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.

It was ass, lose your final, but I wanna go was not john travel, it is if the polyester variety now it wasn't what it was just bad.

aid, superstar financial, you come to my class. Could you going
some common sense, encouragements gonna be fun. I've just promise you it's gotta, be fun
he's already say: I'm already long, our ready will say on work at it is its citizens pay? This competition is pitiful. It is accompanied. Oh, it is, I didn't know. Well, hey! 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

Gentlemen: ramsay personality is mine.
co host today in the lobby of ramsey solutions on the debt free stage, randy and Jennifer- are where those hey guys are you high? You can either love the t shirt. I survived, Dave ramsey and it's not in the budget. These are great shirts. Very well done very well done. Where do you guys live
Emma florida,
and how much it of your paid off? I don't
twenty two thousand dollars. How long did this take twenty six months, good for you wow and your range of income during that two years when we started one hundred and thirty thousand emi now about one hundred and sixty thousand good for you? What do you guys do for a living? I'm a nurse manager. I work in the same house, but a hospital distribution, tech, ah very cool. Alright, what kind of debt was the one hundred and twenty two thousand a little bit of everything we were normal? We had about sixty thousand was of student loans and parent loans,
in about ten thousand dollars was credit card and the rest was two vehicles: okay, yeah you're, normal know how long y'all been married,
Fourteen years and you look up at the twelve year marker eleven, your mark and say this sucks YAP and how effective this ramsay thing-
Well
the pandemic started. We obviously have to continue working so is driving a work. There was nobody on the roads feeling,
therefore our traffic, but it was kind of lonely and then november twenty twenty. I turned fifty so
retirement was kind of really really close. Closer than I'd ever felt. The old five o a wake up. 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. Now that I come here to do my Devereux scream in cannes here with you, no laws, wise randy, your wife is learning these new fangled things and the call hard cash and listening to a crazy man. Any she comes romans is work and read what you say
She told me about this, and I was like were first thing. My thought was Dave who
hurry up but
after she explained at and all
details I was like. Well, I'm all invest, let's go for a while
an area.
It doesn't sound like such a struggle that you need a T. Shirt survived a ramsey yeah I gotta know more. Is that just a fun slogan, or was it really tough? It was really tough, I'm always so tough. Just that I mean
In order to do this, but I have to have communication, I mean it's so easy it just to like.
spend
forget about it and spend and forget about it in
Before you know it, you're you're need
and you know what so now
Well me, and you just been conner
long and everything just gives gettin beggar. The debt does exist.
I couldn't go away, you just to add to it a little bit every year and then you look up and go got one hundred and twenty two thousand the owners are not even counting the house now wow
intense. Wasn't I mean when you went all in? I am by the way, what tell us our audience what service, what branch of service he served in the air force air force? Thank you very much for that.
what was so intense, I mean: what did you guys do right out of the gate, because this is a lot of debt in a little bit of time. We followed
everything to the tea. 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. He was on afternoons. I was on days while
well good job, you guys, don't you have what you tell people the key now we're getting out of debt if
This communication, like I said you have to be to you,
to be on the same page. You just can't have one person dragging the other person through this process. It's not going to work. You know
so you guys really. I mean
very unified one,
precisely in this report, are yes it's very difficult to do. If you're, not
especially the amount of money you paid off in this. Did you shall anything big, nothin big when it really have might also you just pay off the guardian couple pays. We still stayed in the principles that you recommend, so we figure we're just gonna pay, em off and now keep em there ever good, very good. Why
how's. 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. That is very that you had when you turned fifty and started looking at the end of life. Now it's a whole different view. Yes yeah it is. It is very cool, very cool. Well, congratulations! We're very proud of you. Thank you very much extremely well done excellent, excellent story too, and
and now you didn't do anything that you should be embarrassed about standing on the stage. Should you did a lot of things you should be brought about

Alright randy randy jennifer tap florida, one hundred and twenty two thousand dollars paid off in twenty six months, megan
Thirty, two one sixty counted, etc. That breach grew three.
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.
If we want there's no regret with people it
pay off all their debt and live with true freedom. Financial peace have never had somebody do debt free screaming goes. You know, I'm so sad about it. I'm just sad that I did this or I'm going to go right back in debt and never hear that this is the ramsey show the.

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
