How can I afford a house in Finland?
Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, broadcasting from the Pods Moving and Storage Studio. This is the Ramsey Show, where we talk about your life, specifically your money, your work, your relationships. It is a free phone call to jump in. 888-825-5225. I'm Ken Coleman, joined by George Camel. And as I said, this is where we unpack technology. Your big questions, the small questions, the medium-sized questions. There's no bad question here because this entire focus of this show is about you getting breakthrough in the form of hope through practical steps forward, whether that be, again, in your debt and financial life, or I'm here today to help you through some work issues. Maybe you're dealing with a toxic leader or toxic environment, or you've got some opportunities you're not sure, should I take it?
Can I... actually change jobs and change careers in the baby steps? The answer is yes. And so George and I are here for you. George, you doing well today? I'm doing so great. You look particularly fall themed today. I like it. Peak fall aesthetic just for you, Ken. You look like you could blend right into the lovely warm brown tones of the studio. Wow.
Should I sell or fix my broken vehicle?
I noticed earlier today that the audience can't see it, but your boots match your shirt and your glasses. And they say men don't notice. Well, I tell you, you just look like fall. Thank you. And we're glad that fall's here. By the way, I want to just mention this very quickly. We'll get to your phone calls shortly. We are headed to Dallas, Texas. I looked up at the calendar this morning. A few days away. And we will head out on Friday. The whole crew. the entire Ramsey personality crew we're going to be coming to Dallas for a smart conference I'm sure I'll be talking about that later in the program but I got very excited about that and that's going to be a one-of-a-kind day we're very very excited all of us there speaking and I'm excited for your talk and which a very different talk for you but very inspiring nonetheless well I'm going to be addressing the issue of waiting on your world to change you know and you think about uh
People's financial issues, you know, I think very succinctly of the person who is just sitting there right now and baby step one going, I don't even know how I'm going to get to a thousand dollars or they're in baby step two and they're going, okay, I believe this works. I want it to work. But it feels like it's going to take me forever. And five, seven, eight years is what it looks like it feels like. And they're exhausted. They're exhausted emotionally. They're exhausted physically.
What are the pros and cons of fixing a car versus buying new?
Some exhausted spiritually. I think of people in marriages that are fighting for everything they got. We took a call the other day when we were on together. And I said to the man, I said, I'd fight with everything you got. I've got friends that have gone through divorce, and that's what they've told me. They wish they would have fought with everything they have for that marriage.
What's that old quote when you're at the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on?
Tie a knot and hang on. That's from Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR quote. All FDR. And so we're going to be talking about that at Smart Conference. You know, you're waiting on a kid.
prodigal son to come home you know um and so what does it take to wait how do you summon the willpower to wait so that's just one thing we're talking about you're going to be talking about i'm talking about how to find that margin because so many calls we take people are going i don't have enough money at the end of the month to cover my bills to do the baby steps and so i'm going to show them very tactically how to do that and do a live every dollar budgeting demo which i know sounds as thrilling uh as can be you might want to wear a steve jobs kind of outfit little turtleneck
