A 22-year-old woman from Texas just received some tough love from the unlikeliest of sources. Holly, an Austin resident, had called into The Ramsey Show to get advice on how to help her 25-year-old fiancé improve his income without causing friction in their relationship. However, when she let it slip that the couple had already combined their debts, the financial expert, Dave Ramsey, stopped her in her tracks.
According to PEOPLE, Holly told Ramsey on the Sept 3rd episode of the show, “About a year ago, we started getting really serious about paying off our debt.” The goal, she noted, was to buy a house. So, they had combined their debts on “two vehicles and then, um, a credit card and then a car hauling trailer” a year and a half ago, with a plan to marry in about a year. Ramsey’s feedback was immediate and harsh.
