Federal and local authorities in Charlotte have just concluded a major six-month drug trafficking and firearms investigation. But while law enforcement wraps up its sweep, the city's residents are calling into national programs to clean up a different kind of mess: their personal finances.
On The Ramsey Show, host Dave Ramsey spent time addressing the local debt crisis. He introduced a caller by saying, "Liz is with us in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hey, Liz. What's up?" as they prepared to tackle a massive six-figure debt load.
The financial strain in the area was further highlighted when another resident called in to discuss the risks of buying a house before marriage. Dave Ramsey opened the segment by announcing, "Kevin is in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hi, Kevin. How are you?" As the city moves past its recent high-profile police investigation, expect more local residents to focus on securing their own financial borders.
