Her and her husband have a spending addiction. The way she says “and one day you look back and you’re $550k in debt” UMMMM NO, lol that’s insane to normalize.
It reminded me of when Brian Regan the stand-up comedian jokes about when authors write one thing led to another and then all of a sudden it's some major thing
She's pretty calm and nonchalant for being in 555k of debt. This is a prime of example of why you should never watch what people have. These are professionals making good money but living way above their means. It's never about how much money you make, it's how much you save and invest.
The fact that she didn't want to get into specifics about what they've spent the money on is telling. It must be a lot of REALLY, REALLY bad decisions.
@@ebo7310 Without a doubt. She said that didn’t include her mortgage. She was very vague. She said the land was only at 100K they were trying to figure out where the other 400K+ in debt came from. Credit card debt was only 50K. So now we’re down to like debt of 350K right? Unless I’m misinterpreting this, that had to have been 350K in cash that they didn’t have right? The only thing cash is good for is gambling or drugs.
This call is the perfect example of how us Americans get into the mindset that if we have more than our neighbor, then we are living the American dream.
My grandfather looks like the poorest man on the block and drives a 1980 Chevy. He owns several apartment buildings and is worth over $20 million. When he walks into the realtors office to ask for a flyer they do not even acknowledge his presence. He does not garner any special attention yet he can afford to pay cash for a new home. Some of his tenants drive Porsches or Range Rovers and pay rent.
@@mocheen4837 I had a neighbor like that. Owned properties and drove an old Ford Falcon. Lived in the same house that looked like a dump. His grandson stole over 40k cash out of the trunk of his car. They caught him down in Florida with another woman I went to school with. My neighbors comment about the situation.. “I’m glad they didn’t find the other 100k I have stashed in the house”. 😂
It's not just comparing outselves to neighbors - it's the onslaught of brainwashing MARKETING! Or the habit of browsing through the mall every weekend.
@lmfao69420 They have so much debt they couldn't even buy beans and rice, rice and beans. When this all unfolds down the road a smell a divorce in their future. Either they tackle this monster together or the debt escalates and choke holds their marriage. Bet their adult kids live far far away to avoid the poisonous atmosphere.
income is a force multiplier for good or bad decision making. This is why 7 figure NBA athletes with no educations go broke and average joes with decent jobs can become rich
Definitely my case, I make lots of money, but have very little assets, because I spent my cash on vacations, hookers, and blow for many years. It's nice to say I lived like a rock star for a few years, but to have nothing more than a small condo at my age asset wise is kinda sad when I think about it.
@@tonyahenry4167that’s means absolutely nothing! I see comments like this all time and just because someone works in banking! Doesn’t make them a financial expert
She is nonchalantly talking about her debt in the same way that some people on HGTV talk about their house budget. "Yeah my husband chases butterflies for a living and I am a skywriting proofreader. Our budget is about 700k".
Definitely more to the story than she is saying. There is no way you just accidentally go into half a million dollars in debt. Probably an alcohol, drug, or gambling problem somewhere.
Have you known somebody who gets iPhones and Gucci bags for the family as Christmas presents? She might be that kind of people. Hobbies, vacation, land and weapons for hunting: Most people I know spent money in that kind of things
I used to work in accounting reconciling people's accounts and there was this one guy who spent $5k a month religiously on casinos. For the entire year of 2021 he just kept gambling away $5k
Don’t call if you’re not ready to disclose. If you have a shopping addiction and you don’t disclose that, any information they give is just a band-aid on top of a gushing wound.
Well this call made me feel better about my debt free life. Holy moly. I have a payed off house. Zero debt. Fully funded emergency fund. Retirements. And I only make 80k with my wife. Just because you make alot doesn't mean you know how to use that money wisely. Bankers are terrible with money.
Nope, staying debt free is a skill & is why a lot of lotto winners end up right back where they started or worse off. No handouts for people who don’t know how to manage their money.
@hugodaniel8975 I’d never do that for two reasons. One, it’s my money and I earned it by working and being responsible with it. Two, it does nothing to change the behavior of people who get into massive debt in the first place; feeling some pain elicits change
They’re in their 50s?! This made my jaw drop. I thought early 30s. I wonder if a lot of their debt is from spoiling their kids and trying to keep up with the Joneses? Twenty plus years of living like that could be why they’re over half a million in debt and barely have any equity on their home.
The amount of irresponsibility I am hearing in this call is just insane. She knew a long time ago how bad this stuff is and didn't do much (the banker mentality could have been a problem here). Saying "yes" to a bad decision also makes you part of it. Her husband could be a major offender, but I will give her additional points as she has the knowledge and the tools to avoid the whole situation happening. I kind of feel she is trying to throw the husband under the bus to hide her responsibility in all of this (SHE IS THE BANKER)
That's how it is for many things in life. A lot of people know they should be working out, eating better, studying for exams, and so on, but lack either discipline or motivation. We need to stop thinking there is some magic recipe somewhere, not unless we have actually taken ACTION on the knowledge we already have. By the way discipline is better than motivation.
Don’t go broke trying to look rich. You have to fix the spending problem, bankruptcy won’t solve it, winning the lottery won’t solve it. You must fix the relationship with money
I don’t understand how Americans spend something they don’t have. I came from Mexico and I was able to pay for my daughter’s education. At 57 I’m debt free❤
This is what happens when you grow up with nothing and work your way out of poverty to a good salary. Along the way you inflate your lifestyle. Along the way you help your parents and family. Along the way you decide that your kids are going to help you. Along the way you feel entitled to everything you see others with and so you get it. I was on that path for a very short period of time before I realized It was on a road to ruin.
I hear you there's an insight needed here that I don't think these guys have yet, Ramsey would have broken this situation down on a deep psychological level
Some of it probably went to cosmetic surgery or something like that. She didn’t fool me with wanting her husband to be the largest part of the problem.
This is the problem with society now. People think they can run up all sorts of debt and when it’s to much, file bankruptcy. Then after a few years they will be right back in the same spot. Like bankruptcy is a “get out of jail free” card. Absolutely ridiculous.
I think it’s because it’s people want to appear cool like a celebrity so go around spending, honestly start talking about keeping your money to a bunch of people and they look at you like you are a loser, it must be what 95% of people do
The thing is, they wouldn't be able to file Chapter 7, which is the one where you're absolved of the debt's, as they'd have to pay the entire fee up front, which would cost thousand's. They also have too much income, and you can never file bankruptcy on any student loan debt. They would have to file Chapter 13, which requires you to have your paycheck(s) garnished, by the court, to pay the monthly bankruptcy costs, the debt, and the court appoint's a Trustee to oversee the disbursement of funds to creditor's. They'd also have to meet the repayment plan required in the bankruptcy code's, which is under federal law, not state. So, if they qualified (I doubt they would), they'd end up with it showing on their credit report for 10 years (it would be hard to find any place that would rent to them, except a slum lord), and they'd be left with a lot less money to live on, along with having to still pay the student loan's. If she actually work's in a bank, as she stated, she should know this. I think this entire call is a bunch of BS.
The thing that most people forget is to be grateful. Sometimes we forgot how grateful our life is, we keep focusing on things that not necessary in life, impressing people for nothing. I've had a situation when I was left with 80$ in my bank account, I didn't have any debt, I'm living as frugal as I can, eating only cereal in the morning, skipping lunch, and eating a $3 burger for dinner. So, be grateful people, lesson learned.
I can’t help but wonder if she can’t make the payments because the interest has built up to the point where it’s multiplied the original debt beyond their ability to pay.
And actually you made me think that maybe a lot of this debt is actually interest, e.g. is it half of it or what? Would be interesting to know how much is interest
She actually taught Financial Peace???? Does Ramsey let anyone teach it these days???? Regardless, I think her and her husband both *know* what they need to do, they just don't want to do it, and I doubt a free gift of FP will convince them to just do what they need to do.
One time one of those accredited Ramsey financial advisors called and also couldn’t solve a simple financial issue of his. Surprised they aired that, it’s a bad outlook on the business.
Yea she was calm because she knew what was happening and she’s accepted it. She knows what to do but she wants an east fix hoping to get an easy answer on this show.
Let me hazard a guess, the reason she is adamant about not filing bankruptcy is because she used her influence at the bank to obtain those $150k in personal loans and if she defaults, there are going to be some folks, including her, with their behinds in the blender. PS: And Baloney, enough with the "I can't breath, I'm skeered" schtick. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard at this point.
She is the type that needs new pillows and furniture for all of the seasons of the year, all of the snacks in specialized containers that cost half of the kitchen and $50 of Starbucks a day.
😂😂 I always wondered about those people that can “afford” everything. I have seen people who bought houses in my neighborhood and fully furnished every room perfectly and still buy Starbucks everyday😮
@@Elizabeth-uj8vn Yes, you were smart to wonder! You might be interested in the book " The Millionaire Next Door". It was the original study on Millionaires in America and showed that most millionaires do not live like we imagine or how the marketing on TV/online portrays them. It is a great book, & was very eye-opening for me. Take care!
They literally loaned themselves a great run and now won’t pay it back. They sound like awful people. She just laughed about the loans. Sounds like gambling debts to me.
I bought a washer because mine broke and it'll be down to 275.00 balance next week. I was taught you only use your credit card for emergencies. Live within your means comes to mind. I'm glad I don't buy unless I need something and I don't have these money problems.
Her nonchalant attitude says that they will be drowning in debt until the day they die. With that massive debt number, she should be horrified and she’s just not.
This situation is not serious enough to her. It’s become so out of control that it’s a joke and laughable. Husband thinks bankruptcy will fix it all. These two need a hard reality check and Dave needed to be on this one.
it just her husband is the only thing holding them back from being debt free before their 60's. That's why it is so important that before you marry, you clearly lay out financial expectations with your partner, and how you expect to spend and live to stay out of debt!
@@queen.kristal8395stop it! I’m sure he didn’t run that debt up by himself, so divorcing him solves what exactly? You still would be bad at sending money on your own
@@reese85 well I say that because he does not want to change their marriage is doomed that’s why I would rather of they separate if finances aren’t on the same page it’s not going to work
@@queen.kristal8395I disagree with you just because it's hard doesn't mean you need to run. Most men are stubborn on finances it takes a little bit before they see the light. At least it did for me. And shame on you for the 1st decision you made was to run.
Unfortunately this show highlights just how serious the debt problem in America is and how many lives will be wiped out and destroyed financial if we ever have another serious financial crisis, or inflation gets even more out of control. What bothers me most is that these are ADULTS making such juvenile mistakes, but again, it's partly due to our buy and spend culture where saving money is not practiced seriously.
She will have a difficult time getting a new job at a different bank if she has a bankruptcy on her background. Financial institutions really frown upon blemishes like that.
George wasn't paying attention, he kept harping on financial peace university, but she said she already did it because she previously taught it. She knows what to do to get out of debt, she just needs to actually do it and get her husband on board.
lol Id love to have enough money in order to get into 500K debt, us blue collar folk cant fathom that kind of money misplacement... 🤣 When I was in debt 10K it felt like I would NEVER pay it off...
I am always shocked when people who deal and work with money or even numbers on a daily basis dig themselves this deep in debt.....I am like how??...you show know better! Disclaimer: Assuming you are good at your job BTW....
I have a friend who was in banking for the better part of a decade and he's the most in-debt person I know... but why is that surprising, Bankers are the ones that sell everyone else the debt so why shouldn't they believe what they're selling?
I'm an accountant and many of my coworkers are deeply in debt as well. There are some who are more debt averse and invest big chunks of their income, but most are adamant about using the sophisticated tools of the financial world to their "advantage".
$555k personal debt, $400k left on the mortgage, in their 50's.
That's terrifying.
Yup roughly a million dollars in debt.. Hard to believe
I can't even begin to imagine what that must feel like. Crazy, over the top debt. No thanks.
I’m gonna lose sleep over it and it ain’t even my debt.😅
Might as well keep on racking it up!!

The fact that she and her husband were apparently able to rack up half a million dollars in stupid debt with their eyes closed is astounding to me.
but that's how it is, it's normal for a lot of people especially ones that the banks see have such a large shovel.

Why bankers are dishonest crooks.
They should vet these people who work in these positions. She is a big liability for a financial organization.
Live by the bank, die by the bank

I bet they can’t sell all the stuff they bought because it was vacations and eating out and concerts, not tangible things.

I make 30k work at fast food and no debt. I feel a lot richer than these folks who makes 200k and in debts
When you can’t and won’t explain what and how your not ready.
I hate calls like this when Dave isn't around. I'm halfway through this call and they still haven't asked her how much money she makes.
They just said they have a household income of 200k on the call?
@@Charlay_Charlay it took them awhile to get to that is what he’s saying
@@reese85 they literally asked in the first, two minutes and that was probably because of the sheer shock and magnitude of her debt situation...
@@truckercowboyed2638 you’re right! I didn’t catch that myself at 1st
I hear you there's an insight needed here that I don't think these guys have yet, Ramsey would have broken this situation down on a deep psychological level
This total made me feel so much better about my debt. Whew!! I almost fell off my chair when she said they are in their 50’s….
I’m hyperventilating while listening to this call. This woman is too calm, she’s drowning in debt!
He said Camry people at 4:55. Proud owner of a Corolla LE here :)
Sounds like there’s gotta be a shopping or gambling addiction or something, surprised Dr. Baloney didn’t ask about that.
Exactly. Sorry but where else could a half a million gone? She said not nice cars and owes $400k on house.
Yeah I thought it seemed a little fishy when she wouldn't give specifics about where the money went.
Some of it probably went to cosmetic surgery or something like that. She didn’t fool me with wanting her husband to be the largest part of the problem.
I get the feeling that she is responsible for most of this debt.
True and that's probably why he won't say yes . Problem is they are married and now it's both of there problems
That's the feeling I
I got too.
Ding ding ding!
Women make 85% or all the decisions in a household, including financial. The husband checked out cuz she put them in that position.
Don’t get married folks
@@corruptsociety9146 correct I learned that the hard way.
This is the problem with society now. People think they can run up all sorts of debt and when it’s to much, file bankruptcy. Then after a few years they will be right back in the same spot. Like bankruptcy is a “get out of jail free” card. Absolutely ridiculous.
I think it’s because it’s people want to appear cool like a celebrity so go around spending, honestly start talking about keeping your money to a bunch of people and they look at you like you are a loser, it must be what 95% of people do
The thing is, they wouldn't be able to file Chapter 7, which is the one where you're absolved of the debt's, as they'd have to pay the entire fee up front, which would cost thousand's. They also have too much income, and you can never file bankruptcy on any student loan debt. They would have to file Chapter 13, which requires you to have your paycheck(s) garnished, by the court, to pay the monthly bankruptcy costs, the debt, and the court appoint's a Trustee to oversee the disbursement of funds to creditor's. They'd also have to meet the repayment plan required in the bankruptcy code's, which is under federal law, not state. So, if they qualified (I doubt they would), they'd end up with it showing on their credit report for 10 years (it would be hard to find any place that would rent to them, except a slum lord), and they'd be left with a lot less money to live on, along with having to still pay the student loan's. If she actually work's in a bank, as she stated, she should know this. I think this entire call is a bunch of BS.
The show John Oliver talk about that issue and it a lot more dangerous than people think
There probably isn’t something new for them to learn, they just need to have the discipline to implement it
Yes, there is STILL something for them to learn and that is FRUGALITY!!!!
Debtors prison sounds like A REALLY good idea for a woman like this! She is so flippant and so uncaring about her situation.
She cared enough to call in. The husband is a huge problem as well.
@@gonzaga45377 lol it really isn't that hard. Stop spending money.
The first thing I thought about.
@@gonzaga45377 They both are clueless and don't care.
She called in
She’s in banking 😮. I need to avoid that bank.
The thing that most people forget is to be grateful. Sometimes we forgot how grateful our life is, we keep focusing on things that not necessary in life, impressing people for nothing.
I've had a situation when I was left with 80$ in my bank account, I didn't have any debt, I'm living as frugal as I can, eating only cereal in the morning, skipping lunch, and eating a $3 burger for dinner. So, be grateful people, lesson learned.
To those of you saying it's bad for her to be so calm; panicking never helps anyone or anything
Correct.
I dunno, I get pretty focused and productive when I'm panicking over something serious.
Its not really panicking but I have a sense of urgency and worry with $4k in debt
@@alanj9978 Contrary to popular belief, "urgency" and "panic" aren't the same thing
In this fairly unique situation, divorce might indeed be cheaper than counseling 😂
Oh man, calls like this make me want to cry and also make me feel so glad we are down to our mortgage 😢
Keep working on it. It's a GREAT feeling.
When in doubt blame the husband. She's in banking of all things.
Yea I smell a good ole divorce card about to be played
I can’t help but wonder if she can’t make the payments because the interest has built up to the point where it’s multiplied the original debt beyond their ability to pay.
And actually you made me think that maybe a lot of this debt is actually interest, e.g. is it half of it or what? Would be interesting to know how much is interest
Should be a one year prison sentence for people that carelessly file for bankruptcy
She actually taught Financial Peace???? Does Ramsey let anyone teach it these days????
Regardless, I think her and her husband both *know* what they need to do, they just don't want to do it, and I doubt a free gift of FP will convince them to just do what they need to do.
Seriously...thought the teachers were like audited some....can't imagine what horrible advice she was giving.
Why would you even teach the class if you're not bought in to the debt-free lifestyle that it's based on? Seems very hypocritical.
One time one of those accredited Ramsey financial advisors called and also couldn’t solve a simple financial issue of his. Surprised they aired that, it’s a bad outlook on the business.
@@markg999 She was probably giving good advice. They just weren't following it themselves.
@@MichaelAnderson-wk1no yeah it’s like going to a weight loss trainer that is over weight and trying to learn to lose weight!! Smh 🤦🏻♂️
They need to go and rent a studio apartment and sell everything they can including the house
NO This crazy lady wants too get off easy!
A BANKER is upside down in debt and CANNOT make minimum payments. Despite having a high income. This is disgusting. 🤮.
Her being in banking means absolutely nothing and $200k isn’t a high salary! It’s just very decent money
@@reese85 it’s poor financial management that’s an excuse.
Wow I’ve been stressed with the 90k of debt we have left, I can’t even imagine 550k 😮
Caller: 'We just woke up one day and we owed $555K....I don't know what happened'
Scratches head and looks around in confusion 😂
“…And then this brick wall just came OUTTA NOWHERE…”
She was so cool and calm on it, that’s amazing. Most of us will have cold sweats
Yea she was calm because she knew what was happening and she’s accepted it. She knows what to do but she wants an east fix hoping to get an easy answer on this show.
Let me hazard a guess, the reason she is adamant about not filing bankruptcy is because she used her influence at the bank to obtain those $150k in personal loans and if she defaults, there are going to be some folks, including her, with their behinds in the blender.
PS:
And Baloney, enough with the "I can't breath, I'm skeered" schtick. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard at this point.
Yes. He ruins it.
That is a remarkable observation
Ramsey wants a psychologist on the panel. But they should tell him he is not obligated to speak in every call.
Omg yes I cannot stand when Maloney does that! 😂 he doesn’t know what else to say so that’s his copy and paste response
Agreed! They’re obviously not scared…more nonchalant than anything
Bankruptcy is NOT going to be much of a help to these people. It’s not going to be the cheap option.
She is the type that needs new pillows and furniture for all of the seasons of the year, all of the snacks in specialized containers that cost half of the kitchen and $50 of Starbucks a day.
😂😂 I always wondered about those people that can “afford” everything. I have seen people who bought houses in my neighborhood and fully furnished every room perfectly and still buy Starbucks everyday😮
LMBO 😂😂
@@Elizabeth-uj8vn Yes, you were smart to wonder! You might be interested in the book " The Millionaire Next Door". It was the original study on Millionaires in America and showed that most millionaires do not live like we imagine or how the marketing on TV/online portrays them. It is a great book, & was very eye-opening for me. Take care!
Live laugh love probably sends kids to a private school
She definitely has "Live, Laugh, Love" signs all over the house
There's something seriously wrong if someone used to TEACH FPU and is half a million dollars in debt. WHAT?!
I don't understand how you can legally even get to this point.
She’s a “Banker” 😂
The fact that she refuses to get into specifics...'what did you buy'...ahhhh just a whole bunch of stuff - lawd - smh - and why did she even call
They literally loaned themselves a great run and now won’t pay it back. They sound like awful people. She just laughed about the loans. Sounds like gambling debts to me.
This kind of person is definitely the kind I thought was living the life and I wish I had what they had. Thank God I've come to my senses
This show is teaching me so much about money and what not to do
There's a whole lot more going on than this half million of debt I hope she gets the help she truly needs....
She is not being straight forward.
If she files for bankruptcy, she WILL lose her job in banking. PERIOD.
I agree!!
Dang, whenever I watch these clips, sometimes I just cringe at how brutally honest they are 😂😂😂
I bought a washer because mine broke and it'll be down to 275.00 balance next week. I was taught you only use your credit card for emergencies. Live within your means comes to mind. I'm glad I don't buy unless I need something and I don't have these money problems.
Her nonchalant attitude says that they will be drowning in debt until the day they die. With that massive debt number, she should be horrified and she’s just not.
This situation is not serious enough to her. It’s become so out of control that it’s a joke and laughable.
Husband thinks bankruptcy will fix it all. These two need a hard reality check and Dave needed to be on this one.
Dude she’s calling and asking for
Help. Better than ignoring it! Gotta start somewhere
At this point she’s basically committing fraud. Should be in jail.
And she is a banker....insanity
YES!
it just her husband is the only thing holding them back from being debt free before their 60's. That's why it is so important that before you marry, you clearly lay out financial expectations with your partner, and how you expect to spend and live to stay out of debt!
If it was me I would divorce him after selling everything he isn’t a leader and just bringing her down
@@queen.kristal8395stop it! I’m sure he didn’t run that debt up by himself, so divorcing him solves what exactly? You still would be bad at sending money on your own
@@reese85 well I say that because he does not want to change their marriage is doomed that’s why I would rather of they separate if finances aren’t on the same page it’s not going to work
@@queen.kristal8395I disagree with you just because it's hard doesn't mean you need to run. Most men are stubborn on finances it takes a little bit before they see the light. At least it did for me. And shame on you for the 1st decision you made was to run.
I’m probably because it’s her debt mostly
Unfortunately this show highlights just how serious the debt problem in America is and how many lives will be wiped out and destroyed financial if we ever have another serious financial crisis, or inflation gets even more out of control. What bothers me most is that these are ADULTS making such juvenile mistakes, but again, it's partly due to our buy and spend culture where saving money is not practiced seriously.
She will have a difficult time getting a new job at a different bank if she has a bankruptcy on her background. Financial institutions really frown upon blemishes like that.
She can go be a truck driver
@@allthingznatural5592 in her 50’s?????
GOOD!
Talk about living beyond your means. The arrogance necessary to accumulate this much debt is awesome.
When you think you’ve heard it all but now you really have heard it all
George wasn't paying attention, he kept harping on financial peace university, but she said she already did it because she previously taught it. She knows what to do to get out of debt, she just needs to actually do it and get her husband on board.
They need a counselor but most likely a lawyer! 😳
She speaks so casual about it. I really wish Dave took this call, he would've had a field day with it
lol Id love to have enough money in order to get into 500K debt, us blue collar folk cant fathom that kind of money misplacement... 🤣 When I was in debt 10K it felt like I would NEVER pay it off...
THIS LADY IS LAUGHING BECAUSE SHE IS TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT
I am always shocked when people who deal and work with money or even numbers on a daily basis dig themselves this deep in debt.....I am like how??...you show know better! Disclaimer: Assuming you are good at your job BTW....
I have a friend who was in banking for the better part of a decade and he's the most in-debt person I know... but why is that surprising, Bankers are the ones that sell everyone else the debt so why shouldn't they believe what they're selling?
I'm an accountant and many of my coworkers are deeply in debt as well. There are some who are more debt averse and invest big chunks of their income, but most are adamant about using the sophisticated tools of the financial world to their "advantage".
It’s maddening that a couple could be this far into debt then they just want to file bankruptcy and stiff the creditors.
