Dave Ramsey pickup lines

Written by our own Chris Russell, courtesy of My Total Money Makeover.com.

I still have money in my "restaurant" envelope ... can I buy you dinner?

Would you like to dance? I'd love to show you my Baby Steps.

Why am I nervous about talking to you? Because you're better than I deserve.

Allow me to introduce myself ... I am "borrower", and you must be "lender".

Good thing I got just term life insurance ... because I saw you and my heart stopped!

You can't spell Financial Peace University without U and I.

I've already kicked Sallie Mae out. Want to take her place?

I just bought a bass boat with cash ... and it's a good thing, because you're quite a catch!

I'm not mortgage interest baby ... don't write me off.

The good news? I'm debt free. The better news? I'm also date free.

What would you say if I asked you out? (response: no). That's not good enough

Courtesy of one of Dave's listeners On a scale of 350-850, I'm a Zero!

With a smile like yours, Amy, how could you improve?
# Posted by Alan | 2/27/08 4:40 AM
Ill tell her lets go half and half on this bill baby.
# Posted by luis | 3/6/08 11:41 PM
If you'll buy dinner, I'll tell you how Dave Ramsey turned my life around.
# Posted by Chris | 3/7/08 5:30 PM
Really, I'd buy dinner, but I can't find to flippin' envelope.
# Posted by Chris | 3/7/08 5:31 PM
I love the borrower and lender one! He wants to be her slave!!!!!
# Posted by Sandra | 3/14/08 2:34 PM

# Posted by John | 5/20/08 2:26 PM
How about - With me you'll be "living like
no one else".
OR, I'm Gazelle Intense when it comes to
knowing more about you.
OR, Cash may be King, and you like a Prince to
me.
I love this Corny stuff!!
# Posted by Sally | 7/15/08 5:28 AM
With me Baby, you'll be "living like no one
else"

Cash may be King, and you look like a Prince to
me.

I'm "Gazelle Intense" to get to know you.
# Posted by Sally | 7/15/08 5:31 AM
Would you like to go out tonight? Great! Would
you mind driving? I have a 1973 Pinto I bought
on EBay for $69.99.
# Posted by Rob | 7/25/08 11:02 PM
All my dollars have a name. I'd like to name a few after you.
# Posted by Dave | 8/14/08 10:18 AM
As a young single debt free gentleman I might have to try out a few of these lines.
# Posted by Michael | 8/20/08 2:26 PM
I'd love to buy you dinner, but I'm not allowed to see the inside of a restaurant unless I'm working there. My shift starts at 6:00, I'll see you there?
# Posted by Dave | 8/21/08 9:01 AM
I love the pinto line. We are in the middle of trying to buy a beater. The mini-van needs a new transmission and I am not putting one more penny into it. It is not easy to find a beater car right now. That pinto would be considered fuel efficient and cost $2499 on craigslist.
# Posted by jen | 8/21/08 8:22 PM
What do you say we go back to my place and sell that watch on Ebay?
# Posted by Scott | 8/22/08 1:51 PM
these just crack me up! I hope my kids can use them one day when they start out debt-free
# Posted by carrie | 8/23/08 7:10 AM
Good thing you didn't know me when I was fat.
# Posted by Steve | 8/31/08 8:21 PM
Dave,
Among all the other info. the pick up line is cool like you!
# Posted by Glen Vassou | 9/2/08 1:32 PM
I'm a nerd. Are you a free spirit? If not, one of us is unnecessary.
# Posted by Michele | 10/15/08 9:53 PM
How about:

"Hey baby, I'll show you my budget if you show me yours"
# Posted by Dan | 10/24/08 4:55 PM
"I don't cosign, is that a problem for you?"
# Posted by Jordan Dollar | 11/10/08 4:49 PM
Dave,
I saw a plate on a not so good looking car that said: "Don't laugh, it's paid for" I almost cried!
and thought, "he must listen to Dave"
# Posted by Mario M Ruiz | 11/29/08 6:29 PM
"Let me take you out to dinner, there's a buy
one get one free special at the buffet tonight".
# Posted by Mario M Ruiz | 11/29/08 6:36 PM
"so, I hear your looking for a wealthy man to marry? well let me tell you that
I shop at Aldi, Walmart, Sam's Club, Costco, Save alot, Salvation Army and Dollar tree; so I have plenty of money saved just for you."
# Posted by Mario M Ruiz | 11/29/08 6:40 PM
I would like to connect with Dave about using credit cards,, but I do not know which area in your website to click on to get my question/s answered. Help???

How about:
"Hey, didn't I see you last night while I was delivering pizzas?
# Posted by Lori | 12/13/08 11:16 AM
Dave I dont think that you have much to offer.What you have are people making 100,000 and th idiots cant pay their bills. The lady today on disability of $750 a month you had nohing to offer. A good job for yo and your staff need to put there nose to the grindstone and figure out how people can make money on the internet and learn more about grants.
# Posted by Glenn Meredith | 12/18/08 1:41 AM
So cant you give better information than that.
It is all so vanilla. You dont ave much to offer
Why are you bald and wear glasses. Cant you see??
You need to get a life and learn more about what you are doing and the poor advice you give to people
AND STOP TELLING PEOPLE TO deliver pizzas I have done that off and on since 1986 You just tear up your car d
# Posted by Glenn Meredith | 12/18/08 1:46 AM
A person can go broke deliverig pizzas I know more about that than Thomas Moynahan knows about Dominoes pizza.
Stop telling people that crap!!!!!!! Been there done that. We will hold you responsible if a person tears up their car which they will!!!Do you know what they pay in mileage??
.27 a mile. Average run is 4 miles. Stop being an idiot. It is time for you to do it and tear up your car. Wait untill your transmission goes out and it costs 2,000 So what is your net profit then. Dave you are so vaniila and not a very smart Tenneseean!!!!
Grow up and get a life and work on improving your eyes and regrow your your white hair and get some color in it
# Posted by Glenn Meredith | 12/18/08 1:54 AM
I am a new listener and happen to listen nightly while I AM delivering pizzas as a second job. I educate myself with Daves word and I don't agree with "vanilla", but Glenn is right about delivering pizzas. I have a formula that I have come up with that figures in fuel, maintenance, time ect. I make less than min wage after expenses, some nights I pay to work. The only reason I keep on is that the boss kisses my butt, I work hard, I work when I want as much as I want. I figure some $$ is better than sitting at home making none.
# Posted by Steven | 12/18/08 3:44 PM
I think that the whole "delivering pizzas" thing is a metaphor more than anything. The point that Dave is trying to make is to pick up extra work to increase the income.

Sorry bout the 2x post!
# Posted by Andrew Jackson | 1/6/09 9:11 AM
A sign that someone lacks intelligence and coherence is when they resort to personal attacks as a form of insult. Just speak your case logically and that should be enough. Obviously it's not, so give Dave a break!
# Posted by Sam | 1/7/09 9:12 PM
What Dave teches is basic common sense. There are some that can't understand it.
Besides, this area is for pickup lines.
