agree with the other poster about 15 year mortgages not being realistic in the current environment, but his 25% of after-tax is a good guideline.


25% of after tax on a 30 year mortgage is perfectly reasonable for a first time home buyer in this market.

Another example about how his No credit card debt makes sense, but everything else he says does not

1) It seems like George's video was talking about FIRE related retirement and how you needed a 3% withdrawl rate to be safe on the FIRE plan. He wasn't really talking about regular retirment.

2) I don't like Dave's investment or withdrawl advice in general.

3) I do think Dave is a great resource for people with bad financial skills. I think he is good for society overall. But this board is probably 90% personal finance junkies, so his stuff would be overly simplistic. But I don't get the Dave hate from people.

4) I do understand why he sells a one size fits all approach. He is like AA for personal finance.
