  2. J Smith

    Ah yes…
    The, is cashing out my 401k to buy something stupid a good idea.
    Short answer: NO

  3. Mike Sawyer

    My dear….sell the truck. Thank you!

  4. Tim Ewing

    I never clicked on a video so quick

  5. Drool Alot

    Dayum, they are really broke. Plus this lady's brain is scrambled. Selling oranges on the side of the road can earn more than 800 bucks a month.

    SHE can't answer a question.

  6. Drool Alot

    Sell truck and get HOOPTIE.

    OR start operation sugar daddy

  7. K Jensen

    Are there no better questions out there? I would like to hear some actual interesting questions

  8. CyTheFox

    No.

  9. Chris Lane Jones

    Plot twist: The handyman that makes $300k year also has a Grandma who gave them $100k to put into the marketing.

    Dave should not be saying people are making $300k a year in being a handyman. The books mean everything to a company. He needs to elaborate on this business model he is referring too.

  10. Chris Lane Jones

    $300k a year for a handyman job. No way. They use the term "handyman" for someone that gets paid a low wage and needs to find a niche. They need to have proof of these people making this much money and not just yacking about it

  11. Garrett Messer

    Sounds like both of them need better jobs

  12. BLAZE

    Dave:
    Sell the beans and rice

  13. B Strong49

    Yes sell that car and buy a 2000 car

  14. Percival Googlyeyes

    You know, she's never going to be wealthy, so she might as well be in debt and enjoy that nice new financed truck.

  15. Jack Flash

    I thought we were pass the point of looking for permission from Dave to withdraw from retirement. This is why Dave is a millionaire and why he will accumulate more wealth. Always. Always some people out there who do or try to do things easy way rather than the hard way. You can run into debt but it’s a slow walk out

  16. ae4xo

    HEY IM FROM WARNER ROBINS GA

  17. Frank S

    THIS is the reason why most people are in debt and unable to retire later in life

  18. E KL

    Did anyone else see the title and think….oh this will be good..

  19. jaren Garnett

    She could easily take a 401k loan (actual loan from yourself) and avoid taxes and penalties. Borrowing $2000 for 401k loan is next to nothing in terms of how long you need to pay it back.

  20. David

    I owe $19k on a truck…my husband makes $24K and I make $7k per year….smh. it is crazy to think most Americans are financially killing themselves to have a new shiny car in the driveway. They have no savings, college fund or retirement but are making $600/ month truck payments and can't figure out why they are paycheck to paycheck.

  21. matt dillon

    its actually only 10% She would be paying taxes on that money whenever she withdrew it, now or thirty years from now. She would lose out on growth but Dave always says 30% and he is wrong

  22. Yummy food

    She’s struggling right now but she seems like she’s doing good, watch, 1yr she’s going to be making 1/2 million dollars. Keep it up, you will make it

  23. Rodney Evans

    If you stop talking and listen, Dave will make your life so much easier!

  24. Rodney Evans

    I love how they know the answer, but they still ask the stupid question.

  25. Joel Edney

    Cash out your retirement for a car?! Use your head. If you have to ask, you know it’s a bad idea. Do you listen to this show or are you just “hearing without listening?”

  26. Daniel Garcia

    Dave, do a video of buying a 2k car. Show me the vehicles you would buy online. I wanna see that

    Pretend you broke and u need a car and have only 2k in cash. Show me these vehicles in your area dave

  27. Jim Roscovius

    Stupidest. Question. Ever!!

  28. Esteban Henriquez

    Is Christy’s Business Boutique for women only? I’m really interested in the conference and any insight she could bring for small businesses.

  29. inertiaforce

    Christy Wright is cute.

  30. Blackbond11

    I'm still trying to understand what made them think they could afford this truck only making 30k a year. What was going through their minds when they were at that dealership??? Did they even check their budget at all before making their decision????

  31. Patrick Childs

    No $2000 cars out there. But wow 31k a year total income??

  32. Juan Soriano

    Caller: I know this is bad idea. But can I still do it in my scenario?
    Dave: What do you think genius?
