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

Let's go to San Diego, California now where Mark is on the line. Mark, how can we help?

Hey, how are you doing?

We're having a blast. What's up?

Hey, so, yeah, I'm been dating this girl for about nine months,

and we kind of started talking about finances and money.

And she has about $300,000 in debt.

She had a PhD in pharmacy.

So she's a pharmacy manager making around,

I think around $100,000 a year.

And, you know, that was kind of a shock to me

because I have no debt.

I have good credits for.

I have an emergency fund.

I have enough money to actually purchase a home right now

if I want to.

I have a thriving business.

And when we talked about it, I kind of said, okay, well, you know, in the future,

you know, because we're not going to share expenses or financially until we're married,

I would be happy to support the household when we're married while you're having your income mostly go to the debt

so we can kind of work on it together and that seemed like a good plan and then a couple weeks later

she kind of brought up you know the understanding of like oh you know i have um a brother
