Idaho dad wants to use a $200K inheritance to buy himself a Harley. Here’s why Dave Ramsey worries he’s beyond help

Alexander from Idaho called into The Ramsey Show with a money question surrounding a $200,000 inheritance, as well as a motorcycle he’s been eyeing to purchase. The motorcycle in question is the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S, which would cost around $30,000 with all the bells and whistles (1). Dave Ramsey agrees the motorcycle would be fun. But he doesn’t think Alexander should jump into this purchase, especially when he learns more details about the household finances. “Right now, we are spending more than we make,” said Alexander to The Ramsey Show hosts (2). The couple brings home around $85,000 per year to support their family of four. But they currently spend around $1,000 more than they make each month. With a recent inheritance of around $200,000 split between a ...

I’m 35 and middle class with a stable job, but feel like I’m 1 crisis away from financial ruin. How can I sleep better?

Many Americans find themselves on precarious financial ground despite being employed full-time. According to a government study from 2019, about 70% of the 9 million adult wage earners receiving food assistance from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) worked full-time hours (35 hours or more) on a weekly basis [1]. One in 3 Americans have no emergency savings set aside, according to an Empower study [2]. Emergency funds are crucial when people face unplanned financial events like a job loss, car repairs or a medical bill. The American middle class is also said to be shrinking. According to Pew Research, the share of Americans who are in middle-class households has gone from 61% in 1971 to 51% in 2023 [3]. Imagine Lionel, a 35-year-old single ma...

What Eric Trump, Michael Saylor, and others are saying

This is The Takeaway from today's Morning Brief, which you can sign up to receive in your inbox every morning along with: I didn't expect the hardcore crypto bulls to roll up to Yahoo Finance Invest this week and say they are terrified about the sharp pullback in prices. If I've learned anything, it's that when you become a true believer in a new technology, it's damn near impossible to appreciate a contrary thesis or warning signs. To say the backdrop for crypto has been way different under the Trump administration would be a major understatement. President Trump has loosened crypto regulations and signed pro-crypto legislation such as the GENIUS Act. The more favorable environment has pushed major financial institutions to begin embracing crypto as a means to appease client...

Investing in ResMed (NYSE:RMD) five years ago would have delivered you a 21% gain

ResMed Inc. (NYSE:RMD) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 15% in the last quarter. On the bright side the share price is up over the last half decade. In that time, it is up 16%, which isn't bad, but is below the market return of 86%. Let's take a look at the underlying fundamentals over the longer term, and see if they've been consistent with shareholders returns. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. While the efficient markets hypothesis continues to be taught by some, it has been proven that markets are over-reactive dynamic systems, and investors are not always rational. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the e...

Ideas can’t ‘change the world’ without money, military

00:00 Alex Karp I'll tell you the thing I get in most trouble for in my intellectual circles is the following statement. 00:09 Alex Karp Silicon Valley, like the rest of the world, will listen to you if those ideas make you money. 00:15 Alex Karp Now, of course, you still have to have convincing ideas that are true, but if those ideas are not tailored to real world things that work and the valley quite frankly is dollars, 00:30 Speaker A Uh-huh. 00:30 Alex Karp they will not listen. The fact is, and again, I get whenever I tell this to my intellectual friends, they stop talking to me because they want to believe the pure ideas change the world. Pure ideas don't change the world. I'll tell you what changes the world. Pure ideas backed by t...

Element Fleet Management (TSE:EFN) Is Paying Out A Dividend Of $0.13

Element Fleet Management Corp. (TSE:EFN) will pay a dividend of $0.13 on the 15th of January. This means the annual payment is 1.5% of the current stock price, which is above the average for the industry. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. A big dividend yield for a few years doesn't mean much if it can't be sustained. Based on the last payment, Element Fleet Management was earning enough to cover the dividend, but free cash flows weren't positive. With the company not bringing in any cash, paying out to shareholders is bound to become difficult at some point. The next year is set to see EPS grow by 41.6%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 39%,...
