🤔 Can an online will work for you? Take this quiz to find out! Dave Ramsey and George Kamel answer your questions and discuss:
- "I'm $15,000 in debt with nothing in savings. I lost my job today, where do I go from here?"
- "Should we buy a house that's going to put us over budget by $1,000 every month?"
- "I just graduated and got my first job, how do I start saving and investing?"
- "How do I help my dad with his finances? He has $175,000 missing from his accounts"
- "We paid off our mortgage and my wife wants to upgrade our house. Am I being stingy for not wanting another mortgage?"
- "Why shouldn't we keep using credit cards if we are able to consistently take advantage of the points and cash back?"
- "We have $104,000 of debt, should we sell our car? Should my wife go back to work to speed up Baby Step 2?".
