#6 The Secret to NOT Being Broke! – Dave Ramsey’s Rant
Dave Ramsey gets straight into the YouTube video about the secret to not being broke. He mentions that the reason why many become broke is that we don’t do the math. Math is an important step to know how much money you have and how much can you spend on it. We have to do the math to figure out what we can or cannot purchase, for example, you can’t buy a car that is worth $10k if you only make 30K a year.
He emphasizes that it would not make sense at all to do such a thing but people still do anyway. Why? Well, they forget to do the math. We can’t be impulsive because that is where we tend to lose track and start spending money away. This YouTube video can be a great way to wake you up and take another look at your financial plan and what your intentions are.
#7 Dave Ramsey Explains His Investing Process
Why not learn from Dave Ramsey himself how his investing process is, because I do! Dave Ramsey starts in this YouTube video by giving an example, sharing that the average car payment is $503. Which sounds insane to him, when instead you could use that $500 towards decent growth stock mutual funds from age 30-70, you will have over 5 million dollars! It is crazy that just investing something like that will make you become a millionaire.
Dave Ramsey explains for this to happen, you have to do it on purpose and you need to get out of debt. So, what Dave Ramsey highly suggests is to invest in a good growth stock mutual fund. He spreads it across 4 types which are the growth of income, aggressive growth, international, and mutual funds that have at least a 10-year track record. You can also buy others like index funds. This is your money, so use it wisely and towards something that you can get benefit out of later.
#8 I’m 1,000,000 In Student Loan Debt!
As we come to find out in this YouTube video, Dave Ramsey takes a caller about someone being in million dollars of student loan debt. The caller shares he had just graduated from residency to become an orthodontist but realized afterward that his student loans came over $1 million. He and his fiance are trying to figure out a way on how to pay it off. With an add-on of all the interest rate will probably be paying $10,000 a month. Dave was completely taken aback but said what probably everyone else was going to say, “What were you thinking?”.
The couple did come up with two possible strategies to tackle these loans. Dave Ramsey advice the caller to go with the strategy that they came up with and it will help knock off some of the smaller loans first, given the income the caller is making which is $250k annually.
He also wants him to start thinking about the mentality of being a broke college student. This way, he is more careful with his money in the next few years of his life trying to pay back all that debt. Which means, no vacation, no buying a new house, and no new car. It is always a good idea to think through what you are going to put yourself through with the type of loans you will take for school. Also how worth it is it, so instead of going to an elite college and being in debt for years, find an alternative community college that is more affordable.

Which luckily, the caller is doing it already. Dave Ramsey then talks about 2 reasons why millionaires are millionaires and it’s because of 401k and a paid-for house. Many millionaires pay for their house because once paid, they have a more stable foundation and view money differently. Therefore, he suggests to pay put the money he has towards the mortgage and also to his emergency saving funds to be potentially used for paying off the mortgage.
