I Why is america this? Is the ramsay show broadcasting from the pods moving in storage studios here in nashville tennessee? This is where america hangs out to have a conversation about your money, your life, your relationships, your mental health, your work, all whatever is going on in your life, we're here for you triple eight, eight to five five, Do five, I'm john d lonely joined here by my good friend george camel and were taken your call. the toll free call money.
If anything, you got going on a triple eight, eight to five five, two to five: it's got jessica in huntsville alabama. What's up jessica, hey Georgia enjoyed also excited to talk to you guys. Are you calling to ask us who we think is going to win this weekend between alabama and uti? It's going to probably youtube go ahead. We already know who's going to win. Actually, oh okay, I see what we're doing here: On top of all? What's girl a ball back in sport? jessica, get hot. Let's make you really gets me. George has not you're talking about literally, I was, I believe, John knows that that so cool. He knows when the big games happening in belarus. What's a better effort at the sight of land corridor come now. Yes, this is when John coaches me up, and you told me to change oil on my tesla. Oh yeah, we ve done about the idea of having a show where I teach george, how to do things that most men already know how to do an ash, and I shall john how to get passes in securities
which are strong to quite strong. Yes, that that is going to be a huge, huge success. How can we actually be helpful today, jessica, yeah speaking of trexler? I'd, like you guys, just settle a marital discussion, yes and we weren't we're gonna, make two hundred thousand dollars the here and now nobody more next year or obeyed, two, and we have two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in london, are you a doctor? I know we're both master, not your trained nurses. So, and then we have our car there, both paid off were I will be eighty to ninety, both co no one is a tougher batch, should we allow our cars ok so mean on a financial like on paper there,
nothing wrong with you! Guys having ninety thousand dollars worth of cars when you make two hundred and is paid for and so selling one of these cars doesn't free up When a will accelerate your debt free journey, but there's no reason you guys can't be debt free within two or three years completely. Even this level of debt, so the question is that if you want to sell one cause, you like, we don't really need we don't love this car. Obviously you're going to sell the non tesla vehicle I met jessica listed. I know that not have probably will like. Why are you calling right now? I know, listen as somebody who's sitting next to george and I have a regular self esteem. I would sell both of these cars This is me out, so you don t like that I'd cell both of the cars I would by the two, ten thousand dollar cars, and I take the sixty to seventy thousand dollars and knock this debt out. Yet too much money to be this broke. The next three years is no reason to do it and you are faking
pseudo fantasy happiness by driving towards, every day in day out by tesla tomorrow. If I get a one, a love, em le monde literally jealous of georgia's car no kidding, but I am not there yet. and so I'm not gonna live in a fantasy world whilst or I'm gonna drive a seventy. Five thousand dollar car. When I saw the a mortgage- and it's not gonna, do it, and so I would sell both the cars and by two career as and let that be, the gas jet engine fuel that you need to get yourselves at a dead. That's it george, would I do that yet well, and I think that to johns point on paper, we're not gonna, yellow june, say: oh, my god, it's ridiculous! I just think It's gonna be a lot harder to pay off tuner twenty five thousand dollars and debt in two years, even making two hundred. If there is not some level of sacrifice yet We don't talk about us enough, George Jessica,
it's hard, there's an old adage and boxing. which is its hard on. You ve had your big payday when you're multi multi multi millionaire. It's really hard to get up at five, am and go for a run and jump rope and go to the gym and get punched in the face because you have a million dollars in your bank, account It is very hard to get going, Intense and pay off two hundred thousand dollars with the debt when your cruising tesla just is it really easy when you're driving in my o six tundra, that I love with all my heart and she is I'm duct tape. Other at this point It's really easy for me to get that mortgage paid off right to to grind and grind and grind, because I'm tired of driving the same yeah I get it back. Another reason I think thousand dollar emergency funding is so important because dimension and that you're working well yet like a little progress down to a thousand dollars in the emergency fund. Are you really doing this.
we know how much money have you guys we have, thousand dollars. Probably three times you are monthly budget were biweekly paid. So I keep my money for the next smiles and then pulled over and there's probably about two to three thousand hey? Are you guys here? I can have these now on us find he's doing any investing, rhino, ok, cool well. That should help. I mean making two hundred. The question is: how much of that can we throw the debt and it can sell one or both cars. How much faster is going to speed up the process, how many paychecks of work tales off warned that cover d. these cars, and so when you put it on paper Like that, it changes the conversation with with your husband when you go home This is seven months of boston or tails and weaken propel our job forward by selling these and theirs.
because, on the other side will always sell more cars, and we will continue to have an amazing income with no debt. George- and I talked about that on another show the other day, the more I'm around people who have signal. Get wealth, the more I realized they are spending their money on the single most precious resource on the planet in its time. So if you just do a simple time, calculation, what's gonna take how many months would it take us to pay off ninety thousand dollars a year, Those cars are worth nothing and then you look little kids. I hear the background and you say you know why Where will it cash out another year of your life living like this paycheck to paycheck pay paying off our debts? because we really love or fancy cars it, it's a no brainer and you get it. Story to tell your kids like we used to do he's fancy cars and we sold them so that we could become debt. Free is right, like mom, just passed a curious exactly no then further, if
yet. You have really well played your ear your time is not worth the car and in may. no mistakes? People are going to on the youtubes going to be like he's and sale you're, not nuts, I'm saying I'd buy tesla tomorrow. I'd buy struck tomorrow? I just have different calls in my goals, involve sleeping really well at night and not bringing about women, we're gonna food and not worried about the next fill in the blue. Right I'd rather not worry about those things, I'd rather by my time, Also tassels are going for insane amounts of money right now so good time to sell. You probably gonna, make more than you your purchase form guessing I got the same problem and I regard make a lot of three. Sweden has just go about a two thousand and eighteen.
Can't tell the difference between the two thousand and twenty to mother tee. My friend wrote to hear their team gangster.

In the first place you sent everybody choose guilt over, resent choose it every time, she'd tweet that that's good! I didn't come up with it, so never mind hey. This is the ramsey show tripp lite? Eighty five, five, two, two five we'll be right back the
aaa, takes you five bob. Did you find this? Is the ramsay show? It's got you george temple florida was up george, French, taking the call you gotta, woodsman, pigeon, gonna, think you're going. if I'm on babies are two or three years? My situation, I have a house that I owe three hundred and seventy thousand on toward about, many fine and you're just me out by six months ago are aware, would build. Ashley are allowed to interfere with six hundred dollars for the mob, so investing in solar panels are so The panel loan is total, a hundred thousand with a three hundred and Why do six dollars a month on the whole
no pay much My question is: should I treat the solar panel payment? That was just kind of this would have, if would normally pay the utility company every month and not really consider at a dead end. focused more on putting off the house early boards. When I consider the solar panel payment, which again we'll hundred thousand on a consumer gap and trotted to off as quickly as possible. It's absolutely consumer debt. no six way have? Doesn't it weighs about it, and I did that wrong there? You know what I mean is not a debt I would choose. The word now. Listen. I've have a. I live out here in the woods and tennessee. I have a I've had an engineer come out and draw me out where the solar panels would be what they will cost, how they'll be installed. It's on my on my purchase list, I'm a fan of 'em, okay and but I think its honest at this point in the solar panel world,
to say used the word. Investment is a way you're trying to lessen the pain of a hundred thousand dollar consumer debt you just took on became so trade is a hundred thousand bucks. Yes, could be saving on your letter bill great. To look at his investment is not the right way to do it. I paid off as soon as possible before paying off mortgage, yes absent. Let me ask you one more question here. What is Interest on that loan? solar panel then point nine. Nine am crow I hope our mortgage is four point three, seven five, so my thought was well. If I pay the house, After you start throwing them out of the solar panels, but but what happens if you have a paid for house- and you owe seventy eight thousand dollars on your solar panels and you gotta, sell your house. What we saw how to loot? I also solar alone with now.
Other chalybeate alabama proceeds upside house always there when they sold. You want a hundred thousand dollars solar alone. What would you do that you lose? It was mine, like I said, our electric bill with six hundred dollars in one month and ox. You know we have all the installation, everything we had an energy audit. Everything was wage. Just lemme lemme the break this down for you from a break even analysis standpoint. So. trip bills high. You know it's obviously summer time, but now are heading in the winter. So what would you say? The average is that you average it out. course of a year. What would your bilby per month. Well, we ve been allowed for six months in the average has been over five hundred dollars. Ok, We haven't had a winter. There, though it's gonna go there. The answer is yes, the towards, let's say the average as four hundred bucks a month over the course of the year, That's forty eight hundred dollars a year.
you, took out a hundred thousand dollar alone with interest, let's just say a hundred thousand for easy numbers divide that by the forty eight hundred dollar you save a year, it's gonna, take you twenty one years to break even on this purchase Let game. Is it worth saving the five huh? six hundred dollars a month if it's gonna take twenty one year. How old are you, george you're gonna, be fifty six years old by the time this was a good purchase. and that's right about the time you'll be replacing the solar panels, four legs. If you still live there, the chances are your problem in a move in the next decade or so right. People move all the time. whose body are forever home there is deserving of animals and the other thing the house did not increase in value by a hundred thousand dollars. Did it.
Yeah, I was rhetorical, say illicit drug dont forget man. George drives attack. sir I've got solar panels mike you we're all about it. We just wages, want to be honest about what we were taught. I'm not I'm not trying to beat you up over this. I just I know it's easy to justify these things as you're. Looking at the electric bill, when you're angry going- oh my it's six hundred dollars a month I'll do anything to not pay this and by anything I mean go a hundred thousand dollars into debt to rid myself of this pain. So all to say, get rid of this data as soon as possible. There is no easy way to do it. It's on the house. Now we can't just. I wish he is the thirty day return window. He solar panels I'll be amazing no I'm sorry! I ones and I'm sorry, you gotta pay the price man, but just pay it off. Your consumer dead then attacked the house.

If you don't care about promoter, satisfaction, In the meantime, old Lawyer has resurfaced and that hey let them were so. Finally, what you back there, hesitant and they've offered more money, and nine can he and they were trying to decide what is the wisest waits for our family?
I was. Business is closed. Businesses open all that if day, came to me tomorrow and said: hey, we are having money problems, we're gonna have to let you go. and he came and did it it with integrity. I'll be upset, I be sad about granted in those was so bad, babo bar and then, if you can, back a year later in said, hate the higher her you for a new venture behind the doors. He is poor to be himself a person of integrity, and I know he cares about me and my family in an obese. Happened in between that and I'm ok with it. So much It is not like what happened. Why did they have to close? It is how was interpersonal relationships that they treat were the honest with you. The treaty with dignity, business happened, fine, did they too you honestly and with integrity during that transition.
They did not. However, there has been a leadership change so when they found out that we were potentially looking, they came back and they said listen. We have made a mistake. We have egg on our faith, we accept responsibility, you know is what we offering that has been guided. The part of the changes they are offering an increase in the clinic salary, but the hospital salary would decrease by essentially that same amount, but we gaining last commute gaining an opportunity for growth that at the expense of heat not have a non can be currently and he would absolutely not negotiate that non competed. It's sure we're gonna have to ya. You can have to figure out what's right for your family when it comes to those type of thing, what I

So sounds like it's a good deal and yes, it's going to come with some with some sticky points to it, but that's what I would do trust your gut on that we'll be right back the the the the the
today, scripture the day is proverbs fifteen one. The gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh words stirs up anger. The great viktor Frankl says the one Thank you. Take away for me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me that I link is the single most important message in the world. Today there is no money, and I would consider a life changing quote. Transformational. You choose who hurt you, though, One thing you can't take away for me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. That makes you invincible It literally is a superpower. The ability be calm and somebody else's angry in your presence, the ability to walk away and sam worth more than this, the ability to say I want to be in relationship with you, but iris, used to be belittled like this, I refuse to work at a place. It treats me like this. I'm gonna pursue interruption, he's the one. thing you can't take away from me. You take them.
I believe that you can do it. My life, you can take my family, you do everything you cannot take from me. I choose to respond to what you do to me: powerful, powerful words from the great viktor frankl love it alright? Let's got you jessica in Cincinnati ohio, its agenda there. So much for taking my call absolute mon iron curtain, on baby step q and am in the process of taking care of them pretty decently, a large consumer debt that I had a crude while I struggled with them depression in the last couple of years. but my issue that was making some of the necessary sacrifices, but I've had to make I've gotten a lot of flak from some friends and we first saying no to going out and then no offered. hey for me just so I do get out, though how do I start to assert those boundaries? Couldn't makes me really uncomfortable and they offer to pay yeah, you two two ways forward: guy number one coming
out of a depression, a depressive season and getting well. You have it that that's it agreement with your body that we're gonna feel this discomfort and we're going head into it not away from it. Ok, so the saying no saying I can't make it and having somebody say: I want you here so bags. We like you, that all his grab your the cost of your meal in that, Shame that discomfort that I'm not worth that are not enough. There does pitying me. Those are feelings that we are going to for the first time feel em actually we may write em down. We may look in demand evidence from am I are they really asking me to come out and pay for my milk as they pity me? Are they really just feel sorry for me or my their friend, and they see that their friend like so what you'd, I'm gonna grab your meal at much further Have you hang out than have twenty dollars burning, a hole in my wallet it so the first thing is, you can have to begin to feel those feelings discomfort, that's the key to getting healthy, ok, walking through little.
Ninety stepped through those feelings. The second thing is: you're. Gonna have to make peace with missing. Things sometimes and not being so. Pride You skip out on friendship just because you don't want to have their help, see. What I'm saying here again I think it's worth going out. Sometimes let them grab your food for you. by the way when, when I had a friend struggling deeply with depression. Yoda felt the time, completely helpless and able to grab dinner was like something I could do. So, even if you don't like the idea of somebody paying for your dinner grabbing, your movie ticket, think of it as a gift to your friend I now never letting them help me your domain, because it gives them something to do because they love you, and I want to be a part of your recovery. you, they don't know how to do it. Do not doubt the training of the professional whatever they can give you twenty buxton to grab some fajitas at some nachos yoda mean
The ideal and further friendships- I think that makes a lot of sense, but I do, from a family of lake. We give you and then we use it against. You heard her. Yes, How do I set it? Ok, so exactly I want you to feel at that. Put this in your back pocket the things we to keep ourselves safe and alive and we were younger because the things that destroy the relationships are relationships as adults. So as a kid, you knew that extra ice cream is gonna come with some garbage attached. But you knew and dad called and said you can borrow one hundred bucks for fill in the blank that was going to come with some heavy heavy costs. and so you learn to shut that down. You learn to say no I'll did is by myself. I'm gonna be alone ranger to the rest of my life, and then your body said we can't live like this. That's depression. And now practicing relationships moving forward is,
on learning the things it kept you alive when you were a kid are now the things are hurting you. So we're going to practise letting george by me dinner. Because I know george isn't gonna it. You know if george proofs overtime, that he is just using me or he expects something in return cool. I learn something about my friendship with george. I learn something about george. So on quit rights, I'm not going to over moralize it I'm not going to beat myself up, I'm not going to feel shame over it. I learned something about george. He didn't tell me the truth, cool I'm just not Take food from him next time, I'm not going! Let him from a concert ticket next time? Awesome sure that makes sense yeah. It makes a lot of them here. I feel like I'm, not the only one that struggles with that. Do you, because you do everyone does yeah everyone. Does we at georgia- and I were just talking about this off air and that it's hard to
take something from somebody when we all have that friend, whose, like last year, I gave you for olive twenty cents wendy's- and you owe me for cash you know.
