Nobody Else Gets A Vote On Your Finances

Dave Ramsey and George Kamel answer calls from listeners tangled in family money dilemmas. A couple is uneasy about strings attached to a father-in-law's down payment gift. A wife is terrified by her husband's $90,000 business debt. The team also coaches a caller whose parents were scammed out of their retirement, a manufactured-home seller stuck without conventional financing, and a sweepstakes winner wondering if taking on debt for a free cruise is wise. Throughout, the hosts reinforce Ramsey principles on avoiding debt, setting boundaries, and owning your own financial decisions.
