    Figuring the Figures: Understanding Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 6

    Host: ZtikMan

    Introduction:

    Welcome to "Figuring the Figures," the podcast where we break down personal finance concepts and make them easier to understand. In today's episode, we'll be discussing Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 6, which is all about paying off your home mortgage. We'll cover what Baby Step 6 is, why it's important, and how to achieve it. So, let's dive in.

    Segment 1: What is Baby Step 6?

    Baby Step 6 is the step where you focus on paying off your home mortgage early. After completing the first five baby steps, you should have no debt other than your mortgage. The goal of Baby Step 6 is to become debt-free, including your mortgage.

    Segment 2: Why is Baby Step 6 important?

    Paying off your mortgage early has several benefits. First, it frees up a significant portion of your monthly budget, which can be used towards saving for other financial goals, such as retirement or your children's education. Second, it reduces the amount of interest you pay over the life of your loan, saving you thousands of dollars in the long run. Finally, being debt-free, including your mortgage, can provide peace of mind and financial security.

    Segment 3: How can you achieve Baby Step 6?

    Achieving Baby Step 6 requires discipline and commitment to paying off your mortgage early. Here are some steps you can take to achieve this goal:

    1. Set a goal: Determine how much you need to pay off your mortgage early and set a goal to achieve it. This can be a dollar amount or a specific time frame.
    2. Review your budget: Review your monthly budget and identify areas where you can cut back to free up extra cash to put towards your mortgage.
    3. Consider refinancing: Refinancing your mortgage can help lower your interest rate and reduce your monthly payments, making it easier to pay off your mortgage early.
    4. Make extra payments: Make extra payments towards your principal whenever possible. This can be a lump sum payment or an additional payment each month.
    5. Consider bi-weekly payments: Switching to bi-weekly payments can help you pay off your mortgage faster by making an extra payment each year.

    Conclusion:

    Achieving Baby Step 6 can be a significant financial milestone and provide peace of mind and financial security. Paying off your mortgage early frees up a significant portion of your monthly budget, reduces the amount of interest you pay over the life of your loan, and provides a sense of accomplishment. Remember to set a goal, review your budget, consider refinancing, make extra payments, and consider bi-weekly payments to achieve Baby Step 6. Thanks for tuning in to "Figuring the Figures," and we'll see you next time.

    • We'll be discussing what Baby Step 5 is, why it's important, and how to achieve it. So, let's get started.

    Segment 1: What is Baby Step 5?

    • Baby Step 5 is all about saving for your children's college education.
    • Dave Ramsey recommends that parents start saving for their children's college education after they have completed the first four baby steps.
    • The goal of Baby Step 5 is to ensure that your children don't start their adult lives burdened with student loan debt.

    • The cost of college education has been rising steadily over the years, and it can be a significant financial burden for parents and students.
    • By saving for your children's college education, you can give them a head start in their adult lives and help them avoid the stress of student loan debt.
    • Baby Step 5 also helps parents to plan for the future and ensure that they have enough money to cover the cost of their children's education.

    Segment 3: How can you achieve Baby Step 5?

    Achieving Baby Step 5 requires careful planning and dedication to saving for your children's education. Here are some steps you can take to achieve this goal:

    1. Estimate the cost of your child's education: Before you start saving, it's essential to have an idea of how much money you'll need to cover the cost of your child's education. You can use online calculators or consult with a financial planner to estimate this amount.
    2. Set a savings goal: Based on the estimated cost of your child's education, you can set a savings goal. Dave Ramsey recommends saving for college using a 529 college savings plan or a Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA).
    3. Start saving early: The earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to grow. Dave Ramsey recommends starting to save for college as soon as your child is born.
    4. Prioritize Baby Step 5: Saving for your child's education should be a priority after you have completed the first four baby steps. Make sure to allocate a portion of your budget towards this goal each month.
    5. Consider other sources of funding: While saving for your child's education is crucial, it's also essential to consider other sources of funding, such as scholarships, grants, and work-study programs.

    Conclusion:

    Achieving Baby Step 5 can be a significant financial milestone for parents and their children. By saving for your child's education, you can help them avoid the stress of student loan debt and give them a head start in their adult lives.
