Pittsburgh man tells Dave Ramsey he wants to marry his girlfriend of 8 months — but balked when she suggested a prenup
Mike, 36, from Pittsburgh called into The Ramsey Show for advice on his relationship's next steps. He told Dave Ramsey, 'I want to propose to my girlfriend, but we disagree on finances.' Mike quickly expanded that the couple discussed their potential future together — including his intention to combine their relatively similar assets — devolved when she requested a prenup in order to keep their finances separate. 'I see no reason for [the prenup],' said Mike. Dave Ramsey and Jade Warshaw agreed. 'So, you're not ready to propose,' said Ramsey. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to this $1B private real estate fund. In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how Getting on the same page before marriage Mike recently sold a piece of land and will walk away from the deal with $180,000. He's made a budget and plans to use those funds to pay down the mortgage on his own home and be mortgage-free within four years. As they've gotten more serious, Mike broached a conversation about his intention to combine their finances in the future. Eventually, once they potentially marry, he wants to buy a bigger home with his now-girlfriend. His girlfriend, who owns a rental property of her own, doesn't want to combine finances at all, even though their assets are similar and she doesn't come from a wealthy family. Instead, she wants the prenup to outline individual assets and keep their money separate. In fact, she represents 50% of American adults who are open to prenups and hers would represent one in five marriages that actually have one, if she were to go through with getting it. However, after learning the couple has only been together around eight months, Ramsey advised against jumping into an engagement right away. 'You've got some more work to do on this relationship before it becomes a marriage.' Ramsey pointed out that, 'The number one cause of divorce in North America is disagreements over money.' With that sobering statistic in mind, Ramsey suggested the couple get on the same page about money before taking things any further. According to Ramsey, disagreements about money generally reflect a deeper misalignment of values, which is important to work through before getting married. 'I think you scared her,' said Ramsey. She might not be ready to combine her finances due to other fears, particularly around completely trusting a spouse with combined finances. 'What it sounded to me like what she was dealing with was fear-based and it wouldn't have mattered who the guy was,' said Warshaw. But when considering marriage, Mike and his girlfriend still have work to do. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it Financial red flags that can predict a breakup Financial disagreements can put strain on any relationship. In fact, a recent survey from the New York Post found that 32% of Americans are uncomfortable discussing finances in their relationship. And 44% worry that discussing finances with their partner will lead to disagreements. If you cannot openly discuss finances with your partner, it's often a red flag. When sharing your life with someone, the ability to openly dialogue about big picture issues, including money, is critical. When a partner actively avoids talking about finances, it can put an ongoing strain on your relationship. After all, anytime you need to make a household money decision, the lack of communication could quickly lead to an issue. In Mike's relationship, Dave already spotted one financial red flag: this couple has mismatched goals. Mike wants to pay off debt and interweave their finances. In contrast, his girlfriend wants to keep her assets protected, just in case. This pre-made exit strategy represents a red flag in Ramsey's eyes. Another potential red flag is when your partner hides financial information from you (the extreme end of this is financial infidelity). While you might not talk about money on your first date, you'll want to put your cards on the table as the possibility of marriage enters the relationship and as managing shared finances becomes a part of the equation. If one or both partners can't bring themselves to share their financial situation, it could represent an impasse for the relationship. And it can take multiple conversations and time to work through this new chapter together in a thoughtful and strategic way. Another issue can be being on different timelines. For example, wanting to be mortgage-free by 45 while another individual is okay with delaying this milestone if it means travelling and enjoying life a little more. One option is to enlist the help of a pre-marriage counselor — a suggestion Ramsey made to Mike. Building a joint value framework together that both parties can agree on and make decisions with can help this couple step into their marriage with confidence and not fear.

FBI Confirms Phantom Hacker Warning For All Android And iPhone Users
Beware the Phantom Hacker, FBI warns smartphone users. When the FBI issues a public service advisory, you'd be well advised to take note, in my never humble opinion. Whether the subject of that cybersecurity alert is an attack on routers, the latest ransomware threat warning, or involves a password-stealing, 2FA bypass. Of particular note, however, are the FBI warnings that relate specifically to smartphone users, given how ubiquitous the things are now. The latest has just been posted to the X, formerly known as Twitter, social media platform by the FBI Los Angeles, which warns that a series of phantom hacker attacks can see smartphone users losing their life savings. Here's what you need to know and do. The FBI Phantom Hacker Warning A July 15 posting to X, by the official FBI Los Angeles account, served to remind all smartphone users, be they of the Android or iPhone persuasion, to beware of so-called Phantom Hackers scams. These are the FBI warning outlined, 'where cyber criminals use a 3-prong attack against victims using tech support, financial institution, & government impersonation scams simultaneously.' The payout, if successful? Your life savings. That posting actually references a much older threat, one that was first flagged by the FBI public service announcement, alert number I-091223-PSA, way back in September 2023. Nothing, however, has changed since then, and the fact that the FBI has seen fit to bring the scam back into the public consciousness now should be all the warning that you need to take it very seriously indeed. So, what is a Phantom Hacker scam? Simply put, the FBI explained that the attack layers 'imposter tech support, financial institution, and government personas' in an effort to engender trust in the victim as well as to 'identify the most lucrative accounts to target.' Should you be on the end of such an attack, the FBI warned, victims face 'the loss of entire banking, savings, retirement, or investment accounts under the guise of protecting their assets.' The three-phase attacks comprise: The FBI has requested victims should report these activities to their local FBI field office and the FBI IC3 at

STMicroelectronics (STM) Falls 15.9% on Dismal Q2, Weak Outlook
We recently published . STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM) is one of the worst-performing stocks on Thursday. STMicroelectronics fell by 15.86 percent on Thursday to close at $26.73 apiece as investor sentiment was weighed down by a dismal earnings performance and weak industry outlook amid tariff uncertainties. In its earnings release, STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM) said it swung to a net loss of $97 million in the second quarter of the year from a $353 million net income in the same period last year. Net revenues were also lower by 14.4 percent at $2.766 billion from $3.232 billion year-on-year. Looking ahead, STMicroelectronics N.V. (NYSE:STM) remained cautious about its business outlook for the rest of the year, with revenues for the current quarter expected to decrease by 2.5 percent year-on-year to $3.17 billion, but increase by 14.6 percent on a sequential basis. Photo by Vishnu Mohanan on Unsplash 'While we expect Q3 revenues to show a solid sequential growth … we are still operating amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment.
