Welcome to the Ramsey Show, where we help you win in your life, specifically with your money, with your work, and in your relationships. Alongside George Campbell, I'm Ken Coleman. Thrilled to be with you guys today. 888-825-5225 is the number to jump in. 888-825-5225. All right, let's start it off with Amy in Minneapolis. Amy, how can we help?

0

45.811 - 49.253 Amy

Well, I am turning 61 in two weeks.

0

50.233 - 52.274 Ken Coleman

All right. That sounds exciting. Early birthday.

0

54.315 - 66.881 Amy

And I have been good with my money all along, but I have failed to have a retirement fund. And I'm wondering at this point what I can do so that I can retire maybe at 67.

0

68.149 - 84.614 Ken Coleman

All right. Okay, so we're working with six years to retire, and you have zero? George is going to walk you through this, but just a couple quick questions. You have zero, or you have very little? What's the real, real here?

84.834 - 101.394 Amy

I have no retirement fund, but I do have... Cash, and I have no real debt. The only debt I have is about $9,000 that I took out a 0% interest loan and did some updates on my house.

101.675 - 103.776 Amy

Okay. Sure sounds like real debt to me.

105.938 - 108.86 Amy

Well, yeah, but other than that, I have no debt.

108.961 - 114.525 Ken Coleman

What kind of cash do you have? About $200,000. And what's that sitting in?
