I usually explain how you over pay for coverage, earn a horrible rate of interest and don't get your cash value when you die. But this time I just had to go straight disaster dot com and get a rate, and then we compare that right to the whole life plan and she immediately saw the huge savings. That's why suggests that everyone gotta zander dot com or call them at eight hundred three five, six four. To eighty two and get a free quote. Java God, where those in Minnesota a judge.

I guess I don't know be a good idea. Matter. Mathematically, but it'll feel better. You can get it if you can get a sense of progress, a sense of direction by knocking out a couple. That's gonna give you since hey this, is working? I'm gonna make it when you feel like you're, just a rat and wheels

Sixty three states that this holiday is for us to Thank you to the Lord Almighty for our blessings. Now, some of you politically

people. Don't agree with that, but that's what the Thanksgiving proclamation says signed by the President of the United States. So you problem, no, your history, it's a good thing, be thankful When you're thankful, you're not always happens, you're always generous through this holiday week, in look for some opportunities to practice, outrageous generosity that could be running across the parking lot to help someone load something into their car. I could be holding a door open while everyone else's running over someone that could be a money transaction where you live an outlandish Tipp. It could be a lot of things, but generosity is non action, its spirit, it's a character, quality, intact

Not an action? It's a character! Quality generosity falls in that category, so you ve got the opportunity to be out there be a bargain hunters have fun enjoy the holiday, enjoy the shopping time enjoy getting ready for Christmas, enjoy Thanksgiving. Joy eating too much the holiday the causes that, Enjoy all other stuff but be generous, find something you can do this year. There are different in the generosity area. And sometimes you, maybe you know from your black Friday sales may be an opportunity for you to buy something for someone. Maybe it's a Christmas present. Maybe it's not.

Nathaniel those weathers in Colorado. What are you thankful for? Nathaniel, how do I think that today, for my wife and my eyes month old son, It is the law of it go. How can I help today? Well, thank you so much for taking a coup. Essential. My wife and I we bought a home in May and MRS before we knew about the baby steps bore Ramsay anything of that and since I had gone to financial peace University, we are a hundred and twenty thousand given that our income is a hundred and sixteen thousand, However, my wife at the end of this school year, wants to stop working, which I'm a hundred percent support above and that forty five thousand dollars whatever income, so her last teacher, would be in July, next year and we're trying to discern whether or not we should sell our home. If we sell

when she quit, while the house by might be more than a fourth of your take omber. Yes, how? What will it be? percentage of your type of your take home pay when she quits it will be about fifty five percent of my take home pay. I'm currently looking for another job to kind of makeup for her pee, but even with her hey it's about thirty, five to forty percent. Yes, I would sell the house. Ok perfect in order, in order for her to stay home, that house ass to go, ok, cool and I think my phone question today is right. Now, I'm in Colorado with a little bit crazy and devalue goes up, but if we were to right now the view- and I was telling us how do we have to pay about five to ten thousand dollars just in the clothing coffins stuff, so that would go into our debt. We want to wait till the spring Army could have essentially avoid and even make about ten thousand dollars? Would you just

What right now and not even worry about it, or we into this thing doesn't matter. It's gotta be gone before she can come home, ok corps that you cannot survive on a house payment of fifty five percent undertaken by that will crush you. It just mathematically you what you yourself have trouble, even pay and lights, and water and stuff much less talking about any kind of prospering, so the house has begun so like fab fab, one February. First, it goes on the market. That the later because it how if she wants to quit and may cause you can't take it. You listen. If, if the house has not gone and may she can't quit, she can't you got pay the bill and you cannot make it on fifty five percent of your payment being of your undertaken by serbian House by each can do so

sure if job one. If coal one is her coming on to with with baby, which is what what sounds like we're talking about a moment. That's fine! But you have to to your expenses to fit your income. Then you can have your cake and eat it too. You can't live in that house with fifty thousand years less income. It's tough to live there. Now it's impossible to live there after she quit. So it's just gotta begone whatever that means. Yeah, but I would say February: first, is one I'm putting it on the market are right. Here we go Ashley's in Missouri High. Actually, what are you thankful for, I think, my gamely third, my belly quoth, my back and forth from ahead and you love it were honoured. How can we help today

I'm wondering if we should use my kids is inherited college fund and the pair from about that, my kids are for an eighteen month they are doesn't dollars each don't you have a life in that thirty five thousand and what your household income a hundred and twenty one I think you're gonna be out a dad in about eighteen months, if you dont use this and so I wouldn't use it, but now here's the way. I would no doubt here's the thing technically it in their minors. It's your money. You can do with it. What you want to do with the technical basis, most people would feel lousy, cleaning out their kids College fund a pebble

Our people would mean, even though you're not doing anything technically wrong, it would just be a lousy, and I just don't want you to feel lousy when I think you can clean this up in a ten months and now, if you needed, if you were a hundred bucks, broke and you needed this money to pay you, keep the lights on, keep the head on in the house and keep you from me a foreclosed on I'd use that money heart beat without any shame or guilt. But that's not what we're dealing with her we're just dealing with accelerating the velocity of your debt reduction. That's onward. With- and you can do this- I mean thirty five thousand hundred grand if you did two years at seventeen thousand a year. That's a walk in a partially oughta do an eighteen months. You might ought to do it one year but for sure you're, dead, free and eighteen months. If you do the basic math on this, so congratulations and happy thanksgiving to you. You're on your way. You gotta plan love. It

very well. Then, why me thanks giving all of you America look for an opportunity to be generous.
