Hey guys, it's James Childs, producer of The Ramsey Show. This week, Dave and the personalities are living it up on the Ramsey Cruise, so we've put together a compilation of some of our favorite calls and segments from the last year. Regular shows are back next week. Hope you enjoy!
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 Jade Warshaw. I'm joined today by best-selling author Rachel Cruz. Thank you for being here with me today, Rachel. So great, Jade.
It's a good show.
It sure is. All hour, we're going to be taking calls about your life and your money. So give us a call. The number is 888-825-5225. We'll take your call and we will give you our best shot at advice. I think we do a pretty good job, but I guess at the end of the day, it's up to you. So let's go straight to the phone lines where we've got Jason from San Jose, California. What's going on, Jason?
All right. Thanks for taking my call. The problem that we're having is my wife and I can't decide. if we're in baby steps three, four, five, or six. And we seem to be moving in and out of those baby steps.
Okay. Tell me more.
Well, we make about $320,000 as our household income. We've got two mortgages, one on our primary home with about $220,000 left to pay on it. Then we have a rental property that we break even on every month, and we've got about $300,000 left on that. We both save for our retirement, and we max that out every year to get the matching contributions.
I have ESPP along with other investments that I place, and then we have college funds for our kids. And the issue is, so my wife manages all the month-to-month daily checking operations, and she wants to have the six-month savings in a savings account tied to the checking account.
And I keep explaining to her and showing her that, hey, we've got all this money elsewhere, money market funds and stocks.
