DAVE SAYS

Be Tightfisted Until the Crisis is Over Dear Dave,

to the inheritance money. Hang on to as much as possible, though. This sounds like a time of personal and professional transition for you both, and having that kind of extra cash around could be a lifesaver!

Recently, my husband had to quit his job due —Dave to an old back injury. We have $25,000 in debt, but I’ll be receiving a $38,000 inheritance in a couple of weeks. Should we use the money to pay off our debt, or hold on to it in case he needs surgery?

Should We Ever Buy a House?

Kristen

Dear Dave,

Dear Kristen,

Who Is Dave Ramsey? Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others. Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually. Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide. He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Janelle Surgery is a possibility at this point, plus you may need some of that money to live on until Dear Janelle, his job situation improves. In most cases like this it doesn’t make sense to Then, the moment he returns to work and things buy a house, especially if the real estate market are stabilized, you jump back into getting control in your area is lethargic. Some markets have of your ﬁnances. Use whatever is left of the bounced back and are doing very well, while $38,000 to pay off debt that very day. But right some are worse than slow. It all depends on now you don’t need to worry about becoming where you’re moving. debt-free, only to turn around and be in a mess in the event he has trouble ﬁnding another job. Let me give you a warning too. Thirty-eight thousand dollars is a great gift. If someone handed me a check for that amount, I’d cash it in a heartbeat. But it’s not $380,000 or $3.8 million. It’s easy to develop a false sense of security if you’ve never received a check of that size. This kind of money is enough to keep the wolf away from the door for a while, but it’s nothing to retire on.

Here’s the big question: Can you get the place sold quickly the next time you have to move? Another thing to consider is whether or not you can sell it for more than it cost when the time comes. If not, you’ll be writing a check for home ownership, and that’s not a good plan. As a general rule, a two- to three-year window is not enough time to own a home. There are rare exceptions to this rule, places where you have a hot, escalating price market. But if you’re not careful you’ll end up leaving behind a rental property and playing landlord, whether you want to or not!

This little nest egg is a real blessing, Kristen. Just make sure you handle it wisely, and take into account all of the possibilities over the next couple of months. In a best-case scenario your husband won’t need surgery, he’ll ﬁnd a job —Dave pretty soon, and you guys won’t have to dig in

Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Diana, I had to reschedule my interview with a distribution center because I had trouble locating the place. I did find it eventually and talked to the security guard and told her what happened. She contacted the manager, I guess, and said they would call me on Monday to reschedule my interview. Do you think this will hurt my chances of getting hired there? I mean, I couldn’t help that I had diﬃculty finding the place. -Houston, Texas Reader It may hurt your chances, but it all depends on the recruiter. If they know that their location is diﬃcult to find, they may excuse it. However, they may want to know that you are resourceful, and that you found the location in advance in order to be on time. The big problem is that they probably already hired one of the people who arrived to interview on time! In the future, be sure to Map Quest or Google

map it before going if you don’t have a GPS. Our time is so heavily scheduled that it makes it hard to reschedule. Go ahead and contact the recruiter again and apologize. Tell her/him that you will definitely be there on time and ready to start if you are rescheduled. I’m sorry that this happened because I think this company is a good match for you. I retired three years ago as a clerk from the VA hospital, and have been unable to access or reenter the workforce. I have a misdemeanor, Class C, for domestic disturbance four years ago. I have held several security guard jobs while concurrently working at the VA; however I had to abstain from them because of the stress I encountered at the VA. I desperately need to be reemployed. Can you possibly tell me where I might reenter the workforce as a security guard? Thanks for your time. I am a Vietnam era veteran (sixty eight years old.) -Houston, Texas Reader Most companies require that you list felonies, but very few ask for you to list

misdemeanors. It’s possible that security companies need to be stricter about their background checks. If they are really picky, the domestic situation may show on your background check. As for the best way to reenter the security field, you’ll have to just conduct a regular job search and apply at each of the open security positions that you see. I would advise you to not mention the stress you encountered at your last job. Your interviewer is just a person, and it’s a normal human reaction to get nervous when someone tells you that they had to quit because of stress. Most jobs have some stress, and no one knows how much is too much for each individual. They’d rather hire someone else who doesn’t have as many issues. I don’t know if your age could be a factor for a security company. I know that most companies like mature workers because of reliability and dependability. If you have the skills and energy to do the job, can present yourself as physically capable and interview well, there should be no reason you won’t be hired. Sometimes it’s really hard for me to wake

up from a nap. A lady from one of the companies where I sent a resume called me at about noon, and I don’t even know what I said to her. I hope she doesn’t think I was on drugs or something. Do you think I should call her back and explain that I was taking a nap when she called? -La Marque, Texas Reader Oh, no. Really, don’t call. I’m sure that she realizes you were not totally alert, but you don’t want to reinforce the fact that you were sleeping at noon! She probably prefers employees who are alert during the day. Unless, of course, it’s a night job.
