Katie's with us in Dallas, Texas. Hi, Katie.
How are you? Yes, I'm good. How are you? Great.
How can we help? So, I'm $27,000 in credit card debt. I had $10 left the day I got paid.
Okay.
Speaker 1 You have to radically do something different because if you keep doing what you've been doing, you're going to keep getting what you've been getting.
Speaker 1 Normal is broke and scared. Normal sucks.
Speaker 1
Now is not the time to be doing math. The time to be doing math was when we didn't go into $200,000 with debt.
You are worth being well. And you're worth not being anxious and panicked all the time.
Speaker 1 And most of that starts with intentionality.
Speaker 1
You have talent, you have experience to offer. I mean, dude, we're talking fresh start.
Imagine how that would feel. You guys spending all that you own.
You're robbing yourself.
Speaker 1 And y'all are wondering why you don't have any money out here. George gives worthless advice the absolute worst of all Ramsey personalities.
Speaker 1 What's scary is I'm just giving the advice you would have given. So what does that say about you?
Speaker 1
This is your halftime speech, okay? It's halftime and you're behind. $10 is not okay, leftover.
That's the definition of terror when you're by yourself.
Speaker 1 If you are freaked out and you're stuck in these debt payments, you think it has to be part of your life, it doesn't.
Speaker 1 Do you promise me you'll do this stuff if I give it to you free? I promise. If you don't do it, I'm going to kick your butt, okay?
Speaker 1 Okay, deal.
Speaker 1
I want you to laugh. I want you to have hope, all of that, but I also just want you to learn because that's why we're here.
Ignorance was bliss until they got the advice from us.
Speaker 1
They went, I know too much. I know what I got to do now.
I always want listeners to come away with a sense of power over their situation. Nobody else in my life listens to me, but they do.
Speaker 1
That's what I hope they come away with. Enlightenment and confidence.
That's what I want from people. You are able to accomplish things that you never dreamed you'd be able to accomplish doing.
Speaker 1
The way that I was living was a threat to my kids. Nobody threatens my kids.
You were intentional. Say what? Intentional is the word for sure.
You have to be disciplined and intentional.
Speaker 1 That is awesome.
