment on a house with 10k. Something else is going on with him. Maybe depression is halting his growth.
tulips Yes anxiety and depression
$29,000.00 in savings?! A ton of folks would kill for that these days.
I think this was a semi-fake call. With $29k in savings why would this dude be living at home at 27 years old??? He can rent a room for $800 a month in Charlotte.
His net worth is over -60k don’t want that money if it comes with that price tag
J Williams definitely not fake. My bro is close to 40 and has quite a lot of savings but lives at home (he pays rent and lives in a mansion).
@@Originalman144 I don't think it's fake. I don't live with my parents but I live with my fiance and her dad. I'm only 23 though but stacking money like crazy. 60k so far.
At this rate I will be able to buy a NICE house in cash when I'm 30 (if I wanted to)
I actually plan on getting a mortgage in a year or two for a RENTAL property, and just continue living as I am.
One day I'll own my own house. But for now, I aim to retire early (hopefully in my 40s) if I bought a house now i would not reach that goal. I would be working till I'm 53-60 which is not what I want.
@@Originalman144 maybe he wants a stable job before he moves

As grateful as I am to not have to work at a pizza place anymore, I do miss that excitement of bringing home a free pizza or two that someone didn't pick up and watching a movie at home.
Yeah I agree, a fun high school or college job.
Love/hate relationship delivering pizzas for sure. It was fun driving everywhere and basically being your own boss, but if you ever got a bad tip it just sours your mood. You eventually get used to it but the wear & tear on the car was real!
Dude I deliver pizza and make a killing..
Hit the nail on the head with this one. He has everything he needs to get into HR. All he has is a mental block.
What if no one gives him a job?
What if he didn't want to get into HR though? Could this work for someone vying for a less generic career?
The current job market is most likely the block.
.... And ...
He's the one with Psychology degree ( face palm emoji)
Delivering pizzas isn’t the type of experience you want if you are going into HR. Yeah, he has a degree, but a degree without relevant experience is almost worthless. Lots of kids have found this out the hard way.
Dude needs to stop with school. Job search.

Sometimes we use school as a crutch when we don't know what we want to do in life.
He has 29k in savings but lives at home delivering in pizzas. He seriously doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life.
Exactly me, I was 22 delivering pizzas and living with my parents. Finally moved out at 23, living in Nashville and trying to pursue my freelance business and I’m making it so far! Gotta make the jump.
🙏
How’s the business going?
Update?
Still in Nashville! The journey is NOT what I imagined, but I love the work I do now. About a year and a half ago I had so many freelance music opportunities I stopped doing pizza delivery and now just grinding music full time! Got to work with some crazy artists I've looked up to for years. Don't know where I'd be at if I didn't make the jump haha @@jailanrayvon434
I think people are too concerned about somebody's living situation. Honestly with rents as high as they are and the economy as bad as it is, this guy's working full time and has savings -- he's winning. Coasting would be doing nothing. Dave tells people to work side hustles during bad times and actually has 28k in CASH. Dude I want to trade places with this dude. There are a lot of people doing a lot worse than this guy here. He sounds like a hard worker that just needs a step in the right direction.
Why is it a bad thing to be living with your parents? All these people that are out paying 1000+ a month for an overpriced apartment and they're all in debt.
this young guy is doing amazing..hes not in jail.hes not broke and he has a safe secure place to live. and he has a job and can save money.HES WINNING.

@@slikas5127 whats the problem with speaking another language? Other countries have a bilingual requirement because their citizens aren't ignorant
@@hkmamacmd428 Nothing wrong with knowing another language. Not being able to get a job just because you don't know Spanish is. There are plenty of job applications where Spanish is a must to get the job. Even if you excel in the actual work, if you don't speak Spanish, sorry.

I'm 26 and basically the same as this guy. I have 44k in saving. But both my parents are dead!
I'd give anything to live with my parents :/
My parents have passed, too. You're so young. Sorry you have to experience that. It's much harder than people on the other side of it can fathom. But you are on a great track so I believe they left you with some valuable life lessons. I hope you will eventually pass those lessons off to you own children, one day!
im sorry for you
I hear you 🌹
I would encourage him to get his HR Generalist, then PHR and eventually he can do his SPHR certification, but he is looking for direction. No need to say Dave called his bluff. He is just misinformed and needs direction. Good luck to him and kudos for saving up that much money!
I don’t get why Dave recommends people moving out. Why not get the job first, while building more savings and then move out? I don’t know why Dave harps on that when, in most cases, living at home will save you lots of money that can be used to help build wealth at a younger age.
ive seen this in a lot of caucasian homes. their parents kick them out once they're 18. they should motivate them to save and do a trade if not college or something so when they're ready they can move out
Because the dude has $30k in savings and needs to stop feeding off his parents. By your logic, why not live off your parents kindness for all of eternity?
Moving out before you're married is an American thing, not sure why. It doesn't make any sense to waste money on housing when you don't have to.
@@johnmarston16 I live with my parents and help with bills and help cook and clean . It's an american thing I don't understand. They want your child out of the house once they turn 18.
Ok that I understand. If I had 30k in savings I'd buy a house and move out lol sounds weird
Keep your spirits up! I was 28 working at a grocery store with an ‘unmarketable’ degree. I topped off my education with another two years to get a marketable degree. I was a hustler on a hamster wheel. As soon as I got off, it was growth, growth, growth! Became a millionaire at 40.
Just another person "preparing" to be successful vs going out and doing it.

That 1st step is always the hardest.. But once it's made, oh boy watch out 😆
Great point 👍
Lats routine bro?
It happens, dude. Some of us find it hard to get that initial step going. I understand this caller. We are all different and have different battles to overcome.
I literally just graduated with a psychology bachelors degree and am going into HR. He has everything he needs to get into that field, just needs to do it! I might do a couple of small certifications (payroll and HRIS) for my own understanding/knowledge and give myself a little step forward, but I don’t need that to get started.
But the reason I did psych (with a business minor) is because it’s so versatile, you can go into so many fields with a psych background and make a decent living.
I've always heard a bachelor's in psychology is useless.
The real question is, how many people that are in their mid 20s to mid 30s still live at home with their parents? because the price of homes are way over priced. Same with renting a place as well, Its way over priced. $2k a month for a closet size unit. And debt free.
Yeah and entry level jobs require experience but you cant get wxpierence without getting a job why minimum wage 15
Im 27. I went to school learned a certificated trade and left with a B.S. I make 30 an hour and couldn't afford the house if I wanted....
That is because many people think college is the only way to get a good paying job. Here is the news flash: It doesn't guarantee you one. Go to a trade school or a specialized school.
I am 24 and live with my parents, your mental health is at stake, I have to deal with not having privacy having to eat what they cook , having to do what they say , also they fight a lot so I have always wanted to move out but cant

By "130k in savings" I sure hope you mean invested, not sitting in a savings account getting slowly eaten away by inflation.

why move out ?
i lived with my parents until i got married at 28 and had over 100k savings with 120k job
its not about money. living with parents if they cool is awesome. i miss living with them. my dad is my best friend and they have a 5000 sqft house so i didnt have a “space” issue. eating mom’s food daily is the best. why move out if not married. you get to see your parents daily and help them too cuz they old repaying some of the life they gave you
Can I ask you a question? How were you able to find a wife living at home? My struggle is dating while still living at home saving up. It just seems weird and impossible to have a single social life while living at home.
SephoraQueen2k im a simple guy
i got out of college focusing on school. i have close friends i hangout with and come back home by evening. i dont smoke, drink, party. so it was simple. my best friend is my dad. our age is close so we go to baseball games and movies alot. as far as wife, im middle eastern culture so we dont have girl sleeping over or things like that. i married my wife 6 months after knowing her. we go out once a week and she met my parents few times before getting married. simple
Zaid Chalabi lucky you. I’m 28 and still single. I know I have time. I just feel like living at home is causing me not to date since I respect my folks enough not to have people over... makes me want to move out even more but the amount I am saving from staying home is too good lol
SephoraQueen2k listen. dont just base your future on dating. its awesome that your respect your folks. and most of guys are useless these days and not serious anyway. So focusing on saving/future is way more important. once you married and have kids, it will be very difficult to save. I bring home $3500 biweekly and with wife and 3 kids and mortgage and no debt, im not saving any. i do live pretty good life but if i didnt have nice savings, house downpayment and good job and no debt, i wouldnt be able to make it.
focus on your future,education, job
then good men will come. all it takes is one good guy. 9 out of 10 will be idiots and not husband material lol but dont just move out of house for that reason :/
SephoraQueen2k I’m 28 living at my parents moving out by the end of the week. But I had no issues at all when it came to dating. Most guys I talked to had their own spot or we would get a room. As long as you’re not sitting at home being a bum you should be fine. It’s much easier for a woman staying home then a man.
Synopsis: Get in the game
Also in HR, worked my way up there from waitress in a bar, to waitress in a hotel, to receptionist in a 5-star hotel, to hospitality recruiter, to hr, to recruitment/hr business partner. You got this bro.
He’s doing great to be honest.
Lord...that's one of the biggest myths in business. HR is not about taking care of people or "having a big heart". HR is about managing the business centered around employees
HR is the easiest job at any company. I have worked for a couple large firms and the HR department is by far the most uneducated and simplest job role they employ.
HR job is to prevent the company from getting sued 🤑
They lost me when they said the whole HR department was great. Iv never met one good one in my life
🤣🤣 me neither. Although some are better.
I mean Dave is the owner of the company, I'd hope he thinks his employees are good otherwise why would they still be working there?
I currently have a fantastic HR person. She is, however, the only good one I’ve ever had. Definitely a unicorn.
It's nice to hear an average person calling in to the show instead of the typical 'I make six figures but am bad with money' caller.
He’s honestly on the right track, I wish him the best of luck! ✨
No shame. Keep grinding and earning/saving more.

Not here in the USA though, youre considered a loser if you live with your parents. id rather save money then pay crazy expensive rent , even if you get a roomate its still expensive.
We need to have conversations with kids about doing degrees that have no viability or commercial demand after graduation. I really wanted to study English Literature and my mum said what are you going to do with that, she was right. So I switched!! So thankful she made me consider a life after education.

It's a real blocker I am in a similar position with a bachelors degree in psychology... If I had a general business degree my options would be much greater. I've been in interviews where they'll ask me what my degree is in and they say something along the lines of "I'm really glad you were brought in today even though your credentials don't match" and then after that, I'm ghosted.
The problem is you're trying to get in with education and not experience. Once you have experience, nobody cares what degree you have (at least outside of academic oriented careers). The problem is if the education you have doesn't match the job description, then the employer seriously questions you have any qualifications from their perspective. Try to start very low on the totem pole and gain experience in a specific skillset. Psychology teaches you absolutely zero job skills and that's the issue with it.
Remember people, aside from some very specific industries work experience trumps education.
@Futurebreeze 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Futurebreeze it's amazing how much a politician can get under someone's skin. I never let the awful president named obama dictate my life or hold me back.
Very specific? You mean pretty much everywhere. Doctors, lawyers (in most states), social workers, dentists, engineers, teachers, officers in the military as well as being promoted in the military in upper enlisted ranks, nurse practitioners, veterinarian, psychologists and psychiatrists, professors, (too many to keep listing) etc. Not only that but degrees on average earn more over a lifetime compared to non degree holders.

Agreed!!! As someone who recently entered HR here are some thoughts... my bachelors degree did help but it was mostly about the work experience I was able to get. Internships, recruitment work, classes, and seminars all were what really helped. Anything I was able to do that taught me to have great customer service, manage conflict, do very basic accounting, and write clear communications all helped me! All the directors I worked for had advanced degrees but a lot of more senior, non- management HR folks just had certifications.

Being a recruiter could be the most important stepping stone to your dream career.
Being a recruiter means that you will have the opportunities to interview the top performers of your dream career. You will also know how the companies evaluate and make hiring decisions, and the specific skills and traits they are looking for. Then, you can focus on acquiring those specific skills.
If you are smart, you can build the network that will pull you into your dream career.
At least he knows how to save money. Pay off the loans and get that work experience. Night classes are definitely an option. That's what I did.
Everyone I know in HR, did not go to school for HR. Even if the company I work for, everyone that's been in HR has started off in a different department. Our current HR manager started in the Logistics Department.
That's because the barriers to entry are very low. You just have to have the right personality. Most of the "head knowledge" is company-specific and doesn't get taught at a University. Sure, you'll need to learn about the law along the way. But, as Dave said, a couple of one-off classes is all the formal education you'd need and then OJT will fill in the rest.
My wife did a career change to HR from teaching a couple of years ago. We ran her through a Graduate Certificate Program (4 graduate level classes) to give her an HR credential on her resume. That was overkill. She was able to get hired easily and has been successful ever since.
Go work for a temp hire place! God speed, just get in the race.
Here is how I did it... I worked for Temp Agency for 3 years building up experience from various roles then I broke away from the Temp Agency and used all my experiences from Temping for various companies including fortune 500s to land a job! find a temp agency they will place you in assignments you will make about what your making delivering pizzas but your also getting experience! You dont even have to work for them for 3 years like I did I just wanted to make sure I had extensive experience... a year or two temping working various temp HR roles then you can probably break off from the temp agency with quite an impressive resume and find your own job and during the interview whenever your asked why did you leave this or that job explain that you were a temp and your contract expired! AND DONT MOVE OUT LIVE AT HOME LONG AS POSSIBLE TO SAVE THE RENT MONEY AND PUT IT INTO A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT
I like how they said "You got to get in the game!" This is a valuable lesson, as a lot of people just give up. You've got to keep playing the game if you want to win. It's the ol' "you lose 100% of the shots you don't take" type of slogan.

That's my problem. I'm 24, have a bachelors degree, no debt, just moved out and I still deliver pizza. My bring home average is $24 an hour. It's hard to get my foot in the door applying my degree when id start out making half that. Granted in the long run I would make way more, but for the first couple years id be making way less.
Currently works in Hr & my boss told me I need a Master's degree in order to move up, but the job did not had a tuition reimbursement program. I look at her & told her that I refuse to go deeper in debt. Now I'm trying to get IT certs & looking to get into IT
You could also look at getting a similar HR position in another company that offers tuition reimbursement or doesn't require a masters (most don't). Or if you find IT more interesting then do that.
@@elmateo77 I realized that HR is not for me so I'm trying to change careers. I'm glad that I found out it's not for me before I got the Master's. It saved me from the heartache & headaches
@@dfya3294 For sure. Well I'm in IT and I can tell you it's a great field if you're passionate about tech (if not you'll probably hate it). Any idea what you want to specialize in? (networks, security, software development, etc)
@@elmateo77 I've always been interested in IT but someone talked me out of it when I went to college. I figured that I'll tap into it when I realized the person in our file room had a Master's degree in HR & had a hard time finding another HR role (I'm the Receptionist🙄). I was like I'll be competing for the same roles w/ those who had a Master's. Anyways, I'm currently enrolled in an Associate's degree program at CC (tution is covered, only have to pay for books which is out of my pocket) & I'm currently learning JS while looking for jobs. Hopefully, I can use that knowledge & my current skills to become a tech writer or web design.
I'm 27 living at home 😭 in school for marketing and event management. I need to get into my career. I'm so stressed it's awful.
You can do it. Keep it up.
You're doing better than most, enjoy the time with your parents.
You have done this lad a great service. Kudos!
You got it man you can do it if HR is what you want you can DO IT!!!!!
I’m 13 and have about $1200 in stocks! Thanks for all the advice! I love finance and you inspired me to make my own channel about finance, stocks, Entrepreneurship, later real estate, and more! Thanks!
Be humble and understand that some people don’t want to see you happy and they may be closer than you think.
@@x7Votorious84x a lot of people just fear the sacrifices it takes to be successful, and in turn put that same fear onto you when they know you're taking risks.
1) you are young and will be filthy rich if you don't make stupid choices thus I kinda hate you.
2) check out mark tilbury he has ideas for young people that may help you get richer so I can hate you more
3) good luck stay strong and don't let people who wish they were you get you down or stop you.
I always hope callers ask Dave how he’s doing just we can hear the “better than I deserve”
There's a difference between a job and career. Grownups have careers, kids have jobs.
Don't be an elitist.
@@grillbaked just being a realist
@@crack1270Jobs are primarily for adults.
There are middle aged people working uber , doordash or in low paying jobs . Even educated people may end up being forced into these jobs
You sound entitled
This guy gets right to the point 👏
hey man, ur only 27, no debt, $30k savings.. its game on bro..ur in a great position way better than u think
This. Its a shame American culture has made this guy out to be a loser when in reality he's anything but.
I wish there was a Dave Ramsey type show in the UK. He gives such good advice.
