0:33Hi, my name is Athena and I'm 32 years old. Hi, my name is Carter and I'm 35 years old. We're based out of Oklahoma. And this is Financial Audit. So this has already been interesting because they don't know. We just started filming, but the tension's a little high here. It's been a little testy here. So we're married, right? Yes. Okay. So what's going on in general? I guess I may as well just ask that out of the gate so we can get the picture here. So I love my husband dearly. We've been together almost seven years. We met in May one year, started dating June, got married in November. We're two months pregnant on purpose.

1:15It was now or never for me. When you know, you just kind of know. And he was a very different person back then.

I didn't want to start this relationship Throughout the The time frame of us falling in love Through church and through Guided people he asked me to marry him Three times and I was like you know what this is the Path I don't over with what So he's strictly a addict Yeah So mainly at the end it was At the end of What at the end of all my Addictions because I went through different phases With different stuff so it's finished yeah no well i mean i was messing around with psychedelics it's not that he messes around like um when our daughter was six months old i found him dead on the floor and the last thing the ambulance told me is i don't know if he will live or die but you can follow me how long ago was this about now four and a half years right at the start of COVID.

3:40But at the start of COVID, when I had my third baby, we were in the hospital, I was having a very hard delivery and needed him. And he said he was coming off of a big binge of weeks and couldn't, he was sick to his stomach, couldn't really be there for me. There's been multiple times where we've had these, I love you conversations, but we got to change. We got to be better for our family. We got to give our children, you know, the best lives. Like, I love you no matter what and it's not like I'm telling you what you can and cannot do um but it's to the point where like you need to make a decision if you just want to around with these these things or you want to be with family guys today is a very exciting day because we've put six months of blood sweat and tears into the best investing class you can find anywhere online we've compiled everything from the real experts out there and left out all the bull that other people try to feed you we will show you how to build a portfolio that is not only time-tested, but works for you and your specific situation.

5:12It gets a little crazy. So you don't know my backstory. Um, but before we can, when's the last time you've done. Oh, so the last time I've done any opiate was that time. So four and a half years ago. That was the time I was like. So now it's mostly Kratom, Binges. It could be anything. It could be a Jamba Juice and he's addicted for that week and nothing is going to stop him. Nobody's going to get in his way. I have no idea what the Jamba Juice is. I've never heard of that. Oh, it's originally from California, but it's like a smoothie place. It doesn't matter. With him, it's. She's just saying I have an addictive personality.

5:45To anything. I thought that was a new. Oh, yeah. That's been invented. No, but. So addictive person. I have an addictive personality, which is why I honestly don't allow myself to do a lot of things that fall quickly into addictions. So for you right now, it tends to be, like you said, psychedelics and kratom. You don't think any that's going to accidentally lead you to spiral again with these past addictions? Have you had relapses of any kind in any j**s or anything? Well, yeah, when you're in sobriety, you're supposed to be sober. Yeah, anything counts. If you're going in with the mindset to get messed up.

6:22that is a relapse. How he went off on the four and a half years ago was because I brought a bottle of alcohol into the house for ear infections. My Indian client, she recommended it and it worked great and he didn't think he was an alcoholic but only a f*** addict. He ended up drinking that whole bottle and that's when he was blacked out. the other bad decisions. But like, we've had this heartfelt conversation two weeks ago. I don't think you love me anymore the same as you did and that's okay. Well, what do you do? Don't you smoke? something i do hop a what's that so hop a is unprocessed tobacco ash and different plants from the amazon jungle now two years ago about two years ago i had a massive stroke and then i had a mini one after that and they told me i was going to die there was nothing they could do we went to the emergency room we've done all these testings they gave up on me they said plan your burial plan your life insurance you're gonna do this whatever we both do this but not the same see it's a spiritual plant medicine i actually work for the kuntanawa tribe in the amazon jungle i've been there i've made hape with them um i spiritually distribute i'm one of their guardians in the world are you guys even connected you seem so apart well it's we got in a huge fight um two days ago two days ago i think even yesterday we had a very you decided to come on the show well before that yes have you ever googled yourself i did and man the amount of personal info floating around is just mind-boggling.

This is a finance show, but my little T-curious brain, what was it? What was the fight?

9:05It's just everything. For him, I'm— I think it's a lot of stuff built up over time. He says it's the stress of the kids. So little things will make us blow up, Hannah. Yeah, but he's... I mean, she called you a c***** head in the pre-show interview, essentially. Yeah. What are you going to say when they say, like, your$3 drinks are not a necessity? And he's like, well, crack is cheaper, but I won't be a present father, and you won't have a paycheck coming in. When's the last time you smoked c*****? I've never smoked crack. No, it's... But I don't do those. Okay. I don't know the difference. I've never taken...

9:34She just calls it. Two? I did. He didn't become an adult until two weeks before he met me. when i was like 22 or something i'm 35 now so it's been a minute okay good good good good good good that that's what's uh that's what's important you made it sound like via the interviews and stuff that we had that literally he potentially has smoked recently no he didn't okay well that's how like it was taken his choice you can i don't know if you record the calls was he's been sober but he did die on me one time yeah then i almost died because of health reasons i fixed that by going to an eye treat going into my own body um and i don't believe in any of that stuff i'm very black and white i'm very in sobriety like no cbd no nothing like that's sure all and now i can't sit here and say that it can't help somebody because it healed me but i know that if i die tomorrow and there was five hundred thousand dollars because of my life insurance that i pay sure i don't trust him with the kids and doing the right making the right decision how many kids do we have we have three two together one previous previous who okay but three but three okay wonderful ages three four seven i mean eight sorry she's going up pretty young one going to that middle school life right pretty soon if not already um okay no pretty soon so she's only second grade at eight isn't first grade five i don't know they're stinky and smelly so i'm not kindergarten is five well this is obviously a financial but it is good to get the background stuff that we've uh already received on you so finances in general well first i'm gonna i'm gonna get a finance score for the household because we're still married is this way is like is like the base of this conversation like how close are we to divorce Could this like send it towards that edge?

11:34For him, it's never. And for me, it was always never until like I had this. Like I said, I don't think you love me like you used to love me. And that's okay. Maybe there's a woman for you out there. I love you too much. That I don't love her? Like you used to. I probably don't show it like I used to. Why do you think you don't? Maybe because we're just together all the time with the kids. And I feel like I never get time alone. I'm more introverted and she's more extroverted. But you also don't want time alone. You'd rather sit there and play video games. That's my time alone though. That's like where I get to do what I want for me that makes me happy and fun.

12:09And I don't go out and do things for my own. The only thing I go out and do is help other women stay sober. Go to meetings. Go to meetings. And every time I walk out the door, try and make money. Yeah. So we're both in a stage where we decided to have these kids together. We said it was going to be hard. We knew that we weren't going to have much help. And you signed on for that. And then we had this huge conversation. he cries two weeks ago and then says i know what i need to do i need to take something something and i need to go with him i need to take what is oh the kid two cb two cb it's a whatever psychedelic i don't know it's not new it's just uh no i like for you no but he needed to go inside himself and then the next morning he tells me oh it told me i just need to love you more and but also need to not quit my games because i'll resent you well no You set your intention and you go into it.

12:58And then during the trip, as your mind is wandering these different directions, you realize what it is you need to walk. And I can't say that it... Have you guys seen a therapist together? I have tried for years to go to counseling. Why have you not? He doesn't want somebody to tell him he's wrong. It's not that. You said that exactly. We have kids, so we don't get a babysitter to have fun. How are we going to get it to do other stuff? We can't even get babysitters right now for both of us to have jobs at the same time. it's very hard so i just don't see how it's gonna work in house maybe well i i also someone who could come to you oh i also suggested that we can go one-on-one but again too expensive we don't have money for that but we have money for world of warcraft we have money for stupid like i've tried all this for my wife i got one massage this year no we're gonna go into this because he can't seem to let it go i got one massage this year okay and every birthday every christmas every Mother's Day.

13:54I'm gifted gifts from other people because he never gives me anything, okay? He goes, oh, I didn't have any money or I couldn't. Or I couldn't write you something. I didn't have any money? You guys, are you not combined? We are combined. But he just spends. He just spends. She makes it sound like I spend way more. If you look, since we moved to Oklahoma, I've only spent stuff on food. Since Oklahoma. Maybe like I spent 25 bucks on the game one time. So we spent about$8 ,000 to move here. That buried us, the move. But why didn't we move? When was the move? Two and a half months ago. February. Oh, wow.

14:26And why was the move? Why was the move? Why are we not going to our original plan to go see my daughter in Florida and be with my daughter? Is this another one or is that? My daughter, the eight-year-old, she lives with her dad right now. Oh, okay, okay. She has dyslexia and they're trying to get her extra help that we can't afford. Yeah, her dad makes more money. And we were supposed to go straight to Florida. We agreed on this as a family, like, you know, us, like, how do you call it? The initial family. and then he went on a binge with and um saying he was gonna go within himself and he never uses it going inside ourselves that's very interesting he never uses anything like it's meant to be done i can't sit here and say it doesn't work for some people the people out there getting help with it i've seen it cure ptsds i've seen it do a lot of things it saved my freaking life i'm not going to sit here and judge you if you need to go do it but all i've seen is he went into a bitch for 20 something hours he fried his brain and his grandma was like you need to go to your dad in oklahoma and you need to he's got a job for you which he didn't have a job for him but he got him a job okay that's where we're at so now i'm screwed my hair license hasn't transferred okay and i don't have a job right now so i'm making money i have a little book i've made a thousand almost two thousand dollars this month with my kids in my hands so i don't want to hear you don't make money you don't try you don't have a job because even on the sidelines do you not have a job what do we do right now she does a bunch of i do healing i do floors and i don't like to say i'm a healer i'm not that i do healing uh with the hoppe um i go i've the tobacco i've helped a lot of women and men okay and you do floors yeah like flooring though like it's not epoxy it's a different polyurea i think but it's the flake in the garage yes how much do you make a month about what was it like 2600 he yeah he dropped his pay from 3 000 but after the taxes and stuff it's like he used to get paid 35 dollars an hour that's gonna happen california's cost 11 but he's also so good and as a wife you know you want to you want the best for your spouse and you can you you commit them and you push them to do better and he even started his own little company in california and then it kind of seemed like he why oklahoma because his dad's here and his dad is supposed to set him straight so the main reason was i came straight into a job which that's not the main reason the main reason was everybody was worried that you're gonna go out and use again but that's why Oklahoma was we needed to work if we went to Florida that you had no guarantee I would have my hair license right away because you don't need are you not afraid that the stress of this this back and forth this fighting it is gonna lead to any because you you just said the fear is that he would go back into using something but at this point like that's your choice at this point you have it you have an obligation to your wife and to your kids just like I have an obligation to you and even if you're not stressed out he needed a reason to do it so what's your excuse now well i'm not gonna do it this time because i've learned a lot from all my past times you know how many times i've heard that i don't know it just makes me a little nervous because i think the successful rate of people getting off of opiates is about one percent so i've seen it happen over and over i've seen successes i've been one of the successes through alcohol i get it's not the same as but it's not it's it's it's harder i get that and that's why i don't alcohol it doesn't work for opiates well there's na yeah and aa is part of na and actually a lot of people that go na don't have a success rate so they go to aa and they were able to quit because aa is stricter and aa has different guidelines and all i'm saying is i love you dearly and we don't usually bicker this much about it but it's all been coming out and i'm very happy in oklahoma i can make it work like i just i was crying about it but then i'm like you know what my life's here my husband's here i will find a way to provide bring my daughter here if she wants to come over here her dad said she's going to leave it to her as you know when she gets to a reasonable age like 11 if she wants to be with mom still trying to loop us back to finance what do you bring in normally averagely sounds like maybe we've had a good month but normally what's your average before that was 1500 with no job too okay so let's say 15 then but yeah are you setting anything aside for taxes not yet um well because i have no spare money because i gave the finance well that's not spare money regardless okay so that's money you owe i gave the finances back to him after my stroke after i filed for bankruptcy we tried uh bankruptcy yeah i filed for bankruptcy when did you file for bankruptcy 2000 the beginning of 2023 we um after i got a year ago a year and a half maybe it's maybe almost two years now um yeah we can explain why the majority of the debts in your name and not yours but well no i paid off most of his debt we put everything onto mine we we were gonna pay it off um we started a bigger hair salon i had a business i had a successful business for seven years like she wanted to move to her own suite out of the landlord mini ones and kind of this over he said he doesn't work with women have your husband costing us a ton of money the roof started leaking there was no hot water we were buying into this but luckily I fought for it.

19:24We got out of it. But initially my biggest regret, which still it's a learning lesson, it's not a regret, is I didn't hire a lawyer to look at the contract. So it said I was responsible for Roof and everything, even though it's his responsibility. Okay. How many hours a week do you work right now? I don't. Well, like on the side. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's your income. I usually make about$100 an hour. So 15. Hours a week, you? Me. I get paid for 40 but I usually work about 30 maybe now one thing that did concern me a little I don't I just have to call this out of just like a high horse thing we talk about what we do in each other's free times and you say well you play video games while I go and volunteer like if you're choosing a volunteer that's great but I don't I don't think I don't think it's fair to say okay because I'm doing this high and mighty thing it's bad that the other person's not free time um no so volunteering like for my sobriety going to meetings does not count as fun time it's it's for our sobriety it is essential well you have you guys made it sound like that's what you do when you have free time though well because well i said she watches and also there are like when we're talking about seeing therapists and stuff i mean since covid everything's has remote options just on a webcam our kids are very wild so it's very hard you don't watch them i think something tells me something tells me a marriage therapist will be okay with you having to get up every once a while be like yo what's the joke yeah i don't think he's gonna argue they are wild and free i'm very fine never meeting them as well yeah but no they're just we almost had to bring him because we got canceled on like seven times for babysitters like really so you got babysitters this time we got a babysitter you're also you said you wanted to be close for uh your parents can they not help at all his dad just had a baby yeah so he's in his own little world right now He made it sound like he would and then he doesn't so much His his biggest preventing us from getting to Florida if that's the main goal He relapsed he relapsed well you said you didn't realize no that was It's not a relapse He relapsed on a bunch of and psychedelics and fried his brain.

21:35I moved out. I said I'm not staying here I'm not watching this. I'll take my kids Okay, when's the last time you did that? when was that a couple weeks ago okay all right household score i want you to say it at the same time i'm gonna go three two one go at go you are gonna give me what you think the household financial score is zero being the worst possible score 10 being the best possible score so i'm gonna count down and i want you to give it to me at the same time three two one three i'd say a one maybe okay this is different than his first seven when we came here yeah that's because i watched the show and i saw you prepared yeah i was like no why do you think it's worse why do you think it's better i only think it's a three because i've been on my own since i was 17 and what you guys have been married for like but i've been on my own without my parents yeah she moved out of her parents house early and then at 17 you said yeah at 17 okay so when i raised a baby as a single mother um her dad separated um i've always paid my bills on time before the bankruptcy went How does this make you a three?

22:43Because I survived and I still, I find ways to go out and make it. So I know financially we're screwed. I get that. Yeah, but it's literally a score of where you're at, not how powerful you are or whatever. No, it's not that I'm powerful. I'm just saying, like, I've managed to not miss a payment. Like, I've always paid everything. Well, that's the bare minimum. That's why they're called minimum monthly payments. Well, when he adds debt and then I don't see it and then I have to pay. Okay. What, you go out and add debt that she doesn't know? I don't even add debt, though. So she keeps out. If you look, you see through our stuff.

23:14Go through it. We both don't spend. I've spent maybe like$200 frivolously since we moved to Oklahoma. If you watch your Hammer Financial Score, it's free. Description below.

23:49Yeah. Mostly for mine is for, you know, hair stuff and business, which again, I usually pay off right away. But then when I started taking the finances back, when I started watching this show and I started looking in, he didn't even know when his payments were. And there was some deferred interest that he signed up for. Have you ever taken care of your finances ever? uh slightly i set up autopay why did you take care of it well why'd you take so you took over because of the stroke yeah yeah before that i was managing it when was the stroke one more time about two years ago okay when were you just back to i mean i just took him back like around six months ago when i found out he had this deferred interest for paypal deferred interest for best so what were you doing well some of that was her purchases i get it some of them were mine but when they just it's like six months some of them were a year later so you have to take responsibility like i told you and i tell you and then she said why did i pay more than the minimum like we have no money to pay more than the minimum why do you guys have no money why do you guys have no money every time we do have money he thinks it's like okay we can go out and eat um we can go get on my red bulls especially in california my yerba mate's every single day like i used to drink what do you call it starbies um a lot and i stopped because my family's more important okay Okay.

I've never cheated on you. Well, to be very clear, being bad with finances doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. You're not. Unless you're putting yourself over someone else or other people. so it's not like considering each other bad people $1 ,687.82 minimum monthly payment $56.31 but again yes if we're putting over our children and stuff yes that would make you a bad person like we had assistants for food and he would spend a lot of it on energy drinks and to me that's like you have to make a sacrifice of not drinking that and providing for your family so I said I told her I said it's cheaper than oh great and at least he'll be present and have a paycheck but that's his humor and it's humorous to most people it's funny to me because that's not I'm not addicted to it anymore but if I said that years ago it wouldn't have been as funny but you are addicted to yerba mate's and you have to have it okay $43 of purchases only making the minimum monthly payment and $40 of interest accrued Amazon Prime Amazon Prime Apple bill and chick-fil-a why are we still going to chick-fil-a if we don't have money why do we where are we shopping on amazon if we don't have money why are we getting things on apple in-app purchases if we don't have money we don't go to chick-fil-a anymore oh yeah amazon really because that's the most recent statement that's literally within the most recent you chick-fil-a is where he went where do you think he went it's chick-fil-a that's you okay take a chill pill bring it down i love you but um amazon prime so i've never ordered anything but he says we pay something because of um there's two things on it's like an ad for you stupid two things i told you to delete that watch your ads i watch the show taquitos taquitos taquitos yeah i did i did put that one on there this is all you and then apple music it's that's probably what that is what the i will say though i've i've i will say open up your subscriptions it's on your phone i know It might be her extra space on her phone because she fills it up.

But it wasn't even just that because then you went$2 ,238 of purchases right now. Right now. We didn't have a place to live for the first four days. $7 ,000.

water was off every other day and having they did that for this conversation immediately already sounds like the okay well here's the thing oh that doesn't work because of this oh here's the thing oh

they have no choice but to wait 30 more days all of our stuff got ruined if we would have stayed there 30 more days with cockroaches running around in daylight but you still spent hotel money and this stuff could you not spend hotel money at that area in that area for the 30 days i would have loved to stay i would have loved to stay if we were supposed to make but we made a decision for my daughter who's eight years old and needs her mother didn't make it to florida we didn't make it to florida because i'll say why because i didn't want to move there with no job nowhere to live and not even my dad at least with my dad we could stay there a little bit if florida we have we can only stay three days and then he was gone yeah so oh geez 142 dollar monthly payment on this again$2 ,238

have never paid for my nails hair anything i do everything myself well good that's what i was about to be on you about excuse me i lied i got my nails done one time because she did them for free for two and a half years i paid her one time when i went to la that's pretty cool and she only gave me she made me pay forty dollars and i was happy to pay it two years of free nails okay what do we have this car a 2020 kia telluride telluride yes i don't know the tell telluride look up a picture it's a very good car um our car got totaled he got smashed into and pushed into a semi and i'm glad you're okay it totaled our car we waited a long time to find a new car but eventually it came to the day where grandma said you got to find your guys's car and i went to a dealership and wait why does grandma because she lent us we had it for a few weeks and she wanted it expensive car um actually we got a really great deal on it yes the interest is i've heard a lot of people say that and we're at 72 months i lowered it like four thousand dollars from what they wanted and they were the only person actually in la oh you lowered it by four thousand girl they're not gonna take a loss on it i know buddy that was baked in no they he the guy who was trying to sell it to me was like my boss would never go crazy so i walked right up to your boss which is what every car salesman says in the history of the world no he was very angry i walked right up to the back office and i said hey dude and he's like you know i like you buddy i've worked in sales i've played that game a thousand i'm sure i'm sure there's a game to it like oh my goodness my boss would never allow this please don't talk to my boss please don't talk to my boss over there who will definitely not do this angry was that guy i don't really remember i don't know which one there's like five oh my gosh i'm so angry that my boss has helped me close this sale gosh i can't believe you just got this deal oh man that's how he was and i mean we're we're guessing the interest rates like 16 what is it no 12 i think that were less than that was it it was i had to be under his credit because i filed for bankruptcy okay we know for sure yes i'm pretty certain it's 12 it's not on his paper We did have a smaller car before it got totaled, but our car seats wouldn't actually close on the door because we had three car seats.

33:07So it was actually. Well, yeah, not even an option. Well, back then we had less debt too. So back then. Back when? What year? 2020, after I filed for the bank. Right before, no, after I filed for the bankruptcy. Yeah. So you just declared bankruptcy and you thought you were good with finances? well again i was it was all for business but before that i had 32 credit cards i paid them all in time never had interest on any of them so you went through bankruptcy i yes so and i'm not ashamed of it because it's not about a shame thing but it's like saying we were good we were how good was i with the finances before we went through bankruptcy before we got before we went through bankruptcy well the thing that bankrupted her was the sludge yeah so it sounds like we weren't a good business owner no it was the the building they literally put heads in they so it's always someone else's no they from everything i've heard it's always they collapsed the roof with water water came out on us where was your insurance i had insurance so again everything's always someone else's fault we called our insurance and they said you are not covered for this building and i said but i have it under this then you didn't do your insurance correctly you didn't do due diligence they refunded me though they refunded me said so sorry we don't know what happened there was a glitch you did it online when we called you something happened but we are not responsible because i have like a business attorney look over it what can you do have a business attorney look over you have to pay money when you did but before you signed your insurance to make sure you're good i just went through the actual insurance i just signed up that day remember the day i got this law i signed up for it and they told me okay we're gonna refund you all the stuff that just happened and then they called us and said sorry you're not covered well they're always trying to get out of it it says they do insurance is always a battle it's a fight it says 12 percent on the car 12 percent okay yeah so this is our good deal car 12 739 minimum monthly payment at 72 months with a balance of 33 440 dollars good deal okay do we have a vin do we have anything have you given us the vin can you get us the vin we have the vin i sent it to them would you like me to just look it up again uh yep nope they're calculating right now we're gonna get what you think how is the condition of the car how are we looking pretty good besides um he he used to park on top of my motorcycle handle so there's a few scratches in the front but that's all the kids of the inside how are we doing making these payments because this is a large chunky payment it is um so we are doing good making that we actually try to make an extra payment and then when we called them and said how do you make the extra payment on just the principal they said just pay it we did and then they took interest out of it.

35:48They just kept if you have to send them an actual physical check otherwise they just keep putting it through there and taking their interest out. Interesting. So the yeah if you don't send it in then they're getting their money. Now I hate saying this is my fault but when I got sick I upped my life insurance because. You hate saying something is your fault? No I just hate saying that like it's my fault that I got sick. Oh okay. Because you can't control that right? Okay sure. You can't control having a stroke whatever. um but i upped my life insurance because were you doing anything that was like physically unhealthy like smoking anything like that i don't drink i don't smoke at all you did for a while though right well yeah she's very rarely though i never never i do tend to agree with you i just i always play devil's advocate i mean there are lifestyle things that we can do that make it less they actually couldn't figure out why um they even said it was really rare again i'm not saying that in your situation but just because you said we can never control getting sick it's like okay i mean I mean, I can control me having less chance of having heart disease, but I'm a fat f***er who's like, can't stop shoving McFries down his throat.

36:51So like, yes, I do have more control on that. No, no, of course. I'm talking about like a seizure or like, you know, things like that. I'm just a natural f***y devil's advocate. It's okay.

I upped my life insurance, and so I'm still trying to understand it. I pay a lot a month. But also my daughter, when she went with her dad, I needed life insurance on them because she's on planes. A lot of planes going back and forth. She was. And so I just wanted. So the safest travel method?

38:44He's just lazy. He would rather. So now it's about him, not planes. I actually were going to go pick her up. And he was like, no, that's not a good idea. You should just have me fly her out. Like, why would you drive? He's saying planes are the safest travel method. So why did she leave off the street? Oh, why are they the safest? Oh, I don't know. Statistically, they are. Oh, well, that's great. But as a mother, and you want to, if anything ever happened to your children, be able to bury them without donations. No, of course. But you did that because she's on planes? Well, I upped her insurance.

39:16She worries about planes a lot. No, not really. But I upped her insurance when she started going on planes. Okay. I upped it from$50 ,000 to, I think,$100 ,000. Now, where did we get the money to pay off this PayPal credit? Because it was a chunky thing, and then it just got paid off. We got a tax return and when I saw the deferred interest, he said, let's just let it slide. And I said, absolutely not. We'll just, we'll make. Tax return probably with decent child tax credits. And they're actually missed. They missed it. I just got a letter. They're going to send me like$3 ,000. Yeah, they messed up.

39:44We didn't get a lot back this year. Did you fully claim all your taxes though? Because I know you're not setting anything aside for taxes right now. Yes, I don't. I didn't. Yeah, I claimed. I claimed all mine. Yeah, I claim everything. My Venmo, everything. You're going to be claiming this year? Because. I do. I don't cheat the system. I just don't like to. She has a good tax lady. I hope not. I have a really good tax lady though. And I do put a lot of my own. Like as a business owner. Also you're underwater in your car by$8 ,000. It's worth$25 ,000. Yeah. Okay. That's what I looked at all the way here.

40:14We love our car and we're willing to work harder to pay it off faster. And yeah. Nothing like an engine surrounded by some pieces of metal to fall in love with. That is the American way, ladies and gentlemen. It's comfortable to drive though. we're absolutely grateful we have a car good uh i would take uh that that that makes sense why'd you decide to throw the the the tax credits and everything the refund you got the deferred interest was like 300 something dollars if we didn't pay it okay so i said it's like yeah i said let's make a sacrifice then here comes his best buy bill and he said more deferred interest and so i just paid 300 something on that so our checking count for like the last week has been 22 and 33 cents and i'm willing to make sacrifices it's no problem for me but here we are i needed a red bull today i love you so is it is it's paid and she said buy the three for a no i just said i know you're gonna buy one on the way home so please just oh my gosh okay is there a balance on this card right now on which one which paypal credit um i don't think i think the deferred interest was 2 000 you gotta tell i think we paid it all off and then i may have used it a couple times for like that was the that can i see it can you pull it up yeah it might have been like food or something so he thinks brahms is nine dollars for a bag of burgers and it is true like it's cheaper i've gotten hot dogs all the time not not until we moved but i don't eat meat actually so i'm not eating any of that just so you know i just i'm a vegan oh okay and i love That's the most vegan thing you've ever said.

41:52Like every vegan has to somehow announce in the conversation that they're like, that had nothing to do with this conversation. No, but you said you guys keep going to Brahms and you like Brahms. I don't like Brahms. Is Brahms only meat? Yeah. Only? Hebrugers and chicken. That's all it is. That's all it is. Unless you want ice cream. I don't do dairy either. So. Stairs. Maybe it's the one time a vegan calling themselves out being a vegan made sense then. Well, she eats Chick-fil-A too. Well, I used to. Not anymore. they actually change their meat company. Sometimes, listen, if I'm starving and I could eat rice and beans, I've done it in the Amazon jungle for two weeks.

42:29I've done it in Peru. My mom lived in a third world country. I've been to that country. I've lived out there. I could eat beans and rice every day. I can make my family beans and rice every day. He thinks that I am punishing our family by making rice and beans. It will not feed him. When did you go to the jungle? Last year. I'm a guardian. How did you afford to go to the jungle? Obviously credit cards. okay so you couldn't afford to go to the jungle well no i paid most of 78 dollars i've we still have a lot of credit card debt so no we couldn't afford it that's what's gonna see what the purchase were on yeah i could tell you it was world of warcraft it auto-renewed without me knowing i swear to god and you see my hobbies are free i don't pay attention to it and then i noticed it like a couple weeks after it auto-renewed i don't mind play without spending is this the online service is that yeah you just it's a monthly service fee that you have to pay and it's cheaper if you pay i paid six months in advance because it's you 12 instead of 15 i don't mind hobbies when we have money i i get it um and i don't mind alone time but a he has alone time ends up being 3 30 in the morning he has to go to work or this last night he played till what time oh only 3 30 and we had to leave i couldn't sleep though what was the impact on you in that situation well the fact that I have to deal with the kids and I have 3.30 I get up and I do the stuff that I'm supposed to do I go to bed with them and I put them to bed last night I put them to bed too what are you talking about all I'm saying is who gives a f*** I give a f*** because then he doesn't want to go to work if he still does what he needs to do But he does it when he starts.

44:12He starts. He just said he did, though. He starts. And then the next day. Okay. He literally just said he did. So I don't know what I'm doing. You'll start something, right? And then it'll be like, oh, it's just today and today. Right? And then it slowly goes. And then it's all of a sudden, I'm tired. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do that. Like, you guys are stressing me out. Well, you played video games all night. You weren't responsible. Now I have to take care of it. I only do that once or twice a week. I don't do that every day.

45:37I charge$111 for what I do. It's not fake. Trust me. I don't I didn't say you couldn't make any money off of spreading that. Everyone can make money off of anything. You want to tell? I've seen her heal people with it. You think I chose that? You think I chose to? She knows that you couldn't really know. And the person's like, how the hell did you know that? That's what I've seen. And how have I helped them? Fine, tell me something. about myself oh it doesn't really work it doesn't oh it has to be the convenience stuff yes only when it works it's only when it comes to her randomly she can't and it's not randomly it's usually when i do hop a my higher self will talk to your higher self i can i can serve you right now buddy and you're gonna regret it okay do you want to get served wait wait what do you mean what is it how does it work i blow it through your nose no i don't want that i don't want grabs all your energy i don't want that you to mother earth and she's gonna come out caleb that you've been holding in your body.

48:28So what are we buying? I don't know. Let's pull up Amazon and find out. I remember I bought the stuff to kill any cockroaches in our couch, like some powder. Okay, so you bought anti-fungus, and then you bought the cockroach stuff, and you bought batteries. Were those bought recently? February. February, March. There's only been two things purchased. In the month of March, there were six things through Amazon as a company. That's what I'm saying. I don't know what we're Are they renting movies? Oh we did buy a movie Remember? Amazon's a large thing in general Did we donate to Twitch? No we don't I think one's probably the prime cost For getting prime It's like 7 bucks It's 3 dollars and then 7 If you don't want ads So they build it all separately He's a gamer And I enjoy that when we have money I know you might hate this, but live like no other.

49:28So one day you can live like no other. Why would I hate that? Because it's Dave Ramsey and I know you don't agree with him. I like Dave. Oh, you do? Okay. I saw one episode where you're like, I don't agree with him. Well, on the$1 ,000 specifically. Oh, okay. And one size fits all. I like to be more nuanced. But no, I mean, he's helped literally millions of people. He helped me through. I went through a church program. And like I said, I got out of debt. And I've done it multiple times over and over. and obviously we're we're when we get money we're being responsible we're not just wasting most of it but I don't understand anything past after you get out of debt what to do because I was never taught but in the next crater clash Dave Ramsey and I are gonna we're gonna fight in the ring good luck to both of you yeah good luck to Dave I'd fight George but he's short that'd be unfair okay freedom him his specifically you're not on this at all no no it's that's under his name yeah okay you're not on this no we probably both again we just use whatever card oh boy 961 we are not organized at all are we 961 dollars 94 cents this is okay i've improved a lot our dead body is gonna fly out of that book when you open it i've improved a lot um when i first became on my own because i was not allowed to control the finances with my last uh with the father of my first child he was the breeder whatever manly man of all men breeder breadwitter i don't know what you call it so i had a fun bucket money which was all ones fives tens and twenties and hundreds once a bill so since then again i write a list of all the bills we have that i understand and know of besides subscriptions or anything he has i put the minimum for a second for the camera that this is the organization that's the minimum payments the interest if they're interest-free when we have to pay them off how much we're paying and after listen it's a step it's a step and i actually am glad that you did that this is that i feel like that's very hard to track being on the kind of like a torn up piece of paper but that does no this is just a copy of it i didn't bring the legit one oh okay i was gonna say but that does show like actual effort and i am happy and he hates it every month i go can we sit down he hates it no why we gotta sit down why aren't you sitting you gotta sit down doesn't want to do it you gotta just be a fucking adult be a man be a big boy i'm not responsible i know i'm not he literally became a man when he met me because he was dangle some world of warcraft over his head that would actually i've offered him incentives blow his during world of warcraft if he can just like i am an incentive person i am all for my husband i cannot give him any more love than i've already given him he's gotta he's gotta either do this on his own or he's not going to want to do it he's just going to fall back into a pattern of sabotaging and nobody i kind of just feel like it's so impossible sometimes i'm just like i do it i watch the kids i work with them in my hands i come home i help you we both do it but you gotta just put in a little more effort we gotta do it together we're supposed to be a team we're on the same team i know all right first time we've talked about under desk on this show it's a new one you should try it world of warcraft who says i how you keep them ladies not that i have the not that people think it yeah because we're talking about divorce okay 21.76 of interest accrued on this one minimum monthly payment was made no purchases thank the first time ever 961.94 is the balance you just said on two of them ago there was no purchases first purchase ever no he said no purchases but then there was but then there was we pulled up the paypal app but there was one before that you said no purchases dude I don't know this conversation I feel like I've already inhaled your essence of whatever toxins you want to put in the air okay best buy that one's probably not very good right now what I said that one's probably not very good it's not very good somebody broke his headphones one thousand eight hundred sixty three dollars worth of headphones no no that was 150 but 40 cents okay uh buying food the tv the raider of the tv about a few years ago is out there minimum payment was made but then we purchased 348 97 cent dollars what are we doing to 17 cents so 17.61 inches of grain the only thing i approved of was the ipad because the kids broke it and we only under warranty for so long so we had to get it fixed before i have the screen but um so that was like 50 bucks so the 50 bucks for a screen protector and I'm fighting them on the screen protector because they told me that was life guarantee and I fought that man and he was so mean I just said hey man this is covered and he ripped it off you don't want it then don't get it and I was like bro I just was asking you a question it's supposed to be lifetime guaranteed and he's like oh the actual screen protector is and I'm like then can I get it you were pleasant I am a very pleasant person okay but you're a little aggressive sometimes You come at me?

I want to understand as much as I can because if anybody's going to take the knowledge home, it's going to be me and try and change. So far, I'm learning it's everyone else's fault. Yes. High five. Best Buy Total. Why do we have a yearly subscription to Best Buy right now? Oh, because our TV broke and actually... We just can't afford everything. They've replaced it every time. Yeah, the extended warranty. I should get rid of it, but I have used it. I got a whole new TV. They keep replacing our TV because something keeps going out.

55:58And so we were going to cancel this year, but what if it goes out again? Then it goes our TV. Gosh, it just really sucks. We just don't have money. I can get rid of it. And you know what? If we don't have a TV, we don't have a TV. Yeah, I mean, go work instead of... We have another TV. I did apply to a lot of jobs, and I'm waiting to hear back. How many jobs? I know you think this is not good because it's not a lot of jobs, but with this... Well, you said a lot, so... Yeah, five. Well, for her, that's a lot. That's not a lot? Well, no, because... For her, that's a lot. I can only work at certain hours.

56:26Okay. What hours? The evenings. Okay. There's only five places? Well, no. On top of that, I tried to get a job that would help us get out of debt. So I guess it's called Texas Roadhouse. And they wanted military personnel, but they asked me if I could wait a week so that their training thing and they'll let me know in a week. So I stopped the process with everybody else. So this happened a week ago? Yeah. So I stopped because in the beginning we came here and I said, hey, I could be a bus driver. He said, that's not going to work with my schedule. How who's going to take him to kids? Who's going to take him?

56:57So then I worked DoorDash. You know, it's my choice instead of all the herbal stuff. That honey cinnamon butter in Texas Roadhouse. I've never been there, so I don't. I'm happy to serve you steaks. That owns this world. And you can conquer nations. Really? so i i apply i wanted to apply at like four different jobs and it weren't convenient for him and then last week he finally was like yeah you're right go get a job okay so so mission lane yep 81.74 minimum payment oh it's close to maxed out 56 dollars and 74 cents of interest again 172 dollars of purchases more than the minimum with the payment what are we doing the balance went up on our contents of growing interest what is this oh t and above a place and then the So that's getting supplies.

57:46Yes. But we're purchasing that on two carts that we can't pay off. Why does that make sense? That doesn't make sense. Well, I need the products to be able to do the hair. So it's a big investment. But then you start making money. I've only been here two and a half months. I've taken five clients on the side waiting for my license. Yeah, but why on the credit cards, though? Why do I have the credit cards? No, why on the credit cards versus like in our checking account? We didn't have the cash. We don't have$2 ,000. It's big purchases you have to buy in bulk. It's like$150. It's usually a lot more.

58:13I've been trying to wait till the deals go. She's found some sales, so she bought extra. And I do have a lot of product that I am from LA getting rid of from my salon. So we didn't technically lose out, but it's going to take a while for me to sell off all these products. It's true. If we sold all this, I would have a lot of money. It just keeps going. Ally card. I think that is not the mattress. No, it's my mattress. $800.78. And that went down. I paid a good chunk. $27. These were the cards I was going to pay off until we had your deferred interest.

No more debts. Oh, we do have one that I did not bring up. It's not really a debt. Okay, so his grandma has given us money and... Whenever we're short, she'll let us borrow. She's always just come in and save the day for him or buys him something he needs or for the kids if she feels like they're not...

She doesn't want it back. But I don't feel right. It's probably$3 ,664. Like that's our only go to if we needed help is his 80 year old grandma who's awesome and she out outdoes me at 80. Can I say something? Yeah, she does because she only has, you only have$23.22 in your checking account. Now we have like 100, but your poor plant needs some light. Dude, what are you talking about? It's dying. You're talking about that little piece of brown?

1:01:18That was on this plant since we've bought the plant. Okay, but do you keep it only indoors? Buddy, we have these sunlights that are on it all night. Okay. Look at the whole plant. The whole plant, except for the parts that have been brown since the day we bought are doing great. all this new growth this is luscious green yes in a lot of your videos I see that I'm like does it ever go away I think that part came dead have you ever told it how I know it's a plant but have you ever thanked it for the oxygen it gives you no because I'm not a freak there's a sun lamp right there there's sun lamps over there we take care of the plants these lights help this plant is beautiful growing um pothos they can just survive anything right so i don't know i put basil outside and killed it yeah i cannot save plants but i can save people you can you can burn them and inhale them it doesn't work like that you don't burn them at all okay it's pretty much nothing oh good here we go yeah 800 bucks in this one and there was a place to stay at some lodge and then starbucks starbucks starbucks that was yeah way back then when we were drinking starbucks we don't do it anymore yeah way back then like a month ago no it's been two and a half months i did buy somebody a starbucks because they were supposed to babysit for us and then um somebody took over because she couldn't do the night shift so expensive t-mobile i'd switch to helium so okay question we took in a kind man um his one of his co-workers he came from turkey um great dude his family is trying to come over here um somebody like stole his money how do you say it so he was trying to rent a place they showed him a house and he paid him a down payment and they stole his money and it wasn't their house and so he wasn't used to the culture of california so we took him in um after two months of him being really good and you know he was just sleeping on our couch our cockroach infested couch poor man he started smoking weed and started stumbling and so we're like hey we love you but we're gonna release you with love and you have to go figure things out because if you stay here you're just gonna stop wanting to work and everything and we gave him we connected a phone line so he has his own phone he's paying it every month he pays 35 every month but we don't we can't think I think we can't cancel it until his phone is paid off which I think it was two years and it's already been like a year but he said he'll do whatever he said my friend whatever you need let me know you've always been there for me you guys are the kindest people i've ever met yeah i mean i would just try to get him to do it on his own i would try he could probably pay the bill i can ask him if he'll pay the balance but he pays 35 i mean you can get out of the contract his actual total is 25 we charge him an extra 10 just in case he did run off we'd have that back thing okay starbucks city bites taco bell coffee hibachi whole foods is an expensive way to eat for people who do not have money especially since it kind of tastes we have a lot of no we have a lot of restrictions i cook a lot i cook a lot but we have a lot of restrictions my daughter can't have basically sugar like white sugar my son's allergic to cinnamon like refined sugar she gets very and only whole foods doesn't have sugar no but they just have better options they have better options when we cook like or we just everything's organic i don't drink like i like i don't drink starbucks or i get really ill if i drink starbucks now since the stroke so um sometimes sometimes it's not coffee sometimes she buys sometimes i buy the kids food if we're traveling around because like i said the first time we didn't have a place to cook we didn't everything had to be eating out starbucks is the food place they like the um the the impossible sandwich but we don't like again we found out the ingredients and cake pops well they usually get free cake pops everywhere they go they get kava going inside a gas station getting some taco bell uh liquor store might not be liquor though i know i i buy wine for the food my mom has proven we cooked with a little bit of wine just kava taco bell so once every eight months chick-fil-a so going out spinning the ball

1:05:40oh yeah did you put the mattress thing down huh is the mattress thing on there the synchrony i just barely filled out how to get access to that card i can tell you what it is it's 1500 and i made a hundred dollars there's no interest if we do it in 12 months 12 months from one so i paid a hundred last month so 11 months okay he couldn't somehow they think they need to pay 136 dollars towards an hour on monthly basis they put our old address or something because they said that we wouldn't get approved if we put a new address this is another bed no so i put partial payment on one card what was that one thousand dollars we saw for our matches that's the partial payment it was two thousand oh and then they opened that card and that was the rest of the last time i bought a mattress was 15 years ago i don't give a you can get a cheap mattress where where in literally any mattress store when i went and got a mattress i got a 300 queen size mattress oh i think it's because maybe we have a king bed frame buddy i would find semen on the floor i've said oh you say that no one just got a 300 you say that as well his dad did say he got a 400 nectar or something and we should have said he got one off the internet it's like a top of your feet why didn't we do that nectar is what i have now once i upgraded yes oh guys we're just beyond unorganized beyond irresponsible it's just okay okay i would call sleeping necessary yeah i don't think and i'm saying it has to be that expensive necessary yeah it's big enough for everybody to sleep total progress made on debt overall net was 502 where really$3 ,624 with new charges and new interest on all the debts is what we saw.

1:07:32Is that in this last month or? It's one of the statements that we have, which is only a month's time. Most recent statements. Are we going to budget together as a couple? Are we staying together? What are we even doing? I never said I don't like to say those words. But where are we? Where are we actually headed, George? So I can know what I think you should do. My goal is to be together forever. And to get through the hard times, you know, when you marry somebody. Multiple few hundred dollar king. When you marry somebody, you say through sickness and through health. He's sick. A lot of people say it and 50 percent of them go back.

1:08:04So what are we doing? Well, it's up to I'm through sickness and health. Sounds like up to you because he's it sounds like he wants to stay together forever. Yeah. But then he's what you said. Yeah. But then he's also going to be like, but I won't be here for you. I'll just be my own little world. So that's not. Are we staying together? Of course. I want to. OK. But I got to we got to put in the work together. like can't do everything i'm stressed the f*** out yeah yeah yeah i'm stressed

1:08:31ground yourself man girl i'm as grounded as i f*** could be i am right here no your shoes are on you're not grounded go hug a tree it will make you feel better it sucks but it doesn't actually one time she told me that and i said shut the f*** up and then i went and did it shut the f*** up i did it and i actually felt better i was like probably because you went outside yeah we were outside when she told me that already sun on you we he was already outside and she's like f*** that tree i don't like to hug the trees either bro but god given earth also what is this meta zoo thing that you guys spend thousands of dollars it's a freaking car game i hate you metazoo you at the start it was great we bought a box 100 bucks it was selling for like 900 so at first we're like oh like we just made nine times our money but now the price dropped and it's so he bought he went in a rampage of buying a lot of them and so if you can't beat him you outsmart him so whatever he bought i bought when we had this this money this free money come in from covet or whatever because we didn't get a we didn't get a payout for nine months or something then we had some money we were all our cards were paid and i said okay if you want to do this investment but he was opening in them so whatever he bought i made sure he put one away that he didn't open so we'd actually have ten thousand dollars worth of pokemon we're selling right now the meta zoo i brought in 11 where we got over is they have this kickstarter where you buy a five thousand dollar painting one of the original 25 characters and some of them are going to be valued at like a hundred thousand if you get mothman or something so i told him if you think it's right is this okay i said if you think it's right and it's like i'm i'm behind you i'm your wife whatever you do i do let's go and then they didn't send it till this year do you guys have any investment accounts i do i had a roth ira i do but i i okay how do i say this um i have a roth ira i put six hundred dollars when my daughter was young um when i separated i used the six hundred dollars i said there was no penalty because i never put never took out more than i made put in and I have not been able to put anything.

1:10:41I did have a Marcus Goldman Sachs account where I had a little bit of emergency fund. It's not a lot. It was like$300, but when his debts came up, So just to be very clear, instead of putting anything towards a Roth IRA or a 401k or even individual stocks in Moomoo, what we're doing instead, so we're getting some gambling and I'm hoping that a$5 ,000 we're putting into a painting or something like that turns into$100 ,000. I'm so confused. What this zoo whatever thing. it's pokemon but it uses things around you i guess like if it's your birthday you can use this card if there's a mirror in the room you can use this card it actually went viral it was crazy the kickstarter box went for ten thousand dollars we now have one of those kickstarter boxes about a thousand yeah interesting we didn't we didn't get it they gifted it to us because they they up and didn't send out the pictures and we never got our gift so someone else's fault again they never well you buy something you expect to get it right sure but like just everything in this I have not heard have you taken responsibility for one thing yes I think one thing you were like I hate that I'm taking responsibility for this right now that's true yeah I can't control that oh yes correct so that's the one thing you've taken responsibility for in this entire conversation what do you mean I've taken care of my kids responsibility like yeah taken responsibility for like anything going wrong ever the one thing no yeah I supported him okay I did the wrong thing but I stand by it what wrong thing I supported him through the MetaZoo.

1:12:06And I know it probably wasn't the right decision, but you choose to be in a relationship. The MetaZoo was your choice? Yeah, because I saw it blow up. I was like, oh, f***. I said you could be caught up with me. I don't believe in that. My mom would say chingadera. I don't believe in that chingadera. Well, I don't understand for what came in and all that. Quinceañera? Chingadera. Junk. Stupid. Sure. But I support my husband, and if you think that's a good call, and if we back up and we fall out, we'll find a way out. That's my responsibleness. Okay, we're out. We're under. Let's find a way. Okay.

1:12:37So now we're selling all this. But do you not recognize that throughout this entire conversation, just constantly throughout every single piece of paper, every story when we went in, it was just like it was a deflection and a blame on what someone else did that was beyond our control every single time. This entire conversation, you're going to have to watch it back. It's been it's very interesting. Sometimes it is beyond our control. But everything has been here. Well, we've had a rough few years that we didn't we didn't plan it. It happens. But we're dealing with it. We're living through it. We're not giving up.

1:13:05Yeah, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm just literally, you've blamed it all on outside factors outside of you. Things are going to happen. I'm not going to say that nothing's ever going to happen. But literally everything throughout this conversation has been, it is something. It is the world's fault outside of us. Well, because when you brought up the fast food, I said we could be better. We could, like I said, we could eat rice and beans at home. And I will eat it. If he doesn't want to eat it, I'll eat it. You said he went to Chick-fil-A. That's what you said when I brought up the fast food.

1:13:29You said he goes to Chick-fil-A. Well, I think we went to the same car for our kids, though. It was for our kids. So it wasn't just because. Yeah, but that's not what you said. You didn't say let's get rice and beans. You said he went to Chick-fil-A. Well, that's why I asked. Did you go to Chick-fil-A? Because I didn't realize that. I mean, it is. I mean, I get it. I am taking responsibility. Obviously. Everything. This is all me and him together. Right. This is us. And now we're going to. What are the actions? I go get a job. I work harder. No, no, no, no, no. What are the actions that you took that ended up to the place that were irresponsible decisions of yours?

1:14:01What were the actions? what are we able to acknowledge that got us into this place to begin with you didn't make the choice to have a fully funded emergency fund having a fully funded emergency fund would protect us from a lot of things that are outside of our control that is an act of choice because you were not sacrificing things in order to have a fully funded emergency fund okay so that's a part of it of course of course i mean what are the actions when i save when i start when you're willing to take responsibility as you say you are what was irresponsible that you've messed up that you are willing to take responsibility for like when he purchases something right and i i save i get angry and i go why am i the only one saving why am i the only one sacrificing and i go out no i go out and spend it's my problem i have a problem where i'm like why do i let that get to me and then i go spend why do i give my children what they want rather than what like hey rice and beans is just as good soup's just as good listen like you know you guys are young and you don't understand yet which i've been trying i've been you know learning more of but there was a period where I was sick.

1:15:00I couldn't cook for my family. I couldn't do these things. I was very ill. I was in and out of the hospital. They told me I was going to die. Yeah. And no one's ever going to say you were bad for that part when you're in sickness. Like, let's not go to the. So now I'm getting better. And I'm working on myself, of course. Every day. What I am asking for is taking specific responsibility. You started going down. And you started going down that path for a second. And then you were immediately like, and then I was in the hospital. Like, there was so much more life before what happened to you. No, of course.

1:15:28And so I started charging things a card. We all, Americans do it, right? We all do it. And then that's stupid. We should not charge it. We should not spend money that we don't have. And you're paying off other than child tax credits, which are good. Wait, what? Your lack of paying them off other than the child tax credits. And then you went through bankruptcy as well for the business. The business, yeah. That's all me. That's all me. That was my mistake. Wow, you said I didn't take it. That was my mistake. The business was my mistake. Oh, good. That's fine. Earlier, you said it was because of the landlord.

1:15:55It is, but it's still my responsibility. it shouldn't be under him he shouldn't take a bankruptcy he wanted to take a bankruptcy for me absolutely not so it's my responsibility i have to do the actions i will why would it be under him who would ever suggest it would be under him because he wanted business well he wanted well it's our business together i mean oh you're in the business well i didn't help a little bit i was supposed to read the he has offered to like go to accounting classes and stuff because again i'm not the best with numbers i'm trying my best and i'm working up to it um i would love to taking a county class can't afford it but um he's promised me for years he would take it and help we do it together but most of the time when he offers to help with something he just kind of dwindles away and i figure it out myself we didn't spend 442 dollars and 60 cents a month on going out to eat or 5.5 percent of our spending i think we could take a budgeting program online again i'm willing to give things i i don't know what course careers has in terms of that usually it's tech certifications but i'll gift you one if there's one for budgeting miscellaneous things that do not improve your life in any way whatsoever they're just miscellaneous bulls$1 ,749.19 21.8 of our spending unknown shopping typically amazon is about 2.2 percent of your spending again net only six percent of your spending went towards debt so it's a no we it's not a we can't afford it it's uh your money's going everywhere and you guys just don't know what's going on no of course i don't know that's why i came here you need to sit down with each other on a monthly basis go through the budgeting program together and take the quizzes together but let's create you just like a a high level budget and say you applied for government benefits last week yes i had to well what because i can't food food okay food assistance yeah okay what are you guys got but you're not you're not reporting your income Yeah, I did.

1:17:47You're not paying taxes, though. Why would I? I report everything. My tax lady does whatever she does and puts it, and she says you're under. Okay, probably because you don't make enough.

Okay, only spending on food. You think that's going to stretch for four of you? It's very hard. It could, I think. but i make i make bigger meals that are like again i'm not taking responsibility i'm not not taking responsibility but a lot of the time i want to be the one to cook i want to be the one to not go out i kind of yell up like let them know like hey if we go spend this there's more debt we go in i don't care i'm happy let's go oh i don't care i'm happy let's go um and what do you do you're sad you know you don't want to you meal prep and then you reheat is that what we're talking No, I cook that day and then usually leftovers the next day.

1:19:11Think about some potential meal prepping as well. Meal prepping can be a really good way to save money because we're buying in bulk. Now, the reason I asked if that's going to stretch, that could stretch for normal, but there's a lot of dietary restrictions here. Yeah. Across the board. So what do you legitimately think? Grocery bill we could do on a monthly basis. Well, we had 900 in California and that barely got us by. But like I said, I will make whatever work. My mom made it work when she was alive for my dad. please a number what do you think whatever the number is for the so 622 okay i'm gonna try and make that's what i said in the beginning yeah but you can you can add more cash on top of that with your own yeah we could yeah if we need to but that's what i'm trying to stick to i'm trying to stick with okay so we're gonna try that yes 622 health medical anything ongoing we just got sooner i just had kidney stones two weeks ago oh i'm sorry yeah um so uh the va covers the first two emergency rooms and then they signed me up for something called sooner and they said yeah you need that and so we just got signed up and then we're trying to get child services where they will help us watch our kids um so that we can go get better sure i can go get a better job okay what can what do i need to put for medical on a monthly basis i don't think there is anything nothing there's nothing ongoing okay we don't take gyms subscriptions oh yeah good that's great tp fun anything else you need to survive uh this could be school stuff as well it's really going to vary on a monthly basis we're just trying to get just an average i'm thinking about 200 bucks it's everything else you need in life toothpaste blah blah blah because the diapers he's almost out of them we're trying our best phone bill what was that 171 okay what's your rent 1540

1:21:01utilities water gas electric so uh water is like 50 a month electricity is like 100 a month and then internet right now is 90 but i could drop it down to 70. let's drop it down to 70. yeah it's world of warcraft i don't think it needs to be it doesn't need 500 megabytes no well didn't you like you tried to put no i think no so they i tried to get my router installed and then it didn't work and then they said I was going to have to pay$15 a month to use theirs so they made me upgrade the plan to get the deal back it's just a big we have renters insurance we have two renters insurance right now 20 bucks a month then it's like 30 something and then we have the other one that we cannot cancel until our insurance goes through here how much is that on top of the 30 then another 20 something so 50 okay 55 let's call it gas Vroom vroom Drive drive We do drive a lot We go to parks every day We go We just Go to do free things It's between 50 and 60 bucks To fill up And we fill up At least once a week Oh yeah Because the DoorDash No one doesn't do that anymore Oh we were doing some DoorDash Yeah without the DoorDash I worked at like 12am through 3am What do I budget for gas I think 200 Can we do Oh no that's not enough Let's say 250 He has a car But he owns it It's a 1992 Taylor Camry I only drive it To my dad's down the street One tank of gas Last two weeks Car insurance 30 bucks car insurances one car insurance is two something oh that's for both of us and then I have a two what?

1:22:30there's a lot between two and three I think it's like 270 we're trying to get it motorcycle insurance is 27 there's a motorcycle? I have a motorcycle sell it I will lose a lot of money it's not even mine what do you mean lose a lot of money? is there debt on it? no so you just mean in terms of what it's not worth what you bought it's not worth anything compared to what it's what could you sell for realistically because of the special seat i have because i tore everything in my right arm in the military or my left arm in the military um probably not even much but maybe less than 4 000 but it's not mine it's i promised it to my daughter harley that's her name uh that's the bike from her dad yeah it's from her dad and it's also essential to me because when he takes the kids in the car that we can actually take the kids in the car we can't take the kids in the toyota camry um i ride that that's my like transportation to work but it's not here i have to drive his whatever car don't we have two cars you said yeah he has his 99 is barely working so we try not to to use a 92 toyota camry it was gifted to us for our wedding because he had like a boat pretty much just four thousand dollars could pay off some debt and i'm willing to work extra hard to keep that

1:23:52okay guys it's actually what got me sober so it is very very important to me it may not be to you and i understand that no it's not that it's just it's a bad answer for everything okay 297 dollars for car insurance A motorcycle got you sober? That's interesting. It actually got me back to civilian hood. Like, I couldn't come out of the military. Like, I would pass Coke cans, and they would look like IEDs and all this. And I sat on a motorcycle for the first time, and I do a bunch of 9-11 rides for veterans. I support a bunch of those things. So, yeah. $297 for car insurance, nothing in subscriptions.

1:24:31Anything else you need to survive that I do not know other than your minimum monthly debt payments? What else is there? Anything else that needs to be in the budget? No we pretty much do everything ourselves I cut their own hair I am beyond excited for you to reach Into Noah's soul in the post show Fucking just whatever this is I need this Oh f*** me the debt minute

1:24:59$1 ,339.67

1:25:06all righty i think you guys more than anything need to have a big conversation where you want to be like literally physically where you guys want to live and like figure that because if we're gonna put down roots and like yeah first of all 2600 comes in net for you yeah that's nothing dude you like you need another job immediately and then you make even less than that you need four thousand like this is a minimum survival amount four thousand six hundred ninety four dollars to sixty seven cents yeah now there's no reason to set anything aside for taxes because you guys don't really make enough i mean it's just more of a safety thing but it's like so would you recommend like i watch a lot of your shows do you get the emergency fund first or we start paying the things before the deferred interest comes in because you guys have kids i would love to see like a two-month emergency fund before throwing things which i've gotten up to like eight thousand dollars that's nine thousand dollars you guys would need to hit that two months and right now again yeah you guys are literally with the food stamps even included in the income you guys are still oh i also get 338 from the va i'm 20 disabled 238 338 okay with that total coming in 5 ,060 with all the benefits so you actually do walk out with extra 300 hours on a monthly basis if you budget down to the most basic thing but again just getting a two-month emergency fund my dudes takes 30 months 30 months or two and a half years yeah 30 months so it's basically this i mean this is this is this is not an answer that's not an answer cutting back spending is hardly an answer the very clear thing right now is obviously you need to cut back spending what i need you guys to do after this on your long ride home we're talking where do we want to maybe we need to talk to the uh virtual therapist about this let let me pay for one session okay let me pay for a session of couples therapy just see if maybe you guys vibe with it vibe with it let me pay for an intro session you just send me the invoice i'll pay for it just go through that and through that hopefully you know you do a couple sessions decide where you guys want to be is it florida is it back in california where do we need to be that we can put down roots because you know if you go on you try to go get like a better paying job and you try to establish something and then we're moving in a month it's like everything's chaos everything's chaos right now the world's on fire in your life i need you guys to be established somewhere i need you to start focusing on your career i need you to start focusing on your career take advantage of the services in the area to hopefully have the kids covered you know they're going to be headed into grade school soon that'll be helping you know one of them was still a couple years away but you know kindergarten at least well yeah one's still away and one got kicked out of um why why she hits she hits this teacher she hits the teacher the teacher told her something about you have to be good to be good and she just threw a chair at her listen i love a good waffle house 3 a.m fight but i don't think we need to be doing that in a kindergarten class but what the do i know i don't have a three-year-old nor do i want one so or four whatever yeah a lot yeah if you guys don't decide where you're going to be what even a year down the road of your life looks like there's no conversation to be had so you guys need to determine that then you really need to stick to the budget figure out what your real budget is this is a high level thing maybe you're breaking even maybe there's extra hundred dollars to be found maybe you're actually negative you know we to figure that out when you're moving benefits might be you know affected um we're hoping to stay here until we pay off debt and save up okay well to be very clear and take forever like i said uh i haven't told you this yet but my dad has offered to help us get a house he'll pay the down payment and everything i don't know if i want you guys to be in a house because i mean i would right now right now to be clear because uh well we have no storm shelter yeah but and there's been we're in the city of tornadoes and there's yeah you're in the tornado aisle i know yeah and so my but we're literally gonna buy a house for that purpose i don't know my dad it's my dad's thing okay well either way fine if your dad's gonna do that then he better agree to pay for anything that breaks because that's the concern is once you guys get in a home whatever breaks and it's all of a sudden tens of thousands of dollars on your plate need a new roof you know and insurance doesn't cover it it's all this extra stuff maybe you get a massive property tax increase for whatever reason you know it's all this that is beyond out of your control where even right now renting is more affordable nationwide on average right now than home ownership home ownership is something i want you to have overall because i want you to be without a minimum monthly payment of course in terms of living by the time you retire but again it's this is this is it's a very rare thing for my dad to come through but he is very well off and so what's well off multi-millionaire what's multi i don't know okay he will tell us he goes around the world fixing apple stores so he doesn't need to tell you but i was more curious than anything yeah well good for him yeah maybe you guys can get he didn't get until his late 40s so sacrifice and like actually you know let's instead not have to wait for our mid 40s let's start doing that early 30s yeah yeah already in our early 30s you're almost mid 30s next month does your dad know you have magical powers yes oh yeah you should tell stories this is his face guys that's my face that's the audience's face and then all his friends are like oh my god you do and he gets really upset my daughter's good at something oh no i don't think that's the issue.

1:30:54It's a lot. You don't know my dad. He's trying his best. Okay. Plus the one month emergency fund paying off your debt. I mean, at this pace, and this is even if it's accurate, takes 203 months. So again, I don't think that's the conversation. You gotta just figure out some basics. The job I applied for that I'm waiting for in a week, they said they, on average, the girl makes $1 ,200 a week. So that's why. what was it again oh texas her house she makes 100 a week part time i'm i'm gonna go i don't care if it's two in the morning yeah that would be i mean let's be candid here i mean oh never mind let's not be candid there are people are people take things the wrong way out there so no candidness uh but some people make more money for certain reasons in the surfing job i mean you think that i'm this negative person but like if you want him to like he was just telling me is like you you walk in somewhere and people give you things and people you're so kind to people you're always telling them how magical aura so they just give you things no it's just you're a good person and you really want to reach out to the next person but you don't bull don't you don't say that like hey i if i'm having not having a great day like hey i'm not having a great day and you're honest i'm about to have a great day after this because you're gonna blow noah's mind spending a budget is ridiculous we're out spending everything are but it is stupid zero out of 10 not even a consideration debt luckily we don't have collections or irs debt but it's still pretty bad i think it's going to be about a two out of 10 emergency fund there's nothing in savings not anymore okay zero out of 10 retirement zero out of 10 real estate zero out of 10 being generous hammer financial score 0.5 out of 10 make sure to check out all the resources linked in the description below as they are what i use or would use in specific situations including the best budgeting program in the history of the internet now stick around for the post show know what I was about to get.
