| 0:06.7 | Well, we are, we have a lot of debt and we just kind of shifted our thinking the last couple |
| 0:12.5 | months. We've been, Dave Ramsey fans, our whole marriage. We got out of $30,000 of debt 10 years ago, |
| 0:19.0 | but then started going down the slippery slope. My husband's |
| 0:22.5 | about to be 40. I'm 37, and we have three young kids at home. We have two rental properties. |
| 0:28.9 | One's on the market right now in the Nashville area. We owe 170 on each, and they're worth |
| 0:35.6 | about 310 to 320. We're hoping to get one at a time. My question is |
| 0:40.7 | what to do with the profits. Are you just selling one or both? We're planning on selling both |

| 1:38.5 | We've paid about half of it off. |
| 1:40.0 | It used to be over 45. |
| 1:41.6 | But we still have 24 left, and we want to get rid of that. |
| 1:46.2 | We have 31,000 on a car loan, and we have our primary mortgage, which is 292 left. |
| 1:55.5 | And then we also have business loans. |
| 1:57.8 | So my husband moved here, and he started a land clearing business. And so we |
