The whole point of the $1000 isn't that the $1000 is enough. The point of it is to change your behavior and mindset. When I was trying to claw my way out of debt, I couldn't mentally conceive of what it was like to have $1000 in the bank. Once I managed to do it, and it took me several months at that point in my life, it was like some kind of switch flipped in my brain and I realized how much control over my situation I actually had. The husband is trying to conceive of this as a mental exercise, and it's not, it's behavioral therapy. I don't agree with every little detail of what Dave says all the time but when it comes to getting out of momentous debt, he's correct.

The purpose for a $1000 emergency fund is so 3 months in when your hot water heater goes out you have it covered. BUT it does more than just that. It keeps you from loosing hope... "Just when we were getting caught up" or "getting ahead" this happens. All this plan does is gives you a simple process to change your attitude and perceptions.

I live in a hurricane area, which means I have a 5% deductible on my homeowners’ for hurricane damage. I also have rental property in the same are that I can’t sell right now. I seem to recall you telling someone they could keep more than $1k in the emergency fund for some reasons. Would I be complying with the plan if I keep $3-4K for now? That still wouldn’t cover even a 5th of one deductible, but would make me feel more comfortable.

I disagree with you cause you didn't understand what Dave was trying to say. They ARE stupid. They are stupid because they don't change their behavior about getting out of debt. They won't try something new. They are so stubborn that they'll stick to their plan that got them broke in the first place. Dave isn't saying to follow his plan verbatim. I'm sure there are many people who got out of debt using something similar to Dave's baby steps or just in different order down the list. I'm one of them. To me it's like this. If you're drowning and a rescue worker who has experience in rescuing hundreds/thousands of people throws you a rope to save you, wouldn't you reach for it? Or do you wait and say, "I have a better plan, I'll just let the river sweep me away and swim ashore" or "I'll grab onto that tree over there"?

To get out of debt really is to change your mindset. Like Dave say, live on less than you make. If you had to spend $500 on the credit card, you'll still have $500 less debt in total.

When he finally submits to the plan, their household will thrive if they continue to follow it.
