Where are you going to get that from? And so if you can have a savings that only gets touched in cases of emergencies, and your kid saying something at the last minute is not always an emergency, okay? But if you have some savings, then you don't run out to get debt and you don't freak out.
JJ ConwayHOST
And the check engine light comes on in your car and it's like, ah rather than ah okay and so it's important to have that savings okay then once you've got your savings you start putting the rest of that into the smallest debt so you can knock it out now my mentor who helped me get out of debt Larry Burkett he used to teach pay off the highest interest rate one first technically mathematically that's the way to do it but let's be real y'all if we were thinking about math and if we were operating our lives according to sound financial principles for one we would never be in debt and number two we probably wouldn't go to starbucks or the tea place as much as we do so so you small so i like the snowball method where you pay off the smallest debt first because to me that feels really nice like you get one paid off you're like yay i did it and that gives you some oomph and some motivation to do the rest okay now if you can't pay all your bills every month That's where it gets a little more sticky.
JJ ConwayHOST
If you can't pay your bills off every month, then we do what's called a pro rata plan.
JJ ConwayHOST
We make sure we cover our four walls, right? We cover our housing, our transportation, our basic food, our utilities.

Steve DemmeHOST
Seventh verse, the borrower is the slave of the lender.
Steve DemmeHOST
I was trying to do what Larry Burkett said.
Steve DemmeHOST
He used to be a financial guru on Christian radio, and I loved the man, I loved his ministry, and he talked about sparing people from going to the bank, and you could lend money to your friends.
Steve DemmeHOST
I had a friend that needed some money, and I said, do you want to do this? And we did, and he was very faithful in paying it, but you know what he told me? He ended up going to the bank and getting a loan, paying me off, but he said, I just felt like it hurt our relationship because he felt like he was my slave, like somehow he was beholden to me.
Art RainerHOST
That's all that you have to do.
