Jun 26, 2026 · 2h 7m

Summary

Dave Ramsey and Dr. John Deloney address diverse financial dilemmas, including a widow who spent $1.1 million on cruise ship art and a couple struggling to save due to private school costs. They advise a listener to immediately repay a $4,000 wedding debt to protect their marriage, while explaining how inherited property receives a stepped-up basis to minimize capital gains tax. Ramsey also warns an unmarried couple to separate finances before marriage to avoid vulnerability and urges a daughter to sell her mother’s home for private nursing care rather than relying on Medicaid.
