toxic monoculture too that's out there- and this is the
ultimate millennial, jimsie guide to the things I used,
say, but I show them in such a boomer way that this is actually incredible. I laughed
loud reading the manuscript. I was very impressed with the level of
research that you and the team of done to put into the book the detail the back up. I mean

that are out there in
sure why it is so persuasive that you just can't do stupid stuff anymore. After reading the book, I appreciate it

course, your millionaire rams
pays. You may and ass you respond. No, he does. I wish he did a very nice day. No truth is, I was. I was annoyed
one guy with a normal job in marketing roles. I wasn't a personality up until a few years back and so my wife,

our future. Along with my.
youtube, humor and snark and out someone said today, a good deal,
the snark I released at the first chapter. I read it on video and, as a comment said, I forgot, I was reading your reading a book. It felt like another one of your youtube videos and it was the best complement. That's because I tried to write road is its youtube on paper. I didn't want to develop a route canal reading a financial book of everything you never learned about money but wish you did, and so I tried to make it tory
I would enjoy reading a book, and I hope I confess that you did

So all of those things that people are saying on Tik tok
and are saying on youtube and are saying on instagram

lasting dave. I'm not gonna, lie writing a little long reading. It, though I was laughing my boat off, that's good enough just to funny, and it we had to go to the printing.
world and invent a newt bond for the book.
Have officially copyright
now the snark font, that's right, and so the book is written and snort
and though they usually happens in the parent statical her. We looked for the sarcasm thought for mine, but we couldn't get it so that we get the snark font for you.
and show it that's a batch of publishing, breakthrough, that's huge and and Dave you wrote the forward, which is very kind of you had enough. You are forced to, but it was very nice of you to do that.
I have your name on. I forced myself to oceans, I own the company right out from ramsey press you, I guess you might as well heh, but I was
to do that, and I I you know
the ceo, not as an owner personality. I read all of our manuscripts of course and comment on them and rather bluntly
to each of the personalities before they before it makes it through an egg
procession and then at but long before it goes to print right, show that
I get to read. You know. Doktor John bologna spoken on, like this book is gonna rock p.
World. I'm anxiety, I mean billion on anxious lifeless.

stuff out around here.
george rooted- and we just say, that's: ok, we print it. Now we all go through
I beat the snot out of it and brought writing a book kind of a brutal process. It ran. I beat the snot out of me, yet what I mean other people were pretty straightforward.
Yeah I mean absolutely. We got
standards around here about that's what I'm saying is. It was worth it too, to make myself better and in write a book that I wish I had at twenty five. You know even at thirty and this,
But that you can give to
you know, even if you're older
book is going to be one of those like what I know you know it. Lets
in forty in your seventies,
if you're seventy? This is a great book for you, because the font is perfectly science. We made sure of that. Only catch or Jana keeps irrelevant, because I have a lot of pop culture. References dave miss this. There are one sentence that includes for taylor, swift, song, titles and dave. Didn't even catch it,
I meant that hot it, but I just really
com is a year in meeting your swiftly, no
admitting that I'm not as culturally irrelevant as you think I am, but I didn't care dang it there is that so
They there's plenty of punish, narc snark in here, including tighter. Now he was a starkey.
Taylor is okay. Trust me, I don't want. The swift she's coming out from his serious truth is George exposes. The moat exposes the most common money, myths that are out there and the excuses that are out there
and he takes his own head on credit cards games investing.
Apps mortgage mythology. It's all there.
If you wish, you were taught in high school and are some eu people, people that are bitching about be in a boomer all the time when we have the answer for you, it's called george

George Gammell ramsay personality is my co host today. Thank you for joining us aaa eight to five five to two
I've amber is in houston, texas, I,
how are you
Well dave! I had a bit of a heart heartbreak, I'm I'm calling for your advice regarding my father's finance to be okay. What's going on and he well, he has three
some credit cards in the total of twenty six thousand dollars, he's fallen for every
and he baby one year old, had fallen from meda
nigerian prince bridge at this point.
Were intervening in its finances, though his old. We can help with his bill. We can help what he's got a mortgage covered with social security
and are twenty three hundred approximately he brings them
thousand ninety one dollars. The total
I had occurred outstanding amount of twenty six thousand.
And we don't know at this point whether he should declare bankruptcy or we should let those credit cards go into default and try to negotiate with a collector. I'm just not sure how to help with
I'm guessing has no money
no money. He brings in nineteen. Twenty six and social secure
what are the ones that I only worth a lot
the keeper at the house, for a five. Fifty probably-
what she o on it very forty intact as he and Texas. Now Oregon
Ok, well,
I am not, I happen to know texas loggers it on you,
Will I dont know organs law, but I suspect it's a standard a fairly norm
state, which would mean that they avenged,
could take a lean against his house if they slew him, ok,
if you don't pay them and they sue him, they take a lien against his house. He has no money to pay them. There's no money in this budget night and he has no money. Does he have a car? No, not one
and now he has a vehicle, but my brother gave it to them. It's on. It's last legs like a thousand dollars or something yes under three yeah. Okay, alright and you have siblings.
yeah. Ok, how are the ship links as far as money? Do you have any do they have any can? Can we get it?
can we get a group together and chip in and come up with timber
and unsettled twenty six thousand dollars for the bad credit card that, yes, the let it go by.
Had? Let it go bad and then go shuttle it before they take him
what did like a lean on his mouth. To go. Bad
he's. A man and the environment are the minimum with what
you gave me, you can barely pray, the house payment and eat way. He had been working physically,
as anyone trying to make a payment, so he
bring a little bit to cover by means of making up the different it go to court
and and then just fight it out with settle it out, sell out for a quarter on the dollar for cash, destroy him,
at it. Shall we can't get any more in the process? Let's
because he living alone
right now we plan on living man for years, but rather we ve taken I've taken over his finances, which credit credit cards
he had every spyware on his computers were turned to get rid of
What's a mortgage payment because my worry is: is expenses keep goin up here,
the same amount of money. You guys are chicken in for the next ten twenty years
trotted supported lifestyle which ain't much. Why not? What might happen then? Maybe he to sell a house and make other
events for a train that this is a family home and so on its it's nostalgic to men, mortgages, seventeen, fifty six to answer the question
also. He finished two two thousand come again sometime six on the mortgage. He doesn't mind the mighty heat and does he now
And so we are putting in a thousand dollars to cover his bow and
Well, then, as now, it was gonna get replace. With this core memory
and so had rather sell the house and have him retire with dignity than have yearnest.
Tied up in this keeping them in that awful situation. Your pay him a thousand.
Yes, my brother and I are your brother in law. That is just two of you. There are three of us, but only two that are financially stable, okay and
the arm, you have a rich
agreement where you recoup that when he passes before we start split, not house equity up now
who thought about putting any trust in getting the name the home into our names? To he can't help
we're talking about your other sibling shouldn't get a third until you get.
Your thousand dollars a month back
haven't yeah yeah
you're right, I'm right
you're gonna to later, and it's gonna get is gonna, get real testy later when they
that doesn't have any money. Thanks that she had the lot hour, he had a lotta when the house, with a per se, on papas dodd. Oh so please get this dialogue and the right thing to do for me
Surely is sell the house and help him
make a transition into another place. They pay cash for any pay off these debts and we put him on a budget
the right thing to do. Mathematically, what I'm dusk
being with an eighty two year old is very, very difficult. Yet emotionally family house nostalgia all the things we are talking about here.
So what probably will happen as you all well limp, along feeding their should? A thousand dollars a month, annual
in and get ten thousand dollars together to knock out the twenty six thousand dollars and bad old credit card, that his credit will be
droid when he passes you'll sell the house recoup the ten thousand dollars, plus the thousand dollars a month that you put in before you split with yours,
who's, not putting anything in, and that's all in writing now, if you're,
Linda freed it to that tune. Just
keep him in the house.
The only reason you're doing that by the way, there's only one reason you're doing their best to keep him in the house.
so. The rain that you're putting on your brother's finances in your finances to do all of that is only to keep your dad in this house.
which, if you ve, got two million dollars. It's no big deal. If you got
thousand boxing you're, throwing a thousand of it. That's that's a lot
we have a million and for a one case, the plane
but our daily. You know my budget is then yeah. We have fifty. We follow. Europe
and we yeah fifteen, going into
my area, you ve gotta, go, do your paper work now and if dad will not give
sean over full power of attorney and
all decision making rights to you and your brother and yours,
sure will not understand. Are your brother? Whatever the third one is agreed to you recoup before you split?
in writing, then any
those in this discussion and we shall house. I understand-
crystal so clear. Everyone needs to have every t crossed every eye, dotted and
Everyone is on the same page and discussing is cause your dad's of his right mind. He's justice
to build a scams. Yes, he's not he's not like him
third stage dementia- something right not yet so now and
is eighty to show statistically you're under there.
for two years or so
I don't know what his shoulders like, but he could do it for ten georgia right could do it for twenty georgia's right. Those are possibilities, but statistically
You know what we're not doing this for a long long time and the other thing you I would
real, clear honest. This is what we're gonna do for now. We were
serve the right to decide to sell the house later, but you
You may reach the end of rope on there's your husband. Might your brother might want a mat or been husband?
if it were your wife than your in law and you see financially. This is a poor decision that would really,
I don't think it's for your decision. Cause you're gonna, get your money back out of the equity.
And basically your cat you're, putting a strain on your cash flow, but you're nice not costing you anything at the end of the story and the strain on
cash flow is in return for your dad getting live out his last days and in his whole family home. That's the trader,
and I don't necessarily think that's a bad trade as long as
We bodies on board and
we signing up for this, but dad
one more stupid scam we're done
sister brother, you don't a greater.
recoup we're done
you're not going to live on a budget and work and pay your house payment and you're going to and I'm going to manage your money you're going to sign over power of attorney. We're done we're done there.
Nurse are stipulations to play in this through and putting a strain on our family

If you didn't know, we help companies, big companies and small companies with that by providing
in hr benefit to them called smart dollar that allows them to have their team.
Members go through our curriculum, its kind alike, financial, patient, work, shorter, but alive
but I mesa his face. Teaching you out a bit on budget out again.
But that I live on less than you make all that kind of stuff
and I and it's fun- it's taught by me in georgian rachel and so on, and so pretty incredible one of,
companies that has had all of their team go through smart dollar and provide,
it to them as a benefit at no cost to the employee. Is you hall, you also great company
the way we ve got a lot of interaction with them over the last couple of years. They do a great job and so forth.
I'll team members, that's translated to combined
point seven million dollars in debt paid and in dollars saved. That means that those team,
spurs are not stressed about money shall, while their work their thinking about work instead of mastercard Tuttle,
Productivity goes up. That's other stuff works, so this is the deal. Shall all of that
or our debt free scream- is from a
all three member and
chris and jessica. Where do you guys? Live oak grove? California?
Ok, so you're, not in the home office officers, phoenix right, correct, ok, go how long you been with you all twenty three years: wow! That's all
long time, so
They come in and go da da da da smart dollars here. Had you ever heard of us when they presented all this? No, I have not, oh so it's all brand new, yes, so company benefit which kind
could be like a low above and I roll
like what is theirs? What are you
as yellow snake oil at what I would do. Did you do that moment?
that's what I did you he's is someone with the gift of cynicism. Good for you,
but you gave it a shot anyway, but you gave it a shot at christmas, as okay companies provide an doesn't cost anything we might as well try to do what you tell her Chris. I was.
a conference when I learned about it, and so when I got home my bright idea, let's get out of debt when
she's the one it does all the books
so. I come home with great idea now. You're, a genius yeah, ok,
and I looked at me like no- you don't
stay away from my stuff I gotta figured out so how to jail, decide to actually take the class. It was more of
me watching you to listen to the podcast gas, get her stuck in car to listen to it as well, so you kind of-
ample some of our stuff in the market and then that
it will do to plug back into smart dollar. You, oh, ok, very cool suggestion
what convince you to actually try it at rather actual smart dollar thing which you're watching you tube. Listen the pot gastric. What happened it didn't cost anything. So what could it hurt? Ah
except that they might have some weird ideas
probably not argue in our both small but yeah we're relations.
At least we're not because I'm betcha we were on the same team. Aren't we? Yes, we were alright. So as long as you both wanted to get out of debt you're like alright he's making sense. Let's do this thing absolutely.
much that did. You guys have combined
We had we're tuner ninety one thousand dollars. I wanted that include we,
rental house that had an hundred eighty thousand dollars. We have it
travel that was about seven thousand remaining and seventy three thousand and credit cards
why the credit card for kick in your, but yes,
rejoice all around it shall royal house or pay it off. We stole battle solvent march of twenty.
Twenty on me, my birthday present the drop on the timing, the one thousand percent yes well, thank you Jesus.
even my prayers were to be answer. That was that day, because the people that were
in the home were in the restaurant
the interests of industry, which means they lost their jobs,
value pandemic. Oh, my god,
so, how long did it take to pay off two hundred? Ninety one dollar shoulders out with one eighty, three, seventy five,
the car dead, then then, yet
plow through the other, how long did it take to pay off that other day, the remaining twenty one months? Twenty one months good for you good
Well, because you hall, all of you haulage going through this or treat you all like retreat,
Ramsay team member when they're doing there
rich green, we're not gonna! Ask your income goes all your boy!
These are going to be watching this and they're going to go. I know I Chris makes now and we're not doing that so we're going to get
I give you a lot give you a break on that, but congratulations. What do you do for a living jessica?
raise our children, yeah awesome, yes, full time,
the engineer I love it good, for you are theo, shout
that you went through smart dollar and you pay off.
No ninety one thousand, including the sale of a hundred. Ninety five path, travelled writer and credit cards by the hard way. Why? I guess
Probably a little equity. Are the rental right to throw at it, but forty three thousand look: I slept jumped up some
But in the rest of you just budgeted throat, rhine what're, you tell people the key to
Dave cut up your credit cards, sweden to get him think people
by just really cold turkey
no, I wasn't sure yeah I got a lotta just so
get on paper and really getting sick at how much
we had and going what? What did we buy
where is all they were Lascaux yeah. So
wishes? It was freedom. Finally, getting
App using a budget and senior money is actually going somewhere late on one of the ago, so they every dollar up yet yeah. Look at getting a transition to putting it where we actually need the money to go versus the restaurant here, amazon, their target whatever by getting on a budget and actually known where every dollar goes allowed us to kind of get a raise. As we cut one credit card, we have more money and maxine knower
rowan kept that's snowball gone controls are gone. Was there an extra layer of accountability with
team members and hr was kind of like alright. We gotta do this thing and I think the the kids were the biggest motivation, knowing that they're getting older, that, if we didn't do this college, was, can be a lot harder to do and setting them up for success. So they weren't going down the same path as us was kind of the motivation to keep going and get it done even faster, because all the other ways we did didn't work at the strong. Why changing the family tree yeah and
We got a phone call this morning from our daughter to get her first acceptance letter for college, so learning, timing, gambia, while we gotta
those two: may we get a ride? Those checks and I was in sight- was zeros on the end. That's gonna opportunity. You have opportunities so chris. What do you do it? You hop marking company press,
oversee the region of all the EU halls and are district that at work? And I got you ok cool and you
at twenty three years, how many team members have you all have total? I believe about forty thousand okay yeah, pretty substantial company, to say the least: may we all think of it as the truck or the trailer from the consumer viewpoint right, but it's a big
if the cab company yeah. So as a leader than twenty three years in that company you've now personally experienced this. You are able to concentrate on work because you don't have two hundred and seventy one. Ninety one thousand hours worth of debt hanging over you and you're now congruent with your spouse, are working together,
of her doing it by herself and then are you trying to figure out what's happening,
and, and her wishing you would have helped and all that stuff right. So now you till you see the benefit personally, but I am curious cause. I don't get to ask this very often and
some doubt what I'm doing something and leadership I personally get to experience it like you have
but I also immediately see if the person downstream does it, how it's going benefit them and benefit the company, because I actually think do you see that,
the the stuff we've been talking about with productivity and some of the team members getting they're getting their lives back. Yeah cause we're able to focus more on what we're doing at work versus at home, and I'm able to talk to my staff on different things, with my team on ways that they can better their personal life, because you get to know all your team members and get to know about their family kind of their financial. If they're talking about going to buy a car or I gotta leave early, I gotta go, do a refinance or I got
the second job, that kind of thing now at least you got a place to go to discuss it and why to go, you guys were proud of you,
go and
our salute to the: u hall, leadership team for letting wonderful people, aggression, jessica, go through smart dollar and pay
after one and ninety one thousand dollars and that count it what's era debt free scream? Three too,

george camel ramsay personality is my co host today, open phones aaa eight to five five two to five nick is,
greenville south carolina high nick welcome to the refugee issue, cases and sure, what's up
so am. I am curious how I should go doubts on starting to tackle a small
stood alone mountain
I'm when I'm about
we thousand a month after expenses, I have about
nine hundred spare on some student once just started, but first payment last month,
I'm wanting to know
Should I
do the snowballs should I be tackled with an avalanche method on and how to go,
about doing this. All the while properly preparing for a taxi design. The independent contractor go
What's the total stood loaned at that, you have.
I'm around thirty three thousand. What do you do
and uber driver. My college down had just recently graduated my bachelors taken around the area. What are you doin bachelors and what,
I'm psychology I'll be applying for a masters clinical council.
On the matter. Hopefully, if I get a now star august, harry gonna pay for that.
I am thankfully, on the g I bill. I guides most mice bachelor's.
Well, all my bachelor paid with joy bill, the of thirty three thousand was
pretty much living expenses over
for years to the cost of living, not
We are now working on I'll, be able to have eighteen months
out of my to your programme for my masters still covered under the g I bill due to how I
de my school
and I will have to do- one semester out far more student loans nick
you're you're, new to the whole ramsay thing
minor loss. Why are you so yeah yeah? I know this by the questions are asking in the statement for making. So what I discovered- and we have discovered years ago, is the fastest way to financial peace. Peace in your finances, the fastest way to wealth, is to avoid dead,
cost, because your most powerful wealth building tool is your income.
When you committed all the sally freaking. May you you destroy your piece and that's why you're calling us cause your nose?
peace. Right now now, when you restart whether student loans go back on deferral, I'm assuming so yeah
as long as I'm an active student, the I shelter and show so what that tells me as the
first thing we're can talk about is how you can get your income up, so you can cover future living expenses and keep it up and no whining just work. Ok, you're, just gonna have to work
and because otherwise, you're gonna create another mountain of certain loan. Bad because you didn't work, show you
have to work. While you work on your masters, oh well, by the way
Almost everyone had a job when they were in college. Almost everyone worked when they were in college
some were smarter about it made more than others, but all
everyone they went to college worked, I did I worked forty.
Sixty hours a week when I was in school, ok back when the dollar
was run the earth, but, but anyway,
so nothing wrong with working. You can work and you can do a master's degree in psychology and not enough
the problem with your goal, you're going to need the masters to get licensed if you're going to move into therapy for years
linda counselling in mostar,
concluding south carolina, so you're gonna have to get the masters its permission to play its table stakes. So are you going
and do that, let the g I pay for it and by the way, thank you for your service in order to get the genes
taxpayer, I'm more than happy to pay for your school. In return,
we should. Thank you show you go, do that, but by god,
your tail in gear and pay for cash for that last semester? They're talking about its hanging out there, that
dangling semester and by god
yet enough money and that you have bologna and the house. You have bologna sandwiches. If
you ain't a wish sandwich two pieces of bread and wish. I had some meat. Ok,
just going do whatever it takes to get through this with no death. You follow
you follow my intensity here. Yes, ok, but
daddy's behaviour thing. You kind
outlined that a little bit in your process show your face.
To go right now is com
physicians! Gold do no more harm. Your first
goal is finish your master's, no more debt. That's more! I do. I do think. I started that Pra and ah the first step to that. I am in a debt consolidation program. I'm in so that's two.
of my credit cards have already been cut up and no longer be news. Yeah, ok, sure that the double
being we're, gonna live on. What we make and then step to step. One is no more debt finish. The masters right with
If we can find any more money above that- and we will
start reducing debt,
Then we would use the debt snowball, not the debt avalanche.
The reason is the dead avalanche, normally
doesn't work.
Because you're in psychology, it's a feedback, loop, ok
when you pay off the smallest dat, it encourages you dislike going
on a diet and I lost wait. They avalanches,
Go on a diet and gain three pounds a first week
getting no traction. I get no positive feedback. Loop doing
urged me emotionally too in two
stay engaged in a difficult, behavior change.
It's the rat, pushing the lever, needs some freakin cheese, Ella watch all we are
and so that the reason that snowball works is feedback loop. It's not. The math is
modestly incorrect does repay.
It off smallest balance, the largest ballots, regardless of the interest rate, but the differences math
equally it has a much higher probability of completion.
and the debt out, I chose an almost zero probability completely of completion because there's no feedback issue, there's no feedback loop
so that the feedback is so long that no one staging engaged, and so the pragmatic probability of completion goes down shall overall, technically speaking,
if you want to get really nerdy about the math, when you build and probably
of completion. The debt chernobyl
actually mathematically more correct, then the avalanche, but
I don't work now, I'm getting real nerdy, an intellectual, but it yeah dave's right. I had a very similar situation to unik. I was thirty six thousand dollars in debt ten years ago and my student loans- and I thought
no will make sense to do the highest interests first, when I broke him all down- and it turns out
I started using their debts, noble method. I actually got this little thing called hope. If I can,
One out I can knock the next one out. It's a little. Bigger cannot be the next one out is a little bigger. I start freeing up these payments. They start making traction and eighteen
later. I was debt free. I
no that I'd be saying the same thing today. If I had used the avalanche method and georgie even bite off his own, much
indeed our future down their neck. But so I think what needs to happen is what we win. Add in life is the things we caution,
right on if we want to run a half marathon, we have to concentrate on the training to prepare to do that. If you want to grow
white. Without any more that you have to concentrate on that and that involves keeping here
no down in your income up- and these are the things were
concentrating on after this discussion,
today that you in georgia
have had an show that that would be our thing work the debt snowball, but truthfully idle.
expect you to make a lot of progress on it in the next two years
because your main focus is for nick to grow.
Joy with no more debt of any kind,
and live on. Let you know, make enough money to live on and finish that last dangling semester on the end there, the tingling semester, I that can be like a blog but yeah, but the ah yeah that that
that you can do this neck I'll tell what we're gonna send your copy. The book, the total money make over, which
my best showing book average about ten million copies out their it'll show
exactly how to do what we're talking about and you can play through and do this
it is just making that paradigm shift and go and I'm gonna try a proven plan instead of
intellect my way out of this as huge when you can just commit to a process. Yeah it's
you know behaviour follows
leaf amber
if does come from a feedback, loop believers hope right and so
I have to believe it's gonna work and then I'll engage in the sacrifices in order to win
I know- and I want you to believe that you can do what we just told you to do. This is the rams issue

my brand
mark. As in toledo, I mark welcome to the ramsay, show dave thanks for enemy chirp. What's up,
My fiance weren't a bit of a situation. She took her car to get her oil changed at one
instant oil, strange voices and
they didn't put enough oil on the car, so she laughed and she drew back and then start having problems took back there and they talk
but after all oil, she drove it
little bit more and the engine boola, so we took it, we had to do a shop, the shops
was due to lack of oil. They fared contractor insurance. Contact bubbling by all quaint aren't churns company denied
climb, because they said it was because of maintenance, lack of made
we got a family and his daughter, larger
and valvoline is saying thing: they did everything right and they put enough oil car
Now twelve thousand
hours on end
sitting at a sharp and it needs a ten thousand dollar engine and both for their insurances are saying: it's not our fault.
What is not your insurance? You don't have insurance for blown engines, there's no such thing
so it, but it is valid for mind. You have a legal problem. Yes, have you contact in return
Yeah yeah my friend an attorney and is in the car industry
an attorney and ease, and he can't really prove it
might be kind of a work, though
I have every hope got. You need a different lawyer, then your errand, ok, because their theirs
two issues involved with a strategy here. Issue.
number one is being able to prove it. But we have
consumer here the says:
evelyn didn't put valvoline oil in the car blew up priests
whole equation, there's nothing wrong with the car. Prior to that day, the the ah the mechanic has given the expert has said the car blew up because it didn't have enough oil right after you went to the oil place. Okay, this is not that difficult in equation right. That's what I call
from a legal perspective. It's not ok! So now a valvoline has to decide if they want to spend twenty five.
In dollars and legal fees, because you're going after their throat or if they want
just fix the car, which is what they should do.
and the way they decide. That is your shoe there, but an
they looked down and go out. The scots serious so
you need to do is call the the store manager. I showed you ve already had a discussion or six with him. Yes, look at and say I need your legal department
For my attorney to get in touch with because
getting rate a shoe you personally, I'm gonna.
Sue the guy who didn't put the plugin personally, I'm gonna shoot
store in the franchise you personally and I've already trash,
valvoline in front of twenty two million people on the ramsay show, and this
It's gonna get worse for you guys because I mean
what you're describing you're, not calling up like some drama queen and you're, not you're, not act and all crazy you're, just describing a
ten dollar in our god input string can all plug back in hello. Well, what end there saying their guns were.
our and they haven't on baby here that the oil got but in their but then
I declare it magical.
What did you use the disappearing oil? I didn't know you had that when I took it back, the guy put more oil in the car
yeah, I'm possible. If it was a proper amount, it would have been spilling out through the manifold and blown out through the muffler when you overfill a car with oil
didn't blow up front too much oil. What type of returning should I look for
me. How do I go about finding mean and angry? Ok yeah, I'm serious!
because yours what's gonna happen, what I'm describing to you as you are going
becoming larger hassle to them than they
want to deal with, and so they're gonna fix the car the squeaky we'll gets.
greece must, I think we need a more often river quadrant
oil in this case, but yeah
I need to get someone that's going to get all up in their stuff and say: listen, we're going to sue you and we're going to make a spectacle, love you and these corporations cave like yesterday's minute

george campbell ramsey personality is my co host today, open phones have triple eight eight to five. Five two to five jacob is in fort worth: texas, hi Jacob. How are you.
Our days, thanks for taking my call, I'm doing very well good. How can we help today? So my question, for you is, if gone back to school, to pursue my bachelors is a smart use of my time. Do you have any degrees? Currently I do
the long story short I men coming archibald time. Am I a as those used in requiring spewed engineering, which I got off both to wishing waiver academic merit, dollar ship and color grants during the pandemic, and while I was able to graduate without a diamond students the great and so this particular opportunity has come up the war, I confess, do my fax, verse and music business
pretty generous discounts and from other incentives that will allow me to go through the entire duration part time and my entire financial obligation was. I come out to about. Maybe brief outline. What are you changing horses for? Well, I can put it is its bed? Is that now I know I work
more time, but I will have for part time jobs. On top of that, you are minority work there, you're cool thomas. What would you do? I'm not production
manager and an auto engine.
recording, engineer, recording engineer for innovation and alcohol or, on a part time, jobs, part time, job and related fields for fun or are you turning earn? Some extra income, though the part time jobs are for extra income by
also offers more of them are good. Ok, remarry again what you just said. Your current degree was in a kind of rating.
when you engineering, oh ok,
so are you wanting to do something totally different? Now, just music businesses want to get the music side instead of there are the business side right bow. Yet probably the big big thing is that is being able to expand and advance
I career essentially, and to broaden my knowledge on the music as a part of it, and- and I can call to come from a background in a commercial, real estate management and after getting bite off. It was my wife that she told me to go back to college, to study something
like as though I chose acquaint you'd engineering and I've been busy knocked up ever response, and yes, I put in a lot of long hours, but I've never been any less stress and it's never been a stressful job.
doing what I do. I'm just worried. This isn't gonna, give you what you want, but you get on. The other
I do this and you have a degree in you were able to pay for it, but it's not anywhere closer to what you want to do
so we got a lotta music business degrees that work your aims solutions and we don't have a music department.
So I tell you that to say it's not gonna, just magically give you this
if a dream job in music business just because you have the degree and wireless relationships and networking and those kinds of opportunities. If you can do, if you have done calmer,
also deals in the past and you
do audio engineering
You don't need a music business degree to do business in music, snot nets,
I'm, not permission to ply their not going
teach you anything! In that degree, that's gonna be earth shatteringly different. The bill.
in principle, you are already aware of function in the music business as well,
And on the business of music childish bay show, I you know if you come in our schools
kid and year, twenty two and you want to go
into the music, the business
side of the music business,
than a music business degree might be, but a business degree also would just do it. You don't have to know anything about music. You schedule do business and coming so
and the thing is you don't get joy from that anyway? What you get joy from is actually producing right, yeah
And you know you don't need a music business degree to grow your production career.
So no I wouldn't do it that's fair. I wouldn't do I cause. I don't think what you
do need, is you do need and what you're willing to engage in is to increase your knowledge base, but a degree is not necessary if
wanna, go audits from clashes on accounting and marketing, and you wanna takes a few business. If there's a
Gold curriculum that has a music business, actual
subject matter and you will take a couple: those classes- that's fine, but that's far different than engaging in a full degree programme
and, not least in that are necessary. In order.
some tools in your belt that you don't have in your belt. Now that enable you to
those next steps, but these
skin. The actual degree itself is not is not the door.
It's not the door opened. The knowledge is the door opener.
see you see that makes them yet like five classes instead of thirty is the difference.
Even in those classes? You're not gonna, learn everything you need some of it you're just going to get your foot in the door and you're going to learn and be mentored,
word by whoever's, leading you in that particular area. But I dont send
that you're wanting to run a racket record label now and the end a big part of it. Is you
the event. My knowledge in the music as part of the end, that and in on end of organ donation out of work for is also offering that, if I'd democracy
Then there are on the right any additional as it can. They be occurred with that you'll budgeting,
free domain. You do invest your time to do it. I think you need to have ache
clear goal for what the career and job is not for what the degree is and then then church on now
just not assured for that, I make you. We have
but to be a national is george said. I grew up in
well, I've got several very closely,
that own and run record labels and built in sold them, and I you know that
I'm afraid I know more about it than I want to know,
and I just I don't run into people run around there, the girl, you know I wouldn't listen.
You come to work at my record label in the leadership
because a music business great zero times have I heard something zero, it's more like? Can they get there?
done in know, it's like any other small business arrangement, and so can
you actually be effective and if
need some more knowledge to be effective, get the knowledge, but do not take the time.
Of your life to go, collect more degrees. That's not going to make your life better. I wouldn't do it thanks for the call open found a triple
eight to five five, two to five joseph some grand rapids high joseph how're, you again
thanks so much for Michael sure, what's up,
well, we are about eleven weeks pregnant with our second child. Yeah. Ah George didn't get any sleep last night either xos did
We've only been doing the baby steps a couple of months. I know that you're supposed to stop baby step to an m b, a start setting up, but
just wondering: when, should I start shaving and like how much is it like a specific and when we start the baby steps
Oh you can in the next eight months are seven months in your case. Ok at cultures thing! If you look, let's
much, could you say if you went crazy, like ten thousand bucks
I me one thousand bucks by which, in the middle of your team, so if you stack up
Fifteen thousand, instead of paying down debt by fifteen thousand seven months from today
mommy and become come. The hospital you're right, fifteen thousand hours worth of checks and pay off at fitting does not for the day
that you would have paid off during this seven,
each other, wash revolver me yeah. What is it? What did you lose the interest on that debt during that time? That's all unwanted!
game huge pile of money and peace of mind, while by reason the. Why sure
that's why we try to do that? That's our reasoning! It's not sampled or not!
yeah, I read so delicate specific goal, which is,
he's a mine and does not just in case
and I'm gonna turn around drain every dime of it, but one thousand as soon as mama baby come home from the hospital healthy and at the minimum

sit down with credit union and talk to the manager and here's how it sounds. Ok, Mr Mann injure you have,
a nineteen thousand dollar car alone in a thirteen thousand dollar personal alone, because you have a thirty two thousand dollar car
loan that only as nineteen thousand hours were the collateral show your unsecured right now for thirteen thousand, if you have to take the car back and re poet,
You're gonna be on for even more than that.
This is u telling the manager this you following me and so
Our asking you to allow us to sign a note for the difference they mounted the car won't bring, gets the strain
off of your bad alone. Out of him, my boyfriend and
Oh you're doing is admitting that this loan is only partially collateralized. He already doesn't have a collateralized loan cause cars upside down. Thirteen k you follow me
explanatory sometimes just say that out loud could sometimes a credit union manager hasn't thought this through and if
I thought it through than they would go out. I have a much
higher likelihood of getting my thirteen thousand dollar amount that were upside down.
If I let this guy out of the nineteen by showing the car cause the thirteenth, not collateralized anyway
then you will reduce your problem to a thirteen thousand, not a problem,
and then you and said boyfriend take six jobs and pay off the thirteen thousand before you pay off anything else and never shine alone again with someone you're not married to.
See I didn't yelled at her that had good comedy or zama storytime, so relaxing yeah. Does that make sense to you later? Will you let me that's the only way I know to get you out other than you guys. Both go work sixty eighty hours a week and come up with thirteen k, yeah? Okay, how outshine that he can't keep the car and- and you guys,
not had this discussion and he's being a little boy and has an admitted it yet he's doing harm to the person who claims to love you because he can't pay the bill.
We know that because he hasn't been paying the bill and it smashed up. Your credit am, am I missing something now now. What does he make a year and unique about fifty five hours or so,
Our was a bad purchase anyway, my by a thirty two thousand, our car. When you make fifty five is out of line. Even if you pay cash for maoist did
but anything down on this or is not note nothing down with a co. Her right
negative equity familiar or into a dinner yeah. That's why you're
Thirteen upside down already! That explains it. There's no way you be
the foreign the whole. Otherwise, oh, unless it was the world's worst car. But what kind of car is it.
it's our twenty twenty one. Honda is along for much longer, so worse has had on this lisa. What's your site, I'm thought. Will we actually been
it's been trying to get rid of it he's on board with getting rid of all gone, but he is not able to do much and he's relying on me because I have the better credit
yeah you two before I came along!
been it yet, but he's
behind and I'm just afraid free that is gonna, start being reported, and then it's gonna take both of our credit worth its going to
sure and
the main time. What you ve got is a hard that income ratio which escape
from getting the other loans right. Yeah. That's not the damage does not damage credit. You gotta the debt. So what do you make? I'm sick?
Okay, she got one hundred and five thousand our income between the two of you. I think we need to cut down to beans and rice, rice and beans and take two more.
For jobs and shall everything in sight and get the message cleaned up. If I were you
you got shoes, that's what I would do, but this is just this horrible.
variance for you and for him, for that matter has been urals. Wake up call: we ve made a mistake and lisa if ie, if
you were. The only person ever made a mistake about a car or co signing for a car in america.
Georgian, I would never job. Thank you for jobs.
it's like the largest mistake people making over well, I hope listeners are going out. That's why I shouldn't co, sign his lot
will think I'm doing them a favor. I love this person and then they get themselves in a pickle when it damages the relationship and their own financial world. You know the worst. One is something it's in this case: leashes boyfriend is being
fairly mature and has already signed a yet we gotta, I'm gonna, help we gotta get ready,
How do we do this? He's depend on her
get the money, but but he was
four, but at least he's not say now I don't to sell my car. Thank god I was afraid
It can be that guy wine a toddler ear, but the are the worst one was like the grandpa cushions for that
twenty one year old grandsons pick up crawl gosh, and now they can
find junior, he just took off, disappeared and
pay the bill and grandpas now on the hook, for that
but because it can even find the correct repo it and grandpa throwing broke to begin with and broken hearted cause it's his grandson.
You know this is the stuff we deal with every day around here and the holiday
get real awkward, yeah we're in an awkward for him cause the kid's gone. We can't find him, but you know it's just that you know
the promise you'll never come back to his grandpa because of shame, even if the grim,
one forgives him. It doesn't matter at that. He is a prodigal. It's a you know he has to wake up in the pigsty to come home now, but the shame to come back. It's so he's lost his relationship with his grandfather. That said, as protests, that's what happens!
What these things and so proverb, seventeen eighteen, says one lacking incense signs alone for another. The new com
berry english version says it is stupid to co sign. I, like that version, pretty plying I've co signed before by the way LISA has co signed before
I got to pay it one guy coastline. For me, when I went into bankruptcy, he got to pay it, and I d go
pay him back later, but his wife still pissed.
The assumption is that, while I'll never pay they'll be good they'll be able to make the payments, I will help them get alone, but if
we're such wrong, or they wouldn't have required a co signer. You know they require kosher
because we couldn't pay and the lender says you're going to take the risk. Not us exactly that's it. I was not credit worthy at the time, the guy coastline. For me and guess what? If we proved it
you know me I'm just awful a horrible thing, but it's it's one
Codependent things. We feel awkward, something nice than you do
A nice thing in a wrong way. That becomes hurtful rather than a blessing

Hi. How are you great? What's up
My question is out there:
loan repayment, starting?
Parents- and I like many others- are
well overwhelmed trying to.
Figure out our approach.
When we took out loans for my school, my parents and have great credit
and I didn't have a line of credit though they took out a plus loan and I'm the third
here that went to school and our families, so they have plucked loans were all three of us and then I have my separate. That's right.
And sat down under my name. My question is
I have the parent plus loans transferred to my name and refinance it to take the burden off of my parents, I'm because we're just trying to figure out the best way to
approaches and right now it's just way too much for them to handle. If you can
the payment just pray, the payment myself or my parents
will you shut your parents, can handle it and you were gonna, move it to your name, which remain you're, paying the payment right yeah
I mean I know I graduated,
Years ago, with a health science,
free and I don't make it
ton of money. Right now are you I already so I just got a new job. I'm gonna make it
when three dollars an hour, and then I also have workers
I'd nanny engaged as his liquor transportation to school, but my original plan was
I go to medical school. Do that whole thing and then what
rather waited. I was overwhelmed already with the amount of debt I have much. Do you want
oh under my name. I have wanted
seven thousand, but then my parents.
I think, up to eighty thousand,
It does no, it does not add any value to move to your name. You can't pay it. You don't make enough.
Your struggling to pay your twenty seven
This is something I do with my parents having three kids,
all kind of thou on them and I think, without being those first generation college kids within it.
We know that much going into a. I don't think that we really did the best research when we were going into school to try to find our best option and
now. There's I appreciate you owning it. It's obvious mistakes have been made. Yes,
hundred seven thousand dollars and stern lonely
you're, making two or three dollars an hour? Or so obviously mistakes have been made redundant but the. But that's your own water under the bridge at this,
point, if you comment, we should make it a hundred thousand a year about tonight,
just twenty seven out my heart beat an omelette
this eighty over knock it off for mom and dad? I would tell you just to pay
Well, it's a moment s name and take the the mathematical burden for them, but no reason to legally put it in your name. It on serving purpose. Gordon knock it off, but in
occasionally
You can little. You gonna have to work on your career side, your income side, to be able to address the twenty seven before we can even talk about open with the eighty
Unless I'm missing the math. Am I missing something
definitely not and that's my struggle because, with my degree being so specifically
help by my goal was to further
education in go to call, and I work in medical office for about two:
here and decided that I didn't want you
they're, my career in it and after wrapped, in
you don't have to work on the careers of your equation. I don't spending six figures on Pierre schools. The move right now. Are you clean up the mess for the answer to your question is: do you can't take your parents burden? You don't have
strength to mathematically

but some old family land has come available and
want that back. It just so happens.
there they,
about nowhere else on so we're getting ready to back into
get a mortgage and also prepare, for you know, retirement, and that kind of thing. So I'm will want to get. The house would definitely want to get it back and
I would advise own maxineff,
We pay in on the principal of the loan to try to pay it off. You know and like the first ten years, vs
It's not like born days in mutual funds. The best way to proceed
uh, you your homey home one year, it's mom, it's an old family houses, member
carol's were not planning on getting rid of venus. It's going to stay in the family, but estimation probably three hundred three hundred thousand for it and then it's on a big block of land too. So what do you make a will track of me and my wife together about one hundred and
he bowed and before tat, how many more pieces of family ground it can't be
you can't do without or you're gonna run into
You got it, you don't wanna get out, not gonna diction than family ground. Well, this is where I grew up in his one.
In point five acres out of the original forwarded, amateur apparent, Bolton suddenly man and made it gets split up
years, and you know they left it to two major, therefore care
omar will only your plan you're, not gonna, move
It is going to hang onto it
by the new house. Get land back is right there close by, and that will be our power
mary residents, and then we would keep the grandparents isles up and either
My sister might move into it or mama
you know what her so she might be wounded at their keep it up and ass. We sell their house therein.
A lot of variables here and a lot of might the answer to your technical question is
wherever you fall, the baby step, so you're getting ready to go back from baby step seven and be back and baby suggs, four five and six
limit retirement to fifteen percent of your income and any other money you can find in your budget you're gonna throw at the debt.
On the four hundred thousand dollar property, no kind
Do you get a guide overly that natural? That's the answer to your question and you pay.
Wobbly can do that in ten or twelve years. Something like that.
I tell you, there's a a narrative running through your stories. That's not healthy,
The narrative is- and I've heard a lot in my life of doing what I do the narrative is.
doesn't matter what it cost or how stupid it is its family land, and we have to keep it that
That's in your story, all the time and
I'm not sure any of this completely goes over into the stupid zone, but your inability to
nineteen. Seventy nine is not exactly legacy property. On an acre and a half, I mean that's not
It's not like! Eighteen, seventy, nine, that's nineteen! Seventy nine! I understand, and it was it was sixty nine and it would come. Business is a forty eight
walk regionally, there's just one I now, but I didn't. You only got and you don't even have the whole block. You ve only got it.
year? A half? It's not like a big plot, a ground that was the families show I mean you're you're need to print.
The families nostalgia, sing,
no no bounds, and that scares me for you,
it's gonna lead you under some stupid, but decisions before this is over. You you're, not quite there.
with the numbers on this. Don't scare me! It's the you know: it's done!
policies. That scares me in that
I'm colony out on it because I love you
I want you to win, because I mean there.
Going be another thing, come up and then there's gonna be the property of jason.
They ain't gonna have become available, the old forty acre track and then what
Gandhi and then there's gonna be another thing come up and then you're
still living in it, but you own it and
It has to stay in the family and to it
functional level.
It just real estate. It's not it's not your fault
which do dna, it just real estate and
I'm not
algae in the older. I get the more nostalgic I get about certain present types of possessions and things that have been in the family over the years in that country
want to hold onto them, but
the state is a very tough one to do that with.
My grandmother inherited from her grandfather, a family farm during hurdle
If time she and my grandpa sub divided the family farm sold. It offers subdivision lot.
leaving only about a four acre track and
in our old family farm are finally farmhouse that had been in the family through,
generations. At that point, when she
asked away my parents generation, her kids shoulder
Because none of them were gonna live in it, not I'm lived in the same town they weren't holding.
To it for posterity in so I am not.
fashion at your draft under same it. The way you
work in your way through this, it's you're setting yourself up for potential problems. Now
and what? If the sister doesn't want to live there and mom doesn't want to live there now you're up got this upkeep on this house. That vacant you don't want someone to rent it cause it's precious family property, know it just
be careful man be careful you're there. Some
Then I shall wear your skating, but then,
where's, your give me aren't the aim of the world. I still think you could do this deal, pay it off in fifteen years or less.
which is our guidelines, so you're not do anything. That's you know. If, if you tell me
are these two and a half million and you're never going to pay it off, which you had to do it because of his family,
then I would just say: no you don't I just I don't, but you I think you can afford to pull this off. I hate to see you go back into debt
because you kept nineteen, seventy nine piece of property
and eighteen seventy man maybe
I get a little bit more emotional about that, but nineteen seventeen I mean
mick jagger was already old in nineteen. Seventy nine enemy list
Let's not that long ago, J Jamie.
Pittsburgh, guess yeah jamie's in pittsburgh, cod jamie. How are you.
I'm doing well high dave and george, it's an honor to speak with you. I wanted
Like you know, I'm enough p coordinator and I had a seventy seven year old recent widow and she need some help. Finding hope she
no family, so I offered to help her through it. She was on social policy
ready in a small anew at he and her credit card. Minimum payments are fifty percent of our income plus she ever
She had a car salesman in the midst of her grief
current getting a new car. Will you

there's nothing, we can do about it.
Magic wand in this she's gonna be showing the car and she's, probably not gonna, build pay the credit cards right.
I mean that's how I was thinking. I I heard one of your first collars just an you, advise them to stop making.
Payment, cheap and making the minimum payment guile. How.
by putting the other for sugar, but you gotta house primary you money.
Does she have a house payment? No she's ranting
yeah? How much is around seven hundred and twenty a month.
your credit card, your way more than a rent. Yes, by the time she pays
cards and pays a rent shouldn't be removed for food yeah.
And so she can pay the credit arch some light.
Piano or something to make money by food that Belgrade, except one,
Do this the other way round? The first thing we buy food. The second thing we buy shelter the third day we buys lights in water,

of a neighbourly company. Cleaner air ducks and make sure your furnish is running properly before the weather
it's cold of your nashville too late.
learn more about air serve at neighbourly dotcom, slash, ramsay. Today's question comes from charlie in georgia about it
interviewing financial advisers, I'm trying to find some one that is not starting a career, but as my age or older, is it wrong?
ask them their network, they
mine is basically I dont want to broke person managing my money. That's interesting!
now that I've heard that one before asking your
essential adviser what, with their network, is and clearly
Is an older individual winner. How old
it's all relative, but he wants to work with someone who's calm in the same wife stage. I guesses as him
yours is a young buck. He's just get started what I dont know what my
mt, MR president, worth if I've never asked and I've never been curious. To be honest, it's not it's not a bad question. It's a little awkward prodded think
I guess it on core late, their knowledge base with their income, necessarily which in court
so they're not work to a degree. It mean
I used to work with someone who, at you know if they got ten million dollars. I want to know hey. What are you doing? You know there's a piece of that that attract yeah, but you know I I mean if there, if
not if they ve been doing it twenty years and they don't have any wealth the no. I would think that would correlate that lack of results with their lot.
I have knowledge, because that means they're, making money mistakes, they're staying in debt for a long period of time or not doing the stuff, we're talking or not invest mean because if you do stuff,
I have been for twenty years, you're going to have some net worth hello. You know, like probably million dollars or more and in most every case show.
but also don't want him to be a player,
I don't want to be a speculator re, high roller right and and
The last thing that comes out of this charlie- you you made one mistaken this, I don't,
broke person managing my money. They're not gonna, be managing your money. You are
You're gonna be doing what you tell them to do so, your job,
is to get someone with the heart of a teacher,
Teach you what to do and you up
move the moves. Show there not me
doing anything without your input
you're the one making the decisions that you should. Never let some one major money blindly
and so the on whether don't do
We think they're gonna be putting money into things, move approved of agreed to and
make moves without your approval period, don't ever being a situation, otherwise. So in that sense, but but I, if I change your last sentence to
I dont want someone advising me on
managing money well when they don't that's a fair statement,
name our joke has always been. You know my father
professor wanna, the taught me to borrow money and he was broke what's wrong with that? Is like a shop teacher with missing fingers,
and so that's what charlie's point into here. I, like your question, jarley like that, the crux of it
I want to ensure somehow that they were practicing,
steady, prove
time honoured investing principles in their own lives, I've just got the assurance.
that mind guy is doing that without knowing his net worth. So I dont know how you would get that.
Other than a net worth, maybe just a discussion to say. Ok, you know
concern that you're actually, personally living the stuff that you are talking about our aim.
Tell me that you are
tell me how I know that,
and maybe they offer their network that that point, but I it feels arc
and I will say, inappropriate:
but from a manners standpoint, it feels inappropriate yeah, I'm not a wrong question, so I don't want to know what tell you I've never had this.
I have never asked. I can tell you that, but I have.
Assurance that are doing the things that they're telling me to do there, you I mean, if you are a financial coach decline,
doesn't mean you know you. You asked a client hey. What's your income, but the climate
I ask you all: what's your income, that's it
situation, verses their money values that something that we can talk,
What are your values around debt? Are you debt free? You know versus specific numbers that may not be as relevant. I mean it's a little bit like your doctor, Brian four hundred pounds, one hundred per cent you know,
things like issued against an issue up smoking it smoking. Four hundred
So for about know. Alright! Is that sufferers it's fair thing, sir?
dentists in logan utah, high stockton? How are you
I'm doing great. They should it from my call jerking george. What's at all
my father in law,
he's very kind. Man has a heart, but is broke and unemployed, but he
This will not stop buying us gifts.
And we want now know. Should we approach him about. This should read talk to
sit down with him, or should we just kind of deny his gift that he wants to give us we're not sure how to how to help them out of us? How long you been married
then three three and a
how old are you? I am twenty seven,
you shouldn't do anything your wife might chaired that yeah
you're, just gonna, be the smarter like punkin married his daughter. That's all he's gonna see.
I dont care that I don't think you are but
but I'm telling you, I don't think he's gonna hear this from you, but if she sat down and said dad, listen we're trying to establish our household here
and it makes us really uncomfortable when you do these guys
we know you can afford them in its very kind.
in your sweet man dad and thank you for that. But it would really.
Bus out if you would limit that or stop doing it
She says that he can hear that from his own kid. He won't hear it from you for it from me. You it's an embarrassment yeah, I agree. So how do we
there are good way to approach that without embarrassing him anything. He didn't he loved gift.
Is his love language. He just what are your sin? Just let her sit down with environment with a cup of coffee and say and
give giving. Is your love language, you're, sweet man and it's making us uncomfortable because we know you can't do it right now
and we know your lover, she don't have to provide gifts to prove it. Please stop, please stop are severely limit your gifts, your presence
and your heart is all we need in our lives. We don't need stuff from you pleased at stop it
and if she says that in private by herself, with her bad gently and kindly
great love than if not embarrassing, and I and she doesn't need to say we,
you stay out of it. I'm telling you the closer you get to this. The less successful this conversation is going to be. Oh, I agree. Yeah
well she's, not calling internet, which tells me you care more about this than she does she does she have the same level of concern? She did she did
nervous to talk to him about it and money, which is too hard. Conversation topic in their home, grown up until she's really offer to bring it up either don't bring it up
and just forget it no more about it or she brings
in private. That's your only chance of success. I mean, I think,
You just added you added even more evidence that
It's not going to go well if you bring it up because in the evidences of that money's, a sore subject to start with yeah and then Stockton, this young-
that married. My daughter's come margin in here. Start telling me stuff must
in law have been married, my daughter for ten years in twelve years- and I doubt they would problem
coming to sit down with me without
my daughter having done so first on somethin, they were disagreeing about, they might, and I wouldn't-
I wouldn't be mad at them mostly, and that is just an awkward converse. It's an awkward relational connection must
daughters and mothers and law, sons and fathers in law. These are tough connections,
and they can be done in an hello machines and all they love me. I think pretty sure that it,
Will you give him one give back and that's the total money make over? Maybe that'll help him
they adding insult to injury.
It's do that. Give georgia's
