Dave Ramsey and Rachel Cruze answer your questions and discuss:

- "How can I best use the inheritance I just received?"
- "My husband just told me we are $60,000 in debt. How do we go about this wisely?"
- "My business just went under and I have close to $1 million of debt. How do I get out of this mess I'm in?"
- "I just got fired, should I file for bankruptcy or consider a debt relief program?"
- "How do I get my husband to take the plunge and buy us a house?"
- "Is a budget set in stone or can it be revised once it's in play?"
- "Should I lower my retirement contribution in order to pay off my house faster?"
