Hi Dave I am so blessed Beverly from Grenada the caribbran
I think the problem may be that they are focusing on projected income; he hasn't passed the bar yet or landed a solid job, and she is hoping to get in a position that pays more in the future. As it stands, they have 300,000+ in debt and their household salary is 75,000. I don't know if I would go on a honeymoon or even get married to be honest until the debt has been significantly reduced. I'm assuming that they each have separate debt and I'm sorry, but if I had a lot of personal debt to clear, I would not marry someone in the same situation. Love is wonderful I get it, but it should not blind you to the reality of your situation. I don't think you don't need completely solid ground to get married, but situations like these are already filled with too many factors that can lead to unhappiness, stress, arguments, and then ultimately divorce, which ends up costing you more money.
If the marriage is real and they want to be together forever then whats the rush to go on the honeymoon in the first place…
Ive been married almost 5 years now and I have yet to go on our honey moon, vacation, didnt even get to do a marriage in a church yet because we make just enough to cover bills…so sometimes things are worth waiting for…NOW that being said 375k in debt, whats the hells the difference they dont sound like they want to get out of debt anyway so go ahead and have a great honeymoon 🙂 lol enjoy it now before bankruptcy…
I feel like if someone else has called in and the situation was the same except it wasn't a honeymoon, it was just a normal $2500 vacation, Dave would say no and beat them up for even wanting to do that. Dave loses his stance when it comes to marriage.
My thoughts before even watching the video : No, you may not go on a honeymoon.
It irritates me that she’s passed the bar and working but assumes her husband will make $15k more when he’s behind her starting in the same career.
375k just to make 90k each?
Not worth it….
Engineering make that by 25 years old 3 years out of school with less than $40k total schooling
First of all, why would you even consider getting married with that much debt? Can't you wait a couple of years? What's the rush? I wouldn't recommend anyone getting married in a capitalistic society until they've established their occupation/career and can pay their bills BY THEMSELVES. But if you insist on it, I recommend having a county courthouse wedding, a cheap reception (a picnic at your local park with a donation box), and spending the night at a $50 hotel room for your "honeymoon." The whole shebang shouldn't cost more than $1000.
Let them enjoy their cheap honeymoon. Sounds like they are going to put their noses to the grind stone the second they get back.
Skip the wedding just do the honeymoon
Don't have a 10k wedding when you're in debt! Get married on paper, become debt free, then have a big party if you still want one.
For some reason Ramsey supports expensive weddings. I don't get it.
Dave is unusually happy at the end of this with that much debt lol
