I from other quarters of williams resolutions, broad girls, because from the barge moving in storage studios, regular ramsay show where we all people build world work, but they love and create actual real amazing relationships. The phone number here is aaa eight to five five to do five number one best selling author ramsay personality and host of the king common show is
go home today, which means we ve got the career expert jobs expert in the house will be talking about that and with you as we go through The show today for joining us again, triple eight eight to five. Five. Two to five tony starts us our end of troy, eight tony. What's up better than I deserve man? How can I help you? I have a question for you. We have a number rentals one of the rentals has a mortgage on it and me I can agree on, if we should keep at her side, I would like to sell it. She would like to keep it. Ok, the other, the other rentals don't have a mortgage correct. so this was the only that you have about your personal residence permits. I had a mortgage as well. You any other debt yeah, I guess I do have a truck alone
So what are you why you want to sell this property. My job- I just Don'T- want to focus on the ups and downs of rental. Do this on right now is an air bnb and, and I just I'm over there, we're thinking about it. So the hash correct and she doesn't want to sell it. Why should I want to sell because it it it does. It would make a decent amount of money if we could pay it off quickly it never. You know I bring it about turns out. You should continue to have free labour from you very true. If we have to hurry annually livelihood on our management firm to run this freak nightmare called in nairobi and be then suddenly or margins are gonna get a squad while the margin with the marginal still be about twenty thousand a year, we can rent it for about three thousand
and then less insurance and and taxes. you said you had to hire somebody else to manage it. Yeah. If you keep it, you have to do that. Cause you're done great. Yeah, how much do you make on it if you sell it we would make about. Well, We profit about a hundred I think that I think the core issue is that you guys are not on the same page, where you want to end up If you decide on where we want to end up. Where do we want to be in five years and do we'll be king and queen of the urban base, and are being dead on my truck and be in doubt on our house, and I'll be spending too much time a bunch of time on this, as is what we want our life to be five years from now, and it it is then we probably should keep it.
But if you have a different set of, if you agree on a different set of tar, it's that you're going after all, be dead free, my stupid truck paid off, modern pay off our house. And I'm gonna get out of there being a rehash of business and have a calm, peaceful life. Again, if that's your goal, Then obviously you shall it so you know if you workin ramsay plan, you'd, salad But you're not work in the plant. You're argue with your wife. About whether the randal you're just That's all it's going, aren't so there's no one ever flip you want do and y'all are arguing one thing so, but that the reason you're having this disagreement as you you're, not an agreement on your long term goals and when you get an agreement on your strategic, long term goals, then a tactical.
Miscellaneous steps to get? There will fall right in line and you'll be in agreement on those yeah, and I think you make a very good point about the long term goals. I'm not sure that they're both truly looking at long term, not they're. Looking at just this one thing, yeah she's like well, they have other rentals and they're. Not thinking about wealthy sell the house, we make one hundred, we pay off the truck. We've got these other Is it or cash following they gotta think twenty thirty years down the line. I think that's the great adviser giving their than wants, as we can get on the same page about our desire. future, then? It's a lot easier decision is nothing really to argue about. If We have a long term vision that we agree on exactly exactly. Ever knows where those in denver colorado high Heaven. How are you. good day? How are you doing better than deserve? How can we help you I see a lot of people are turning toward artificial intelligence and group of to get their financial eyes. I was gears What you thought about, that is a good thing or bad thing, Adele, from what I've played around with it
necessarily day europe it is bad and they don't. We disagree with the or agree with it. Particularly they say there is no such thing as good debt and that that's the way to get out of that agenda, avalanche. What made you ve got a shot, who you want to be advising you chat, bought or human eye I see a lot of financial bided putting into their practices are just wondering dangerous thing. Is that a good thing, the damage its boughs a high and robo investing, as is good. It's for there's nothing wrong with any of it. Especially where you're dealing with a very small account and you're just getting started, causes you at a low cost to get started as an investor, but about managing a million dollars on my little chap bought. Do that now? Don't think so? Really I mean I asked us very impressive women
I was looking at a meeting this morning, some of the stuff that we're going to be able to do with it. It's it's ridiculous yeah. How cool or some other stuff is, but with it the danger of no human oversight. And on that the only way you know if the advice, coming out of it as accurate as your measuring it against the humans value system. That's the point: Evan. I would tell you that artificial intelligence is about knowledge. What it lacks. His wisdom and that's what days talkative you're talking about a guide, a human being who understands principles through it, sperience in asia. Is nothing more than a world class aggregation tool if you wanna just break it down and knowledge, knowledge, knowledge but question lies in what you said artificial. Intelligence, it's not wisdom, knowledge. That is aggregated and you need. wisdom and it's never can replace the human touch. So here's the thing You are always in charge of your money.
Your financial adviser, whether a ai, whether its robo witherspoon, individual human, being you, after understand where the money is going, you in charge of it. It's your fault of its screws up, cause you let it happen, it you're money and show you know it. And show what that means is. If your financial adviser says oh there's, good debt, you need to go borrow on your house. She go ha on. New financial adviser, this one's an idiot o a you, you need to go, get a universal I've policy on natural adviser, this one's an area, and so you don't you you have to make those calls, because you ve already decided certain things you're going to do and not going to do, and regardless of who it is it's coming at you, whether its which cut it me. It's in very interest is almost an oxymoron to say. Artificial intelligence is like airlines service, you know what you think, I'm going to sanctions, but anyway, the butt but it is very impressive, the great aggregate show it's gonna, be
Kinda fun to see what kind of what we can do with it as a tool, but is it? Am I going to turn my life over to a single human, a robo advisor or an ai chat bot, not a chance, I'm in charge of my life, my job to manage it? I can listen to what they have to say this out of own a firearm or not. This is the ramsey chef. moving season is heating up.

I'm gonna get a physician retaining a trophy, a watch out back we're thing you did and with you people bridger is whether, since all like city, I bridger what's up. Hey data you doing better than I deserve. How can we help Oh, I m a senior that's cool, undressed about a graduate and uncertainty colleagues, you know where I live carmen by, but I'm thinking about going into aviation and I don't want to go in debt with flight school cause. It's super expensive. What is the best route? You think I can do with that. Join the air force. Through art, she on the economy, join the air force and become a pilot. I was thinking about that night
I'm kind of interested in, and you know if and team fighter pilot flower, those that let you commercial stuff later. I promise you then another like I'm fine, commercial, and make good money. You knew that company for about an hour and you have to pay for all those hours as a civilian. it's a very expensive to get into this world that you want to get enter, yo, yo, Right now, average cost about ninety six thousand, with previous experience. Seventy five thousand, when, starting with the certificate, and so I think days right, the easiest most cost effective way. If you ve got chops. You gotta figure out. If you got the chops I'd start talking to the air force. You know you can also be a navy pilot. The two options and don't let them suck you into doing something at the air force, that's not about being a pilot. As the reason you're going over. There is to be a pilot's row. If they're not gonna, do that then don't sign up with them. I'm not. I don't want one recruiter to get two sides
happy here and give you the o o, you know, and so I don't want to do that, but I do want you to go there and talk to him about what it's like to serve your country for four years and come out. The pilots with all the hours you need to go commercial I mean it's on. that will be awesome for you and me better than spending a hundred by a hundred thousand dollars and honestly the it's it's It is a very romantic field to look at from the outside looking in the us, and yet we were, with a lot of commercial pilots and pilots with private planes as well private jets and so forth, and it it You spend almost all your time, not flying it's true. I tell I are the best part is take off and landing so issues that I get to do you and in it it though it does,
it turns into you, know your bus driver s right, you drive and buses yet wings, and an example here for the young man is, is also look at things like helicopter, I let you know the coastguard shame deal, but then you move out what about you know of flying hill? doctors in medical emergencies. If your desire is to be in the air doing something that is active and exciting. Today's point you got look at all angles and in the advice again for the show, men and all young people thinking about something like this hang out with pilots, you know someone who knows a pilot to your point and have a conversation get an idea of what really involved now and I'm not talking about a pilot that runs a yet flights light flights going on it. We're talking. That's correct history like a sale. But on about pilot has done this for a long time which currently in the mess that is commercial airlines o my lord but a mess today's weather, so san antonio hi, steve, welcome to the ramsey show

Call yes, and so I started kind of doing everything trying to save money and invest pay off debt felt
little bit scattered. So one day my son said mommy should listen to a pack has by Dave Ramsay, and I said what the I'm cast. And so he had to download the podcast app on my phone found your podcast ten nets. I was hooked. but an ironical e one. The first month of listening can and you have a show, and there was a veteran who called in and you had made the statement that if you put a dialogue and veteran on this they'll, just do it and I myself had a veteran and when I heard that I said game on and it kills- is pretty full circle.

I mean no either now or never, steps forward in a restaurant coffee shop. Nothing, we literally god went to work came home. That is it if everything was budgeted down to the dollar. We love your every dollar app and never use the budget in my entire life. That app is amazing. I actually have a panic attack now, if it gets too close, to the start of the next month. I don't have my budget made, love so yeah, so
lots of discipline and also lots of monthly budget meetings through that help dial that, and she really helped a lot with that, because this is how much we need this, how much we're we're so that helped tremendously So how much extra did you work Well, I'm salary, so I couldn't do a ton, but there was a period of time. I did do some door dashing so here's the fifty year old woman door dashing food to twenty year olds. now, listen to applaud, get wireless internet every now and then randy had a pretty labour intensive job for a period of time that really some income in so it was tough.

It feel to be free, gazing and we were very happy it's very humbling to come up here to kind of you're stupidity out here, but the debt freeze- Dreams definitely were motivator for us and cap us going especially in
mid way, and you see these mountains of dead and just here and other people stories really helped us like. Don't give up, don't quit motivation, so it's once or to the end I mean is so worth it, and now we just did a quick trip here to meet you in I come to ramsey solutions, and now we get to watch all of our money, pile up and the savings on a different emotion.

Why that's all I've done it is interesting, how many times something happens in someone's life and it. They have a baby. They get married. They turn fifty lose a job? They get a new job, and that is that there's. This change, then, gives them the wake up, call and exactly right- and they decide, you know what lie where it is now, is not what we wanted to be working to. Finally take the steps to live there.

I give adorning if america can common ramses personality its go vote today. Thank you for joining a shot is whether in orlando has shown. How are you we just fine thanks didn't for Michael sure. How can we know? Well, I want an iron bedstead, seven and we're doing a monthly dollar costs to average into an ex ante and ex our time frame. his five years. Question is, do we continue? The dollar costs average for five years all the way through or do we take her back into shaping at a certain point? Would you type or back into savings? Well, I guess- over thinking it, because I know that if the timeframe is shorter than five years, you to the night- oh I see I see so what are you buying with a little under five years? and a new home
greater home. That's one! Ok!. no if you started, if you start tapering back to savings, that would be your presupposing. Your drawn a time the market- and I wouldn't play it all the way through unless you see some kind of serious dark cloud on the horizon. That scares you than I would just move at all the cash at the end of the five year period. Ok, How much money you gonna have in there after five years. I have probably about one hundred one hundred and twenty five. Okay, then so, if it loses, ten percent is twelve thousand dollars. It does not keep you from doing the deal. Sure, okay,. that's the way. The most she would ever see here mean very very few times in history. Do you see on the market lose more than ten percent in a twelve month period. Atop very very few times and show that
that's an amount of money you can absorb and it doesn't keep you from doing the deal. So I'm gonna write it all away an and unless I see some big huge, not just news, not your stuff on the nose, but I'm just really really really Concerned about presidential administration, or something like that. That's gonna screw this thing. I'm gonna, I would just sit there until I buy and Take it out. There should be five hundred and by as a matter of fact, the truth is that's what I do I don't worry that much about dollar costa averaging, but I use nets and pay five hundred. I throw exe, stash cash in an s. Five hundred, in over and, above all, my other investing. Ok, this is just excess cash until it gets enough in there Bobby's real estate and what that's a year, two years, five years, seven years what I would, if I just keep doing it in there. and then one I'm ready, otters taken up our out of that pay and bother peace, a real state, then, in a sense, what you're doing- and I do that all the time for investment real estate and
right now. I've got a pretty good stash sitting in us pay and the markets down and sew up I'm gonna do really good when the market rebounds, so it's gonna, be an actual. and next you know next twelve months or so to pull that out and buy some real estate, except that the real estate would probably have gone up, but the panel, what I'm buying, but all that soap to say, yeah, I'm just gonna run straight through I'm, not gonna, try to back off, and you know, the game against the odds and being cash you'll lose more than you'll make ninety, at times out of a hundred screwing around. With that show good question, though, thanks for colonists open found a triple eight. Eight to five five two to five can common Ramsay personality is my cocoa today Ethan is an asheville north carolina high ethan. How are you, I'm doing good? How are you doing better than I deserve?
