Hi, Rita. Hi, Dave. I'm sorry. I'm nervous.

The Ramsey Show

Normal Is Comfortable, but Comfort Doesn’t Build Wealth

1268.514

Thank you. Well, I'm 63. My husband is 60. We've been married 36 years. And most of our marriage has been full of debt. Right now we have about $44,000 in credit card debt. We have an $800 truck payment, $200,000 between the two of us in student loans. And I just feel we have no retirement whatsoever except our home.

I know. My husband felt the need to go and get two master's degrees. He's a teacher and I'm a teacher. And so we got a late start probably in our mid-50s. And I taught, you know, I'm teaching wonderful.

So between the both of us, I added it up, take-home only is $5,635 a month. Okay. Wait a minute, you make $30,000 a piece and he has two master's degrees? Well, yes. In teaching, it helped him make more money, but...

Oh, well, for the credit card debt, I don't even know how much it's taking out of that. It's doing it automatically?

Right. Oh, goodness. About $34,000, which is about what it's worth. Oh, yeah. Sell that today.

I've kind of hidden it from him, so that's my fault. That's my fault.

It would. And if I may let you guys know.

And I feel like I've allowed him to, because when his dad died, he gave him $100,000, but...

The Ramsey Show

This is why he won't sell his truck, because when his father died, he... He inherited a cabin in Colorado that's free and clear. It's worth about $500,000. And so he doesn't want to sell the cabin because it's emotional. You know, his dad's memory is tied to it. What's that got to do with the truck? Yeah, you're right. You're right.

Oh, he feels that once we sell the cabin, someday... that he'll be able to pay the truck off.

We have $30,000 in our checking account. But I don't want to pay anything off with that because that's my security nest over the summer when he doesn't get paid. Okay.
