Why is it okay that woman can do this and not men? Maybe her husband is depressed or can’t find a job equally to the one he had. There’s a lot to unfold here. Just so many questions not posed. Also, she obviously has a spending problem. Y’all not ready to take over this show without Dave YET!

she's obviously a stay at home mom. she said they were living exclusively off his income and savings. she has four boys and a household to manage. the bigger issue is her inability to create a budget, and spend less while her husband is working on a new project, and the husband taking five years off on a failed endeavor

[@amythinks]

I agree that Dave is the only one who has the chops to do this job, but I think most of those questions were answered indirectly.

[@jamisojo]

​@@BrianErwin the fact that her husband isn't making any money is clearly a bigger problem than not having a budget. Her spending isnt crazy for a family that had 500k lying around 5 years ago. Clearly the guy doesn't want to take the time to discuss a budget with her anyhow. It is hard to tell what exactly is going on here. Did they both want to just enjoy the money for a while and had no plan for actually going back to work? Has the relationship changed now that they have four children? Can he not fathom working a job anymore after he had some success? Did he get lucky in the past and now he thinks he has a skill that will make him a successful entrepreneur? 10k/month IS pretty rich living. In the current situation it is too rich because it is completely unsustainable.

Calls like this make me miss Ramsey. Yes, there's a relationship issue here, but this couple has a math problem that needs to be addressed pronto. Ramsey would have asked where the money is going--how much is the mortgage, how many cars/car notes do they have, can they sell one of the cars, etc. Can the wife return to a career while her husband works on his project and/or finds a new job? They must be spending a fortune on health insurance for a family of six. Even a very modest job would solve that problem. Losing a job can be devastating. It's easy to think you can't do anything but the thing you did before. These negative thoughts get worse over time. This couple needs to face their fears and jump back into the work force.

I also have to add its not clear whether he actually made no money in his new company in 5yrs or if he just doesn’t pull a salary for himself in that time. It’s very common for owners to reinvest everything into company so it’s possible he’s actually been productive this time just not taking it out personally yet. Since she admits he successfully built one business and she clearly has spending issue I lean more towards not trusting he’s spent 5 years doing nothing productive.

[@megalodon1726]

If it's really a well-known company, he should have millions after selling it and they shouldn't have to work for the rest of their lives. So either the company really wasn't that much, or they blew through millions.

He could even just work a part time gig to keep up with their living expenses, not too many hours so he can still work on his project. Idk how he doesn't feel the clock ticking.

How close is he to the big break-through he needs to make this venture profitable. If he gets it, what are the prospects of making tons of dough - and how much dough are we talking about potentially. How much time does it take to lay all this ground-work - can't he do something in the meantime.

I dropped my 4yr off at Pre-School on her Birthday in January 2020, when the Pandemic was taking off, then received a call from my Director on the way into work saying I'll be getting laid off after 7yrs of top performance at a major Tech company. It was our only income in our household and we also had a new born baby with a serious mortgage. Told my wife that I will land a better job within 3-months (amount of the severance package) so it won't impact our family, I set a motivation that if I could do this then I'll buy myself the Green Egg smoker grill I've always wanted. Landed a promotion at another company in 2-months but went scorched Earth on the applications and professional connections with 100+ sent because my family depended on it. Small victories continue the motivation to reach those goals. Wishing this family success because family priorities are what matter most

I hate how John simps in this show when he's a lot more level headed and fair in his own show. Like entrepreneurship is a money tree you just shake. Why can't she work while at home, or at least learn how to budget? Is SHE even contributing? I know of some women who don't bring any value to their partner either.

[@flashthecorgi2053]

I agree, I love John so much and I respect him deeply. I will say he is much harder on men and I don’t know if it’s because guy to guy he’s lived it and he doesn’t know the woman’s perspective so he feels he can’t speak on it but they both have responsibility to take in this.

This marriage has two people in it. One that doesn't make any money, but is trying and another that doesn't make any money, and isn't trying.

[@ganymedehedgehog371]

Five years with no results isn’t trying. It’s hiding failure and refusing to admit it. She needs to rein in her spending and he needs to snap back to reality and accept this start up failed.

[@LioraLand1]

if they have a 5,000 mortgage (sounds like they may have a very high end home) and normal groceries and Amazon for a large family, then I can see maybe 80k even 100K being needed, but not 120K. They should: never eat out. Zero nails, fancy haircuts or new clothes unless your kids’ tennis shoes are in tatters. Buy BASIC store brands of foods you cook at home. No more Whole Foods etc. (And I say this as an organic consumer for all dirty dozen items for sure)

[@Philippinesbound42]

They have zero mortgage

[@tmusa2002]

The average entrepreneur takes four years before earning money. We lived that before knowing the stat! The only way it worked was we were a two-income family, plus we ended up with a lot of CC debt (paid off now, thanks Ramsey’s!).

[@melanieabbondandolo481]

She should go to work and start making money and let him stay with the kids and work on his business. Maybe she would stop spending as much and he will want to go to work to provide again

[@NYNC88]

The easiest way to figure out how much they've been spending is to subtract the $80k they have left from what they started with.

It is strange he's trying to convince her she's losing respect for him. I'm not saying she isn't or even that she shouldn't, 5 years is a lot of runway. But she kept using different language and he kept coming back to it. Seemed weird to me.

Titles are way off. It’s been like 2.5 years and he had 300k saved up. I’m not saying he doesn’t need to find income but he’s not a bad guy. They need to budget together and figure out how to spend less until he can make decent money again
