My mother always said about the know it all who want to tell you how to live your life: "When they (the neighbors etc.) start paying all my bills, I may listen to them, but that doesn't mean I'll do what they tell me to".

59:48 if I was dating someone who I had concerns about how they handle money, I definitely wouldn't be getting married to them. That's a recipe for disaster.

Here we go. A couple making 300K a year gets gifted 'Every Dollar'????
Jade, they don't need this gift. Gift it to someone that needs it. Good grief.

[Davefitz]

Lily from New York…. All of us listening already know how your story ends…

[rnarzu]

$300, 000 yearly and shes looking at consolodation loans type! They live above means and need a realty check.They need to pay for every dollar, they can afford it.

OH good, a couple earning $300k and the taxpayers get to pay their student debt. When I say taxpayers, I mean the couple earning $60k is paying their debt for the $300k couple.

Divorced woman now after divorce wants to protect herself in her new marriage, so she wont get screwed over like her Ex-husband did by her. Hope the boyfriend hears this and leaves her to enjoy his own life with someone without resentment towards him.

The women who called who claims they make 300k a year but still had to pay for furniture with a credit card, and still has that balance is either a liar or a liar

[bitcoinbrown]

I look forward to these daily now thanks Dave and Team!

17:14 and 19:16 love, love, love how Jade referred to The Money Guy Show saying, "The Messy Middle." The RS personalities have been saying that more and more lately. They must listen to TMGS.😊

[anniethomas]

Judge Jade 👏👏 Great advice! I wonder if the other five children went to college and if so, went to the one where the dad works. I hate the secret keeping about the loan. That was so wrong of her father.

$300, 000 a year and you can't live on that? Living too large.

[NaturalWifeyandMamaBear]

Haha George, I just ordered ‘Richie Rich’ for our boys and was looking to buy ‘Blank Check’ next; on list. Fun classics. Yes we still watch dvds, 📀 buy the $5-$7 ones 👍 that’s our entertainment 📺

For Rae from Ohio, you can go to any hospital and they will hire you and train you such as a pharmacy tech, phlebotomist, you can do supply chain...

[luisasipple]

Do the balance transfer and use the no interest period to pay it off. I did that with a credit card and saved about $4500 in interest and was able to pay it off in the 11 of the 12 months given at no 0%

[Trustbutverify]

First call - why are you offering free Every Dollar and FPU for people with that income? They need skin in the game and can pay for both themselves. If they won't, they don't want to get out of debt. They can also use the free version of Every Dollar. Save the giveaways for people who can't afford the products.

[Murphyrepellent]

I do not agree with the idea that once newly wed you should bail your spouse out if they are not on board with debt free-living. What better way to prove that they are all for debt free living than to pick up the hours and pay down their debt before marriage? Seeing is believing....I did pay off my spouse's debts upon marriage and they went straight back into debt and then filed divorce trying to get more $$$ in spousal support, child support, and 50% of my wealth.... needless to say the courts saw right through that gold-digging.... never again>>prenup or single

[paulp]

sophia from DC needs pre marriage counseling and boyfriend needs FPU.

[brono]

You guys just want to point out any mistake people make and bash them? Its honestly not a big deal.
The scenario was a budget issue so she offered them a budget solution. The other caller wasnt a budget issue.
They offer multiple things to multiple callers.

How are you making over 300K and getting forgiven on your loan?
