From the headquarters of Ramsay solution. Casting our normal studios gets into the Ramsay Show work that is done in the pay of mortgage, taking the place of the Bmw status symbol of choice. They ran through your hosts Doktor John, the lonely. Ramsay personality is my colleague over today here on their open phones AAA eight to five five, two to five. That's AAA eight, Five: five, two to five starting as our off is gonna- be Lance and Amarillo high land shower you.
I'm don't allow Dave Ferrie guys better than I deserve. How can help there? You hate and I'm really, are you guys were, I guess, adults of wisdom. Here am I I'm pretty sure, I'm in a position that I could retire, but I dont know if it's a wise for me to ok, in what ways and unwise you diamond monnier you. What, I've got a network of about. We ought to look at a group, well done Did you inherit that or what the bear of our farmland idea that hundred probably of that letter rest! I would suggest there is paying attention. well done him, who had already paid a lot of attention gets up so, as I know some young guys with that kind of money, you ve, if similar
tired, what's the hesitant Senor hard here without my my wife, health is marginal. She had some gastrointestinal. I use, and so I'm I'm meeting at whatever getting warm I'm a lady, Augusta, hesitant there are high and lick state sixty two Show me a long way away from Medicare and those kind of things have investigated is buying something like a blue cross bushel policy through one of our young people. and I mean it clearly. you know I gotta know much about that of coverage that supplies. I guess. I don't know much about what the coverage yeah. You would want to know that
So I guess I would sit down more than endorse local provider on health insurance and learn the Ridges, but have you By health insurance that will cover her issues why would you not richer? You know, I don't know it's just I probably would I probably lands what your trade, what would you do out there near Marilla Nike Director whereat insurance cover? Ok, show you probably could do a lot aside. Gigs at your schedule. However, you want to do and work time has a lot about two things: you probably the skills to do that and a little bit a contract work here or there. If you just launched a pigeon, keep your skill, sharp accounting for the fun of it. ambassador insurance, but in all regain
lot of freedom, a lot of independence by going ahead and retiring if you will, to do that. You ve got the money and, if you ve got to help him ass? If yeah work work I carry you have to retire, but you don't have work either right? Well, you know, I don't know the job is getting up and data for nearly forty year than me. I'm getting get no more. I suspect you could probably do a lot of the same kinds of things on yours. agile and less hours, make pretty good money and it wouldn't be as burn out for you, but the whole situation is what great John you immoral. Now, let's that's exactly right. It's it's! The Those were higher than all the other stuff goes with the culprit: white enamel well, I don't ever recommend I dont say ever, but I do not plan to quit. Working completely
because you have rain embody, will quit on you. I do not. I want to be doing something I will be wandering around this building spread and spreading heightened sense in one way or another, but the I do need to downsize and an offload some of the things that I'm doing over them. ten years on sixty and be good for the company I'll be here on the air, but internal stuff, I do. I don't need to have my hands in everything ongoing and you don't either by the way. So you could do something like a graduated thing, rather than a trunks thing, meaning you? U gradually, by by leaving their and picking up. five hours of contract, work that you do at your leisure you made freakin money. You just need to keep your busy and land this is ongoing, this geographic, but it's not, as is happening to people all over the country, but there is Taxes ethos that a man. Is his job and
If you quit working, Yukon acquit ceasing to exist and Just the way leave far away and you ve got your hands and that your ninety guy, which means you private on call for less forty years, there's just this sense of This is who you are and now you're. Faced with the woman, you love more than anything else in the world's got health issues annual spent time with their new word about this word, but that a dead man, good man you're good husband, you put in forty years. You ve worked hard, youth, clearly elective said. Have the money sit down? Get with somebody who knows that market out there and Amarillo and re imagined some things and get some peace in yards, but some time when your wife, like they say twenty five forty hours a week, do and worked. You want to do this exciting when you wanna do when you want to do with a highly or doubt rash oysters yards, the choices are there, but on Show- and that's not the
everything you said, except that the West Texas thing is not to say it's everywhere, yeah everywhere, it's everywhere, isn't it. You know it might be a boomer thing. More than a millennium thing, but but this idea that that other that, because Our generation accurately recognise their dignity and work of Gazeta, big demolitions, flipped it where relationships, everything and works, just not a thing, and that is not something you need to do- is urging indignity and work. We are made to work. That's right, there's an extraordinary dignity there. So there's something that does for your psyche, for who you are, I give you a sense of meaning essential purpose, assuming you're doing something this not immoral wrong or whatever, but the and it can be literally workin on the farm, So we got here, you got your big Wash Texas Ranch there, and rightly so. but but you ve got the money. The health insurance in place. Imagine some part time
Sure things do that over the next ninety days and retired That's what I would do if I were in your shoes, as I literally writers and on what that place you work with emotionally. I can hear that for sure you're here you know you ve stuck it out. You you're there not mean, but you're done whether nationals this this request for it like. Is it a character issue and not an orator is not not at all by good for you and for set yourself up like this now, for you absolutely my any may have enough Landy runs a big cattle operation or something I was with a gather down. Eight thousand acres, such close, my line Can raise some cattle and can put a couple account son had now than they can work it out and then you gotta go find em, it's gotta be bail out front running right. It's a lot allow square miles, but it's you mindset and show you
something that you put your hand to make sure your health insurance issues money. You ve done it touchdown everyday Megan! Well, that this is the Ramsay, no matter what time of year it is focusing on your family's financial plan is always a smart move.
Questions all the time about where to start and want to do first getting term life insurance needs to be a top priority. I recommend to the twelve times your income and lock in rates for fifteen or twenty years. This gives you plenty of time to get out of that and bill wealth. I've been recommending Zander Insurance for over twenty years. They understand and live the strategy and will take the time to help you find the most affordable term, life rights, gotta, Zander, dot, com or call eight hundred three, five, six, forty to eighty two. John DOE lonely rooms. Your personality is my co host debate here on the air. This is the ram to show our question that I come from blinds dot com. They have a one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee means. Even if you miss measure, you pick the wrong color. They re make your window blinds for free. You get free samples, shipping and with them promos they run every month, you're, safe, even more use, chrome
rapidly to get the best possible deal, question comes from LISA in Kentucky she right my husband and I are debt free so we live and was purchased as a gift to us from his parents. The house completely paid for. However, there's always a however gave the house is not in our name. Do not secure without the house being in our name. We have a great relationship and I trust my end loss but have an issue at this. What should I do so? My first thought here. Dave is, if Somebody buys a house for you gives it to you, but it's not in your name, not your house, that a poorly Look at that no smell like they bought a house and let me live in it. Now, but there is not a gift run children, your name very eager so is it out a line here, conversation. I think the way you always have a conversation,
That is a very, very important too. But a lot of icing on the cake before you. Talking about this in the icing, the lot of sweetness and that's gratitude, absolute, how grateful your and I would never want to seem ungrateful worn ungrateful and we are so thankful hash of worth. It does Gus uncomfortable. That is not our name, and we want to know when we're gonna get it into or no well done, and we need make sure all these assets flown certain boy. That's fine, but but bottom line is that this is where I was give my kids a house and leave it in money because it is not. There it's your hearts there, how shall I let me give an example, her father in law is workin, second shift and he fell at the wheel
and he goes crushed underline, had somebody and a is killed on the other car, the taken that has to be taken. That House attract Missus Ashe when show him for five hundred million dollars that judgment lane will be on the house. That is not heard right and that's called an axe. And right that I've ever pencils had fallen on anything wrong. I call him a drunk you and drunk driving out in calling me they sailing negative about it, but it just he could business, go bad and generously But they are wrestling all of his assets right and this house is asset, not curse so and the other of advice. I will just give you. Is you don't talk? Let your husband talk at his parents. You can see there was a smile on your face, and I are the only thing you're allowed to say how grateful your I want you to Hungary for ya you're not allowed to make the
body, language or grimaces or words that are part of this The conversation that has at its essence, conflict in because you're get labelled as the cause of it. Now you're gonna be labelled as the dissension, but in the family yeah right the evil, it would mean. Ok is machine, but his wife gotten new go so they say something along the lines of wealth. We will win not comfortable doing that now. But we will. In my head. I immediately switch to this in our house. We are living rent free, my parents cells. We now are saving up for employees and I'm off to the races their exactly I'm going I'm not sleep over it. I know that you are the free rant, Ariane, I'm gonna, use that save up and by my own house, I'm not gonna throw fit about it. I'm going to work out a moment ago by ourselves. How will you say it was a gay aft now moving on removing non british gonna? Look if you're, not put it in my name is not a gift. You gotta have a clear logic
your head, so the elephant thing This LISA is, is that you won't need heard loud and clear from John were saying you're right, absolutely, yes, you're right, you're, not crazy. This has got some weirdness on it. There's something weird here, and I dont know what it is, or maybe a simple thing that they ve they haven't had good. acts planning, but nobody show them how to do it without getting without getting a give tax bill because in art, thou see a good taxpayer that can teach them how to do, for an asset that says as a gift without having any gift action under the unified state. Give tax credit in one piece of paper with a fine. Of their catches, a sheer and unless they have an estate over twenty million dollars, will affect their state taxes a dime. So there's lots of ways to do this. I made us not know how to do it and theirs, but but if that's the only reason, but I'm
guess I say that's not reason. Some mothers feels Ikey Dave, but, as you will all end, is that out and while asking run on in an interesting that the sand and asked the question he's the guy. I want to talk to you in this day and age, because he's the one go have do the talking as if this is handled properly, Heeny still with his mama. Not his wife, databases Mama.
