Recent ly, we learned he fi nanced an expensive car he’s now upside down on. In addition, he has accumu lated over $15,000 in credit card debt. He lives in a small town, and only pays $650 a month in rent, but he is asking for money. We taught him about living on a budget and staying out of debt when he was younger, and now it seems he didn’t listen very well. How do you think we should handle this situation? Bryce Dear Bryce, The first thing I’d advise telling him is that you and his mom aren’t going to whip out the checkbook, and make his problems disap pear. That may sound harsh, but he had a really good thing going until he messed it up by acting impulsively and irresponsibly with his finances. Nope, I wouldn’t take care of it for him—not at his age. This young man needs to have some skin in the game. I’d tell him to sell the fancy car, and get something way cheaper to drive for a while. I’m talking about a little beater in the $2,000 to $3,000 range. It sounds like he’ll have to get a small loan to cover the difference, but a little car debt is better than a lot of car debt. I’d also advise him to pick up a part-time job nights or weekends until he gets that credit card debt paid off. In other words, let him wallow in it and worry about things for a while. Then, if he’s willing to accept responsibil ity for his actions, and starts handling money more wisely, you two might help out every so often with a little extra cash on the payments. But I’d test his resolve first. And I’d want to see proof he has learned from his mistakes! —Dave * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solu tions.

No? Not quite? More like a minor riot with lots of stress? If so, it’s time for a change. There’s no magic way to guarantee that the bedlam that marks those getting ready for school times in too many homes will totally disap pear, but there are steps to take to help minimize the school-morning frustration, stress and anger. You can start by not blaming the kids for all the problems. Make it clear that you’re not happy with how you’re acting (you know, that yelling and lecturing virtually every day). Tell them you want to change and you need their help in making it happen. An important step is give the kids more responsibility. A kitchen timer, for example, is a great way to help young children finish that breakfast with time left to get dressed for school. For older kids, let them use an alarm clock, maybe on their phone, and have them agree to a “no-snooze-alarm” rule. For both younger and older children there have to be consequences, discussed and agreed to ahead of time, if they don’t stick to the time rules. They give up a fa vorite something if they slide back into the old ways. And you also need to set a consequence for yourself if you flip back into yelling and nagging to get them moving. You can also make changes to move things See Chaos page 4C s 1 N V d S 3 A i X 3 1 3 s V >i n 1 0 1 1 3 N i A O 3 3 y V s O H M 3 3 N V d 0 N i s s V A ■ 3 1 a a n H O 1 N O M A 1 S i N 3 O S V s i V s a N 3 y 3 S V i a 3 i i y M 3 N V A 1 y n s a i 0 V O N 1 H y 3 i 0 a 0 y n 3 d V 1 0 3 N i 3 3 y i i a a y 3 3 9 A V y y n IAI ■ 3 N 1 N N n y a 3 y V d i n N 1 N 1 M a 3 N y n d s 3 3 ' 0 O y O 3 i V S d 3 1 a n V Happy Birthday To: September 5: Brian Johnson, David Kolody, Dan ielle Ackler, Tyler Brown, Chris Paul, Gavin Hicks, Alayna Smith, Trevor Hohorst, Beth Radcliffe Mixon, Brandi Black, Elizabeth Holland, Cindy Story, Karen Culbreth, Jennifer Jones, George Wiehrs, Cathy Wiehrs, Harsha Patel; September 6: Kailyn Saliba, Jim Smith, Ashley Gibbs, Layten Guarnieri, Zelda McSwain, Kirby Wood.
