We’re $100K in Debt and Living in a Camper | February 4, 2026

From The Ramsey Show

A couple struggles with $100,000 in debt while living in a camper, seeking advice on how to manage their financial situation. They discuss the breakdown of their debts, including a significant truck loan and loans for a camper and car, and consider whether to sell the truck to alleviate their financial burden.

Key Takeaways

  • Housing isn't just a roof—it's a financial anchor. Campers depreciate faster than sci-fi movie plots.
  • Debt at 22? You're not the 'average' millennial; you're the cautionary tale. Let’s rewrite that script!
  • $1,200 for a truck? That’s not a vehicle; that’s an overpriced subscription to financial stress.
  • Minimalist living can be liberating, but being underwater on vehicles is like sailing with a leak.
  • Trading the camper for a rental could be the ultimate money move — living safe beats living free!
