Bob and his wife are newly married Baby Step Millionaires — debt-free, $3 million net worth — and have a dream to sell their home and live aboard a $650,000 catamaran, wintering in the Bahamas and moving north with the weather. He's an airline pilot flying twice a month and she works remotely, so the lifestyle is genuinely feasible. Bob explains that marine lenders won't extend more than $100,000 without homeownership, so his plan was to keep the house for six months to qualify for the loan, then sell it. Dave won't bite. [1] — Dave Ramsey "A 52-year-old airline pilot with $3 million net worth and $600K income wants to finance a $650K catamaran as his primary residence. Dave sa…" 53:50 A catamaran is a depreciating toy, not a primary residence, and the Ramsey rule is pay cash. Bob's problem is that his liquid assets outside of IRAs and 401(k)s are only $250,000 — not enough to cover $650,000. The solution Dave offers: sell the house now, rent a penthouse or an apartment for the six-month boat refit, and use the proceeds to pay cash. Rachel reminds Bob that at 52 there's a good chance he'll want a traditional home again someday, so he should be saving cash toward that too.
