JD Wash All Ramsey personality is my co-host today. Open phones that triple 8, 8, 2, 5, 5, 2, 2, 5, as we talk about your life and your money.

Before we go to the phones, a couple of updates right quickly. Irony of ironies, Zoom has announced that their employees must come back to work in the building.

1:13.0

If that doesn't strike you as funny, I don't know what does, okay? I'm just saying.

1:18.0

And of course, I've caught so much hell because I have said Ramsey, we work from work at Ramsey. That's where we work from. We don't work from home, we work from work.

1:26.0

And well, you're not flexible. No, I understand that humans need to be around humans and that productivity and creativity and vision go up when humans are in direct contact with other humans.

1:37.0

It's a basic tenant of humanity, a human being, not just a human doing. And so we work from work at Ramsey.

John and me included. And I had... If you have heard that or yet to hear it, but you'll hear that I explained to her, she's not going to lose the house.

2:45.0

And we're going to get Lisa, our senior financial counselor that works with Christ's stuff on the job here and furnish it to her.

2:55.0

Take care of her because as people of the Christian faith, we're instructed by our book to take care of widows and orphans. And so we did.

3:03.0

That's simple. And so we took care of her. Lisa's met with her. She's got all kinds...

3:08.0

You know, the chaos that was all over her life is starting to come into order of the house. Well, of course, not before closed on.
