A Seattle couple who spent years clearing their cars, student loans, and credit cards have now sunk about $278,000 (£208,500) into a coffee shop and bakery that has not yet served a customer. When they called a finance show for reassurance, they did not get it.
Denise, who said she had worked in education for two decades, phoned The Ramsey Show with her husband to ask whether the couple should borrow still more to finish the build. Presenter Dave Ramsey, alongside co-host Rachel Cruze, told them they had 'made a mess'.
