“My Husband Owes $58,000 To 3 Separate Women” Caller : My husband had fathered three children before we got married. He has separate child support orders on all three of them. There's three different moms, and together, it's a combined total debt of $58,000. I didn't know if we should do like your traditional debt snowball I don't want to like pay for one child and the other two are not receiving any money. Dave Ramsey: how much other debt ? Caller : Um, about $5,000. We have a small car loan Dave Ramsey: And what's your household income? Caller : Um, about $35,000. Dave Ramsey: Okay. All right. Um... so just one of you working? Caller : Yeah. I work full-time. I make $17 an hour. Dave Ramsey: Hm. What does he do? Caller : he's always wanted to own his own business, and so this year he decided that he was going to um try and start a landscaping company. Dave Ramsey: Okay. But I mean, did he start it before... before winter? Caller : Yes. he started it in April, and um he was making about $500 to $1,000 a month from that. Dave Ramsey: Okay. So, it's not working out? Caller : No. Dave Ramsey: Okay. And I mean, unless he has a plan to get his income up 10x, he needs to get a job, doesn't he? Caller : Yes. Dave Ramsey: Okay. Yeah. Your nervous laughter tells me he's sitting on his butt not doing that. Dave Ramsey: Well, what exactly is he doing? Caller : Um, well, he is at home,we have two children together. so he is at home with them right now, but um uh while they're at school and stuff Caller : ...he's not really doing much. Dave Ramsey: Bull. If he was marketing his business, he'd be making more than $500. So, as kindly as I can, I need to just say out loud that there's a guy that owes $58,000 for three children that he's not taking care of, and he's doing zero about it, And that's kind of not okay.

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.

Caller: I have a gambling addiction. I haven’t filed taxes in five years. About five years ago, I had $200,000 in gambling winnings. After that, I haven’t filed anything. ​Dave Ramsey: Do you still have a career? ​Caller: I'm retired. ​Dave Ramsey: Okay. Do you have any money? Anything? ​Caller: I've got almost $10,000 in my savings account. ​Dave Ramsey: But you don't have a nest egg other than your pension. ​Caller: No. ​Dave Ramsey: Do you own a home? ​Caller: Yes. About $13,000 is remaining on the mortgage. ​Dave Ramsey: What is it worth? ​Caller: About $300,000. ​Dave Ramsey: And how much is your pension income? ​Caller: $95,000 a year. ​Dave Ramsey: That's good. Are you married? ​Caller: No. ​Dave Ramsey: Have you done something about the gambling addiction itself? Have you quit gambling? ​Caller: I have not. ​Dave Ramsey: Okay. So whatever we do is going to be a temporary fix because that is going to cause further problems. Agreed? ​Caller: Yes, absolutely. ​Dave Ramsey: What kind of gambling are you doing? ​Caller: Slot machines. ​Dave Ramsey: Are you lonely? ​Caller: Yeah. I've been single for quite a while. ​Dave Ramsey: How old are you? Caller: 61. Dave Ramsey: From working with people addicted to anything, I know that 100% of addicts eventually have financial problems. The addiction consumes every department of your life, including your financials. ​I can help you with the money parts of it, but it is a temporary fix until you deal with this. It's not bringing you joy. If you were my buddy sitting down over a cup of coffee, here is what I would tell you to do: Step 1: Get in touch with the Gamblers Anonymous folks in your area. ​Step 2: Find a good local church and start developing a personal relationship with a pastor who can walk with you. ​Step 3: Find a one-on-one professional counselor to help dig into what is really going on so you can get to the other side of this.
