I,
from their quarters of ramsay solutions, broadcast barge moving his voyage studio. That's the rams asia work! That is done, gauges, gang and paid off home mortgage has taken the place of the Bmw status symbol of jacques. We all people build wealth, do work that they really love and create actual amazing relationship. Christina alice number one by selling author ramsay personalities, my co host. Today, as we answer your questions about your life in your money, the college free and some say the advice is worth exactly what you pay for it. The phone number.
triple eight eight to five five, two to five: that's aaa eight to five. Five, two to five we're gonna start with scott this hour in fort lauderdale, hey Scott, our you good day, our you better than I deserve. What's up, I work for a for a company that I get ten percent of my salary, the ability to purchase company stock. the stock has been very very fruitful over the ten years that I worked for the company the way our our stock purchased works is that we get to purchase the ten percent salary twice a year and a six month period at fifteen percent. Below the lowest point in that six month period, so the the the sometimes when I get these the stock at the six months, it can be forty fifty dollars a share better than the market value. At the time when I
red baby steps millionaire and the money make over. You talk more about in your retirement in to mutual funds. I've kind of considered that percent. As being my part of my retirement of I take. Sixteen percent out of my total salary, with six percent Therefore one caveat that my company matches and then there Ten percent is in company stock and the stock has done nothing gain in the in the nine years that I've been there and big jumps as well. So do I leave that in there and consider that still tempers my retirement, or do I switch it like you, talk about in the money make over to mutual funds vote. regulations so much Had a home run, man feels cunning, and so the outlay. Your theory has been stretched tested yet
And that will come along, ok fertile, a couple observations. First number one, cut me start purchase plan is no different than most of their own at all, exactly what you described: fifteen percent below the lowest of the six month average, whatever ok, and so it's not like you're getting some huge discount and other people that have a work for publicly trading company which stock options don't get. It's almost always exactly what you one very, very similar. If not so it's good, but it's not the biggest deal in. most cases. If you look at a fifty two week, high fifty two week low on the charts, you will see a move of most stocks more than fifteen percent up or down, and so that fifteen percent discount can, as you said, cause because it's down causa a great perch price, but also can cause you know it can evaporate and about my blank just because the normal volatility of stock, not perfect.
One observation number two single stocks are more risky. Then mutual funds period no exceptions god, you're you're violating the diversification rule on a yellow, got in one basket, or at least that They are all in that one basket. and so it should you're taking more risk. Even though you ve had benefit of this country. Doing very well, it's gone up, gone up, gone up, I'm happy for you, I'm glad I went up. I don't want you to have hard times, but but that can share that concern. gloss over the fact that you're taking risks because you have an a loss, the scarecrow. The woke up on all issues risky show what we tell to do our standard rule of thumb is odd, don't put more than ten percent of your net worth in single stocks we currently have more than that the weather formula you're, giving me a gun
So the example of that always comes back. To my mind, was many years ago coaching, a a lady that had worked for procter and gamble, which is a fine company. She had thousand dollars and for a one caves. All in count me stop. It went in half the year, she retired he's so I dont get none of my forlorn K is in I work for apple is, is an apple? Stop? Oh just professional, wonderful tobacco. This purchases, a total separate deal and, to be honest with you dave, I haven't done I'm ITALY divorced a couple years and I was lucky to get out and be debt free and you know, I've never really read your books because I never had any. I didn't have any debt, but after watching you with Robert morris, I downloaded the first book and then much second book and really motivated me to kind of get my act together will you please. Asked. He says, spread your poor
two. Seven, yes to aid for disaster may come upon the land, our boys about, is it's about. wonderful. A single stock story is there is on the planet and doubled, the arab large crazy. But I wonder if you have to get rid of some of our more money than reports really do they actually have more cash than egypt. It's an incredible company, and hey. You mentioned you read the first two books and that you originally had kind of stayed away because you weren't in debt, but I recommend you pickup baby step millionaires. Maybe that's what you're talking about? Oh perfectly, accurate, I wrote, know I read both of the books. I've actually listened to probably probably three times each will. Thank you. So the the whole question is: do you how much risk do you want to take and- and I think we can stand up and cheer and apple has done a wonderful job of all the single stocks out there. It's the one that be the most tempting. It is an unbelievable story, but I still am risk averse enough to say, ok,
I'm gone where the scriptures has spread. My portion is to seventy estate. I dont want my home d, you on one company, and you don't have your whole deal, but you got a lot of it and so probably gonna, be a little less apple prone. If I'm you, if I was ever gonna, do You're doing it would be that company. Oh my god, it's wonderful! Ok! So you know, if you want don't give Donna? I just want you to hear le. I want you to feel that your your violating the diversification. Principle and that nothing but increase risk. Apparently in that one, bad I found launch one bad lawsuit over it. Hamlet or whatever out on a letter. I have no idea what can happen, but you know it's there cancel cultured. I don't know, I don't know how this works, but what However, it is, I just don't want it's not in your control, your wife a brazilian employees, you dont controllers stock, and so I e.
I wouldn't be his heavy ended as you are, but I will act I should say if I was ever going to be good there. You know that the financial numb, regardless of what you think of the products or the people or anything else Financial on that company are blistering good yeah, that's it. right position to be in the declaration, the crazy, how much cash they have it's mine blowing, but but aside from that, I still well armenia I'm sitting here saying how much I'm a fan boy of their stocks- and I don't know a single share that says I follow the principles
I don't buy single stocks at all and if I was going to it, wouldn't be more than ten percent. Don't just do what you want to do, but I'm not thanks for the fall just as the rams the hey John bologna here. I say it all the time you can't wish your way to a better life.

What is inspiring to me whenever I reach baby steps have on when, when I have that paid house in work, I do with that money. How can I give back what channels are excited about?

I love among all Madame had to spend tat stuck. You go girl, abigails, witherspoon, rapid city, south dakota abigail. What's up I might be a little when you are. I am, I am currently working in and outside the arm, boyfriend. I am looking to move in together and we can agree on whether to rank apart. Or by a house together buying up without being married. Looking like madam, he can put some advice, I think you're done on the right track. With that I would not recommend buying house was somebody or not married to that can open up so many doors to complications
What's your kind, a timeline for wanting to make a move we can clearly six months. What's your our? Are you guys you're, twenty and twenty to twenty and twenty two if you're willing to talk about buying a house? and you really know we ve been together, why aren't you willing to get married we're very young, yet year high school the young have your married all arm. yeah! I know when we ve been talking about, I think, will probably get married within a year or two. Where, where I'm calling learn, I a serious conversation this weekend because I wanna get I can't when we're gonna get married and how much the wedding should be. Affably fell, vocation
you, you called asking advice about the house and about the whole situation. I'm gonna give you more than you ask for ok, ok, where there was a Brookings institute did a study that sad in america, if you do three things, your probability to avoid poverty is statistically astronaut or, in other words, the likelihood of being in poverty. If you avoid these three things is very, very high mary before you have a kid: have your first job after age twenty and get married, for you live together, but that the testicle analysis. Ok, and the child says of divorce for people that live together before they get married are for times higher than people
get married before living together, statistical evidence, interacting so yeah. If my youngest is thirty when they were in twenties. If we had had been having this conversation, I would say why do you think you can beat the odds. There must be some reason behind all of the day, must be some reason behind all this. So if bubba is willing to sleep- with you and buy a house with you, he should be willing to marry you. That's my dad talkin look, I'm sorry. I told you get more new looked for and how do you know what I'm not cause a problem? I care about you get out, Why should a win, and you know that you're lookin out when I did go, thank you so
I'll buy a house for god's sakes or somebody not married to because when you break it's very, very difficult when somebody dies or becomes disabled, it's very a very difficult, yeah some guy, it's very, very difficult. just like even applying for a long while you were not married would come katy? I did didn't wanna do not work. dating I didn't want to have to deal with the burden of formal nauseous agreed a great shout, yeah, rent for sure and on, but you need to consider these other statistics as well. I kind of god By your not but much, ok, it's my job to tell it's your job to decide what you're gonna do you're like a grown up and stuff funny a few days to think about it, like really take some time. Think about it, pray about it, a valley, before you have this conversation get your own emotions at all, because I mean I think you do have an opportunity to really have some of
harder conversations about, whereas this relationship going what's the timeline and a sound like you know, you guys at least the ability to have the conversation. So if that conference, It's happening this weekend. You know just take some time before happens to consider what dave's. That answer more wise way to approach at no, if you're sure enough to make all these big life decisions than usual. Not make a big like decision. So why our you, when you got twenty three point, three point two so young people get married Alta then? You been married how long ten years- and I got forty- that's thing so you know it- it works yeah. It's an amazing thing. You know and there. You go one successful marriages, their built on those hard conversations like being willing to have those hard conversations about yeah. Maybe he wants to move in with you or he wants to wait longer to be married. What, then, you have to have your boundaries as well. The part of your brain you're, using to make a permanent commitment when you The house is a pretty
Miller part of your brain that used to make a permanent commitment when you decide to get married because- You were in the house, the ultimate it you got. The we got the bridge, on your forehead, unama you're there and new york, stuck in this deal. And so on it very, very similar, shut of critical. King scales and get you there and I know you're in love- and I know I know he's. persuasive
especially if you're buying house to like you're signing on a dotted line for that as well. That's pretty intimidating! If you're not married, it's hard to get out of either one marriage or house owning ownership. Both are messy, so yeah. You need to be really sure what we're doing here, with permanent decisions long term to shoot this is the ramsey show the Moving season is heating up.

christina was ramsay personality. Is my co host today you're on the rams issues, I am dave. Ramsay, open phones, a triple like eight to five. Five two to five amy is with us in Dallas texas. I amy. How are you, rune doing well. Mr ramsey, how are you, sir, better than deserve. What's up, I'm a good question, and I'm pretty sure know, the answer is no stranger to bite. I work for a large cap company to be discussed and over the years we ve built that they sat down through ASAP. option that we received. Although debate, should I sell it? and putting didn't mutual funds. What's it all back ground? What's it all yours it's worth about, one hundred thousand dollars, which is about thirty of my network, maxine, retirement already and a man you already have to sell it on port
I was coaching. A lady with procter and gamble about Tom gets away from me must be twenty. Five years ago, and I honestly have no idea what program gamble stock is doing today. It might be wonderful. But she had seven hundred and fifty thousand. It was her whole nest egg and she had it all in company stock. She was a png. Employee. Benji is a good company by the way again I have no idea about investing in them at all about this: an observation. What happens when you have all your money in company stock or thirty percent of your network and count me stuck? It went down sixty eight percent. Seven hundred thousand turned into like hundred fitted out cause she violate the rule of diverse? and on the the real war, ten percent maximum of ten percent of your network and the reason for that is, if, at all, if it evaporation, became, were zero years Ok, you showed got ninety percent.
but I will really want you to lose thirty percent of your net worth I'm not saying you're very large, kept come usual, unbroken predicting about they will for large gap. Honestly, I just I personally wouldn't take that much risk and you already knew that you knew I was gonna say that right, bad feeling. I guess I'm torn because it's like it is. It has gone down a little bit. If you had seven dollars in the middle of a table in cash, would you go by the starter? Would you put it in mutual funds? I am porn on that decision, because it you I'd like a worthwhile. I give you that thirty percent of your portfolio on one count- you know I don't know if that's the way. I do know that dumb but I was trying to get you to say it, but I'll just say it. Okay. I know that's too much of your net worth that. You got at risk and want to play and you're emotionally involved, because you work there you're still impressed with the company
ray, and here the word lying. They can be an impressive company, their stock still shock, yeah and you can still like going in and still think, they're good people and still get your head taken off. Now? I second question I thought all at once or state space it out over time Is it doing pretty well right now, I mean it, don't I'm still ahead. I guess What I'm any grilles, don't think anybody in single style is doing well. Where now I don't, I don't think you're gonna sell at all at once because I'm trying to do get you to sell some of it now. So I think he's probably better for you to ease out of it as long as you actually do it and I'm not gonna. Let you off the hook you do need to get rid of at least get out. Where is no more than ten percent of your network? then, if you just dying to own it, then that's fine. I listen manner.
Several hundred million. I don't have a single single stock of my portfolio, not one. I, like the risk review, I believe the game on it because I get it back every year as a downturn. What's gonna know back up, so you really need to cut down to about five percent, You have to show you how to do this again in two years: right: yeah, ok, spread your portions to seven yes to aid, for you do not know when disaster may come upon the land ecclesiastics, it's even in the bible to diversify, while a wild, as that how safe, because you do not know when a pandemic may come up on the right stone! I mean you can't you can't do that to me. When one all mine, money in one type of real estate. I'm a little heavy in these buildings are here, but I guess I on all these buildings there were several hundred million.
but we're grateful. But but it's I believe, I'm okay, because I'm the tenant too, but that but who knows, I may say, that's good. I can be a problem, but ah but yeah You just gotta be careful to not put all your joint basket cause some periods torn on the basket, way said if you had seven hundred thousand on the table.
