Stop Excusing Debt as a Dream | Aug 26, 2025

Dave Ramsey and Dr. John Delony answer your questions and discuss:
- "My wife and I aren't on the same page financially. At what point should I open a separate bank account that I can manage?"
- "I feel insecure only having $1,000 in my emergency fund while I'm in Baby Step 1..."
- "My husband hid credit card debt from me again. How do I protect myself from his out-of-control spending?"
- "Was taking out a $100,000 loan to buy cattle a bad idea?"
- "What should I do with my stock that has grown to $1.8 million?"
- "Should we accept a $100,000 gift from my parents?"
- "What's the best way to invest?"
- "I'll be graduating med school with over $200,000 of student loan debt. How do I pay them off while investing in a Roth?"
- "Is this trend of people selling their houses for RVs healthy?"
- "How do I repair my marriage and get out of debt?"
- "Should I confront my mother about using my 529 to pay for an exchange student's college instead of my tuition?"
