from the headquarters of ramsay solutions which the rams asia, where we have people, build well, no work that they love.
Eight actual amazing relationships. Can common ramsay personality number one best, selling arthur nature, the purpose and home again comb and drew these markets?
Today, talks about jobs and careers and money in my
that you'll love it and so
questions about all that you jump in will talk about anything else. You wonder we talk about you.
in front of you and we make a living doing it phone number.
Triple eight eight to five. Five, two to five jump in Marvin is gonna start as off this hour in new york, albany to be precise, a marble
welcome to the ramsay shell.
David can privilege to be able to speak
with you and thank you very much for that. You do not thank you. How can we help.
I'm am so so real brief, I'm forty, my wife is thirty. Four right said we ve been
read for twelve years
and started a turf grasp insulting business.
with the money that we receive
from our wedding, but that we do work forward on local mom and pop golf courses and conduct field trials. Forge
packing manufacturers. I was able to go full time with the business in two thousand eighteen and she was
to go for a time
Twenty twenty,
in january then Steve
we were able to become that free by paying off our house. One of our
I am certain will be selling their golf course soon summit.
And were you is,
shouldn't we buy it for one point
billion dollars
first question is, can David I play for free. It could affect our answer, no pressure
I'm kidding my lifetime membership, the it's going to cost your marvin are going to cost. Your advice is going to be free today day
so ok one
point two million
and so this thing is, has a net profit. After all, salaries are paid, including
whatever the owners paying himself to manage the course goes, a mom and pop this thing.
making three thousand a year
No it's doing doing about one one, fifty two to two hundred the net
so one or would you pay one point two for that.
yeah
I mean you know.
I know I know I know- I know the golf course business a fairly well the infrastructure in the gulf war,
business ni ni.
Yet the warfare comes from the assets, rights, meaning
it's a damn cards, rage, maintenance equipment.
like that, and now the world doesn't come from. Those things only have a value to the extent that create a profit. Ok, if all of those things
zero profit you would have which known as a hobby day, not a business,
and so the golf archly infrastructure, the quality, the turf, the every
there, the name the reputation in the community, the area,
of town. It's in
All of that goes to create one thing, profit and the
you calculate profit is net profit. I, a small,
illness is worth a maximum of five times that profit by at times net as a joint press, a twenty percent rate of return and
small business purchases a very high risk purchases are. You would want at least a twenty percent rate of return and that's after it.
It that's, if fear and absentee owner- and so let's say I bought it for in tennessee
and I'm I had to hire a manager, and I had to hire
every single staff member that was needed. Not you get to work
or for free are they a former owner, gets to work over there for free and thereby increase the profits. You follow me
real profits for an absentee investor. This is how you calking
the value of a small business transfer and I
cap rate process, capitalization right
The only other way you could count calculate the value is the watch called book value
be considerably less, and that is if you took all if you bought it and you shoulda
all the assets you showed off the guy,
Archer sold off the real estate, you shoulda
If the EU collected the receivables, you paid the payable and that's book value
should be less than four times five times net profit. It should behave, but that's that
If you are going to disband the whole operation and it's worth more,
shut down, then it is operationally then
that's the case here, because I can't tell you man, I don't know, I turn about the gulf business, but there's
of a joke in the investment world that the guy. That
the money on the golf course is the same
an owner. The guy that make some money on ski slope is the second owner, because the first
usually goes bankrupt, there's not
there's not much marginal red and that world very low margins
and so they just be careful not to
I thought if you can pay cash for marvin and you wanna buy.
it sounds like you know, the golf business
the sad over that you been in, but on
the finances on this deal. They don't sound that great
the guy goes wow the real estates worth a lot, then he ought to just sell the real estate if the real
is worth more than a million to the outer shell, realistic, but condos on it or whatever coming from
from a business transactions standpoint, not a romantic view of grass and trees and ponds. The real estate
is unquestionably the most valuable part of this purchase. A mom and pop golf course is a mom and pop golf.
worse for reason not knock at home.
played some awesome. Little means in my life and their great
but this is a low margin business and you pay.
We don't have the clientele you look at
soldier, your average member or your average golfers I'd, be run in all those things it beyond everything the dave mentioned, and unless this is a burning conviction,
and you got the cash for it and you can handle it. I'd run away from it unless
it's a real estate purchase only I mean it's just
such a low margin busier competing against in that area, your competing against higher in clubs that are charging
much much more and you just limited in your growth with a small golf course. Your limited your revenue growth is limited. Godlike love, though I can throws round the enchanter link
We have. What did I say a lot, a really good munition, my tolerably, sorry, a municipal corners. I know right now is its ideas, golf links. It just means that local public course not a private courses public.
anybody comply. I've played a lottery ironies in my life. That's pretty good gonna, like the way you did that you slipped out in theirs.
Did your level of expertise was an accident
I know it's all I could afford to play my dad. Let's all we could play were moody's when I was growing up on a pastor's income when I think communities, I think a municipal bonds, muni bonds,
oh in the gulf, that just reads a no track figured it out. Have you heard about it? No, it's not necessarily a goat, direct or something there are there's a very nice ones. Yes, I do know goat trek means it means horrible golf course
I can tell you a great one in the virginia beach area: stumpy lake, a great municipal golf course, great name, stumpy lake,

in your area. Today,
She comes from neil in wisconsin, I'm wanting to get my degree in the financial industry. What is the average starting salary for someone who straight out of college and what
Their position be how much room for peace
Ocean and growth is in this industry and how do I
set myself up for success. Neil, I don't know,
at the top of my head. What an average starting salary is, because this is kind of a big ambiguous question in the financial industry covers a lot of different, specific naked. But you can be everything from bank teller to ceo yeah, so that's a pretty wide range, but the second part of the question we can address how much
for promotion and growth is in his industry, while again depending on the lane that you pick
within the financial industry, think of it as a track and field track? There's six
Eight lanes there, multiple, independent
and you could do very, very well. There's no question: you could do high six figures and you could be a seven figure earner in the world of finance. I mean it's just a question about
that's everything from wall street to invest
Professional that does very very well so this
The limit is the answer to this. How do you set yourself up for success? That's the that's it
answer the answer that is is doesn't matter on the industry. I think it is three
hearts, you gotta know your role.
every level that Jura, that's clarity, do I know what to expect
Did me the second thing
except the role when the now have an attitude
rather too, for where you are and bust it. There is no new
If you don't win the now in third maximize, the role go
bob and beyond dont mockery,
like you're the ceo, but then work like
We like you own the place. That's no europe,
Sectoral maximize role, its clarity, attitude and effort, I think of you- do that on every law,
well that you're at you're always going to be promoted, will yeah, absolutely and- and you know, bathed
Smile show up on time, smile, don't don't be entitled twit
and these things will take you along wise to remain its cause, really
in a world of people who don't do those by
the things you really do set herself apart, I edge it's just a big deal to show up on time. You know, and while so yeah so neal that that that the problem that we're having answering the question is, is like saying: I'm going to get a marketing degree, what a marketing people make while there's about eight eighty thousand different things, marketing people do and the same thing's, true with financial.
A finance degree. I have a finance degree with a specialization in real estate and and cause I wanted to be in the real estate business. That was my goal. I grew up in the real estate business. That was the long term thing, but I've got all the financial goober classes under my belt now and so about one thousand years ago. I did
and I show you know now. What are you gonna do with that? There's a lot of different legal kinship corporate position as a financial analysts in
finance in general, finance an account
we are really good.
base line
so of knowledge to move into companies do very well, for instance, there
two primary sources for the ceo of major companies
a day off
All the sea owes and major companies in american they were are either former cfo those or financed people, accounting people
being counters of some kind or another or they
direct marketing assails? That's the primary to prime.
pools that see out come out of the people.
bring in the revenue and the people that manage and operate the business well from a numbers perspective, yet have a higher likelihood of becoming she egos. Very few people come from the graphic arch department to become the city, and that's not the put down the graphic arched abarbanel,
the statistical fact answer. You know you look at where that taking your show, but yeah it's a great degree
as a baseline of knowledge, does in getting that degree of its basic busy
degree you're gonna end up with good statistics under your back
got accounting under your belt you're, going to end up with marketing classes under your belt, and you know that those are going to be doesn't be knowledge bases that you'll use wherever you land and business. So all of that sets you up for a positive situation
carla is in florida. Carlo. Welcome to the rams asia I

a population that when people start doing a written budget each month, they have a ten to fifteen percent, lift in their money, because there's that
much in lost and just disorganization an impulse spending.
We find it's actually more than that, because the people were dealing with a different than the general public. The people working
whether like you evan, they're, sick and tired of being sick and tired and they're about ready to bust into something
and so they leaning even harder on that budget and
make everyone those dollars squeal they make
everyone is dollars, behave and that's why we even call the budget every day
every dollar as an assignment, and that's why the budgeting app
called that

thanks for having me on sure, what's up I'm calling from just outside
cover embarrassed colombia here and basically I was wondering if it was to barter me to buy a house or star buck start a business first and if you would think buying a house would be smarter. How would I go about that with today's like housing market?
buying, a house in terms of to live in your home or as a rental property. There'd, be
women of my own, ideally with sweet tarento, but that might
the further down the line. Okay, are you single, I'm single? Yet what do you make? I'm I'm twenty and I still do live with my parents, but I currently make thirty five bucks an hour. What's the business
you want to start, they would be in the equipment, services
And welding industry can obviously you know how to
do equipment, services and welding at. Where are you going to get your customers? So I got quite a few connections from past jobs at farms and whatnot from when I was a bit younger, so I would be able to get a lot of customers in the agricultural.
Some type of work is that business is gonna, warlike fire going well. What I'm getting at is, he said house or start business, and so I'm wondering is there a lot of capital outlay? Like you, you have to pay
lot of money into this to launch this business? I do
so I haven't really put a whole lot of thought like I get. I've put a lot of thought towards starting the business, but I'm really tallied up the numbers, because I'm I've just been told that for buying a house, if yourself,
point the bank doesn't look super highly on that, rather than if you make a steady and come out of place has been around for a while longer learn washing.
Two well in america, they're going to want to say to tax for two years of tax returns. I don't know what it is in british columbia, but two years of tax returns as a self employed person proves you make
other than that there is no problem at all, be self employed. But but
well. You can't move in there with and again
do not know. The mortgage process in british columbia can comment on that. I'm ignorant about it show, but you got to find it
but I think you're probably you know you're on the right track that her with that issue? How much money do you have saved
I currently have thirty five thousand in miles
even when I got just under thirty thousand members did not good for you and
you, you are in the welding and equipment services
business now, making thirty five dollars an hour, that's correct and so are
or do you have the ability to do side jobs
in the same industry without
stepping on your current employers. Customers are still
learning from them in any way that that's right
That's very my e mail, your finest working up. I don't understand you try again
You have the ability to work on side, jobs from home and also from the shop
without getting in the way of my current courier without ethics problems, with your current employer right exactly mocha show what I would do is
not start my business full time. I would start at part time and and start done. Some sad gigs
and I would go get me a rental property or a place to rent and just you know, move out of your parents' house you're twenty years old and I would not buy a house right now. I would just keep piling up cash
Plenty a time I was not undo, the housing market got do with where you are
and then I want your build up that sad gig build up a shod gig door, you're, making more with it than you order. In your day, job then you're ready to quit and run your jot run your business full time
the big deal here that you're gonna discover jam, and I want you discover this by actually doing it not does not in theory not discussing it.
What you don't? Discoveries that doing the welding and being in,
welder is a different skill set than running a business. You can be an
So technician and still run the business poorly.
you could be in a you, can run a business well and be a horrible technician. People do that sometimes, but
It often happens. Is someone is a great chef ends?
They automatically assume they need a restaurant. Once again,
slightly different thing to run a restaurant than it is to be a chef.
Thing that communist food, that's the only thing
chef is one skill operate.
a business is another scale and is that
What I'm saying when you shall, I think, you're, probably
very good at what you do? You sound, very competent and confident
and on shall I would want you to
jewish building upon the site? What do you think you're doing
That is why you're doing the work on the site, you there's no risk here.
you're, not all in a great job, no conflict of interest and
I'm learning the business with zero risk and dave's right that there's a
isis of welding. Then there's I'm selling these parts and that's a whole different blogging. Then I'm runnin, my business and while I'm doing it on the side,
I'm learning by experience, but I am also going to sit with people who were win,
in the industry. I will tell you this dave.
I think the most underrated question in the hills
through the world is, will you help me and
Will you help me in this case a young man who's? Twenty who approaches
I may be in his thirties or forties or fifties or sixties and says hey. I
get into this business one day,
I buy your lunch or coffee and will you.
Just tell you know what I need to know where you helping me. Is you just give me some knowledge in some wisdom, and I have found
successful people are,
very willing to help that person who ask that question and shows up with a will.
is to learn pad paper notes on your phone.
I don't know how you do and if you do that, here's what happens now you
Yet all this wisdom and knowledge from somebody who's been way out in front of you and then you begin
apply it on the side and days right,
picks right back up. We're Dave's advises at some point: you're gonna scale. It too
where you can walk away from the day job right into working for yourself, but there's no risk here and patience is the key it's hard to be patient. When you're twenty, I mean crap,
time for me to be patient and forty nine,
it's really hard to be patient when you're, twenty, but patience is what such
what for the long haul- and I think that's the
that's the only thing, I read what you said about the voice was fantastic, so don't buy

Then we will talk Joe, isn't like Charles louisiana, high joe
Welcome to the ramsey show it said they cover taking my car sure. What's up
So my question today is a couple on our church is offering to honour finance their house to us
and I'm just gone to see. If that is gonna, be a smart play with my current situation. How can we do
I will check your current situation so how much debt the f.
now our baby steps to. We still have a bell. Forty forty two thousand, which ranges from
God knows what your household income sixty five percent
a thousand so when you go be done with the forty two
wherever snowballing coming by to eat you,
three years would be. That sounds reasonable. Are we tell for
joe not to buy her mother in debt. Ok, because
you know, murphy will move in your spare bedroom and
rigour will break the rueful lake and heat
I'll go out and you're broke cause you're still in debt.
And then you've got a real mess on your hands. So what appears to be a blessing because of the timing is not going to be a blessing, it would end up being a curse
So I would tell you to wait, and that may mean that this couple cells vows to some one else. That's fine and you you know
to have someone else for you will be another plan,
when you're ready and you
a good emergency fund and a good downpayment, and you have no debt.
And you move into a house in that situation, the house can be a blessing, not occurs.
But when you move into a house broke you just get broker, that's why they call them brokers. You know just it's a bad idea, don't do it, don't do it James's that ready, yeah, okay, so, ah
they sent me this thing can this I don't know if you saw the show I haven't seen. This is, are excited, but it's not exciting. It's not okay, it's scary. So I mean we get scam stuff,
all the time people using my name- oh you know, people using you know saying Dave. Ramsey should do this day rooms just to do that, and it's like well, of course, Dave ramsey, didn't say to do that. That's done! He wouldn't do that
and by the nose us know that these things, but then people I dont, know what I think
I'm endorsing you, know bull. So this one pops up
this one's scary, because it's a lie, it's what I was going to ask you something you don't play at play at this long, instagram
Just the dumbest thing: I've seen alone a wind, total credit card debt surged to one point oath
three trillion dollars march, the highest level ever on record
that part of it dating back all awaited through them.
Three
I have about sixteen thousand dollars worth worth of dead calm and includes a car, a credit card, the medical debt from the birth of our son. Okay. So what you need to do- and this applies to my listeners at home- has to go apply for an economic recovery package today. Do you hear me the fastest way is to settle it and pay pennies on the dollar. For what you owe and you can
that using a free service through the economic recovery program today. Thank you. We love you hold on a second kelly's gonna, pick up. Ok, our economic recovery package and pay pennies on the dollar, and you, of course you swipe down and you go to this website to buy their crap,
and are obviously I may is
I said ai when I first heard it on my computer as ai, but when I heard it now just now audio that doesn't it's not even ai, just a bad voice yeah, he got one phrase. He got one little phrase that was close but too
somebody who does it? Listen. You much indebted
I buy on youtube. That's nasty that
Really. I was instagram and instagram thing, so the attorneys honour we're going to shut down its room shut him down, but then they pop back,
as quick as you shut them down, because it's you know it's a scam. It's like whack, a mole yeah, it's there everywhere, but I I they just you know
don't notice, but it would change from these ear buds in our ears to the microphone, whether in front of a vase six
and I and then the thing in front of your face. It makes it look like I'm saying it and
and the closures out with both may actually closing the collar, of course,
ultimate deception, milk in it with actual real stuff from you. Now it's very you know that may always be on all fraudulently and involve a copyright by the way to but yeah
Why so now we do not endorse the economic recovery act which doesn't
when exist, which either way what a joke does not exist. There's no such thing echoed now hungry.
So and you can settle your debts for pennies on the dollar yeah. You can do that,
What does this is why these scam debt cancer,
dayton places yes and other get you into debt consolidation process and home, but that part was brilliantly
cause, that's the kind of fuzziness that we hear from DC. They say things like economic recovery act and we all go. Oh they're here to help you no economic or berea yeah. You're right that that's a troubling though toronto re
the framers quote. He said the most scary words in english language, our I'm from the government and I'm here to help yup. That's exactly that right
a man and a man, the economic recovery act, and just just what is that even me,
That's not even an act by the light of what is an act, but it's not that kind of an act, wow crazy,
try to rip your voice off practice a little better than that
come on. Let me is what goes from California, if not enough tennessee and we're not wanting
doktor its current rapids. I dug what's up,
David. Can? How are you guys doing it better than we deserve? What's up? I'm glad
speaking together, then looking on the shelf about six years now and a little bit embarrassing to state that
Like my are not completely out of debt yet cause what I like to say,
we found a shallow time were sort of ram the ash. We did successfully pay off. Eighty eight thousand dollars of student loan, not only twenty one, that's good here! Do I look
the shouldered and without a student loans, be going on right now to meeting tonight have a deal at that, but my question today had
with roth iras, because we still have sixty two thousand
and dad on three.
Line items to
a card, and one is a camper
much too early in the upper camberwell. Twenty four thousand show one third of this is a camper,
yup you and the other, forty or thirty, eight thousand.
into how many? What kind of car
have a twenty seven on the tahoe
and nine are almost ten thousand on an edge. So you have a car and a camper problem: okay, yup! There.
now what you're not outcome. We bring it
grows about one sixty a year, so we're only at about forty one per cent of our annual incomes, a little bit below the fifty percent that each okay, and so you want to plot your roth
While the question is cause, I've actually listen to the show for six years, and I've never heard this question. So I may have a good one. I'm at- and I know you teach not to pull from retirement because of the penalties and taxes associated
doing that. But in our case we each my wife and I each have a roth IRA
In my name, I have a rock of ten thousand dollars and she's got
a thousand and her name in my question- was about the cash equivalent become
how did the after tat absolutely not
she's, not roth problem or attacks problem or a penalty problem. This is a doug problem. Dark
behavior you make a hundred and sixty grand
o money on a camper,
we do when you want. I can show your breaking retirement for our camp.
Now we also
that out a year
dave, I'm in the camper investment business, no you're, not
no better than that dude. What's it
worth you having italian matter unmarried. It's gone. Yes on the images EL on its supreme.
Either you pay these cars and these campers off in the next eighteen months out of your cash,
low and you guys were being issued, or you know the cause
the problem. You keep treating the symptoms.
And when you tat, take this money out of retirement and start where there's not enough to do spit bit of money in there. But if you did
get out. You keep treating the symptoms and the symptom is the dad. The problem is the dog.
the dog I stole, so you gotta get out, you guys are drafted, could be an age. That's what you're saying you don't get on decent plan
get on every dollar you and your wife shut down,
Ok, we knocked out eighty eight thousand. Now we look kind of
lay sitting here with these that's making hundred sixty. Graham, we make too much money to be this written broke
I have no money and retirement doug mean you're fat thousand at all. It's awful!
got a hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year.

Actually, this ramsay stuff. What module do this year, so we were probably dave if I had heard about the dave ranging
show before Lindsey I got married, which was six years ago.
when we were on our honeymoon in being the financial guy, I was listening to the dave. Ramsay show podcast while and then lindsey
at being like she. I think she was reading a book and she said what are you doing? What are you listening to and there was the dave ramsey show we listen to the podcast and that's how we got first connected and then, ah I family,
Gifted us f p you for christmas, okay in southern, when she comes out of med school, no question of what we're going do correct will knock us out pump at don don don don, very good.
when you are going to ask you: is the doktor in your world? Did you share the process?
the journey, as you were doing it, and if you did, what did you find
Reaction was and- and I'm just curious how many other people that are in your shoes, doctors that are actually even think it about gettin after the way you want it.
yeah. I mean we talk pretty openly about it and in honestly, most of them
are not doing what we did. A lot of people are doing, public service loaned forgiveness or they just kind of or on the you know, ten to one
your plan, though eventually paid off. You know they make enough money. They want like two big expensive house
the fancy car and announced after stuff correct did they look,
to treat you like, incredulously like what are you think it now never
that type of situation, just more so could tell that they didn't necessarily agree with it like. That would be nothing that they would ever do now. Look interesting, yeah, look at! You are completely free. Thirty, two months, that's routed while as very
cool? What do you tell people the key to getting out of debt is cause you're successful at it
would say my key: is the budget and then also we, we always had like really short term goals, but then also
in the longer term goals we were always having.
goals that we wanted to get done within. Like you know a month
you and then also. What's our goals
five ten years from now like? What do we want life to look like? So that's really what kept me going yeah, I, I would say, like consistency
so like we knew how much money was going towards debt and we set that goal from the beginning and just kept on going and, and also you guys, have heard the phrase or use the phrase dream dates, and that was that was huge for us. They keep us motivated to keep us going and look to the future,
and white legacy we want to leave behind the revision, have a or your life
and when you have a shared dream, then that's the
like no one else, so that later we get a living like no one else and that you gotta
that later in sight and high definition, and

I knew there you under the bed. I brought all the debt act over. We all have an investment alone, and I said all that our own, but but I think the biggest thing as we knew before marriage that we wanted to tackle the debt and with cove iD and no interest,
we wanted to get it out of our lives, our good for me. Why this? What? Why would you listening to this show davits because of your person,

Okay, we're going to push off your raise and to so then I asked for a six per cent. They said we're going to push it off till ok,
Labour will then the responsibility that was it was supposed to increase it
beyond that, in the end, the six month.
because we're we're developing a new, a new department, her for our branch and I've been kind of given that an that's now
What do you mean? I make eighty two five and so you're asking for like ten grand yeah? Ok,
and their supposed reviewed in october. Anyway, just a few weeks, you either
I hold the line on all the line on the number. If again dave our. I want you in the governing all it's all the narrative of how you couch it. Ok, you just that the best way
well, but lots of these things, especially in business. It's just trade shoes for a minute. Ok, if you're the leader,
you're, the owner, you're, the manager of that's making these decisions. Ok, how
would you want to be addressed how'd? You want this conversation to sound
and I'm an owner of a company I'll, tell you how I want it to sound and I'm happy to talk to anybody about their comp.
I'm happy for them to talk to leadership here, any time about their comp and and here's the thing.
you're not entitled to anything you earned.
and you have said your earning it.
But I mean I've wanted outcome office Joe a few years ago. These like well I've got this degree in that
the poor guy, have more degrees than the monitor, and he he said you know people
have degrees. Like me and other places you know they make fitted
no more year than I'm paying and I said yeah than a europe, their pay me. I said I understand that, but we'll pay four degrees here. This is a small businessman.
your eurasia effective when you are, and so that's what
owners. Looking for your raises effective, when you are you ve made the
to me listening to you that you ve been effective and you ve gotten the increase
boss ability and your stepping up in.
taking emotional ownership of these areas and so you're a valuable team members would like to make an so. But the way-
want to catch it if you're on the other side of the desk? Is how Joe I mean think about it? You want to say not I
deserve more money, simply go
I think I'm adding a lot of value to you. Think I'm adding a lot of value
adding value? I need to ask you: how do I go about talking to you
in a proper way without sounding ungrateful cause, I'm very grateful. I love this place.
of the opportunity? I love the group.
I love the added responsibility and you know: what's the
wave? If your me to ask you guys about compensation, and I I I'd really like
make more and what do I need a desert? Anything I'm not doing that! I'm dead! I'm do you know him.
Nothing! I can add desertion, undaunted duchamp, indifferent to qualify
For some increased compensation,
and if somebody says to me, how can I, what can I do too,
myself more valuable. So you want to give me more money. That's an east,
That's an easy thing for me as an owner. I can do that one! Oh, I can go ok because in
like I had a guy one time he's working on a deal and he brought in
extra million dollars, beverly
but now blew my mind. He did he added this.
Into a deal? He was done negotiating a deal for us and he added this thing, and so
in his commission structure did not pay him on that million dollars, but you know what
We paid him anyway. You know why? Because I want him to do that. Again,
ok cause he added value, you shoot I'm talking about so a lot of value. In that case, that's a big number, but the
the thing is here. I think you say I am I I think I
adding value, am I adding value and
If I'm not adding enough, what do I need to be doing to qualify for increased compensation
because I really want to be one of your best team members, and I also want to make some good money and tell me how to do that Matthew. I agree with that. However,
I would also add to this Joe date.
Must you a six percent? I would ignore that cause. I think thinking
you haven't. You do a lot more checks higher since a joke in this it yet maybe
he needs anything? You gotta have some market place, research on
like if somebody comes do us and sir, but he's he's gonna start up in their their adding their adding new products, are adding new projects and thanks to his plight, left and right, left and right
and make an eighty already here, he's worth another ten. I think he is but
gotta make their case, and I'm just pointing out that he's goin in asking for twelve to fifteen. They vast six lies a show market, ringwood mask for twelve fifteen hours
I've open ended question. Ok,
because he was saying we have talked about six back in the summer, I feel like I'm doing all these things. What have I gotta do
Oh, I don't. I always say that young and you know that kind of thing and and then, if they come back at six, you go
I need to know what I gather to get double that cause
I thought I was in that zone and apparently I'm
silently added responsibilities. She talked talk to me that way, and you don't start trying to
limit soon. So I start by hardball with us. It ramsay on rage, negotiation. We just go. You noticed,
when I go work out here, is we're not gonna yeah
you run negotiate come on. You ask
how you can help em if you,
no wonder I get in here will share it with you baby I mean it
not we're not greedy, but but you know, just
oh up every day and breathe, and shall I get money?
that's not what Jos doing right, but if you,
out there and you think law to show up every day and I'm actually took a shower daily, and I expect a raise.
I mean come on man. There is no just shower daily ration that there there's not one of those. So you know it's crazy. What's out there
people think about the staff. So yeah, here's the thing
If you want to be an extremely valuable team. Member always be.
Asking what you, how you can add value, how I can lift the place, not what I can take from it
so chauffeur interviewing someone in the first two sentences. All they want to know what they get then more done with the interview, because there there to take their not there to add
they're gonna work, a j o b work as little as possible, come in light, leave early and steal whether there and
you wanna present that the exact opposite of that scenario agree when you're interviewing or when you are negotiating so to speak for arrangements not negotiating.
its asking leading questions. Yes at all,
so being informed or what you're asking we had agreed on another day in in one of our technology roles at very unusual nitro, but he said I gotta. I gotta work
come on. Let me offer my ex more
because I don't want to leave
crazy money. He goes. What should I do and that's a wider approach it now
I love. If you don't match this guy, I'm out of here. Does we begone see you wouldn't want to be a you know,
it's right and on the boat, but if he comes in he goes out. You know what we we were not able to match it, but he wanted to stay. We were able to respond to his situation and make him feel good about staying by giving him a great rage and
There was an unscheduled rage hallo. So that's ok,
it's fine, but that this is how you of that
attitude you approach it are. You would give her. Aren't you take her? Are you a parasite
or are you someone that's adding to the whole process
if your adding to the process and the people don't respect? That, was your in your wallet? Probably look for another place, Joe, I think you're going

check in with us here today will help you to the phone number triple eight, eight to five five, two to five alex's in cleveland ohio- I alex how're, you I'm great thinker taking think, are sure. What's up.
I'm trying to prioritize my money between my mortgage saving for retirement and replacing my car. After all, my budget, our expenses are covered, but if I put everything extra towards the house, I could pay it off in six years, which sounds great, but my parents prioritize paying off their house before retirement. Now they don't really have retirement. Only I'm thirty three
So if you did that you be thirty nine years old, exactly
mathematically, you would not be your parents,
and we could save a lot for retirement of your
whilst moment between now and retirement between thirty nine and sixty five right not to get points international, your parents, your parents, the fear,
they came for repair situation is not valid in your case.
I'm still not gonna tell you to do that, but I just think it's good to work out the math for a second now and so you're out of debt, everything, but the house right correct and you have an emergency fund of three to six months of expenses. Set aside correct right
fifteen thousand good. Ok then you're at what we call baby step forward by Mr Forrest, say: fifteen percent of your income no more into retirement. If you have no payments, but a house payment,
Fifteen percent of your income going into retirement should leave you some money in your budget,
and about five hundred? If I do that, what's your household income, seventy seven thousand pre tax post tax and ended up being about fifty seven. How much is your home?
Payment must be aware that the onward ago,
One thousand
three hundred and thirty one ken. How are you paying off your house? Secures if you say nothing, I don't hear them.
these numbers have an accurate thousand three hundred each month,
Are you sure you're extra five hundred each month? That would be like,
into retirement racial reboot, eight hundred into retirement in a five hundred rideau towards a car. Ok, what's your current car worth roughly sick?
I will let you know: do you only want to spend on the next car? I'm gonna need to spend weeds pan, maybe thirteen if I buy used, which is the plan to everybody
fifteen in your current ones, were sick. You need mine, Brian, and that takes was it takes.
Not even a year will take no textual over who talks about. Fourteen fifteen must save that up a five hundred a month right exactly on commercial fourteen fifteen months you got your
upgrade meanwhile you're putting fifteen percent of your income in and then will shortly
you're around the house. I dont have five hundred extra go towards another. If everyone
but you're evoke erect
wrap alighted out into the distant future. No raises that turkey here now
amidst the reality is assured on path- the house, probably in six or seven years, while putting fifteen percent away while replacing this car with a decent thing.
everything you have described to me,
very saying you are not a crate, craig american you're, not out of control. Think here I mean really
you use your very level headed man, you young out. I was up,
afraid you were were gonna, say thirty, five thousand car and I was gonna- have a small cow right here on the radio.
My mom raised among battery down or even Antonia sir,
you really have your ear your feet on the ground,
a beautiful way, yellow common sense, kedo, show you're gonna be fine, so the thing is
you're, going to accomplish everything, this
way. We ran out the case studies and the way we ve talked to literally
millions of people that we made an millionaires. Is that this idea of your point,
fifteen percent, why don't put more than that, but don't put less than that you're going?
up a multi millionaire with that alone and
you're gonna get the house paid off on average in your numbers are not different than that,
under ten years- it might be seven, it might be six point five and it depends on the curve on your raise as well. How quick you, google,
you're going and what you really do for a living here. I want to know this year. I wouldn't
getting for a small company, I'm just wondering Alex. If you are thinking about the gig economy, freelance marketing after hours,
to speed up this by a new car fund. I would we
be considering that if you have the margin in your life with your skill set in two days,
marketplace freely.
work. Is a marketer. That's what I would be doing to get the car paid for our economy.
You don't for the small company
like most be one say design
fires, social media, helping them
content,
what I'm doing is like talking with engineers and then getting them to speak in english instead of geek. That's a full time. Job
also extremely valuable: your translator and the digital economy, they
show me
some times, and you tell me if I'm wrong, but sometimes when someone says I'm a mama
and a small company, the small company part of the phrases code,
for, I feel like I'm not being paid what I could make somewhere else
now that one? What I asked.
Did you say that accidently in that statement?
You make seventy, but you think if you moved over yonder, you might make ninety yeah yeah. I've been thinking about that yeah.
am freelance. I can't say that enough: yeah, anum, launch of rail and stuff on the site, because if you can do digital translation from the
documents to the non digital humans. You have a skill
don't tracking down freelance things. We looked at
labour, but it's so many international people like it
hard to find a gig that no international you just start. Looking in your area, you just get on the internet, you're talking to people that there is a lot of freelance work, there's a couple site sites. I don't want to endorse them, because I haven't done a ton of research on other companies or a company that cannot afford
a full time, marketer would buy it
pay for some gig contractor work either they same exact, same work done in that situation, because we
a lot of functions out of our building the do what you do their their digital translators. I never called them that before today, but they that's what they do, and so you get on a squad with a digital teams, and then you have to learn to speak their language, and then we also have to learn that the consumer. You know what
consumer facing after we write this code. What's it look like
gaza, sound how's. It feel an icon.
yeah, that's exactly what you're doing and that's a tough challenges of very valuable skill in the marketplace. Right now, I like your work
When you get paid, probably you made to think about them. You're an amazing fun to talk to you you're amazing, very well done
well, then you're going to be very wealthy. You don't even have to worry if you keep keep using the brain. The way you're using your brain right now, you're gonna be very wealthy. Your your decision making skills your thought paradigm is excellent. This is ramsey show

In Milwaukee, hi Austin, welcome to the ramsey show
sure taken my call. It's a pleasure speaking with you sure, what's up so I'll, try to make a quick year by of a two part question,
that kind of revolves around my career that I was hoping to get some answers, or maybe suggestions on what I could do as I've been listened to for quite some time now and ever since I've been
I do everything right, but I seemed about myself
the coroner here with work
any further work to me.
you're my income growth,
and I'm sorry,
twenty three years old and I'm truck drivers for a career. I my region, all over the road truckers
not caused a college or anything I make about sixty two key based gross pay
but after all my overtime, I l grossed roughly around eighty five k a year, which is a five k a month after taxes
and rock four one contributions. I have no doubt
No I'm looking to make more money on because I feel like I meant to do more, and I love
A career in company I workforce or switching companies, isn't something I'm really looking to do, even though certain
companies out there I could get starting
A hundred and five key year,
trading more of my time for money in saying on the road longer, which I know the big bang,
between making money and taking your time and the oil problem
What being a truck or, though, is that unrestricted time how much I can work with the outside world?
If I were a morsel aside job
Legally, are you're only allowed to work fourteen hours a day and a maximum of seventy hours a week, but between
each seventy our work week, you
to be grafting for thirty four hours, with no pay
benefits, a non driving job
and saw the only solution I would have to think about getting
as a.
under the rug pay,
cash pay job and it or do I just accept the fate and make an extra twenty kay
switching companies while looking the car to make more so what's more important to you is it. Is it stand in the the driving position? You really love it and then having this time they have now or is making more money what's more
port, because you gave us the whole scenario, but
it comes down to what is the biggest priority for you
I mean you know it. It's it's one,
because I do enjoy my free time, but there is most weak and bad
neither not doing something, and I'm just sitting there kind now
not having anything to do and I feel like I could be doing more or you came so here's what I don't work so forgive my ignorance. Is this
regulation of the company say I is federal. Regular gets a federal, regulated you're not allowed to draw so here you, so you can't you haven't. He can't deny understood you can't work. You can do anything any outside work and receive in
because of its reported its outside the fed regulations that what I'm understanding I
during the week, but I'm not home during the week, are kept for one. I got them made my ongoing interaction, ok, so
legally, we can do something it's just during the week. So what is how many hours do you have on a regular week where you
not behind the wheel of a car.
Typically it's about,
Well, you got forty eight during the weekend because we get off weekends and then at typically about well,
stood one. He took out the weak right, so twelve, twenty hours is what you can work with two
do something else. Can you said I feel like I'm supposed to do more, so we have to first look at
What inventory of time you have to do?
their work. Now we get
the twenty hours so now
start getting into what? What is it that I would do if I wasn't in the truck over this different type of work? Be I'm
believe you ve got those ideas. Another guy, like you
cause doesn't have an idea to show. What would you do if you weren't limited to the truck this other
de of work doing
something more. What is it well I've? I guess I've always
I had had it not again
car dream, but I've always are.
To start, my own business is I've had a really good
idea deal with a new?
of his army, would be. Do I make a business with protein bars armed factually and my bodybuilder,
and that's one struggle. I found with a not allergies, as there is not a thing,
protein bar on the market
doesn't contain knots, or at least at least more the thing I was so, let's make this big dream: let's bring it way down, for second, must play with this twelve
the twenty hours. That's it
if you are actually working for somebody, but you ve got a whole lot more time to be able to
to look into what would it look like to put together a prototype bar
that doesn't have the nuts in it or whatever it is that you ve got figured out. You can figure out who is making me things. How many different companies across the nation are,
putting together protein bars. Just like me.
Fracture in any other business and now I starts a research and I figured out- and I
figure out. What's gonna cost me who would make it can
just sample it. You ve got all this time
even behind the wheel of a truck to be
listening to maybe podcast about how to come
with a strategy to want something like this there people to do this kind of stuff, it's free, so you become
expert in what it would take to launch a protein bar. That's it. We start there, because if this is the dream
then we're not gonna just launch into the protein barbarism. There's a whole lot of work, so you're using all this time to become an egg.
bert. In what needs to happen, then we look at the finance peace. What's gonna cost and so now
you, ve got a plan. Here, though I would have to do
here's how much is gonna cost
you begin to save that money.
go slow. You dont risk a lot of money. You try your test it. This is a process
so I would be putting that
desire to play in very practical
ways as I just described, and then over time.
You might see yourself going right? I gotta take a different trucking job to make more money to come up with an extra twenty thousand
put into my first protein bar and I've already got seven
local stores that are willing to carry it out.
A ton of inventory, which means I don't have a tunnel risk, and I began to put it out there and I see does
margo somewhere, maybe you'd look into enough riga. You know what I'm our monitoring,
from the truck to actually working for approach
seemed supplement company because
can do that. I can work for them. Is this entrepreneurial or is it
she'll professional path? All of that will become clear,
You take your time and use all that extra hours and energy to dive into
what is it going to take to do this thing? And that's that's how I do it you're the way you're describing your situation is that ah, there's
two options, doing what you're doing or not doing what you're doing and hum.
because you're looking at is an all or nothing instead of an incremental by degree change, and so what I d pan
I can say, I am twenty three one, I'm thirty three. What do I want to be doing
water. Then that will then what must be true. That's not true today for meat will do that and then you start making address thirty two steps to get their over them
damn near over the next ten years will start taking those thirty two steps network can was describing the first steps of the thirty two step.
just begin by degrees
moving in the right direction, a little bit of time and that method of thinking will
cause you to be able to move forward versus I'm stuck you're, not stuck
You can do the little steps in the right direction right now. That's what can describing for you this other amnesia.
Gentlemen. Ramsay personality is my co host today, thanks for joining us in the lobby of ramsay solutions on the dad free stage, Joe
and Emily or where the shade guys. How are you doing

and your range of income. During that time we started out about a hundred and seventy, and we finished up at about two hundred acts.
what do y'all do for a living
the guy that everybody curses when they try to get into those plastic packaging
Www plastic packaging behind the plastic passion am that guy
look
we talking like when you get like
box in the mail, and you can you get it over with an exact or knife gap that high level that I really do curse. I felt so out of it
you do Emily. I am a quality system french near our I very cool
you. Guys are doing well, congratulations. What kind of debt was
in two thousand. It was a mix between credit cards. We had an a t v and he locked loan that we did used for some home improvements and a school pledged for our church and, finally, a land loan sold during the height of culvert. We went
purchased. Stop on eleven acres course. It I mean we ve been looking for land for quite a while, and we just couldn't find anything that we really really liked, and then this one just happened a pop up ads. I know this is it we just knew it and our bones this
So what happened fourteen months ago, the changed everything? Does you guys really become a normal? You despise stuff on credit right and then you look
when the sox, when I don't know what happened well. Actually the story goes back a little further. Today is actually our sixth wedding
cursory, oh congratulations and prior
to us getting married. I was a single mom living pay check to paid check in had over seventy thousand dollars. Instant owns
when join. I got married. He basically took a look at me and said: can we do
as we possibly can to live on. One income essentially ends
Basically, everything that I was bringing and throw it out, though those student loans.
And we got married
long story short. I struggled a lot with contentment during that time. Realising man, you know we were, we did have a good income, but trying to live not now one.
pay check and eyes sweets jobs in twenty twenty one and
the great resignation kind of turned into. I don't have a kind of looking at the great regret.
and just trying to get through each day at work. I was listening to music streaming music to get through my day and one day I just happened to thank you, know I'll turn a podcast on bonnet.
Mad, and I I call it that god thing
that must have happened? I just happened to turn on the ramsay show I wasn't very familiar with, and I it's my promotional it just so
then that I was listening to an episode one day it was ten common and deeper humphrey
and you wear
Talking about that very thing that I was living with about changing jobs and feeling like, basically, you had wrecked your career by making that change, and I was really really in a dark place at that time.
really really hurting and listening to what the
Two of you were saying about you: basically,
being a slave to the lender and as
soon as you get your debts paid off, you can go, do and explore what you're really passionate
and arm. I didn't
What the baby steps were at that point, but I heard some
thing about an f p, u class, and I I knew I needed to get that career assessment. First of all, because I didn't know what I I didn't know about it if I was doing the right thing or the wrong thing at that point, I just I just needed needed. Some guide
and so I wanted dig that career assessment
I needed to get out of debt
So you got home until Joe Allison shows like
it's awesome. I've been saying yeah what I've been saying. She had a great because what happened? What happened was Emily. You got a reason to do it.
all of a sudden reason was escaping the crappy job in the toxic and burn. So I gotta get this coined. Upshot, don't have to come

it's great why you gotta have a bigger. Why, if you're
the other reason to do it so artless fast forward, yet so you're on board,

Not a budget guy? I'm not a guy that goes out. Dispense justice spend
but I'm not! No! I really don't like. I, like. You know, tools and stuff like that, and if it's something I can use around the house, I have no problem going on buying, but so I wasn't crazy with it, but going down and doing the budget
and sitting down every month in june, which, like an old fire external sunny here, it was pulling teeth to get me to do it. What, once I started, seeing the money
showing up on a nordic while we're all this so the budget, our meal, is them their nails and there's the momentum cause. You know
We can actually nail. This is great, there's a lie
then the tunnel. That's not an oncoming drain that fund, because it was while we were watching these numbers just click on. Yes, I
It's like boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. Here we go here we go here, we go. What do you tell me
the key to getting out of debt? If I been telling people looking to your resources
as far as side hustles, we had our little side hustles that we did, but we also found other resources. We have friends that have a hobby farm and we were able to assist them on that farm and it cut our grocery budget significantly, because we were able to get them

good question. My youngest son got himself stuck.
during the whole life policy and, of course,
I want to talk him out of it getting to that
something else?
So I know the biggest turk he
Jeanne bow against his policy. I know
with the boy one key you'll get penalised
We need much, maybe mutual funds, which I don't know a lot about.
I was wondering, what's the major difference between the poor one K, a mutual
and that he may be able to borrow against in the future. Okay and how old is your son is twenty three okay and while I don't think I'm a mean number one, let's just let's just ask
Why is he going to listen to you? Well, I've got really good, really good.
You should put them in the whole region he got himself stuck here was because I kept pushing for
There's a big money to think about its future.
But but then he picked a bad way of doing it.
right when you say way of doing it is not a good investment programme. What does he say? Okay
borrow he that's his big hook. Yes,
well, no one ever got rich borrowing, their investments
the invasion of iraq, appealing against it. It borrowing
it is not and is not a method of wealth building. That's a method.
Selling insurance, crappy insurance, but it's not a method of wealth. Building.
By not forgotten. Me was actually looking for AL invisible.
in depth. Insurance,
where he started looking
It'll, then me hooked them on the whole life policy yeah. So I mean my point is: is that we naturally
Should a for a one k is not an investment, it is how and investment is treated for taxes, typically,
side of a for a one car you're gonna find mutual funds. So you have a mutual find that either covered with a coat keeping it warm from taxes
and the coat is called a four one k or an ira or roth. I re, or it has no coat and it's out in the cold and has taxed, but in both cases it still. A mutual funds could be the exact
same mutual funds and arm, but wealthy people don't builder
investments in order to borrow against them, and so, if he wants to become wealthy, he's picked a really bad
add way of doing it, number one borrowing against it. Number two he's pictures the problem
one of the worst financial products alive today and
is the whole life policy because it has,
the right of return in the
three years that you pay twenty ex twenty times more.
for the same amount of life insurance she by one hundred.
It's not our whole. I policy you by a hundred thousand
term policy. Therefore,
thousand dollar whole life. If policy is
hundred dollars a month. The hundred the hundred thousand
what term policies five dollars a month. That's what research tells us, so it's twenty times more expensive,
nine be five dollars. Extra per hundred. Ok now
does that go. It goes into an investment call cash value, and so you in the cash value
no build up for the first two to three years. They keep one hundred percent of your investment as commissions,
the first three years you have z, rose on your cash value, build up the first three years, while that socks
and once you get past having a really front loaded, horrible commission off the front in a fine
making money the
the whole I've policy according to research, averages one point: two percent rate of return
not gonna, get rich on that either. Oh and then.
you finally get past. All that, if you actually build it up, you can borrow and pay
interest.
To use your money,
So if you have a savings account- and you want to borrow
Anyone take money out. Your savings account, you know, have to pay money.
You just take money out of your savings account, but with a whole life policy, you will take money out, you have to pay them
try to use your money that you paid twenty times more to build up this
socks
what is even worse than that you finally builder
Inside your whole, a hundred thousand dollar policy, twenty thousand hours were the cash value, and then you score
and die, which we all do. I will go.
What happened to your twenty thousand that you paid ninety
five dollars extra per month to build up after getting past horrible rachel
tour and and no common and no build up at all for the first three years, because I kept at all as a commission wants. You finally get-
in one thousand in their new die, they pay
thousand dollars the keep your slaves,
So, if you had a savings account at the bank at our vote,
pitch annual savings account on Tik tok, innocent, hey, here's. Your savings account the first three,
you put money in nothing happens, we keep it all
that it makes one point two percent and when
you die, you lose your money,
one would put money in their that's a whole I've policy,
so no body are put money on the whole, I policy, so you can reply this rent back for use on germany when it comes out on the podcasting inland
perfect, perfect, exactly what I would do it and I'm not even I mean that's exactly son watch this suggests did not do it. Don't you
Son of Jeremy. You have been screwed by the life insurance industry and they are very good at their business of screwing people, it's unbelievable horrible product. Let me tell you if you're poor, the way they get, you is the pawn shops the way they get. You is

On airline miles using your stupid credit card, while that's a dumb but idea the way they get you
they get. You and our whole life policy. That's a dumb, but idea
the way they get years ago. Sophisticated rich people
their cars. No, they don't know they don't don't bought middle class thing to do so. The whole life policy is
is the payday lender of the middle class. It's a signal that you intend
to be in the middle class to stay there, the rest of your life cause. You got screwed by the insurance companies
and I gotta tell you if you like that, and you shall whole life, you need
actually learn how your product works and then, if you haven't
Haggerty your quit shallowness crap, because it only two types
able to sell whole life, the ones I don't understand it and the ones that are crooks because of you
stand at crap and you shall you, by definition or a crook, because
any body that would sell some one and investment that the insurance company keeps their money that they put in their upon death and call that a good deal is a crook. That's just bull, ok, just absolute scam, stuff. It just pisses me
