WANTED: Justice for Rhys Pocan & MMIW Part 2
Why does it have to be our own? Are the only ones that keep that flame going? Why can't somebody else help us? Because they know a lot of our people, they get tired too. And that's the sad thing about it. I'm hoping that when somebody hears, they listen and they help, you know, in any which way that they can. If it's news people, get us out there, too. Let our people be seen, you know.

Get the law enforcement out there as hard as they do for any but any other race, you know. Caucasians, especially, they're the main ones, and you hear about them all over the news, you know, ABC, NBC, CBS. on the night news and everything, you know, CNN. And it's like, well, what about ours? Where do we fit in all this? And if something were to happen, you see something, say something.

If you see something ain't right, try to help them. Because some women, we don't say anything. That's the thing. And I know a lot of us think we're strong. But we can only be strong so much.

Hi, Dave. Thanks so much for taking my call. I am on Baby Step 2. I have been on Baby Step 2 for about a year. My conundrum is I have an opportunity to take a job in a really remote location. really far away from family. My kids are grown, but I was widowed about 25 years ago and raised them all on my own.

But the positive to all of this is that it comes with a lot of financial benefit to help out with student loan debt and such. And I'm kind of feeling guilt for wanting to do this going so far away from family for financial. So I'm kind of like, is it loving money that I want to do this for?
The Ramsey Show
Don't Chase Money, Chase Freedom
Well, it would basically give roughly about $100,000 toward my student loan debt. So it would cut it over half. And it would give me a lot of financial freedom after that two years, like coming back and actually being able to spend time with grandkids and such.
The Ramsey Show
Don't Chase Money, Chase Freedom
Close to debt-free, yeah. I would probably still have maybe about $30,000 in student loan debt. Mm-hmm.

Quit Trying to Outearn Your Stupidity!
Yes, so I have an employer that offers a student loan forgiveness and I am debating whether or not when I go back to nursing school to pay it cash to not add on to the debt that I already have or should I go ahead and take out the loans, be better financially stable during nursing school and then apply for the loan forgiveness after I graduate.
