The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
You know, I turned 42 in March, and I want to kind of work hard in my 40s, so hopefully it pays off and we can retire when we want to sell the businesses in our home and get out of Washington. Good. What's your question today?
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
It's somewhere between $28,000 and $35,000, and I have about $50,000 set aside on top of our emergency fund.
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
No, we've been putting it away for this as well as I have a daughter in college and our responsibility for her is about $14,000 per year. And we've been paying that in full in cash when it comes about. And, you know, my son just got braces and paid that in cash.
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
She is amazing. And she has trouble spending money on herself. And so like, you know, I told her I've been putting this money aside and I want to pay for it for her.
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
No, she wants it. I'm happy with the way she is. She's been going through a health thing and getting herself in shape and changing her diet and all this stuff, so this is kind of the icing on the cake for her.
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
Right. You know, I want her to be happy with her body and happy with herself. And I think that she deserves this so much.

My wife, uh, for the last two years has wanted to get a mommy makeover and I haven't heard an answer to this question yet. So I figured I'd give you guys a shot. Um, we collectively, uh, make about $180,000 a year. Uh, we have, uh, two businesses that we own and operate. Um, And last year we completed Financial Peace University and we paid off $25,000 worth of debt that we had. Way to go.
The Ramsey Show
What Are You Willing To Give Up for Financial Freedom?
Thank you. Let's see. We cut up all our credit cards and we have a net worth of about $950,000. Wow. Awesome. Yeah. So it's been a hard road. But last year I decided to spend some of my free time working more and open up a handyman business. And I added about 75K on top of our regular income last year. Way to go.
