While we are out for Christmas break, we've compiled some of our favorite Dave and John calls from the past two years. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and we'll be back with a live show on Monday!



Dave Ramsey & John Delony answer your questions and discuss:


  
Should I lock my husband out of our savings account to stop his out-of-control spending?



  
Should I file bankruptcy?



  
Should I budget for a vacation?



  
Our insurance didn't pay us after a natural disaster destroyed our home.



  
Should I help my boyfriend pay off debt?



  
Should I take out a $10,000 loan to fix up my mom's kitchen?



  
Why is mortgage debt okay but not car debt?
