Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, it's The Ramsey Show, where we help people build wealth, do work that they love, and create actual, amazing relationships. I'm Dave Ramsey, your host.

38.447 - 43.509 Robert

Doing great, Dave. Thanks for asking. Glad to have a little bit of time on this show with y'all.

43.77 - 45.33 Jade Warshaw

Well, we're honored. How can we help, sir?

47.011 - 64.8 Robert

So I have a family business that we've been managing for about seven years now. It's going to be closing down in the next couple months, and we're going to be due to owe about $160,000 in debt. How can my wife and I attack our share of the debt while also protecting our household finances?

0

66.42 - 68.301 Jade Warshaw

Okay, who owns the business?

69.862 - 81.748 Robert

So the business is a split between my mother-in-law, father-in-law, my sister-in-law and her husband, and my wife and I. It's not exactly one-third all the way around, but it's pretty close.

82.889 - 84.77 Jade Warshaw

Okay, so what percentage do you own?

86.571 - 88.131 Robert

My wife and I own 30% together.

89.152 - 91.673 Jade Warshaw

Okay, and what is the nature of the $160,000 in debt? What kind of debt?
