    Jack is $140K in debt and he started a woodworking business not to get out of debt but "to fund an early retirement." He's on his second marriage and kids are out of high school, so he's probably in his early 50s, so at most he's got around 10 years remaining to actually retire early.
    The woodworking business loses money, but Jack keeps pouring money into it.
    The woodworking business loses money, but Jack puts more time into it than a full-time job.
    Jack has debt on the trailer used for the business and it's likely that _a_ _lot_ of Jack's money is going into buying woodworking equipment.

    This call is a perfect example of why Dave is SOOO much better to have on these calls than the other Ramsey personalities. The years and years and years of experience that Dave has lets him zero in on the real issues that the caller has. Jade just seems like she is reading from the Ramsey playbook on what to tell a caller. Too often Jade listens to 30 seconds of a caller and immediately declares "well that right there is your problem" and then ignores anything else the caller has to say. Dave has a real knack for working through the caller's nonsense and uncovering the real issue.

    “The credit cards are coming back” like they have legs and are charging themselves…smh…these two didn’t talk about finances before they got married even though they’d been together for 6 years. They probably spent that entire time talking about how awful their exes were. They finally got married and the wife thought she’d hit pay dirt with hubby #2. Financial ghosts came back to haunt her, he doesn’t want to make waves (heaven forbid a second divorce) and avoids the entire topic by spending the evening in the woodshop. She gets mad/nervous/worried (heaven forbid a second divorce)and spends the evening shopping on the internet. On the weekend they rally, kiss and make up and tell themselves it will all work out. After the craft show, they go out and celebrate with a fancy dinner (charged on the credit card) then wake up on Monday to an even bigger nightmare. You don’t have to live like that.
