| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, George Campbell here, and you're listening to a replay of some of our favorite moments |
| 0:04.4 | from this year. Have a great Memorial Day! |
| 0:30.0 | Live from the headquarters of Ramsey Solutions, broadcasting for the pods moving in storage studios, |
| 0:40.0 | it's the Ramsey show where we help people build wealth, do work that they love, and create |
| 0:47.6 | actual amazing relationships. George Campbell Ramsey personality is my co-host today, |
| 0:54.1 | open phones at AAA, 825-525, Annie in Spokane, Washington starts this hour. Hi Annie, welcome to the Ramsey show. |
| 1:04.2 | Hi, thank you so much for taking my call. Sure, what's up? |
| 1:08.1 | Yeah, so my husband and I have a slight disagreement and the question is, should we pair mortgage |
| 1:15.3 | and empty our savings account or keep it low for about 150,000 and then do a few home improvements and |
| 1:24.6 | that would be a new foundation window than a HFAC system. Okay, so how much is in savings? |
| 1:34.6 | Right now we have 608,000 in savings. Okay, and the balance on your mortgage is what? |

| 2:18.0 | Okay, so you have a quarter million dollar income and all right, we do not tell people to pay off |
| 2:27.7 | debt and leave less than three months of expenses. Okay, so let's fast forward from today a couple |
| 2:38.4 | of months and now you've got 630,000. Okay, that day I would pay off my mortgage. Okay, and then I'm |
| 2:51.1 | going to use this fabulous income and the extra $6,000 a month to build up some little buckets of money |
| 3:00.4 | to do these renovations that we want to do. Okay, yep, my husband said that's what you'd say, but |
| 3:08.0 | well, I'm fairly predictable. I've said it over and over and over. I said the same thing all the time. |
