The from the headquarters of randomly solutions which the ramsay show where we have people build, while the work that they love and create actual amazing relationship, rachel, bruise ramsay personality number one bustling offer. My daughter is my colleague ocean today, as we answer your questions about tripoli, eight to five five, two to five about your life in your money, aaa eight to five five to two
I've, given an indian hapless, whips wrong emitter out again caverns and indianapolis to start off this, our high cavern? How are you ay dave, I'm doing what are you doing better than I deserve? What's up well, got a question. My wife and I ve been talking for about a week or two. Now we are trying to get some stuff underway to start savings for mortgage on our house actually we're about one quarter. Smart three quarters dumb we're one quarter smarter by living off of a thirty thousand dollar a year income for on her income. So I could pay my way through the master's school quarter down. We needed a reliable cars. I found that trap and about a car years ago where, where at now is we all about? One thousand eight hundred left on the car Savings area have about nineteen thousand and another thing very: how about five thousand we're too
between being highly aggressive with that nineteen thousand and being mildly aggressive, because we do have a one year old and were both kind of like due to it. For the full, my tea nerdy. You go a little less wondering what you're advises the man. Did you graduate yeah graduated got a double year: income. Right now I bring em what twenty five growth one: twenty five Brophy Africa and she still working in she makes thirty yeah throughout the hundred prevail, not or household income. one thousand dollar car debt and twenty a thousand dollars in your account and what are the? What are they each saved? And what's the nineteen thousand in It's over in a and capital one? It's just over there sitting in a a high performance, cd, her high performance savings, okay and then the other five is where
it is in our mutual bank account out. I gotcha defied the fight is our kind of our three month. Where we're just starting to look at your guidance stuff, about and with what we are looking at. Our number five is kind of are about five month savings, Have a thousand emergency? But the five? Is there the five thousand about a a five months? yeah. What what happened when I was your age, I went, broke and lost everything rachel was about. Being, we couldn't pay the light bill, and so from that experience I started studying what is the fastest right way to bill wealth, because I had built wealth the wrong way and that's why after everything too much down, and in studying that an in studying people who had built wealth, I pretty quickly discovered that the fact that the people who build while not the middle,
should not the people who wander around enough fog with an opinion, but the people who have actually become millionaires the vast majority of them realise that their most powerful wealth building to wash their income, none of them get rich on a high yield savings account. I also mean the count will not by death. It cannot mathematically by definition, make you rich cause you're, making three or four percent. Women and inflation to infringements will make it like ten percent. Inflation is mine, ok rodya, so you're you're gone backward period, so the bottom line is this: the ones that built wealth were the ones that got out of debt and avoided debt that put us on the journey of at ramsay thirty years ago, of showing people how to get out of debt,
that they can build wealth more reliably so that they can change their family tree so that they can be outrageously, generous. Ok So that's the premise on which we answer all of these questions. We want to take you down that path and never In the history of man, have someone keeping a twenty thousand dollar carling around, like it's a pet, been a myth, a building wealth. thinking we were, we were. We were really aggressive with it to get to the start, so it was sixty thousand dollars total. I paid forty in two years and Now we are looking at it as we did with let us say out loud that that purchase was stupid? was way out of your budget. You show that was the twenty five percent, not more I'm agree with you I would dumber private dumber I've done of dunbar about but show all of that's gonna later
you're, pretty simple answer yet which governors is is to pay it off today and then you're gonna have three thousand dollars left as a buffer for your starter or your emergency. Fathom babysit three, which is your three to six months of expenses, would make a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. You shall be able to put several thousand dollars a month on that account, and so we're not gonna. Three thousand, but for thirty seconds the end of the next month we should be at six or eight thousand and the end of the next month. You should be of ten or twelve thousand dollars so we're not walk now, one year old, with absolutely no money as a way of life. Just a momentary thing here by christmas, you ought to have a Big old power money man and that That's where we're at where we're we're both when we talk We both phoebe like yours, they enable the. the grass at an informant. You have this and were both looking at the one year old, who does have some medical pointless come up going, should we be just slightly favour and
in and out over manner, not gonna have a medical. I went on unless the child has medical issues today gonna have a one year old, medical appointment that he's gonna take more, three thousand dollars of it. Unless she has summed up unless a struggling with something but him. If he's going in for standard check ups, you know it's couple. Box dude and you make a hundred fifty thousand dollars a year. I think you can handle it. He'll be aggressive with it Regrettably, the reason would be that that's the fastest right way, were you to bill wealth, get that emergency fund in place a fully funded emergency fund of three to six months of expenses? then, with no payments at all now, for that house like crazy then do it. Man I mean just leave in lean and on a budget gonna think given to what the mindset shifts that is important, for You guys just to say out loud with you and your wife is like.
Ok, where we are today, we don't like it. We don't like having. We had a sixty thousand or carlo. Now we ve done with we ve taken it down to twenty one thousand. We have some money here. We have some money there. Obviously some stirring and you guys that you're not content with where you are financially. You know, there's something in you. That's like man there that there could be better way, which is why you picked up your phone and called the show I don't like their iranian again. Do you the barricades? Their name dave, bear same day, flower bud, but so so I challenge you. Kevin would be like to be do something different right this way, but where, saying again: it's not gonna, put you back financially at all I have a great income. You're gonna be ok, ended in there's, gonna, be natural fear, natural hesitation to do something that feels a little different, but what you guys have been doing. If you keep doing the same thing, you're not going to be happy with your results, so you have to do something different doing something is uncomfortable but push in, even if its aid
you're scared, uncomfortable because you're gonna be ok, you're gonna, be ok, you remove her. If you pay attention and play through stuff. They should the rams. Russia hey! eyes being free to make your own medical decisions is a big deal these days.

Each other's medical bills find out more today at c h, ministries, dot, org, slash budget, that c h, ministries, dot, org, slash budget you're a camel, ramsay personality is my co host today and stepping into the guest see Alex or most
I'm going to mess it up or mozy a first generation iranian american entrepreneur. I've just spent the morning with him. We did his podcast. I was a guest, investor a philanthropist known for his expertise? customer acquisition. Duration, huge deal on youtube, has done some amazingly large businesses including scale than exited seven companies for excess of forty six million dollars, been a joy hanging out with his young guys getting things done, one three million youtube subscribers well good to have you brother, to be here or honour to heavy weather thanks for hang out. Yet this is big. I've been fallen, you on you too, for a long time, and then we had am stephan on. I was on his show and he was he got to hang out with Alex so you're on now and what's interesting is that you mentioned in one of your youtube videos that Dave gave graham stephen Some of the wisest advice you'd ever heard around investing, and I want you to share that sue graham was headed
I tried to have his investments on the table. He said dave. What am I doing wrong here? What should I be doing and dave rather than dislikes, given him like all? You need to be sixteen per cent here and thirteen per cent here. He said well, if this pie our where your knowledge and expertise how'd you divide it up, is it I promise in eighty five percent real estate, maybe like fifteen percent, like my knowledge, stocks and more or less mirrored work grams, actual investment. Before you look like and the big make way that I have seen that was it wasn't one circular methodology. Wasn't I owe you gotta get into stocks, you gotta get into crypto you gotta get into novices like viagra, but it was more so do what you know when my wife and I exit our company and we'd taken sides. What attributions part of that I hadn't right
We come up with investor strategy because the investments attitude was in beginning, don't be poor and get started, but then, after that it was just like. I had everything in indexes and I wanted to take a more active role and the only thing but like a new good enough was business I'd gone all the way to the edge on two three four big realist. Transactions and ripe running to send the money. I pulled back no, this stuff. and so once I got basically gave my, permission or felt like you'd, give me some sort of like verbal permission, to do it. I know access is not com, kind of started and became our family office for everything that we do investing, which is exclusively businesses. We feel like we can add value to the end base you know you're comfortable. You shouldn't were put money into something that you don't and don't know and because some guy in a good suit shed two and the only thing he may own as a good shoe. That's probably not where we're taking the advice, so really that that's really really really important. Okay, so
You started with nothing fifty million dollar net worth in excess of that on this one transaction. Yet no one. I know you're, probably north of a hundred million. At that point, and The iranians american show your parent year for your first generation for american, because your parents came from IRAN. Both judgement at issued at mom's got a really good friend that both of his parents came here, and I also unbelievably successful aunt and financially, and sometimes I think I was talking to a friend, Brian Buffini, who's. Irish. Tat is a book called the immigrant edge and so the mentality that comes up that georgia's parents or a second version. Originally eastern really now there's a
immigrant edge. That goes with that one is the you think, the number one mindset as you work with investors in companies that keeps people broke. They subscribe. to what everyone else around them. Who is poor, tells them about how to get rich, so they take Peut poor peoples advice on how to make money And so as result of that they keep doing the wrong stuff or they don't do anything at all. A lot of them sit into this area of the process analysis there like. I need to find the perfect thing and me Ten years later, there still trying to fine perfect thing. They have started anything We have become a writer right now Are you become an investor investment isaac, his eyes, I talk a lot about sales stuff because I think it's a really good entry thing for anybody who wants to you know, take control their own income and costs no money into, and I have a skill. As I know you can read a hundred bucks on sales, but the first
thousand cold calls. You do you learn more than all the books. They read up to that point. Experiences a mighty teacher. One hundred percent and it's interesting with skill proficiency, but people are put off, takes twenty twenty hours of of concentrated, worked, become proficient in moscow, play the game, are playing the piano learning to do a cold call, twenty or a profession of actual dedicated work. But people will wait a decade to do those first, twenty hours, because they're afraid fears hold on back because they don't want to fail a lot of times. They don't have the judgment that they think is coming long from people who are actually paying attention them to begin with multi millionaire young age entrepreneur alex her mozart, our guests, the segment in catch him on to be sure, and with that up, that's h, o r m osier, if you dont know and you check him out of his website. It acquisition die com show. What do you feel Like I'm mean you had a couple really big hits along the way. The actual the liquidity event was a big hit, but the building up
gradual and on it may was like you had. You hit the lottery, and twenty minutes had this network, but you shall you built, accomplish hold it in. there was a lot of it. What do you think That is taught you about building wealth out there in amerika they as possible and be what do you think that you're, the sense of hope or the sense, a prince both around it. What it? What did you would you take away? So a hundred percent possible, be, I think I m, I define sadness as ignorance is in you, don't know what options you half and select whenever you feel hopeless, It's because you don't know what to do, and so, when I felt sad in my life, I think to myself like this is because I dont know what to do, which means that this is a problem I can solve, because all was figure out what I need to do and then that even me, my first action step, which is like. Oh, I just don't, know great and so for me solving. That has been a perpetual education process and nowadays, there's
aw much free information that exist on the internet. You can learn how to flip houses. You can learn how to had to say you can learn how to code. You can learn how to edit video like they're all these skills that that pay entry level roles, fifty sixty seventy hundred two hundred thousand years ear can learn in eight weeks and so for the people who are poor, when it is put in the eight weeks and then apply for the jobs you way ahead, a lot of young people out there and I get the messages they're, seventeen or eighteen. They call into the show the gone hey. I was invest and want to build wealth. I don't want to wait till him sixty at a wanted work, a job I hate to the four one k thing: they want make money really quickly and a lot of time they want. Do it the wrong way, and what is the advice? You constantly give those folks, so I say, like you, invest in the esa. Ninety p, five hundred as I, but I prefer people unless it s me five hundred which is you're, always india, higher returns on investing in your own education, your skill set compared to any stock market, and so,
A really real example of this is up. Buddy mine has a daughter. She, seventeen, I think she just turned eighteen. And she's she's working out a bowling alley, minimum wage job, popcorn ripe and she said, or he told her. He said you know you can trouble your income if you just get a certification So if a bottom aesthetics, today's five bucks and by tat after all, she could invest near, be five hundred and eighteen years old. They will be a tonic compounding, but if she invest five hundred dollars in getting the certification than two days later she was or income prob, we are better investment and by MR vacation than for ever having a three times higher baseline, for what she can make. Nothing too, like a micro example of how much skills can give you more cash flow to invest in everything else, and so my my belief is always keeping. reinvesting skills, because that raises your lifeline. Your your lifetime, baseline of earning potential that
I'll get an invaluable valuable education is always cash. Minuscule amounts, not all education, but it valuable usable utilitarian value she can meet. We go and do something with that. It's not like. I collect degrees from now. This is like studying something that is usable? One hundred percent of time is the best investment treatment my father. Came here with a thousand Allow me to speak english, but he had a medical degree in he's always been big on education for me and if you look at it as an actual investment, I mean he fled during revolution in IRAN. He said they took everything we had, but they couldn't take my education and so it's something that can never be taken from it from you. You can't lose in a divorce, can't be taxed on it when you're at your education itself, it appreciate, the time and in the more educated, become more viable each prior skill ads on top toxic compounds.

Here's, what the idiots on tik tok I'll, tell you, oh god, that that running an air being. Is a hundred percent profit gonna make so much money. You're gonna be judged by, thing in money, there's gonna be cash everywhere. It failed I mention that renders the tear up your house. It fails to mention the times that it sits empty. It fails to mention the high management fees. It fails to mention all of that. Ass of your maid service. It fails to mention the fact that local municipality, decides that airbus embrasure no longer legal when they pass a law prohibiting. you're being in your neighborhood, which is happening in some areas and h, always or preventing them left and right, because they don't want a hotel
well in their neighbourhood, which is essentially what I bnb is, and I the thing If everything worked perfect away, the tick, tat guy say you're gonna be, shall richest, unbelievable, but guess what you and I live in the real world. It doesn't work that way running air me as a complete pain in the bahamas. Ok, exactly what three fail in may is screaming. Are you gonna be to convince him of that shit. No sound the deed and try? I'm sorry. Just now I refused to sign the he locked, the house. How s your name on it in tennessee as well. He can't get a he locked without your signature right now. Ok! Well, Thank you all so now discuss the marriage aspects of this. But no you right
Don't do it cuz? Well, you know here's the thing who can find a virtuous wife for her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her and he will have no lack of gain sandy. You have what's called. common sense. You can perceive risk a mile away. Your husband spent so much time on tick that he has no idea what real risk is and how much work and hassle and problems. This is You can make money running in urban bay, but you know you can offer my group money running a hotel, but it's called a full time job Somebody has to manage the hotel so by us to manage the maintenance people some. to manage the maid service, somebody s, that this is not just. Found money that you walk out on the sidewalk have a bale of money because you signed up for airbus and bake us from moron on tick tax that it was a great idea. It's passive its past
when Jacob was no passive about it. Talk about active. This is about as active a piece of real estate as you can get again, There is situations where you can make bank on this if you're willing to go through the hassle and the hard work and put up with it. But it's not as much as people say it is, and it certainly not as much as your gross rent projection is by freakin air, be in vain because all tell you as you keep it for all the time here's wouldn't get for it. Will nobody keeps a full all the time number one number two nobody puts everybody and earn a hundred percent on pay, never happens. No boy put I buy in there and they don't tear it up past beyond the level of their deposit, a never happens so dad gum- and I got up at three degrees of separation- uh huh guy- that has an inexpensive property that he.
And a bunch of characters. women there and one of them killed the other one in Oh! So we are not at all. I think that yeah, that's my that's my love of air bnb then, but that doesn't happen very often, but I mean these characters and this was not a cheap. This was not a house emma, in the wrong end, the town or whatever it is called sheesh knowledge. This is this: was people partying and hardy too hard? Oh, my gosh out of control so yeah. I saw it does that eyesight. That gonna happen. No, that's not gonna happen right, but the point is running a high turn over night tonight. We too weak rental. If this is not
it puts out a tenant in there and they stay in there a year and you ever have an actual relationship with the planet. So, okay, so here I am plain devils outcome, as I sometimes do. There are listeners who want to get into that space and they they don't. We one of the listener, tik tok, as you call it. What do you say? Picard a person like our short after your homes, paid for by beefed up servant and understand that you are embracing two things that no one about when you do urban bake high national factor, high risk yeah, and so you have to apply those to the numbers It's the same thing when some somebody goes to all these nothing down, rules that crap and they go. I can rent the house four thousand dollars and my payments? Only five hundred I'm gonna cash flow, five hundred Let me tell you how that works and they undergo, if that's the case, you're gonna break, even with vacancy
with non payment with suing to victim with fixing them. airs beyond the deposits with fixing the repairs that just happen, your house, the heat near, goes out. Roof leaks, paying the insurance paying tax messing with it. You got a father. We're cash flow? No, you don't your breakin. Even this is what He pulled on grass. Why father largely what that means As you know, what a flip you're doing. You have no knowledge of how real estate really works in my homes, properties of all kinds are one hundred percent paid for, and I swear I wonder if some american them, then you know I mean it's unbelievable and you know you know araby and be a net long and what an even get into it. Moon once the crews runs all stuff rachel have, but he would shoot me if I proposed or bambi make his life miserable and in what. But why is it? miserable the cider or that's the risk, it's not worth the risk the juice.
The squeeze there. You go, that's what I want to get like. Just pay cash for a normal rental right now, But I why even funny what you want to do, what you probably could make more money net net. You won't make more money. We will get it wrong. Regional property, you make more money doing urban, be than you would on. Didn't you No, not yet. Some guy off the streets is going to net net. You would do that, but even if you don't know what you're doing you don't know, if you're out it'll be atlanta net net you'd make more money, but you what you need to perceive is the extra hassle level. It is real you're dealing with a lot of human beings. This is through an emanation look,

Dr John baloney ramsey personality is my co host today, Travis is with us in grand rapids michigan. I travis welcome to the ramsey show
Mr Andria, that your giant aloni its pledge to speak to you, both today, you're too, what's up saw, I am my question- is how to get out of doubt if my current salary, as a truck driver, projected to make eighty thousand the sheer ok, how much is your debt Tibet is sixty seven thousand. Forty thousand is du monde that and then I have eleven thousand dollar balance on a car in the rush is credit cards I been trying to make a dating currently living with by partner, and so that's he because, when I moved in with her, I was over the road and now I'm a local driver saw I pay her. To help her with the mortgage, but we're not married. Yet I
age of mention, so ok, Oh, you are paying part of your roommates payment as rent etc, Yes, your rent is how much five hundred a month. Ok, we make eighty thousand dollars a year and you have a five hundred dollar a month- rental, okay, yep. So what wrong with getting on a tight tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, I tight budget and beginning to pay these debts down. You got your you version of a margin in this budget. Yeah I've been true. waiting to see that for myself, like I have in my notes, all my bills and credit cards um how much each monthly payment to some of them is for the minimum balance, and following the listening to you and some the last couple months for the baby sets now, but I just can't
to get ahead of you. Don't you haven't done about you in so what is your take home pay and about twelve hundred a week? Okay, you get paid once a week, correct, okay, you sit down and you look at june. How many times are you going to get a paycheck? Let's pretend Four o that will give you four thousand eight hundred dollars to work with minus five hundred for rent minus food, direct minus some car gas, minus the minimum payments on all of these bills and everything else goes towards the stupid credit card. Until it's gone and you cut up the credit card, I've got two of them up. Just start. Listening to you, I ve paid. I state feel, like you re right past, all the room that should be in this budget, forty, eight, a dollars. Minus five hundred minus food- that's up! but load a money left over yeah.
About thirty zero to hundred dollars or thirty seven hundred dollars. Now how much is about the credit card, I have three of them laughed once point you one, fifty six hundred and seven hundred you should, by the six or seven heard office month and probably the twenty one. Fifty yet seared your democratic urgently. What one month a one month, stew, it ok but you're not going to end then you're, not gonna vacation. And you're, not going drinkin with your buddies, you got life here, get very clean up your dad gum match because you want to get married. Yes, it's time to clean up your mesh. So what teaching. You is what called a zero based budget your income each month, unique to that month. Minus every dollar gets an honest. My every dollar has emission every dollar
a name beside it before the month begins before june. yet share next week, you need to have figured out what you're come for june, is and assign every one of those dollars. First to necessities, food shelter, clothing,. protection and utility show rent car payment, car gas food; ok, that's it and then everything else do we're goin out this got these credit cards lot luck there, the freak, an enemy because they are. Yeah. I heard only eight hundred monitoring five hundred and twenty six hundred dollars makes you debt free. Are I'm sorry twenty thirty two and make sure that free you're dead? free of your credit cards in one month. You really should be right. That's how you do it absolutely! That's how you do it right? And jump online and pick up there are our hang on, will give you the every dollar app and It's your turn into the advanced version.
every dollar app which connects to your bank and helps you run your budget. It's the world's best budgeting app and it'll help you, but giving every dollar a name. That's the point! When you get very deep old, very nuanced and a very careful with your plan in each and every single month and you squeeze every one of these dollars until Benjamin franklin squealing then you are ready to go and that's what we're doing. We're not going to money on anything that are tron, cleanest mess up. So realistically, you ve got fifty He too, if it fifty five, thousand dollars in that you make eighty thousand what you got almost no expense, as you probably could be a hundred percent that free and a year pretty close a year and for everybody, listen! I want don't don't blow by this. Is you to look at him? A black man that guy you can't out in your ear unintentionally, your lack of intentionality. Make eighty seven thousand dollars a year and he can't

I heard you I'll bring this to a close. it is almost like it was going on forever. The way you talk about it, you I don't have a plan to land this plane That's bothering earn more than anything you're asking about you, forty one years, and so somebody asked me, though, not how we ve been married forty one years because I told her if she leaves ongoing weather. I couldn't diana, do what you're doing. I would be a complete, wet, dishrag wimp couldn't do not gonna make it. she says she says it.

I said I have to leave this town in order to stay sober and be mentally and physically. Well, I don't care what my job is. I quit I'm going to go with her it's so right.

Think yet harbour meet I'm out in my own area, but the thing is Don't want to! There's no point, creating all these strange point, just what john saying, but you been thin air, yeah you're, right yeah. Somebody needs to give up something here, to get a more sane life situation and only then do you make the decision to buy but some minting the separated marriage by you buying a house for six years now, no make a very clear way. Had ninety days within a hundred and eighty days or we organ, we are living together, some way or another right. What's it look like and you may have to deal with an ugly reality. an ugly reality where he says I'm not leaving.
And you're gonna have some hard choices to make and some hard decisions to make, but just pretending that those hard decisions don't have to be made is just me.

How do I deal with an anxious kid or how do I deal with the kid? The struggling depression? The number one answer I'm always going to tell parents. Is you go, get well cause your kids are absorbing that stuff
you go take care of, you make sure your whole and then circle back and start trying to solve your kid. It almost always not always, but almost always be and to lift that child up a moment at her whole, not a twelve year on the twelve. Rolled on the planet and then look at this marriage situation and go right This is the rams issue watch all rams. Your personality is my co host today, open phones, a triple eight eight to five five, two to five. Chris- is weathers in Atlanta hi. Chris welcome to the ramsey show hey dave thanks for taking my call. So just a little bit of background, I'm forty two. I am a tree. half an hour and I have been then that free all my life, I laughed fifty years, but I feel guilty. Every time I spend money
He had fallen K failings. We invest money. Still work. My wife still works, but it pains me to spend Anything over a hundred dollar sometimes I was wondering if you could tell me you still feel that even for thirty years of being that free. Oh, what not, because I feel that our house has paid off. We have no payments and I still get that quenching. in my stomach. Every time we have to go do anything. I can relax and have fun wondering if you could tell me- Maybe how you feel sure if you felt the same way after you adapting the gulf about bunch of wealth. So it's not guilty to fear that make sense, and what that
is as jot doktor john bologna would show your body is remembering being broke and its telling you that that you're spending as a threat, it's a threat, it's a threat. It's a threat and, sir, your fear active. That's what happened to me anyway, even years after you got debt free, not ten years, but for a while it did, and I I what I did is just what you've done. I just recognized it was happening and I kind of like you're doing. I started asking the question. But the flipped go on. I mean what's wrong, where you got a million dollars. Were you pissing and moaning about going to the grocery store, for you know our jargon, my crazy yeah I mean that's what that's what that was me talking to me? Not you, okay, but I'm just saying I had to kind of go. Okay and again I'll I'll, just bring out channel. My inner below me- god help us but yeah, but the hut
don't go, but nobody you know, that's the thing I had to do. Two things. One is how to save our facts. Are my friends what we ok. So what is your net worth? Chris. I would say probably two point: two and europe Forty two years old and you're, a hundred Note that free your hundred dollars, what. Wow, two, seventy five. So let's just be realistic for a second. If we took two hundred thousand dollars in hundred dollar bills out of your net worth and put it in the fireplace and burned it he's now got cold, sweat straight. No, he does if we did that, if we did that your life is not going to change. One per cent
The really good way- that's a fact, no, that's a fact other than the nervous breakdown that you would have, but I'm just saying, but the, but you know what I'm saying mathematically are you is ok with two million, as you are with two point: two! You are window that to be true. That is a fact safari. So when you go and and go on a nice vacation and drop ten grand for your poor wife who's put up with you trust me. I just did that. I had a nervous very I know I know, but the reason is Europe you're, acting like your your fear mechanism. His activating as if you're broke, and the facts tell us that that is a false signal, and can I take it one further? Chris:
cause. I gotta relate to some of what you're saying arm on salmon eyes journey through this debt free journey in and then some I've had to go there have been certain moments that I've had to go back and fight were that emotion is coming from, and I've had to think back on what what was the instance where that was ignited? ok was when I asked for lunch money at in inn, someone blew up on me right or it was because I did that. and that was the first time that you have phrase you heard yes away. We ain't got no money. That was a phrase I heard grown up. Chris and there has been so many times in my life, I've had I've had to go back and fine. Where that came from inside two, it directly ngo, hey. If, if I, if I buy it's puritan issues right now, is not going to break the budget, no one's going to yell at me. No one's get. You know what I've had to go back and say that if I, by what I would like to have for lunch at the grocery store. There's no guilt! not gonna, throw the budget off the families, not gonna pay for I've had to say that, and I think some time
my guess is that there are some things that have happened that have caused, triggering you and you gotta go back and identify the in non honestly speak directly to an essay there any more anymore I'll. Tell you that I believe that another world price we dealt with as chris was once I kind of started getting past it, though fear the sheer it's not fear a shirt terror that my wife Sharon felt when we went bankrupt and lost everything away at a brand new baby in a toddler and the lights got cut off. If I even a similar body, language or tone. Thirty years later, towards spending like the emergency fund- and it makes it actively a triggers that inside of her- and we have to react to this time out back up- does she have to start breathe and again it cause she. I can socket she's. She feels like I'm doing what I did when I went broke for just a now no second and activates in all of these lie.
Slight up in her in her of her physical body changes the american her or pissed off from being really terrify again and it just I am the YAP. It acted it's all fear and anger best friends. I run around the other answer: Armed with the feeling, if it but here's a point, ok number one fat, Sure, your friends, you all we start doing, that you just have to stop and go now wait a minute. That's not real. This is this is fear, that's called false evidence appearing real. This is a this is a falsehood us spending. This money is not irresponsible and it's not going to break our family- and you shall have talk yourself and build the muscle than of doing that. The other thing you can you gave a very specific process. Put inflation. Go! Ok! Luck for Sharon and I we do not spend or give, more than a thousand dollars without talking to each other and if it's more than a thousand.
if we wait overnight, also we breathe. Now do we have to do that mathematically today, absolutely not where we got all kinds are margin, but do it as an act of respect to each other to keep from activating scars, those wounds from Heaven gone broke and you know it was the first five years after gone broke from me and even today, I'm telling you that we still if we're, if we don't abide by some certain processes that are safety valve we can still step back over that line in there. Emotional processes, they're, not mathematical processes. Again, we could give I mean we could take x number of dollars and put it the metal floor burn it and it wouldn't affect our lives. We've got the money, it's not that's, not the issue so mathematically, it's not the problem, but but the action, the body language, the
home the process used, seems impulsive, irresponsible out of control immature and it feels like the old days. That's right, amboina light your butter. it. Well I mean it's just another component to when we say money is I mean it's behavioral in it behavioral when the moment, but it's also taking into account their behavior. You did beforehand and you feel bad and you're still connected to those So when you get in a moment, we were like. Why am I freaking out right now? You know when no for sam. If the bank account used to hit a certain number he'd start being like. Ok, ok, ok, we gotta go, do something to help her an end. The way it is, we can act like these things didn't have an effect on us mentally and that that behaviour didn't affect us because it does not. I am much more healed yes thirty years ago, then I would Thirty munch, none the bankruptcy! Yes, you know, two years later versus thirty months later, and so you should go through a healing process, but it's also just wise to acknowledge
What really going on here and as number one website? Oh, that's, not real number! you look at the actual ratios. Ok, we're not being irresponsible! So why? I feel young men and the new learned up for you practice your way. Through normal, feelings, verses, wounded, frigate, the rams asia. the roger bruise, ramsay personality is Michael vote. Today. Welcome the rams asia open phones aaa eight to five five, two to five care. Is whether in montgomery, alabama high carried welcome the other amnesia think driving you sure, what's up. So I recently got divorced. Why I left him last summer it was like a domestic violence situation. I had to get out and I was in there. You go full time and though I got
how m I gonna live on my feet like a lot quicker than I thought I work for you better eliza awkward alone. I told her. You would area but I ve met them. You know that I'm in your home, under gonna break you're gonna be the rock star there. We all know you to be on products yeah, but anyway, to kind of controlled the finances, though I bid on how I had a credit card left, but I haven't been using it. I'm gonna get it get a lawyer in to kind of get back on my feet and thought about six thousand dollars where I have like sixteen, but I've been paying at all and then I got a job. I work in my medical failed now in my bathed pay, like big d and with commission I make on oh that about five, every moment that kind of areas, my worst monthly, by earth thou then, but why? he started on, but did by how the november. Unfortunately, when interest rates with seven point two by that ethical load, I have twenty
six thousand auto loan aunt, but at three percent interest rate. I got a little good interest rate on that and then I had about eighteen thousand in student loan debt wandering like what I should pay off first and then we get closed on our house we ve got, tells us together, and I we had of what the last profit that twenty A thousand from now I just market. I got it, I got it like: week ago, that'll jumping on your lie on good it, making a four point. Five you I thought the really good money market is so now and I'm trying, five. I should I keep it there shit what try pale earth I really want to get a better home interest rate, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that, you know, will carry you're you're doing incredible job I mean you absolutely have taken of your life.

Besides this twenty five thousand dollars, that's a money market account not really like. I have my bank account set up her like twenty percent. I didn t get up to forty percent. When I get paid it automatically goes in my favor, my money market, was eating like twenty per cent each paycheck, so I have about eight thousand in savings. On top of that, there may be twenty seven thousand total. That's great ok. So what I would do is I would take this twenty. thousand dollars, and we too you to pay off the smallest debt first, so whip and twenty four
thousand plus you have two thousand dollars in your set, your other savings, which I would take that down our drain it down to a thousand, so you have twenty six thousand dollars that can be thrown at this day.

Do you think that ever gonna happen or no, and you know what you, even if it does you borrowed money, you owe it yet there and you make good money now you're going to be making one hundred thousand dollars this year. Aren't you yeah yeah, so pay off your twenty six thousand. Our student loan
Okay, ok, yeah in the house I bought is a fixer upper. So should I just wait on picking up the how okay good, let's get the debts cleaned up? cause when you don't have any payments, but the house payment you're, making a hundred thousand dollars a year.

it was like a six thirty, but now back up above the seven hundred. When did you do that before before or after you got two seven and a quarter. I did that a couple, the girl when I first I dont like thirty three thousand, and I think that with that not what I was making chunk of doing like about non payment on the credit card, look, go ahead and get rid of this dad all this and when you get rid of all, is that you don't see that card that score jump up? in right when it does that if you can get down around a six percent it'll, give you a one and a quarter. Savings that'll, make it worth refinancing and culture to a mortgage and get that if you can get it down to two percent are lower its can be worth refinancing and deal with it. Near thirty, always or fifteen year and I listen you're asking a bezonian different questions about all of the different things go now you're in control of your life again, and We want to help you with this recovery. This bounced back that you're doing

There is in that too, and just that simple budgeting up, I'm telling you that's gonna, give you so much freedom, and so much confidence so were excited for you. Carry buzz For those of you out there. That think you have a friend or a relative, that is a victim of domestic violence, married to a jerk who thinks his wife's a punching bag. And let me tell you a real symptom. The data shows this, and we know this from thirty years of working in these situations. If the guy is one thousand prevention and control of the money and will not His wife make a single decision of any kind with the money. There's a high correlation between that havre and domestic violence because of it control the money, he thinks he can control her and this this whole domestic violence thing is about control
so, if you see a guy who's doing that to his wife, he's probably beaten, that's what I'm saying not a hundred percent, but there is a high correlation of that.

It is at that angel and n the the the one of the most ag evading things about people they get and emma limbs, not everyone, but but but some people get in it they take on this call like where, if you're not in it, then you must be stupid. You don't understand what I'm doing then you're an idiot, because only people that are smart do mean all so. Smart people do this stuff and if you don't understand and they actually saw their millions really or some the hierarchies within certain him alone to push that mentality we caught Mary came about. fifteen years ago them off. They still do it or not. They.

No there's no way to get this money. They might get this two thousand loan, but I mean the exposure to the whole family
over the steel, yeah and she's she's, putting everyone's she's putting aside common sense, she's, putting a shot good financial decisions, her marriage, fidelity aside her or her husband's wishes, she's putting aside, not the good of her own family, all for her to chase this great- and this is great. make no mistake yeah, because this is I'm going to do this and then I'm going to be able to buy a yacht. I'm gonna live the dream. As the american people say and show that that that is straight up And when you, and when you push everyone, including common sense, good financial sense, your husband's wishes, the good of your family. Aside for your selfish greed, you are a mess. You're, a hot mess, lea yea your messed up, shouting out. What is clark? Do I thank you guys who got to see a marriage counselor I think instantaneously, because I I was still couples man. You be real careful with me
We are the high where the highway ghosts. People choose our that's exactly right. Used at four, very, very rare circumstances, and she pulled it on an email m training course. There's like that's all. We got a pretty big waste of that sort of ammunition being a vegas in they, your point, taxes hold them and they give you a two and six years gone all it. That's a bold move this so David just to just because It's the only one. We got here right now, she's, not a part of the conversation or if he has outlined it correctly, they got sure as they did there's no question. They got serious issues this also feels like a power play and sometimes there's power place, because people have lost their mine there, just their jerks there. They bought into something that is a call and they can't see the force of the trees. Sometimes
people's smash, the other side of the theatre totter, because somebody else and the marriage has been holding down for so long and so long and so long and so on and so clark. If that's you, if you have Weekly wrap this house up in this is my way or the highway, and she finally says enough. This is my way or the highway and that's something needing to put on the table. You might have reporters there, you go, but if not brother, I'm sorry I would. See somebody this week and if she won't go, you need to go by yourself because it looks like y'all are heading in completely different directions. This marriage does not last absolutely not without help note. This does not help. Does not. Last, okay, because she's she's right to burn the place down for a dream that has absolutely no underpinning whatsoever.
and she read it burn your family burn. You burn the finances, burn everything burn the marriage all over a training course for em. Does that I sound like the dumbest thing. You've ever heard in your life, I'm getting ready to end every part of my life as positive for that that that, tell you if you're in an alarm and your recommending that your people download do that, you should have your butt kicked up. run your neck and where it like a collar, you really should have. Somebody talked you, you're hurting people, you're hurting people, you're, manipulative, unbelievable jerk and you ve stop that and you're the reason that people hate him alarms with people like you that do that now at the actually know, few human beings. Animals aims that are reasonable human being absolutely and they you, think I'm going to hell because Nor am I will this not a call. You know that leaving their products, they believe in their production, it's their method of selling it and I'm not mad at them. That's not the point. The point is that the
something about the emblem culture generates ever so a company or a hierarchy within a company that promote such conakry. Look goes back to what I think it makes me think of, like blue, buster they made their money when their customers lost They made their money on late fees and they needed customer to fail so that they can make their money not the other way around? If you are teaching people, I, like husbands than you are making your money off a marriage is gonna fall apart you're making money off deception, you're, making money of hurting people, and there will be an end game to your business and have to be about how can we help you? Not? How can we lied? What's the long play absolute How does everyone and up more whole healthy, ambrosch, wherefore done? Otherwise, your business will go if it's not about helping people, so I ll give you an example: aren't to go to entre leadership, master series. I think the tickets are gone for platinum, four april,
of next year. Okay, they'll be about three thousand people. There there'll be some of the top speakers in the world and teachers in the world and very, very proud of what we will be doing, but to sit in a platinum seat is just under ten thousand dollars. If you call me up- and you say the way, you're going to go to platinum as good as platinum is and it it might be in the platinum experiences and as good as entrepreneurship, mattress or you just might be the best leadership conference in America today bar, not I mean I'm so proud of what we do. There were just completed. One on you got high marks. You ve done your speaking: their actual income, doktor Jordan petersen willie robertson, where their witherspoon Malcolm Gladwell, where there was a egyptian incredible. unemployment, and we have got front road paid almost ten thousand hours, peace to be sitting there in that platinum section. If you call me up, and you say the way you're gonna come and sit in the platinum section at entre. Leadership is
as I am of it and, as I know it's worth, every dime is that you're going to clean out your bank account down to six hundred dollars and you're going to go against your spouse's wishes. I'm gonna tell you, I don't want you as a customer and you're borrowing, seven thousand yeah, you need to stay home. Absolutely you don't I do not want your money, you need to stay home because I don't want your marriage has blood on. I I don't I don't I. This is not what I do. I don't do I mean I, I sell some like a ten thousand dollar weekend of my point, And never one time have we knowingly accepted a situation like this and encouraged. This is the way ten thousand dollars I'd, have somebody? No, no, don't need that bad boys and girls. I got to sleep later it's not that hard life. You know it's just wrong, so honey clark get your marriage counts. does when your wife says my where the hawaiian anything this is known as a flight.

While you talkin about pop culture and money and hey, we get we a message: all the time, that six seven year olds love the show and even like eighty year old region undergoing, we get no listen, it's not a show about drinking people, I'm just kidding it's at how the hours of the day and its causes happy hour.

How much you oh and I owe twenty five thousand twenty five thousand. every week, you're making a thousand dollars.
Every week that its red said, I would say, I will tell you how many wenches rented most weeks, I probably only three weeks- I am I and that is that year round, though madison was not just because of the summer, you could do that. I'm a guy have been looking at you you're, not more than five thousand dollars a year without large week, you're making twenty thousand our fear. Yes, ok, that's helpful because about the just, have a coronary over here, not to go gonna camper business, but anyway. I am now I shall at election year in a position to be in the camper investment air bnb business you're broke yeah That's what you already knew I'd just set up more debt debts. You guys have madison total I fine with me my husband. We have about two hundred and forty thousand. we have a business, we started and that's been doing really, while back to the start up costs, for that was. We have adopted

Need to have a place that we have the business at home because it though inconvenient right now the houses is not enough. a shade not about neighbourhood and along here- and you have heard your starch returns on the business. So do you I dont have might happen

Did you like enough in the two years on your tax returns, when you do get them done to take them, mortgage company and get a mortgage for a house yet So if you shoulda camper annually friend, of the dead and knocked out the debt and their showed up a down payment sight, o connor ingenious, the car you could be debt free. Ah, in less than a year and start talking about by the house sounds we're out now yeah pretty good. And if I were you guiding, I would just sell em excel whatever you can sell the camp or sell the car like all that stuff, you
We buy or sell both catch, but it's like just get rid of stuff, and I mean obviously the the student loan business loan. Those are still going to be around but knock those two out and yeah, and I think you guys are gonna be in a totally different position. I think it's a good just mental exercise for you guys. get your hearing around. All this stuff, that's equated to carry around debt and just getting rid of some of it and he's gonna, bring you a lot, a piecemeal canada, minimalism move and ensure the thing is you're, just entrepreneurial, and you see the shiny new jump on it yeah, that's how the cat poor thing happened and then how I could go over and do this, and I can do that, and I can do this and then all of a sudden, your life got real cluttered, exactly right. Why are we bought and we moved into it? and we were living in it for a while, and then we have three kids that the non though Edith there are over now were in the house than that that work and either, though, what most of us have a one.
year to eighteen month, plan to be one hundred percent debt free with an emergency fund in a down payment? Kosher can really good money and get real focused with a budget to do and then sell everything in sight shelves so much that the kids think their next and really yet in gear here and let's get this stuff done, rachel's exactly right that, what I would do cause. I can see what the thing is that that, with the the cluttered approach, the chaos, approach that you have used to money so far has a kind of made. You feel like you we're never going to get there and we can see the numbers where you're really going to get there very fast yeah. If you take these dramatic moves, yeah, absolutely and- and I think it's just going to it's- going to bring you guys- a level of peace and control that you just haven't had medicine I mean, but of one hundred and forty eighty ks camera in a car right. That is our mike. It's amazing, just like removing some of that. You know, and then you put your life once a mess with three kids and you guys are working you're starting to busy. I mean you have a lot of moving pieces in your life anyways, and so just
simplifying and getting stuff out. I think, is going to feel really cleansing to you guys and more ways than just the financial. I think it's really going to be helpful and and then working a plan and being intense on that plan. Seeing progress and goals you guys are really goal. Oriented, you're gonna start to feel that traction and I love don't kill it. I mean anchor, integrate those very good. You really got the potential if you just but you're gonna make some pretty dramatic ship share in the short term to get the long term goals, but I mean visuals Three years from now, you're living in a nice home with a fifteen year fit where the payments no more than a fourth year take on pay. Your business is continuing to grow and you ve got no other than that. I can breathe that in and that feels like a better life and that's not that's worth that's worth.

My husband is currently in school to be about our area graduate in ten months. We how I get free up the mortgage.
Ex ante will be getting stood alone. Hit men by way leave so when we saw how we will have about a hundred and thirty in equity after the sale. About a hundred and sixty, was wondering if it would be ok to use about forty thousand of eight hundred and thirty as a down payment on a house. But one may move. I want you to learn that as we have one sixty, there are currently paying on it and, I believe, will be a bow at one. Forty by the time you get one forty out of the house, sure you could be clear if you, if you just wait to buy a house, yes- and I would- I would be clear- the student loans, okay- that that's not what wanted to hear, but I would be a custom. I think I think that yours what's gonna happen. Ok, you're coming
school year, resetting everything in your mind, you re shutting everything in your life. All the math in your life is changing you're, going from being a student piling up debt to clearing dad and starting to have some serious money, and Do you know where he's gonna be working yet as you get that land up yet already signed a contract and he will start off at one thirty? I am currently working times time living off. it's all right now, which is more than enough, though, how much energy and ninety five and it'll be the same when you move at all likely be a little bit higher bit hiram lined up for promotion, hopefully in the fall. I think I'll be closer to one ten. So you guys are gonna, be making a quarter of a million dollars out of debt in the world and I'm saying, rent for a year law, rent for a year and pile up a huge pollack cash and then go back I think you will buy something different than you would stealing

Six and in five we moved here. Nine, ago station. I read it for two years.
Because we wanted to save up a larger down payment and two we wanted to get a lay of the land to figure out where we going to plant here edge. yeah. It is unwise to rent. Can I just tell you it gives you option for a short period of time, yet short periods are and who is on the long end, but it worked for us and like I'm saying one year here, you don't know the market better! You take your time in the purchase. You you'll make a much better purchase your brain is gonna, be in a different place. a quarter of a million that was that school and ninety so true and in a eulogy ostrog go. This is the right.
