It's Tuesday, and this is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Joining me today is Ramsey Personality, Ken Coleman.

Lisa is with us in Spokane, Washington, to start off this hour.

Hey, Lisa, what's up?

Hi, Dave.

Thanks for taking my call.

So here's the deal. My husband and I were in the process of building a house.

We actually had the foundation go in last fall with construction due to resume this spring.

And then we found out last week that our construction budget went up 40%.

So we've been on this financial plan to do this really intelligently, and now it's just gone

off the rails.

So we're going to put that on hold due to COVID.

And I have this big chunk of money sitting in our savings account waiting to pay for this home that now we're going, it's not working for us, right?

It's making what, 1% in our savings account.

So we'd love to get your advice to have some thoughts on whether to just park it in a savings account.

We have a rental property that we owe some money on.

We had sold our primary home, and I'm renting a home right now.

Just could use some direction.

Why did you stop building last fall?

So we're building in a mountain environment up at a ski resort.

Oh, you have to, weather.

Exactly.
