| 0:00.0 | As we all grow up and mature, of course, we start noticing some things about our childhood |
| 0:09.7 | that maybe was normal and maybe not so much. |
| 0:12.8 | So growing up as Dave Ramsey's daughter, there were definitely some things that they did |
| 0:16.8 | a little differently. |
| 0:18.0 | So stay tuned to find out what I mean. |
| 0:19.9 | And make sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend. All right, we love our families. We do. And as I look back at kind of the quirky things the Ramsey's did, I will be honest. Most of them, I'm like, I'm so glad they did that because I think it really established who we are as adults today. So I am thankful for it, but it is funny. So one of the first things |
| 0:38.6 | that was probably not very normal growing up in the Ramsey household is that you were on commission, |
| 0:42.6 | you never got an allowance. And they made sure that we said those words. Yeah, you don't get |
| 0:47.9 | an allowance, you get a commission. So you work, you get paid. So I grew up with chore charts |

| 1:33.2 | that I had in New York City that I got in the eighth grade, |
| 1:35.2 | and I put it in with my check register and a debit card, |
| 1:39.2 | and I thought I was awesome. |
| 1:41.3 | I thought it was amazing. |
| 1:42.8 | But yeah, at 15, yeah, you had your own debit card. I remember going to Hollister and they asked for my ID and I was like, I don't have, I don't have an ID because I hadn't have my learners permit yet. And he was like, I don't think I've ever met someone with a card who doesn't have an ID. And I was like, I just need to get that t-shirt, dude. That's all I'm needing. |
