Stop Excusing Debt as a Dream
from The Ramsey Show · host Ramsey Network
🎟️ The Ramsey Show Live Tour: Tell us where we should go next! Dave Ramsey and Dr. John Delony answer your questions and discuss: "My wife and I aren't on the same page financially. At what point should I open a separate bank account that I can manage?" "I feel insecure only having $1,000 in my emergency fund while I'm in Baby Step 1..." "My husband hid credit card debt from me again. How do I protect myself from his out-of-control spending?" "Was taking out a $100,000 loan to buy cattle a bad idea?" "What should I do with my stock that has grown to $1.8 million?" "Should we accept a $100,000 gift from my parents?" "What's the best way to invest?" "I'll be graduating med school with over $200,000 of student loan debt. How do I pay them off while investing in a Roth?" "Is this trend of people selling their houses for RVs healthy?" "How do I repair my marriage and get out of debt?" "Should I confront my mother about using my 529 to pay for an exchange student's college instead of my tuition?"
