  My Mom couldn’t buy food after Dad passed.  At least she called me and I made sure she was taken care of.  She moved in with me and I cared for her for 14 years. Families must step up.  No regrets.  She passed away at 96.

  Her sister didn't  call her to tell her that her husband had died, and she hasn't  called her children to inform them their stepfather has died.  She doesn't have any family support.😢

  Imagine having a mortgage at 76 and having no idea how to manage money. Terrifying.

  One of my worst fears is for me to pass away and my wife and children are left to struggle financially due to one reason or another. I am the breadwinner of my family and I sat my wife down and discuss everything with her from my business down to the insurance policies. She knows exactly what to do when that day finally comes.

  I love how Dave helps to take care of widows without charge.

  I like how Dr. John talks to her like a normal person and not an old lady that doesn’t understand anything! ❤

  My husband made me sit down on a monthly basis throughout our marriage and go over finances.  I hated those monthly sessions.  However, when he died suddenly at age 59, I was so thankful he had made me do this.   He had also prepared a special file with all the key information I would need.  When one faces the most devastating loss of your life, you can't even think straight.  No one knows when they may lose a spouse, and everyone should know the basic facts of the family finances.

  "MY Bible says to take care of the widows"  Mr. Ramsey, this sentence pierced through my heart. I have to thank you and God bless you. I don't know you or your show. America is great because of good people like you.

  "My bible say to take care of widows" I started to tear up when you said that.

  This is the tragedy of relying on people to take care of you your entire life. This poor lady sounds completely helpless.

  She's a part of the generation of women who's husbands took care of everything, and didn't want to "burden" the wife with bills, finances etc.  This is sad.  Bless her heart

  "My Bible says to help widows."  Thank you Dave.  Thanks for that reminder and for the good example you set.
