*Ads a $280 donation “They’re over budget by $85 so we HAVE to get that budget accurate, and I’ll be honest, there’s not a lot of places right here I would cut” Literally just an out of touch multimillionaire that thinks somebody who’s barely scraping by should donate 10% of their income. Unbelievable.

I agreed. I believe in giving but 10% is a lot for someone who lives paycheck by paycheck. You need to help other people first for giving 10% but who will help you then. I think you can start giving 10% when you are financially stable first. In the meantime, you can donate $10, $20 whatever amount you can afford. Also giving doesn't need to be a form of money. You can help your community in other ways, help in shelter service, volunteer in community, etc. For this example 10% is $280 a month -> $280×12 = $3,360. That's a lot for the whole year and this family can use this money to save up for emergency fund, etc. I am sorry her logic doesn't make sense for the 10% giving. We don't even pay the same tax rate for different income.. Why we need to pay the same giving % for the poor and the rich.

This isn’t how you’d budget $3200 like the title suggests. You had to increase their income to pay off debts. Go back to the 2800 they originally had and show how you’d budget $2800 and free up margin so they can pay off debts with their current income like you said you was going to do in the introduction. Have them go to Aldi to save on groceries, have them cut subscriptions so basically they are on utilities, transportation, and food until they can pay off debts. If you wanted to show her gazelle intensity and the debt snowball you could’ve titled your video differently so it fit with your presentation. I spend less than $2600 monthly, it can be done!

all the ramsey personalities are big on the continuous giving. you could be drowning in 500k in debt and they would still tell you to budget in giving every month. I am with you, I dont agree on this approach. Save yourself before you want to save others. I get where they come from, but it doesnt make sense from a logisitical approach. "We want you to give every month, but we also want you to not save anything for retirement and work 6 extra jobs to pay off your debt sooner"

This really makes me angry. Before she added$280 for giving they had almost $200 extra and their budget which they could use for their emergency fund or to start paying down their debt. It's sad that Ramsey solutions has to stick to their talking points rather than making budgets flexible to fit people

I did suggest Aldi in my post, there are other ways to save on groceries. I don’t have a problem with you picking up a side hustle or another job to increase your income, I just felt that the presentation could’ve been titled differently since technically she never budgeted $3200 a month. She started at your $2800 and then went to $3300 after she had husband bringing home money from his business. In the introduction she said the budgeting was going to be until he could, then she went in and added it right away, defeating the whole title and purpose of the presentation. Best wishes in your job search, hope you can find more income as you go gazelle on your debt. Maybe the title could’ve been “Go Gazelle on Your Debt Snowball” instead. I listen to Ramsey and I’m on Baby Step number 7 and I still spend less than 2600 a month. Last month I was barely over 2000. We spent less than $800 on groceries at Aldi for a family of 5 and we ate well!

Thank you for being vulnerable and letting Rachel "play" with your budget on SM. Best of luck to you in your debt free journey.

The adding income thing is important, but I don’t think it’s helpful to just go “here, we’re gonna add in X”. Finding a side hustle is difficult, same with finding a job with higher income. We gotta deal with what we got. Even if this budget isn’t meant for long term, should maybe at least say “for the next X months till we find a new job”. 🤷

That's a no to giving. You can be a good person and not give monetarily

I love the budgeting videos but giving 10% with that income and the amount of debt they have doesn’t make sense.

Charity begins at home, they need to keep that 10% to help pay their debt.

If you expect them to give 10% every month, the giving needs to go up with each increase in income - you completely left that out 😮

"How I would budget $2800 a month" "I wouldn't"

I would not give if you can’t afford it. I would give max $10 a month. That’ll leave you money to pay off your debt. Cancel subscription

I wish these videos excluded adding the fictitious additional income to the budgets. Not everyone can make additional income…

Giving 10% with this income is just way too much at this point. Try 2% or something!

I usually love these videos but honestly this was really disappointing.

I’m totally a big Ramsey fan but I do agree with these comments. They both could definitely be working more but the giving almost $300 in such a time of need is s bit much

This is very interesting because I have similar income but it seems like the answer for the Ramsey family is always to get another job and that's not always possible. I'm on disability and I'm almost 63 years old so working a job isn't an option for me. I would prefer that you didn't add extra income from jobs to budget reviews like this to see what other suggestions you would have. That being said I do agree with the giving because I believe that giving releases God's blessings on us I personally have done that but I have slacked off and it hurts my soul little bit!

If I was advising this couple I would tell them to cut out there giving for a while that's $280 that they can put and beef up their miscellaneous or emergency fund without having to go out and get another job

Totally agreed. How can you help others when you cannot help yourself? You giving 10% to help others then who will help you. Also giving doesn't need to be a form of money.

I don't understand why they had to give 10% which put them over the budget. Couldn't they just stop for a little while or give $10? What if the husband can't put anymore towards the income because it's all going into his business? What if they are both putting more time in the business? A side hustle is tiring and what if they have a lot of kids? I mean come on. Believe me... most side jobs aren't paying $20 an hour and she didn't account for the taxes in the side hustle which would have lowered the money they would gotten.

This is exactly what I’m thinking this I have about the same income and there is nothing else I can cut so now I realize I HAVE to increase my income no other way at the moment 😢

Why tell them to give money when they are so tight.

Her budget is pretty lean. Maybe she could find a cheaper internet service provider. They are going to have to increase their income. I would have added a deadline for the gym to turn a profit or else the husband needs to get a full time job. That’s the biggest issue. There are so many chain type gyms that mom and pop gyms don’t often survive. Most do better doing personal training as a good side hustle with no overhead. Do it at the client’s home or a room in your home.

Where can we get the budgeting sheet? :)

I was hoping for some real help when I seen the title...I'm 63 working nights cleaning, getting a second job at 20 dollar an hour isn't a possibility for me, and I wont use an app that has access to my bank account, I was hoping for something not using that every dollar app. Can you please do another video working this budget just using $2800 a month without all the "what if's" or your company app.

post your numbers and we (folks in the comments) can try to chime in to help you. but this is how i would break down the numbers that rachel had. Income $2600 -756 mortgage - electricity $250 (start unplugging unused items, keep thermostat 72 -74 degrees. it will reduce this bill, i promise) -97 internet -140 fuel (start using apps like "upstart" to earn points and that could turn into dollars) -50 Maintenance/repairs for home and vehicle (you need this catagory because you have oil changes, brakes, possibly home items to purchase) -10 phone -12 subscriptions -40 misc (im guessing this is for household toiletries, dish soap, laundry, etc) -50 doctor visits -95 health insurance (is this from marketplace insurance? look up what the cost would be on there.) -82 life insurance (can this be gotten for cheaper?) -185 vehicle insurance (can this be gotten for cheaper?) -32 apple -114 loft -347 consumer loan -80 chase -100 giving *my math is leaving 160 remaining, this is to be used towards debt if nothing wonky happens during the month.

Americans waste 40% off food on avg a year. If you started to write the food down that is wasted each week/ month in your household. You can base your food budget on what you actually eat and not what you think you want to buy. Might not work for everyone but can help some people cut their food bills down. Freezing fresh produce is a great way to cut down on waste

That’s so silly - they simply can’t afford to give $280 You literally added some more money , instead working w/ what they presented to you - meh

I was expecting you would make a budget based on the $2800 as it currently is and not talk about what might happen in the future. Increasing income might not be realistic for everyone. This is contradictory to "The 7 Baby Steps" which says to give at step 7 after paying off debt, saving 3-6 months, investing, saving for college, and paying off the house. I don't think it's financially responsible to give $280 when $18,000 in debt. To give a little is fine or give with time, but not at that proportion, as you said it's already a slim budget. What's your reasoning behind giving such a high amount? However, I do believe this is a great video of what they should work toward, and is inspiring to show what they could have in the future.

I would love to see how Ramsey Solutions budgets social security checks for elderly people in poverty who cannot physically go back to work.

Heres the giving hack: Find someone you work with that makes the same as you and is also drowing in debt, then give each other $280 a month (10%) as your charity. Boom, got your giving covered and no longer in the red.

Maybe she will win the lotto also.

I agree with everyone else about 10% giving being too high for this scenario. I also want to point out the additional $140 for selling household items isn't a guarantee to help balance this budget every month. Some months will be higher, others are going to be lower, some months will end with payments pending, etc. and at a certain point (if we're following Dave's old school tactics) there won't be anything left to list. To be more realistic, that monthly income should be less than 2700. 😕

give to the poor, give them a blanket , some food etc until you get in a better place financially. You are still giving or u can always give you time to something or even give out hugs, listening ear etc. give according to where you at

Now I now why I Don’t usually watch these . You usually don’t help .

I wish I could use the every dollar app :(

Okay so how are you able to keep a miscellaneous category that low? Ours is at least $300 and we still go over all the time. For example last month this was our miscellaneous spending: kids bowling birthday party $125, kid lost shoes $50, school pictures $17, license a vehicle $55, hair cut $45, unexpected doctor bill $250.

Personally, I allocate most of those items to other categories.

The birthday party would be a more unexpected item, but if I knew I wanted to do something like that, I'd create a fund for it earlier in the year.

I don't have $250 extra a month to be throwing into that category 😅. Stay strong 💜

I love this series!!!!

I don’t really understand this Rachel you could do much better in a lot of different categories and helping these this couple. Now I understand 10% for the church but if you cannot give to the church because you’re struggling that should be the first thing easily to give up and I know that God would want them to first clean their own house before helping others. It’s similar analogy to first put on your mask before putting on someone else’s mask in an airplane when some emergency happens right you can’t help others and you can’t Help God if you can’t help yourself. No outside of the giving which is 10% of their budget. Their electricity is very high for a less than $800 mortgage home in the area that I live in in the country that’s a very small starter home 800 ft.² I was able to get my electric bill down to about 150. They can definitely do some things around the electricity to lower their bill. Now groceries. $350 I’m sure that two people can budget less than $250. There are multiple ways of doing this one. I would say look at things like Aldi and Costco what people don’t realize is that you can get someone to give you a Costco gift card without being a Costco member that’s a little bit of a hack, but that would save them a lot of money and also budget groceries, if they save another hundred dollars in this category they’re almost at the $500 mark that you were mentioning here these are all low hanging fruit . I don’t know how they have a phone for $10 a month and a random subscription for $12 but I will say again these aren’t needs. This is an emergency they should be putting everything to loans. They shouldn’t be any subscriptions. There shouldn’t be any thing that they don’t need. Fact, if you look at Clark Howard, there are some phone providers that are free now you only get 500 minutes and no text messaging but if you only need a phone to communicate once in a while and you’re in an emergency why not do that that would bring their bill down to zero. I was expecting to see a bit more hacks suggestions, but all this was the first part of this was selling something then again, selling their own product for their budgeting software, and then she didn’t even do anything she didn’t provide any guidance other than increase your income, almost anyone could say that This is very sad … in fact, a lot of the numbers don’t make sense to me why would you have a monthly doctor bill? Does that mean that that’s a debt that she’s paying monthly because that’s not in their debt section here there’s other things in this that make no sense like no money in childcare no money in various other categories that almost everyone has a little bit of budget that they need to put in there so this looks almost like a fake budget that she’s just talking about this fake Anne and then she doesn’t even give Anne any pointers . I mean I can tell anyone oh well you need to pay off your debt maybe you should get a second job that’s easy what’s hard and just like Americans is actually cutting what about rice and beans that her father talks about all the time and this scenario, they should be rice and beans and rice and beans.

you said their budget is slim and have debt. 2800 is not a lot a month. they're in NO postion right now to give away 280. maybe after debt is paid.

Here is the million-dollar question for us Rachel. Hope you can help. We have zero debt. Mortgage paid in full. Newer cars paid in full, no CC debt, no loans, NOTHING. We have a healthy cash savings, SEP IRA, Roth IRA, investment portfolio and a state pension $$ coming in. Household income still at 200K. Here is the problem. We are uncomfortable being comfortable! Raised very poor like so many in America. We sacrificed vacations and many things to be debt free and build our retirement wealth. NOW it's so hard to spend our money. I agonize over buying anything over $300.00 anymore because we have lived being frugal most of the time. Afraid of being poor again ALWAYS ways in my mind when purchasing things. Even though we can pay cash for just about anything we may want and not even hurt us at all. How do we now get passed this mindset of its okay now to spend what you have saved and earn still. I am 59 and wife is 62. Any help would be great on how to enjoy it now. What steps to help change that mind set Rachel. You may share this question and answer if you like on your show because I know there has to be others out their just like us.

I could be totally wrong but I know that the Bible says to donate 10% of your income and if she's using that as the guideline and forcing that onto their budget I think that is not okay. The Lords word does tell us to not owe another and if she has debt then she should solely focus on paying that debt off and once freed from the debt she can begin to donate to her church. They're literally living at the BARE minimum and asking for guidance and adding a whopping $230 to donation is WILD! At least, if you feel so inclined, just start with $10. Some is better than none.

This doesn't help. What if you are in 60's? If your debt, you don't have extra money to give.

Thats the power of your imagination. How do you teach someone to budget on low income... give 10 percent when you cant and work more when her husband cant.... learn what your customers are asking

I think I’m just here for the same opinion. Why give $280, it’s 2024 and I feel like giving would be tipping or something else. Obviously this is just a template no hate, but I just don’t think realistically it is reliable to give $280 a month to church when you have kids or even animals. You could make that money work for you. I like giving but not unnecessarily.

You’re not budgeting what she has just making money come out of nowhere. 😅

The husband brings in zero dollars. She’s saying he needs to bring something in. He can do doordash or Uber on the weekend and make a few extra hundred dollars a month. They can’t make it on just her income with this kind of debt.

Giving definitely is a protective hedge for simple obedience. Too bad everyone wasn't raised with this knowledge. Hopefully one day everyone can understand.

That’s not budgeting for 2800. That’s saying it’s impossible so let’s pretend that actually 2800 isn’t your budget, let’s just add in another 1500 that doesn’t exist! So in fact she budgeted for 4300!! Disappointing, not everyone can have a side hustle…

Not realistic! Do the budget with what they actually are making! This imaginary world thing just makes people feel like something is wrong with them because they aren’t there. It isn’t realistic for most people to just start making more money because they want to. It is a fantasy! So horrible for psychological wellbeing.

Rachel has seen hundreds, if not thousands, of real people come in to Ramsey Solutions to do their debt free screams, and the reality is that most of them, especially the lower income people, had to sacrifice and work long hours for a short season in order to have the margin to pay off their debt. She is not out of touch with reality. She sees it all the time in her line of work! Bottom line, you can't expect to make progress with $2800 a month. If the numbers don't work, change them! :)

Guess what.. people with no debt who are on a fixed income STILL live paycheck to paycheck! You are CRAZY

Income $2600 -756 mortgage - electricity $250 (start unplugging unused items, keep thermostat 72 -74 degrees. it will reduce this bill, i promise) -97 internet -140 fuel (start using apps like "upstart" to earn points and that could turn into dollars) -50 Maintenance/repairs for home and vehicle (you need this catagory because you have oil changes, brakes, possibly home items to purchase) -10 phone -12 subscriptions -40 misc (im guessing this is for household toiletries, dish soap, laundry, etc) -50 doctor visits -95 health insurance (is this from marketplace insurance? look up what the cost would be on there.) -82 life insurance (can this be gotten for cheaper?) -185 vehicle insurance (can this be gotten for cheaper?) -32 apple -114 loft -347 consumer loan -80 chase -100 giving *my math is leaving 160 remaining, this is to be used towards debt if nothing wonky happens during the month.

So you created a 10 minute video.. you put a sponsored ad for 30 seconds made zero changes to the expenses magically added 12 hours of extra work without accounting for taxes… (which means her side hustle would pay more than her job per hour)… and you want $500 from an unprofitable gym driving the family further into debt… like come on just cause you have a radio audience doesn’t mean you don’t put any effort into these videos… that’s pure lazy. No one would even pay you $20 an hour for videos like these Rachel… “bless your heart” Ramsey solutions should stick to creators like George that think through stuff before posting it and don’t work in fantasy land (where a side hustle pays more than your job)

Terrible

Can you do a budget on $1,300 a month

She’ll just add money w/ “what if’s” & turn it into $4K 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am appalled at all of you slamming Rachel for the giving of 10%. As a single mom for many years and as a Christian woman, I found that by tithing 10% even when I felt I didn’t have it to give, God provided with a raise or a bonus and most recently with family members living with me paying rent helps me with my mortgage. Don’t knock til you try it. Oh and I did work 2 sometimes 3 jobs.

Bore off Deb you have no idea what other people are going through. 10% is a ridiculous ask for people on a normal salary with debt to pay off.

For those saying they don’t need to give 10% clearly haven’t read their Bible. The scripture talks about tithing as a commandment and the word tithe means 10%. Tithing is about giving back to God a portion of what He has already given you. It’s about saying “Lord, even though I don’t have much to give, I’m going to trust you to provide my needs.” I have found it to be true that God will definitely supply all of your needs. God bless 😊

Giving $280? I was thinking maybe 50 or something.. Jesus.
