    Ramsey's Baby Step is build your $1000 Emergency Fund then Pay off your Debt lowest to highest. Keeping $1000 to the side isn't a bad thing or something that's detrimental to your payments. When you eliminate the "$1000 Emergency" and your car needs repairs or you run out of GAS and payday isn't until Friday and it's Monday, then you have no buffer. I agree with the principal of what you are saying, I just don't think "MOST" people can go bare bones at 0 and not run into any trouble. If you have to use the credit card to get you out of the JAM, it defeats the purpose of doing this. Just my thought.

    What's worked for me is having a $2500 emergency savings in place first. I tried to do it with just the $1000 and something would always come up and I'd have to use the debt I was trying to pay off cuz I didn't have enough saved. That's just the right amount for me it's different for everyone, only having $1000 is putting yourself at risk to get back into debt.

    If you think you might end up down the path where you could be addicted, I recommend looking into getting some help from a reputable organization. I wish you the best as you are catching it early. It can definitely get harder to escape the longer you participate in gambling activities and strengthens the habit.

    Been a "gambler" more so poker player though for the past ten years now. Tonight I lost $3,600. This has been the normal for me for many years now. For ten years I've played poker typically mid stakes 1k buyins etc. I've probably bought in for over a million over the past ten years. I "thought" i was really good. Read all the books, studied all the strategies etc. After ten years I've had enough. I've gotten no where in life with it except just ruin after ruin after ruin. I told myself if I lose 25k this year at the 5/5 I'd be done with it. Here i am down 22k and I just wanna ban myself at this point.....

    I'm praying for you to be able to break free once and for all! I know it's tough. There's no shame in looking into getting help. Ten years is a long time for the habit to hold you, breaking free is not typically an easy process without some kind of huge leverage to motivate you to stop.

    Not if the cc company randomly lowers your limit after you pay off or down the balance based on no fault of your own, ie economy, company internal finances etc. Then you've paid down a credit card with money you will no longer have access to. Save first. That money will always be there for an emergency if it's in a liquid savings account. No one can take your savings away like they can your credit limit. Be smart and don't pay credit cards before having something logical in a savings account.

  • @WakingUpDreams
    @WakingUpDreamsАй бұрын

    No argument here. I know that can happen and it's definitely a risk to use the only liquid funds available to pay off the debt and have nothing for emergencies if the CCC companies decide to cut you off after paying the debt down. It is unlikely, but it can happen so it will have to be a calculated risk for anyone who may decide to do what I did. Thanks for sharing!

  • @WakingUpDreams
    @WakingUpDreamsАй бұрын

    Funny thing. I studied 2 of his products (debt cures and his memory course) when he was legit and they were both useful and 1 worked well. I think he had a health book on natural cures too, but I didn’t get too far into that one. The debt cures book content worked out exactly as he said for me and the strategy helped me out of drowning in tens of thousands of dollars of credit card debt back in late 90s. His memory course was very educational but took a ton of work. It definitely improved certain aspects of my thinking process and help me understand better how the brain worked, but my memory still sucks since I didn’t put in the necessary work. All that being said, you’re right. He ended up getting too greedy and made products and claims that led to him getting locked up for almost 10 years. I wonder what happened when he got out of jail if he still owed the money he was ordered to pay?
