Big Paychecks Won’t Fix Dumb Financial Decisions
The Ramsey Show
Sell the dream home or keep community for family wellbeing?
Joey asks whether to sell an expensive dream home for financial peace; hosts suggest timeline, income growth goals, or downsizing to preserve long-term retirement investing.
🤔 Can an online will work for you? Take this quiz to find out! Jade Warshaw and George Kamel answer your questions and discuss:
- “Why isn’t bankruptcy a good way to force me into a “cash is king” approach to debt?”
- “My mother expects my brother and me to take care of her financially in her old age. What should we do?”
- “How do we pay off a HELOC that we’ve been using as a giant credit card?”
- “How do I deal with family that’s mismanaging their money?”
- “Should I stay in my job or go to college?”
- “I’m $90,000 in debt and I’m struggling to cut back my expenses. How do I get into a “rice and beans” mentality?”
- “My mother is in $90,000 of debt and after digging into her finances, I have no idea how to help her”
- “If I was looking for a risky investment, what are my best options?”
- “Should we pull money from retirement or take out a Heloc to cover our expenses when my husband changes careers?”
- “Do you recommend adult children living with parents without contributing to expenses?”
- “Should we sell our dream home for financial peace?”
- “My father gave me a loan for my house. Should I pay him back or have it taken out of my inheritance?”
