Keep each others bills seperate until your married. simple.

[Rashaadthegr]

The only thing sexier than a mate who loves God, has a nice body and brains is someone who is DEBT

[James-vjhz]

You're in babystep 1, she's in babystep 3.
It's simple.

[OscarMartinez]

At least they are trying to pay off their debt most people simply ignore it & let it pile up until it’s too late. 😐

[KTSpeedruns]

I wonder how many more of these "where do we start" videos there can be. There's baby step 1, then there's baby step 2. The debt snowball. My reaction to these titles is always, "YOU START WITH THE DEBT SNOWBALL". It's like some of these callers don't actually listen to the show or read the books.

When will these guys learn not to buy a house with a GIRLFRIEND!

[charleneh]

Sell that vehicle. My problem is
I need to learn how to balance money better! I don’t know how to budget our bills so we can save money. We can’t seem to save much.
As far as vehicles All our vehicles are old. No car payments. That’s one area we’ve always been Smart about. Buy 10 yr old cars...pay cash... and pick your own car insurance

[brandonclayton]

these situations are tricky...because even if your partners the love of your life and you're not married you gotta keep things seperate💯it'll ruin the love!! because what's theirs becomes yours and you'll start trying to tackle the debt...but keep in mind not everyone takes to help very well they'd rather get to it when they feel like...I'm in similar situation with my girlfriend owes around $50, 000 on student loans, , , at times i feel like she's overwhelmed by my aggressiveness to attack her debt so we can get on track to being wealthy.

[TeoGPoker]

You can have the mustard. I'll keep the car 😎

[tiebear]

When you get married then everything will be hers once you get divorced.

[ronbronb]

"our" becomes "hers" after marriage, no more confusion!

[bstrong]

Some couples are not good with sharing money Evan if they are married he should wait a while until they can be good together with money don’t get married right away

[ianmowbray]

Why do people buy so expensive cars which they can not afford that vehicle is so over the top.
you lose so much money buying them new!!!

[coconutsfor]

well if they get married and dont agree on how to pay the bills, imagine everything else in life--- I SEE DIVORCE SOONER THAN LATER

[karenhardie]

Daves face when you are not married. People you know how he is going to react.

[juicylechuga]

With 20k saved what's he worried about? Lol unless it's her 20k 🙊

[righand]

I’m 29 years old and I can’t imagine getting married. No way she’s getting half of what she didn’t earn.

[danielb]

What sane person buys a car that's almost double their savings?

[dwightlollar]

He should get a part time job like telling endlessness stories

[hesohit]

Should a person get married if the income have a large disparity? What would you do in that case?
