The Dave Ramsey Show DISASTER 

Josh: outside of the US people get up to four weeks paid annual leave a year. Thats the law.

Fun fact. When you install a browser extension, that extension is now able to see every bit of data (html, cookies, session data, urls, url encoding, page content, etc) in every browser tab, every page you visit across every website.

I'd like to know if Ken did that segment for free because he's a true company man.

I wish you would at least throw in an occasional personal accountability and agency onto the worker. She can choose to leave the major metro and work in a smaller city without a commute and possibly work remote while doing so. There's this constant bitter child tone to your videos where you assume individuals have no agency. It comes off very communist teenager. Major metros are for people that LOVE the hustle. If you don't love the hustle , move somewhere that matches your rhythm.

@@ragnarlothbrok6240 Major metros are for people that LOVE the hustle. /doubt

And it's only getting worse.

This, if you worked and you were solidly in the middle class, most people wouldn't complain. That obviously isn't the case anymore. You work hard to be paid pennies and if you use the normal "9 to 5" method, good luck buying a house 😂

Also, in many American companies, 9 to 5 isn't even real... Try 50, 60, 70, 80 hours a week... You can't work such schedules for long, it's extremely exhausting. And you can't say "no", or they'll fire you.

Their skillsets arent as valuable anymore. In the 50's swinging a hammer paid good money because not everyone could or was willing to do it. In the 00's being good with computers paid good money for the same reasons. But we're past all that now and yet some people are still clinging to the professions their parents mastered and are shocked that they have been relegated to automation or obscurity.

@@ticenits1926 Annndddd no new jobs were created to replace those jobs. Now what are those people supposed to do smart guy?

Dont say that, he might shid and fard

Well said

Your job is to talk and push policies that benefit the rich

I’m willing to bet his hands are soft.

FACTS

Pretty good quote ngl

Exactly, you can always go make more money but you can never get time back once it's gone

I get the impression that none of the talking heads on this show know what real work looks like.

​@@amicaaranearumthey don't. They said that their first "9-5" was there, at the yt channel. That is not a standard 9-5. With a boss that penalizes you for being 5 min late or trying to make you stay until 7 for tasks he gave you 15 min before the end of the shift. In my opinion, working both 9-5 and now making my onw time ( remote), they have no clue. They argue like aristocracy used to do, in the past, about how peasants eat and live 😂

@@voidspirit111 Reminds me of working in a fast food place. "I want to work around 4-5 hours a day otherwise my body will be stressed too much because I'm disabled." (And by disabled I mean energy limited so working more hours than this will cause burn out and fast. It was a physical labor job.) Somehow ends up being on closing shift > Somehow ends up basically working full time anyway and not part time > Ends up being a closing manager in only 3 weeks > No pay increase to match new responsibilities > You think I stayed?

Yeah, he'd be the first to break down if he had to actually work a real job after this cushy one...

Omg she mad she only has 4 hr free time. I work 12-14 hr 7 days a week hour one way. I get 2 hr free time ok sometimes 3 cause like f it I want to watch RU-vid or play game more time with my cats. But also on my free time there cleaning cooking laundry. I don't have kids lol.

@@jborrego2406congrats for you accepting this as normal and ok?

​@jborrego2406 yeah because everyone wants a miserable life like you, right?

@@jborrego2406 You do realize that that's not OK, right? No one should have to be working more than 40/wk in order to afford a roof over their heads, food in their bellies, and maybe the occasional night out. If you want to work more to get more than the essentials, have at it, but don't buy into the idea that how it is now is how it should be. We can do so much better for so many more citizens than we're doing now.

😂such an easy job tho. Be useless and talk for 8 hours . Can u imagine? Getting paid to poop on others 😂. Horrible

Please…..You think think he work 8 hours a day.

haha, right *checks Ramsey enterprises website for spokes model opportunities*.

He talks shit on average 2 hours a day. He does something else the other 6.

​yep cause masterbation definitely constitutes "work"

This is just how it is. Let them eat cake and drive Teslas

It's the ultimate indication that they do not think for themselves.

Like most bootlicking Americans, he thinks descriptive and prescriptive statements are one and the same. It’s not just that this is “how it is,” but these types think this is how it *ought* to be. Americans really take a perverse pride in eating sh*t sandwiches.

As I mentioned in another comment, "how it is" isn't how things have been for people for the majority of history. I mean, yeah, having a small family farm was hard work. So was being a tradesperson of some kind. There are a lot of ways we are better off now. But the other side of the coin is that we now spend long periods of time relatively uselessly - as you might in a long commute, we often live some distance away from our work (hence the commute), we much more often have sedentary jobs that make purposeful exercise essential (which we don't have time for, thanks to the time sinks like commuting or just plain time spent sitting in a specific chair because that's what the boss wants), and we tend to have a lot of disconnect between our work and a tangible result. "How it is" isn't some time-honored, well-tested wisdom of ages. It's a novelty in human history that still needs a lot of work before we can call it a good idea. And that people want to shoot down remote work essentialy because it doesn't fit this very new model is just ridiculous.

it is what it is

Looks around 40 to me, which would make him Gen X (i.e. we don't claim him)... but I get your point

Yeah I don't know any millenials with his mentality. We're far more in touch than that. He has to be gen X. 😂 if he's millenial, we do not claim this pos.

​@@dillon7748no he looks 50 and he's def gen x

That’s why he was hired on the show. He has the best boomer mindset

​@@Dug252- Ken is friends with Dave Ramsey. He didn't even have to interview for his job. He was given the job freely and skipped over everyone else.

Absolutely

How?

Ramsey is worse but Ken is second. Rachael is a nepo-baby. Jade is the only one thats half decent since they fired Anthony.

@@andrew8168they fired Anthony? I don’t think Ken is a narcissist. He’s ridiculously soft and more like an adult teacher’s pet.

It should be no surprise. It takes a certain kind of person to primp and preen and get in front of a camera to tell people how they should live their lives.

Nailed it!

Can't stand the wanker...

I'm just glad people are finally talking about these assumptions we have about working etc. The labor market doesn't have to be as shitty as it is.

100%

Why don’t black people just talk to a friend about oppression and discrimination in housing and the workplace. I wish those black people like MLK would stop making inspirational speeches urging social change. Jeez Louise.

I would have to agree 😆 usually he co-signs Dave or jus sounds cringe

The number of Americans with any grounding in reality is exactly zero.

Agreed, he's the weakest link for sure.

The girl crying online is hardly a good look. She has two options either work or not work.

You have time to spend with family and friends 😆 I haven't had that sense 2018

Ken probably dumps most of the domestic labor on his wife.

Just said the same thing, realistically for the average American, it's around 7:30 am to around 6:30-7PM. 9 to 5 job where 😂

it's almost like being an adult consumes most of your time. Let me guess your hunter gatherer forefathers had it easy picking nuts and berries and taking naps all day in a cabin.

@@ticenits1926 Hey, guess what? Survival shows exist and the funny thing is, they mostly only spend around 4-5 hours doing actual work after they've set everything up. Funny how there's already evidence for this :)

Yeah I did that for that too once only lasted 8 months. Commute is a real killer for sure.

I work with some people overseas and some of them legit commute 3h both ways and have kids.... Like wtf....

Most people* And that's been true for all time.

34k for a first job is pretty nice. My first 4 jobs, I wasn't even making half of that, lol. However, I wasn't commuting 3 hours (if the 1.5 is o/w) a day, either, so...eh. lol.

@@notorioustori well it was like my first proper job I guess. My first ever job was cutting fruit in a restaurant for 10$ an hour

He is the literal worst. So damn smug and condescending. I hope it is a "personality" he employs for his DR job.

@@adamp6320 Nah, I think thats him for real

Agreed, the guy lives in a bubble.

Ken doesn't want to work for Ken

Having a Condescending attitude/skill is Not a requirement to be hired at Dave Ramsey's company. But it does help. They have such great potential to do so much better for people , but they instead kick people while their down. Very poor character in such individuals. Yes, don't coddle people, tell them the truth and give them Specific solutions. Generic information is just not enough. Have decent manners and respect for others when speakingto them, no Matter how high on the success ladder you're on. They are half-Christian at best. Luke warm.

I just feel like he has some dark secrets and someday they're going to come out because he's kind of smarmy and kiss ass like no one like that is ever 100% kosher.

So you are all on the crying girls side?

It's bullshit* plain and simple

This is what people are ignoring. 9-5 was made mostly for factory workers and restaurants. Not for other jobs.

Did you get a PHD in Art?

Have you ever had a thought that has contributed to something? Maybe improved things for the people around you? Of course not.

Actually you're just wrong, we don't have as many factory jobs but there are many jobs that still require a lot of manual physical all day labor. Electricians, plumbers, Builders of all kind. grocery store workers who go into a hot sweltering truck and have to unload 5,000 pieces to get groceries on the shelf. Remember during the pandemic they were deemed essential, while other people got to sit on their ass and do nothing. Without those type of workers, the country will fall apart within two months. I really do wish everybody would quit their job for 2 months and become a RU-vid blogger like this fool and see how quick the infrastructure falls apart. I can see the Meltdown in the streets now, when somebody can't get a latte from Starbucks at 8:00 in the morning or they go to pump gas and it's turned off because there's no truck drivers or gas station attendants Etc... y'all live in some kind of alternate Fantasy Land that's not real life. Not every 9 to 5 is office work, in fact most is not. I would love to watch most of these people on the internet who Proclaim they don't want to work, watch them actually try to feed themselves... hunt, fish, make their own clothing, it would be the most hilarious thing ever. For the record I don't want to do all that, so I am grateful that so many people still work hard in this country. they should be celebrated not lead down this Fool's Gold path where everybody can just do what they want 90% of the day. If you are lucky enough to do that, you should show gratitude, not make these crazy videos and celebrate a woman who needs a wake up call. Truth is yes the rest of her life is most likely going to be a 9 to 5:00 job and it is what it is. Heck I would love all the Amazon workers just quit for 2 months and watch these internet bloggers lose their mind when they can't get next day shipping anymore. it would be the most hilarious thing ever. And that's just something very minuscule in the scheme of life.

For privacy reasons, I do agree that it’s best not to “share your soul” on social media. But these people are _wildly_ out of touch. I get the impression that none of these talk-show hosts knows what real work looks like.

Now in my early fifties, and I've come to realize that yes, Dave and his bootlickers shovel a LOT of bullshit. The only purpose of a job, is so you can pay the bills and live YOUR life. You weren't put on this Earth so that work could BECOME your life. If a job isn't fulfilling that purpose, then that job is a pointless waste of your time and energy. You only get one life, with very limited time allotted. And, as a wise man once said, no one has ever lay on their death bed and said, "if only I'd worked more."

stay strong dude... sometimes life throws a curveball but maybe you can make some adjustments and use this "disorder" to your advantage somehow.

the vast majority of people are not getting into real estate like Dave Ramsay did. The old adage of "it takes money to make money" is how they got where they are today despite their protestations against it.

The problem is when these people actually were working you actually earned some money, I mean trades earn the same amount starting out 2-3 years ago as over twenty years ago. They have gone up lately but its only keeping up with other manufacturing jobs.

I get the impression that none of the talking heads on this show know what real work looks like.

Yup. Would love to see these talking heads work rewiring the electrical system just for a single floor or attach a new roof during the summer months.

Talking Buttheads

Once upon a time, education was something you could obtain to **escape** enslavement (of many kinds, and more especially to ignorant ways of thinking). Nowadays, education is one of the fastest ways **into** enslavement (of equally as many kinds, the least imaginative of which is the mountains of financial debt). The only thing my degree currently does for me is hang from the wall and remind me how much I hate my degree. No one warned me ahead of time that this was even a possibility; I should have been "smarter" with my one chance to get things right, I suppose! So here I am, up to my eyeballs in student loan debt, **not** employed in a way that takes advantage of my education, feeling very very alone. "You can do anything you want in life! Except you'll probably end up hating the vast majority of it! And we'll consider you weak if you complain about it or try to fix it in any **meaningful** way!" Oh, really! What magical wonders! O_o What makes things worse is that managers and business owners like Ken **say** they want their employees to "think outside the box," but heaven forbid if they starting thinking so far outside the box that they become successful **without** the 9-to-5. Consequently, mainstream schools don't actually teach students in a way that helps them escape the status quo. And so on and on the Wheel doth turn, crushing all in its wake.

@@birdjerichoI know the pain, bro. It's an unfortunate reality. But you've done the hard part, which is admitting and identifying there is a problem. A lot of people just go "That's the way it is"... but you're beyond that phase. And that's the beauty of your specific reality. So I want to try to give you some hope: Think of all the people you know who are in your situation. That's a lot of us. Now think of how many of them are actually working outside of the box to escape. None of them, right? So your competition is very minimal. There is an opportunity here. You have to do some research and thinking to figure out the path, but when you find it, you will be among very few people on it. And the laws of supply and demand dictate that your value will rise due to this. That's what I did, and continue to do, and I'm rapidly rising compared to my peers. Good luck.

The degree was a lie and she doesn't want a roommate because then she could afford to live in the city. Her problems are her own.

@@blackjackjester Most people don't like having room mates for obvious reasons. How dare someone want to live on their own!!!!! A job should be able to pay for all of your basic necessities, if it doesn't then that's not a job.

​@@blackjackjesteryou aren't smart, are you? Have you ever had a room mate? I have. I would never want to live with a random stranger if I can help it, because people are awful (you just confirmed it yourself by being you). I have trouble trusting family members, how am I expected to trust strangers? Right. I didn't - and it helped me not get screwed over.

She chose all those things of her own free will. Now she's complaining because she has to put in effort.

Worthless comment

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@NateWilliams-h8q You’re pathetic… Why don’t you shut up and get to work troll? Put in 12+ hour days for years, making someone else rich, then have nothing to show for it and see how it feels? If you still think this life is acceptable, you’re a part of the problem.

@@NateWilliams-h8q Most people do not "choose" those things in the normal extent if its between doing that and being homeless. You really underestimate living costs these days. Shes complaining about the juice not being worth the squeeze. You shouldn't HAVE to put in constant non stop effort for years to have basic existence in the richest country in the world.

@@MrFrankEast I didn't underestimate anything. I'm simply holding her accountable to the same standard I would be. She has very fixable issues. Her choosing instead to whine online shows exactly who she is.

Remote work is being phased out.

That’s how my last corporate job was. They would rush to the office at 5 am to brag about who got there the earliest. Then they would work through lunch. Then they would stay until 7 pm to compete for who could leave the latest. _These people were MISERABLE_

Robert? I thought that was Henry Ford? (I live in Michigan, Henry Ford is celebrated for giving us weekends, it'd be funny if it was some other guy named Ford haha)

@@anonymouse9833 yeah, I'm not great with names.

@@jbb8261 I wonder why they compete over hours, but not productivity, or even who's doing the most outside of work. At my job, it's who looks the busiest. Lastly, computers can do so much work, but the places I've worked don't like automation. Idk why, but it seems like they're misery farms. But to your point, I like riding a bike. You ever feel like grabbing one, pull them to a window, and showing them the world they're missing? 'look, there's a breeze you haven't felt in years!'

@@thebigb1286 none of the work we did really mattered and the company was spending more than it made despite multiple warnings. Went bankrupt during covid So there’s that. That’s why they compete about things that don’t matter lol

It is more about control at this point.

Yes, being an adult is hard lol

I think most white collar jobs only work 6 hours a day. The other 2 you just chat and do other things on your computer or phone. Lets switch it to a 9 - 3 already! There have been studies that after 4 hours of working productivity starts to drop.

I can live with hard, just not spend most waking hours at some job...@@flsupraguy

yes I agree let’s all stay home and do nothing

Pre-pandemic I did everything in my power to live a walking distance to work. This was not a blessing it was a choice for me, either in the job I took or the home I rented/purchased. Now I am far far away but only need to go in 1 or 2 times a week.

He’s a false Christian. The Bible warns about people who cherry pick and don’t fully obey the Bible. Dave doesn’t fully obey. He also is a hypocrite and the Bible warns against hypocrisy and hypocrites.

Prime example of working half as hard and getting twice as much.

The number of Americans who have had to struggle is exactly zero. Anyone in that country was born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

To be fair at least Dave is making all his kids work to earn their inheritance and its not a given. He is so wealthy that none of them would ever have to work again.

Is his daughter? Omg didn’t know 😮

Isn’t that why we work hard though. So our children don’t know the struggles we go through. I’m happy for her and the family who’s been blessed by Dave’s success.

He'll eventually get one when Dave fires him.

Working for yourself is way more stressful and takes more time than a 9-5

Logic is unAmerican.

It's less about Ramsey and the goons, themselves, and more about how they are among the clearest examples of a whole culture.

Amen!

I've gotten super lucky. My degrees in Math and Physics have gotten me some great, unconventional roles. No commute, self-scheduled, doing stuff I love. Just the prospect of having to go into a standard 9-to-5 (but actually more like 7-to-7) makes me think about suicide. I don't think that being alive is even worth it at that point.

Welcome to the life of men. You two can have the privilege of working until you're 80 with an almost non-existent chance to truly retire.

Probably office properties, short it!

😶‍🌫️😏

You shouldn't complain when you come to a world of filth. You should just have your turn at whatever pieces of garbage you get and be happy with the overlords. That's what they want you to do in this world. A world that THEY did not create but only destroy for the benefit of making you reliant on them. The slaves eventually become the overseers and forgot they were once slaves. Often, they double down on the foolishness as well. It's a sick place.

megadeth qoutes - def wasn't expecting that this morning!

Find something you like. Do you like helping people? Work at a school or hospital. Do you like problem solving? Learn coding or engineering or be an analyst. Do you like fashion? Find a boring job ... but at a fashion company. What helps me is to try to be awesome at what I do and up my game. It gives me focus and purpose when feeling monotonous

and it comes with a pricetag that increases with distance between home and workplace as a bonus!

Gotta love that good ol', sweet ol' nepotism!

I'm a GenX'er approaching 60, and I'm not making fun of anyone. I've watched things go south with my own two eyes over the past 40 years, and the GenZ kids have my sympathy for the world they were born into, and the challenges they have that we didn't back then when I was getting started. It's not 1985 anymore, that's for damned sure.

@@stevepreskitt283 I'm glad you're aware of how different it is. My inlaws and my mother still act as though their kids should be able to afford what they did at the same age. My dad is aware of the changes and tries to help us out with advice and give us amazing Christmas presents of things he knows we've been needing but either can't afford or are lower on our list to buy. He even helps us out with house projects because he knows we bought a fixer upper due to the costs of housing and intend to do most of the work ourselves. My inlaws say we should just hire someone to do the work without understanding we can't afford that.

No American has ever had any touch.

Yeah, how DARE he expect people to pull their weight!

This is where women learned that they fucked up by focusing on their career FIRST rather than looking for a partner. Queue the cats when they hit their mid 30's.

​​@@Delimon007Give us a break. Are we supposed to starve while looking for a man? Truth is you need a career to support yourself and most households can't survive on one income, so we gotta work. And I can see you coming already with the ''but you chose that with feminism bla bla bla'', yes we did, because it's still a whole lot better than what was possible for us before. In any case, if women are dying alone with cats etc, means that men are too. And given the big headlines about men loneliness, seems they are the one complaining the most about it... So develop some empathy and common sense or just worry about yourself.
