Personal finance guru Dave Ramsey guided a 28-year-old North Dakota caller away from a courthouse wedding, despite the couple’s substantial debt burden of $205,000 against their combined $240,000 income.
What Happened: The caller, who referred to his 25-year-old fiancée as his “old lady,” sought advice on The Ramsey Show about combining incomes to accelerate debt payoff. He proposed a courthouse ceremony followed by a delayed celebration after becoming debt-free.
