Dave Says: How Grown Up Are You Going to Be?

Dave Ramsey - Dear Dave, Recently, I got married and I have $10,000 in student loan debt.

I think it makes more sense to pay down my student loan debt. Who’s right? Elizabeth Dear Elizabeth, Why not completely pay off the student loan, and put $40,000 toward a big down payment on a house? I’m sorry, but your dad is just plain wrong on this one. You should...

We have a baby, my husband brings home about $2,000 a month, and we have $50,000 in debt, the majority of which is student loans.

When he emerged into the hallway, Salerno saw fellow Latter-day Saints hugging, crying, clapping and celebrating — as if their soccer team had just won the World Cup. That moment became pivotal in the young father’s life. ...
