Check Out What Whales Are Doing With QuantumScape

In a podcast, personal finance guru Dave Ramsey boldly declared that even if offered $1 billion at 0% interest for 10 years, he wouldn't take it. That's right, not even a billion dollars with no interest could tempt Ramsey to break his cardinal rule of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40764506/dave-ramsey-says-youll-never-win-with-money-while-paying-payments-the-real-cost-of-debt">never borrowing money</a>.
Why is he so adamant? Ramsey's belief comes from years of teaching and living by one simple idea: debt is a risk and he's not willing to take that chance. "I don't borrow money," Ramsey said confidently, staying true to the advice he's shared with millions through his books, radio show, podcast and financial classes.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Power of Staying Debt-Free</h2>
For Ramsey, living without debt is more than just a financial strategy – it's a way of life. He believes that borrowing compromises financial freedom no matter how favorable the terms. By avoiding debt, Ramsey says you eliminate risk and maximize your income's potential to build wealth and create security.
"Your most powerful wealth-building tool is your income," he explained. "When you don't have any debt, you've freed up cash flow to build wealth." So even with the hypothetical offer of $1 billion at 0% interest, Ramsey's focus on staying debt-free trumps the appeal of having a sizable amount of interest-free capital.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40883246/graham-stephan-challenges-dave-ramsey-on-whether-good-debt-can-build-wealth-are-we-underestimati">Graham Stephan</a>, host of The Iced Coffee Hour <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFrRAGKFbu0">podcast</a> where Ramsey made these comments, argued that borrowing $1 billion and investing it in a safe option like Treasury bonds – currently offering 5% yields – would generate massive returns. Ramsey's response? It's not just about the math; it's about principles.
"Mathematically, it might make sense," he admitted. "But I built a career and financial success on avoiding debt and I'm not about to change that now. Borrowing money is an unnecessary risk and I'm not interested in playing that game."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Philosophy Rooted in Experience</h2>
Ramsey's firm stance on debt is deeply personal. Early in his career, he amassed significant wealth through real estate investments, heavily leveraging debt to grow his portfolio. But when the market turned, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42514449/dave-ramsey-says-his-wife-wanted-to-leave-him-but-she-didnt-have-a-car-hitting-rock-bottom-finan">Ramsey lost everything</a> and declared bankruptcy. That experience shaped his financial philosophy and fueled his commitment to living debt-free.
Trending: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
The same tenets still guide Ramsey Solutions, his financial education empire, today. The expansive Franklin, Tennessee, campus that serves as the company's headquarters was constructed entirely without borrowed funds.
Ramsey's message is that wealth comes from discipline, intentionality and patience, not shortcuts or leveraging debt. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/12/42380649/dave-ramsey-warns-23-year-old-homebuyer-dont-skip-this-critical-step-before-buying-your-first-house">Baby Steps program</a>, which has helped millions of people get out of debt and build financial security, is based on this philosophy. From saving a $1,000 emergency fund to paying off all non-mortgage debt and investing 15% of your income for retirement, the steps prioritize stability and long-term wealth over quick fixes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sticking to His Guns</h2>
While rejecting a hypothetical $1 billion may seem drastic to some, it's simply a matter of consistency. Everything he has taught for decades would be contradicted if he accepted that money. He has personally witnessed the devastating effects debt can have on people's lives and he's unwilling to go there (again) for any amount of money.

Meanwhile, TheCryptoBull <a href="https://x.com/TheCryptoBull77/status/1872164531918733585">speculated</a> that Floki's ETP launch might set the stage for further ETF discussions in 2025.
Community News: In a proposal from Dec. 25, Floki has announced plans to launch an ETP in partnership with an asset manager and ETP issuer. 
This move positions Floki as the second meme coin, after Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), to offer a live ETP. 
The proposed product is slated for listing on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland's largest stock exchange, in early Q1 2025.
Unlike Dogecoin's ETP, which is listed on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market, Floki's debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange is seen as a significant step up in credibility and appeal.
To fund the ETP&#8217;s launch, the Floki team has <a href="https://snapshot.box/#/s:floki-inu.eth/proposal/0x50aa497ab85e56c5ec16cff70acd4e5146b333db06e5528496c931db4c62cbe6">proposed</a> a DAO vote to allocate liquidity. 
Of the 16.3 billion FLOKI tokens held in a designated wallet, a portion will be used for ETP liquidity, while the rest will be burned upon the ETP&#8217;s launch.
The Floki team's ETP aims to make the cryptocurrency accessible to institutional and retail investors in a secure and regulated manner. 
The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and crypto markets, offering a transparent vehicle for holding FLOKI.

Breaking Down Prosperity Bancshares: 9 Analysts Share Their Views

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chinese-ev-stocks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese electric vehicle stocks</a>, including NIO Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), Li Auto Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LI#NASDAQ">LI</a>), XPeng Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>), and ZEEKR Intelligent Technology Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZK#NYSE">ZK</a>), are trading upwards Thursday amid reports indicating that EV sales will likely surpass traditional cars in China for the first time in 2025 beating Europe, the U.S. and Japan.
China will likely sell over 12 million cars in 2025 versus 5.9 million in 2022, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f12db2a1-a221-47f0-8d3e-723a8b49f97c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> estimates from investment banks and research groups estimates.

Meanwhile, sales of traditional cars will likely decline to below 11 million in 2025 from 14.8 million in 2022, Sri Lanka Guardian <a target="_blank" href="https://slguardian.org/chinas-ev-sales-to-overtake-traditional-cars-sooner-than-expected/" rel="noreferrer noopener">cites</a> the FT.
China&#8217;s EV sales trajectory bears testimony to its progress in domestic technology and ability to secure a global supply chain for lithium and cobalt. Additionally, the scale of China&#8217;s manufacturing abilities has rendered EVs a more affordable option for consumers, Sri Lanka Guardian cites Robert Liew of Wood Mackenzie. He expects China to accomplish its target of EVs accounting for 50% of car sales by 2035, ten years ahead of schedule.
Per the FT report, Industry forecasts indicate that Chinese factories producing traditional engine cars will face an almost nonexistent domestic market within a decade as rising protectionism and uncertainty over government subsidies challenge Western carmakers.
Yuqian Ding of HSBC told the FT that China&#8217;s EV juggernaut is indomitable despite a slowdown in growth from a very high base due to oversupply, competition, and a price war.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42671739/chinese-stocks-surge-on-stimulus-plans-to-counter-us-tariff-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">Earlier this week</a>, reports indicated China ramping up stimulus to shield from potential U.S. tariffs. The country is eying &nbsp;3 trillion yuan ($411 billion) in special treasury bonds in 2025, compared to 2024&#8217;s 1 trillion yuan, to drive consumption through subsidy programs, equipment upgrades, and investments in advanced sectors.
Price Actions: At the last check on Thursday, NIO is up 2.06% at $4.715. LI is up 3.86%, XPEV is up 3.12%, and ZK is up 8.48%.
