with his wife, who is battling Stage 4 *******.

Adam began by explaining that “There’s a fight every time we try to set a budget.” He added, “She feels like I just make the budget and then go over it with her, but she always feels like I just make it and don’t give her any input,” highlighting the tension that financial planning has introduced into their relationship.

Adam explained that budgeting is a new priority for them, and he identified himself as the more organized partner — or “nerd,” as finance expert Dave Ramsey put it.

In response, Ramsey emphasized the importance of

. He explained that he teaches the “nerds” creating budgets to work with their “free spirit” partners by involving their partners in the process and getting them to contribute.

“[You must let] the free spirit … change some things in your perfect little budget. Otherwise, it’s not our budget, it’s your budget,” he told Adam.

He initially believed that’s what Adam’s partner was griping about.

However, Adam went on to explain that, despite his wife’s health challenges with Stage 4

within 12-18 months.

This is where things shifted for Ramsey.

He responded with concern for Adam’s wife, criticizing his insistence on his wife’s financial contribution during her illness, stating, “I absolutely apologize to your wife for calling her a whiner in Stage 4 *******, and I’ve discovered that you are the whiner.”

Ramsey emphasized the need for empathy and understanding, advising Adam to prioritize his wife’s health and well-being over financial contributions.

can be delayed, pointing out it’s fine to move towards the debt-free goal at a slower pace while she doesn’t work.

Ramsey also said it’s fair for Adam to do a better job of drawing her in to get agreement on the budget. However, he understood her unwillingness to participate so far, given that Adam’s proposed solution was “unreasonable.”

Ramsey recommended the couple engage in open communication and seek guidance from professionals. “You guys need to sit down with someone and start working on your relational skills,” he advised.

He also stressed the importance of Adam drawing his wife into
