Caller: "I was in a relationship with a man for seven years." "He needed to borrow money. I know how you feel about that... but I did it anyway because I thought we were going the long haul." "$200,000 later... he lost all the money." "He was doing some crypto something. Lost all the money." "He has since ended the relationship." "So now I'm out $200,000, which was basically the majority of what I had." "He's making monthly payments, but he's basically just paying me the interest at this point." "I'm 55 years old and I have approximately $95,000 left to my name." "How can I make that money work for me so I'm not working forever?" Dave Ramsey: "Wow... that's a sad story of how we got here." Caller: "I really thought I was going to be going the long haul with him." "I still love him." Dave Ramsey: "The good news is he's in the rear-view mirror." "The bad news is we're $200,000 poorer." "Let's pretend none of that happened." "If you called me today and said, 'I'm 55 and I have $95,000,' I'd tell you you're going to be okay." "But the $95,000 isn't what's going to save you. Your work is what's going to save you."
