This is exactly why I invest so heavily in my retirement. When I retire, I don’t want my kids to spend a single penny on me. I want them to have great lives and grow without worrying about my old ass

[Lady.Luck.]

As soon as he offered to pay bills and she only had to pay off the debt..she started seeing what else was possible

[Ryan-umxe]

Uhhh, red flags all over dude. She has 300k in debt, brother with dollar tags, and a mom with boundary problems. I'm guessing that's just the tip of the iceberg. She has a lot of incentive to marry you. Be careful

[dcg]

His gut is telling him to leave her. He’s fighting it over guilt. The guilt of not wanting to be saddled with all of this. Mark- RUN

[mdlytle]

I knew someone who went through this. He went from helping his wife’s family to fully supporting them financially. His in-laws had no boundaries and drained him completely. It didn’t end well for him.

I suggest this caller rethink his relationship with this woman and get out ASAP. Theres too many red flags.

Ken isn’t the flashiest Ramsey personality but I’ve watched The Ramsey Show extensively and he absolutely always gives the best advice and picks up on things others don’t

[Wuncler]

He’s debt free and has a good thing going. He will wake up soon with 300k of debt and her family to take care of. I’d rather stay single or find someone else.

[Shay-ygnm]

Dude RUN! This woman is going to drain your bank accounts. Her family is not your financial responsibility. This isn't going to end well.

[KeithWashington]

It’s not just about the mom, it’s about the mom, brother, and 300K in debt..

[Trev_Swen]

He's not even married yet and I already feel stressed 😑

[warrensloan]

It sounds like as soon as he mentioned supporting her while she paid off her debt, a lightbulb went off and she started thinking about all the other people he could support too. He needs to run, leave the city, leave the state, possibly the country, and change his name.

Loaning money to your wife‘s mother because of irresponsible behavior is NOT in the wedding vows. Don’t do it man!

[pmeehan_]

They've ONLY been together nine months and she's already asking for money. Dude you are going to regret this.

[rettathomas]

No! you’ve been dating her for nine months and she never mentioned a brother with special needs. She’s also 300 K in debt and also expect you to take care of her mother too, No!

[legony]

Thank God for Ken. Doloney’a advice was totally off until he reigned him back in. Still shocked neither of them even mentioned that the woman has 300K of student loan debt.

[Foslopac]

This woman is looking for a solution to her financial problems. Run, man.

[Josh_Morales]

They’re not married. The boyfriend has no obligation to financially help out the girlfriend. She has to dig herself out of her own hole and from the looks of it, he should run away from her! She makes $100k and can help her family just fine!

[jancyking]

RUN, man. You are a prime mark for this family!

[EJ]

Not your responsibility man. Don’t fall into the trap.

[DFullerLisa]

He's giving everything and she's giving nothing.
