Once in a while, Dave Ramsay show has some real diamonds. The mom here called him because the son wants to pay $70k a year for music school to practice tuba.
“We’re required to love you even if you’re dumb”. Young people, amiright?
Certain politicians want us to pay for that shit!
Did they say what school? If its Berklee or something then its definitely conceivable that it would lead to a reasonably profitable music career somewhere.
Exactly^ Juilliard isn’t taking in slacks
Dave Ramsey repetitive af. His conservative ideas sometimes makes sense. But some of them is pretty dumb like paying the lowest balance vs the lowest rates. Or combining finances with a poor. Never give a dollar that you don’t have to. When in life protect yourself and if ever going through a divorce. Scorch earth policy
That’s advice based on psychology, not on wealth optimization.
I should have thought that you would understand that.
I get his argument. His advice for stupid people.
Perhaps more ignorant than stupid.
It is hard to walk the tightrope of financial success. Not everyone is as gifted as you, Nery. From a poor immigrant to future hundred millionaire by your own effort!
I listened to the video… Ramsay gave good advice.
He’s right, i’ll go further and say you can’t always get what you want in life. I think I would have been a brilliant racing car driver. Didn’t have the finances to make it in that world. So now I’m focused super hard on pulling down as much money as possible so that if my kids or grandkids have a passion that doesn’t pay a lot (and they have to be absolutely the best at it, no screwing around), I’d be able to fund it.
But like i mentioned before, can’t believe some politicians want to fund or wipe out student debt relating to this kind of b.s. Shit, you’d have kids who don’t even give a damn about the tuba signing up to get room and board and food to party for 4 years. It’s free, why not?The universities would love it.
Not a very versatile instrument the tuba is isn’t it.

$100M for nery? Is that philippine peso?
lol no. 100m usd. at least that is what i expect to die with.
honestly i just want to be the richest of my relatives which is currently pegged at 40m usd.
Do you realize that at the recent pace of 30% a year, Nery will be a hundred millionaire in only 21 years? That is far beyond even his own ambitious expectations!
Why do so many (right wing) Americans find it so extraordinary that someone would chose a different path to the path we all chose, ie a career solely for financial reward.
What is truly ludicrous in the scenario is that a school can charge that amount. The arts should be paid for by taxation and grants.
Fake news. What politicians have proposed paying for private colleges?
Pocahontas among others wants to cancel student loan debt. If someone wants to borrow money to pay for a tuba degree, they should pay it back, not the tax payers!
