Twenty thousand dollar version of that truck will last him for a long long time, As george mentioned you guys, don't make enough money to justify having an eighty thousand dollar depreciating asset in your driveway, I do. Actually Monica has been convinced. Well, it here the way to do it. This is not only a math problem might be. It could be This is a. I'm scared that we will have an emergency fund and you have, in eighty. Do, though you do ok, this is we do I. Being a home, I wanna start thinking now about what our life is. Gonna, like in five years in ten years and in full,
in ten years, you're going to have a forty thousand dollar truck sitting in the same spot in the driveway and we're still not going to have a down payment on a house. I'd love to see you sell at eighty thousand. Our truck while people still are still paying crazy amounts of money for use trucks and go by I go nice. Thirty thousand our truck.

What's left on your mortgage here? what's left on the mortgage, thou to what would we gotta get? One august is like to twenty. I think, ok Hey I put in years, forget fifteen years. You guys, you guys have a life to live. I dont want to be in debt for fifteen years to you So let's have a goal of five or seven ten the most and what what fifty k gonna do that goal. It's gonna speed up that process by a lot
that's not what you think of it. This way this has been a hank grew up and we did have a lot grown up and money was. It was a hard conversation and I didn't know a lot of people with a lot of money for a lot of my life, and one of the ways. What, when I now sit by Dave every week I get to sit by people who think about wealth differently. And one of the things they have taught me is to stop thinking about money. in ways a b and c or d. How can I get this thing? How can I see this? How can I can make the shiny thing even shinier in here a unique take on money? How can I hours of my life: How can I buy back time, and so If you just look at your hundred and five thousand dollar household income, the yom make- and you think, how long would it take us to put to pay down. Fifty thousand dollars of our mortgage that
We want, or two or three years of your life and weakened by three years of our life two years of our life. If we discuss sell this big dumptruck in changing the way.

You don't mean it just become such a waste, such awake you so much for taking my call, and this will help because I'm talking it out with my wife Becky knows about it, but the whole idea of selling it. And if I say I have to talk to Dave ramsey's battle cause! That's what I'm trying to think of that way, but thank you for telling me talk to dave that that'll help the converse not john and george tonight, man when it's to our benefit. We say that we're dave, often
do you, like godlike beg you ve, got your ankle I gotta care in Washington DC. It was up here. hi. I was higher screw that I doubt it in my heart. I'm sorry it's ok, I'm sorry. what do you do? I recently graduated from college, with a degree of economic uncurling working in the fund industry, making sixty five key annually, now many putting six percent income, each Bora one carry for a match or fire going back to ban, David around twenty seven hundred dollars a month until december when bowed I'll, be always in around sixteen hundred a month, now not quite sure what you do this money. I am bathing. I have about sixty thousand already paid than I you baby, the count and seven thousand in and in vacuum, well you don't have much
by should increase my four one k or just keep me How did you get so smart? I'm just wondering for on behalf of you all twenty two year olds where did this come from? I didn't have the best like financial situation as a kid. money you- and I was like big sr. O was the main thing that I focused on and I started working at. Sixteen I've been faith in africa are incredible. We jump into the shorts that dont lose that ok here that such a gift, because says to me that you look in the mirror at some point. You said the stops with me and you I had the I had the opportunity to Go to college to watch my mom and dad had bitterly blaze a trail
I got to learn hard lessons, but people were had already blaze. Those trails ahead of me and you had to go off in the woods by herself and cut your own trails and so you're an amazing young woman, and please don't lose that. Ok, then came the world needs more of you. Ok go ahead. George, so and I'm assuming you have such a great head on your shoulders. Do you not have any debt, I know I don't love and you have an emergency fund as well on top of the sixteen carriers that included now that including the emergency fund? Ok, so would you all three to six months of expenses about fifteen k: yeah, ok! so there's really not a ton of whether room on top your savings, you basically gone through baby sab three an hour, investing fifteen per cent of our income into retirement, and so I would ask that six percent to start can you at fifteen percent? Here I can ok and is that a foreign k? What's the retirement situation
if you are a one k and then I have about two grand in a roth ira from years ago. Awesome is it: do they have a roth four o one k option they do yes, well, you can go ahead, invest all fifteen percent into their raw for one gay and make it really simple. ok and then any money beyond that we can start saving up for goals right now, you're to saving to save. I want you to have something your naming towards, so you can be a little more excited about it. So do you want to be a homeowner one day nor area, yet oak So that be my ex goal, how can we start to save up ten, even twenty percent down on a home in my area and start doing the math crunch and the numbers and figure how we gonna get there Maybe your next go. You gotta get vehicle that safe, reliable. Driving my two thousand and nine yards for quite some time? He got the bus. Well, you may want to save up. You know to replace that car in the next
Few years as well, so you can have different goals, your saving towards and put it in ratios and sam same fifteen percent to retirement I'm gonna put, five hundred bucks a month into a savings account over here to upgrade the car and another thousand a month. Tour towards the downpayment savings so that three years from now, I'm going to have thirty, six thousand for a down payment, and so I started setting those goals in every area gear. How old are you? What are you? Ok common challenge for twenty year old tour as driven and out of outside the box as your is the tendency to even fighting for a long time. In doing things on your own for a long time, and now you ve- What unquote made it to this big goal, you got a college, you got your job, your debt free, and now you are having to do something you ve never had to do before, which is to settle in ok. Your next journey is, not how to survive not How to
when, with money you're doing that you are going to be yours, so far had the came, its unbelief, what you will be a multi multimillionaire be able to give and live like very few people. You know your challenge over the next two to three to four or five years is how can I become comfortable in case skin how can I just settle in and do really really good work and then have really great relationships outside of work. How can I laugh? How can I go hang out Friends is europe's, and this is gonna, be your new annual said, because you are really really good at drive and drive and drive and drive and what were I do like george said we have a goal. Financially one had a house one get car. We wanted to have a to some arbitrary million dollar number in the bank account whatever we also one have a life worth living. We have people worth laughing with and weeping. we want to have people that can shop at two a m. We want to have neighbours that we can count on when the power goes out and the power will always go out right.
So we want to have these financial goals. We have proof, snuggles, and we now want to begin to build a life worth living, and this is just your new adventure up for it: Yeah tell them to go on vacation, that's awesome, vacation, so good!

p m Monday october, seventeenth, central time to nan, go rsvp honor you to channel, and I will be watching with the america very cool art. Let's go to judd in sin, tell yo taxes, the most san antonio name. I could think of what, judge you guys. Are you doing make good what's up eight, so we can the kind of any likely from California and we are working on baby, that's too, and one of the biggest that we have in debt are our vehicles, one of on I'm upside down a couple grand the other one, I'm actually work. the positive equity right now, because of the way the market is right now, Michael is we have? two kids and we, my wife and I both work. So we still technically need to cars.
it'd be ok. I got rid of the more expensive vehicle which would have the negative equity on it and actually get it. My personal loan to cover that negative equity were the amount of debt that I house or we have, that is an option. Its my favorite option, but it is an option. The best option is for you to find the money and cover the difference in cash, but it is the only time we would tell you it's ok to go into debt is to fix this upside down car situation by getting a personal loan from credit union to cover the difference, and then we aggressively pay down that smaller alone that we now have so how far upside down are you I haven't gotten you exact number from the dealership. By going to the light, illegal book or the other sites. I would be anywhere from the cunning on water. We give me for the guard anywhere from too Six thousand dollars, ok, Parana facebook a today to try to cover the gap
If it's that close from a dealer, I think you can make up a, I think you can sell it. Look at you come off even stephen. If you tell the person you're selling the car, to I'm gesture pay this note off so this is like I am walking away here, we're high five and I'm going walkway, zero and you're going to get a good deal on a car and you're going to sell that car this weekend Look at how much money do you guys have in the bank right now at that, it's never a good chance that that start a funny question where world war two baby steps right now, so we're still trying to figure out her, but I do like I said we just moved out here our income, how you you, you just moved from California to texas, it's weird keeping all of your paycheck like this right. You have all this money, but if you your checking account right now between checking and savings what's in there, but about this unit. Ok, ok, that helps me, sir.
The question is: how quickly can we get another five hundred another thousand dollars in the door so that we don't have to take out a loan? Even if there is a gap? Ideally you can just sell it and you clear it but if there is a gap, you should be able to cover that in cash pretty quickly. so started a side hustle you name it. Ok, I also what's your debit card. Number. George. Oh sweet. Let me make sure to give out to honour my frank you can do this his jolly. Can you ve already made one good decision moving and so now next decision don't go into further? Don't go for them to die, still might consider selling the other car. If you can make profit on it and then just buying to cheaper cars, because you're still gonna need a car at the end of this year. So what are the proud of it? You could make on another car. ah what about when I would need to cover the other now. Ok, so you're saying few grand they could be or by thousands. Ok, because it so both you and have zero cars, and so we have to think about ok, how
we scraped together enough money to that will if we sell both of these, we can buy to cheaper beater cars for now in our final. I do too a very small rob IRA, which about what five hundred dollars into it, would you recommend pulling from that? After all valid? Never ever desperate man don't do it if you have non retirement funds like if they were just in a taxable brokerage account or some single stocks. I would tell you to cash those out, but retirement and you're going to face so many fees and penalties and taxes. It is not worth it You can do this man, it's gonna, take a low but a work and sacrifice. But you know Sometimes we need to be humbled by driving the beater car for awhile and gone yep. That's this is me acting my wage. For now I have been humbled for many many many many years. Hey everytime, you hear someone do their debt free scream on the show? It's because at some point they said I've had it. I'm not living like this anymore,
you get mad like that and they in then you do what they did. Your life will change to and right now inflation and stupid credit cards and stew loans in your car note killing you you ve been led to believe that you're, not in control of your money and that that is wrong.
