I really want to get in with a financial advisor this year, especially as all markets are hitting highs. I don't want to be too optimistic and end up losing everything.
This isn't the best place to ask if you're really serious, but I'd recommend either stocks or real estate.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment. Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement. .
I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.
Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.
I have always saved and invested roughly 60% of my salary since I began working in 2009, I max out my 401(k), ira, and hsa accounts. I am 50 years old. I'll pass the $4 million threshold this month. I have a 100% investment in Vanguard ETFs and several blue chip equities. Avoiding debt and cutting expenses are my two money-saving secrets. I make passive investments with the help of Cynthia as my FA who manages my portfolio and makes sure I outperform the market.

They might live below their means. Me and my husband do NOT live in Cali however we live at about 60% of our income and after we are done paying off debt we will be able to save the rest. That means we could save over $40k a year. Over several years 100k savings is certainly possible.
Dave sounded so bored with this call, shaking my head. I miss the old Dave where he would be fired up with these kind of calls and he scream “you did it!!! “Come on Dave!
To be fair, I would be too. Some people just call for approval. When it comes to questions like this, if you're serious about it, you go to a financial advisor who will give you tailored advice. Dave Ramsey is tailored for the general public.
Well, he's getting sued left and right ...so that is probably the reason, unfortunately, for him, there's nobody to blame but himself for the lawsuits unless he was just given bad advice by his lawyers which I highly doubt
@@kara2162 He was gearing up for retiring a few years ago. That’s why they started bringing Rachel on the show at first.

He was taking long vacations and touring at one point but now I’m unsure what’s next for this show. But Dave is def either bored or tired.
Kudos to her for being like "I have a ton of money, what do I do?" It's never a bad idea to get some expert advice to get a good idea of what to do with it
Wow congrats! My goal to reach 50 before my 24th birthday, but I'm short of 6gran. Plan to deliver a lot of pizzas this summer on weekends (lol not kidding) :)
I think that’s great! Most people aren’t willing to do “side hustles” even if it means more money all because they wanna “relax.” That’s awesome you’re willing to grind it out 💪 Sorry but if someone is broke or in debt, there shouldn’t be any downtime. In fact, if someone is broke or in debt, their weekends should be the furthest thing from relaxing.
All my debt was paid off and I genuinely had no idea what to do with my money. I was so used to "end of the month to the end of the day" with my money, I was just weirded out with seeing around double my netto salary in the bank. This call makes very much sense.
I welcome this problem into my life, what to do with $100k savings? 🤔 Great job and they discovered Dave this family will build wealth even faster👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m from Algeria (North Africa ) , Life is hard here especially as a middle class in this 3rd world country ,my father has around 350k dollars saved ,and despite the difficulty of our life he never thinks of investing that money or doing something with it but only relies on his normal average salary .. I wanna know what is the best way of using 350k dollars ?? Enlighten me please ?
A good mutual fund. Past performance does not guaranty future results... but long term good mutual funds grow. I have a mutual fund account that got lost. When found it was a mere $350. In 18 years it has grown to $5500. Just monitoring it and keeping track using it as a comparison to other investments. It's gone down a couple of times, but it has overall trended up.
San Diego is a broad general area with plenty of cheap areas that are undesirable. She could have bought back in 08-09 too, which would make more sense.
i saved 150k i put 100k into a term deposit at the highest interest rate, i’m only 19 i don’t know what to do, my term deposit is only 6 months but i think it may be a waste of time because i’m in the highest income tax bracket and have the highest PIR in nz , i was thinking about starting some dividend investments across different dividend kings but im not sure. any advice??
aaah invest the money, don’t piss it away . your young and time is your favor …. so is the 12 k on your car … money is more valuable than debt, especially if u have little debt
Point taken but she does have 120k household income, 6 k emergency fund, college accounts, paid off house - you are correct only 88k and not 100k. feel better:)
Get yourself some FSELX, and broadly ride that Ai wave, while not being as volatile as a single stock. Or get some FXAIX if you just want to follow the S&P 500 with good growth. Or FBGRX for a little more aggressive blue chip growth fund. Remember to set them to reinvest the dividends so it keeps the snowball growing.
i know some people are in such a broke desperate situation they are considering under the table illegal work...its pretty bad ..alot of people have no idea whats going on.
@@maxwelljoshua7804 yes it does when you have something with you. When your broke you get upset but when money comes into your account you have this special smile
What a joke. He's just belittling that woman. He didnt even bother to ask what their APR was on the car. "Nope pay it off, now you got 88k. Nope youre gonna pay your kids tuition. Now you got 60k. Blah blah blah." What if her APR on the car loan is some crazy low 2% or something? Why should she be in a hurry to burn through her capital when she could invest it and make 5-12%? But he didnt even ask. She was calling to find out how to make money off her sizable capital, not immediately lose it all for nothing. I hope this woman went and found a good financial advisor and told this clown to shove it off air. College fund? Ha! Tell those kids to get off their lazy butts and find some scholarships!
@HD-um6yw no need for personal accusations. You know nothing about me. Dont read too much into my whimsical comment on kids getting off their lazy butts. But the fact is, the economy, culture, and workforce arent as straightforward as they were back in your day. Unless youre going for a specialized degree such, as science (particularly engineering), law, or medicine, college is practically useless. Some would even say a scam these days. The reality is though that not everyone is cut out for those professions. So why spend thousands or tens of thousands and several years on a basic degree just to get a low paying job that will take a further several years of work just to make up the cost of the education? There are plenty of high paying careers these days, even technical ones, that dont require a formal education. Maybe a certificate to get your foot in the door. Im not being selfish in suggesting that if a kid shows aptitude and has interest in a higher education, he should have to work for it a little and not just rely on mommy and daddy to buy his way through life. Definitely having some money set aside to help give your kids a headstart is a great thing to do. But my point here is that Ramsey is telling this woman what to do without considering any other factors. Even after she says that they do have a seperate savings for their kids college fund, his attitude is kind of like "well thats not good enough, you need to dump 10k more in there." This guy is a degrading arsehole is really all i was getting at.
Wow, congrats to that lady! Saving up to $100k isn't an easy thing to do, especially since she has two kids! I'd take out $20k and put that into Stocks and Crypto's. I'd still be working full time if I was her, considering that $100k isn't enough to retire on these day. At least that's living financially independently.
I’m guessing a windfall/inheritance she didn’t mention. I do not believe they paid for their SD home on 120k with two kids and saved 100g plus other savings accounts. If they’re that good with their own money, she wouldn’t be calling nor would she owe 12g on a car. In any case, good or them!
I like some if this advice. Maxing out your 401k is a good start. This is way too conservative for investing. You don't need to pay cash for everything. It is okay to finance and have positive cash flow. There are more investments than real estate and mutual funds. Overall so conservative that they will not be able to grow their cash pile very much.
Wow these calls just amaze me sometimes!! She has $100k and has no idea 🤷♀️ what to do with it ??!! She still has $12k owing on her car !! Pay that off duh 🙄!! Like Dave says she needs an emergency fully funded which she doesn’t seem to have and the rest put to retirement or savings !! Duh 🙄 !! This is not rocket science people !!
Why mutual funds tho? I'm not paying anybody to put my money in their portfolio just for them to make bad calls which actually eats your gains (if any lol) in combination with high fees . I rather park my money into ETFs/pick my own securities
It's just outdated advice. He started investing back before ETFs were common and now has so much money from his show and real estate that he doesn't care about the fees.
Most folks who call in are terrible with finances, so having someone guide them into investing would be welcome to most. Plus, I'm sure the Ramsey team gets paid by their Investor Pros for being on their website.
@@annajones9701 85+% of all mutual funds under perform compared to index funds, and the added fees compound on that under performance. Investing in mutual funds is still a good idea, but index funds as a whole are better. You do you, as the saying goes. Personally, I do both, mainly because I just learned about index funds and I'm too lazy/hesitant to move my mutual fund $ into index funds.
Why Ramsey always recommend investing in Mutual Fund , we pay heavy MER on mutual funds an Fees why Consistency paid Dividend stocks not in his recommended list
The only one that says the money doesn’t buy happiness are the broke people ,money buys happiness I never see anybody that has money gram because he needs to be lights gas bills etc.😂😂😂

getting your first six figures is a big deal.... Congratulations !!!
Spammer and most hated
Just made my first six figures this weekend
And it is a amazing feeling I couldn’t breathe and it was all from sports betting
None of these guys have 6 figure bank accounts, all bots.
I’m eating rice and beans watching this. I’m on my way!
Lol I was just eating green beans, baked beans, and left over steak.
You're gonna spend all the money you save on health problems in 40 years
Just eat normal food like any other human being
And torillas huh? I found a mexican!!! Alert! Alert! Jk
@@BK-ks2sf beans are healthy
Good for them. Paid off home, contributing to retirement fund and college fund for the kids, plenty in savings to erase their debt, ready to just build up that best egg. 120k household income isn't that high for San Diego, they're being careful.
Investing is putting money to get more money back from the asset later. Speculating is looking at what the price is doing regardless of the business.
Lately I've been considering setting up an investment account for retirement, I have set asides $400k but somewhere along the line, I get cold feet maybe because I'm a rookie and have no idea what I'm doing, please I could really use some guidelines.
@@geraldvolkovfoley3479 if you want to be a millionaire, have the mindset of the rich, spend less and invest efficiently with guidance of an investment coach. more don't give up your dreams.
@@carolinekellysarin3282 I agree with this, Investment coaching sounds like a great idea, thought about it before but never knew how to go about it, Have you used a coach? what is the experience like?

That’s impressive! How could someone go about getting investment guidance from a coach like that. Would you mind sharing your coach's Info?
$24k is a year's worth of expenses for me. For that, I'm glad!
Right??? Live simple and have a high ceiling
About the same here.
Same.
I spend 20,000 in flights to get to work
2k for me
On $120k a year in San Diego I would have liked to have known where she got the $100k in cash from and how did they pay off their home.
Exactly!!
Probably had roomates and put that to paying it down.
They might live below their means. Me and my husband do NOT live in Cali however we live at about 60% of our income and after we are done paying off debt we will be able to save the rest. That means we could save over $40k a year. Over several years 100k savings is certainly possible.
It does feel like they were given it, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Definatey some form of inheritance
Dave sounded so bored with this call, shaking my head. I miss the old Dave where he would be fired up with these kind of calls and he scream “you did it!!! “Come on Dave!
He seems over it. He should quit before he reallly hates his job.
To be fair, I would be too. Some people just call for approval. When it comes to questions like this, if you're serious about it, you go to a financial advisor who will give you tailored advice. Dave Ramsey is tailored for the general public.
Well, he's getting sued left and right ...so that is probably the reason, unfortunately, for him, there's nobody to blame but himself for the lawsuits unless he was just given bad advice by his lawyers which I highly doubt
When you keep repeating the same script for every call for years, it gets old
@@kara2162 He was gearing up for retiring a few years ago. That’s why they started bringing Rachel on the show at first. But Rachel couldn’t really keep the audience engaged by herself so that’s why we have all the other men on the show now. It’s a shame Chris left but I’m unsure why Dave hasn’t left yet. He was taking long vacations and touring at one point but now I’m unsure what’s next for this show. But Dave is def either bored or tired.
Kudos to her for being like "I have a ton of money, what do I do?" It's never a bad idea to get some expert advice to get a good idea of what to do with it
Wow congrats! My goal to reach 50 before my 24th birthday, but I'm short of 6gran. Plan to deliver a lot of pizzas this summer on weekends (lol not kidding) :)
I think that’s great! Most people aren’t willing to do “side hustles” even if it means more money all because they wanna “relax.” That’s awesome you’re willing to grind it out 💪
Sorry but if someone is broke or in debt, there shouldn’t be any downtime. In fact, if someone is broke or in debt, their weekends should be the furthest thing from relaxing.
Howd u get to 44k delivering pizzas? Where else did your money come from? Just curious and maybe I can learn a thing or two
@@SC68170 I work in a medical office but there is no over time, and barely weekend shifts, so need to pick up a side hustle else where
@@Sophie3647s I just want to say congratulations.
This is a “problem” I would LOVE to have
All my debt was paid off and I genuinely had no idea what to do with my money. I was so used to "end of the month to the end of the day" with my money, I was just weirded out with seeing around double my netto salary in the bank. This call makes very much sense.
This kind of information is EXACTLY!!! What I needed and had been looking for. This call is exactly my situation.
Awwwww poor you
Are u single?! 😹😸😻
@@frankrodriguezit no. I’m not
How did you get build wealth? I’m currently stuck, I admire individuals like you and willing to listen
@@procels real estate Sold my home.
Ya sure they have 100k in saving, paid for house in San Diego making $120k a year. Hogwash😂
$100,000. In California, it is milk money. It won't last long b 4 gone.
After going from broke High schooler to joining the military and making enough money, nothing has changed I’m still the same person I was a yr ago.
Nice to hear
I welcome this problem into my life, what to do with $100k savings? 🤔 Great job and they discovered Dave this family will build wealth even faster👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
college funds? it's 2024 college is a joke
I’m from Algeria (North Africa ) ,
Life is hard here especially as a middle class in this 3rd world country ,my father has around 350k dollars saved ,and despite the difficulty of our life he never thinks of investing that money or doing something with it but only relies on his normal average salary ..
I wanna know what is the best way of using 350k dollars ??
Enlighten me please ?
A good mutual fund.
Past performance does not guaranty future results... but long term good mutual funds grow.
I have a mutual fund account that got lost. When found it was a mere $350. In 18 years it has grown to $5500. Just monitoring it and keeping track using it as a comparison to other investments.
It's gone down a couple of times, but it has overall trended up.
Is the S&P 500 a good mutual fund?
Sounds stupid that you think your lost at having hundred thousands dollars. I mean come on. Save it and leave it for your children.
I wanna be lost in $100K🥺😩
I won’t be greedy. I’d be happy with $1000 🤣
So quit talking about it and do it.
$120k income and paid off house in San Diego? Something doesn't add up.
San Diego is a broad general area with plenty of cheap areas that are undesirable. She could have bought back in 08-09 too, which would make more sense.
Well, pretty much anything other than letting it sit around would be better
It's a wonderfull guy to basically tell u that your 100k doesn't help you to built wealth,
i saved 150k i put 100k into a term deposit at the highest interest rate, i’m only 19 i don’t know what to do, my term deposit is only 6 months but i think it may be a waste of time because i’m in the highest income tax bracket and have the highest PIR in nz , i was thinking about starting some dividend investments across different dividend kings but im not sure. any advice??
aaah invest the money, don’t piss it away . your young and time is your favor …. so is the 12 k on your car … money is more valuable than debt, especially if u have little debt
Im 37 with 125k saved and a 250k mortgage. No clue what to do w it
Hopefully, it's at least in a high yield savings.
If she has a $12K car loan, she's only got $88K saved. Uh... DUH!
Point taken but she does have 120k household income, 6 k emergency fund, college accounts, paid off house - you are correct only 88k and not 100k. feel better:)
Deposit 100 k at 5.65% no risk high interest savings account and collec around 500$ amonth
Get yourself some FSELX, and broadly ride that Ai wave, while not being as volatile as a single stock. Or get some FXAIX if you just want to follow the S&P 500 with good growth. Or FBGRX for a little more aggressive blue chip growth fund. Remember to set them to reinvest the dividends so it keeps the snowball growing.
Money doesn’t buy happiness, no money buys nothing.
i know some people are in such a broke desperate situation they are considering under the table illegal work...its pretty bad ..alot of people have no idea whats going on.
Money is just a tool for me.
Money is everything.
Money can buy us happiness
@@maxwelljoshua7804 yes it does when you have something with you. When your broke you get upset but when money comes into your account you have this special smile
That is easy for someone to say when they have never been poor.
What a joke. He's just belittling that woman. He didnt even bother to ask what their APR was on the car. "Nope pay it off, now you got 88k. Nope youre gonna pay your kids tuition. Now you got 60k. Blah blah blah." What if her APR on the car loan is some crazy low 2% or something? Why should she be in a hurry to burn through her capital when she could invest it and make 5-12%? But he didnt even ask. She was calling to find out how to make money off her sizable capital, not immediately lose it all for nothing. I hope this woman went and found a good financial advisor and told this clown to shove it off air. College fund? Ha! Tell those kids to get off their lazy butts and find some scholarships!
@HD-um6yw no need for personal accusations. You know nothing about me. Dont read too much into my whimsical comment on kids getting off their lazy butts. But the fact is, the economy, culture, and workforce arent as straightforward as they were back in your day. Unless youre going for a specialized degree such, as science (particularly engineering), law, or medicine, college is practically useless. Some would even say a scam these days. The reality is though that not everyone is cut out for those professions. So why spend thousands or tens of thousands and several years on a basic degree just to get a low paying job that will take a further several years of work just to make up the cost of the education? There are plenty of high paying careers these days, even technical ones, that dont require a formal education. Maybe a certificate to get your foot in the door. Im not being selfish in suggesting that if a kid shows aptitude and has interest in a higher education, he should have to work for it a little and not just rely on mommy and daddy to buy his way through life. Definitely having some money set aside to help give your kids a headstart is a great thing to do. But my point here is that Ramsey is telling this woman what to do without considering any other factors. Even after she says that they do have a seperate savings for their kids college fund, his attitude is kind of like "well thats not good enough, you need to dump 10k more in there." This guy is a degrading arsehole is really all i was getting at.
Kudos to her
Give me the 100k i know what to do with the 100k
I made 140 K this weekend from sports betting and it is the best feeling ever however I feel just like her idk what to do
stocks or real estate
not easy man. I have the same issue.
Pretty much you can’t do a thing with that money 😮 damn
Put the children up for adoption.😂
You can send them to me I know what to do with em
money wont buy you happiness but it will buy you a boat to sail ride up next to it.
How do you buy real estate mortgage free?😅
Dave Ramsey looks like an upset lesbian
Invest or leave it in saving as emergency fund.
Wow, congrats to that lady! Saving up to $100k isn't an easy thing to do, especially since she has two kids! I'd take out $20k and put that into Stocks and Crypto's. I'd still be working full time if I was her, considering that $100k isn't enough to retire on these day. At least that's living financially independently.
Donate to the homeless in the streets.
Why do I not believe her?
Because you're jealous
@@vicepresidentmikepence889 maybe. Or because she owes 12k on a car and sounds 23. Why would you owe on a car with 100k in liquidity?
I’m guessing a windfall/inheritance she didn’t mention. I do not believe they paid for their SD home on 120k with two kids and saved 100g plus other savings accounts. If they’re that good with their own money, she wouldn’t be calling nor would she owe 12g on a car. In any case, good or them!
@Johnny Five Yep. I live in CA. Prices are brutal in that area.
What's up Meat ???
Sell your home and donate it 😂
Homie said a whole lot of nothing
I like some if this advice. Maxing out your 401k is a good start.
This is way too conservative for investing. You don't need to pay cash for everything. It is okay to finance and have positive cash flow. There are more investments than real estate and mutual funds. Overall so conservative that they will not be able to grow their cash pile very much.
What Dave should have said would be to enter in slowly over the next 12-24 months and if we have a crash, then buy in fast.
Wow these calls just amaze me sometimes!! She has $100k and has no idea 🤷♀️ what to do with it ??!!
She still has $12k owing on her car !! Pay that off duh 🙄!!
Like Dave says she needs an emergency fully funded which she doesn’t seem to have and the rest put to retirement or savings !! Duh 🙄 !!
This is not rocket science people !!
If she has $100k in savings, she definitely has some sort of emergency fund. Unless her monthly burn rate is like $99999 per month....
What is the difference between retirement and savings?
Better find a good use for it before inflation dwindles that down to nothing
I’d rather consider Bitcoin than stocks, not a financial advice tho, research and compare yourself to see what’s the most outperforming asset
when I was new to this show, I didn't ask stupid questions like this.
Why mutual funds tho? I'm not paying anybody to put my money in their portfolio just for them to make bad calls which actually eats your gains (if any lol) in combination with high fees . I rather park my money into ETFs/pick my own securities
It's just outdated advice. He started investing back before ETFs were common and now has so much money from his show and real estate that he doesn't care about the fees.
I agree, i don’t do mutual anything.
Most folks who call in are terrible with finances, so having someone guide them into investing would be welcome to most. Plus, I'm sure the Ramsey team gets paid by their Investor Pros for being on their website.
Some mutual funds are far better, regardless of fees. Some have average 12-14% annual return after fees over 25 plus years. One fund I found had 15.6%
@@annajones9701 85+% of all mutual funds under perform compared to index funds, and the added fees compound on that under performance. Investing in mutual funds is still a good idea, but index funds as a whole are better. You do you, as the saying goes. Personally, I do both, mainly because I just learned about index funds and I'm too lazy/hesitant to move my mutual fund $ into index funds.
Why Ramsey always recommend investing in Mutual Fund , we pay heavy MER on mutual funds an Fees why Consistency paid Dividend stocks not in his recommended list
Mutual funds aren't going to grow your money fast enough. He should recommend starting a business to create tax write offs.
All good. But actually, Dave missed part of baby step 7... Do something fun!
Invest in an index fund
Dave prefers mutual funds 😂 he gets a comission.
The only one that says the money doesn’t buy happiness are the broke people ,money buys happiness I never see anybody that has money gram because he needs to be lights gas bills etc.😂😂😂
Im generous enough with the taxes i pay to social programs that this out of control government forces me to pay into
Money doesn’t buy happiness well neither is Being broke money money money money😂😂😂😂😅
Into a house
Vegas Baby!!!!
But she paid their house already.. that’s like 20 steps ahead..
What about if dont own a home and have the 100k in savings ?
low key flex
That's all that was. House paid for, and household income is about 120K and you have 100K saved. Please miss me with your fake problems or worries. LOL.
It’s Saturday!

A Good Quote, Talk less, do more.
I'm confused. Did he estimate 25k savings for 3-6 month of expenses? I know it's an estimate but isn't that extremely high?
Not in San Diego
@@badbeatbilly8997 paid for house...
it is, 10-15 k is more than enough to emergency fund

Why mutual funds? Index Funds are superior and have been proven.
I know exactly what to do with it
I don’t know what you are gonna do. But I do know, that don’t listen to this old man.
