You are in the minority and, ironically, believe people want to hear from you……about anything.

Yes, I paid cash for my last home. Never mentioned that tho. Mortgages are understandable.

If you need to eat tuna and ramen, no need to take out a loan on luxery items (car, furniture, boats, golf carts, appliances). You’re not entitled to a nice life. You need to earn it and respect it when you do! Lot of spoiled brats in here.

If it makes you money (home, car, etc.) a reasonable loan is ok. Most of the time, ATVs, etc, don't make you money, so don't get a loan.

Read the creature from Jekyll island, then you will understand. This is part of the plan.

Does your tirade apply to mortgages too?

Yes that was after mortgaging the previous 3. But always paid more than my minimum and kept building it up. Didn’t get a loan on my equity or keep upgrading because I could afford a payment. Stay humble and pay for your shite.

Stop being part of the problem

Part of what you’re saying is true. Lots of loans aren’t necessary.

Ok Dave Ramsey. Stfu

Here’s a quick numbers rundown for ya.

Average New Home Price in 1970
In 2023 Dollars: $180k

Average New Home Price in 2023
$436k

The same metrics apply to cars and most other things.

And you really don’t wanna get me started on the tuition spike that’s driven entirely by greedy colleges, banks/lenders, and the DOE.

The world runs on credit and it is that way because that’s the way the people in charge like it.

Also, none of this has to do with “deserving a nice life”. Everyone used to be able to work the 8-5 and live a comfortable life. Not anymore. And it’s not the people’s fault

price range on cars. Try and keep your payment under $300/mo

Some of you really need to run some numbers. With current interest rates, $300/month might get you a 100k mile mid size car with a 5 year repayment term. Sure it’ll get you from point A to point B but that’s bare minimum.

Borrow at 6%
+
Invest cash at 10%
=
Wealthier than paying in cash

Paying in cash is basically giving up the opportunity to invest at a higher return. Paying in cash is effectively locking in a savings at a rate equal to the loan amount.

The ultimate question is: what are you doing with the cash that you are holding onto. If it’s enough to buy a house or a car, it’s enough to create more wealth via investments.

Pretty sure most intelligent people moved on from Dave Ramsey around 2011.
