We discussed which budget item this would fall under, decided which other project we could downsize to stay within that budget, and bought the nice door. It installed in 15 minutes, and we will never regret spending more, because we knew how to reallocate the money in that budget item. No stress, no hand-wringing, no regrets.

He told me he just got rid of his because even when he was losing money, his advisor was making money. He just told me don't do it. I have been doing it on my own all this time and I am happy with how much it has grown especially lately.

Can I just say we don't hear enough about the new parent overwhelm, lack of sleep - that's the chaos first and foremost, know that, then move forward with that knowledge with your budget. Peace will come from feeling into the new parent saddle, breaking it in everyday. Seriously, when you don't get enough sleep, everything can get really whacky in reactivity. When you know that, you'll have a little more compassion for your state, you'll find some humor, you'll know it will pass. We were able to move forward with step 2 in that time of life, with recognition of this.

$200k joint income with 2 kids in Boston is actually not much. Boston has some of the highest childcare cost in the country and the cost of living is incredibly high. Although agree that a $3200 deductible isn't that bad especially since you have a 9mo runway to save for that.

First, $200K total household income is NOT a lot in Taxachusetts, esp. if you own a home near Boston. Second, does no one understand how health insurance works? They have to pay 100% of the bills up to $3200. Then insurance steps in and pays probably 80% up until they incur $6800 out-of-pocket for the year. So their total debt is going to be $11,800. $6800 is not insurmountable but is a sizable chunk if you don't plan for it. With a nearly 9 month warning period, you might think they'd prepare a little better but........

For anyone confused the home she sold was not 1.6 million. It was valued at way less and she managed to sell it for way more. Also if you don’t do well financially it is probably difficult to fathom someone paying 60k a year when you yourself have never made that. This is not a man who would be paying $50 a week in child support. He would probably be paying $2000 a week or more in child support based on his income. For her to be awarded 60k yearly that means he A. Makes a great income and B. She did not work and was a stay at home mom for the benefit of the family and children and therefore has no career, would be living in poverty and has no way to make a decent living due to giving up all of her good work years. Not to factor in I don’t know who caused the divorce but if a man cheats or is physically abusive and the woman divorced him or if a man chooses to divorce a lady for whatever reason and she now has no career, what should she do? The courts are working in her favor for a reason. Clearly whatever the situation was, it makes sense to the court that she should be able to live comfortably. She is even still choosing to work what she can (babysitting) to earn. Imagine if she was just a babysitter now. How long could she even do that at her age? She probably has no retirement, no 401k. She would be loving terribly when elderly with no job etc

First reply about eating the loss on the Vette is spot-on. In business it’s called sunk-cost: it’s money that’s gone no matter what decision you make, so it shouldn’t influence the decision at all. That said, if you love the Vette, it’s not worth letting it go over five grand. $15,000 is chump-change compared to what a lot of Ramsey callers are facing. Cut back your spending dramatically until the end of the year and pay the Jeep off as a Christmas gift to yourself. Since you asked what Dave would say, I’ll add that he’d probably chew you out and make you swear never to finance a car again 😊

Does Dave think insurance covers all birthing costs? We had to pay $10,000 out of pocket even with insurance.

Yeah this isn’t making sense to me. He said they are on BS2, which means they should be down to a very strict budget and paying off debt. He then says they were putting $1000/month into the credit card debt and that’s good, but with no other debt it should be way more. They must be bringing home north of $10k/month, which should leave them with several thousand leftover to pay off debt. They aren’t serious enough about the program.

Dave should have gave him a free Financial peace book bc he has none

Id be embarrassed to call in...

And then you open a credit card because you have no debt. Lol

I always told my kids to not assume people with money are smart.

Wha wha wha! 😂

Canada has the best healthcare system designed healthcare for all so no one goes without it so does Europe. Just a recent case mother last her son it was a brain aneurism took the kid had surgery and died at the operation table. He had no medical as parents are making above poverty line. Mom works as a caregiver They both make above minimum wage but son did not qualify for medical. Mom’s work doesn’t offer medical dad’s work insurance charges $500 per family individual which was big portion of his paycheck. Not only they lost their son but now the bill came for $230 k for few days of hospital stay.

Yeah, it's so great that Canadians flee to America to get medical treatment in a timely manner.

If you pay private, you get seen to quicker. But I can tell you as somebody living in the UK, we don't need insurance and we don't pay extortionate amounts for health care. And in fact, you may just find that our national health service performs better than hospitals in the US. You have to pay just to hold your baby in some hospitals in the US! Are you crazy?!

Are you telling US healthcare system if they are crazy? They are smart they know how to make money off of general population who by life’s tragedy end up in their trap. I spoke with a nurse who last her life savings after she was diagnosed with a terrible disease. She last her house and now is starting from button up. Thanks to the system. Is that crazy or what?

Of course they do they run away from US and openly discuss how terrible is it in US.

Wow. We make about 60k as a household and have more medical bills that that. "Piling up" thats laughable

Doesn't see the forest for the trees. This isn't a financial problem it's psychological, he has trouble letting go.

This is the stupidest caller I've heard on this show. And somehow he makes $200K/yr. He's either house-poor, or just called to hear himself talk.

I would like to say classic example of "a fool and his money are soon departed," instead it's "a fool hanging onto debt who makes 200K annually lol."

Lol this is a confusing call

I Feel like he left something out.Something substantial because there's no way he should be this stressed out
