Jay shares what he really liked about the article and the parts that contradict what Dave Ramsey has been saying about safe withdrawal rates for retirement. Jay also shows Dave Ramsey's R:IQ Tool from his website and asks you to contemplate whether the tool works the way it is supposed to or not. What do you think? Is it broken?

Have you ever heard this: "If you just give up your daily Starbucks or coffee, you could become a millionaire"? In other words: "Your coffee habit is costing you your financial future!" Well, Jay isn't too sold on this overused "financial tip." The coffee example misses the mark in a big way! This is despite the likes of Suze Orman, Dave Ramsey, Graham Stephan, and Kevin O'Leary all preaching this example to teach opportunity cost. We need to consider opportunity cost in a productive way to reconcile example with real life. How can we do this? Jay is going to tell you all about it in Episode 34 of the HopeFilled Financial Podcast.

This is my reaction to the call I made to Dave Ramsey on November 2nd. It is also FULL context that lead up to the call - Including two more Dave 8% calls, George's FIRE, and the dead article. My call that broke X (Twitter) with over 4M Views is at the end. Stick around to the end if you haven't seen it yet. Even if you have, I hope you enjoy hearing my side of the story. In Episode #37, I said Dave Ramsey was WRONG about 8% being a safe withdrawal rate. What I know to be true of the 4% Rule (give or take a percent) has me bound and determined to change Dave Ramsey's mind.

In the story today, Jay shares how he used the 80-20 rule to help him buy a new printer frugally. In Jay's history, he utilized a beastly printer - a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark II! Sadly, this printer just died... but it did last 13 years. Given how valuable this printer was and how the family needs/wants have evolved, Jay needed to take a well-informed and frugal approach in finding the replacement. This story serves as a great example of how to apply frugality where the cheapest option isn't the most frugal one for you.

This is my reaction to the call I made to the Ramsey Show Live on November 2nd, 2023. This is the call that broke X (Twitter) with over 4M Views. This isn't near all the context that you will want to know about. A lot happened leading up to this call. Subscribe if you don't want to miss the full Episode #48 on November 21st. In Episode #37, I said Dave Ramsey was WRONG about 8% being a safe withdrawal rate. What I know to be true of the 4% Rule (give or take a percent) has me bound and determined to change Dave Ramsey's mind. While this call is arguably a failed attempt, I pray it is a stepping stone to success.
