      Idk....they did advise she would have no debt after buying a 600k house (cough.....taxes....cough insurance) and didn't run a calculation on how much opportunity cost she is losing in interest on 1.6m vs the payment on the home. There are huge holes in the advice that I'm thinking the CPA may have looked at.
      Id probably go back to the CPA and ask for a more detailed explanation than determine if im okay with what I'm giving up. Not every cpa gets a commission so it's possible there's no financial benefit for this advisor so its not a fair argument....taking a 60 second evaluation to make a 600k decision seems the worst advice of all.

He was around when we didnt have a ptsd diagnosis yet, and he teaches a shift from soley cognitive understanding of trauma to one more based in the nervous system.

He's still got time to decide if he wants to get married to her....he's pausing and asking for help....he hasn't messed up. He's got a good head at this point, attempting to make the best decision going forward for his child. It's irritating for people to comment that someone should've done something different, when they're well past that point. Help him to go forward, not chastise him.

    Jade and Rachel are apparently unaware that students in actual medical school are pretty much studying every waking moment. They surely do not have time "on the weekends and at night" to be working in order to bring in an additional $1,000 per month! It's rather amazing that she has made it through the second year of med school with only $23,000 of loans so far! If truly she is near the end of medical school and has such a low amount of debt, she should not be worried at this point. Finish med school and then use every waking moment to study for the boards to get certified so she can actually practice! She thinks she's only going to make $50,000 a year after med school? Something doesn't add up. Either she isn't in real med school planning to be a physician OR she would make a great deal more. And certainly going on for a specialization in surgery would be much more costly.

    • @RS-xq4hf
      @RS-xq4hf 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Definitely. I worked weekends in pharmacy school and that was fine, but when I tried to pick up extra shifts it simply didn’t leave enough time to study. They make you live and breathe school and studying! The most important thing is graduating and learning enough to pass boards.
      It’s enough of a feat to get through such a difficult program, you don’t need the added feat of getting through debt free when you’re already so far in. One thing at a time. She can pay it all off when she’s a working physician earning amazing wages assuming she’s not dissuaded.
      She will be going into residency after med school which is why her income will only be $50k-75k for the next few years.

    Taylor - maybe your husband hasn't paid his student loans because he is having a challenging time managing the bills for everyone, especially now that you are expecting your THIRD child and you are a SAHM. This is not all on him. I'm surprised at the RS advice here because they have always stressed that once a couple is married, the debt becomes that of both persons in the couple. So - it might be time for you to step up and get at least a part-time job to help pay off this debt since it now belongs to the only income source for both of you. Because whatever happens in the future financially is also going to affect you. Even with three children, a SAHM can bring in some money and help share the load. Lots of opportunity to work from home part-time, waitress or clean houses while he is home with the kids, etc.

    I still don't understand the reasoning behind anyone choosing to pay monthly, with interest, for something they can purchase outright with no interest. I think it's been made clear that if you pay for something in full, its yours, you don't owe anything for it and you have your income to reinvest. You can also sell anytime you choose and unless it's a depreciating asset, you're able to recoup the money you spent purchasing it if not more. Why buy a house for 3% more than the asking price when you are able to pay for it in full at the asking price? I'm confident if any of us showed up at the grocery store register and they tacked on an additional 3% to the costs, we'd walk away so why not apply that logic to an even bigger price tag?

    • @chaosdragun1608
      @chaosdragun1608 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The issue becomes you're forgoing investing a huge amount at one time to invest a smaller amount over time. The show focuses on killing debt but they almost never discuss the fact you can't buy time back and time is the biggest multiplier of wealth. The sooner you get X amount of dollars in the market the sooner its multiplying so the opportunity cost of dumping huge sums of money to pay off a low cost debt into a an average 10% interest yield investment could be the difference in millions of dollars at retirement.
      These calls are alot more nuanced than 60 seconds can address but if they had to give anymore advice than just pay off your debt the show would be unfeasible. Yes pay off your debt but if you're not drowning don't call a radio show...get a cpa who can put in the analysis lol.

      Depends....if you've yet to but a home a credit score is very helpful and a credit card is the cheapest way forward. The show teaches credit avoidance because most don't have the discipline to use credit correctly explained as some great evil.
      You can build your score quickly by just using credit for what you would buy with cash & pay it off before the interest hits causing you no debt & a higher score. The issue isn't the card it's human behavior...

    Wow, I'm genuinely surprised by Ramsey's advice for the caller to pay for a house in cash, especially when considering the financial strategy laid out by her advisor. Earning 8% on a $600K investment would yield $48K annually, and with mortgage rates around 4%, the effective gain sits at $24K per year. Over a decade, that's not just a small sum; it's a significant financial advantage.
    It's an eye-opener that peace, as valuable as it is, has been quantified at $24K a year by Ramsey, when in fact, the strategic use of debt could enhance financial security and peace of mind in the long run...

      Agreed. He said he has high debt because two people “lied” to him.

    I've heard the bankruptcy question a few times. I think they need to address the person's age. These people are older than Jade was when she paid her big student loans. If a 58 year old has several 100k in debt and it takes over 10 years? Dunno. It seems it will be tough for them to ever catch up. Then what happens is they end up on the dole anyway because they can't support themselves in old age.

    I had to pause the video immediately right after the first caller. The advice given (pay off the house) was very poor. Given that the caller said her ex always managed her finances, building a house by herself (and an expensive one on top of that) is a bad decision, and cost overruns are very common when building a house. She doesn’t even know how to handle her current windfall from the divorce yet, and all she wants is to splurge. The advice given to the caller should have been how about stay in a rental for now, learn how to manage her own finances and grow the money, then we can talk about buying a property to live in. Given that she is living alone, there is absolutely no need to build a house of her own at that size at her current age. Very likely she won’t have the health or energy to maintain the house in a few years as she’s almost 60. This is the classical symptom of people hitting the jackpot and wanting to spend immediately and not understanding how to manage that money first. Her advisor was right (don’t buy so much house!). With the pace that she is spending, she will squander all that money in a few years.

    Debbie - buy a house! But you don't need that expensive of a house if you are 60 and facing retirement and by yourself. The decision to have a paid-for house is not only a financial one, it is an emotional one and there is a great sense of security in having a paid-for home and knowing you have a roof over your head and can live on very little if you have to. Keep in mind that your financial planner is likely making more if you are paying him or her a percentage to manage your money - the more in your account, the more he or she makes, so that person is not entirely disinterested (unless you are using a fee-based planner you pay by the hour.) Neither my husband nor I like to manage investments, so we have always paid a financial planner who takes a certain percentage. Yes, I know that is NOT the advice most people watching every penny would give, but it has worked for us and we know she has made more for us than we could have made ourselves. You have no idea what might happen to your ex-husband and, then your generous alimony check would disappear - but you would still have the largest ticket item of your budget - your home - paid for. As I say often on here, I've never met a senior citizen who regrets having a paid for home. I have met LOTS of senior citizens who wish they had paid off their mortgage before stopping working!

I have one credit card which I owe $600 on and will probably be able to pay that off within the next two months. We pay everything online so one of us switching all of our accounts would be a pain in the hiney parts. He has half of the household obligations and mortgage and I pay the other half and half the mortgage. We are both responsible for 50% of Living expenses, mortgage, utilities and etc. 50% all the way down the line. We are both fine with this aarrangement.

      He is not abusing money. And he might not have always had that income. He has not had two jobs for long. Walk in a pastor's shoes before judging and see how many extra expenses they have compared with the general public. However, I'm not sure he is on top of the best financial advice for his position because it seems like he is paying for things that he could be deducting on his taxes which is one of the advantages for ministers, most of whom have low salaries. He needs to see a CPA who specializes in ministerial deductions (or contact the tax service of his denomination for help) to minimize his taxes which he can do legally. That would free up extra money to put on his debts.

    Ouch -- Only 2 days of Dave out the last 45. This hurts seeing he is away again. Unwatchable without him

      I doubt that he’s “away” again - he undoubtedly has other aspects of his business that need attention

      I love these two together. I’m just speculating here, but it seems like they are busy trying to train more coaches, so maybe Dave is very busy being involved with that.

    Debbie will be broke in 6 months! What happened to 25% of your income to pay a mortgage. 60, divorced, needs a $600,000 house? His alimony could be gone in a heart attack!

    James, needs to stay out of other people's business. He constantly talked over Jade and Rachel, not sure why he called other than to brag about all he's done.

    James- are you just calling to toot your own horn?

    Debbie should just rent for a year and get her head together, but no to buying half her money for a house when she's 60 and single. Does she realize her husband dies the alimony stops? Bad advice girls!

    Get ready for the Feminist angry screams… Ann is that classic delusional princesses who takes no accountability and wakes up one day, “Oh how did you take care of me and pay for all my life”

      It always cracks me up. When someone makes a comment weather, it's misguided. Or misplaced or possibly accurate, such as possibly yours, but did not have the sense to include a video time stamp so that we can reference what you are talking about....-_-

      It always cracks me up when people comment on only comments without actually watching the video…

      Cos they were both going to buy the house together....Rachel was quite rude and kept butting in and asking questions in the end and then said he should buy by himself....chances are he not be able to afford to qualify on his own.
