I created a budget to pay a round figure each month, plus any interest accrued on the balance of the previous month, as well as purchases made during it. The key was staying the course. As long as I continue to stay the course, my magic number of monthly payments to being credit card debt free is down to a maximum of 9!

@@sorrygtfo I've heard it before. People get so focused on when they get added to the call that when Dave calls out their name, they respond with their own name. Kinda goofy but it does happen with these shows.

I love Dave

You got this! Follow Dave's concept! Just do it. ❤❤❤

It's sad that someone else must tell you those words so you can understand that you are in a bad financial situation and you must put yourself in a strict decision not to spend and save money .This is what WE OURSELVES MUST THINK not beg someone else help us .

I’m in the EXACT same situation.

Got to respect her for being honest.

I ❤ Dave No Matter What it Takes

private school 🤣

It's a whole mental thing, to pay off debt. To not use cc's unless its dire. Something is on sale and too good to be true purchase and you buy it, thinking how much you have saved. BUT training the mind to think that that purchase is just going to put you that much more into debt. To imagine the numbers in your bank account going up and the numbers of your cc balances going down...every single time you want to buy something. Its really nice when you change like that, when you look at things as a financial burden rather than a must have.

😂😂😂😂 Dave a real one

She's living on uber eats a half dozen times a week guaranteed!!!

@@taylorsmith9629 There's absolutely no way with her solid income and low monthly expenses that she somehow gained enormous debt and is obviously spending even more than she makes. Americans love spending money on things absolutely unnecessary because we live in an extremely privileged society where the average adult has lots of spending money on their hands, even if it's borrowing money.

$27k is child’s play. You can’t handle that?!

Poor lady. Hope she gets out of it . I’m kind of in the same mess but no kid . Been in cc debt since I was 18 and I’m 46 with nothing saved . I pay all my bills but the interest just eats me alive

I got one little collections and here I am obsessed with Ramsey lol

450 for utilities??? Wow

I thought the same thing. That’s way too high or she’s exaggerating. What’s she doing, leaving the water, lights, and stove on all day?

Dave really didn’t want to anger many of his listeners and tell this mom if you’re swimming in debt you can’t afford private school for your kids. Public school for a couple of years until you get out of debt then private if you can afford it.

I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Weird segment. Dave is all excited and fired up and the caller sounds half asleep.

Dear Ramsey, your encouragement words make my day. You have no idea how they inspire people around the world. Thank you, may god bless you. Amen

What a cake walk of a “problem” 🙄

I started watching Dave's videos after getting into a mess with credit cards, and it really does work, after a year or so my life started to change and I was in control of my money, financial freedom is an amazing feeling, it really is. I have savings for the first time in my life, but don't get me wrong it is fu**ing hard work at first, the self discipline involved is on the highest level.

After watching Dave, had about 6k in cc debt paid it all off. I have 7k left in personal loan, I need that gone, stopped everything and I am going to kick that pl to 0, I have paid 1k in interest so far.

I wonder if there is a way to revisit these people and see how many followed through the baby steps.

So I'm $200k 😂 law school debt and im not a lawyer... 27k hahaha

Yikes and I’m sweating buckets over here with 60k nvm lol

In a lot of these calls, I get the feeling we're hearing about HALF the story.

Do not stop retirement.

Me too! Need Uncle Dave to set me straight! 😂

I had more than that. I got a second job and worked my butt off to pay it off. It was HARD!!! It was such torture that I will never get in that mess again. It took big payments or it didn't look like it was budging. $200 a month won't cut it.

Before you make a big financial decision, think, "What would Dave Do?" lol

Papa Dave. ❤ the Dad I wish I had!

💀💀☠️$10 dollars left she has no budget

I have about the same, funded our wedding however all the cards are on 0% interest for 18months and I have over 100k in total line available, so still under 30% utilization.

Dave is funny 😂

That’s wonderful! 😂

I’ve had a credit card for 9 years now. I’ve never spent a penny on interest. The bank pays me to use the credit card with cash back bonuses.

DR - This is my half time speech and you are behind:).

Whats the name of the budgeting app they're talking about?

Odd that he didn't say "Yea" or "Nay" on the private school. That's a big expense, and he neither told her to take her son out of private school or leave him in. I really wanted to hear his opinion on that one.

Same here. “Pull the kid put of private school” should have been one of the first pieces of advice to come out of Dave Ramsey’s mouth.

Depends on if you value some of the most important developmental years of your child over some credit card debt that barely matters in her situation. Public schools can be horrible places to send you kids depending on the school
