A Sacramento couple is divided over whether to sell cryptocurrency worth roughly $600,000. Sarah wants to cash out enough to pay off their mortgage, while her husband expects the investment to rise further.

The couple owes about $400,000 on its mortgage and $20,000 on a car loan. They bring home roughly $170,000 a year and have three children, but keep only $5,000 in cash savings, according to Sarah’s account on “The Ramsey Show.”

Co-host George Kamel urged them to sell enough to address debt, build emergency savings and diversify. Co-host John Delony said the disagreement also reflected Sarah’s desire for greater financial security; he suggested counseling if the couple could not reach agreement.
