Dave Says: The pull of helping a financially irresponsible parent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My husband and I are trying hard to pay off debt and get control of our finances. The other day, my dad called and asked if we could give him $400 to take care of an overdraft at his bank. My dadâs a good man, but he has never managed money well. There have even been times he has gone to friends or my grandparents for money, and heâs 60 and has a job. What do you think we should do? Weâre living on a really tight budget, and Iâm not sure we have $400 to spare. Keep it Clean. Please avoid

My husband and I have been married for a couple of years. In that time, weâve received several gifts of cash from our parents. Each time this happens, my husband and I talk about what to do with the money. I came into the marriage with some debt, and we still have about $8,000 in credit card bills and student loans to pay off. During our last discussion, I told him I felt like we should keep paying off debt with the money, but he said he wants to treat it like found money this time. He wants t

Iâve spent most of my marriage not being involved in our family finances. To be honest, Iâve not been a very good husband. After being introduced to your show and your books by a friend, I realized how irresponsible Iâve been. When I talked to my wife about it and apologized, I heard for the first time that we have about $100,000 in debt, plus $55,000 in debt on a new car and motorcycle I did know about. Of course, we also have a mortgage on our home. She apologized for making a mess of th

My wife and I are on Baby Step 2 of your plan, and weâre paying off our debt as quickly as possible. Iâve even put my motorcycle up for sale for $5,000 to help us get out of debt faster. The other day, a guy offered me $500 cash and a fishing boat for the bike. Iâve always really wanted a boat, but picking up a toy feels weird when weâre trying to get out of debt. Plus, the money portion of the deal would only make a tiny dent in what we owe. What do you think about this? Keep it Clean.
Dave Says: Debt is like a ball and chain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iâve never had a credit card in my life. I do have a $600 monthly car payment right now, and itâs my only debt. I owe $10,000 on the vehicle. Currently, I have a six-month emergency fund saved, plus $25,000 in a regular savings account. Iâm in sales, so my pay often fluctuates from month to month. Should I pay off the car from savings, or hang on to that money just in case things in my job take a downturn? Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd, racist or sexually-oriented langu
