Sure you can pay off the debt a bit sooner but you also lose out on the future value of that money. Depends what your long term goals are anyway.

🎆Shout out to Chase🎆 kicking the addiction AND getting serious and creative in paying down his debts! 😁

Lost my little brother to an OD and this call just put a huge smile on my face. Love hearing stories of people overcoming addictions and being open about it. That’s awesome! Doing this debt free journey will only bring even more freedom & peace to your life. Look forward to seeing the debt free scream!

So happy for him. Nothing feels better in life than beating a bad addiction.

Love his empathy

The baby steps to getting to the baby steps was a great approach here. I do think the emotional Triumph of paying off those couple of debts and realizing there was no negative to that will carry him forward.

Saving is not so easy especially when you always have needs for money, best to multiply your incomes via investments. I believe the need for creating multiple sources of incomes cannot be overstated

This is only Dave Ramsey Show i've teared up on. So proud of this young man! 🙏

"I want you to get the high...oh, that's a bad choice of words." 😂 What a wonderful young man. One of my favourite callers. I truly hope he continues to do well.

I'm glad u broke the addiction not easy to beat it. I'm glad u change ur life around. I think he dealing with fear rightfully so we all face it rather we admit it or not. I'm glad he called Dave Ramsey show and they help him.

Breaking one of the hardest addictions and working one of the toughest jobs, props to this guy!

What a fantastic story, Chase! I am proud of you overcoming that addiction and now you called in to change your financial freedom!!

That war between logic and peace of mind! You know what you need to do but it’s not that easy

See, here’s a call with an actually helpful outcome. The two small problems can be made to go away with only a fraction of his cash. The car can be reconfigured due to his circumstances to make things easier overall at a very low cash cost. Now he has good cash savings left and is left with just the student debt, which is a long term issue that deserves a long term plan, not a panic move,

Congratulations chase. In getting clean you did something significantly more difficult than becoming debt free. Awesome story.

Wow - what a great guy. Would love to hear a follow up with him in a year - or for him to give advice to others.

Best call ever! I hope we do hear his debt free scream and later his story of becoming a millionaire.

Congratulations on doing so well, it takes huge amounts of strength to do what he has done and is doing now. This guy is going to be a success story and will be able to help others in the future! He has kicked a habit that sadly not many people do. His fear and doubts will disappear when he pays off that first debt and will turn into determination and self empowerment and he will never look back! God bless this guy!

He's never this nice to people from California, he must be in a good mood

I have a financial famine mindset too. No vices though. I grew up poor and I'm never going back.

Honestly, if having a larger cushion makes him feel safe, it’s not a bad use of savings. Same reason I have like a year’s supply of rice in my kitchen and garage and basement.

The safety is an illusion though when he got debts with interest on them. It's purely based on feelings. The extra rice you have is not an illusion. It's real safety.

Chase, we too are struggling with the "terror of being broke". Although our tribulations are very different, you spoke for hubby and I with this call. WE DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO BEING BROKE. Thank you so much for this call, and Bless you.

We are living in unusual times. What happens if his rent goes up a lot? Mine went up $300 a month. His income is not regular. This is not a steady income. He is afraid because he knows this. Dave did not take into account that this is not a salary income. Dave doesn’t feel it in his gut anymore. I’m self employed, and I would worry about this guy if he follows Dave’s advice. Emergency funds are very important now. Inflation is not going away soon.

Brother, you are Great, keep this up, don't go back. Blessings for kicking the habit !!!

Excellent!!! So proud of him. God bless him.

Amazing advice, Dave. Proud of the caller! 👍

Not true. Even if you are in $84k in debt, there is security in carrying $15k to keep the wolf at the door away. It helps immediate while the rest of the debt is on hold.

I agree. When I was getting out of debt, if I had spent all my savings down to $1000 to pay off debt I would have been unable to fix my car when a repair came up. Having only $1000 requires you to be very lucky for a long time. And he came up with that $1000 baby step about 30 years ago, refusing to adjust it for inflation.

Congrats Chase, you have no idea how many people you have inspired!

Making 90k yearly it should be easy puzzle to pay off his debt. His biggest enemy is the drugs and hopefully he stay clean and never look back.

Very encouraging call

“I want you to get the ‘high’…” *inserts foot in mouth* 🥴😅

I’d be more afraid of living in LA. He’s probably paying like $2k a month in rent.

Anyone who doubts Dave's character should just listen to clips like this.

Yes it’s scary to use the savings to pay our debts but it’s because we are so use to having debts that now it’s our norm but that doesn’t have to be our forever reality.

This is such great advice! Dave Ramsey's philosophy is so inspirational and so true (because it has its basis in the Bible!!) I exactly feel so empowered by doing the baby steps!! 🎉🎉😊

Congrats to you Chase! Drugs are such a plaque on society. Such a waste of a life not to get sober

I’m part of the fire movement I don’t fallow the Dave Ramsey plan . Having said that Dave gives excellent advice… keep giving great advice … thanks

Your sobriety is the most freedom you will ever experience. It is also the most difficult problem life will throw at you. If you can conquer your addictions and fight them off every day, getting out of debt will be a drop in the bucket. Take a deep breath, realize that God didn’t bring you through the brink of death in your addiction…. Just to lose you to debt. You got this!

He only has to fear losing himself

The irony in Dave using the word high 😅😂

It puts more in my pocket to keep my student loan and put more money toward investments due to this interest freeze, the small size of the loan, my monthly budget, and the possibility of it being cancelled. I can spare 20% in interest before paying it off it in full so that just makes sense to me🤷‍♂️ most ppl would’ve recommended that I wait until after college to invest as well but that was one of the most beneficial decisions that I’ve made.

Get Chase back on the home when he’s out of debt. What an inspiration!!!! ❤

Chase you're a champ!
