My husband and I are 26 and 24. We came out of college with $60,000 in debt, and we realized we would never be able to afford our bills and have a kid. We stumbled across Dave Ramsey on complete accident, and we paid off all our debt in 19 months. Now we have a baby on the way AND financial security. Thank you Dave Ramsey!

Question: if you were able to pay off $60,000 in 19 months then why did you think youd never be able to afford bills or a kid? Geez i can afford a kid and it would take me a decade or more to pay off 60 grand..

Love Dave Ramsey and his teachings. This is stuff WORKS. My wife and I paid $50,000 in debt in 18 months (from April 2018 to November 2019). During those 18 months there was lots of sacrifice. I was working 3 jobs and was working 70 to 75 hrs a week. It was so WORTH IT. Now, I only focus on my main job, I work about 40 to 45 hours a week, and I sleep very well :). Because of my hard work, I’m getting ready for a promotion this year. We are in step number 5. In the 24 months that we have been working on this plan, our progress financially and as a married couple, has been so much more than what we have done in 10 years of marriage. I’m 37 years old.

I found Dave not all that long ago and he really got the wheels turning in my head. I cash flowed 100k in tools for work over 6 years and I paid off 47k in debt in a little over 2 years, I got a bit off track due to a workplace injury. Now I am going to work towards saving to purchase a home and my next goal is to have a paid for home before my mid 30s. Dave and his team are a God send!

I want to thank you Dave. My wife and I were in deep financial trouble in the early 1990'S. We bought Financial Peace shortly after it was released and it truly changed our lives. Today due to that book and 7 steps we have been debt free for close to 12 years. And believe me when I say it was NOT easy for us to start the process. NOW No debt, buy our pre-owned cars with cash, use credit cards as cash and can do what we want when we want to do it. What saddens me is that not enough people follow your advise. I have 3 people, 2 family members, i've given your books to over the years that were in deep financial trouble and not one took the advise. They continue to do the wrong things financially. Again, thank you Dave Ramsey.

The baby steps work ... I'm on baby step 3 and it feels good. I come back to this video every time I feel a certain type of way. Thank you Dave and team ! God bless you.

I worked enough overtime last week to cover step 1. Tonight I created a nifty pay off "calendar" to post in my bedroom so it's the first thing I see when I wake up. it's 9 pages (9 different debts) in order from lowest to highest.

My first 2 years I built experience, made 60k and upgraded my license to cdl A with hazmat. Now I work in a union job making 70k and building a pension. I'm still living almost check to check because of stupid spending and trying to be like everyone else and build a credit score to be normal. Well now that changes.

Bulletproof budget. Cut up the credit cards, dont borrow money, and sell your new car (if you bought one). Once you do your budget and start trimming off things you dont need or use you'll see the scales tipping to more money and less Bill's. That's where you start before the baby steps. Good luck my friend

I put him on at breakfast and even while K go to sleep some days it really makes me spend differently. I've got 24k owing... Going down 500 weekly...can't stand looking at it any more... More car payments

You really need to have this course on video in high schools. And colleges. That is where it will have the most effect because time = money.

Life changing advice, really. So simple, yet no one teaches us this in school

I'm so amazed he's unashamed to speak about God and the Bible and if anyone says something against him can't go against his attained wisdom from the Bible and from the fruit of his lifestyle.

Absolutely life-changing plan. We've been doing this for a few years now. BS 2 feels like it takes forever, but we just keep going. I come back to watch this video periodically for motivation. THIS PLAN WORKS.

I found him in my mid 30s and in 4 years my husband and I are from step 1 to step 6 and will be totally free paid off house in 10 to 13 years with retirement funding each year now. Thank you Dave Ramsey!!!

Good luck to everyone! WE CAN DO IT! It's never too late!

I need to find a guru like this who is this intense about weight loss! My finances have never looked better after reading Total Money Makeover!

"Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN 🏃‍♀️. " My first time listening to Mr. Ramsey was at Bishop TD Jakes Mega Feast in Atlanta, GA. In 2005. He had animal planet videos of Gazelles being chased by the Chetah. His seminar was intense! I bought Financial Peace University for $99. I set everything in place. It changed our lives. I never regret the day I made the decision to listen to Mr. Ramsey. His method works! BABY STEPS WORK!

I'm 19 and have 6,000 in debt but luckily I'm already tired of being in debt and I still live free with my parents I plan on spending every penny I earn to clearing my debt

I am so grateful I came across Dave Ramsey. I am learning alot, the first loan of 80k paid off today. Started my emergency fund, and paying off the other loans using the snowball method. Glory to God 🙏

I'm 41 just found about Dave Ramsey because I was helping my son earn a credit for his junior HS year. I wish I would of found him when I was in HS. I guess it's never too late. My 3 boys will be taught his lessons. My husband and I will start now.

This time last year I was $38k in debt. Sold my car, garage sale, quit my job, got a higher paying job. Currently debt free, 12k invested, and looking at buying a house soon.

Im 36 and found this, wished i found this in my 20's..... HOWEVER, now i can teach my kids so they know better and not make the same mistakes I made when i was younger... for those who started "late" is better late than never, at least we can teach our children to be smarter with their finances.

Im seriously going to teach my kids about finances. I really wish they tough me this when i was in school because this is actually a main priority knowing how to manage your money.

Thank you Dave! I feel so inspired to do this now. I heard about Dave like 7 years ago but I couldn’t fully practice it. We saved sometimes and sometimes raised our emergency fund but we didn’t focus enough to get out of debt and because of that we haven’t seen the results we really want. After hearing this video I’m determine to follow every baby step with commitment and focus from now on because there’s no more time and money to waste anymore. We need to get back on track!!! Like Dave said in this video, it’s not his program that fails is US. We’re the ones that free ourselves from the gazelle, not Dave. Now I get it! It’s time to change my behavior with money and start following Dave’s advise carefully and faithfully to see results! 🙌🏻🙏

Life changing in just a few months. Thank you so much! I listen to these videos over and over again.

Michael Kite wow! Amazing

I wish this had been a required class in highschool. I'm 21, don't have any debt yet and I'm working the family cattle ranch beside my father. I'm saving to buy my own place since our ranch doesn't have room for me to grow my herd anymore. I would have gone and put myself in major debt if it had not been for Dave Ramsey and my dad hadn't cautioned me so much against it. I still need to take out a loan for the land, but I'm not doing that until I can pay at least a third to half in cash while maintaining my emergency fund. We've never had much money and I grew up I knowing how to pinch pennies to make the groceries last. I'm so glad I found this man that lays it out plain and simple. The app he designed for budgeting, every dollar, is absolutely amazing.

I’m 18 years old turning 19 in December. I started saving less than a year ago and sometimes work part time jobs and I’ve managed to save about 3.3k. I’m so obsessed with learning about money and finances as much as possible because I don’t want to struggle later in life. I see so many people commenting how they wish they seen this video in their 20s and here I am at 18. I know I’m off to a good start... anyone have any more tips for me on this journey to become financially independent?

I'm 34 and have been following the steps for less than a year. I'm already amazed at what I've been able to accomplish. This is so much more than getting out of debt, Dave's steps are truly the path to building wealth. Keep it simple: keep following his principles. Don't get pulled off the page by friends or family who don't understand what you're doing. The steps work. Keep it up, stay plugged in to these teachings via FB groups, social media, podcasts, etc. You got this! Congratulations

Emily, just posted this comment to another young lady's comment : 'You are so far ahead of your classmates. I've been doing financial planning for forty years, and ended up with plenty of money. The first trick is to start early. You've got that down. Continue to discipline yourself financially, and get the same feeling of well-being by saving money, that other folks get by spending money. As you become more financially curious, spend some time closely considering the process of asset allocation. Will be one of the most important decisions you'll make in your life.' I was in management for a few years. I would do new employee orientation. After I talked about all of the 'company stuff', I told them I was about to talk to them about something that would change their lives. They got all 'wide eyed'. Then I'd spend ten minutes talking a little about the importance of financial planning, including the most important part...START EARLY! You've started way early. Now you've got to maintain, and even build, your financial discipline. If you do that you'll be very financially comfortable at a young age.
