Brought to you by the EveryDollar app. Start budgeting for free today. 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.
My co-host today, Rachel Cruz, number one best-selling author and host of The Rachel Cruz Show, co-host of Smart Money Happy Hour, all on Ramsey Networks, and my daughter. She's going to be answering the questions today, and I'm going to watch. Open phones at 888-825-5225. Nathan is in Birmingham. Hi, Nathan. What's up?
Hi, Dave. Thanks for taking my call. Sure. I got a question. It's kind of a rough situation. I need to know the best way to buy a used car going through a pretty nasty divorce. My car finally just bit the dust. My buddy said it can't. The transmission's out. The frame's rusted. I'm the type that just... Drives them until they're dead.
The problem is, I don't know what my soon-to-be ex did with the finances. She split up everything, left me with almost nothing. My lawyer's been trying to work on finding that out, but she's not working with a lawyer. So I just need to know the best way to do this. If we combined everything, we have the money to do that.
But she basically has told me to either get a car loan, which I don't like doing because we found I got out of debt. But I just need to know the best way to approach this without having to go out.
How long have you been separated, Nathan?
About five or six months.
And where has your paycheck been going, son?
Oh, I have my own new bank account. Oh, how much is in that? Yeah. Right now, about $2,000 because I'm paying for lawyer fees are really taking a good chunk of my money right now. Okay.
