Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. A couple of lessons from

today's show so far. They were both object lessons for things we have taught many times here

before, but we'll just reiterate them. First, never buy something like a house with someone you're not married to,

like your fiancé.

Earlier caller, fiancé broke up with him,

now doesn't want to sell the house that they own together.

He's going to end up in a lawsuit to force the sale of the house, the disillusionment of a

general partnership, which is what they have, that has no partnership documents, because

they lived together for five years, got engaged, and then bought a house prior to marriage dumb

really dumb and she's squatting saying i'm not going anywhere if you're shacking up

don't buy a house with your roommate. It's dumb.

You're going to screw up the relationship.

You're going to end up in legal and financial trouble.

It's dumb.

Was I unclear, George?

I think you added an extra syllable to that dumb.

It was that intense.

Stretch it out there with a little southern twang.

Now, then the second thing we've learned is, and I hear this one all the time, and both of these things baffle me, that's why I'm hitting them, because they're just illogical.

If you get your car totaled, it is not a reason to upgrade in car.

Period.

You are driving a $6,000 car.
