    Retired early with no savings but (by God's mercy only) no debt, and we consider ourselves blessed. We chose to sell our five-bedroom, three-bath home, and buy a mobile home sitting on 23 acres centered in the middle of pine trees. We're on vacation every day so there's no desire or need to vacation elsewhere. Our trust in God has never failed us and you can trust him too. A little is much when God is your Savior.

    I am learning quite a bit. Only if I would have heard of Dave 25 years ago. 🙏🏽 52 year old divorcee, I kept my home, no debt. Unfortunately, I pay $1, 000 in alimony. I was married to someone who didn’t believe in SAVING money and spent way much more than she earned. I was always working hard to provide for my family, but she never appreciated it. I have one goal right now in paying off my mortgage. I hope I am doing the right thing. My interest rate is 2.99%, but I have decided as of next month I will start paying extra to principal to pay it off, so I can retire without a mortgage payment.

My ex went bankrupt and that hurt me for 10 years I had no credit. All while being diagnosed with cancer having two major surgeries, and just having the clothes that I had and my car. So how is that for a sad story, I thought we had it made, our future was secured. I depend on the grace of God.

We budget, we live on less than what I have make, and we will contribute 15% of our income after the debt is paid off. By the time we're 65 we will have 10 million in retirement

    Definitely buy some land to enjoy as a family retreat. The memories will be priceless. Another idea instead of just buying land for grandchildren, set up a trust for them. Invest a set amount, have it worked so they get scholarships to pay for further education in whatever field they want to work in, When the youngest grandchild is, say, 25 years old, divide what is left in the fund evenly amongst all the grandchildren. My grandmother actually did this for her great grandchildren. The 18 great grandchildren each received $25,000 , after a number of them withdrew from the fund - that’s $450,000 total. And the starting amount was around $20,000, invested wisely. 1990 to 202. If you did this for your great grandchildren, then you could also do a gift to each grandchild of a set amount to help them buy a house, etc.

    It's tough for sure. Maybe you can motivate him gradually over time if he is a brick wall. Easier if you share a bank account. Make a savings labeled as Emergency so he can see. Downsize your car so you can move money into it. Make him aware why you are doing it and that it's for you both and your family. Ask him to match your monthly input too. Make a Vacation savings and ask him to match your input there too. Be specific and ask him to move $50 to X account on Y day. Some guys can't break down anything vague into an actionable item. Vacation savings could make him feel good if he likes vacations. Sometimes people mirror their partner's goals and hobbies without realizing it. Best of luck.

    My books will be here today. The three pack with the main book, workbook and baby steps book. I haven’t started anything. My finances are a mess. I just decided I can’t do this anymore. Now to figure out how and what to budget so I can put money to debt then savings. I’m a researcher. I’m not getting anything accomplished but I want to read your books. In the meantime I’m just trying to focus on spending less and finding knowledge. Next month I want to start the budget, track every expense etc and start paying more on debt. At this point still trying to figure out what my budget is so I know what I have. I have the app from your website and I’m filling it in. My expenses are hard reality checks. In a good way. Hope I’m on a good start. Then I will sit my husband down and discuss it with him. He needs to see total plan and results. Not just me having an idea He knows I want too.

    It is difficult to know what he did, but if it’s true he has a decent paying job to cover child support and alimony, six figures. He cut his expenses close to zero by living out of his car and became obsessed with saving and investing. After the Covid drop in the stock market, it’s been roaring forward. To reach a million in four years, he probably did not start at zero and sold all his possessions when homeless saved and invested like crazy. A lot of assumptions 😂

    That's right! Amen and amen! People need to take control of their money. If you want to be a high earner that's your right. Normally people control how much they spend and how much they make. Usually their finances and financial information is not a public affair. As a Christian, I have had businesses and people blatantly play with my money, impose limits on it without legitimate reason, and I feel it is all tied to something satanic or evil. I appreciate videos like this, where its ok to discuss financial growth and gain. I appreciate people that don't make money a male or female issue, but a human means to better living! Thanks be to Dave Ramsey!

I thought the Paycheck Planning would help me get organized but I found myself maintaining both transactions and paycheck planning. I really prefer how simple EveryDay Dollar feels but I found it a bit more work for me. I'm keeping an eye out, though, for when I can switch out of monthly budget. Oh, and also, I made a mistake, and it turns out I can't delete funds. It was a bit driving me crazy having something there I couldn't clean up and organize.

We need to be teaching how to get out of debt and save money for pandemic emergencies. I have $50,000 of debt, while saving for a house to pay for a $500,000 home flat cash. I put $2000 into the debt per month, $1,500 on living expenses and $7,500/month saving for the home. I will be ready to buy my home flat cash January 2025 and I feel good as ever even with $50,000 of debt!

If you had thrown 9500/month at the debt 7 months ago (when you wrote this) if would be gone, and you could be putting 9500 toward your home now.
