When I heard the books were gone up, that much but since I actually know the cost of these things going up in the cost of paper going up, I'm not shocked, but it still caught me off guard, but our Ours is twenty dollars for the night and you gets seventy five dollars and free bonus items, including the audio books, a book and one of johns talks from smart conference and on john.

with the need in the marketplace, there's a lot of anxiety as everywhere everywhere we go from wealthy people to those struggling to kids, to adults, to geriatric populations, everybody's wrestling with it yeah and the the the population that has a student loan debt that just came to an built in of the six daily choices that you teach folks to make in here. To get there is this idea of freedom in that goes on. Whole thing with afraid are dead. Very right on death row in amsterdam irish shyly may ensure free that it changes everything. Yet it is also one of the first steps is choosing reality in IRAN. we're back in July when it came out- and we started barkan from this microphone Here is your reality. Some of bought houses by some of you sign up for memberships, whatever that you can no longer afford, because you thought the governments can take your beer, she led him away like they told you and you weren't stoop,
That's what I told you, and but here we are your stupid. You believe the government others that so starch choosing reality now and start making moves now and just like weeds people three years ago, hey they're, not charging you interest. Now is the perfect time to pay these off was at. One percent of people chose that reality, and now it's back right. So I People who didn't choose reality who continue to kick kick it and take it and then aka october first without true of all areas of our life on anxiety, not just money, that's right, but I want people to feel it. This is what you he's. Trying to tell you not safe, has been telling you for the last six months in a safe. That's what that's what we're talking about here and What are you can choose reality and move from that, whether it stood loans, whether your marriage fallen apart, whether it's your kids that want to be the same room with you, what your health whatever it is, if you keep avoiding reality or bodies, can keep bang in that alarm louder and louder and louder to get your attention that you're not ok and saw the purpose of the book. The six daily choices is not
to do away with anxiety? It is to do away with the things that cause anxiety, because we live in such a fanatic, gotta control, chaotic world that created an anxiety monster. It called our lives I don't want to live in a house without a small detector that silly I don't work, in a building without a small detective, that's dumb, but I dont want going twenty four seven, three sixty five. So this book is really a book about finding the fires in your house. I, for your marriage in your health, not find the smoke detect, not the smoke detectors on the farm bar find the fires. Muskets don't get putting on the fires. Hector to quit by beeping is to have no smoke. That's exactly hello! Yeah! You can yell and scream at that little beep in your car when you're a seatbelts not fastened, and it just beeps and beeps and beeps or fasten sheep. I that's it we're doing here we're going to find it. Both issues that are in all of our lives, and we got to deal with their health in here wing, belief, connection, freedom, reality and the freedom, a portion of the subject of freedom
this idea of being debt free. If, if you paid a too, in the last three years about the stewed loan stuff, because you had loan payment to make Imagine a world where, whatever I don't on care. They're doing because our only by any money. That's it we're talking about that sense of he's in that sense of, and that could be jade. Worse all took ears with her husband to pay it off. I could be John Sheila Delaney that took mould well multiple years, two pairs of it could be that nature that we talk to in new york city when they got lockdown who, as a teacher, who paid off one year: hundreds of six figures just kept core ami just worked hours a day she said something else to do. I can't go into work and hang on to my friends and I get these loans pit or whatever Your path is imagined, sitting here right now on repayment day, thing to repay. Aren't you care of it now having today cause I don't have a student loan, but that's right. If all the inflation talk is just really annoying, but I don't borrow
from eggs anyways what our own conquer Emmi, just changes. How you do every interest rates drive me crazy, not make money. I don't have any money out there. Interest rates went up again on mortgages, not mine exactly, and so it's it's. It sounds trite and it sounds silly, but this is this is freedom? Is that that word peace? talking about for thirty years? Well, I mean real ships are health, our spiritual walk are financed These are all areas that you can make choices in that limit the anxiety bucket from overflowing right, that's right and the daily choices are our key to this whole thing and it doesn't mean you're, never going to hang of anxiety. It means you'll have less of it because you have less problems causing the alarm to go off the where I've gone about it. driving this Davis, we all brush her teeth twice a day.

Ramsay personality is my co host today, open phones, aaa eight to five five to two what we're doing so. They were never done on the ramsay show jade wash off and kin common to washington d c. They ve been up, therefore, about last forty eight hours with the student loans restarting talking to the man on the street, some women on the street and some people that should be on the street called congressmen not getting and their pay learning about what's happening with withstood loan So what are you guys finding out up there well day, thanks for having a saw, so we spent yesterday the full day moving between georgia The camp was talking to a lot of students about their current debt situation, and then we
to the mall in between the lincoln memorial and the law? she turned monument and talk to so many different people was alive. Finally, we heard, I think one key theme was that people really believe collectively, no matter how they vote or what they believe. from a religious standpoint the message was to wish it is too high. It's going up to quickly it's out size, and that was a very interesting being J. I agree you know something else they knew to wish was high, but when we asked the students, so how much are you paying each semester? How much are you paying each year when you come out of college? How much total debt do you think you'll have? It was really interesting, they kind of seamen. Fog about how much debt they were going to leave with one guy even said to us. He said you know: I've got bigger fish fr. I have got enough to worry about right now, I'm getting my md, you don't worry about that. you know when I get out of med school and I thought oh, my gosh. He estimated that he'd pry come out with about three or four hundred thousand dollars of dead dave.
Is there any starting salary? He thinks sixty thousand dollars. So it's that kind of story that was pretty saddam. Everybody thinks that too, there's gotta be addressed. Show two issues too high, but our choices there intuitions to habit, but they don't how much it is. That's right. That's right, very unwilling to george tell a lot of these kids here. What is interesting, your cell. Obviously we saw a pattern to or these students were saying they didn't know how much they actually Gruner o, because mom and dad took out the loans are handled. All the details of that was kind of scary as well, and there is another piece to it. David John. Not only did they believe that tuition was hi. Everybody agrees that there is a major problem here and we asked them specifically what what do you think about forgiveness? You know Why, then, these administrations offering forgiveness? Do you think it's a good idea and here's what I thought was really remarkable? They all thought hey. It would be nice to have forgiveness all
would love for somebody to come in and take care of our debt, but they all agreed that it was kind of a selfish. You know it was a selfish want that, ultimately, it probably wasn't best for people for the government offer people enlarge to offer that forgiveness aid, because it's not fair for everybody and be because of the tax implication of burdening. You know others who maybe even take out student loans with the bill. It is what what did ache. I struggle with the cost part because it feels like yet another way of past the blame onto somebody else and I can drive buy a car dealership like a poor dealership and the prices are gonna, be expensive in the cars worth the money. Expensive. But it's up to me to be responsible to enough to know. I can't afford a porsche so gonna move on the internet. students that you met with own the fact there your school they can afford, or even how much it costs, although of course,
You make a very good point, John, but I think it's different between student who wants to go into social work, who goes and gets really expensive degree and is only making forty forty five thousand dollars and then the men we talk to there's only one way to get that med degree and medical school is crazy and give you real numbers, because the Y medical dire only gonna make sixty kay. Well he's talking about the intern years as well party cardiac, so so he's got it in turn for three or four years. But let me point this out, because job a good point. But if we look at two thousand ten twenty twenty two the cost of tuition rose over twelve percent each year. When you have fortunately moving up at about two and a half percent, so it is right kill us. These college in universities keep raising the price because- they've got an audience who just keeps getting the loan, the federal program and these colleges, universities, are colluding. That's a simple fight, oh no quarter,
if you cut the money off from the student loans. Suddenly they pray increases would go away, because I didn't act. They will have hailstones willing or able to pay what are charging I have been at the root of the problem, but that goes back to day what you ve been saying for the last year, which is the stood alone? Bail out programme is almost beside the point we do with that after you don't deal at the flood without turning the faucet off first right at first, you gotta deal the faucet, and if there are serious about helping young people, there are serious about helping students sincerest but not saddling future jenny. Actions with trillions of dollars of debt. They would deal with that up front instead of just out. You know, fictive bail and water, and let me continue to run you can't keep making the loans as intellectually dishonest when them went not want one. Were not a crisis on our hands of student loans, epic proportions here show did you run into people whose loans are starting back today? Yes, it's so funny,
you mentioned that we got the opportunity to talk to several folks. I talk to a girl, her name was aerial and she was excited to talk to us yet strong wings about student loans and forgiveness, and she was really king gave on forgiveness from the binding administration and when she didn't get it, you know, she's been seeing her interests pile up. Obviously, since the start of september- and she told me she said jane- I've already seen a thousand dollars a crew in interest from september. First until today she said it's the equivalent of three full payment, almost and she said it's blowing my mind how quickly this interesting accruing she's an edge she's, an ethical herself and she's like see a way out- and so you know, I was able to talk to write that hey what if I told you that every day you know several times a week on the ramsay show, we hear people come in doing their debt freeze. I mean they paid off. Seventy thousand eighty thousand two hundred and twenty thousand, whatever number of debt people are doing it every day. They've just gotta have the tools in order to make it happen. honestly, they ve gotta, believe that it can happen and I feel like that's the missing piece kin.
we've seen where jade asked her that she lit up there was so much hope they just took over her whole body. It was really cool moment, so I'm curious in my minors, forty four million people today that have a payment do for them first time in three years, Many cases are a large payments can take a chunk, thou art. It is, I feel, like I don't know why. I feel like were the only ones talking about this like the duck. The typical person in Let's talk about it, but I won't run into anybody in the media. That's gotten the day is a big freaking. Oh economically suicidally, everything else. Are you running into people our going, my god, what a mess? not really when we were on the college campuses was interesting can on the college campuses it's almost like they're just were. They have no idea. This is happening. I right up to five different students. Why said hey? Do you understand the significance of today I sent you understand. Student loans have been on pause for thought. Here's there. Finally, starting back- and they were like- I don't know what you're talking about throat.
Its business as usual dave, it's not a big story because, quite frankly, so old it's been around for ever and I think the american people have lost a lot of hope to where towards not sensational store anymore and that's what's really a crime in this house. Be addressed from the leadership level in congress in the white house. It's a crime that they're giving this money away to people who can afford it and then charging them crazy interest since out about helping people get educated. This is a in tax on the american people. In my opinion, and there's a little bit of owners can the parents in this situation, we have a lot of the students. We talk to day said from their own mouth. Hey. I think my parents took out alone. I think they sign for it, I'm pretty sure they're taking care of them and you know to which I said: hey, you better. Have that conversation inside it bass, because when it comes down to pay the piper You need to know who is on the hook. Well Jane you bring up a great
there's an millionaires, millions and millions of parents that use the college their kid got into to give themselves a pat on the back and to be up to tell their friend sanctuary in the community. Instead of having a realistic, honest conversation about a child, what are you actually want to do and you grow up and what is the best path for you in our family? There? They just want it and say, hey my kid got into georgetown. My kids he's to Georgetown forget the fact that it's to be forty years appear nothing or what what actually right John? Well, jaguar shark in common in washington d, c reporting live on the first day.

Okay, so, five months before, You got here where, were you all living, right here in nashville yourself and someone got your started on this five months before you came here. Well, so the really fun? Part of our story that I think even the thirteen got got a big big out out of that that when I asked rachel's dad is here with us today for his blessing, he was absolutely, but the only thing that will we had to do was he said you just have to go through a few before you get married, like you, I gotta kicked off the entire journey for us, and so as soon as we get me reed and graduated. It was kind of time to be a gazelle and zambia. yeah, so graduated in may of twenty twenty,
and then got married in june and right after we got back. like our honeymoon in everything it was august of Twenty two that we started attacking all of it and then just a couple months later you go to your father in law. Go hey appear one thing now my beer, I'm going to work that he was more excited if it was, if it was my wife or him actually to start paying higher, not gonna lie. I didn't just go through a few I'm going to work. I got a job there. I like that. That's fun, very cool, very cool, so that means writing you grew up a financial peace baby. I did yes, my parents went through in twenty seventeen, and then they were inspired by like it's still in their journey they're almost done as well, and so they started teaching a generation change like the wow. They started, teaching that our church has a teenager. So I took that with them. When I was a senior in high school- and I
foundations in personal finance in high school as well, which is called, has now gone cells, Ah you luke couldn't get away, not at all settler stock. All around you, John, you don't have a choice and that now I really risk another mean all the debt in your marriage was yours. Now without it was I, and so I think it was about, but she had sixteen about twenty eight and that we have medical bills that popped up over last year as well, that we were able to prepare for even even paying off debt. But that was by far one of those Stressful times was when we set a lotta moments. But each other more light. Just tearful. In my My team member ryan Andrew can also test like where I just was like I'm so ready to be done with this, and so that that journey that, like drive to just beat to knock it out. I mean that the pain is what really just gets you going because you're like I haven't So what candidates were those sitting on softer than let her get and so yeah?
here today was to animals kicking back in knowing that's, not there's a big relief, yes, namely yet so you mentioned, submits, really important. I think for couples to understand. There's that raw moment that really excited you have that first conversation, we're gonna, do this and then there's on nine were at heart. You and it's hard you're exhausted want to go on a date. You've been married one year. Can we go on a date? You nope, we gotta finish this. This journey, you can go. You just have to go the park. That's right! You gotta do another free day, another walker, real, creative, yeah, and so, but but tell them what it feels like. On the other side, like Davis, said, students are kicking off today and yeah. Okay, like for yours, not it's not an event in your home right till dawn. What it feels like to be on this side of it and feel so good I think we talked about before this. What the hardest part was for us- and it was definitely like going through it like we're. Almost there almost there, but also seeing like relationships and friendships chain.
Because of our lifestyle change and at the same time, we had all of these new friends like come alongside us in support us in it In so doing you got rid of the dumb from scratch. More ones will you lately, we, like you had a wash is drawing to a close. Please list. The dumb french people come along side of us and like celebrate with us and like so many here today in watching everything. So if you're, really good till, I have the great community around us, supporting, as I think one thing too As you know, a lot of people who are living life a different. like without first rumoured to so fine and you're like I don't know that your largely hard he's like we did, live together other things do have like. We had a lot to communicate, not to mention an empty with such a big game changer here, because,
Not only were we heading into this, but we also are going into this, knowing full well of like what conversations we needed to have to start off, and so we already were talking about money. We were already talking about relationships where I talk about where we going to live and what's going to be financially savvy, not where do we want to be, but where do we need to be? And so even making those budgetary decisions was a game changer, no, you guys are going to real head start. I mean there's so much or so functional it's amazing in a dysfunctional world. What, if you think about, if you think about it, like a sports team, if the whole team gets together and the first weekend they'll get together. They d start playing live games, look very terrible when I can be good but to spend the first year of your marriage for a year and a half in the white room working hard right organ working, hard, working, hard learning to work together, and now you ve got the new sixty years, where nobody will own you two not even day
nobody will own. You and you're gonna be able to make decisions like this. I mean I do work here. Remember so he shouted hey. I know I used to also but nobody's getting one you do. Y'all can make decisions about your homes and your kids for ever now, John curious? The june have much background on financial picture version thing before your future meanwhile dumps this will require a little bit here and there I grew up in so no annoyance and my parents, and I don't want that. What did you think I was alleged Ruth It was like whatever it takes, wow yeah, he could have said well son. You can marry my daughter, but I'm gonna set you on fire. He would be like okay I'll do that to get the matches yeah. So it was that it wasn't like he's weird- that water
coming into they ve been coordinators for couple years now, so you haven't, we get the kind of visited on some of their classes as well as we were kind of back forthwith, hearing, cleave, ohio, and so yet, even that part was really fun to get to be a part of it to his in we're looking for leaders here and so how we can step into our communities and continue to lead from a place of accomplishing these tasks and then being able to encourage other people same thing, which I want my buddy his best man. He came to me he's like I've got this. These, like credit cards, are used for school. I ten thousand dollars and they just got married and had like sixty grand liquid cash and I'm like dude.

hundred three five. Six. Forty to eighty two. Doktor john bologna ramsay personality, is michael host today, Shannon's columbus, ohio. I shall welcome to the ramsay. Shall thank you. Thank you so much sharp. What's up, I sixty seven years old and I'm wondering your opinion, I haven't heard you talk about this on pre planning and pre paying for funeral. Well, it is a gift to your relatives. If you pre planned it gift to the funeral home if you prepay. That was my thought too, because inflation rate of funerals is around four percent, so we basically make in four percent in your money. Ok and and any rate of course, locked into everything. But if you, the more d the more nerdy and detailed you want to get into it and I'm feeling guilty
right now cause I've done zero, casket picking and I'm sixty three, but I shall not pre planned or pre paid in my I probably actually should go, do some kind of a something and give them a god because I'm so pre planned on every other part of my stay plan. It's so detailed. And we have meetings once a year to go over it, and I don't I haven't done the casket thing. pre planned my funeral to a t you did, and my wife made it very clear- I'm not running errands for you afterward. She goes this, it will be how I wanted to be. That's how I married- well sure and only show up, sir. Gone. She won't be able to think clear. As you are now saying, I rarely thinking. I bet your kid. I bet you, kids, efficacy is a little bit of celebration of a shared one box here would be. My concern is that The version of the funeral. You have in your mind that possibly even prepay for
I would imagine, there's two or three leadership changes by the time you pass away and when your family would actually get would probably be. Than what you have in mind that I have loved. I honestly have not experienced that almost no, ok, it's a valid concerned, but I've never run into that. What I have run into is I finally realise that the funeral world is an industry in its annex dream, leap, double industry very much and like many things, when you add the financing or prepayment to it. You add to their profits, have figured that out and that shirt they make as much money on the prepayment plans as they do actual margin on the goods services associated with one being buried in your final day. So are your final arrangements but yeah. So, ah yeah, I think it'd be it's it's. It is a gift for people to in a manner an emotional state. Have to make a bunch of value decisions that does make sense to me
although I am being very up front admitting. I have not done that part of it I've done everything else in the estate plan and they'll figure it out product. This bunch will be able to four did. I tell you that, but the would not prepay I've always told people not to pre pay in the extreme, examples are if you took them. I have a funeral and invested at age thirty. Instead of making four per cent on your money, you made an investment return on your money. You'd have like six hundred thousand box when you get to eighty, and so pre rang like in your authorities or forties magically ridiculous now, when you should use avenues, three like me, I knew then are you not as many years for that to compound? And you know, even if it's twenty you know or or whatever so yeah, I I don't, I tell people, don't prepare, I and I do tell them to pre plan. That's the overall thing, even though I that's one of the few areas have not done what I'd say to do. What what about plots? Do you, what about buying
plots her I have not, but I too am not against them. Ok, I mean you cause your purchasing them. And what you're doing is locking in the location of stuff and ah, but I gotta tell you if I had bought those twenty five years ago, they'd, probably in a different place. There would be today so I mean think about that. Worried want to be buried twenty five years personal now I mean think about how the city's changed. In the you know, our lives have changed and stuff in twenty or twenty fears think about where you work. Twenty I wouldn't want. You been in text yeah, that's right, yeah, oh and now you live in tennessee, so I mean I it's an interesting thing, so I I don't. I have not avoided it. I've just not been good and diligent well, but I think I think,
you ve paid for the funeral right. I mean that's what an inherent have ortega leg in handling that made it look more general, it's a small percentage and it's not a big enough, though the the, if, if somebody's, not left, much of an estate or our state, and then someone has to pay for the funeral, though I've been in those even more emotional yeah, then, if its, if multi millionaire, and it's all, I don't owe fifteenth, but your whatever you think about a non issue. So it does take the pressure, that way. You can really screw up a funeral and ours in our situation. I wouldn't be big. Do yeah have sat with the folks who can it be wide eyed sent out how much the funeral cost and you know, and that's when their first questions, questions out their struggle and end there's no way they come up with five ten. ten grand wherever the charge, it's hard hard conversation show it it. It is. But what has happened is that of the war materials, a shocker forward if you're out there. If you ve been through the law,
oh you're grieving, having to go in and select all this stuff and make all these decisions and you're not sure, The money thing why, on top of that, then you don't want your pay, you loved after that on? You shall have some people who prepay when they want to never have that happen to people they love and show, but but still I would pre planned you can do the exact same thing is preparing every detail. If you wanted to write and or that or you could just take a kind of want the yom, the f one, fifty not the bentley and not smart car, only an amended ass margaret. I dont want to use dodge neon What the bentley somewhere around the used f one. Fifty level right, that's kind of what I'm thinking here so someday you'll, get it the rest of your be looking up the cars to figure out what they are. What are you gonna get one so I could get like above ground monument dave,
I'm not going to get anything I'm not going to share and share not spending not going to be a guarantee assurance, not thinking. That's a bargain cathy's in Boise hi kathy. How are you I am so I mean you would sooner do your show an end though it may be already covered death. But I've heard how much you dislike credit cards. What do you do about went off could I have tried the rent it without with just a debit card. and they wouldn't do it at all. Look it depends on the company, such and odd enterprise, heart perch, progeny syringe virtual, not enterprise. At some locations and nodded others, and so what you ve got it pre plan, your tree up and can't tell you that you can't walk up to the counter. yet one in the city. You live and is very difficult to get to rent a car that way
and so you gotta have a return ticket. You know so, but if travelling to another city- I, yes, there are companies that will read to you. Without a debit card. I haven't had a credit card, in thirty years. Now I rent cars today, We have corporate accounts. There, not credit cards on mean we But we were at cars all over america or try out the shop. You don't get thousand people working there. Where shall we have corporate accountant and they don't choir card in those situations. Obviously, so that's an unfair advantage. that you don't have, but I travel a lot with like distant family stuff in august, I have a problem: I'm I've had one bad experience or want period. Ok dollar will, but it's, very difficult: tara will my my experience with enterprise has been awesome extra enterprise, ninety percent of the time it's fine yeah, have just been awesome, so I didn't know that I would call around. I remember I won't say the company, but I I sat there and said here's what I want to figure out,
I give you my money, and they were so It's like figure out a way that you can take my money from me and they wouldn't figure it out now that, because I work in a jail that in care yeah, that should mean that that's the situation with hurts. They look at you with a blank stare like you lost that gun Manderson. But but that's the thing and we at dollar, where the dollar car studio here for a while they sponsored the studio for awhile enduring regime after cover, they all went by for up to that. They all almost went bankrupt and they turned over other leadership team that regime. And changed everything, but we had dollar shut up to where they took a debit card. Just like a credit card, asian wide, and we endorse them for that reason and gave them a lot of business, the new dream came after covered in the bankruptcy in the loft dollar zone by hurts so they came back again and the whole new marketing people everything they went back said no debit cards, so we had to take that we had to take the dollar we can't be,
endorsing and we'd like the dollar car studio down, so couldn't do anymore. That's why we're going a fire or customer painful, but That's how it worked, they didn't renew because they didn't want to be involved with somebody like us. That said, only use debit cards never go to dollar. Never hurts that'd, be kind of weird that this is the ramsey show, the headquarters of ramsey ramsey, where we help people build wealth, the work that they love and create actual amazing, like the campbell ramsey personality, co, host of the smart funny happy hour, ramsey network and the camel with the gay youtube sensational show and michael host today from number here. If you want to talk, its triple eight eight to five, five, two to five or george Sunday, bloody sunday to quote you too,
You too is has come and gone. The student loans yesterday are the payments are now do not just the interest to the freaking payment. It just got real. It just got raw. It just got really scary for some people really confusing for some people, the the chickens have come home to roost, as they say, and not in a good way, not happy for any by the chin. Pain were here to help you the name of our companies, ramsay solutions, wigley solutions, not gripe and carrying on, and so one of the things we did is something we we're done on the show in thirty years we actually have in the field. Reporters correspondence courted adam word, that's a big word the one extra money they won't get it common, knowing no or shall ramsay personalities are in washington, do they ve been talking to college students at georgetown people on the street, about lester,
loans restarting and this our can has congressmen, Andy ogled, thus from our district here in the state see Andy, and I are friends and were before he was an important congressman noise and in my congressman up. There are trying to do some good and on, were happy for that and show. welcome guys they're going to be with david course we're in the shadow of the capital and congressmen good to see you through the have you. I know that you're a limited government guy you're here to fix a lot of that. You don't want congress hands in the pot too much created a big issue with the student loans crisis, with the federal, soon learn programme, so with congressional oversight, you know the cabinets and, of course, secretary of education. All that curious. What can Congress do? What should congress do about? The free flow
of student loans were first. Let me say you know the less government does the better. You have never seen a problem that government can't make worse, but that being said, we're in this problem because of government so that is what you do next and so, like you said, dave the payments starting is this friday divide administration is put out there, another thirty nine billion dollars and forgiveness now that'll end up in court but whether doing is their setting these false expectations to a problem that government again create. Absolutely so is the responsibility of congress. Should congress say let's law or the amount of loans. How would they do that? What would be a technical way congress could do what you're just thinking top of my head in a structured, much like say, estate, voucher programme would be you limit the number of dollars per student so that monies that guarantee from the federal government, then you require, universities to put in so much a certain percentage, and so what you could do mechanism is, is really come,
slow. The increase, intuitions guys. Look what's happened over time is the more guaranteed, who's that you ve had from the federal government. The more grants from the Government to wishes have gone up exponentially and there's no reason for these big universities with billions of dollars in endowments to help students, because their feeding at the trough govern anti andy curious you- and I have talked about this before just as a person conversation, but never on the air, as are free one congressmen up there. I have the gift of cynicism. So as I can, I can't imagine how difficult it is to get that group of people to do anything. I mean as a freshman congressmen. How do you do you feel is any possibility. We stem the tide, of these student loans going out, because they mean that number of dollars
just flowing right at seventeen year olds is out of control and is that I don't think a full comprehension of what's the long term impacts. Look if you're gonna be a doctor and engineer some of these high income earners your ability to pay that back is is reasonable, but if you're going into sociology or a teacher and those are noble professions and you you grasped were to two and fifty thousand dollars worth of dead you, Bela data topic to pay that all of it is near impossible. I mean you talk to dead about debt and income of the time, and so the government is complicit to really putting people bad way. Like you said, you know these payments started today. That bill is now, do and there's no going back from it. I'm curious, Andy. What would it take to actually end Federal stewed loan programme dave always says on the show, if it so bad, we need to forgive them. Why do we tenue this. So what would it take on the federal level to make this go away? Workable?
the idea of cynicism, making it go away at this point in time would be probably near impossible, but I think we could put some constraints on sought rainy in those dollars amounts and really looked to the universities to tap into some of their endowment? themselves? That's going my phone blowing up tomorrow from all these universities doesn't element to spend their down. That's, but that's what it's for right! You should. Let me the federal government to pay your two wishes to pay your bills and look where market society, we should be a free market society. That's terrific! universities and colleges and us The time when enrollments are going down so again the cost is becoming coming prohibitive. For so many faults I now one friends, thirty, so I'm not really put him under the spot here, but you said it probably not going to happen. I tend to agree, but technically could the president
congressional decision to wipe the programme out. Is it a vote that we would have to have russian? Will action in again with divided government divide government by the way can be a good thing when it down with a thoughtful manner right now, it's very partisan which is unfortunate and so forth. we do it just a is: is a gun fly gunfight, but being said it should take. It requires of Oda congress. That's one one bite and try to forget the loans before it ended up in court. The supreme court. Said now that you can't do that and look the power. The purse belongs us representatives, so were the ones that has a dial it back and, like you said, when you look at all the above all others, healthcare or transportation or student loans. The government on four it has a role in creating those problems. What I am hearing dave and george is in order to congress a dial it back. We should start dial in the hotline start, throwing some people output of good boy like eighty and take back our economy and get rid of debt. A couple of weeks into the your first term, you more
Hopeful are just bigger, bigger problem. you thought it was serving up there it's an honor to serve. You know we're about nine months in now, and I yeah we're talking offline yeah, four hundred and thirty five members of congress, and disparaging anybody that is really about forty, that are the firewall from just total spending an hour social anarchy and other forty or fifty there's twin is that you know. If you look at the really tough vote there conservative votes at my bride, but my name's always on that list, and I'm dragging the conference to the right of saying look. We've got one The line here. Look I don't know. I know this isn't about immigration, but regardless of where you're out on that policy, we ve got an issue at the southern border.

I the neighborly app today today's question come from greece. in virginia, we pause baby steps when preparing for our baby to come and have had trouble getting back on track. How do we get back on track when we're still figuring out all of these? new baby expenses, this item by george. What were those Ebby? Oh my it's ok, so they did the right thing. We,
People hate the the one of the few times to pause. You're dead snowball is storm or stored. You got a baby, wait till mommy and baby or home safe. Then continue the debt snowball after you saved up money. So now so much better than the way I have said, what do you say, storm or stork nets that having little alliteration going there? That's very good. I only can think in tweets day anything that hurts my brain, apparently that luxury I like it, you can have it so we'll talk, about getting back on track, I assume you are doing in every dollar budget. If you're not that's the place, I would start because you can have your income in your expenses and bit people freak out. They have a baby dave's, they go. It's gonna be much money and then you go ok, we're in a adeline item, four diapers and align ida four formula I'm the line or even less bloomer, with grandkids ngo, I'm not sure what the actual cost of this small critter. its mental and emotional tional. They don't eat. Much and diapers are experts
therefore knows expensive, but not enough to suck. You took on a mortgage payment it's a small amount. You have to go, see the pediatrician, it's federal law, that's true! I'm getting, but yet further out used to say yet to pay the poor pitied her porch payment and I had a pediatrician go dave, do not pediatricians MIKE, the least paid in the medical profession. I didn't know that I did know that either, but I got a bad luck. They think they're underpaid on child, but anyway, either way you gotta doktor bill or two. You got a little bit of form but divers. What else is there not like the electricity by me went up. You know we had the baby showers, we have all the gear in the world, but here's what we do we get Henry sounds from friends that have already been through that phase and we have so much stuff just from France. So if you're, not a part of a local church, get plugged in the commission, Ask your friends post on facebook. I would be buying all this baby stuff when you're not gonna use it for long. So that's what a little money act for your right there. You figure it out, but I guess it's like a lot of categories are like there's wants in there's an age
the need is food, shelter, clothing, diapers formula warm place to sleep; ok, the want could be a fifty five thousand dollar redo of the nursery, yes or no thousand dollar stroller, which we may or may not have bought Dave. Well, that's been asthma happening. I can. I can say that the room she might have participated in this trend to, but we the money yes and we're not somebody about your budget being type that turkey has deference There are some. I run your violently attacked by the thousand dollar stroller at a garage sale for five bucks I'm the guy who just went through the last get and another friend to give it to exactly and that's where these folks, rather we step to they're trying to pay off the debt, and so I would be scrimping and borrowing and scratching incline to night. Spend any new money and for the things you to spend on adeline item, and then you might have to sacrifice and other categories are we gonna cut a subscribed? It is not customary emotion the hundreds and hundreds of dollars a month trouble getting
on track. No european lazy the mathematically trouble getting back on track for babies, bouck rap, that's what we're saying! I'm colombia's, I think he's probably your tire multinational. It's convenient spending sleeping my job, your brain! May not working but mathematically the baby, don't make vat beggar damned here confirming my boomer suspicion. Yeah I mean, as far as what we have to buy an irregular bases, its wipes, diapers and formula and lots all of that because it galapagos What comes out there. We go, I am shocked to say the least and its pre. Basically, their job is to consume and expel. That's it They got one job there good at it right and so spoken at grandfather, I just hand them back. I think this was broken. It there's something come this kind of an you're coming from this one. I think it's broken. You need to fix it so that gene
if that's the beauty of being a grandpa, how many grandbabies you've got now seven and now yup and pop up papa dave, loves them little. I loved the little babies. I just handed back this one. She hungry our feed him sometimes, but I don't change. Do diaper downward ranging one's hungry this one smells Beth and I think you hand it back to rachel Rachel van you'll you'll need to fix it. I can't do that to my wife, whitney dave. I think I'd get one for my wife either. That's different, that's a different position in life and I can't wait to be granddad, but all of this to say the truth is all joking and he's out I'm sitting next to an expert who has a five week by week. All does not say so. Five weak, almost isaacs, we have actual. case study here, that the budget is not busted mathematically by a new born tat. Ok, carriers in Cincinnati high, carry welcome to the ramsay show good afternoon. How are you better than I deserve? What's up. while I am in baby step kill
I found you in february of this year and the question that I have is I'd like to be able to retire without a mortgage came could do that. I need to pay additional ten years. I have seventeen years of work left. So my concern is what are my question is rather, if I should put those additional ten years in baby step two, because I'm concerned about my ability to get my emergency fund built up maximize my four o one k and and then make that happen. Let the market statements! Ok, you don't have ten years of mortgage payments, your stating this in a way that makes it makes me think you think there is actually a hundred and twenty of those payments that you have to pay. That's not true. Those payments include interest that will not be charge but you will pay it off early. So what you have to pay off balance you want to accelerate.
Ok, what is your current principle balance if we were to pay the mortgage off today at you, forty, eight, ok and what your household income? I want no regrets that one three good, and how much do you have in baby step to left forty one thousand goods and you right all this progress and got lots attraction and finally, some excitement back since just the first of these White coat good job carry I paid off, I paid off eighteen thousand and since february twenty fifth, it does me good I hope that the forties going away soon right. Yes, an hour earlier than I can working under rule fifty Oh, you got plenty of time working extra, seven days a week, good for you. What do you do for a living? I'm an occupational, therapist and you're single. I am divorce, okay, cool good For you aren't perfect. I think we got a plan here show the average person that takes off with it
if in his very intentional and careful is typically debt free and babyship too Not going their house in eighteen to twenty four months, you're follow that model you'll be done within twenty four much and then you build your emergency fund and then you start putting the creation of your income into retirement and then typically one happy, as they pay off their home in the next seven years after that show that model. So that by the time you're sixty your house would be paid off on average, normally following our stuff, which only involves twenty four thousand dollars a year. So you'll probably actually be done before your sixty. Well, that's good! I'm terrible mass sat looking John I'm taking the two hundred and forty eight thousand divided, but in twenty four ok, twenty right, but we're not really gonna be working on in all of ten show it's more like thirty thousand so, but you can pay
thirty thousand dollars a year on this I'll sure, whatever it ends up being yeah and be done by then, and of course, what's gonna bonjour incomes longer stay the same for a decade right right. So if you the baby steps, as is don't try to do multiple things at once, focus on your debt right now, it's gonna be gone, a lesson, a right that plan than your emergency fund is gonna, take probably another six months or so. How can eighteen months you got no payments now we can start focusing on arrest. paying off the house. You're gonna do that six or seven years that puts this whole thing. eight or nine years, show you what you're trying to pay off as how balanced, though it's not ten years of payments, but you're gonna save tenor, thirteen years of interest
one hundred thousand dollars. That adds up that's a lot of money, that's not in this equation, and I think you were running the numbers that way- and this way is the truth and is a lot faster. Also that puts us our the ramsey show in the books from the headquarters of ramsay solutions, judge ramsey show where we and our people build oil do work that they love and create actual amazing relationships, john bologna ramsay personality number one best, selling author and host to the doktor john baloney show in the ramsay networks, a very popular pod guest on relationships boundaries. Mental health is Michael vote today, open phones, a triple eight eight to five five, two to five.
show on sunday bloody sunday. The student loans have started back John yesterday, further Are you listening on a monday october, the second, the eastern loan payments, every darted leant restarted the september, the first payments restart october, the first there have been three. reactions that were reading about oh crap, I'm up a creek, which is the proper reaction, Actually, the proper reaction would have been to pay him off during the time that you had no interest but of the people. The still have student loans, o crap up a greek, I am going to remain in denial because I really think the government is going to pay these off or or I refused to pay them. I'm in rebellion. That's a new one! I've started hearing ya I'm this is unfair,
the whole thing's unfair and I am rebelling against the government and I'm not going to repay them, which is the most humorous of the three. As far as I'm concerned, because you you understand that they have your social security number and you. stand that all of your tax return we're gonna go to them and stand that they know where you live, and you understand that the government has almost unlimited power. They can garnish your wages without even taking you to court on your student loans. They don't even have to go through due process, I'm not sure that's constitute no, but they will garnishee your butt without even asking you or the courts. I remember during a covert rebellion. I got my beer, I got the master, I mean the the mystery check deposited in my account, and I remember thinking uh, oh if they can put money just in my account
it just take it out of my account yeah there's a novel idea: baby yup they're coming for you, you gotta, pay your bills. Man gotta pay your bills at sa, as our friendless parrot says, ignoring something like this has a high rate of resurrection correct. So the stuff comes back to haunt your, but that's what so, we did send odd doktor nott knocked her doktor john loans. With me, doctor can common who, a doktor and doktor jade Shaw who's, not doktor to washington d c to hang out and talk to people there in in india area where this all occurred, where the disaster originated called DC, where the stern moment disaster originated, and they ve been hanging out with both students and grown humans and even a congressmen or two talking to them over the last twenty four hours: hey guys, welcome lingering avenues out. Your Davis has been great, show
then I want to add a brief word on the street. I think I want to add a fourth narrative that were hearing here, which is there is a problem we made our bed now we ve got a lay in it and not only. But what can we learn from going forward and you know can- and I have talked to a lotta. We talk to a couple of moms yesterday who had kids that took out student loans. and there are there to. Greece did not our why the way they thought they would and so now The conversation is honestly signed a shift towards what are we gonna do going forward to make sure that more students don't end up in a situation to end up you note to where we can say this for good, even if the government doesn't do their part right now be talking to the american people and we aren't ramsay solutions about avoidance. You know, there's a Cultural message: jade David John. You guys all know this so well. It's been going on since the seventies. That said, that a college degree was the best way to success
some ways almost guaranteeing success in reality, as we know that it's about hard work and gray, effort, tremendous attitude that helps you get ahead in your professional life, and so now we ve got to be able to ask ourselves is, college degree necessary. Certainly if you're gonna be a doctor or a lawyer, that's gotta be the path But as we see in today's world, you can have a wonderful career and technology without ever. Opening the door of the college. So there's two questions that that we too the american people, college a degree. The only way to do that, work that you want to do or is it the asked way, meaning giving you a clear advantage and if that's the case, then do it. But if not here's the great news- and we know this day- there are a whole lot less affordable ways to get there and a whole lot less. I'm consuming. So that's part of it. ramsay solutions, david job, we want to keep people from falling in the river. Now, let's stop that from happening, and that's really a big part of the student and crisis
only that can, but I think what we're doing here on the ground, which is really pulling back the veil and telling people start. people, not just ass. You know sitting in the studio having commentary about it, but talking a real people, to talk to a woman off the record yesterday and die. She was probably I'm gonna guessing sixties. She started with a thousand dollars of student loans coming out of college and over the last twenty twenty five years. That is I went to one hundred thousand dollars because she's just continue to take whatever plan The government would offer her to have the lowest payment possible and I think that that's really a picture of what is taking place. Now we again. The government is offering these plans and students are going as this is great, maybe twenty, twenty five and even thirty years down the line. I have forgiveness, but the young lady though or I should say the mother that I talk to yesterday- was a picture of it That may not be the case and how such a small balance can really grow into something. That's quite overwhelming dealing with a front john is
slowly mandatory, give her on ya, mean what do you mean? You mentioned it with what doktor parents, as this stuff all circle back around on you and you can. Wait and you can wait and you can wait and you will end up paying what we like to call a soul tax you're not going to sleep, your body would be failing. You fill it, you sleep, your body would be failing. You feel that you have great deep, intimate close relationships. While it is terrified the next. She was gonna drop, you're, choosing twenty five, thirty thirty five years of having a life without peace in it for twelve thousand box that would have been a hard year, a hard here, John you knockabout, something so something I want to add to that John. Is you know we were seeing that yesterday when I talked to aerial you know a lot of people are taking these plants. Thinking well, there's forgiveness, but it says in the fine print that the interest that is
crude we'll be forgiven, saw a lot of books are thinking if it's gonna be forgiven probably won't even see it or crew, but we're. Finally, that! No, you will see that interest, a crew and john to your point, what does emotionally to see your bill go up by a thousand of dollars every month. Every year that's got away credibly heavy, and for that reason alone you know you go ahead and knock out me student loans, not keep em around in your life right can as a pen for the net. Twenty thirty year. Eight years is an important thing. I think that all of us just gonna, had the veil ripped off our eyes were last several years. If the from it calls it hey. I got a plan for you. I know you're over your head. Here is a plan. My instant death, setting and dave. You might draw your eyes. This call me naive, but might my default I have been the trust, not mine,
We all have to realise the government does not have our best interests at heart. It has their best interests at heart. This is a money making scheme for them and it keeps people wrapped up for decades after decade after decking pay. These things off get them out of your life once and for all, and you become the director of your life jane and can't good work there in they see on the street, will show you when you get home, god bless I've travels.

How can we hope so Ok, I guess I've been my husband and I have been on your plan, often on by Are we pay off our guy at one point and then I was stupid got back into play, but like scorched earth. You know really really on this plan to gag debt and one If the driving force is is we want to cash flow? Our kids' college? Well- and this is like the perfect day listening to all of these- and these kids having our adults having to pay for college again, all their all their stuff anyways um
I have told my kids. I have a twenty one. Nineteen, seventeen year old girls- and I have told them Since they were in middle school, we will pay for college, but you have to live at home and you have to go to school that we approve ass. You have to have good grade, but we welcome. Blow your school were not doing that. We have been very transparent about the struggle we had with dead, that's the night, and you know the fleet that we learn. I like that.

What's your question, so my daughter refuses to stay home and go to school, she wants to go, do a state school, but she wants to go to w s you, which is over and poor men, which is six hours away require you to live on campus and then you have to have the food programme, which is about twenty five hundred to four thousand. dollars a year, so she's opting out hold on she's up is is very simple: she's opting out of your out of your rule. She opted out yeah, it's it it it difficult. Indeed, absolutely and I've dealt with my tire career has been spent sitting with parents and you drew a hard hard, in a very hard line and a clear line very clearly on this- is it's gonna be in she said cool on, go that way.
and so the other side of a very clear, very firm hard line is other people can say well, then I don't want anything to do with that boundary but that doesn't obligate you to pay. Nor does it mean sugar lawn of your money. Right now I, like I said I wouldn't listen grocery on account of your money. That's the role!

One is gain home, we're paying for school, though we have to stay true to what we say. To unfair to the other two for you do not have integrity. Cracked.

Stager parenting is being apparent to people who are grown up because they're they're allowed to vote now. I can't tell them what to do any more get used. My dad voice it no longer works. I can use it on the radio on a listener, but I can't use do not like it, but that don't even work there actually, but that you know I can't you that voice anymore? Not even the dog listens to my dad voice anymore. It's just gone. I lost my dad voice, it doesn't have to use persuasion with every one. Now My grown kids get the exact same approach when I disagree with them that one of my good friends would get I either to stand back and watch and hold my nose or I sit down beside them You know I love you and I've got some ideas here:
damn things I've done in the past, and it cannot looks like some stuff you're thinking about doing what like some advice from an older, wiser friend, if you go Now then, I have to shut up, but if you say yes I'll give it to you and you have to go out of reno like I've, gotta and in our I've got friends my age who have grown kids that are in their thirty. in the forties, one of them called us the other day and said hey. Ah, we have teens. Georgie raged three great kids. Can we take you and we want to ask you how to do that. I to use, but but what I told them was persuasion. I didn't get to tell them what to do. They ask and I get to tell them what I thought and but that's how you get that shall John persuade me or I persuade john same thing. That's all you can do, but you might wanna, try that cause. I got a feeling in your frustration, your views, your mom voice, absolute in india. it's your kids, can't let your kids culture, bluff right, yeah, yeah, I've!

I love you and I as somebody who loves you, not as your dad, I think, you're making him. stay here and I want you to rethink it, an awesome I want to challenge you want something to now. Particular one, but I'm challenging the the bedrock that you'd anchored into one of the greatest gift apparent can give their kids, sir times. is to say the words I went about this- the wrong way, not
The thing is wrong, but I went about it the wrong I don't think this is wise. It like I want to take you to coffee and say: hey. Let me walk you through. Why making this this choice, because I'll tell you this you in everybody can disagree with me. That's fine, but after work in and I'll just for twenty years for different ones across a couple of states in the consulting in a good julian more. If my kids decide to go college. One of my rules is, you have to live on campus because I want them. Spirits, a bunch of different people and learn about other people. Do life.

I want you to address Some time talk about why well yeah, actual mom and dad sit down and safeguard. We actually both believe this. Ok, it sounds like mom made a line and just go along with it, but why I spoke with It- was right. You gotta talk to a teenager.

Do it absolutely so when you eat it what a big dragged kicking and screaming, but here we were was the shame that I've got nine credit cards and modest it's mine, or was it yolo like one and I want to do what I wanna do. It was definitely part of the shame, and it was definitely that, like it was the norm in my dad's side of the family to have cards and several of them grew up, I'm not in the most traditional way because my parents were separated. So I lived two different ways. So you know as one of the things like a what they did didn't work. How can we make sure that our faintly a set up for success at such a magical transition.

We ve gotta been talking throughout the year three, our programme to day about the student loans restarting and the anxiety around that. But there is a whole lot of different categories of anxiety that are just running rampant in our culture die, and I guess it's the different sources of the anxiety. Well, these different sources. That could be work related. They could be relationship related. It can be fun, aids related can be it a number of things. Calendar related stuff related, but I think much of that difference has more to do with.
How you raise the stories you are told, growin up your genetics. I think there's a cocktail there. So the way I to explain it is if you and I have a house the basement in it and or basement is full of motorcycle repair gear. In my base, it's full of a candle making shop and I met candles. A fire. might send your house to explode in a fire, might reminded a groan and it would just melt gently right. The same fire would cause to differ. reactions and our houses based on in our genetics, the based on what dwarf We raise the tools we have in our took it to deal with it, and so some people may struggle with social anxiety some people may struggle just they just feel anxious alla time some people might give up and want to fight everybody. So people one withdraw, and so I think one of the challenges is we ve created this diagnostic call. It wants to labels individual things. I just one look at fire right: let's do at the fire, it is employed
for researchers to dig into those basement and figure that stuff out. But I ve. all of us need on a regular basis to deal the fire part of the equation in all of us can deal with firebomb shoot we're gonna have a collar. That said, I care I have to deal with all the money issues, because my husband has anxiety. False and I told her You need to correct me, don't from our body, but I told her that him not being involved and taking control proactively with her of the whole. Should Where was increasing his anxiety, one hundred percent, that if he has he gets anxious around money for some reason and we could pull apart for a couple of years, body has put a gps pen in money and it sets off his alarm system and every time he avoids it every time she takes it from him. His bite
actually wins had got what it wanted, which was not to be around their threat. So it reinforces the thing and makes us stronger and feed rise to leaning on his own. It will, it will ring louder and louder and louder and louder, and so the chair with anxiety is the only way to heal from it is through it. You gotta go through it. You got a deal with an end. When you sit down with a therapist it get over something you're anxious about that's one of them. tried and true things you can heal from its ill. Georgiana you're, going through healthy garlic each year, its expose their be they're. Gonna walk you through it step by step until your body quits, reacting to it ending. how to deal with the actual issues, but yeah you're right every time she takes it from him. His body goes well. My case was- and I don't know if this was correct, but my case to her was ambivalence- is more fresh inducing the knowledge of an actual buggy man's details, it could be, it could be, but
I don't want her to do, is to run and be like you, gotta do the budget now, I'm out! Oh no! No! No! I didn't do that. No she's gotten into I'm, not saying I don't want that to be her response. Oh, I didn't know, because I cause people excise real been in not buried by its powerful and often its may I dont want people to walk we. What I'm saying is just an alarm. You get over to go through it s now that works times you got to get somebody hold your hand, walk through it. Sometimes you've got to get a team of people and say I got your front and I got your back and I get your sides. Let's go. Do this thing and but you've got to make your way through it, but the fact that the in their case the the financial problems are stacking up getting worse and there's no lighted them the tunnel.
