This one can help him. I'm I always your recent him the money.
Take a lot of good people out there and I could give to act so that some strange generosity yeah, that's
I forget is that weird, I don't know it's okay, it's just it's! I mean if you want to do it, I'm not mad at you or it just would you
It made its highly unusual
like other. I don't like it. Thirty years, I've ever gotten. This com

for ten years is a million and a half plus the growth
The time is easily another half may and probably another million. Actually,
I can't tell you are ten times a hundred and fifty one point: five million thirty
and affording rightly so that citizens would have regularly.
yeah you don't have to have like a calculator or anything to do that. You can do that one in your head. So then, then you just add some. You know the gross.
since you're gonna make on top of that during that time is astronomical and so will be.
Yeah there's another million easy on there in growth yeah.
Just about seven about seven years or say be in great shape, because work really smart, Mr Prodi lay out a plan shovel the cash over there and
The trick is to avoid getting error

open the harris marguerite s very good good to have you guys and all the way to nashville to do that free scream, how much of you paid off so we got
of two hundred and twenty nine thousand cash flowing a hundred nine thousand and sixteen months? Woe?
what was your range of income during that time we started out
at eighty one thousand and increased to one hundred and thirty two thousand and then any stimulus. Sir child tax credit went right to our debt cool. Did you shall fumbling, but do you do that?
part of our story, no gas or will tell your story one. So in two thousand fourteen I got out of physical therapy school. I graduated with my doctor and physical therapy, and so we had over two hundred thousand dollars and student loans, and at that point I went on pinterest and started looking up ideas of how to get out a debt, and I found the babies
and in the same week my little sister mentioned Dave ramsay. So I read that complete I'd money and today's total money make over in two days or mirage and we attended appeal to him. Oh yes, we got gazelle intense at that time, but then we too
to start a family and shame became a stay at home, died at that point and one the pandemic and twenty twenty b
but I work for was offering a ton of over time. So I worked from three a m to seven. I am, and I went to my full time, job until four and then shame went to work.
for thirty p m to one. I am well aware and around the clock: why would you make him bank?
Yes, I was not a hundred thirty two. You made a lot more than one hundred thirty do that you're yeah! That was our taxes for last year, but
it was with all that work yep all that work, but we lived on nothing basically, nothing. I mean when I, when we went gazelle intense, like we relied on christmas for people
this, like underwear and socks, but not the other way we wanted to get it done. So, ok,
you said you paid off two hundred and twenty nine in sixteen man, yes making one thirty two that doesn't work out. Some of the other part of our story is the debt where's, our suv, our student loans at that point, that more about a hundred and a hundred thousand range and then
Own two houses right next to each other and our long term plan was to combine the two houses by getting into debt was more important to us. So we decided to sell the smaller
the two houses I got rid of the eighty nine thousand dollar mortgage and though we put the twenty nine thousand dollar profit to our students. Now more members, your work and good will good for you. Was it worth it a definite
was, I mean you know, since the struggle I would say like
we first got married because it was just like you know. It
throw money away and just money would go here vacations and now it's just you know we have that money now and
I was a struggle. Yeah, probably megan, like what's a thousand
dollars in here. Maybe when we first started that we got very right twelve years ago, but we found we found you in about twenty fourteen and then went gazelle intense and twenty twenty
it. This come from and sounds like just overnight. It was like a one, eighty yeah well
like, I said we knew about you and we were is gazelle intense before children, and then we kind of what
diversion and then twenty
when you with the pandemic, we didn't have anything else to do and, like us said my hospital offered so much overtime. So I was able to pick that up. There were other other side, jobs that we had just like babysitting dogs. I mean we sold everything that we owned know everything I mean the kids really did think that
if we're going to the next. So I'm wondering if I because of the
the opportunity for extra work. You math,
Gotta go see that we can do that and that got your back to intensity, yet the hope
hope major go again and yeah sure you went from gazelle
David or ramsay issue, and then
then, when you shall hey, we could pick up his work and finish this and you got to game on again I'm starting to understand what happened. God,
a good way to go. You guys are. What are you tell people the key to getting out of that is, I would say, hard work dedication. I mean you really have to put it in time like if you want something you gotta go for, and that was something that we want it to change our in our family tree and for our kids to have a better life. So I am glad that we did it and we follow the steps. I say: work ass, well, work, work, work, work around the clock and also having a strong. Why
I appreciate that Anthea says if your, why doesn't make you cry the press, a commitment? Well, though, having our strong, why our boys and then also
Staying connected to the podcast and the baby steps? Facebook group, I think we're really beneficial.

George Campbell ramsey personality is my co host today. Thank you for joining us america. Open phones are aaa eight to five. Five two to five Adam is whether it's in toronto. Hi Adam welcome to the ramsey, show
married or do good man what's up.
We also know why he shouldn't say nothing quite a bit but yeah just a little bit of a recap back in two thousand and sixteen, my wife and I did, as you say, a stupid with zeros on the end of it. I spent a lot
that way. Seventy paid off about sixty five thousand bucks
eleven bunch.
and don't ever do it, I'm getting down for it at risk free, but anyway,
for now and ass. I guess couple years colbert it
destroyed by industry, I'm a pilot in canada here thoroughly took about. He had just going
recover. Now, that's all with distress that kind of brought about
the marriage issues along with it and got
than a really bad spot right now, I guess we both got are
and down
not sure if she wants to work on the marriage or what she wants to do, and what kind of thy that such they obeyed, but only resulting in the aftermath of the
she decided that she's gonna spend. However, she wants to spare been kind of cargo baxter.
He or she say we'd make too much money. Does the where'd you dropped aberdeen restricted to kind of spending
HU. I tabled two thousand dollars a month over what we make and
the result of sky, depleted armoured, definable, scouted, dusting
She's signed up for elective surgery to the tune of about ten thousand dollars, and when I got a question on the timely it she said. Well, I meter either we planned it. Somehow.
Your answer indiscriminately will credit card. You myself,
and saw her but everytime I bring applied at this to her to work to talk about it. She says europe.
with money. You gotta stop being so obsessed by train
his prayer to the reality that were spending. Why did we make
gotta gradually bankrupting samuel, defoiled children,
trying to put money aside for them as well.
retirement, now kind of getting back on her feet. We do make good money
but the reality is spending way too much and.
I have no desire to even talk about it. She'll stonewall me everytime. I try to bring it up and I'm worried that I'm going to tip over the edge in the marriage. If I talk too much about finances,
you're. My marriage married already reagan. Why? Yet
I urge you, like I'm gonna, given the drunk a drink, I'll inherent enlightened, everybody knew him
your marriage has already gone
yeah? Why does that mean she she does she does. She does want to make it work now. She does that how she does not write her around. No, she doesn't people,
do the things to say the things she's doing have no desire for this marriage to continue. When you say
like if you dont go. If you don't pay for,
ten thousand dollar I'm just gonna, put on the credit crunch screw you, you don't have a vote.
This is not a marriage, not someone that has a marriage anymore. That wants to work at all and so what I
would do. If I were in your shoes, is the two of you would say: I'm going to go see a marriage counselor and its
they're going to work with you on how we learn to get back on the same page and we have a future together. That's going to increase
thus both being grown ups and
You want to go with that. That's fine! If not the marriage counselor going to instruct me on how to bring this marriage to an end
yeah. We have done some counseling. It did have a couple of times gym just trying to get her to come back to it is the hard part and she's very reluctant yeah, you're, begging or islam do stuff. Then she'd. You know, and she has no desire. She's, obstinate, she's, angry and she's done. She's done maria over
it's up to say that, because you don't see that still does she want to she's lying what she says now what she's doing and so that learning
again the people want their minority work do not behave the whether she is behaving yes, I would agree. Ok,
So she s long.
elected for ten thousand dollars when you're broke in the families in financial stress. That so
salvation asinine. I can't even put words to it. The final: that's that's! Gonna
I got to know now I did it, I wasn't it just hear this fact. He s not an opinion.
That that is Hirsch screaming in your face that she's done now.
Yeah! I know I don't really like to think about how we already, but it is not a nice outcome for anybody at its best and pick
sure you did it. I think you're just the one than owing to admit it yeah now I would,
with you goin back a couple months that she was done it. However, she caught with political people in her life in the last quarter. To that
bring around her attitude has changed, but then that would involve you just getting a good getting or the good marriage counselor immediately. Yes, but then you need to drought action.
Since it has admitted that that is it
option? I read it to procure a bottle of a couple weeks ago what she has said. This is what I want
lights and refer also to focus on the family, and he said yes, that is an option,
so I'm just gonna try to not
her, because she did I'm gonna precious hours now. It's time to push her it's time to push. You
your house is on fire. It's boring
down around you.
Get out of the house.
push somebody
I'm definitely ever bring stuff up fairly regularly benefit young children.
They do not want to push roadside together. Her emotional
I to engage at one hundred working like is buying nice? Is not nice
Thank you. You think you can beg and be sweet and cause this to happen and its outcome
asking you to be mean to her
you're acting like that. You can beg her into mourning
do this. She has to stand up square her shoulders and say: I'm going to re, engage in this marriage and reengage us to adults on how to run our household and she
to do that. Under the heading of a therapist and the two of you learn to work together again, you can not marry her to behave. Yes, I agree with that.
Totally it's you know I I just. I can't change her. She have to decide to do it at the matter of you know, trying to get your obviously lots of
then other differences influence younger to get around her. Absolutely change. Your heart saw absolutely insane, as this is an emergency hydra shining around. You guys need to be sitting with a counselor.
and she needs to be going and if she's,
going
then we need to know what that we need to admit
that says it all
there is not a financial technique, that's a problem here
the financial problems in the financial spending are all about her obstinate and utility
don't talk your way around it where it's all somehow. Ok,
it's not ok. Ok
doesn't work that way, and so
if our whitney decided to start
I start telling george what she was going to do. George would have one ain't have a thing where you know: here's what we're going to do
Well, sure what solution tell me what to do? We should now we talk
two adults. We devise a plan on how we're gonna do
the calendar held under the budget. How we live our life, we work together towards com.
and also called quality relationship in your marriage
but when people start throwing around they're just like come on, do whatever I want to do and they get thou all ted head, bobbin thing going and you
Didn't I got married, then it's you know you you, you ve got a mesh on your hands and you ve got to go back and trot
try to learn how to be married and ended. That takes both people and you can't be
egg, some one to behave. You cannot control someone else's behavior.
Behaviors anything you can control.
and you put a situation, I go. If you do this than your choosing to opt out, if you do
sure choosing to opt in and but I can't make you choose that
Then you can use prison options to her, but that decide.
I'm gonna, let her be go, ruin our family and bankrupt us so that
being nice and letting her do stupid, but stuff, that's gonna ruin our family than that.
Caused her to go to counselling. That's that's! That's a false narrative that doesnt work. That's if the osprey
for her going to counselling is so that is cause
bribed that by you.
you putting up with a bunch of crap, then,
No, that is not how you start rebuilding this thing
I know you guys need you desperately. Both of you need to sit in the counseling counselors
immediately or you're, not gonna, make it and the spending stuff is
not we're not gonna muddling along with it, and if you, if you don't like it
part of what we can talk with the counselor about or it's part of what we can talk to the divorce judge about one of the two. We
but I'm not going along with this, because it it's not right,
not suggesting you leave today. I am suggesting that the
of you get into the camp
where's office boy,
years ago, but right now for sure it's only best option.
best time to plant oak tree to thomas today, oh yeah, that's a great quote. She sees him as basically a doormat at this point cause she knows. Well, I'm just gonna do what I want. He he's not going to tell me off. Yeah, he's,
and have a convoy. You have to stop being scared that you're gonna.
The marriage to end by pushing
from pushing the marriage to succeed this that that's
that is not going to work. It's not going to work. You may end up nowhere, but bankruptcy, court and divorce court. At the same time, oh man, what a horrible thing you're going through, I sure hope she comes around. I hope the two of you getting counseling enough open, saved your marriage, but you know you participating in crazy is not going to make crazy go away. This is the ram teacher

every game millionaire had a network of bout. Why
wait story after I'd? I know after he spoke
with my siblings, obviously my share will be a third of that one of the things you laugh,
it's an annuity and I'm just not sure what to do with.
my share of the annuity, I don't open source cashed it out

I don't even know what to do with continuity, that my question you are the one of,
beneficiaries on the annuity, Aisha. Yes, sir, I will just take my money.
ok and then do with it. Wherever you are in the baby steps you don't
what you don't need, an annuity. You dont want money and an annuity at your age and leisure in a very unusual situation. How much money is this?
That's about authority cuban? You need only about forty two thousand out of the one point: three,
Where are you in the baby steps.
well. Let's see, I guess I'm four five and six I am contributing. Fifteen percent in two
Can we finding my retirement with this inheritance,
my dad all put away a big chunk for my kid further,
knowledge and then the rest I guess put towards my house.
keep your aunt euro uses forty two and five or six.
And the same with the rest of it is the fourth
Before the split with the three of you, that is before this point
ok I'll show you only get in fifteen twenty thousand dollars.
Yeah they're hooker, definitely doesn't take the money if you use that probably towards
Its college or wherever it doesn't matter free money, you don't have, any income
action on it. You know
have any penalties on it. You don't have anything on it and I am so sorry for the last year, not so sorry what a horrible thing to go through
Brian's, whether in Chicago, hey, Brian, welcome the ram she.
No, are you great man? What's up.
Well, I'm divorced. I've been divorced,
but five years,
and are currently paying for these five years have been paying my ex wife spousal support payments of
but twenty one hundred a month and
was based on my income at the time of a hundred and ten thousand, but now
My incomes only sixty thousand due to what a coded
damage to my business and so forth is not able to make as much money. So I wanted to see a adjustment to the spouse or support. Came
and it's kind of up in the how much
the adjusted codes,
to the judge and done
if we were getting divorced today, based on my
income
I would only our about six hundred dollars a month, but when you
the modification
they don't know shall apply that they are the same principle. We
leave it up to the judge and how much he the other,
The adjusted based
the change of circumstances, not sure how can we already well
in the discussions on how to get this
Finally,
Why has loaded the idea of she'd be willing to take a walk,
fine, you buy out so like
heads the pay her for life, for until she gets remarried or
Maybe when I retire can be adjusted but she's
to take a bite out,
fifty thousand dollars and
I'd be
the one and done payment
would not allow any more but
due to my financial situation, I don't have
that money. The only way.
Yet it is to take it up,
my. I watch
I mean age, sixty
and I ve only got about seventy thousand dollars in an ira how she so she stood before? No now you can afford to do it,
Well, I guess that unless I take it out of a and b, I can't believe you take it out of your already rugged charge, the penalty of ten percent plus your tracks ray
Your borrowing money at thirty, five or forty percent interest,
to buy her out. That's not a good deal
don't think, there's a panel because fifty nine and a half you can all I'm trying to help. You just got by your tax rodya banal, manacling out you're right, I'm ok, number
The eu does have a financial adviser diarrhea.
I do and I talked to him and he was
totally against the idea, because when
compare that wasn't what I was asking can I need him to do as I need him to do. A net present value calculation for you
twenty one hundred a month for twenty years and what
is that gonna come out. That's twenty!
we're thousand dollar twenty five thousand dollars a year.
For twenty years now fifty grand
probably not a bad offer.
Right. I mean it would really.
help me out, because there's no
I find that she's gonna get remarried or anything right now and I could be paying her indefinitely for many many years and that's a term.
The strain on, my finances stood to pay her now, what are you doing to get your business back.
well, you know I've. I've done
of marketing and advertising. I've done some now
working in,
you know online stuff in its just very difficult, it hasn't hasn't been working, some really struggling. I want you're finance
failure to do a net present value calculation on this until
What you're rate of return is because there's a thing
ultimately discounted
value or in other words, age. A stream of payments is not worth the total twenty five.
for ten years is not worth two hundred fifty thousand.
But it might be worth fitted out,
and I probably is,
it probably is probably a very low discount rate or high discount right.
And so on
and you have your ear. Financial adviser. Explain that to you and run the catalan run, a calculation dive said on net present value and
I think it's going to be north of fifty thousand, so I think that's going to make this a good deal now what you have
gotta. Do, then is you have to take the twenty one hundred dollars a month and you don't have any more as a bill and you have to
down and dirty about bree building this next egg, a sap yeah george
yeah, I mean what I'm saying hears you can see,
The adjustment is, but I don't want you to limit your income because you now have this new payment. When you go out, I want to make any more cause: they're gonna, just it again, and so I'd rather
get this income up and do a dave saying and see if we can fix this thing once and for all? Instead of paying this for life, I, like I like being rid of the bill and her she's. The ex both of these are good things, and I like every bit of that, and so it's not a bad thing. I just wanna make sure the calculations right and I can't do it in my head right now, but I'm thinking what I am doing in my head is leading me to north of fifty.

Are you fantastic dave? Welcome? Where do you guys live about an hour south of kansas city, Missouri? Okay, what town butler alright

Forty six thousand eight hundred eighty five dollars way to go and how long did it take for years and nine months, love
and your range of encumber in that time result
around ninety two thousand got up to one hundred hundred and one and ended around ninety five thousand, ok cool. We all do for living, I'm a test.
Operation specialists was engender
working in sales and marketing and I'm also a ramsey solutions. Financial coach, oh wow, very cool thanks. What kind of debt was the one? Forty seven are more, oh, look at where paypal way to go
you guys are pretty incredible. How old are you I'm thirty one?
do a paid for how now this house worth
in two fifty three hundred, it's a house sharpen little but a land. Look at you guys
all you're. All artists, no payments in the world, not alone and your thoughts,
be two years I'll walk. This is worse than a trend here, David. It's a good trend. It is young people pay off their home, you them young people, but
After all, this is incredible. So for years nine months you guys really one
This thing work what cause
his journey to start four years nine months ago for you yeah, so it actually start a little bit before that I actually got on Dave's plan about eight or nine years ago kind of had a wake up moment. I got on his plan and I was able to pay off my existing debt, save up twelve thousand dollars and pay for an engagement ring for
We got married
and ass, I had a really good start going into the marriage.
I wasn't early familiar with dave or the financial peace or anything until Austin came into my life, but was
fortunate to get a good job didn't have a whole lot of expenses had accompany vehicle and things. So
was a little bit shocking to me at first, whenever three months,
before we got married, he made me start keeping track of all expenses and budgeting and whatnot just yeah strong that autonomous part of the bill to worry about to get married, and this is the deal well and I joke that. There's actually five gospels for Austin Matthew, mark luke, John and dave. My theme for life is if, if Dave says that I do it plain and simple: oh wow, that's a dangerous jump off of cassettes power. I don't know if I can handle that. We actually, then, did take financial peace university right after getting married and move lad, a couple of courses, so I learned the the process pretty quickly after we got married. He brought me along now, you're now you're teaching it for exactly what I feel like we're kind of the poster child for the house buying process because it went through.
After we got married, we
the house. A year later we had a really nice down payment. We won't fifteen. Your mortgage, we plan to pay it off early. We set everything up to do,
exactly like, like your demand, so we were very excited in that
can that plan take place and when even better than we hope do, and even in over even better than we anticipated by following your exact planning process. Now it's kind of our guiding shifted the whole times we may that purchase.
happening I got rid of.
Off early yet, and I mean along the way, every single extra dollar that we got went towards paying the house off. We were folk,
in on that's our goal. We're gonna get it done, we're gonna, get it done early justice, quick
They possibly can so familiar like a hundred per year involving payments exactly nine during the enemy. We had things that could have set us back. Our basement flooded with
the first year of
living there but be
the emergency fund. We are able to take care of everything and then get right back on
track on paying off the house richer as missions girl, we actually bob vehicles with cares. What we're doing this with cash flow took his burs, so we were doing a lot's all of us.
in time when this happened and whenever I kind of veterinary thing and whenever we bought the house,
I ve been self employed for a vast majority of the time. So I very
when can. I was dealing with so I said: ok, we're gonna, make the payment
stand your income. What we know we can do everything
I can make we're going to throw out an extra, and so there was months where we didn't have the thousand dollars a month extra. We really wanted to put on and there's most that we had some nice bonus or some nice checks, so we could put another two thousand dollars on it and just that
flown really made us just focus and say no to a lot of things, but know that this is only one in that bean and work and do whatever it takes to get there as well.
I have intentionality rolling around on here. How much money do you guys put down then on the downpayment? We are about forty per cent down, while just like the last debt free scream, I'm just seeing a trend here dave- and you said they planned a big down payment with a fifteen year fixed and they're sitting here you know twenty eight or thirty years age, thirty, two right and there. This is the last the last two in a row and but it's odd
so you guys listening. I mean this
what this means is, you can do this and
You guys are just like you shall poster children and the thing
is this: if you find a a system that is proven, work the system,
that that's you know we can joke and call it gospel day. That's a little bit! That's pretty blasphemous! We may all get struck by lightning, but
we can joke and say Dave's rules. We can joke and call george rules recall whatever we wanna call it. Not that really matters. All that matters is a proven. You've gotta have a system, and you gotta
the system and its approval system. So you don't need a big system that broke this, not broken,
so you guys are incredible. I'm so proud, as he is she's kind of got a funny story as though, whenever it came time where we were actually going to pay off our house out,
austin came into the house and he says I got something really crazy that I
to just run by you
so that this last year we had a lot of things happen our earlier. That kind of through us off course and honestly,
I questioned overcome,
pay off in time and are based upon we go in and I was driving other it one day if more farm
and god is kind of my my goes. You need a thing
bout? This debt pay off? We we're on trying to get a pet, often about seven eight years
An hour sudden, I realise how much our loan balance was
and we have extra money soon, savings
we may we will actually start investing for some land in the future and we had some nine that we had just been budgeting
on the mortgage from our our normal jobs, and I felt
fellow members together and it
came to within a hundred dollars at the exact amount of our loan balance
I came home. I said honey europe,
the mortgage tomorrow,
My browser is, I was like you're crazy, there's no way, we don't have the money to do this and then just sitting down and doing them
as like, actually it is there we can do this. We can. We show that account from the land account to the mortgage reduction to the mortgage.
You guys are amazing and now you're free, and I you good pilot cash like crazy

this way. We're going to save up, but giant down payment are going to pay it off early. They decided all of that before they ever went about paying off the home yeah. It wasn't like they woke up in trouble and then had to go, get themselves out of trouble and then got out of every step was intention. Everybody every bit of it from day one while power of this power of the stuff, especially when you start early and especially when you pre make the decision. That's a good way of saying that George very well done this is the ramsay show. I get
heart breaking calls me males all the time from people dealing with the loss of a spouse or parent, and many of them can't even grieve properly, because there too stressed about the money.

I should like my all former, what's up
janet midshipman second year midshipman at united naval academy and I'm dead.
Am I trying to figure out how to get my outlook
one forward
graduate here in two and a half years with no debt
I had the option of doing that or I can take with called it
career starter. Loan from usa are a lot of points.
you're, lucky guy
The idea of the cover your car and started, but you're not covered. You are you're borrowing. Money work are
fair enough! That's what my brother in law. Can you say that was easy hold on the other option was graduate debt free yeah?
no fifty grand and debt right, thirty, two,
what's wrong with my those people for doing that to you guys you guys are serving your country. Thank you so much for who you are young man. Thank you. Please, don't falling into a ditch, ok go there was
we ain't financial letter there like well most people to do it beat that the interest of a year in the stock market. I mean
Let me tell you what they are. Therefore, crap.
Guy, let me tell you why I know that a modest
making this up. We studied maxed
thousand millionaires, the law,
just study of millionaires ever done in north america. The
how many of them
told us that they buy
money,
one percent interest and in
as stated in the market and that caused them to be millionaires, prison,
ashley round many zero zero, none of them very well
and they were trying to get a commission off of a year
midshipman. Getting.
The borrow money at the freak in credit union, to put it into his mutual fine. You need,
Run from those financial people
because I am a guy, your best interests at heart, you are
Ap young guy you're going really go. I soon we're going to be an officer correct.
Yet very rare in the navy. The marine corps him up in a flash in the marine corps down. Are you gonna fly
oh even better, while good for you man, that's amazing,
and so your your future in an aircraft military or non military later is bright.
Income is bright. Everything is there dumb
saddle yourself with these kinds of pride
bombs all in an effort to accelerate your wealth building process, because there's no
It points to back it up now accepts the crime
man, I just I appreciate who you are, and I really don't want you to do this. I hope you hear me loud and clear: I'm not not just being a smart aleck with you
I am being smart aleck what the morons around you, though gosh
You're running owner who sell em on the benefit of thirty two
thousand dollars in debt is not looking out for him. So let me let make just kind walk the sir george for second, it's important
because it sounds like we don't know how to do math to people like those people that are advising
so for you morons out there that our teacher
in some young guy stuff, like this, here's, where you're wrong, ok, ethics.
Two thousand dollars and he can borrow money at one percent or so, if he invested in
your phones, any made ten or twelve percent does not make the spread
she does make the spread, however,
you need to understand is that your formula
you have used, is a
naive and incomplete, be short sighted makes.
Naive and incomplete means. You have not factored in risk.
Michel you how I know you have not factored in risk, it
bother anyone that this young guys gonna borrow thirty two thousand at one percent. So, let's just
some excellent. If third,
two thousand at one percent makes him profit if he could do three point, two million at one percent should now. What's the difference
It's a bigger number. The bigger number makes your heart measure
the risk you feel
what some of you just got tightened the chest, or your stomach raised up just a little bit, even when I suggested that the young man be three point: two million dollars in debt. But if the math works
thirty, two thousand. Why wouldn't the math work at three point? Two, because it through
Why do you finally physically felt in your chest the risk? But you didn't
before so you thought you were some kind of ba with your math
You left out risk you left
out risk.
Sk is math and you
Have to insert risk in the process
In other words, you get your freakin had taken off and so
just because the risk feels small doesn't mean it's not there and doesn't mean. Is that each of your ear, your formula, one percent versus tenaya,
percent spread is incomplete because you left out risk.
number two it's nice
eve, because you didn't take into consideration the fact that you have a young man getting into the cockpit of a fighter jet.
some of the most sophisticated equipment on the planet. Where
you can kill someone over the horizon,
and never see them or be killed
by someone over the horizon and never see them
It is a bizarre set of technology in the world
best in humankind, history
and you have a young guy in his early twenties, getting ready climb into the cockpit. Oh and let's go
what in the back of his mind that he has thirty two thousand were the debt and act like that doesn't matter. Of course, it matters than

battle readiness because their preoccupied with crap.
in the back of their mind, because some moron financial advisor suggest
there was a spread between more than ten years
more to this stuff folks than meets the eye? That's my point and you
you have to wonder how much payments beget payments where he goes
Well, I've only got discharge, two thousand. Why not go get a car alone,
and why not go get payments over here and payments over here and run up a credit card and it

that that ira account. Ok
Look I even though no money is going into it correct, but
and it is sitting there in good mutual funds. Correct yesterday.
Good mutual funds. I would just leave it alone. You ve got more control
I've been there. I know we never recommend you move.
Old ira money into new or old, four o one k money and a new for a one gauge instead put it out in an individual retirement account.
in fact, the same mutual funds have you want or better ones, and you ve got
better accession, better control,

So I'm game
three weeks. Congratulations
Thank you very much might be on fire.
Had been living either for the last year, we reach
I did on budgets- believes we try to find ways to twenty different web like nothing seems to quite work, we kind of and others
It's too zero, you daddy

So she got about twenty thousand dunes and can go
do not end
well technically, there's two things that cause people to not be able to stick to a budget. One is I that are using a wrong technique, which we can help. You with two is
there not really committed to the idea.
in our view, write it down on paper and I have no intention of actually doing what you wrote down, then guess what
you're not gonna, do what you wrote down
and since combining you know can be combined like a bank, I just feel like we'd have less control and it's I guess it's harder to
cater to then have,
and it is still alive-
quarter year than it used to be. This is extra confusing,
I've got multiple incomes coming any should only have more their verses last night,
We recommend a zero based budget and not enough. You ve, checked out every dollar done. So again, that's our budgeting tool and I will give
that you guys as a wedding present. I, including ramsey plus you'll, have access to all the videos inside of financial peace, but once you start your every dollar budget, it's super easy. We want to list out all of your income
and then we're gonna lose out all of your expenses and when you civil rights to that particular month when he said
crack the expenses from the income. It should equals zero, meaning you of assigned every single dollar a job
We don't want any your dollars unemployed and once you do that and then, by the way you have to stick to it and actually track it and go how much money do we have for food one,
a grocery shopping. Then we're gonna stay.
that budget and that's how you gonna get that control, but I can write down a workout plan. Every
dave and if I never worked out on ever given shape so so
yet you assign every dollar emission every dollar a name. That's what we call the up. Every dollar bow
of you. Look at that
before the month begins its unique to each month does every month different. Ok,.
once you ve, signed every dollar, both of you look at it. Both of you make changes until every dollar has a name, no
draft slush money lying around every door?
is assigned all the income you have coming in net that month to work.
is assigned to something? Then it's?
it's a sign to something both of you agree with the assignments you agree with the mission and then

spend more than this on close this month. I don't care,
If the person on sale, we

That's what you're saying each other your contracting. Yet
make it a very serious, relational commitment. That's why both of you need a vote
formation of the thing
because otherwise, your boss, in her around her she's bosnia around, comes a weapon, but instead
two azure couple saying out
goals are acts and the best way to achieve our goals. Is this list of expenditures this month and we're not gonna? Do something other than that
Unless something really nasty bad happens, and then we have to come back together and together.
Decide on how we are going to change our budget before we do it.
You know come home from target, you don't come
from the grocery store. You don't come home from her
be hour, go well honey, liquid idea, that's not cute! That's childish!.
and that's the thing oriented, but you committing to sticking to the plant, but light
out the technique that the technique is. Every dollar has an assignment of georgia. That's called a zero based budget. The two,
you coming together and.
Agreeing the dishes. What we're gonna do that's the technique. Now, too,
Equally, we always say joy,
If you're new to this stuff, we always tell folks, typically a married couple. One of you is more of a nerd that is into the

hundred more first started? That would be normal, that the nerd calls and asked this question:
okay, how do we do a budget for experience? Don't ask this questions at target right now, yeah she adds we figured it out. Yeah yeah she's, getting her nails done right now. So, but you know in my house, I'm the nerd, my wife's, the free spirit and so the same,
your house Joel. So what we had that it was. This nerds need free spirits in their life, so they have a life. Free
need nerds in their lives, so they don't return after eight alpo south

Today's question comes from Claudia in mississippi.
she's asking under what scenario do you have to pay capital gains tax on real estate? Here's my situation. My grandfather
we claim deeded his house to me, the house.
completely paid off, he paid twice
four thousand for it, and twenty thirteen
now evaluated at a hundred ninety thousand, I'm wanting to sell and hopes to buy new property. I've
with them, since twenty twenty and I took ownership in twenty twenty one
under the scenario, would I be liable for capital gains nope,
because it's been your name for more than two years- has been your personal residence for more than two years, a single person can make a profit of up
a capital getting up to intervene. Two thousand dollars so levy to an answer
four thousand in your case cautious basis, was twenty four thousand a profit.
Tuna. Fifty thousand was zero income tax on your personal residence. However, this was stupid. You almost stepped in it. You accidently are ok,
not because you had if the numbers were different, the house value is much higher. This could have been a different scenario, so never deed property. To someone prior to your death, like grandpa, did
here's. Why? Let's pretend that she didn't accidentally
all under this personal residence exemption for two thousand ours which saved her bacon? Okay. So
Let's say that she didn't live in the property.
that would do away with a personal residents. Bet get it ok. So now it's ramp, olives, their background.
I want to make sure granddaughter, get
and he doesn't want deal with wills and stuff cause. He he knows how those lawyers are right.
and so here you know this
the kind of crap people do ok. So then he deeds the proper
ready to her with a quick claim deed, which
a usually a one page thing in cost six to ten dollars to register the gourd acids.
very easy to do the stupid move. Now: here's what happens
can you give someone property or a kapital asset, Spock.
if I give george money, if I give him a share of home depot stock, if I give him a piece of real estate here,
basis when it
red resell. It is based on what I paid for it, and so, in this case, grandpa pay. Twenty four thousand dollars, for it are her
He says, is twenty four thousand dollars. If she had
lived in the house for two years. It would become
investment property, one huh,
Percent of everything over twenty four thousand dollars would be taxable major.
mistake hundred and fifty thousand dollars or the taxable income created here. Instead had he did it
her in his will at his death
ass. It went to her you get what's called us,
duck basis her basis, because
The vow you at the time of his death, apparently still live, but
time of his death. I say he passed in this situation. Her basis would
be twenty four thousand be hundred. Ninety thousand turns around
four hundred thousand zero capital gains. So the fact that duper
needs this thing before his death grandpa dad gummy sweet but dom. Ok,
of cost her taxes on a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more air. It didn't because she happen.
The live in the property for two years, but so dont give people stuff a let em experiment
let market value at the time of their death be their new basis as a lot higher than what you paid for it and can
troll, the ownership vehicle, not by an early deed, but with either
trust or will, or both wonders
makes sense to use a quick claimed eat. What scenarios
divorces,
Even then, though, you can get into trouble because most
worse, attorneys make a huge legal error who I'm calling you boys and girls out, because here's the thing has
wife get divorced, there's a too
and sixty thousand dollar mortgage husband doesn't get to keep the housewife's gonna, get the
because the kids are living in the house and divorce attorney say well. Just part of the settlement is you're. Gonna quit claim
half of ownership to her, and so he failed
one page quit claim as part of a divorced a great boom there. We go a guess what,
Husband still has a dollar sixty thousand dollar mortgage at messy
and his name on a house he's not a part of five years later. He gets remarried and wants to have a life and buy a house can't do it still got two hundred sixty thousand dollar mortgage in his ex wife's name own.
Operating, but still got the mortgage
no.
you're getting a divorce known acquit claimed aid reinforced
refinance or forced the soil of the house, one of the two either the wife.
the action to be acts or whoever is gonna get the house refinancing gets the
the person's name off the mortgage or we sell the house and get the name off the morgue.
Because you don't get stuck
divorce attorneys. Do this all the time to it's easy, it's easy
it is wrong.
Same thing here. This is for,
For reason, though this is when
Dual use acquit claimed aid. I just move
property from one llc to another. The other day I used to quit claimed to do
switch the ownership.
I already and I own both LLC savage.
It's a non issue right. When else would you use quit claimed aid she acquit claim did means you here usual real state theory, for you
You do not a warranty date is what usually transfers in most states house piece of property in that
if I'm transferring property, do you george, I'm
giving you a warranty on the title that the two that I have the title:
I am the owner of the title and I am
willing to warranty that and transfer that to you, then, if I didn't have, if I do
on the property- and I did that, then you would have recourse back on me, but I could give you a quick claim deed to someone else's property.
Because all it says is I quit claiming whatever ownership I have and if
have no ownership. I could claiming it while and I gave it gave you'd nothing when I quit claiming it
could give. I could give you a good claimed aimed to change this house, I'm in
would tat window you negotiate, I'm gonna. Do I'm gonna quit claiming all of my ownership, which is nothing
So if you dont have pure ownership and quit claimed aid, something
of no value and I am really get into all kinds of crap there.
So sometimes yo use it to do some tidal clean up. If there's something more nuanced than all of that, but
I've only are heard it mostly in the context of divorce, divorce and estates.
About doing something like this or
date planning attorneys doing a damn thing without forcing refinance I'm a divorce attorneys not force,
refinance and then you get stung and you're stuck with a morgue.
On a house, you don't own anymore or the woman. You know are married to anymore something about this on a young girl. To me this is the rams. Asia. Have you
experience financial, financial university. You know how life changing it is, and there is no better way to share that hope than by leading an f p class at your church. This is the time of year when lots of people are ready to get their money right, they're looking for help, and you can be the one to step up and led them to hope. Just like fp pay, you did for you, it's easy to get started plus leading a class is totally free start, making a difference as an f p coordinator. By going to F P, you dotcom, slash, lead
George camel ramsay personality is my co host today in the lobby of ramsay solutions that debt free stage, tony and brandy or where the same guys. How are you well good? How you do it better than I deserve? Welcome so good to have you guess how much debt of your two paid off? Thirty? Four thousand?
right, along at the stake about five months good
are you and your range of income during that time? A hundred fifty while good
Well do for a living, I'm a! U p! S driver and I am a nurse. I work in outpatient surgery, cool. What kind of debt was your thirty four thousand must in atlanta,
how long
I'm sorry and sugar,
So where do you guys live or from moment?
north carolina? Oh yeah, ok, cool! So what
starts this journey five months ago. What happened,
Well, it really started like three years ago my organization offered smart dollar and I was like I'm the freeze,
great so like well,
look at. I don't know anything about financial stuff. Anyways
and then- and I was like I'll- tell tony about it and
I got into the first video where it was say, unlike sell all your stuff and gazelle intensity, and I was like that's not gonna work for me, but I'll, tell tony anyways and will see
like have you ever heard about this guy? He was like oh yeah, no dave rooms a year and I was like well I mean he has allowed a point but arm it sounds like it's more
the destitute, which we are not
but we went ahead and listed all of our debts out and we paid off all right good bit, so I think altogether we've paid about seventy.
one thousand dollars off in the last three years, but then five
to go. He
He's the one that really got intense about it
yeah? No I mean I just felt like we were making that type of money and just kind of never
never getting ahead, you'd you'd have money and then something would come up and and it was gone and I and I think the biggest thing
as we hadn't, combined our finances and
once we combined our finances is just a complete game. Changer, you know we were on the same
age and we started started making
together and instead of usa
four grand and then spend three we just we just went through
this whole process and thirty four thousand dollars in five months was incredible
What the hell are you been married nine years,
in a nine years. You just combined finances when you started this journey five months ago. Yes, wow. We had to step
chicken accounts to separate savings account and one joint checking account we put all of our bills in and then
based on our income, tony put in a bigger percentage, the main cause he makes more than me, and then we all just kind of why just like spend all my money cause. I don't ever say
anything hardly until now and he said,
that also, if something came up and he would have to pay for it, he would be reason
because he's like I've saved up all this money and then I would be like you also make more money. So was always of
back and forth and
since we can ever now we have a girl ia,
We have an income nea and now we have savings and we do spending the up
Ok, so I certainly have a theory about this, but I'm curious: why do you think the combined
The accounts cause such an income
and efficiency and
where the resentment your ship. Well, I mean, I think, that it just put you on the same page
So instead of working in different directions, you're working in one solid direction, I think just everything just seems to to fit
that way when you're doing things separately. You're. You know I'm buying.
somethin she's by something in you? You know you never know what one sides do and in the other side's do, and so,
just never. On the same page. That way
but also a mean. I think it just help your marriage and helps you become stronger grouping instead of just two individuals running through life.
so brandy, you were, would have been the one most resistant to that cause. You could kind of hat you had it made. I mean you spent your ultra, so I mean what why give that up right, I mean so what would you say? The benefits are now that you guys combined them from your perspective.
Lol. I think it was. It was now both of ours, both of armor,
he said I wasn't feeling like. I was getting like nickel ice, it due east, a joke
I would say man, you've been nickel and dime and me since we were dating like we always split it, it was fifty fit the one hundred percent. Fifty fifty the whole time Adam
I count on his account
damn so then it wasn't like we weren't, like oh, I paid for this. You know you owe me this. They was just like. Ok will we gotta pay for this, and this is what we're doing
