0:06.5 | So I'm seeking some advice. My husband and I don't agree on whether or not to pay off our car loans. |
0:12.6 | I'd like to pay them off, but he does not agree with that. |
0:17.1 | He likes being in debt on a car? |
0:20.9 | He tells me, and I quote, paying off our car loans is like giving away free money based |

0:31.3 | So he actually believes that people build wealth by borrowing on their cars? |
