Full Episode
Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, it's The Ramsey Show, where we help people build wealth, do work they love, and create amazing relationships. I'm here, Jade Warshaw, with my co-host today, Rachel Cruz, best-selling author, number one, baby, all the time. Sometimes, Jade. Sometimes. Listen. Take those props.
Well, we're going to be taking your calls about life and money, and it's the holiday season, so I'd love to hear calls about people deciding what they're going to do for the holidays with their money. That's always fun. All right, Rachel, you ready to get into it? Yeah, let's jump in. All right, let's do it. We got Sam from Green Bay. What's going on, Sam? Hi, thank you for taking my call.
Hey, what's up? How can we help?
So my sister and I, we tend to have this debate every Christmas, and so... she's using Ramsey as her stance. And I just, I wanted to see if this truly is a Ramsey principle. So my sister and I go in on Christmas gifts often. And in my mind, if I'm going in on a gift with my sister, that's two people. We split it 50 50. Okay. But when she's saying that it's from her, her husband and me, um,
In my mind, 50-50 doesn't fully apply because there's three people now.
You think it should be thirds?
I think it should be at least recognized that it's not 50-50. So thirds would make sense. But can I tell you how she frames it? Does she blame us? Yes, she does. And I am not sure. She says, well, according to Dave Ramsey, we are one household with one joint finance situation. And so we count as one share. And I'm a single person. So to me, that's just... Rude.
Well, here's the thing. Okay. It is definitely getting in the lines of like legalistic, I think. She's right. If you're married, we think of you as one, like one income, one band, one sound, like that whole thing. But I also see your point of view, which is like, hey, let's say we all make $50,000 a year. That's $100,000 from her household and only $50,000 from mine, right? Yeah.
yeah is that what i'm understanding so tell me what you want out of this do you want her to just recognize hey thanks for going halfsies on me i understand that it's two against one here is it just you want her to validate that or do you really want her to pony up more cash good question that is a solid question i think i would like okay if it's for my parents and then you know that's more my sister and i
