Gotta love all the old boomers in the comments section as well as Dave thinking that if inflation really is hurting you that badly you can just up and grab an extra $5 an hour job at a moments notice. Some of you are seriously out of touch for what it is like for the middle class and poor right now, and the solution certainly isn't to just stop drinking coffee every morning.

When the dollar tree went up to $1.25...that should tell you that inflation is up around 25%. We aren't watching the news. We are living our lives. Inflation is destroying the middle class.
Yeah he's not always right. High prices are effecting folks on low incomes. Especially folks who has to buy gas for work and then have to pay the higher prices for everything on top of that.
Love Dave and he pretty much always hits the mark… but you missed this one Dave the rate of inflation is wiping out us middle and lower middle class pockets
Inflation is literally killing the middle class and ushering in more into the welfare state. Dave needs to understand what is happening in this country.
Worrying accomplishes nothing. You can only control the factors that you can control and that’s what you should be focusing on. I think that was the message.
@@dipsuny it's actually isn't hyperinflation. I encourage you to study economic history. High inflation and hyper inflation are two very different things. Shops aren't changing prices multiple times a day, people aren't getting paid twice in a day. The only hyper here is hyperbole
High interest rates like that meant institutions weren’t buying thousands of homes at a time driving up prices. Also, the median household income to median home cost was not so out of whack. It wasn’t so bad. Evidenced by the fact that boomers had about 20% more real wealth by the age of 30 than millennials have, now with an average age of actually about 34.
Everything in life is a choice. You chose to be financially irresponsible, you choose to succeed. People have made it from worse, people have failed from much better.
Dave is too wealthy to understand how difficult life is for the $20/hr working-class. Every car repair, every appliance repair, medical problems... set people back 10 steps.
Fair point....but it's also fair to say that people like him have succeeded to such a degree that he's inflation proof. He earned the protection; talked it - and walked it.
Sorry Dave you are wrong. Inflation will decimate so much of the u.s. population in terms of their spending capabilities and ability to support their families. I am wealthy not as wealthy As You Are. It will not affect you but it will affect those who now pay twice as much for food each week. This is the most insensitive and unrespectful of all the Ramsey shows
Keynesian economics, decrease inflation by lowering demand, raise interest rates and unemployment. 2.5 million people getting laid off will be bad for them.
My house is paid for. I have no debts. I have a nice amount saved up. I'm OK...and yet, the inflation rate is still destroying everything around me. Not to mention the massive lack of supplies across the board. It's pretty horrendous that Dave just "poo poos" the destruction of the middle class.
Sorry, Dave, it DOES hurt, and is unsustainable. A 2% raise this year (which I’m thankful for) is not covering the current cost of fuel and groceries. We are cutting where we can, but it IS a big deal.
One example, I bought canned cat food that was $1.48 a can. Yesterday it was $2.39 a can. Petsmart and Petco shelves look like a post apocalyptic movie set.
I disagree... Inflation can very well "kill" people who don't make much money to begin with. 😔 Sure, some people may say: "Well, just get a higher-paying job then!" Well, for some people it's just not as easy as snapping your fingers. Plus, if everyone got the 100K jobs, who's going to be doing the "lower income" jobs then? Huh? I mean, people just need to admit that inflation is out of control these days, and this country can't continue to keep going on like this. You cannot continue to raise prices across the country and yet not raise the income level (I'm not talking about just raising minimum wage 🙄) so that people's incomes are commiserate with the area in which they live so that they can comfortably live. It's just not sustainable in the long run. Idk why people don't see this. I feel like we are going to see the biggest economic downturn in decades if we're not careful. 😥
You're exactly right. People always want to criticize low wage workers, without realizing that the services they provide are the backbone of our country. The same goes for immigrants. Without them, entire industries would be wiped out, and not just the agricultural industry that comes to mind when people think of immigrants. I work for a medical device company in Minnesota and easily 95% of our workforce are immigrants. Without them, we wouldn't have the lifesaving products we all need.
Agreed, incomes are catching up in certain industries, but not all. Inflation affects everyone regardless of what type of business they work in. (Also just FYI, it's "commensurate". Commiserate means to express sympathy or empathize with, not to match in size or value. 😉)
@@BuIIet No he says get $1000 saved, get out of debt, then save 3-6 months of expenses. The big part of his teaching is getting out and staying out of debt. When you have no debt you have a lot more money to work with. Inflation sucks but if you have managed your money as Dave has taught and made wise financial choices inflation won’t be as much of as an “emergency” as everyone has been making it out to be.
I love Dave and by no means am speaking on a general basis, but this was incredibly difficult to listen to. He really needs to learn to view things from the average persons perspective.
We're paying almost SEVEN BUCKS a gallon here in No Cali. It's absolutely Absurd!! I am livid over this. That makes all food prices shoot up as well. It's been difficult.
even those like me who completed his baby steps are affected by inflation. I spend a lot more per week at the grocery store. Keep in mind I don't buy meat, alcohol or junk food and I live by myself. Not so long ago I remember my bill not exceeding $30 per week.
@@dachicagoan8185 Me and you both--there's a lot of things I can't eat since I've gotten older, so my choices were limited already. I used to have trouble spending over $50 at the grocery store, now it's no problem at all. It doesn't help that I refuse to shop at the Wal-Mart on principle and there's not much choice in a small town if you don't do that.
Obviously, someone who makes $200k a year won't be as hurt by inflation as opposed to someone who makes less than $50k a year. Dave is a multi millionaire if not a billionaire so he really does not feel it like people lower down on the income rings.
What if.. you lived like no one else.. then when the storm comes it's no big deal. I don't mean to sound insensitive but what happens to the pig with the brick house?? Work the plan and yes, it is going to be the toughest thing you have ever done, but once you make it out on the other side.. that is the reward. Inflation doesn't affect me, other than sticker shock. Years and years of working the baby steps will grant you the same peace. Financial peace.. wow I sound like Dave.. that was not intentional but it is the truth. Keep your head up, you can do it!!
These rich peoples flippant attitude about 5.00 a gallon gas really annoys me. They don't lay awake at night wondering how much further you can stretch your savings and wondering if you will have to start selling your personal belongings.
I’m not reading the articles, I’m looking at my bank account after heat/gas/groceries/mortgage increases feeling this, two years ago 27/hr would’ve had me feeling “rich” today, I feel like I’m at 12/hr
If you own a lot of assets, like Dave, you’re actually making more wealth during these times. The dollars themselves are pretty meaningless to you. They go up. They go down. It’s whatever. When your own millions of dollars of real assets you’re not qualified to talk about inflation, ironically.
@@yeahbuddy5280 all the rents went up groceries, heating and all. I’m the only income earner in the house during this time and it’s been tough while letting my roommate find herself a good paying job which she has started now. I never thought making 25/hr plus would still have me needing a second income when I dodnt live above my means before
My husband and I have a great income. We have no car loans or consumer debt, but we are feeling it at the end of the month with a family of four. I feel like it is very narcissistic of Dave to tell everyone to just ignore these insane inflation prices! Obviously, Dave has not been grocery shopping in years!!
Not a big deal when you got money. I’m debt free but I can tell a huge difference. My rent went up 300 more per month and everything else increased. I was saving 1300 a month now it’s half that and I had to cut out everything extra. No eating out or traveling. No driving except to work and back.
I don't think this has anything to do with anyone watching the news. The NEWS didn't tell me that my rent, gasoline, car insurance, food, natural gas, laundromat, car wash, Netflix, and literally every other expense I've encountered has gone up drastically within a small window of a few months. I SAW them all with my own eyes when I went to pay for them and the cost was suddenly higher, and in some cases doubled. I don't think anyone is going overboard on news binging here. It is just our everyday reality at the moment, and it is drastically affecting people. But I do think that people would like to know if and when these prices will go back down, or if all this drastic price hike is a new permanent "normal."
Are those private companies who the supreme court carol decided there only goal was to make profit at the expense of all else and didnt we have laws in place called anti trusts at one point howver the pro company man policy has gotten rid of that hasnt it all your stuff has gone up because we are all being taken advantage of by private greedy ceos who provide little and want every cent out of your wallet third world problems in a first world country thank the elite
So if I saved and invested 10 percent of my income for investing, how am I supposed to keep doing that if my income isn't rising with inflation? I thought Dave was smarter than this.
I love when well to do people tell everyone higher prices won't really hurt them. Yeah then why am I barely making it and spending 3xs as much for the same grocies (no chips, processed foods or deserts I'm on keto) than I was a few months ago. Sorry I can't agree on this one.
Dave, a lot of people simply don't have the resources to absorb a 100% increase in fuel prices and a 50% increase in food prices. Their paycheck didn't go up that much. I agree with a lot of what you say, but you're wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy out of touch on this one.
It their paycheck didn't go up that much, it may be time to add a second paycheck. You literally can't walk down a single block with businesses on it without finding a place that's desperate to hire people.
Not the best take from Dave here. It's looking more and more like time is passing him by. May be time to retire to the grandkids and let people who have a better grasp of 21st century issues take the reins. You can almost see his co-hosts cringe at some of his comments.
But mean tweets is gone, happy now people. Has anyone looked at your 401k? Not retiring anytime soon. Dave is trying to make it less than it is. It's bad people wake up.
@@brettdavidson3866 I no longer wish to have great wealth and am satisfied with enough. Truly God supplies all my needs and more. If I had a lot of money I might forget His goodness and become haughty. I think that happens to a lot of folks. I do not have any ill wishes toward Dave Ramsey, but in the blink of an eye every thing he has could be taken from him.
Two homes paid off, personal residence and a rental. In full retirement with three income streams. Yet inflation is definitely effecting us, supply chain issues effecting us. Glad we are debt free, but rest of our family is not necessarily debt free. And we are watching our 401Ks whittle away. Can’t blame Fox News for that.
don't watch the news. I go out and try to buy a car...there aren't any to purchase, I go out to buy my food it's more expensive than usual. Inflation is real and poor people can't just fix their budget when there is not enough budget. Ramsey and co are not talking to working class people, the audience they are talking to are financially blessed individuals. Get outta here, your advice is useless.
Exactly. I don’t watch it either, yet I saw my monthly expenses go up about $300 and they are still climbing… I don’t care if the media is awful, what I care about is how much higher this is going to go? Some of us are running out of room….
Dave missed this one badly. I have a few rental properties and I’m 70% disabled through the VA so I AM FINE, but I’m genuinely terrified for people with tons of consumer debt, kids, student debt, etc. This is reality it’s not politics.
We’re in danger Dave. It’s not a right and left thing. We have got to de corporatize and become “local” again. Self sufficient and independent is where it’s at. I’m 52 as of this July. Ive been working since I was 8-9 years old in one form or another. I purchased my 1st pastureland when was 14 and had 200 acres and cattle by the time I graduated college. I had a 12 year active duty obligation to fulfill and I banked / invested every paycheck, living on what I made flight instructing on the side. 21 years at a major airline, and we lived on the pay of a baggage handler, not a pilot, developed a big farm, reinvested everything back in to it. Why? Because I’ve been around this world a few times, from a young Lance Corporal putting his way through college as a Marine enlisted reservist who was called to serve in Desert Storm, to flying air support for Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, the ONE thing I know is that the only TRULY happy man is the one who knows for sure where the meals for family are coming from because he has the knowledge and the means to insure their well being and nourishment. Wealth isn’t money! It’s peace of mind! I know of goat herders who are richer men than even Dave Ramsey! I serve my community, I am LOCAL, I am part of a tight knit group of people I’ve collected over decades who get it. That is wealth. The banks could close tomorrow, the grocery store shelves could be empty, and it would barely be a bump in the road. THAT IS REAL WEALTH.
Good for you--and being self sufficient is a good thing, if you can do it. That's also true wealth because you make your own food in such a case. Having your own garden and raising your own meat is hard physical work, however, that most modern people aren't strong enough to do. Young people could toughen up to it, but I don't know about the rest of the population. If things get bad enough, we may all have to readjust our lives and it's not going to feel too good since most of us are so spoiled.
Dave, inflation may not destroy YOUR life, you're a gazillionaire, but I'm not and I feel it when prices go up. If we get Weimar hyper-inflation even you may feel that.
hello thermal. you are right of course. i am worried. help me out; what do you think the chances of that type of inflation in todays USA are? thanks for your thoughts.
@@overflow1789 Honest question - not trolling - wouldn't that make their assets worth a larger number that is just worth less? Kind of evening out their physical asset gains? i.e. If a million then is only worth what a 100k is now, a million dollar house isn't as impressive. It would cause wages to skyrocket and in a decade the fast food worker would live next you. Now you're not "rich" anymore.
Finally a comment section where people woke up and see Dave for who he really is. An out of touch with reality old coot who makes fun of his own listeners constantly yet they keep coming back.
Dave it's going to get realllll nasty, all the crazy spending since Summer of 2020, defaulting cards, food prices sky rocketing, fuel skyrocketing, people not paying off cards, this is going to get real bad.
has dave gone grocery shopping lately? has he bought fast food? has he done anything with money a normal US citizen does? if so, how is he sitting there saying these things? what??????
Instead of feeding into the fear, I took control and cut $250 out of my budget on Friday... Amazon prime canceled, Netflix canceled, silly yard fertilization canceled, pedicures canceled I can do those myself, monthly car wash canceled... We have a lot more control than we think, thanks Dave for keeping us honest!
Take a look in the next Wal-Mart, planet fitness, rest stop parking lot your in at night. Some of those people aren't going home they are home. Most of those people have jobs. Its getting worse cancelling subscriptions won't save everybody.
@@djpuplex there is a labor shortage. If you can't find a job that will pay a living wage then you need to take a serious look in the mirror and ask why you don't have the skills or motivation to do so.
Yes Dave, because a better mindset can somehow stop my rent and food expenses from getting TRIPLED through no fault of my own. Obviously, having to decide whether to eat or pay rent is all in our heads. Must be nice to have hundreds of millions and start lecturing the working poor on what we’re doing wrong.
If your rent and food expenses are tripled... time to get a new job in a new place and move, because that has happened almost no where in the western world. Deciding not to move would, in fact, be your own fault.
@@michael567jober Its actually a fair argument generally speaking. Increased wages can create a upward wage-price spiral that makes inflation worse, which makes ppl want to get paid more, which makes inflation worse etc etc. Tech advances is deflationary, so if no raises are ever given you will generally pay less for the same product. IE: when flat screens came out they were like $15k, now they are $150 for example. The problem with giving raises because of inflation is it hurts the little guy most.
1-what happened between Fox News and Dave? Didn’t he use to have a segment on Fox? 2-Who is Christina? 3-Inflation won’t kill. It’s the combination of inflation with other things (like low wages, high rents, terrible diet and health, lack of family support, lack of mental health support, poor medical care) that will kill you or make you feel like you’d be better off dead.
I just submitted an application for one of the insurances that you recommend, but as I watch my gas budget double, I’m not sure I can afford it anymore. As a single person in a high cost area, it is hitting me hard.
Mr Ramsey it's really bad when you go to grocery store and have to buy reduced price meat & vegetables. Eggs & milk are outrageous and the items that are "reasonably" priced are smaller by weight than what they used to be a year ago. Rent is high, car prices are high, used car prices are high. Most people are not reading these articles that you speak of. They just can't make ends meet.
I really trusted Dave here when he told me not to worry about inflation. I figured it would be a couple cents here, a couple there. But I guess he is just like every other out of touch multimillionaire. It just doesn’t affect him when he’s paying $5.89 a gallon at the tank and eggs are $7 a dozen and bread is $6 a loaf. A bag of 8 regular azz Granny Smith apples at Wally World was over $13 yesterday. I’m just at a loss for words, man. It sucks.

Hmm, we are old, we bought our first home in 1977. Interest rate was 12%. Now that was inflation! We aren't there, yet, hope it doesn't get there.
No.. but it boils my blood when MULTI-MILLIONARES DO
High interest rates like that meant institutions weren’t buying thousands of homes at a time driving up prices. Also, the median household income to median home cost was not so out of whack. It wasn’t so bad. Evidenced by the fact that boomers had about 20% more real wealth by the age of 30 than millennials have, now with an average age of actually about 34.

Sorry Dave you are wrong. Inflation will decimate so much of the u.s. population in terms of their spending capabilities and ability to support their families. I am wealthy not as wealthy As You Are. It will not affect you but it will affect those who now pay twice as much for food each week. This is the most insensitive and unrespectful of all the Ramsey shows
Ramsey is dead wrong. Stagflation with 30 trillion dollar debt is nothing to scoff at
Keynesian economics, decrease inflation by lowering demand, raise interest rates and unemployment.
2.5 million people getting laid off will be bad for them.
My house is paid for. I have no debts. I have a nice amount saved up. I'm OK...and yet, the inflation rate is still destroying everything around me. Not to mention the massive lack of supplies across the board.
It's pretty horrendous that Dave just "poo poos" the destruction of the middle class.
Mortgages don’t change with inflation unless you have a variable rate which would be dumb so have your mortgage paid off does help with inflation
My mortgage changes with my property taxes. They go up every year, but a lot right now due to home valuations.
Your "nice amount saved up" is becoming more worthless by the hour.
You are blessed, no debts including your mortgage and you complaining about inflation. How's is inflation effecting your life around you?

Is it annoying? Yes. But it’s not a big deal to the point where it changes the standard of living. Dave is right.
I disagree... Inflation can very well "kill" people who don't make much money to begin with. 😔 Sure, some people may say: "Well, just get a higher-paying job then!" Well, for some people it's just not as easy as snapping your fingers. Plus, if everyone got the 100K jobs, who's going to be doing the "lower income" jobs then? Huh? I mean, people just need to admit that inflation is out of control these days, and this country can't continue to keep going on like this.
You cannot continue to raise prices across the country and yet not raise the income level (I'm not talking about just raising minimum wage 🙄) so that people's incomes are commiserate with the area in which they live so that they can comfortably live. It's just not sustainable in the long run.
Idk why people don't see this. I feel like we are going to see the biggest economic downturn in decades if we're not careful. 😥
You're exactly right. People always want to criticize low wage workers, without realizing that the services they provide are the backbone of our country. The same goes for immigrants. Without them, entire industries would be wiped out, and not just the agricultural industry that comes to mind when people think of immigrants. I work for a medical device company in Minnesota and easily 95% of our workforce are immigrants. Without them, we wouldn't have the lifesaving products we all need.
Agreed, incomes are catching up in certain industries, but not all. Inflation affects everyone regardless of what type of business they work in. (Also just FYI, it's "commensurate". Commiserate means to express sympathy or empathize with, not to match in size or value. 😉)

I don't think this has anything to do with anyone watching the news. The NEWS didn't tell me that my rent, gasoline, car insurance, food, natural gas, laundromat, car wash, Netflix, and literally every other expense I've encountered has gone up drastically within a small window of a few months. I SAW them all with my own eyes when I went to pay for them and the cost was suddenly higher, and in some cases doubled.
I don't think anyone is going overboard on news binging here. It is just our everyday reality at the moment, and it is drastically affecting people.

21 years at a major airline, and we lived on the pay of a baggage handler, not a pilot, developed a big farm, reinvested everything back in to it.
Why? Because I’ve been around this world a few times, from a young Lance Corporal putting his way through college as a Marine enlisted reservist who was called to serve in Desert Storm, to flying air support for Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan, the ONE thing I know is that the only TRULY happy man is the one who knows for sure where the meals for family are coming from because he has the knowledge and the means to insure their well being and nourishment. Wealth isn’t money! It’s peace of mind! I know of goat herders who are richer men than even Dave Ramsey!

Good for you--and being self sufficient is a good thing, if you can do it. That's also true wealth because you make your own food in such a case.

Young people could toughen up to it, but I don't know about the rest of the population. If things get bad enough, we may all have to readjust our lives and it's not going to feel too good since most of us are so spoiled.
