This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Joining me today is Ramsey personality, Rachel Cruz.

All right, Henry's with us in Madison, Wisconsin.

Hi, Henry.

Welcome to the Ramsey show.

Hi, Dave. Long-time listenersey Show. Hi, Dave. Longtime listener,

thanks for taking my call. Certainly, sir. How can we help? I'm in a bit of a bit of, I'm in a big mess,

and I just wanted to get your advice on it. Okay. So, um, I took F to you about 12 years ago. I know the

system. I know the system.

I had every dollar plus.

I've been engaged to my fiancé for about seven years.

The only reason that we haven't gotten married is I can't afford to give her

her day that she deserves.

She wants to wait for that day.

And my concern is that she just lost her job due to medical reasons, and we lost her insurance.

She has COBRA, but it's $800 a month.

There's just absolutely no way that I can get, I can put that $800 line item in the budget. Is it in this

situation is it ever appropriate to take a hardship withdraw from traditional retirement products

so that you have health insurance? Uh, do you have health insurance at your work?

I, I, I'm eligible for health insurance at my work, but I'm a massively service-connected veteran,

so the VA takes care of all my health care.

Okay.
