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

Today's question comes from Kathy in Arizona.

She says, my daughter just got married and her husband loves your show and is budgeting according to your plan.

For new couples who are starting out and getting to know each other,

it's hard to be on a tight budget with no extra money for date nights or even a yearly

vacation.

With both of them working full time, there needs to be something to look forward to besides

just paying the bills.

Shouldn't your plan be modified a bit to include adequate funds for these activities

as they get to know each

other both personally and financially? That makes me laugh. That's good, Kathy. Wow. I don't know what

plans she read. Your plan is to have no extra money, right? That's the plan I know in love.

Honey, you need to leave your grown kids alone and let them run their own lives you interfering mother-in-law oh what book did she read oh okay no we don't have money for

date nights in there when you're trying to get out of that no we don't have money for dating nights in there when you're trying to get out of debt.

No, we don't have money for vacations in there when they're trying to get out of debt.

And this poor little couple newly married will survive that.

They'll make it, I promise, Bob, and they'll get to know each other just fine because they ain't got anything to do except

sit and look at each other.

So it's going to work out just fine.

I love that you said as they get to know each other financially.

That's very interesting.

So here is what you do need to guard against.
