I don’t know what Walmart Ken has seen where stockers are paid $25-$30. It’s what I do at Walmart and am paid $13 an hour. My brother is a team lead and gets paid $20. Wish I worked at whatever magical Walmart he’s talking about
I have personally walked in his shoes of being behind on bills and not being able to pay bills praise God im am in a much better place today I pray for God's wisdom and provision for him and his family 👪 and healing for his wife of cancer
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 everyone should be working where they can, nothing wrong with working Walmart, you’d be complaining no one was serving you if everyone left the “little” jobs.
He's a truck driver going through what most dry van guys go through, minimum industry income. He needs to get a tanker endorsement, hazmat endorsement and a twic card. This will make him more valuable to more companies. Chemical haulers, neumatic haulers, grocery stores, petroleum ECT. Walmart is paying 90-100k for drivers right now. No hours being cut, they have to sign deals with mega carriers to fulfill their daily demand. Also, as a driver, only buy your food at a grocery store or supercenter like Walmart. Prep meals and cook. Buy snacks with your normal groceries. Avoid the truck stops, convent stores food delivery and restaurants. Next to gas, this is the biggest variable bill, budget for it and keep it low.
@@reese85 You're right, we were not given clarification. However, for his background in driving, getting a CDL, doing 12 months otr and upgrading isn't a bad idea for him.
@@jennypatterson5790 no! They asked what he did and he said drive! Dave mentioned that he had a cdl but he was just talking to the other host but the caller never said he did
As a local truck driver, he should be making more. My job is hiring starting out at 98k. Also, I donate plasma. In the first month as a new donor I will make $950 tax free money.
I work in plasma and see the effects. Thank you for donating; it's so beneficial to so many!! And getting paid from it is a great bonus. Don't forget to drink water! :)
@@reese85 I know a truck driver, full time 70 hour week company guy, he runs SE regional... He does armed security, works in landscaping, does home health visits and manages rental property (paints, cuts crass, unit turnovers, collecting rents, evictions ect. ECT) As Les Brown says, "You gotta be HUNGRY!!"
I did not understand if he was long haul or local delivery? Either way my guess is he is hitting his weekly limit. I know drivers who got in trouble doing door dash and Uber.
This is the Dave Ramsey I know and love. Not the one who tells people that are living paycheck to paycheck that they are not hurting from gas and food prices! We are in a recession heading towards a depression if somethings not done!!
Dave is a little out of touch with entry level wages. He thinks uber and door dash are quick money, while $20-25 is exuberant... reality about gigs like doordash and uber is they barely break even once you factor in depreciation, maintenance and running costs, doing it short term is basically just a laborious way to get a short term loan from your vehicle. In Boston, $25/hr is probably about the minimum for it to even be worth consuming your clock credits.
He's not that far off. I mean I see regular fast food restaurants where I live starting people near $20 an hour. Also why do people focus so much on this? Yeah he might be a little out of touch on certain specific numbers but it's the principle that matters. Get as much extra work as you can
Right I live in Arizona and am a stocker at Walmart and get paid $13/hr🙄 my brother is a team lead and gets paid $20/hr. wish I worked at whatever magical Walmart he’s talking about😂
I have an excel I use every month to track every expense. I got it from an online template. It’s not that hard to manage where things are coming out and in. You shouldn’t be relying on your teenage kid for their income, especially when you blame some of it on your poor financial decisions. Poor kid
Dose that pay for future wear and tear? Future break downs? What do your roads look like in your area? In my area, the winners are the people ordering the food. Potholes out here can create a $500-$1000 bill real quick.
Him being a commercial drivers he has to follow DOT regulations. He can't really work anther job as he requires a curtain rest period before he can drive the next day.
Lyft/Uber driver here; I've talked to truckers, limo drivers, tow truck operators, morgue van drivers. None of them made more than I did per hour with lyft/uber and none of them had the same flexibility edit: including accounting for depreciation/maintenance/gas
People need to learn multiple skills, if your main job is driving a truck then find another side job where you learn a new skill. Only knowing how to do one job after 15yrs is putting all your eggs in one basket. Or if driving is your absolute passion go learn to run other equipment, skid steer, track hoe's, etc. You will be worth alot more in a few yrs
If you're behind in bills, call the companies and see if they have a payment plan..That's one simple place to start. Then start raising money to pay them off.
Where are all these jobs that are hiring? I fill out like a hundred applications this year. I never gotten offer for an interview. Only a handful of them said that they moved on from my application. So where are all these jobs that are hiring?
where do you live Jimmy ? what kind of work do you do ? tried any employment agencies or worksource ? keep in mind it cost money to advertise job openings
@Jimmy/Saul. I just came from Chicago area. Saw dozens of signs stating "now hiring". Maybe invest in a skill set that is in need. HVAC/Electrician/Plumbing, or learn Cisco/Firewalls/Routers. Those pay 100K easy.
Controversial but they do pay for Plasma Donations. Sign up with Temporary Staffing Agencies. Next month I will be decorating Christian Trees at three stores and earn around $600. Also Substitute Teaching for Preschools, Daycares and schools.
I cant afford to live in this world anymore! Just can't payout on the income get...my rent increased national grid & NYSEG increased Lost my 52yr young partner to liver cancer I myself finished radiation a yr ago I'm 63 and have never felt so hopeless in all my days I'm close to thoughing in the towel
They may have to downsize get rid of everything..Create a space for another bedroom... you can rent out a driveway space for somebody who needs to park a vehicle every night to sleep in or you could rent space like a garage to somebody else or you could go online to a site called rent a friend and maybe be a companion to a senior citizen or a latchkey child. .roommate..or adult son can move out ( I dont care if he is living in a van) so that you can live in a smaller place .. are go online to places like Under the Median and learn how to be more frugal than you ever dreamed you could be ..to cut your food & utility bills..go to a food bank..
I am angry every single day about my fiancée’s insecurities about me working as a temporary restaurant server for my debt. I made killer money in a night just by being friendly (myself) and serving food?!!! Like are you kidding me?! He feels that flirting comes w the job but there’s a difference between that and being friendly. Maybe I should call Dave 😂 and a therapist……
@@michelejohnson6459 funny you comment today when I just had a sweet girl message me saying he was flirting w her on a job (after she saw he was engaged to me on fb, which I don’t have fb) & showed me all the receipts. She has been trying to get in contact w me for months apparently and I still wouldn’t have known she messaged me on ig if she hadn’t reached out to my sisters asking for me. You’re absolutely right and I’m figuring it out. Thank you ❤️
Nor did he mention how long ago his wife had breast cancer. He said she is a survivor so that implies she is no longer actively sick. Having had cancer doesn't make one unable to work for the rest of their life. (I survived late stage colon cancer and i work full time without any issues.) Maybe she should go to work.
@@reese85 My wife worked three part-time jobs while going to school full time. I'm not saying he has to have three jobs, but he has to make as much as he possibly can to get out of the whole, and then he can let up. Maybe he can find one real good driving job. Maybe he can drive trucks during the day and do another job in the evenings. Whatever it takes to fix the mistakes he made. We all make mistakes. It's what we do to fix them that matters.
Man earning 80k+, the wife also earning; the kid pitching in!? One crisis and they are unable to keep current on bills. Somebody has been living beyond there means and disorganized for a long time. I'm not sure one phone call to D. Ramsey can fix that.
Are there any other channels that anyone could recommend to me that are similar to Dave’s except it’s for people who are maybe further along than the average person and want invest there money
A lot of them are trying to sell you something, rather than just conveying knowledge. I like Economics Explained - not exactly investment focused, but they cover so many economic things that hook right in to investing, gaining an understanding of all that is bound to help on an investing journey. When starting out investing... just dump money burning a hole in your wallet in the SPY. (Or equivalent) Warren Buffet likes the SPY for someone that doesn't yet know how to invest. ;) Roughly half of the SPY's earnings are global, and it's the 500 biggest companies - instant mega diversification.
Many yrs back i did this tithing thing. And God actually did come thru. It was so random too. Alot of things started to happen that involed me making extra finances and i wasnt even looking for it, i just listened to the person who told me the reason why i gave it a shot all from a good heart and bam lol God did his thing. I guess because i helped the church🤷🏻♂️ Definitely would recommend it i tried it so i can't knock it.
Really telling him to get a nother job, when his wife is sick. Sorry pay what yiu need to pay for get the rest, file bankruptcy and spend the time with her.
Excuses excuses. My hours were cut. No your hours at your fedex were cut drive uber or delivery service. Once the wife is better she needs to go back to work. They even have a son contributing. More in less out and pay it off.
