Corey's Baby Step Seven Mortgage Decision — The Ramsey Show

From Stop Letting Emotions Drive Your Money Decisions | April 30, 2026. Category: Opinion. Format: Interview. This is a single keypoint from the analysis.

Corey is nearing Baby Step Seven with only $27,000 left on his current mortgage but is considering a new home with a $350-$375,000 mortgage. Despite the increase, his $300,000 household income and desire to cut commute time make it financially feasible within Ramsey's 25% take-home pay rule for a 15-year fixed mortgage, though it requires a significant psychological shift from being nearly debt-free.

Impact: Medium. This scenario explores the tension between achieving complete debt freedom and making practical life improvements, like reducing commute times, when financially capable of managing a larger mortgage.

In the source video, this keypoint occurs from 01:46:56 to 01:52:46.
