I
corner some brandy solutions broadcasting from the pods moving storage studios. This ramsay show its where america job have a conversation about live money, word relationships and bore the phone numbers aaa. Eighty five, five, two to five. I can comment closely with me today: george camel it's comin in camel the law for
should never higher ass for laud via not at all, but we can give you advice it's free, so it is worth what
pay for keep that in mind, but we're here
about specific areas of money and work life issues as well triple eight eight to five five, two to five
bert canada's, where we go next maggie.
their maggie. How can we help
I will often to talk to you directly feel like I'm talking to celebrities. This is really cool. I need to get out more maggie yeah. I gotta tell you, set your sights a little higher if we're celebrities, but thank you for the nice. We're excited to talk to you.
Okay, so I got my question also, I'm a single mom
the full time and I'm just wondering how I can increase,
Starting in income from my side, hustle, ok, what is your side hustle?
I mean reusable being wiped from up cycle material
I gotta tell you. I am absolutely locked in l a how does this. How does one do this and explain what that means up cycle by good, explain the whole deal lol.
I just I buy. I gotta
after a store- and I get essentially like old sheets of people donated obviously like cheaper
damage lines
the damage airlines and of giving meal
and then I essentially
show them together in a nice way that people can use.
To use for baby especially
Would you like baby by might, could I use them and obviously being a single parent? I saved a lot of money that way
so you take all you take used, bedsheets
cut him up. So woman did.
Be bombed, size wipes anew in its like a cloth. Why put its a sheet and then you wash em and reuse them LA la ok. Now
or what is this business done so far?
and has a year but the thing. So I am
we get at making a man
everything else
get really overwhelmed, and
We need to make sure there's a market near to people asking for you. You tell your girlfriends who have babies about this concept. India. The deal let them borrow some, if that's a thing
I guess I have gave some away. I guess a pardon me like maybe feel
Drew them? Just like? Oh, my god, like they're gonna, become a weirdo fur fur bienstock session,
I have an idea that makes any sense. Well, certainly, the really nice thing great. It's extremely nice. I've heard of the reusable diapers- and I imagine it's something similar to that or george doesn't know what this is like, but back in my day, yeah we had cloth diapers, you know of so I get it. It's just falls under that category right, maggie, yes, yeah, yeah
the reason that people moved on from cloth. Diapers is the reason why I think you got a challenge of this product and I don't wanna
a partisan. I here, onawandah poohpooh your idea, no bonnet and no actually intended that poland. Actually I had two. It was just right here, but but but here's the thing
the reason we moved on from that is because of the
just the sheer amount of time that saved.
With the baby wipes in and then
throw away, and then we move on, and I don't wanna again rob-
if your joy on this, but you gotta, determine if there is an actual market for this, and we start small
and it is overwhelming for anybody to have an idea.
no matter what it is and it
get that idea out there, but the way you start is testing in real life. Okay, so
any my girlfriends interested in this. Like you literally to go. Hey unease shoot me straight you're, not gonna. Hurt my feelings, but if, if,
I made these for you and let you
test out. Will you test him out and tell me whether you would do this? You
get some real feedback on the idea here is this could be so
who needs that nobody in the world wants to do it in so doing? Ok, I love
idea. For me, it's
I will do something I want to do by
as really to be a single mom making money. I've gotta do something where I'm using my skill and experience
and I'm transferring value, that's what you
how to do here. So I think it's a long shot on this. I want I want to be unkind, but I
This is just a long, long long shot and I wouldn t put much more time into it
other than it takes to really truly test it locally.
Do you know she would say another? I don't wanna deflate you, but I'm just tell you if you're using this as a passion project needs great if you're trying to pay off dead and you ve got financial goes ahead of you. I think you should find some. U can do today that will bring in money today guaranteed and you can see
work on this and have a passion project and
our ways you can try to test this idea. Media jumped join some of these a kind of crunchy mom facebook groups, people that really want to lean into natural.
what products. What does crunchy mean? That means they're? Very they want to go all natural, they don't want to use. You know traditional medication, they want to use essential oils and more natural. I think that's the target demo maggie. I would assume right of people who would be interested in this
absolutely deftly while you to test it but test it locally
to georgia's point. Maybe in summer some on
communities put your product up their shown. How you do it by giving it up
log pushed out there. You just gotta see if there's any appetite for this product
make sense. I guess I'm just like stress to them on baby statue and it's like I'm a finger.
so working in all
I, if I could work twenty four hours a day. I definitely would be right now, because that's how determined I feel that having a little one it's just like, I need something I can do from home. At least okay and I thought alright. Now, though, so here's the deal, let me help you right there, because I I want
to test this out and keep this thing alive until there is no evidence that says there is a market for this. Maybe there is a market for it. Right now
put that on the back burner
what you need to be doing is: ok, how many hours a week do you have to build a work and work
you do remotely and remote work is as popular as its ever been on this planet.
And you just need to look at what skills you have.
Experience, you have make a list and you ok, I've gotta.
Why? For these type of jobs, maybe to customer service job we're on the phone eczema hours a day, helping people s
fund is not great, but a lot
get out of debt and be at home near the baby, generous tail on our focuses until all the you look, you
do what you can do right now: ok, because of the baby and because
of the debt and everything you got on. We are focused on high
priority stuff right and then
the test. The baby white thing on the sidewalk you're doing that not put any pressure on yourself that
to be a labour of love. So do you want to see if it works, but no pressure on it?
that'll, take away that feeling, george of being overrun,
because listen any
printer, no matter what the product or services just to think of the finished product, and how do I get it out there, but it's going to take years can't get a hero. Lies you analysis, paralysis is what it's called in dub right now you gotta be focus on paying off debt. Then emergency fund, baby step three is is next and then you're on your way and at the margin will free you up to focus on the audio venereal venture. It will I learned a lot. I can't wait to tell stacey what I learned about absolutely the new improve baby way to be alive. It is very exciting. This is the ranch shop.
Back to the radio show I'd get cold it. I've joy by george camel we're here for you, the shower. Taking your phone calls about money life
Relationships and so forth idea of
Of stuff I got, will chuckle still rely,
the conversation old from our own.
The segment. So here we gotta focus and we're going to prison
this mark north dakota
chris actual nearly loud and clear, sir. What's goin on
Yeah so recently started I construction business about six months ago. Nice and business would bend debt.
we and me, and my wife- are almost debt free, just our mortgage on our house. So since I started the business, our budget and kind of everything to keep that out of debt was
in our budget married in kenya throughout the window. So now that were a little bit
it kind have a pulse for our income with business,
I'm trying to figure out which it but you how much? I should think myself from the business and Howdah kenneth
make a formula that sure
Turkey give us an idea. What your cash flow situation is. What would bring it in full
by the business. It seems
it's really up and down, but it feels like it about average of media five to six grand profit. Ok
and that includes after paying you or no didn't know that,
That's what I'm trying now! That's what I thought you ok! So that's five or six grandma we're not paying you yet aren't. Are you making earning money anywhere else? Any income, my
She has a couple part time jobs and so far that she's been going into our are merged
we've been trying to build up a little bit further, our great you're living off what your wife makes and you got five to six or average five to six k and profit from the consumer,
The company is at all sitting in a savings account.
Yeah. I mean I've been calling out. What are you too to pay myself? It's it's in some business account and I've just been calling as I need to,
look here have theirs and that's why I'm confused, as I asked you if you, if of that profit,
You are paying yourself- and you said no, but now you're saying you ve been all in some out,
yeah yeah. I guess that's. That's five! Grand of what the company make an that's. That's toll thought of that five grand issue. I've just been able to
he's just pull money, as I e that ok do you have any savings for the company.
The company yards, it's rape rate close to grand with tough
Ok, so
beyond your overhead, your expenses, all of that how much
could you pull from the profits
I thought if I wanted to see through delusive debt free month, everything's pay, like probably take you, know three or four grand
Oh man, so, let's say, used our pain herself, a salary of four grand a month at forty eight thousand a year, you dear one, knitting and goal, is to increase that every year as you
have more and more profit, and you start to get a handle on the overhead.
You're, putting some of this and retained earnings and savings for the business as well from that profit.
That's what I'm trying to figure out how? Well you guys got time, so you get
one thousand in the company savings account right now
and so george I'm Libya's anywhere. I think I'd be,
more conservative george I'd kind want to see him. Try to
that himself, if possible, to
maybe twenty five hundred a month. Let's say he keeps that average of five thousand. This is rule of thumb. I want to get what your take is. George, there's no hard and fast rule just put a red out there, but I just be conservative right now. If I were you chris in your shoes, well, especially, the construction equipment is expensive right and so I'd want to build up the company's retained earnings as what we call it. In entre leadership, we talk about savings for a company, I'd probably be
I myself have
so let as say on a six thousand dollar profit month, maybe payers.
Three and put three in retained earnings account. I wanna
economics. Hilarity fires is personally so that I
and build up the safety gland in the in the preparation for this construct
company, which hopefully we get to a point where you got
six months of your income in that account use your own goal with those rate
you were elected in o thou
What's once it gives, gets one in your spit, not more profit united,
that formula changes you pay yourself, more save a little less
and as it grows, things might change as you might. You know, higher few team members is at the goal for you
that kind of a possibility- probably not eight and soon he, but you have a big,
thing right now is just dumb in other businesses is doing well.
Up on its own work, be like I did try to kill myself consistently
and then budget from that
I think, you're right. I think europe
yeah you're, doing it the the right? Why have you read the book? Entre leadership, yet.
No one yelling, okay, that'll, be our gift to you today and you're already living out a lot of the principles in our book. This is Dave. Ramsey's number one best selling book how he built this place from a card table in his living room to the empire. It is today with eleven hundred team members and a whole campus andrew
doing it right. The biggest peace here is doing it all dead free and you ve done
and and you're moving at the speed of cash and your
willing to pay yourself a small amount right now, as you grow this thing, and so I wouldn't
a personal goal to increase my salary every year and we are
business owner like that they could
what more margin you might have an amazing here and you pay yourself a hundred grand
and you ve got the savings and you're you're doing it the right way, so we're gonna send you that dog. I think it'll help walk you through that. You can also listen to the entre leadership podcast, which I
Or were helping leaders and business owners when every single day, that's enough to hear that you and great show yegg increase you're, doing it the right way.
Grow slow. You know, and in
ok, be small right,
small and slow is the way to get this thing going. This construction company, because it is a it is
customer based business in the sense of they start
about you, hey crystal
a job on this critical and they start spread the word you can have more work than you can keep up with, and then that put you in
great place as georgia, saying as you have to maybe go out in and induce him. You know sub contracting and things like that, so you're off to a good start
really proud of you. I love seeing a guy starts him like that. Haven't ten grand insane
and no debt on the business. You don't haiti that a specially construction, because it's very tempting
and you can make a reasonable case if you're not anti debt. The way we are that all are going to have the socratic go. Get this fifty grand tractor can to get this thing started yeah exactly. I love how you talked about the physic. You know a lot about tractor. I know just enough to be dangerous. Right. Kevin is up next in Boise, idaho,
Kevin. How can we help.
They were day my call guys I'm sick,
five years old. I turned sixty six next.
mt, I owe my own business and planning on
continually working, I'm also planning on taking
social security march of twenty twenty three
so use part of my first curing the paperwork
term insurance, as well
Already putting in kicking a twenty percent into retirement love ira whatever
also how to get free. Thank you, dave and staff
and we have five or six months already an emergency fund in what should we
with the rest of the fifty five is or security model at after which are collecting it.
Also, due to the thirty day you just to the thunder european vacation payments
hey
night, a garage, so how much is a long term? Insurance gonna cost you almost they probably
the six hundred a month. Ok,
and have you shop that with our with our friends zander online?
not been going to be. Okay, make sure you do your homework on that to make sure you're getting the best rate, and so you can jump on ramsey solutions, dot, com and do that. But once you have,
at number now will begin
as part of your monthly budget
and you are still running this business helmet. What's your household income.
We need forty two thousand last year and you re voting month off and all that
So did good you're living our lot less. You make that fantastic
what's in your nest. Egg!
we have Bobby
The ten months and months you fun but be
that you have any and investing in the irish for one gaze watching them.
I don't I've got Ross what's to eighty thousand, the eighty thousand. Ok,
So the question is: how are we going to a long term plan for retirement and then what is the best use of the money in the different buckets and sorry?
working with the financial adviser right now, he is. Are you ok
I would sit down with them and make a game plan not just for the next year, but hey. What is the next ten years look like? When can I actually retire and then
how can I use that social security best in a show? You use some of the tax advantage money first to cover long term care verses using my social security. I would say
with the social security for now, but I'm curious to see what a fool plan
But look like, as you map out all the different buckets you have to utilise
it gives you might live another thirty years, and so I want you to run out of money either.
Really but boy? Is he in great shape and come on you're? Coming off the thirty day trip to europe, you're debt, free yeah? We didn't get a postcard, I haven't seen Kevin. Did you stay well away?

Those who had a payment

cod end. You know you have this bill on the whole. For about two of you,

Because yeah I've tried
I do a job, but I was on the phone. Probably I lay
the phone down, though yeah
they're gonna get household project joyously that thing on hold
I been there in full a couple of loads of laundry before they pick up yeah wash clothes. Do it alabama? How did they tell you what this is for? It doesn't say what
or your reminder balanced view of tax.
Out of this legitimate after seven years and you haven't been work and I ve been filing any kind of return. Do you have any harm
at no
the letter. I feel you know the little scale with the eagle. I think that
the eagles or whatever. Nobody knows nobody wants to look at the iris letter had long life to know when does well I'll. Give you some homework to do either. Go to iris dot, gov, slash hell, a
I urge that girl,

but do your homework and don't buy a diamond till you verify this with them? And if you do oh it, you gotta get this
bugger off your back and you can do whatever it takes to
together the money and
what about one of our tax advisors I feel like they could help her yeah it's worth reaching out to one of them at ramsey solutions, dot, com, and you can click on our recommended pros there and get in touch with a tax advisor and see who will look at this letter and know whether it's legit number one and number two?

I should try that sometime well used your allergic to everything but
the idea of a monotonous task,
That is so mundane. What happens is the brain? Does fire
just gets really creative. In that time allotted that is really good advice. We dont let ourselves get bored enough in today's culture. Teeming get there that's exactly right.
Just alone with your thoughts is a good thing. We need to do more of that right to Kansas city. Missouri, we go Jonathan is their job, and how can we help.
are you doing, king George man?
A black hawk oil.
Yes, sir?
The question is working at my four seven year: the union that I had a person's emma.
Driver dad delivery driver now sat in a lever
We now have an opportunity to switch today,
at times.
Come where only docks deliver?
I'm having trouble with it, because I'm listening
father. Would you rather have to try to find a cure or
baby sitter in the morning. Ok, that's a tough one, because
As you know, day care is very, very expensive. It, sir.
What's your situation now who's watching the kids when you're on the night shift
Right now, my mother watches:
my daughter is like
get out in time. My little sister will come pick her up and I'll just go to my little sister's house and grab them like enough. So what's the what is,
What would the new schedule be? What would the hours be that you need to cover childcare?
where.
technically eighty four, but with myself
in a truck driver ago, gotta eighteen seats?
Ok, so your daughter's nodded school that when a machine
Now she now before march. Right now, I gotcha well
You know I wish I had a slicking answer here. That was just hate.
Two three four, this. What you do I dont think
Said simple, because of
You don't have the family that can watch the child during that time and
does doesn't sound like give many options there and then take
is extremely expensive?
it pretty much put you in a bad financial situation. Is that use
Where are you all right now financially
now currently omber easter to buy.
Here, too, I know how much that you have left.
I had fifty thousand lives and what kind of debt is that
hi allows laudable
still allows an ass
states are moved from pre marriage and what
Income
Come on now is sixty around sixty the sick.
The youth,
It will be dropping down at fifty eight thousand.
to take the position of my worries. You get ed drop
income and we have to now have extra expense with childcare?
So I don't see how that would work logistically right now for you, it may in the future
once we're out of debt. What's the car worse,
my car, the car, I don't have the car the more basic
the car alone, but you stole the car but you're still paying loan
the louder right now.
I'm playing on one of the loans from the car. Even I don't have any more, whereas the car they took you to court
they were written. This man
and you got multiple our loans
yeah I mean a lot of bad mistake. You're! My path,
that's our I lie or destroying
I'll be creative path forward here. What are your options with the repose car.
I now want to eat a court little
before I
actually got connected with you guys,
the settlement amounting to fifty a month until his spade
the other one I haven't been contacted.
For now yet, but I know listening to you guys to try to have some money to where I can celebrate it for a cheaper price.
On the dollar, helping me where's, the other car
not only the one avi thereabouts right out,
yeah here, don't either drive around the truck right now, just for work
I say that the bombing taskbar alcohol yoda
I'd like to know what you would identify as the best way based on your area and your schedule and what you like to happen for you to make more money and
especially in today's world, were drivers, are a premium
but I know you can't do over the road stuff because of the child, but
just. I wonder how we can make more money. I would be focusing on how can I
he's my income to the point at where day care while expensive,
would be something that I can offset ends
it'll get out a debt still save, because I feel, like that's gonna, give you more freedom in europe
life to do you know what I mean where you're, not in
night owl schedule and not get to see your baby, and I just I want
identifying and looking for opportunities, it may be a lot more attractive financially for you to where you can then a few
the daycare
Alonzo, currently very sorry,
before other jobs,
trying to find some becker, also paying me it's just like I said, with the truck in business
some time you're not really set time. That's right where you will be well and to your point,
to get out of the the trucking business is, is something to be looking at how we have wages at an all time. High right now- and you know
he's in that sixty five
thousand dollar range. You know to be able to make twenty five thirty five dollars an hour in manufacturing and warehousing right now is very realistic, yeah and depending on the
but independent on the area
to be able to have a set schedule. Where are you
schedule your life around I mean this is doable Jonathan in and you know you ve gotta be
point going. Ok, I've got skills and I've got some experience, not limited to driving a truck in it.
Like there's a little bit of that on you and-
you're standing it it's. What you know
but the reality is that if you think george, you know what what
If your higher in someone's gonna drive a truck yelling for somebody who's dependable, some is gonna. Do
there's positive shop once was show up a lot of autonomy in that you gonna get. You know
the coroner girls is right, but the ability to
work, you know in manufacturing warehousing which again were seen jobs explode. That's why I'm specifically mentioning that
there's a lot of the same crossover you don't have to have a ton of experience. You gotta be dependable. You gotta be train
both teachable coachable and
then you can get a situation where you know to offset
george. What would you say to someone like him whose in a situation like that, we go man, chocolate
it costs x amount of love, so
salary after taxes to budge that it is doable but you're going to have to increase income there, because we can go from sixty to eighty? And even if we use that twenty to cover childcare, the gap
still puts us in a better spot, because now he's got a normal schedule and it is
the quality of life and then something to consider and all
to an absolute in a life, as happened to Jonathan and that's tough,
and when you've been knocked down like that, it's hard to get back up and believe in yourself and go. You know what I am worth more than this. I am going to go hustle and find another gig, but a lot of even trucking jobs haven't seen a lot of bonuses these days and so
even jumping to another company for a short period of time,
get a bonus. It helps you knock out some of its debt, I'm glad you brought
you know, maybe in the
turkey does get a trucking another trucking jobs working at crazy shit, but he's got it out.
It has currently been taken care of my family, and so what he does is I'm gonna pay off all that debt on a fix that, then it gives me some more free, so a lot of options there Jonathan keep your head up. You can do this. I promise. Thank you so much for the call, george great our takes on buddy you you're, so fall festival the same one.
