Caller: I'm $451,000 in total debt. $252,000 of that is student loans, and I have 185 in a home loan. I only bring in $70,000 a year. After pension and all that stuff taken out, it's more like $40,000. I just don't know where to start. ​Dave Ramsey: What do you do for a living? ​Caller: Law enforcement. ​Dave Ramsey: How do you get $252,000 in student loan debt to be a policeman? ​Caller: I went to a private institution because my mother wanted me to go there. I went there originally for finance, didn't do good, so I switched my major to criminal justice, and then eventually went on for a master's as well, which didn't really help my employment eligibility as much as I thought it would. ​Dave Ramsey: Is your mother wealthy? ​Caller: No, neither my mother nor my father. I'm the first in my family to go to college. ​Dave Ramsey: Mathematically, we always look at the ratio of shovel to hole. The amount of hole you're in versus the shovel you have, your debt to your income. Are you married? ​Caller: No, I have a girlfriend who lives with me, and her daughter as well. ​Dave Ramsey: What is this house worth? ​Caller: I actually just purchased it off of a whim. My father passed away and it was the last conversation we had. It was across the street from his house, and he really wanted me to get it, so I jumped in with both feet to honor him. ​Dave Ramsey: So you didn't put anything down, so the house is worth $185,000? ​Caller: Yeah. ​Dave Ramsey: How old are you? ​Caller: I'm 31. ​Dave Ramsey: When are you planning on marrying this girl? ​Caller: She's currently in school to finish up for nurse practitioner. Sometime after that, hopefully after January. ​Dave Ramsey: Does she have student loan debt? ​Caller: She does. ​Dave Ramsey: How much? ​Caller: I'm not sure because she's not really on board with all this. I've tried to bring this up to her when listening to your show recently, and her thing is, "I'm too busy with school and don't want to worry about that right now." ​Dave Ramsey: I think you're the voice of experience that says it's a good idea to worry about it, otherwise you end up up a creek, which is where you are right now, and your paddle is real small. ​You told me in a five-minute conversation of two really stupid financial decisions you made from the influence of your mother and your father. You bought things you couldn't afford with money you didn't have, because of their influence. ​At 31 years old, you're going to have to decide to love your parents but no longer be influenced to do financial decisions based on their opinion, or even your perceived opinion of what your father would have thought. You cannot please these people anymore. They are breaking you. You make $70,000 a year and you're so far in debt you can't breathe. ​Buying a house you can't afford, going to a school you shouldn't have gone to and paying twice or three times as much for an education that you didn't even need to do the job you do. Am I wrong? ​Caller: Right. No, not at all. ​Dave Ramsey: Number one, that influence has to stop. Number two, you can't afford this house as a single guy making $70,000 a year.

Caller: I just recently graduated from residency to become an orthodontist. And I have student loans that total just over $1 million. ​Dave Ramsey: You're kidding. ​Caller: No, sir. ​Dave Ramsey: What were you thinking? ​Caller: Well, I wasn't thinking, clearly. So I sat down and calculated my interest rates, and my interest is about $5,800 a month. My fiancé and I are trying to decide what's the best way to try to attack this. This first year, if we're able to pay $10,000 a month, I guess there's basically two ways that we thought of it. I can do income-based, and my required payment will be about $3,000, and then we can take the remaining $7,000 and pay it directly at individual loans. Or should we cover the interest and then pay additional moneys towards other loans? ​Dave Ramsey: Okay. What will you be making as an orthodontist? ​Caller: About $250,000. ​Dave Ramsey: What does your fiancé do, and what will she be making? ​Caller: We actually just opened up an office, and she works in the office, so she's not taking any income out of the office. ​Dave Ramsey: Okay. So if you make $250,000 a year, why are you only putting $120,000 on your debt? Caller: The $250,000 I calculated pre-tax and everything else. We're going to put as much as we possibly can on the debt. And in the years to come as the income goes up, we're hoping to be able to make payments of $20,000-$40,000 a month. Dave Ramsey: Okay. I think the income-based option does not do away with interest, and so interest is going to be accruing greater than you're putting in. So you're not making any mathematical progress by doing the 3 and 7 idea, but you will make emotional progress because you'll be able to knock off some of the smaller ones. ​Caller: Right. ​Dave Ramsey: And God knows you're going to need some emotional progress in this process. And then the only other commentary I would just add is that, this is such an extreme situation. Your income is extreme, and your debt is extreme, that you have to be very, very careful to just act like you're a broke college student because you are a broke orthodontist. Caller: Right. ​Dave Ramsey: And so, that means you guys aren't going on vacations, you're not buying a house, you're not leasing a new BMW, you're not going to a restaurant. You have a $1,000,000 student loan debt. It gives me an anxiety attack, and it's not even my debt, but the horrible news is that ridiculous figure. The wonderful news is you have great income potential and a great income right now. So, you cannot relax. Caller: Right. ​Dave Ramsey: You have to cut as deeply as you can cut. ​Caller: Right. ​Dave Ramsey: And so, be dialing your taxes in. I don't want you to get behind on taxes. But other than taxes, and food, and water, and electricity, I really want everything else just going on student loan debt.

Caller: I am 61, I have zero retirement savings and only a $1,000 emergency fund. I am currently in Baby Step 2 trying to pay off debt, but my company offers a 4% 401k match. Given my age and lack of savings, should I pause the debt payoff to take advantage of the company match? Dave Ramsey: So you're 61 and have no money. ​Caller: None. ​Dave Ramsey: What do you make? ​Caller: I bring home roughly $67,000. ​Dave Ramsey: What is your debt? ​Caller: A little over $69,000. ​Dave Ramsey: On what? ​Caller: Student loan $11,000, I have a car loan of $18,000, I have a personal loan of $12,000, and then another personal loan of $26,000 on a tractor. Dave Ramsey: Why do you have a tractor? ​Caller: Well, we're country folks and... ​Dave Ramsey: Oh, "we." Where's your husband? ​Caller: My husband is 75, he's drawing Social Security, he is basically disabled. I guess you could say he has COPD and emphysema, he's had three back surgeries. ​Dave Ramsey: So he don't need to be on a tractor. ​Caller: No, I use the tractor. ​Dave Ramsey: Not anymore. Broke people don't have $26,000 tractors. Caller: Well, I have tried everything I can to try and sell this thing, other than just letting it go back and letting them sell it for whatever they can sell it for and paying the difference. ​Dave Ramsey: No, you haven't. Tractors are selling right now. What's, what kind of tractor is this? ​Caller: It's a Kubota... ​Dave Ramsey: That tractor will sell. Dave Ramsey: I would go to the credit union and borrow the $5,000 worth of difference and get this tractor sold, and you need to sell your car too. You guys are in emergency mode, girl. Caller: Well, this was two years ago before I discovered this past March. Dave Ramsey: Okay. What is your land worth? What's your land worth? ​Caller: Probably about three or four thousand. ​Dave Ramsey: Your land is worth $3,000? Caller: Yeah, we bought it back in '92. Dave Ramsey: You have a $26,000 tractor for a $4,000 piece of land. ​Caller: Well, we hunt and I use it to clear deer leases and our hunting area and food plots. Yeah, I told you I was a country girl. Dave Ramsey: Yeah, and you're starting to look up and go, "I need something to eat other than Social In-Security when I get to 66 or 67." So, yeah, if I'm in your mode, I am so scared, I'm going crazy, and I'm selling tractor, I'm selling car, I'm going to get a $2,000 car, I'm going to work like a crazy person.
