from my point of view, I am she solutions, broadcasting commit all environmental studios. It's the rams. Asia, where that is down just came on mortgage, has taken the place of the Bmw, those not a symbolic Andy Rams. Your Hostaqua John Bologna Ramsay personality of the Doktor John Bologna podcasting you to show, is my pillow today, open phones AAA eight to five five, two to five, that's triple eight, eight to five five, two to five
really in Denver. Our first call this our highly how're you doing Thank you got I have been, and I are currently on babies, pet member to our annual income is about a hundred and fifteen thousand per year and we have about seventy five thousand left in debt to pay off, though, thinking that we can be completely deaf gray within the next twenty four months time and my question, Is that where do we prioritized family planning into the baby steps? If we're me an international path. This burners mainly through Sturgis, be or adoption well, there's not a baby in the baby steps of babies when you read out babies, but you throw a curve in there when you say there is a different kind of caused here ok, so you know I think and there I guess the other possible question that that similar you're not
showing that question, but the somewhere in vitro. Ah, you know when we do that and I'm I'm, I'm thirty action. I am not alone two more years and that kind of stuff I get that question over the years. A lot, that's it's in the same bucket of questions. and so I make. If you're gonna do or adoption you would do the would learn so much about these two things that you would find that there is a vast spectrum that people pay for these things far. One thousand to a hundred thousand spectrum? where's being about forty five to sixty thousand, depending on which route Again, in the United States are international, and my husband S. Thirty five, though ages, something that were definitely thinking about Thank you. Ve got more research to do. Ok, we were
with many many many families that have done adoptions for how, of your low number or less and so I think, you're getting a the Bentley pitch. Rather than the should rely page on, the adoption process show now another thing that does no, it does not cost that. My answer, I think you ve got your here's the thing when I, when I the more information I gather in the more options I have more power. I have in making a decision and I dont a given options, yet my right, I'm sure you don't cause approaches, are quoting mere ridiculous. Wow that money for our first choice between these two. Guess you spell that we could have the biological child the adoption would be secondary. How could we know we can achieve a broker, an archive You know that obviously there's a lot of ways to compensate a target.
And a lot of money rangers on that as well. So it it's a personal thing in such an intimate thing. It's very hard for, somebody on the radio like me to speak into it, and and not so the college or not shone like I don't care about it. I do care about it it it's just. You have got you do not want to get into these situations. And look back later and while that that it's so emotional, it can cloud you from treating it like a business transactions as much you sure that I wanted to be emotional. I wanted to be intimate. I wanted to matter, but I also want you to use wisdom in the process, as I make sense here now, I'm not trying to be unfeeling in other words, but but but shop anyway. I can tell you in our life me and my wife own, we were walking down some of the steps we put an end,
oh a line we wouldn't cross, because we knew that once we are It's got into this deal and once there are people around you, always single, there's another option. There's another option is another option that suddenly you wake up and you're you're so far your head or so foreigner water. It just the whole thing. What was gonna be this joyous precious moment to really really cloudy. What's the seventy five thousand under? Oh, my gosh everything We have a much of cars about one five thousand bird last July with ninety we sold while we surrender to vehicles, member paying off the death, is the thought it, but we have few cash cars now. Ok, we have to be right now so that twenty five is the deficits Brac, yes and then the rat.
This ban. That too, I have with my parents and their credit card just furniture. Much do you. Oh your penance faddy about twenty thousand You know I mean I might consider knowing that a polish point in the rest of the club so that snowball? Could you do want the cash to be freed up to build a do these other things somewhat. You work, international destiny, Bonwit you're, pushing through the majority of it, but that twenty I might ask for a moratorium on that until after the baby, and so I went out among pay anything on this because we're gonna get you a drink, it that's a good blackmail and but ya mean negotiate that were them talk to him about it in and so yeah that's a different kind. dad that you could get your own now. Payments are no interest, while you are clearly
the thing and then come back to it after baby and get it done. That will be fine The question is not really wonder: babies, you questions were to stick a sixty thousand dollar or forty thousand dollar, or twenty five thousand dollars bench in the middle of your debt, snowball and its annex that is very into very emotional, and am worth every penny. I would strongly recommend go into a council, Jurek recommend or a pasture, This is one of those moments where your pictures and words get screwed up right. We think in in pictures, but we Beacon words and were same baby, we're both sand kid or both say and pay off the debt. That's when one of you has one picture: they'll get another one, so just been able to have a third party the walk you through monsieur bizarre same page, where we headed. What do we want to do here and how? What order one do that man? You can't go wrong, get everybody! On the same page, the other dutch, important and I agree with what you shut our eyes to the unity of the talk version you do have to pee
a line on this Because otherwise, your emotions or plough passed any thing this reasonable. You look up. You be hundred video or somethin I've actually be bored in vitro where they just break the bank, they just keep going back and that was my wife's wisdom up front withdraw line here. Let's say this is this is as far as we can take this and then
we're gonna work hard, but right across his line and those that ended up being extraordinary wisdom is usually our wives, progressive, straightest, absolute. Is it just it's more? Those places where it's impossible for people worry yourself to tell yourself? No doubt you now IRA, sad and touching story. Recently, Zander Insurance has set up a scholarship for children whose parents died without life insurance, its touching, but also sad, since it's a situation that occurs all over the country and can be avoided in so many cases. This
is the reason why I talk about Zander and term life insurance every day, it's not expensive or complicated, gotta, Zander, dot com or call eight hundred three five, six, forty to eighty two, so I don't have to keep talking about these sad story.

Our scripture, the ecclesiastics, seven twelve, the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him. Who has it? Albert Einstein says we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created a man on a man in requires new thoughts. That's what we're here for Monsieur knew how, from new thoughts easy new actions. Governors weathers governors in Fort Walton Beach. I Kevin welcome to the Rams issue How do I just don't? Take Michael sharp? What's up no. The question that I have is about life insurance, so we are doubtful. Opera house we are currently went in. The plans for the planet. Frida animals, we should be- I guess
a financially three point, and I would about five years my questions so humble how much and for how long should we get life insurance, assuming we're going to be able to help ensure fairly short time horizon hooker self ensure means that five years from today, you're gonna have a paid for house your kid. Groaning and gone or you of so much money that your kids taking care of. If you die anyway, how old are you so we yours thirty, four and you're, renting We are currently working on it. We do have to shoulder and how much money do you have currently, we have around five thousand and when you make a year So we are income I now is about
Forty We look about a third of our income so worried about a lot of into investments. my arm should do it? Job change probably was about a year Our income should be creation substantially. Ok, I Well I mean, apparently you understand the r R. My definition of self insured is Israel if money of an investments that your family? I have enough income coming, offer those investments without touching the principle to take care of them. easily your income! Being there. Your income replaced by income off of investments without into touch the actual principle of the investments. If you're gonna be they area five years than you know, you're there,
Are you guys healthy? Yes, okra cause, here's the I mean a million dollars on authority for you I'll just on costs, but the cost of a pizza? It's not much money, Angelo and I do yeah you nothin. I guess that's my question do we do that. Could I know you kind of today we recommend the ten to twelve. Yeah, you change your mind. Branwell may remind me, and if you buy me a half on you would Whatever you not me, it's just not much money when talking about some super expensive policy. If you got his Zander insurance dot com- and you quote out, a million half two million whatever on our thirty four you're, just not that much. It's done costs at my show If you buy that for a ten year or fifteen year? I'd, probably just fifteen year and then, when you reach the point that you our self insured, by the definition I just gave you that you're
wife and children are, you know they got a hundred thousand dollars. You live on, so you ve got You know me a mile and a half in investments that that they can draw off of. once you reach that point. You just cancel the insurance if you want to You may find other uses for it, but in terms of just adding things in that kind of stuff, but it's yeah the difference in a ten year in fifteen years, not gonna, be substantial enough at thirty four years old to screw way that I wouldn't worry about it. or even a five year. I mean it's not it's not blow you away that it's it's not triple and costs are much more and So I would prefer Just go and get a fifteen year twelve times more in common than if you reach self insured before the fifteen years is up, cancelled and I look at those decisions and my life Dave on it on a seesaw and what of risk right? and so what's five hundred bucks or six or silver dollars a year.
verses. My family being taken care of something happens, it just doesn't make any sense on the other side of it right. have the. Advantage in the distinct disadvantage of having sat with thirty five for Euro widows care that had Two million dollars or had nothing correct, in its distortions, five hundred bucks for the suppose you, whatever age and it's it's not to game changer that such an understatement Over used, cliched say that it's it's its oxygen, Everything not the money replaces some by really like that, but it's a week a different conversation. Man be shooting in that living room was somebody and their Goin Dave on their friends of ours. Now Dave, I hate we did this stuff you the day when the clash man we got you I gotta, get
but to me and honours common animal scared. I'm gonna mess that that's right, that's a different thing than did net, I'm scared and then I'm scared on our heat. Next week I gotta go to work on Monday, so it just it's not that much money Carson is whether such Saint Louis I Carson welcome to the Rams Asia. I did you're, taking my call sure. What's up So my wife and I often last year and a half a ban on baby steps forward, tried and six God, the two years. Prior to that, we were all each that's one, two and three and paid off about eighty thousand dollars in debt. My question is so we got a little one year old boy. Am I wife, what were both gonna content together, She wants to quit her job and what does she make on? What did she make? makes probably will be about one thirty five, this year, when you might-
I make about one fifty one, sixty four ward heelers one should come challenge and your income. Gaza have. Well so the way tat we ve been living right now, essentially we're living off of my income and saving everything from her in, You look a little bit, but well, a lot of that year for many seven hundred, thirty thousand adorn beside anymore, exactly yellow- and that's ok, so you're, not gonna, be quite as wealthy, but she's gonna get to be there with her baby. Do it ok! Well, I am all for that too, but I also know why in know hundred Five and growing over the next five or ten years. We could all that into destiny. Can you know what that can grow up to go in What does she do for Lord? She do for a living. She D. Digital advertising I would tell her just for the fun of it for the
for the intellectual stimulation to do free, Lance, Absolute just came right busy does one Grady Freakin Banana Liberia and if you'll stay current in that world, she can step. Again whenever she wants, or whenever your wife, you have absolutely no financially to do that, and I trade one year olds for money in about thirty seconds, to an end I totally agree with you on its more just. Is it is it you know, we could have in the future is a wise decision. I and you don't need at her side. I think you don't need yeah, hey, it's not a map from Carson. You can bet you can be multimillionaires on a hundred. Fifty thousand, and by the way you're, not gonna, gonna put two thousand in the future, because you're gonna be making more and she's also going out some freelance income and when the kids are eight and ten and she shouldn't homebuyers self, rather Adele mentors girl, she's not go back to work. Newsome cause this woman likes what she does. She just like one arrange better
way more than worried about you, your income, I'm worried about her identity and so she's I'd recommend her get some professional women. Some said among women in her circle yeah She's gotta get brings me to man, and so I think that make
me a lot more comfortable with the decision to studied as tuckered out. So I really appreciate that. Thank you. I'm so proud of you guys. I'm proud of you got up to.
