The Right Financial Decision Starts With Understanding the Problem

George Kamel, Jade Warshaw

George Kamel and Jade Warshaw take calls on a range of financial dilemmas: a spouse hiding debt, budgeting for a partner with expensive tastes, a crushing $955 car payment, rising living costs, a disputed hospital bill that went to collections, $164,000 in student loans, and the risk of keeping $100,000 in cash at home. Using the Ramsey show call-in format, they walk each caller through scripturally grounded, practical steps tailored to their situation.
