0:00.0 | It's Tuesday and this is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network. |
0:06.8 | Joining me today is Ramsey personality, Rachel Cruz. |
0:11.5 | Rachel, our question. |
0:13.1 | Yeah, today's question comes from Martin in California. |
0:15.6 | He said I started the debt-free journey before I got married. |
0:18.7 | My then-fiancee knew I was on this journey, but never gave me |
0:22.0 | her true thoughts about it. We've been married four months now, and I still can't get her on board |

1:28.0 | you both have had multiple conversations. And again, you're kind of digging into more under the |
1:32.9 | surface. Then yeah, I mean, I think bringing in a third party is always smart. You tried FPU, |
