Episode Details

A Houston woman sparked a major relationship debate after calling Dave Ramsey to reveal her live-in boyfriend refuses to propose until she pays off nearly $90,000 in student loan debt. But instead of telling her to focus on the debt, Dave Ramsey shocked listeners by saying she should leave the relationship altogether. Now people everywhere are debating whether financial struggles should impact marriage decisions, or if true love should come without conditions. Is refusing to marry someone over debt financially responsible, emotionally unfair, or a major red flag? In this Daily Dilemma, we discuss relationships, money, marriage, student loan debt, financial compatibility, and whether love and commitment should depend on a credit balance.
