On january joint, here by my good friend, jade warsaw, we're taking your calls on money like your marriage. What's going on your workplace, whatever you gotta go on your life, we got you aaa eight to five five, two to five, its triple eight, eight to five, five, two to five: it's got to
egg in philadelphia where he was born and raised in the playgrounds where he spent most of his days. What's here, what's up? How we do us either that, however you aunt John I'm I'm sitting in four dave today, but I'm doing great. How are you doing here? John? want to let you know, I'm a big your shower. I, like your show, and I following your advice long, story. Short. I dont want to get in the way. The whole scenario we need to do that and I'll need to sit with an adviser, but I'm low income and I'd filed for bankruptcy. three years ago launched. I note your against that, but it was the best thing that could happen to me, because I learned and yet still less than I as a result of being low comes, do not want to own a car. I do not want to lease the car that it's completely off the table and I received professional advice. Against doing that, and I'm fully agree with that
I also agree with papers advice about not bothering will credit cards as that off the table. What I wanted vice to do like to rent a car from enterprise when you need it because mind shore in my other advisers, told me you want to be the type of person it you want to use the car, but when the he's going you handed over inside your problem. Now you want to take the image way throughout sing. I normally advised against that, but in your case and for it however, as you know, for the consumers, in the places it contradicts state's advice. You need a credit card to rent from them and I don't want a credit card. Is there any tactical way of advice may get around it because I'm bankrupt, and it would cost me more for a credit card, obviously to get the bank or card that I don't want to begin with. Then it would be worth it's more feasible to rent a car. What do I do because it contradicts clear limit limited this sir.
you ve been through Helen back. Haven't you? Yes, story short, so I want to tell you, is just a guy friend friend now, I'm god, your back and you ve been through it and you ve got more it vice, and people john at you and people common after you, it's been a rough season and aren't you non grateful for your call, am grateful for these boundaries. putting in place in your life It's going to come as grateful that you've been able to take my call because I haven't been able to get to the show, and today I just decided randomly I'll, try it. Luckily, I got through I'm more grateful that you took the call Well, that's that's all some. So this there's there long story short. I travel all over the country, I'm gone probably a week in a half, sometimes two weeks a month, a ring
where's all over the nation, and I don't have a credit card. I use my debit card Oh, I have become about that, but on what you continued? Ok I do have on the on the deck for that I travel with a do have space, and so I am fortunate that if they put a three hurl or hold or whatever that's oak, I'm ok with them I know not everybody's. In that situation. Ok, I want to go back before and above and I've also run into trouble, I've I've just I was just telling jade affair we're talking this, and I said I what time was sitting at a a decoy a rental counter in Dallas texas and I looked at the person working and I said: can you please He's figure out a way that I can give you my money. I've tried, to pay you and she would I it was? It was such a mess. I end up having to leave and I had got another counter they
my money right away in a car within two minutes and we're out the door that said I really want to challenge the wisdom and again you got me bore, with you and you, ve unite, have known each other for ninety seconds now right I want to challenge the wisdom that you are taking a very expensive way to get yourself around. Yes, I don't do it occasionally that's the thing and when I want to go expensive, I liked to go luxury, because it's only occasional erica still walking through the bankruptcy or is it complete? I wasn't chapter seven spinal eyes to chapter seven. Its final, like good diet, it's gone and proud of it. I wouldn't want to do it any other way. Ok is basically an cash only an So where are you now with your income just blowing commented in housing, tight situation, ok, how much or if
You don't feel comfortable, saying it. That's fine, but I'd like to be to help you as accurately as possible What do you need to know? I we need to know what you're earning a month, because I want to find out your dad. He's gone! You know everything liquidated. I want to know what your left with and kind of what europe going forward is because I agree with John renting cars is not sustainable europe. Spend more on the long haul? You can get a cash car at some point not today, but we want to get. You want a plan, it's going to be sustainable and you keep referring to yourself as low income as though it's an identity- and I disagree with that's, not who you are brother, that's where you find yourself right now, but that's not who you are: okay, yeah! Basically I get eight hundred a month and my portion of bread is three hundred and then how transport chain, and basically the rest- money is goes on whatever
new necessary food price freeze, train my transit card things like that. It's basically gone by the time it makes there after the bells. you on disability. Are you on We'll get work permits long story. But yes, I don't want to get into that situation on the air. If you want to speak with me about it on a more or connected with an adviser I can get into that portion. But yes, We definitely want to do that. We definitely want to get you connected with somebody that you can help me financially and I'm gonna have austin I up afterwards, because there's a lot more to this. Down- and I agree, but I just you know it's time constraints for the shall not only right to the point with a go on: oh no! No! No! No! No! No! I mean than that. This is the fact with with John said: you're gonna run into an issue with that, because when you do use a debit card there saying hey, I will do this, but we did your liability s so there, the charge a lot more on your card, they're gonna, put holds on their. If you're going from supply, sometimes or even say, like you, gotta show us your ticket if you're fired,
somewhere. You take it hearing your ticket returning like they, they do put. They make it hard for people who honestly doesn't want to pay cash for things they do and so in your situation where your income is so limited, I dont believe it This is the best possible thing for you. Long term, but in the short term, do you know that you are going to run into those problems? And I know you mentioned you d like to do luxury when you do do it. If it is not a season for luxury right now, I hopefully get that sentiment and feeling this not the seas in your own right. Now,
and here's the thing Jay. This is the choice I made kind of like what, if I've got a diet restriction, I'm always doing these weird diets, and I go to your you and SAM's house for dinner. I'm not going to impose that on you guys. I get to make choices about what I mean, because it's that's on me yeah. So when I go to a rental car counter, I'm not mad at them they're making my life hard, but I chose this. This no credit life. That's right! So be it man, I'm not going to lose sleep because y'all don't want my business right. I know that's a good point. Alright, this is the radio show we'll be right back triple eight, eight to five five to two five, the identity
ran somewhere data breaches fishing scams, the cyber world has gone crazy and you have to be protected. That's why the only plan I use and recommend is through zander insurance. They combine smart cyber protection and prevention services to reduce your risk and have a dedicated team of experts to take over the work. If you do become a victim go to, dot com or call eight hundred three five six forty to eighty two, hey. What's up america if you're a new listener and you wanted to dive deeper into the ramsay baby, steps could arrange solutions, dot, com and click on the get started button everyone We call on asking us: where are we aren't? I don't know it's. that by me. We got you, we got you well, you figure out.
The best next step for your financial journey, based on exactly where you are today, could arrange solutions, dot, com and click on get started. Aright We get question of the day. Today's question comes from russia, joel in utah com. My question is: how can I combined finances as a newly married couple? It's his second marriage when your spouse has no budgeting discipline and has no limits to giving his children money. Frivolously have good credit. and we discuss these things before marriage. I feel trapped Jonathan stop beneath the surface area. This question: you should not a question your discuss these things before marriage, my guy flip, Script, you never made any decisions before marriage and you didn't come up with any plans before marriage and you didn't have any ideas you prob. probably had a conversation over lunch like hey budgeting is a big deal and yeah sure that's cool and you'll never made one.
I never sat down and said hey what do we want our marriage to look like in ten years, and what do we start off to do where we have to start doing right now, so that we can be there ten years? Yeah? Well, there's also the side to it. Where he's giving his children, he frivolously ends. I want to know more about that because that's from his previous marriage, maybe there's something there where he's like this is all I can do to lake, and maybe maybe this is somebody- that's never had kids in this money isn't frivolous at all. This is what it costs for a kids. So who knows rachel all questions you should ask before you got married and you should have been super clear and here's the deal. You have married somebody with kids, great awesome that me You have made a choice. You chose. Be in some sort of relationship with his ex wife forever forever you have chosen to participate in the raising of two kids that are not biologically ort forever? Those are just choices you made and so
don't go to war with those. You also chose to marry somebody who's super immature with money. You knew this before you said I do you did So what you can do moving forward is one of two things I would with number one which is to sit down and say we are few months in were a year into this new marriage aims, death and I can't breathe. I can't breathe because I don't know how much money we have onwards going. I want home some day with you on a build, a life I want to be able to share in adventure that we both signed up for- If the way money is leaking out our back door, it scares me to death and I can't move. Can you help me? Please? I don't feel safe. That's number one that by the way, that's a That's making the entire issue, not his fault, not he's gotten discipline, and he just it's about you and what your feeling and your body is trying to get your attention for right. That's number one number, two!
If he looks at you and says, listen, honey. I'm never gonna give my kids money ever wherever I am budget, budgeting is stupid. Then I, classify that I I think we often when it comes to marital fidelity. We often get laser focused in on sex, and I think fidelity is a much bigger picture about how you treat the person you're married to and so and this is somebody who is choosing to not be in relationship with you and at some point you become unsafe and you're going to have to either create an account. That is yours that you can begin to plan a budget for your take yourself too. housing or you gonna start deciding. Is this marriage safe overall, because usually jade in situations like this? There is something else going. It sounds like there is honestly, when I
look at it. Might you know I try to see that the best and things John out of the door, you don't you went to the dark side quite by our pull it back for us who were kind of like it's, not that bad, I kind of feel like there might have just been, difference in vocabulary. like the words, what what words mean, what does frivolous mean? What does budgeting mean you what I mean, and I think that sometimes you have those conversations early on any kind of just don't know, don't know is like a bug I grew up without yacht guy budget and then it's like, but Dave, ramsey budgeting is different from you know what I mean the the budgeting. Some of us grew up with, so I think there could be just the lines are crossed only, she knows really what's going on, but I think when you have those conversations and you approach it from instead of approach, from a mad at you, I'm angry with you but kind of from. Like I'm scared, I think that if you're a good guy
in your woman is telling you she scared. If it doesn't disarm, you like she should go. go to count lily! Go there, you go there, ok, get John you're throwing bomb your great great respect. There's this! It's an old counting adage that we speak in pictures we think in words, man, often it wife and I, like hey, I'm gonna, be home late for dinner tonight, you're right late, for me. I know my calendar. I know that my last meeting in media hit is eight o clock exactly late, for her is fifteen yet ripe yet, and so she had a picture of what lay was adequate. Well, it was and we both used or late, but we missed each other incite, maybe it it may be because you're, better For me, it is a matter of When we said you're gonna give money, your kids, I didn't realize a thousand dollars. I thought it was fifty and I think that who knows I'm looking at
words newly married and that's kind of where my my bringing ring is gone off, cause that first year you don't you I know what you're doing dude I'm twenty years, I'm still okay, I had this thought the other day. Do we have time for this? I had this thought the other day. I was like okay, a kid when we raise our kids they're in our home until they're, eighteen years old and we're just teaching them how to be in the world right. They don't know anything and then after that, then you get married and you think that somehow, in one year in a couple months, you're going to be good to go, and it's like it too eighteen years to just learn how to exist society without being a total jerk, and now we to be married, combined with a whole other person and we think we're just gonna just scheme through it and like one two years and then like be prose at it, was absolutely highly win. If our kids got married, your kids would have grown up in in the war. Your house, two wonderful parents, how my kids would have
grown up in the dorney house, one wonderful parents and they would have had very different understandings of how the world works and what relationships look like yes, and so they've got to figure out how not to recreate what they saw. Mom and dad do go to bed, but to create something new and magical for them. Yes, and that just takes time it takes time. So I'm looking at this from rachel and I'm thinking Kay your newly married end there there's more dynamics to this than it did not want to see typical, there's more dynamics to this. Some people get married and it's just you and me for the first time ever, never live together, and then some people get married. It's like oh and bring in three kids into the resist. His second day, dance or so of this is this. Is this is a Here hopefully, rachel out of all of the hundreds of millions of things that we just said, your pull something out that is helpful to you, but give yourself a little bit is counselling, John I love me. Some counselling christian council will enable counselling. Put me on that
That's I wouldn't be sitting here for wasn't earlier today. After talk with my wife, I said I'll call my counselor and she goes and I do that so yeah that was the ours today. I love it. I love it. That's so so good. What is so let's rate. Let's say Rachel husband, sits down, says I'm in let's do this, but think about. Where do they start? You know the thing She says: let's do this budgeting thing. I think that's a great place. Are you find your budget find something? That's good! You know here we go like to identify the personality types like is, she has spent? or is he a saver, because if you can kind of identify that early on you're kind of going to know those points of contention ahead of time, and so them working that budget together is going to tell each other a lot about each other, so it's like if they yeah. Maybe he says alright, let's see this budget and they sit down and she immediately sees that he's like his eyes, are like glazed over tuning out. She can probably hey he's, not a nerd he's, not he's he's a free,
spirit. He might be more. a spending type and if she's like my gosh. I love these numbers. I just love filling in the line, items and she's, probably more of a nerd be a safer or a spender, but doing that, budget together tells you so much about each other and you both at each other in their needs. Somebody who's got
to balance them who's a saver. You know the free spirit meet somebody who's more of a nerd to keep them balance. So it's a balancing act, it's a dance, but getting that budget together and of course you know, John I'm talking about the baby steps all day work. Those baby steps. Are you alright, we'll be right back dribble and eight to five five to five on the ranch, the

It's it's.
Its security fur my side of my wife, and I am therefore I mean minutes wondering if I should sell it can kind use the money to do other things like that. started their business or though something outside property I know a very secure about the same time. I just I don't feel like I would say that I want, or she wants to hear in new mexico and I just can't trying to figure out if we could sell this, but when you say security, is this? secure, like you, ve got your own home or, as you have another house somewhere in this, is just a project now. This is my primary residents, and is it pay the earth? It is ok, what's it worth. you know I gotta for thirty, and I can probably sell for about one fifty Do you wanna leave new mexico? I think
So between water security over the next fifty years them you know trying to find not opportunity. I just I think, it's time, I'm sure my parents, if the parents don't feel the same way by I'm. cause. You guys have cancer one kid: how old are you ma'am? I'm twenty, eight, twenty, eight, so J t theirs jade will walk you through the math part of this. But let me in a lot of ways I feel like I'm talking to myself tuna fifty years ten fifteen years ago, created quite an anxious life for myself and for my family. financially as work way too much too much wanted a life that look like acts and why and z, and every time I got close to it, then move to the finish line. Moved on me right
then I started looking at. I was in west taxes, so right down the road from you and Oslo, what about this, and if this happens and then in twenty five years, this might happen in the oglala is gonna go draw us. I started creating these catastrophes and happened in short order, as my body started reacting you, those catastrophes as though they were happening right now. Even though they were all could be, might be, maybe he's even probably of the next. fifty or one hundred years- What happened to my home at least and while to say this in the home of thousands of other people, have worked with the last glass decade. is people around me started feeling electric, because I was hard to be around because, as always rejecting the next bad thing. The next thing. What about this? What about this and then I'm working and I'm trying to earn my word any just created a mass very hard to be married to knock Zaza, bad guys,

In that same, I gotta work work, work that all coming down that guy's going with you ma am And it wasn't until I completely unhooked from all the nonsense and when got myself some help and when got myself around some people that a new love me some other men in my that were my friends that I could just go.

It just and like you were, clear on what the path forward was, and so I, want to run from something if I'm run, and I want to know exactly what I'm running to, and I want to have a very clear plan that spot out that is not based on fear. That's not! based on a series of ah what, if do you know, I'm saying I want to make sure that it's something that is worthwhile yeah and that's just I know John- is hitting the mental health side of it. That I mean that the financial side of it is what's the plan.
we're not gonna just go. Oh, let's all our house, it would be cool if we could start some kind of a business. Does that make sense. and maybe there's more legs to it- that you didn't explaining around the air but a kind of haphazard.
