I can't even begin to tell people just how awesome it is to not have debt. You simply can't put a price tag on peace of mind.

Nothing tastes as good as financial freedom

@VirtualCowboy26 2 years ago

He is right. I hated my job for awhile because I hate my car payment. The car payment forced me to work and I started to resent both the car and my work

My husband and I are everyday millionaires thanks to the Ramsey baby steps, zero debt..and I still hate my job😂 the difference is, I’m looking for a new one that more aligns with my values and purpose and it doesn’t matter if it pays less, the freedom to choose is golden.

Id like to share One of my proudest parent moments. My son was 18 years old, living at home just starting collage. He was reciving a £30 a week educational support allowance. He loged into his online bank and then shouted me into the room. MUM, MUM Come look at this. On the screen was an offer from his bank, at the click of a button they would lone him £3,000.00 doped straight into his account right now. My response, Trust me you don't want it. His replay made me so happy. You bet I dont want it. What idiot would lend me £3,000.00. I only get £30 a week, thats just crazy.

That was 20 years ago and I am still so proud of him. Owns his own car, house and everything in it. No debt, now saving towards early retirement. 😊

This is probably the best and most uplifting thing I've watch on YouTube in awhile.

Money can't buy happiness but it can make your misery much more comfortable

I have no debt. Mortgage paid, no car debt, credit card debt, or loans. I have owned my 1989 VW campervan for 24 years and love it. I also have modest savings and work part-time as a teacher, leaving me time to live peacefully and do the things I love. Peace of mind is so valuable. I also have no desire for new things and have minimal possessions. I'm happy.

This episode is such a refreshing reminder that wealth isn’t just about money—it's about peace of mind! 💰✨

We’re about to pay off the rest of the student loans within the next 2 months. It’s been a lot of fun making that number go down! All paid off a (prayerfully) month before baby comes!

It's been nine months that I've been following Ramsey advice. In that time I had to dip into my emergency fund to replace a dead 22 yo washing machine. But I had cash, got one on sale, started to rebuild the fund again. In October I will be fully funded and can pound down debt...one credit card left. Projecting forward, I will be debt free, full tithe paying, no mortgage or car payment free. I already have noticed a lift in my spirits and this past week sprang a leak in the ice water line, damage to floor in the kitchen, mold, but am not stressing. Max repairs will be $200, drying everything out, killing mold and putting the LVP flooring back and my son is doing the repairs. God is good. And I will be debt free, building next 6-9 months emergency fund. Thanks to Ramsey team.

I helped a ex co worker out with her car tires, headlights, windshield wipers, oil change last year. And for her dog to go to the vet twice. Do I regret it? No because I was in the situation of being able to help someone who needed it.

@sf3413 2 years ago

What are the 19 factors he monitors? Why did you only take him for coffee? This should have been millionaires road-tripping: Anchorage to Miami! Too short- do better, try harder!!! Haha, kidding- love ya George. This was fantastic!

@DNOAlbert 9 months ago

I relate so much to him. Having debt will kill me.

@vaughnpeterson 1 year ago (edited)

My wife and I are 31 and 33. We will be debt free but the house in 4 years. We are very excited to be free. Projected 401k/Roth IRA balance will be 5 million by 65 and house paid off in 20 years. Bright future ahead :)

@TammyMayCormier 1 year ago

Being debt free is sooooo amazing. He is right, it provides a certain freedom

Thank you Arthur for speaking freely about your Catholic faith. The way you described prayer is beautiful.

@Splitfin99 1 year ago

No purchase feels as good as cash in the bank. But yes, you'll never regret buying a good mattress, absolute heaven!

Love this guy. And his Happiness book is great medicine for today’s hope-challenged, digitally imprisoned population.

@makaicreative 1 year ago

This would be a cool research study: the correlation between debt and job satisfaction. I never heard of it in this way, but it makes so much sense that what people really dread is the poor financial choices more than their job.
