how's the opportunity for a credit card like all these temptations are gonna come up, but if you can stay focused starting at twenty one and push all the way through

if you haven't held the stock vested for at least one year for sure it's not qualify for capital gains serve its under twelve
it's gonna be ordinary income, a hundred percent, a hundred per cent
What you shall have origami taxable in either case.
whether it, if you ve, held a three years, is it gonna qualify, but
compensatory causes.
Translation is going to qualify
Apple gains. I don't know that for sure you would need to check your tax advisor to be sure on that. I am not really great at details on taxes. I know some of the basic stuff, but something like that.
I personally call my tax guy and find out so that I don't screw it up, and so I'm not going to lie to you until you know the answer to that, but it will be one or the other and it won't be it'll one hundred percent, the ordinary income, if it's under a year for sure no question about that and for sure your basis is zero. So one hundred per cent of the amount of taxable just not sure which rate applies after one year, the

oh god, ramsay to get the best deal. Today's question
come. Noaa Noah in arizona and about
wait from high school. I have no credit card and I was wondering how I can prove that I can pay my bills on time to an apartment
to get a lease if I haven't started any major bills? Yet the only bill
I pay so far is car insurance. Do you have any guidance
Well hainault, a good on you for thinking about that. Now you sound like one of our foundation, students who are getting that stuff in order early on, which is awesome and one of the biggest things are going to going to want to seize your income. So I would really focus on that early on. You know, they're going to want to see a steady income history which I know that can be hard straight out of high school. If you start
working early on, maybe live somewhere with your parents for a bit and have that income. History, that's great, but all
Look into options like having roommates, I mean you may not qualify,
an apartment straight away? If you don't have that steady job and proof that you can pay, but you
I was gonna remain. Who's got a lease and you can sign on and get a room with them. So no what's
trusting is, is this is one of the most pervasive
out there
It's an absolute. Why you
I have a credit score to own apartment. You just don't to lie.
No, we took one of our aims. You personalities got him on the phone put it on youtube and they called twenty
I want a complexes and said
hey, I'm moving to nashville from our first job
I don't have anything except a job. I have never borrowed any money. I don't have any credit score. Is that ok? Can I wrote a barber there and there, like yeah, sure.
not really special summit
said you need to put up a larger deposit,
some of them said we need to see your w two. We need to see a you know when you say a pay stub from the new job.
Well. I haven't ever borrowing money. I don't a credit, gordon no problem, no problem.
out of twenty seven three of them had a problem, three score
and these are like regular, barbara complexes, corporate management, corporate ownership, all the stuff. So this
idea that you have to have a credit card to rent apartment is absolute bull, not so yeah
it is harder to read,
a car with a debit card. Then it is,
rent, an apartment with no credit score, much harder, much harder
so this is just one of those things that people this this mythology,
that people tail we
to call in the legal world college street law every
I think they know what the law is, because they hurt
something one time or matlock. You know, and they don't know anything about the law. But everybody then starts to believe this myth. This lie and its spread around here's. The thing no call
What are you barbara complexes and prove me wrong here?
on three more leginn.
In seventeen unwell? Some are more want a higher deposit. They all want what christina said. They want proof of income
They just want. Now you can buy the bill if apartment
plexus, never rented the young people doing their first job. They have no customers. All people there
on the job. Twenty five years are not in apartment complexes, people most of the time there
Primary customer anyway? Ok, so I just
I kind of believed it and then
Anthony only all that used to be one personality, sat down down the phone and though you too,
above him down that phone. No, no, no, no! No it's!
Numerous should so ridiculous.
because there's one these things. It's just widely believed to be true that isn't
absolute lie: that's humorous to me that
at this. The emperor has no clothes thing. We
I believe that its way in work
to say out loud that it's not until you proven with actual data in so just just amazing. So let them,
then be busted. There we go pop that puppy are britney's weathers britney's in Cincinnati. How are your brittany
I even better than I deserve gave dirt. How can we help
I am going to ask you should put firmly emergency fund to help here.
our house is in an emergency
You know that was held in emergency phone them.
exactly several euro lopez had your time, because we received an inheritance track and with that check
and where we have an hour tracking energy savings,
emergency. You can pay off our house and for all,
unfortunately, on your mother
There are sixty one thousand and how much was in her to shirk twenty five thousand.
ok. How much do you have in your emergency fund?
we have in the accounts
our, then only each I'll be earmarked for emergency. Ok
she of twelve thousand dollar money. When you learn
Our checking accounts. We have twenty thousand dollars. Will it
thousand from your checking in the eight thousand that has not earmarked as an emergency fund are not
this discussion- that's all going towards the house right! That gets you! They are, though, done it. Almost
I'm nervous. They know what your household income
sammy,
If spending six thousand dollars now
do not recommend you go below the twelve, which is your emergency fund
for the answer is no. We don't use your merchants. You found above your out now,
If you had an emergency fund, there
three to six months of expenses and you're on the six months side, and you wanted
She back to the three months I had for a little bit and that way
do it, but I won't do it here number one number to your mark.
Events not huge
four thousand profoundly, not huge yeah, very, very oh yeah, so
twelve thousands good, I'm happy with that. But I will
below that. Ok,
please anguish, Dana proteid yeah.
I agree. I think it. I love that you want to pay off the house and I think that's awesome and to be in baby step seven, but I think I would just take it a little bit slower to stay safe. I wouldn't I wouldn't jeopardize the marriage
the fund has again
you, you could be, you know, have a roof problem or a leak and then all of a sudden you in a whole another different issues. So I love keep it
on the paddle and keep going forward
but just maybe slow it down just a tad bad signal, mutton and which was the inheritance again. I'm
We have a portuguese, but this time on twenty five thousand okra she of fifty
three thousand dollars. If you don't touch the twelve and you need sixty one,
You show your within eight,
thousand dollars and you make seventy thousand dollars so you're
alpha house, by the first of the year anyway give or take yeah yeah
so now, when I don't blow the emergency fund solid
just hang. It takes about six months of this process and your within reach. If you got something else, you can sell that you want to
although also I'm ok with that, but I'm not going to I'm not going into the emergency fund. Let me tell you what, when you mess with your emergency fund, for something that's not an emergency, it's sending an engraved invitation to murphy, said murphy come screw with my life because he will he standing there ready to comp and you just opened the murphy gate and let him in don't do that.

two years ago, and so we just our pain for it that fifty five acres and what are you oh on it?
Hundred some odd, okay and watch it worth it,
Now it land in our area skyrocketed still worth much more than that it worse I
I honestly don't know, give me your honest but gimme a honestly, probably about.
Four hundred that I was gonna get four hundred yoke and its good yeah and your household income is what
right now, roughly eighty
if I'm not working, but once I get done it, we're looking at dublin back
should we may get two hundred and ninety nine
bucks a year, one sixty thousand budget year, something like that
and do you have
hundred thousand dollars worth of equity and that that will
form azure down payment. If you go apply for construction line, because when you clonfert
instruction alone. What you're gonna do is there
going to prob
Why not take a second position to your existing mortgage? They're, probably gonna pay off
existing mortgage in the construction loan so that they are the mortgage on the property
and then they're gonna? Let you draw down against the rest of the construction.
Build a house. Ok,
And then, when it's all over, I ve spent
two hundred thousand dollars on the house to adopt more mortgage to start with
then you're gonna have a five hundred thousand dollar permanent mortgage. Their pays off the construction long when it's all done, but the
act that you have to download worth of equity makes. This deal happened today with zero cash,
down payment
You got this equity, their roles into the deal and you're doing
it's gonna, be as if you put down two hundred thousand dollar does. If elect
if we use my numbers, if you build a threerd, I've thousand dollar house on it, you got you
five hundred in debt, but the
Operation be worth seven hundred
ok and show them that gives them the equity position that you need for the permanent morgan
for traditional mortgage does report.
Down with seven a deal that be great right. You right
that that's the same math situation you find yourself in then show
gonna happen as you're gonna have to have a say,
if I'd contractor in your slate

on a brown paper bag that
appraiser can actually used to appraise the plan as if the house was completed and the
He's gonna require these things. In order for you to get to build, the house you can't just
This crap up and they're gonna give you half million dollar there. Don't give you you know
Do this thing with, and so the certified contractor
fact. The appraisal on the plans tells them that, when it's done by the sword,
I'd contractor when its completed on schedule and on budget, then they're not
be at risk. The banks not gonna, have too much in the thing. The third thing: they're gonna, do
you do is go ahead and get your permanent mortgage
permanent mortgage that get it get qualified for it. All. The paperwork done.

instruction loan inhalers,
churchill. Mortgage can do that, for you too,
Ok, so then you don't have to
two different places to get it, but in every case you know o
husbands really good he's gonna do the building himself, that's not gonna work by or
there's our plan, we sketched out on some on a brown paper sack, thus
gonna work? They're, not gonna, give you the money.
very professional button, down process,

my parents, household income, is considerably more
than ours were to china figure? Out again, I don't know how a this works, but I've been told
either the lender and one that we can't like cancer.

they're gonna, hear you like their password and the website and you're gonna jump on their pay payments.
They are wrong. It's there.

You can be run side, hustles actual sometime, there's nothing wrong with that, doesn't give it doesn't most.
After, statistically
one number I saw was eighty percent of them are by vocational america right now and there's no shame in that: it's not, it doesn't diminish your call. It doesn't do any of that, but it's not unusual at all for a young pastor to be by vocational you're going to have to have more money. It's a mathematical problem. You've got the.
The
The
the
our scripture of the day, galatians five? Thirteen for you were called to freedom. Brothers only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Christine Alice, ramsey personality number one best selling author is my co host today, John,
is weathers Jonah's in san antonio texas, a john. What's up
a bait and christina just a quick question
yeah, I'm a masterpiece.
And your courage on these that for the following you in your programme for gush over
Five years I switched careers about almost two years ago should become an insurance agent and that job
Full time remote
got engaged to a girl. He lives in mexico. In her
spending a lot of time between taxes and working in mexico.
And I just wanted a fear tat.
I've been seeing this opportunity and you know building away from from calvin
after dinner for so many years because of the expense
I've been saying that you can have a pretty good life liking.
Mexico and even the beach life, and things like that and I been think about
you know, maybe doing that in the you know going forward here, one day I was
more permanent, more just one of your thoughts on that.
Reason for doing this. Is that your girlfriend is.
No well wish, you were gonna, beat we're going to the integration process and she's gonna be adding to live in the? U s under greek heard before
She can become a eu citizen, but then once she does that my real motivation is because of the
U s dollars the of income and spending pesos, which you know pretty much takes you pick you up.
Right picture. Money off further.
norman converge and then
brazilian patients. Patients about a nickel right now
And show it
takes a lot of patience to get twenty
to get to a dollar
exactly and in my might my well still a hundred dollar hotel room and it still.
equivalent of two hundred dollars and pesos? It's not like.
because the patient is less than the hotel room is one twentieth. It's still there.
I like like, for example, my my fiance has a two bedroom apartment for five hundred dollars a month. You know and like in the you know, in a great area you know not considered like you know the rich
in the town here yeah. Well I mean the cost of living in general in mexico. Is there, but it's not because of the conversion pacers. It's just the
of living is lower.
and in many cases the standard of living is considerably lower, but not every case. I love mexico. I am and
an honest. I loved mexican people motionlessly
people on the planet, artist, ai!
thoroughly enjoyed travelling there,
So I'm a fan in that regard
in all of your young guy getting married and you you want to call that what I
expatriate to mexico. No, I would not, but what
live there for a while as an adventure with your new bride
and say we're going to live here for four or five years, and just have that part of our venture. And then we might move back to texas, but you don't have to take the? U s off the table,
and it certainly not a statement that the? U s is going down the tall it goes. You won't do that it just like hey man
They go down, live on the beach and done cost a lot
were young and married machines like a fun pop pop
some of our life. What's gonna, do that like some kid
packing europe for two years after the get our college on. That's cool, go! Do it that's great! You not mine, but-
but I wouldn't say that this is like a permanent thing or a policy decision or every one ought to do it or something.
Like that, it's just like you,
come on an adventure. You're go surf a little.
I'm assuming you can run your business from the right.
I'm working for an employer in my small small agency and the they don't,
the problem with me. Do you
How do you know you never about seven eight month now often on the internet,
grade and an you know, it's safer. I mad enough. You know- and you know
What are you ready for, I am sure, would remain as that which is
is an indication that you do understand the true. That's not all safe.
Oh yeah
law and order is a problem. Yeah,
one day. I think if this is something that you want to do, because it's fine, it's something that you want to do to be near. You
feed your wife's family at this is something you want to do, because it's a joint and adventure.
sounds awesome. But if it's out of fear that you're, you know
I'm gonna have enough money here in the: u s that something that's kind of just a negative thing: words like you're you're good.
mexico to try to save money, but you know their sphere around money here and does the can really that that kind
like a bummer? I think that in the career that you're and you can make enough money to have
great life here in the states

since then I paid about three hundred and eighty two thousand hours in that and all I have left the mortgage yeah so
repaying about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars towards the mortgage and then re financing at a lower rate. I kind of help
the bandwagon, other thirteen percent investing in anchoring the mortgage and then
instead opted to save approximately sixty percent of income for the last two years, so I stopped
heavily going out for the mortgage
on short notice. I got my job and then two weeks
when a clause on a new house or four hundred
about me.
because of such short notice, I didn't have enough cash for down payment, so I took eight brokerage loan of eighty five
for the down payment. I planted
in my previous primary residents
The original
so this is gonna be focused on paying back that
I am planning to be one hundred percent debt three and six years,
the question I have is, I know you recommend small towns birth because it
behavior modification reasons, but that same principle applied a mortgage. The two. Now
But if I'm in your shoes on local have that problem now and keep that other house here and
