A mother of three called Dave Ramsey seeking advice on her daughter wanting to live in a dorm instead of home during college. She had promised to cover college expenses if they stayed at home, which raises concerns about fairness to her other daughters. Dave Ramsey and his co-host advised that if the oldest daughter wants to dorm, she should pay her own way, as it’s unfair to the siblings and undermines the established family rules regarding finances. They emphasized the importance of consistency in financial decisions to avoid favoritism and unintentional encouragement of irresponsible choices.
"The daughter is opting out of the rules set by her parents, and it’s unfair to the other daughters if she gets funded for dorming while they stay home."
"Dave emphasized that not only should the daughter be responsible for her college expenses if she chooses to dorm, but she shouldn't even receive money for groceries."
