37.79 - 39.211 George Kamel

What's going on, Hunter? How can we help?

40.692 - 62.155 Hunter

Hey, so I believe in the Ramsey Method. Say the good amount of money. I want to buy a house. Um, I have this girl, like I want to marry her, but she doesn't believe in, um, she, she believes in like credit cards and I don't want credit cards. Um, cause that's what you guys teach. Um, how can I convince her? She thinks they're like, you can't rent a place or you can't get a house.

62.275 - 64.856 Hunter

And I've tried to explain her otherwise. What do you guys think?

65.973 - 75.036 Dr. John Deloney

How have you tried to explain it? Like role play it with me. How have you tried to teach your girlfriend or to talk to your girlfriend about the way she thinks about a problem is wrong?

76.636 - 98.086 Hunter

Well, I just, I don't know. I try to go soft like you guys do. I don't know. I'm like, well, this served me well. The Ramsey method served me well. I saved up over like $120,000. I'm only 22 years old. I think, yeah, I think there's just less risk.

98.626 - 118.593 Dr. John Deloney

So you are making, I don't want to over-gender this, okay? You are doing it exactly the way I would have done it at 22. which is I would have sat down with a spreadsheet and said, look how old I am, look how much money I am. And by the way, can I just, George and I high five you? You're doing incredibly well. 99% of Americans don't have as much money as you have in the checking account.

118.613 - 119.654 George Kamel

That's because he's in Canada.

119.995 - 145.595 Dr. John Deloney

Oh, Canada. There you go. On behalf of Americans, they don't have that much money either. But so you're doing a great job there. But I think getting beneath that is the only way I've heard and or seen it be successful, which is I don't want, like you firsthand know the turmoil that's been going on in the Canadian government over the last few years, right? The last few days. Of course, yeah. Yeah.
