a little bit of background on that? The reason I dont know the exact number is: it was actually on my abusive acts that opened up the card. In my name and on
never used the card myself
I had to
away from that relationship with my kids and I forgot about the card
and you

because information in these situations I found when it's me, I

worst case scenario. Is you do nothing or-

During a just sat there, you're going to cost
I giggle when you leave, have you ever gotten a ticket and they say: go to traffic court to get the ticket torn up and I can settle yeah yeah. I mean it's kind of a funny thing. It's almost like judge Judy, but without the personality
Ok, you know it's like it's come automatic. It's boring its
there's no drama. There's no time
cameras are lights. This is not only
simpson on trial, its traffic ticket. For god's sake,
Okay, so what happens? Is this attorney that representing draping morgan is? He runs a factory, a large factory

exist, wheels
two wheeler into the court or the equivalent of that with
computer download of a bunch of files,
no one shows up and the judge rules and gives every one of them a judgment instantly. It's really boring.
Ok, because this really open shot case, you owe money, you didnt pay, it you lose,
Now they have a judgment lean against you, which means like a try to attach your property. If you own any or your bank account or if you had a job, they would which you dumb they recruit,
personal job, though, could go after and garnish your wages. Okay. So to start my point is: don't panic about january tenth, okay, okay, it's kind of a yawn. Now we do have to deal with this mess because it's going to keep
poking you in the side of the head. Until you deal with it now how we gonna
well we're gonna do with one of two ways. One is, I don't know if it'll work
because you you ve, waited around too long to deal with it but basic,
please, you are the victim of identity theft.
Even though your husband at the time, a hug
does not have a right to sign his wife's signature by marriage,
doesn't give you that right, ok,
I give my insurance should ensure that fraud way if I have a power,
ernie from her to do that, that's different, but he didn't show. This is just like
a criminal on the street change your name up and got a thousand or credit card. You don't owe the money
because you're a victim of identity theft. Now I dont, if you're, about pull that off, because you
waited around if you had reported it after you left liable.
Five situation and gonna happen:
Now, please report at the time it might have worked,
So here's what I do. I call the attorney on the summons and say:
a process of filing a police,
report. I was in an abusive relationship and I've just discovered that I am the victim of identity theft. I did not
this card and I am not liable for it.
Putting you on notice of that I'll, be in touch with you and send you the police report, because you'll have to follow. Please
port and china affidavit. That says, you did not say
the card a criminal did
one stole your identity. Oh by the way. His name is in his address areas, and they will do nothing about it. So never fear. Ok, but that's that's what happened
it's as if a stranger sondra named card, you follow me yeah sure,
You did not sign it now. The fact that
tinkered around with it for three.
Years and not done this earlier is gonna work against you.
proving the fact that you're, a victim of identity theft, but hopefully you can get it pushed through.
That's the case. You owe nothing technically
legally. Morally, you owe nothing practically out.

this generation of changed. Kids are kids. It's the parents of these kids that changed.
You know I was that of that are actually a banquet with Bobby bowed and one time years ago, and I asked him ass if so, how much of the kids changed since you ve been coaching, you know five hundred years since the nineteen sixties, he said the kids hadn't change, apparent, survived and adds that try to the kids are still don't seem eject, stupid stuff. The kids

The knowledge that alone they say that they bear
a car note pretty much
we'll get married. I got off yet that our would to clear
do. We then written an appalling.
but for a year and without a bureau spade ire do we have enough money to put down by the house
last year, we had an opportunity present itself to
home from a family friend a pretty well discounted grass.
El below what the home. Now you was. We know that it was too much house or to the forty two hundred quietly
three hundred bethink bow the malady go by the board
at the time home buyer? So we didn't have any money but down zero percent down. So we got a six point. Two five percent interest
and we knew it was going to be a lot, but we tried anyway. We lived there up until november of this past year. Merely mike
listen paycheck to paycheck
guideline armchair described one where justified. We can't do it anymore. If we want this to work and we do
so end up in the house for sale fell behind.
Since there are made for four hundred and fifteen
albums to one hundred thousand dollars more than we guy for in march. After realtor,
etc, etc, would walk away with anything,
about mars
In the time that we lived in the home week, he might
below the knowledge of the credit card debt. Updating the home was built two thousand and two, so it was very outdated and to try to get that ah
Oh now, you have even more to sail it. We put them down
in the the fire ensure for

today I have rather,
EL, the knowledge and the buying pointed out about that. Seventy seven about olaf, a call
We just found now increases the on christmas day that she's pregnant endeavour heart. Maybe I'm on twenty six and twenty five.
have a corner for thirty seven thousand powers, while I want so
we have three vehicles terrified off one truck.
It is not right up. There is doubt about what I want.
the smarter internet. You go buy a thirty seven thousand our car after you just sold house because you couldn't breathe. Now I was twenty two thousand
he's gonna? I for her car, already had already seven about our core long before what are you gonna make a year
on thirty together. Good lord ok yeah. I guess
however, I cannot. What can I do to take it? Didn't you blow your nose in it? That's what you did man, what can you, what can
What more can we got? Fifty thousand dollars in the bank after you shall both cars and pay. Your capital gains are probably even we're out. Yet
I don't know how much the cap will gain percentages.
It's not a capital gains ordinary income casually moldova year showed up
thirty five percent tax on the actual gain in the game.
It is not for fifteen the gaze after sales expenses and you probably did
capital improvements on their credit card that that you can deduct as well. So you
probably a seventy thousand dollar gang at thirty five percent public at twelve noon.
act bill. You need to sit down the tax burden and figure out what that is, but it
probably right around there.
The. U cars. You can't afford an you
But another one brought go so both of them.
I am no you're right now. Are you now
I would like in what am I doing here
We live in our from art, both of us when we live grant furry now on our grandparents state, laboriously they passed away. They had a house
that it wants. They also worth living here. Very
so what does that mean you to be stupid with cars
no I'm afraid and describe stupid cars, raw brass order founded Assad.
Fail mantra. Yes, yes I'll, be! Ok! Let's
so the corridors about her.
Ok, yeah brought people, man yeah you're broke. You may go
thirty thousand dollars a year.
And you made a series of bad financial decisions that have caused by broke
The best way to do is go back to the last time you were standing on solid ground, which is when you had a couple of,
monkey cars that were paid for
Hundred thousand dollars cash in the bank rank that was a while back, but yeah yeah get. Let's get rid of both of these get the most get the best car.
Can get for cash no and figure out what you're capital gains are.
So the toy two thousand dollar car you bought her did you use the fifty thousand dollars cash
that you go get alone on that
now we we had seventy thousand the buying. Also, now you got the outer ire that car show that cars programme or the about what we have.
Cars are paid for, and one car that one true artwork is not ok about more cars or I ll go, and you didn't really trying to get rid of the truck and, finally, capital gains that that was my question. There ok caught up with you now the do you gonna quit buying crap
you about twenty thousand or car. When you walk out of this disaster, you just came from it literally a mania.
the exact conversation you just had about breaking the cycle you do you like we can
breathing sellers house, we saw the house have got some money.
but your bike are, let's get broken
and then buy another car. This like, oh, I can't breathe again well. What are we gonna do now go sell the car and do this, and this gets more money. Let's go get it yeah. It's like thank god, it's friday, oh god, it's monday,
yeah we're in this rent free house. Well, you know it's going to gab new floors and a new roof that are new. This was put on the credit card was paid off later. We don't even have a house payment. I think you could be debt free if you sell the truck and pay your capital gains and pay off the credit card and shop
and then you're gonna have to make a decision to never do the stupid crap you been doing for the past three years. You have to do a man when I want
broke logan. I was your age
I had to sit down and do an autopsy, a cs eye on Dave, and I looked at all the stupid, but stuff Dave was doing and had to go

I thank you for hanging out whether we appreciate the subscriptions. We appreciate the follows we appreciate
the nice reviews, and we appreciate the sharing nick asean lemme
Oh hi, nick our you.
Dave, and how are you guys doing better than we deserve? What's up man.
So I was wondering if you guys could possibly give me some more the wisdom or thoughts on my wife returning to school. What she going to study
so she is looking at studying dentistry
The right now she is a dental hygienist is making about.
forty thousand dollars a year. I must see p I make about seventy five thousand a year
but now we have seven
thousand dollars and student loans that that's my degree.
what she didn't, namely she did she
I have you price the dental degree,
in ohio. There are only two dental schools
I state, which is the cheaper of the two and I say cheaper than quotes, is going to.
Those cost right around four hundred thousand dollars. That's pretty typical toe
we're looking to cash flow. Somehow
The problem we running into is
you know where projecting italian.
Take about
two years policy still pay off the rest of my dad and then another half year
they don t be fun.
Whatever, and then
I will be over
about two and a half years worth of savings, projected
after the dental school, in order to actually cash flow. The whole thing with just my salary: I'm confused how you
pay off thirty five thousand a year for two years, but in two more years during a foreigner grant.
No, we would cash flow out.
Of the dental school years, though we would save up two hundred too.
the idea and you're gonna borrow the other two hundred.
No
a cash flow as she goes
Gonna try and cash flow, and she goes so pretty much. We wanted start until we
The two hundred thousand saved up so much a question
Our question is, would it be worker to do it?
no she's. Only thirty years old ones starts and we're lookin out.
Thirty five year old, graduating battle school. Why doesn't matter my mongrel,
with her phd at fifty seven years old and was tenured by the time she was sixty three, you pay cash for it, she's going to be making dentist money depending on what kind of dental practice she gets
into the next thing. Your faces a want to buy a practice and that's another. Five hundred to four hundred.
the big challenge. The question is: not, is it worth
the school and
not getting out until she's thirty? The question refers. Are thirty five? The question is: you're gonna be thirty five,
if you want to be a dentist when she's, thirty, five or now, but math
care about. Your timeline. What what? Why does she want to be a dentist?
panama, threefold question
Well, she's water for a few and his doesn't always
I agree with a lot for she. Gonna want to do her own thing. She wanted to be a dentist.
Originally, but what kind of afraid to do that,
commissioner, then, by ashes work in the actual field. She feels like being benefits would be a good thing for her
is there any chance. Somebody in the practice would sign here to a five year deal and pay for dental school for her
pause war. I'm not sure how many small,
clinical around here would go for that, but there might be one around here that be willing to so here's what you ve done, real, quick, you ve put some constraints shit.
when a work at a big. She wants work at a small one.
She we want to cash flow, but she doesn't want to be a dentist all the way till she's thirty five. She wants to get it sooner.
it, is I don't that yoga?
makes a sacrifices somewhere there can we really hard you're? Probably
another job.
The PA only making seventy five renamed to double your income somewhere, and that might mean you do corporate
acts are you gonna take on a bunch of saturday and sunday private clients, although she scorned earns ohio state you're moving to columbus.
probably in between she would conclude someone, then I would commute somewhat work were not too far away from Columbus yeah children.
We have two alone: one is a year and a half and the other is five month. There's no
harm in getting on this path. The! U dont, passed the point of no return until she actually starts dental school.
Until then, you're just paying off debt and saving money
we can get on that path and then the question. I guess I want you guys to ashcombe.
Couple pretty regularly, as I don't want her to go through all this
rob four hundred k under this and then
such before my mom after?
to not lady m days, I've talked to people in different kinds of situations that that you know they their their dream, shifted about what they say
their life being after they were already show far down the rabbit hole on the education stuff. And so it's not to say she can't be a dentist. I didn't I'm not saying because she's feeling,
She can't be it in his cause. She's a mom cabotage, gambie addison,
make sure really four hundred thousand dollars worth assure that she's gonna play.
the way through and work
Most of our life as a dentist, because that's that
This is for you're gonna go she's gonna work twenty five years as a dentist. When she comes out till she
sixty and every day going to work as a dentist every day. That's her job
and then they took the shower awash, but otherwise the
hundred k is absolutely ludicrous,
to spend that and then not work. You know twenty years plus in the field is ludicrous,
I think, there's a valuable exercise and yell to making a very committed debt payment plan.
Off your student loans and see if that fire in that
excitement in that desire,
still there.
eighteen months or twenty four months, if you're willing to cash flow,
and she's willing to stick with it, I'm ok with it in its own. It's not a bad life plan. I
run and too many people who get too far.
This and then realize. Oh, I don't think I won't do that. This is not. This is not going
to six months of ten thousand dollars worth of certificates on Johnson.
And then deciding you, don't want to do it that this is not a big chunk of your life and four hundred thousand dollars worth of sure. You gonna be
sure and it's a major commitment, in other words, shall in the

We deserve my what's her affection,
I wanted to run a question by you guys.
My wife and I have been married for about eleven years ago
levin years I've been working at the fire fighter, paramedic for about eight of them. My wife recently brought to my attention that she struggled with certain aspects of my career to the point where she is thought to ask me to do.
Curse careers. She struggled with a thought of that because she knows how much I absolutely love my job. What I do
and where work as well as how well it pays
where a large family
he's afraid that I would resent her if I were to leave my career and it would be the hardest thing that I've ever done to shirt
it would have no idea what I would do at my entire educational career has led me to the point where, at now you want to explore options for countless and possibly help or through what she struggling with before we act.
The option of a clear change, but we don't know where to start. We don't know we want
calculating or individual gap. When we're just looking for somebody which
of your job is not like. What part does she not like
she had a really hard time being alone, especially at night. The kindest
indeed the primary provider on the day that I'm at work. We have four
and one of them has some health problems, and it is just a kind of overwhelming for her that to be the primary the loan provider while I'm gone,
yes, I have a hard time dismissing them or me missing. Damn activities and holidays every so often
as was just all the baggage that comes with the types, the call that we run at the video e yeah so
I have a feeling.
The talk to me
grew up in a law enforcement household and firefighter household, and I had a feel number tell me like every day,
your dad goes to work. I have to wonder: if he's going to come home, then that that fear is very real. That's not what I'm hearing here and so on, because here's the deal I'm
youtube renewed and aus Edina students before that and before that, I worked at burger king
all three of those jobs have had to miss some holiday stuff. All three of those jobs
had to work really late and missed. A couple of this is: isn't ass, that's life, so much
where is your and to quit this thing, and this
magic, airy life on the other side of this is not going to be real serbs, and so
I will not even bankers- cape bankers hours now, that's right now and so
I would strongly suggest you're gonna gather at the beginning.
Let's parse through what this is, because it sounds like somebody who is growing increasingly
uncomfortable for any number of reasons with the life that she has an
is beginning to look out in the crowd to see who can shoulder that with her and you're the nearest sky. That makes sense
and when you're sitting at home- and you got one kid that sick and you get thriller kids at a bird in the house down and make
as Dave's that turkey is not a real good metaphor, for my man has a fireman
thrill, ease use another examples, you create a story where it's the job ripe. If she told me in a what
of about this call. Those spencer is your wife being show mature that she's a recognising the how much you love what you do and be saying hey before we make a big
age. Let's get some council, it might be meant much look at our own gosh, that's so selfless and mature on her part. Also, that gives me great
I hope that you guys can find some ground that may
make a few minor adjustments sharer there,
to meet some of those needs that she's got an then that help her
make sure the rest of the way, because I got to the way she's approaching this the way.
You described her was very mature.
Very cool. I really like her a lot about me too. I'm EF I married up, she said
but in my will end up, but here's the deal
life around with you guys in the van
did you merely when she talked to you and you,
the computer to see what other jobs available are needed and that in that makes you
equally mature, also
you guys, are willing to sacrifice for each other. You have the recipe for an incredible relationship.
forward, regardless of whether you stay in this or not, I think you'll find
the british diana and shall find a way to work with part of hearst
and you will find a way out. Ok, I can do the second. I can make sure,
with my seniority level. After
years on the force that are in the firehouse that I'm home on these dates
I can plan around that and
a minor example. It's not it's not exactly parallel spencer, but when,
We were starting all the stuff with that. We now call ramsay my days
sixteen our days. I missed everything: colonel tat users about two years
no single mom, and I worked all the time. Get this thing going of polish thing up. My chair,
right an arm. We worked all the time,
and so when we finally get that same wall, a similar discussion, we said
on which an ok I gotta have some non negotiable show.
After that we never booked alive event on a kids birthday. We never took any speaking gigs ever on around here
What I shot him miss any christmas in miss any problems: admission, kids, birthdays after that to your period and
me. Coming back towards her were adjusting my business. You know too,
to be able to still be a husband and adapt right and then in the
it's to that that gave her the route that gave her the strength to take up, whatever slack there still was, which are still was
and she became a really zero maintenance person from that point forward,
The reason we ve been able to build a school incredible live, shut out is really
you're willing to reach towards her with some adjust
she's willing to reach towards you ya, can reset a few
thing sharer there. I really
you can find this, but I am because the way your approaching it, I think, you're gonna, be ok. I think the key
with it with the counsellors. Gonna be really pull
apart the specifics, what are the specifics? Can we hire some weight? It comes indent, four, p m to six p m the just dealt with at times in dumps for dinner. Upon cleanup, that's easy:
can we do something on saturdays? Can we make christmas
today's early every year, and not just our funding, we do together as a family, there's there's ways
rounded, if you got to rio, you spend
some of the money you're earning
to create a life that becomes tolerable in sustainable, that you want yeah yeah, that's what john saying, and so that's help with a sick child. That's you know a high quality
woody nanny two days a week. I don't care what it is, but on the somebody
is that your golden somebody's their help in their phelan it, and that be worth it took
doing what you're doing that, you love so much
and she won't be worried about whether you resent her because it's not her, she tried it.
You know she's a single mom when you're gone, that's what you're, saying
and on and that's a shame thanks and she was right. You know little very real think so I good question man shall a good p.
well, I think you're gonna find a way through that for sure and again I think it's a largely because the way you're
broaching it. She didn't stop in red. Faced and scream you ve quit your job. I can't stand it
You didn't say no, I'm an entrepreneur or I'm a fireman. This is who
I am sorry that you now you know it you married and that's not helpful either. No.
Instead, you wretch your both saying. I'm willing to give up a patient
hu. I am to help you be who you are right and that that's that's called marriage. I think
yeah- and this is one of those were those weird things you when you see somebody you talk some
expensive his in his amazement that it feels like
wheels or fallen off than those of us who
been through this and on their side of that go on. Oh yes, your car struck a great man like you did that it's the terrain, it's rough, it's not the car and it feels like all
I think we're going to crash you're, not gonna crash, yellow to yellow doing good. You forgot your way out through this is very smart to do that, because the career, mental health
the money page, the wealth building peace, there all woven-
gather in a way you cannot pull them apart. It's almost impossible to build,
when you have a crummy marriage, it's almost impossible to have a great marriage when your current, when you hate your job all the time. All these things work together

husband and I have read that common
make over and we worked diligently to get out of debt and thankfully, now we've paid off our debts and we own our home. We are now in the process, thank you, but it was actually through the
book a gun to mean anything to you, I'm, but for now, in the process of looking
its wealth building, and because of that I've been looking at a castle from video from both the link and I've been noticing
A recurring theme among a lot of these very well known people and its, but the youth, these crazy everybody has preen up either.
the government make one or you make one yourself, and I have always been someone that things very negatively
or its green up might have been an eye when we were married granted me we're broke, but we always felt that the word divorce was out of the question and that, if your even
fearing a prima in your opening yourself up to the possibility of a divorce
in your opinion, as a christian as somebody who is wealthy, what is your perspective on premiums, especially in the in the christian?
so it's more in theory, because it obviously done applaud you all workers act, but
I guess the reason that I'm asking is because I I it kind of helps me into learning. Are these people that I should get advice from like well believe is the people that I should be listening to
I don't know who you're listening to and don't tell me, but I typically what happens I end something like that is a financial person is the financial people and a legal people
Both are the world's worst, and I had to break myself of this. When I start doing, the share were years ago, are the world's worst at looking at
I've through only one linz, ok you're asking
She threw a relational lends a spiritual lines and away.

From your relationships and was separated from your spiritual walk, you can't, but if you could,
preen up would be a slam don't and in their minds. Therefore, a up is a slight slammed on because they only see it through. That lends does not make sense, so I wouldn't necessarily discredit them
for all of their advice is somehow being here.
a sea or something like that. I would just say who are
your listening to his only looking at the advice or giving through a
singular, lend our approaches, we believe,
that personal finance is eighty percent behaviour and we ve proven that it's not about math, and it's not about that stuff. So our approaches is that the pre actually could end up stunting
growth because you're not all in on working together the show
I first in order that you're gonna first are the show I was a hundred percent. Never
get a pre prenup under any circumstances, don't get married. If
you love your stuff more than you love her period. Just don't do it! That's how I started.
now, having done this a long time I have
one caviar that I've added about a decade ago to this- and that is if too,
people are getting married. One of
has extreme wealth, urgent. Extreme difference,
like. I had one guy.
Who was marrying a lady who had ten million dollars needed, have two nicholls? Ok, I suggested
a prenup to them up.
Keep their relationship pure about relief?
kinship and not about money and the big
Reason I suggested them is my now. Exe
it's thirty years later has been. The prenup in that case is not really for that couple.
It's for all the weirdos and their families.
because all of a sudden, crazy mother in law, swoops in from the other side, wants the ten million dollar golden goose shows up and you
look it! Then you got a little piece of paper
You look at our ngos, sorry MA gotta preen up can't do nothing, and so it gives them a d.
Its mechanism against crazy on their family cos
One thing we know about wealth is magnifies everything, and that includes crazy show
When you got crazy members in your family, you marry ten million dollars, dad gum
she comes out. You know so in that,
case. I did recommend a pre up, an extreme differences,
for ninety nine percent of people just regular folk, gettin married
I had one lady call me at one time is at her boyfriend had a night
sixty eight frame up restoration me.
Staying and he wanted a pre up.
and you know my answer that don't mary, this bozo a love
his car more than you. You know that it's not that's! That's the answer to that and that's not
You know that might not jive with these other gas podcast arrears, your listening to, but most of the time
I agree with where you're coming from jesse, and that is the pre up, is simply plan.
the divorce in advance. How offered to duplicate
the marriage agenda in divorce. No, they don't know it out. Not when you
got people with four year degrees, not when you take
people who regularly attend a house of worship, not when you take out people who, though,
the parents on neither side were divorced. When you take those statistics,
almost ninety percent of people miracle emerge, work out
year after year, older in twenty two years old and you didn't have a baby before marriage, you can take these things out by a bomb.
And boom success rate.
urge goes way up. You make it.
Thousand dollars a year or more household income. You didn't have a baby, but
marriage. You didn't get married in high school. You know all these
you take all that crap out
about a ninety percent survival rate of marriages show that fifty two percent figure includes all bunch of other crap go
on a people who work gonna make it anyway. She can't use fifty two.
marriages and in divorce. I really don't
Jesse I'm an ass day of a question on your behalf that goal
today, libya, third category
here tell what you think about this: a fifty five
you're old has done pretty well, not extreme wealth
Alice, passes away, marries a fifty seven year old, I'm pretty well spouse passes away both have kids,
have cousins is it makes sense in that situation again to protect from family and, if you wanted to, but you ve just got to be very careful because it's you you're entering you're, you're trying to say the stuff
the distribution of the stuff is more
potent and this relationship a man that dangerous it. So if you don't have it
it's! Basically, if you don't have an exit ramp, we've got to figure this out yeah, we are figured out yeah a good mean if you don't trust her to leave your
bible to your shot from the first marriage? My mom died they dont
then don't marry her right. You know that's what I'm saying, and so
there's a whole thing that goes into play here, but yeah by and large,
antiquary. Not that would do because
believe your plan in your divorce later
Can I rubble and it's it's cheapens the whole affair and puts a dollar figure to it.
and I just I'm not doing that now, if there's extra,
Therefore, like us, where there's a few times, it's ok, you talk about it, but it's

Doktor John bologna ramsay personality is my co host today: open phones, a triple eight to five five to two
Lee is in cleveland ohio highly. How are you.
hi, I'm good how you better than deserve. What's up quick question,
my parents. They are entering their seventies and throw that is the important part
They call him a meeting with me and my sister, the three of us all, and they,
one to know. What are the thoughts were on.
They leave their basically financial
behind whether it be a will or trust and or not
one we didn't expect them to even
once our days, because you know it's very but now that there are
in not really sure what direction the goat?
mentioned a will and estate state its lot.
The latter have a lot of money on yeah the number they said, yeah yeah, it's a lot of what's alot much man, just south of five million at all
Well, that's all very cool, not a lot for the three girl show you guys are going to get over a million a piece when they both die and there
chronicle him that I welcome
I do not have any federal state tax. What state are they in ohio? Ok, you need to find out what the probate taxes in ohio
I suspect, like it is in most states that the best thing that
there is a simple will, typically
What will happen in a situation like that would be
We call a mirror image will where they did they, both through the
exact same will accept the names or changed
his will would say everything goes to her unless
dot together, and then everything goes to the girls three ways. Ok and her will win.
Exactly the same thing, everything goes to husband unless we die together and
Everything goes to the girls three ways. Okay, so it's not a snake adventure, because its cut
haste right, you do, one will cut and paste the mirror image will
There is no again there's no federal state tax on a state of five million dollars. The probate is a tax to run it through the problem
and you'd have to find out what it is in ohio, but I would not go to the expense of a trust
russia is typically going to run. You three to five
thousand dollars to have an attorney. Do it
and you don't need it, there's no made for it without that was the other question. Their intent with on the momentum to trust, is to make sure of that,
it is protected. So, like all three of us, girls are married, a mile
authorities, and they just want to make it, though it
and obviously none of us hope plan for divorce, but to make sure it protected fur longevity sake and nodded
or if you have the use of the money,
it's going into your name: it's not protected, insulted sitting overnight,
and you can't touch it then its protected, but that silly
need to have the use of it. They will want to if it were a trust they would want, after all, be
I'll, tell you why I wouldn't managers. I wouldn't do that. Please don't do that like live off interest.
Up to now the other thing you can check on it and again the law will change from state to state and not on tunisia.
things, you need to look at. You need to learn about this, find out what the probe,
Tax in ohio is ok,
and in most states- and I think this is true
Oh, but you need to verify it if you were left,
a year and a half dollars from your parents? And three years later, you went through a divorce. The judge
award that money to you in most states. Now, not them. It's the
that it it came from your side of the family. It doesn't, he doesn't autumn
Quickly get it now. Ah, you know it is a period of
if two years went by than there may be a different thing. Ok before you got divorced, but
You know. A few years out, five or ten years
something like that in most states, you're goin
I'm just going to cover that and something that came from you know somewhere else
obviously, was your money, it be like if you
married some one without a premium.
we're talking about a minute ago, and you brought money under the marriage and then you get a divorce shortly thereafter, you're gonna take
money out of the marriage in most states, some states
different common launched up, but in
I want to learn about that to be a hundred percent sure, but by
large are really wouldn't over. Complicate this for a million and a half dollars sure, ok, commitment. I would keep my life pretty clean and
simple bungler learn about it, and so you can address their concerns and by the way that also means
probably ought to talk to an estate planning attorney or to be
they haven't lawyers, and so they were kind of running through the option than or running after the option by way of the lawyers just did that were planning
there's no company. They have layers that will make it a drug that those two issues than that. I'm talking about probate ducts.
and whether or not you are protected in the event of a?
which, without a trust, I trust trust
unless you ve got up, you know
a hundred million dollars to twenty million dollar fifty manners. It's a lot so cumbersome to deal with
there's some estate planning reason or a state tax reasons to do that when you get up,
of twenty million right now. But by prior that I would
keep my life as simple as I could. If I were you gosh
and I'd be weary of an attorney trying to pr push of a trust on you just because it can make an extra five thousand dollars. Yeah and some other people in the estate planning world do that there there there they owe you
drug to avoid bab. Now
by the nato trust? You really don't
you, you really really dont made one that often show a good question. Thank you for joining us. Michelle
isn't dayton, ohio, high machine
Oh, how are you
dave. How are you better than I deserve? What's up
long story short, I am- I lost my mom to about two years ago to covered
heard- I live together and my whole life, but the last twelve years,
we roomed together and cause her and my dad separated, and I honestly feel, like the last the first year, I was numb the last year of the
kind of their living and survival mode,
and one very sore I did stupid about a month ago and I went out and traded in my car,
for a new one, and I realize pretty quick. It was dumb. I was kind of stressed out and I was going to a box and my mom stuff and
half of it was a book there,
Never seen before it was rachel cruises know, yourself, know your money
Where did reading that occurred, turned me onto your guard. The show again, my mom was big, you guys here and there, but I guess what I'm where,
now, as I need to get out from underneath this car, but I'm not really sure what to do
I feel like. I need to sell it. I don't have anything but student loans in and the car payment by its pretty much taught my budget out
and unlike what, if something happened, my rent raises- or you know crazy stuff like that- that I should have thought about before I did it
But I guess where am I just don't know how to you know, what's that to take to get out
from underneath this car. I know obviously saying it's probably the best that, but I'm pretty sure
He gave it up the law and the no more than what it's worth and I'm just trying to get some advice on what to do and where to start without
or your driving her, for I have
I had a twenty twenty. He s borders.
it herded infernally one. How much did he give you four look here.
I was underwater on that about a thousand bucks, so I put twenty five hundred down with what
I gave me that putting about a thousand five hundred down open on the car, so I the car
thirty thousand dollar, note thirty, one thousand! Actually the new make I'm just gonna,
the job I'm working for the government, so I'm making about fifty thousand a year. You you're right. You do need to show it.
My what you ve been through, get alongshore dealt with big time.
grieving instruct purchase one it yeah yeah, I don't I
This is not a temporary moment of intended, but at the same time it's kind of europe
I would go along the power in the day about a month ago.
And talk to the dealer and see if you can, how big a check you got a right to get out of it. Okay, that's the first thing
if the czech sounds unreasonable check what the coral shell for and you're gonna have to cover the
bridge the whole that you're on your right, you're upside down again, and
gonna have to go, buy something super cheap, that you can pay cash for and scrape together the money to cover the difference to get out of this thing, but you're right, you need to undo this and the sooner you undo it the better, because every day you drive it it's going down in value even more. This is the ramsey show hague

doktor John, a ramsay personality is my co host he's also the author of the number one best selling book building a non anxious life.
Our latest number one but shall hear ramsay and you want to be able to check it out in
lobby of ramsay solutions hanging out with us on the stage anthony from link esther pennsylvania. I anthony aria good. How are you better than
I deserve. How can we help? Russia does have a question? How do I get my nineteen year old stepdaughter to follow the ramsay plan and pay for college cas when she says she? Let her future self worry about the debt your nineteen year old?
deb daughter, your wife's daughter. Yes, ok,
Although we all been married, ten and a half years show you
when she was nine, yes and she said,
problem for future me.
awesome, wow.
Who can I just
take a guess here that the other parent is full
The ticket at every loan go get em, maybe go so dad her dad is saying. Probably the future so show.
Well, the threat that the couple things the pop into my head and john your problem, maybe
Just a lot more than may understand can like a dad unless there's a fractured rely
ship. Your wife is gonna, have a better chance of having this conversation than you, because you're, by definition, the step that
unless you're the only he row in the whole story with this kid that you ve got me
Credibility than her actual to parents would be nice if she'd listen to your wisdom, but you're, probably odd man out.
so what we ve got to do is get somebody in front of the coalition to so that's first, what I'm looking for
Is who shoes she most likely to hear from an
whoever that is, I'm gonna school them just as a dad. This is Dave that I add one thing's for
artist times for me and parenting was when my kids grew up and I couldn't home what to do any more its piss me off
Because I was a lot easier when I could just tell him what today is its aim.
Now there are thirty and forty years out much still can't on what the damage it awful. I can him tone what did it with a grandkids? It's awful, so
I've had learned to not use my dad voice.
My only shot at dealing with a quote grown up.
in this case a nineteen year old, is to speak to them.
If they were someone else's kid and I was trying to persuade them black. If one of my buddies kid was gonna, do
I would sit down and I would use different voice and my dad voice say you know. I love you and let me what.
You threw because I love you. I think this is stupid and why I think it stupid for you done affair.
Me you get through whatever you want to do, but wonder,
no maturity. Honey is learning to delay pleasure and this little future self thing you ve said
is an indication you're acting like or for, and that's what I would tell one of my friends kids, but
as if they were collar on the show you know, but it's
may using my dad voice cousin.
Still she hears anything other than persuasion as a technique: she's gonna click off and move on, even if she is physically sitting there. She quit listening.
I I he's exactly right. I think it's important for you to know
you and your wife
Here's
what our rules and boundaries are for our money and how
support or not support, and then walker like he said.
They get that conversation. I have found it really helpful when parents own up to
things they have done when they put things off to future self.
and humanizes you a little bit and as part of the persuasion you're having an adult to adult conversation. Even though she's nineteen and you know she's every bit a child is as she wasn't, she was sixteen. I k I did this one time
may not work, but at least you become more credible instead of just this pointing
finger and say, aren't gonna atwater car I couldn't afford, and I thought future self would worry about it right and I did
sleep a lot and it tore me up, and I got mixed up my credit in it, shut me back and ensure the fat
actual decisions are made. That help me back, and I just don't want that pain for you, because I love you, you know
There is also going to be a strange thing that happens and you'll probably dealt with it. Her whole life is, if you
one paris- and I think you should do this.
dinner's a loyalty thing that gets really dicey and really weird, and so sometimes the greatest gift you can say is. I think we are made
A mistake on these is the right move. I love you
and I'm gonna be here when you get back and
I've got a plan for it, a palace mess off. I don't
is the right thing, but
that weird loyalty thing that they feel like if they're doing something, even if it's better for them and they know it that are being disloyal and somehow unloving to the other parent like this,
situations messy it's its messy ass, wide import
yalta, to get your boundary straight, we're gonna
for your first semester college, but it's
come at this for this or we can put this money on the table, but you can't borrowed down few bar dime you're out. I don't you are opting out of this money whatever I'm not. I've got twenty thousand already put torture college, but it's not there.
If you're doing you take out alone, you're opting out of my money and because I am not going to
support you in doing something this harmful to you. I love you too much, I'm not going to buy your drugs if you're a heroin addict and I'm not going to participate in something, I think is a mistake and harmful to you
not because I am greedy and not because the money is yours, but it's not yours to do harm with, because I love you too much and this any here this man, if your participating for not participating in the in the college, education at all, then you're sure
way, trying to persuade right- and I like putting the onus on them, because what it
nineteen year old will do is when you say, I'm not gonna put
giving you any of this college money. If you, if you take out alone than men,
you're the bad guy you're withholding you'd want me to get educated. You don't love me, but when you say hey nineteen year old europe and out of this money
right here. The terms of this money are excellency your opting out your grown up. You get to do that.
More thing would be in our case with our
when they were in school, if they were going
I misbehave in other ways, while at school and they weren't going to make grades while at school they're opting out, I'm not I'm not going to pay for I'm not playing for you to go. Pay play beer pong

They get to decide where that money keeps coming die their behaviour. They show your opting in or opting out if you guys are participating, that's the thing on there.

forty four million people in america. Little teller, it's a mistake. They got student loans out their union.
and they came breathing there waitin on the president to mysteriously make it go away and he's not a camp and he won't, and so is it. It's a mistake,

we saw it through a lot at you, what you think you're right, we had x amount.
of money that we had that we said we would give. If she stated
if she could have used that for four years, but she decided the dorm and all that's been used the first year and we said we're not going to co sign for any lands yeah.
Ok! So you she used up the money, even though she went a direction you should
to do and now achieving gone further
and we're not co shining the lunch so now, she's gonna have to be out of school, that's sad or shall have to go to.
local community college and go for free depending on what state you live in right right. Heaven forbid then, gets a great option for families yeah right option, but
well yeah you, you gotcha, so you're for it we're further into this than I realized. I don't know why I thought a nineteen year old minority in school. I was thinking that we cut.
No- but I I I mean this- is a beautiful opportunity for you to show ears with the account was there's no dollars left his empty now now used it in
kind of man made a mistake, allowing you to do that and I'm not going to make another one by shining for you for sure and if you need a co, signer you're up a creek. So while, but she probably doesn't need a cosigner
We're just gonna. Keep rockin last depends on what school zen expensive private school. Now it's a public school political, both are all expensive. Now so much

two years ago
and I think that there was just some
a lot of unrealistic expectations of having kids together.
the four from him to me and dumb. He was just very disconnected from them the first year and a half, so he started
connecting with them through counselling, and it's almost like you have to Lee. I guess it's there.
no! No! No! I don't
those feelings anymore, and it's like the more suggestion counselling comes up with the more it almost like.
cringing like I'm like I don't. I don't want to do that. You know maybe a few,
We did this that the other you know, maybe eighteen bottles ino,
here. I would have gone
How d you know accepted to want to go on a d or ex wisely, but I'm just
aye. Sir, are you don't know you are you? Are you leaving her marriage? I'm pretty castilla air
well, I've got from this call. Is your husband did not do a good job,
during the first year and a half of,
having twins dropped in the house and because of that here
like he is trying to work on it and fix things in your saying. No, your punishment for those
first. Eighteen months is I'm out an assent, the air?
sounds like you're out of the marriage, and this has been
I'm a great exit strategy for years
laurie that allows you pass in your mind, telling you then his hand there. Okay! So what's your question, I guess I'm not trying to guess.
Leave, like you said, it misses out exactly what you're doing, and I understand that. But what I'm just
into advisers what else can I do at this point? If I know we're trying with me,
something I see the connection now he's building with our kids, I just
Dont know how to keep trying
I think you know how to keep trying. I don't think you want to hear here's the deal.
And build something completely new and
sounds like he is really trying to build something new and ear to standing there there in the rubble- and you d want to pick up a hammer in your way,
for that, hammered, feel right,
never gonna feel right. The feelings will follow the action.
So either you decide to go all in
bigger this thing out or I'm gonna.
stop suffocating everyone house with. I don't know I'm just waiting for, like you said, I'm saying
I understand doing thing. I think you ve gotta fight,
your marriage. In the same way, he seems to be fighting for your marriage. What am I missing? A lot more pieces, but for this short synopsis in
You think he said I just got used to doing everything on my own in so now
that someone
now coming around trying to help it's just a feels like it up at the point
How long is this going to last, because that kind of
happen before it's just I'll. Do this for a little bit and then it stopped.
You'll get your parents divorced,
Yes, how old were you when your dad left.
maybe ten other use your pistol him.
Violent and I ve no hard feelings.

Asked me a question because I really don't like honour: I can help going what what
telling me is, is a very sick
be feelings.
I just don't feel like now. If you came out said no, do is abusive, do cheated army a lot.
and he's trying to weasels way back in the
liver conversation, boy,
No. We have very compressed time, though,
you tell me right now. Is
had to do a lot of work to first eighteen months, because he was off working when I had twins- and I killed me
and now I got used to doing things alone, and I don't want his help anymore, and so I'm just going to divorce him. That's what that's what I'm hearing? I can't be right. That's it
I we both work. So it's not just bad he's working,
we both are working during this adjust. He just bentley disconnected from
Helping me raise our two kids. You know he has other to kid
I got your felicity. Those yesterday were here today. Ok, so let's make a choice about today.
If you're gonna leave your marriage, because your husband is trying to make things right,
and learn a new way of helping
and, admittedly suck the first eighteen months and he's tried his best and you're like
I wrote it myself
You have to own that decision.
If you're gonna leave him over that, then you ve got on that decision.
I don't. I feel like I'm missing something.
But I'll say that if you're trying to heal a marriage at any level of it being broken,
the same as if you're, trying to get in shape the same as if you're trying to get out of debt. If you wait for
Feel right: you're, never gonna! Do it
You have to just take wild action in the door.
Action of the thing you want to be different.
That's losing weight with its getting out of debt, whether that saying I'm gonna fight to the death for this frickin marriage,
an uses up the last two years and we're gonna make this right. I mean it
of that. It's just going to be. This doesn't feel good and then, by the way,
you look runner. Culture were feeling to death culture.
Wait for everything to feel the right. There is not is not designed to get that way.
Do you gonna run like wild in the dark?
you know what you want, which is an amazing marriage and some help around the house into awesome. Kids with two great pair,
and then you're going to wake up when they realise this feels really awesome. But that choice is yours. I can't make it
for now. I know I appreciate it like a
