0:28Get your mother-loving ears on name is hunter i'm 28 years old and i'm from burleson texas thanks for coming down and this is financial audit spinny little intro yep that's exciting so thanks for coming down what do you do for a living there uh i am an agm for a barbecue restaurant ag oh gm ag ag yeah okay just got promotion very good oh congratulations what were you doing before that uh just regular manager been with the barbecue company for like three three years now barbecue company so what what is it what is a barbecue company is it like a barbecue restaurant yep uh so i just started franchising uh in the dfw area sure cool what are we making uh right now i'm making 48k salary okay bonuses uh yes there is bonuses but they're like store performances so if a store does better than that store gets it but the gm is the only one that gets that bonus but you're a gm yeah but i won't get it that doesn't make sense you just said a gm gets it yeah the g the position gm gets it but as a gm oh okay see that's okay a gm is the position yes it sounded like you're saying i am AGM no no no assistant general manager why did you I don't know I should have said that that's not how humans talk well congratulations on your promotion that's really cool 48 ,000 hours a year how do we feel living off of that I feel I feel pretty good it's more money now so what were you making at the time frame it's 45 45 but there's a good chance that I will also three to four months now be making 55 depending on my store's uh sales how is that determined how's it determined if you get the increase or not just by the like sales um yeah but how is it determined what's the number uh the number like we go by monthly and depending on how each store does that's going to determine because we just got back down does your salary go back down uh my salary won't go down uh it will stay at the same but so it goes up if it goes up but it doesn't go down if the store goes down correct yeah because of the money that's being put in it's also with some new owners that's kind of like making things a little tricky as well it's pretty so i know you're quite proud from the conversations we've had just onboarding you and everything into this this uh position which you know i'm happy you got a promotion as well um but i just also want to make you aware just in terms of assistant general manager positions than the terms of the types of ones that you've been promoted to the median is ranging from 60 to 63 000 hours a year where you're getting a possible raise to 53 000 hours a year which on that high end of median is still 10 000 less than average and you're not in a you said the restaurants in the dfw area it's a brand new loan it's outside the first one outside of dfw okay well even still if it's just outside of dfw that's a pretty low undercut from the median in a major metro area type of place what do you think what are we thinking yeah bureau of labor statistics by the way yeah uh i am going to try to like my main goal right now is just try to figure out as many projects that we can get traffic in and just sales bumps so that way not only helps my employees but it helps myself too uh because i mean otherwise it's just kind of like yeah but you're only getting a raise to 53 000 i mean you're 48 when the median 60 yep and 63 and that depends on um if you know certain situations happen then i can apply to a gm position in high uh for if there's an opening if there's an opening But again, you're being paid under this position on the national.

4:35So what's to say you won't be paid under the national GM average? Yeah, that's the current. They're not knocking you for the job. But I mean, this is capitalism. We're here. There's an ongoing competition in figuring out what works in the marketplace. They're paying that position because you're accepting being paid that position. You took the job. If they couldn't fill the job, they would have raised the prices. and you would have found a job that was adequate to you know the money for the position yep but you just accepted this job well under the median yeah i i push for it and they're like well we can't give you this now but so you wanted the position more than anything yeah rather than the income why um just been committed to this company and been wanting to like push myself like they're committed to you it's the it's new ownership sure that's fantastic um they're a little bit more stingy than the old and that's who you want to tie yourself to is stingy not really no okay so what's the play then uh potentially getting another gig uh but separate or moving um lateral i would like to go lateral um but as of right now um this is why i have that's consistent income um i'm also like potentially like looking into something else like job wise like a second gig potentially um but yeah i don't know it's kind of a sticky situation for me it's just a uh i don't know it's sticky to get out of because it's consistent right now now in general let's go into your situation let's figure out where we are we got your income we got your work situation you just borrowed seven thousand dollars from your parents yeah for what purposes uh at 28 yep give me out of debt uh or at least help me like less than the debt okay pay off which is interesting i mean it's because it's a consolidation i guess so we have a stack of debt here what debts from here did you pay off from that seven thousand dollars nothing so you still have the seven thousand dollars no ready to i paid it what are you talking about yeah uh i paid to certain credit cards and uh so what i separated seven thousand dollars in two different credit cards and explain i'm okay and you like instead of taking care of any balance you yeah little towards yeah a little towards all uh versus like one card um i did that and then i was like okay now i have less of this i'm gonna pay this off and but you said you've paid none off right because i basically reoccurred all the debt back you put it back up when did you borrow the 7 000 from your parents uh so it's like maybe in december sometime around that january so you still owe it to them yeah i still owe it to them on top of what i have now jet number one parents before we continue with the video i want to take a moment to remind you that investing is something that is absolutely necessary in order to secure your financial future, which is why it's so important to start investing early so that you can grow with your portfolio.

Moomoo, thank you for supporting our channel. Now let's get back to the episode and that's confusing man for the i mean the payoff strategy is weird like why not just pay off some balances to lower your minimum monthlies then attack the rest as you now have more money left on a monthly basis but you didn't do that you just put spread it out almost like evenly across the board even and it never took care of balance but it didn't matter anyway you just built it all the way back up do your parents know this no oh me why haven't you told them uh pretty shameful of it yeah no so it's just really stupid and also no yeah uh so that's gonna be a fun conversation when i have it with them why when are you gonna have it when are you gonna be a big boy about it come on dude you're throwing down slabs of meat all day you're a man uh probably like i don't know a few months from now um until i get certain things figured out what kind of vague answer is that what are you figuring out uh just trying i mean figure out a better financial strategy, which is not what I'm not, what I thought was right, I didn't do.

10:43Wait, what was that sentence? Okay. Yeah. My strategy was to spread out the loan that they gave me. And where'd you learn that from? Because I don't think anyone would have ever suggested that. Myself, which was... Oh, you learned it from yourself. I learned it from myself. obviously a uh well-versed tutor in personal finances yeah uh yeah because i thought because i was going off the base of my credit score and i thought me spreading it out would make it better and it did for the time being and i put some money towards my highest like interest card but you built it back up again and i built it back up again what you built it back up again with like so some of it uh one purchase was for car maintenance um i was going through some car issues that needed to be fixed and it was going to be like$3 ,500 overall what was it uh so it was with my um i had to get my car towed because it died the battery died and then um i had to get some time.

12:37And then I had to get my door Like handles fixed too so they had to Why the f*** do you need your door handles fixed? I accidentally ripped Like one off like carrying groceries and stuff like that So they had to like Take part and like get inside the whole entire thing um how's your relationship with your parents by the way i mean you borrowed seven thousand dollars um my relationship with my parents is good it was definitely an interesting upbringing that i had um okay so i'll kind of give you like what i grew up with whenever i grew up with my two parents and i had two older sisters and then i had a younger brother but the younger brother didn't live with me he lived with my second oldest sister um and my parents are older and but then at 10 years old my parents sat me down and they're like hey we need to tell you something um we're actually not your parents we're your grandparents oh whoa and your oldest sister is your aunt your second oldest sister is your biological mom and then wait how old is your biological mom she's 50 now oh okay and then your brother is your half brother you share the same mom but different dads and so um and like kind of growing up too i had a good relationship with like my dad my grandpa um me and my mom would like butt heads a lot my grandma okay um because they adopted me when i was like 13 too um how old are they uh dad's 80 like 81 now and then my mom is like 75 76 okay and so um just biological mom was going through like i mean she's going to rehab by like 18 all that stuff and um yeah okay and so uh childhood is really confusing um especially after that point but i mean i just went back to calling them by just by their name versus like big sis and all that stuff um and i was just like no point of like calling them grandma grandpa it's like y 'all y 'all raised me and stuff like that yeah yeah yeah for Um, but throughout the years, it's definitely been like back and forth and family, my family is very independent.

15:13It's always been us. And, um, so my parents have always been supportive of me. Um, and like, I don't know, just being able to go through certain life situations, they kind of like kept me sheltered a lot. and so a lot of it is me learning on my own but i definitely put like everything i've done like with my spending that's on me that's not on them they've been nothing but like supportive and loving towards me um that's why i was like that's where i just feel about it um yeah i mean it's difficult because i mean they're are they retired um so there used to be a company called montgomery ward sure so it's like montgomery war is the og before sears open up where like the sears catalog all that stuff um my dad was the ceo of that company wow and they bought a lot of stocks in it and it crashed okay so what's their situation now their situation now they're just settled in temple and are they retired um he's the reason i'm asking this is because you literally borrowed seven thousand dollars to make zero progress from them he's he's working as a substitute teacher because he just well it's he doesn't like staying at home okay like he It's not to make ends meet?

16:43No. So are they retired? Pretty much. Okay. Yeah. Do they have any expectations of when the$7 ,000 will be paid back? Because they talk to me and they're just like, when you pay your stuff, we know you have the intentions of paying it back. Do you? I do. Yes. Okay. Well, you have no action surrounding that. I know. At all. Anyway. That's where I'm being stupid. And I need a wake up call with that. So how much actually went towards the debt, which didn't make any progress anyway in the end? How much? Of the 7 ,000? Do you even know? So what that 7K was put towards. So it was like 2K towards one of my main credit cards that has the highest interest rate.

17:35And then it was like 3K, another two, another two. It was just spread out. But you said someone went to the car. yeah but you said that was like a 3500 yeah but i put that on one of my cards so it didn't even make it didn't even what would you give yourself zero to ten zero being the worst ten being the best of your finances what's your personal view of your own situation uh probably like a one okay well i'd probably bring that down to a negative one because you promised to bring us barbecue and You didn't even do that. Yeah.

18:13Seriously, where's the meats? I'm a meat man. Well, I thought about... I was going to come down on Wednesday or today, but I came in on Tuesday, so I didn't want to serve cold barbecue. We have a warming device. If you are in the area, I'll hook you up. That's not how this works. Okay. that's not how promising to bring someone meat works why don't you drive three hours instead okay please we have myth awaits in law barbecue i don't need to drive three hours for a franchise okay do you have a minimum monthly payment to your parents no okay so let's just uh pay us back when you can what what is their view on this again i know they don't know that you f***ed up but what is their view on this borrowing of money to you their thought was just why didn't you tell us sooner and we could have helped you when uh your debt wasn't so high and and this is this is this is the bankruptcy thing this is the debt consolidation thing and now it's the lending money from the parents to the son thing it didn't help you in any way whatsoever because you didn't change the behavior before you go through any consolidation or debt forgiveness or whatever if you don't change the behavior that got you there in the first place you just end up right back where you are and that's where you ended up to man okay let's go on your first step call your your first like debt that isn't from the parents yeah jc penny yeah going to jc penny getting loans for shirts and yeah buying a bunch of clothes and uh gained weight so had the i mean not feel it but had to get some bigger clothes nah embrace the tightness yeah that would be giving me a little bit more motivation you're over limit you're over a limit you're you became over limit on your weight so you became over limit on your card and i can make fat jokes i'm fat it's the rules it was a pretty okay joke no one left so i was a little disappointed um okay over limit them out 120 dollars oh first of all this is an incredible we we asked for pdf statements so we can like review things and this is like a it's a screenshot of you taking a picture inside of the notes app i cannot read this thing yeah uh i tried to i tried my best to get the pdf file but i signed up for like paper uh documents for the jc penny deal i don't know why but uh their card deal when i tried to download the pdf deal it was the only card that could not like download an actual pdf through the app and so that was my best way of showing it okay five thousand two hundred seventy dollars and twenty six cents which again is over the credit limit of five thousand dollars with the are you kidding me 185 minimum payment doesn't help when we're being underpaid like$15 ,000 or whatever.

21:18$10 ,000 I think. After your raise. Yeah. Purchases! If you're over the f***ing limit why do people do this? It grinds me more than like most anything when it comes to finances. You have$132 of interest accruing. That sucks but the balance is large so the math makes sense. But after we pay$200 let's go blow $358.87 what the f*** is the logic behind that I can see how you got back into debt immediately again uh you said it was$300 $358 altogether or like in one purchase deal or is it like separated well let me read through your micro text because you sent this in a ridiculous look at this thing guys how the f*** is it

22:17what whataburger oh yeah some restaurant barbecue another restaurant whataburger whataburger whataburger european wax what the are you doing uh buddy just watch the nair video on youtube i would have taken care of this it's for my eyebrows not the other place buddy what's wrong with your eyebrows first of all you're sweating like crazy between them right now yep and two and two like i don't know i buzz them do my eyebrows look bad no yeah we've been through this and so like just that's what i told the other person just why don't you just spend that once a 25 dollar and you could have like taken care of it on an endless weekly basis instead of going to a European wax center and spent$66.

23:11It's a wax pass deal. You have a wax pass. Not anymore. That's okay. Good. I canceled that because when I saw it was$66 a month, I was like. Yeah, that's stupid. Yeah. So. The lumbery. A lumber yard. It's a bar. Oh, great. Yeah. I'll spend another restaurant and Arizona bottoms, Arizona tops. Probably gang. Oh yeah. Gang jeans and shirts. Probably something like that from Chase Benny. Usually when people talk about tops and bottoms, it's not really about shirts. Okay. That's a ridiculous amount of spending and just absolutely crazy things on a card that is now above the credit limit. Does that make sense?

24:06No. If you need to be called out for being a dumb dummy dumb, CalebHamber.com slash apply. Feel free to join us here. What do you think so far of being called out on dum-dums? Yeah. I definitely, in the time frame I was like, i'm like yeah not so much and then i was like well i need to yeah i don't know you're obviously not a credit card person close the accounts open credit cards and don't ask me about the score just use your damn just use sign up for the fizz card where you can at least help someone like you okay let's see you're basically at the credit limit on the discover it how do people every time someone has to discover it it's always so with that discovered that was another thing in my i guess my own brain that i thought would be smart to get because whenever i did the whenever my parents gave me the seven thousands that spread out the deal um my capital one venture card i did a transfer deal or lessen the balance of that one and i can pay off that one so i'm not paying like 300 something on uh payments and but i just don't have debt yeah good the way you're trying to go about this is insane 166 166 dollar minimum payment the balance of 8 277 which is more than you barb and then to even pay off your debt it's a wild number you paid the minimum oh you i'm gonna $16.94 of interest okay then a thousand dollars a thousand forty six dollars of purchases what the f is that do you even give a shit about your what like what is that like what kind of decision making is that what kind of lack of maturity lack of adulthood is that we're basically the same age what kind of is that you've been in adulthood for a decade what kind of what is that that's insane so 700 of that is should be towards the last time i had to get uh car maintenance because my alter my the alternated belt failed i had to get okay so fine 200 250 dollars to spend going out to eat and going to bars.

26:42Even still,$250 going out to eat on a thing that you're only paying a minimum of two payment to and the interest is accruing. Does that make sense? What kind of decision making is that? Dumb. Okay. Yeah. Going to the bar, going to the bar, getting some Mickey D's after the bar, going into the gas station, getting some bullsh**, some barbecue, going into the gas station, getting some bullsh**, dominoes, bar, going into the gas station and getting some bullsh**.

31:44Pay who? What? It was for basically to pay off partial rent where I sent it to them and they sent it back to me. What the fuck are you talking about?

32:01Y 'all gotta use my favorite high yield savings account where you can get up to 4.6 % on your money plus FDIC insurance up to two million dollars you can also get up to three hundred dollars for signing up today it's the personal high yield savings account that i use for my money so don't let your money be losing money while it's just sitting there click in the link in the description below and get those bonuses okay i guess we'll move on and like yeah i don't know that was just another way of like it's like oh i don't have money in my debit card but let me send money through it did through like Vimmo and stuff like that.

32:36Okay, I know you're being underpaid, but you're not being paid like a wage in general. No. Like you're probably close to the median of your area. Maybe even close to the median household of your area. Maybe like 15 off. Not 100 % sure. Depends on the town. But you should never be almost a negative in your checking account in your position. Yeah. The last, I mean, honestly.

33:30or at microsoft.com slash m365 copilot. Whenever I had to do my car deal in late March, it's been basically negative every week or two weeks. Have you seen your spending? We've gone already through some of it on your credit cards. You're going to the bars every second of your life. You're going to your own restaurant where you're AGM. No, A-A-GM. Yeah. and spending all your money there you're negative by choice you're being stupid with your money i call it as i see it not here to be nice yeah i mean i'll give you a high five afterwards out of pleasantries but when we're talking about your money and sitting here like i mean come on this is dumb as this is dumb yep okay yeah i mean oh again we're basically at the The credit balance of this venture card,$8 ,775.39.

34:33And the credit limit is$9 ,000. So we're basically there. $207 of interest in a single month. Kill me now. Oh, good. Oh, good. Another$1 ,000 of purchases. What are you doing? What are you doing, man? You're bullying yourself into the... So why did you get into the Capital One to begin with? All this debt. So when I signed up for that card, it was for my best friend's bachelor party. We were going, basically went to Vegas, did ATV tour rides and Apples Valley, Utah. You took out the credit card for that. Yeah. But I got paid back. We all just split it up because I was getting the miles. How much was yours?

35:16Your portion? 400. Okay. So you opened a credit card and you put$400 on it immediately anyway. And then this is built up from there. Yeah. So everyone paid me back for it. and did they actually they did yeah but then it was just uh what really put me in the rut was just kind of just doing small minimum payments and then i moved out from my best friend's house because that's where when i moved up to dfw in 2020 i was living with him for a year and a half and he got married and i spent a lot of money moving out how much do you have in retirement zero that's insane you're destroying your life what chance of a future do you have financially going down this path none yeah i was gonna say you're gonna rely on social security which we're decades and decades away from being able to get that my friend and who knows what that program is gonna look like at that point it's only existed for like 100 years and it's like it's 80 years i think something like that and it's already like they always have to push back the ages and it can't be managed for so how are we gonna rely on that when it's 150 years old yeah i'm not 100 sure honestly yeah i also don't follow up with that much i probably should it's not about that it's as you're relying on something that have confidence in this you do instead of having to rely on something else but right now you've set yourself up for for complete failure.

36:42Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I do know, but it's just really big impulsiveness and some coping stuff too. $297. $290. Kill me dollars.

37:06A naughty app. Prime video. roku more amazon prime cbs interactive roku roku again for what how much content do you consume how do you have this much time yeah let's literally like 50 there was like seven in a row of different streaming yeah it's either i go to work go to the bar or i'm at home watching tv or movies and one other thing and yeah one other thing uh the lumber yard again sonic drive-in adult fun time is what we call it left rodeo harvard hall harvest hall it's a restaurant eagle point bar yeah that was i went on like a date oh well there you go that's not non-existent yeah i go out time time it's just like commitment stuff like that i'm not really like into it right now yeah well but you're committed to a place that pays you 10 000 on the median yeah uh okay yeah storage unit you're storing for 80 bucks a month um so i'm renting out a room right now um with the people i'm living with currently and i just had a bunch of like i had washer and dryer unit i had like desk all that stuff that wouldn't be able to fit into there so i got a storage unit uh to store all that stuff so i want to crowd their space okay more adult fun time a bar and grill all done spending more money at your own restaurant that's your aagm at 29.74 percent on there with 207 dollars of interest accruing almost a thousand bucks this year so far in interest accruing absolutely wild man absolutely wild listen you got excited about your raise and i'm excited about your raise as well of three thousand dollars a year but you're blowing like 1500 bucks a month so what's even the point like blowing on nonsense so what's a three thousand dollar a year ray is gonna do for you yeah that's what i'm saying too and that's what i'm trying to talk to like the my higher ups about i'm just like i should i definitely deserve more like than 48 and there's just like you might have to leverage your position man i'm definitely trying to well you need a competing offer to do so yeah it could also cause some bad will in that case i mean one of them do it closer close your ears ladies and gentlemen one of them do it i'm getting a better paint job somewhere else i'm like go get it you know you're not gonna hold that over me that's pretty much your mentality yeah which i kind of get i mean like i don't know i don't like being strong-armed i don't negotiate with terrorists for me so yeah comes i'm an american um but yeah i'm definitely trying to negotiate more uh because just the how long i've been there what i've been how long have you been there three years okay start off start off as a busser oh you're moving your way up that's really cool that's really cool doesn't mean busser cashier started managing last year and listen again we went the national average from the bureau labor statistics for your town though it would be you're just outside of the df area i'd be surprised if it's really that much lower in a median way but it could be it's not it's nothing too crazy it's a little small town uh or it's a it's like it's a pretty big country town so yeah rents affordable around there like it's better than like arlington fort worth so the wage might be competitive with there um so i know it doesn't vibe with you but i am connected to resources so if you ever want a course career certification through tech, I'm happy to give that to you.

41:07Okay, cool. I know that's probably not exactly what you're looking for in this position. Okay, quick silver card. Quick way to get.

41:22Oh, good. We're basically at the credit balance again. Credit limit. $2 ,188.82. At a$2 ,250 credit limit. So good. interest charging 53 54 cents transactions 178 and 98 cents again that doesn't make any sense for a card that's basically the credit card limit and then we have a 75 dollar minimum monthly payment which is absolutely wild just continues to stack and stack and stack and stack and stack and stack and stack again it's an apple in-app whatever purchase water burger going to that nickel city thing again going inside and getting some bulls touch tunes what the touch tunes uh playing music in the bar you pay for that you animal what are you doing identity protection is actually probably important an apple purchase another apple purchase in nickel city what are you in-app purchasing constantly through apple uh that might be roku uh more roku well like the subscriptions and stuff like that or um the other one was with buying more storage for like my phone well this one was 973 and then 2269 and then the first one was 540 on this one and then there were other ones on the other things

42:47oh what oh god yeah the 540 one's probably with the one that with I'm buying like something for a mobile game. In the game? What are you getting in the games? It's just like tokens. It's always f***ing tokens, always f***ing gems. It's like some like... How is that more important than paying off debt? Again, to remind you, to remind everyone, you borrowed$7 ,000 to get out of debt and you're buying f***ing in-game tokens? That's what's more important than paying off your parents. That's what's more important than ever being able to retire. that's what's more important than ever being able to get out of debt that's what's more important than your entire life is gems just like yeah just bad coping uh cope with what what are you hoping out yeah it's just a bunch of stuff like like not happy with or try and be happy with what i'm doing right now and what are you not happy about with what you're doing right now i just feel like i I mean, taking advantage of.

43:50At the workplace? Yeah. Have you looked for other jobs? I thought about it. Okay, if you haven't looked, then I don't think you're being taken advantage of because you haven't put any effort into doing anything else. You're allowing yourself to be taken advantage of that in that case. You're allowing that. You're consenting to it in a way.

44:35i also just don't know what i would do because whenever i used to do a bunch of stuff in my hometown like a bunch of different jobs like i was like camp counselor worked at bucky's listen i'm not against what you're doing you just have to say hey i know i'm being paid underpaid for my current position and i have the statistics to prove it i'm gonna have to find another job unless we can you know hopefully uh meet in the middle here come up with something you know it's a tough conversation but then you actually have to stick up for yourself if they say no yeah you know that's when you start looking for another job but you're just but either way is that the issue but is that you're spending because you think you're being taken advantage of like i don't know you're just spending everything on bull the even is that right in front of me what is that uh it's smelling salts so instead of buying zins i've been doing smelling salts that's insane can can noah do it in the post show yeah 100 okay no you're willing to i know i was gonna do it in the post show make sure make sure to stick around for the post show because uh no one's gonna do it yeah so i use i use that that's enough i i mean is it addictive i don't know anything about it no so i mean basically like if i go out and stuff like that I'll take it out to bars and if I'm starting to feel sleepy What does it even do?

46:10It's salt? It wakes you up. What is it? It's just basically like pure ammonia. Oh good. It hits your system and get rock and rollin' with it. You're gonna need to sniff a lot of that because you have negative$53.56 in your checking account. I'd be sniffing that and working 90 hours a week. Why don't you have a second job at the very minimum, at least to make things count? So if I'm currently looking for something that will work with myself, I like apply to like small little gigs. So like there's been some restaurants that are like doing busing stuff because where I can just have like extra cash on the side or at least pay off like some other stuff um for deposits getting to 2 ,899 three debit card bank card pin pos purchases totaling 609.45 other 32 other banking machine debit card deductions totaling 1 ,826 in here going inside a gas station getting some bullshit probably that first of all i thought it was like a mini thermos or a major vape like i don't look good i don't know things i'm just an innocent little boy who drinks coffee no yeah this stuff will last for like oh yeah smelling salts sp plus aff zone yeah smelling like the paid paydays or whatever doesn't it does it does it how long are you how what does it how long do you feel like Like, whoa.

47:50It's just a quick little jolt. And it just wakes you up. And then you're sleepy again? Yeah, because like with Zins and stuff like that, they'll make you, they're supposed to like kind of like wake you up a little bit. But I have like ADHD. So whenever I take like. But you don't drive home from the bars, right? Not always. But I also, I only have like. Drunk driving is illegal, sir. I don't care if you sniff a salt. Oh, no, I don't get to that point. Like I have. If you're getting to that point where you have to sniff a salt, aren't you? No, not that. You're struggling to stay awake. No, not struggling to stay awake.

48:23Not that far. If I have to fall asleep, I go to a friend's apartment. Going to the bar. Spending more money at your barbecue place. Domino's. Spotify.

56:55okay so let's fill up the pie chart for you guys at the bottom other bs spending just stupid gas station crap that doesn't matter 487.19 water burger 122.96 going inside oh sorry this is going inside a gas station and getting some 141.39 dominoes was 150.75 and the nickel city bar was $271.30. The other was just everything else combined that wasn't one single spot that you're going to over and over again, which was like Whataburger, the QT, Domino's, and Nickel City. So, it's a total of$1 ,173.59 on bulls**t. You thought$350. Yeah. Yeah. Net debt. You thought$250. It's$181. Ladies and gentlemen, look at these pie, or look at these oh it's okay i'm a little i'm a little i didn't die i didn't school no good either look at these bar charts next to each other this is absolutely insane this is what what you've done here is absolutely insane you're i mean you're killing yourself you don't have retirement do you have a savings account no okay you're just you're killing yourself yeah like it's it's actually scary i know we chucked around here a little bit but that's like actually like scary like for your future that's actually that's terrifying look at it buddy that's your actions yep that's my and then this is what you thought it was yeah pretty delusional or just yeah just stupid yeah just having like actually like looked at the numbers and like no yeah yeah so

58:48transportation was 35.1 percent of spending or 1812 yeah i'm moving into a new apartment by the end of the month um and it's like a five minute walk to work so i plan on walking a good amount extra miscellaneous bs that we didn't even put in that going out to eat calm there's an additional 9.6 percent of your spending or 495 dollars like again your pie charts just as crazy man that's ridiculous it's crazy when are you moving out when did you just say um i move out june 1st so you know what your rent will be yes what will your new rent be uh 1200 what is your current 1200 okay what's your current uh 750 for the room big increase utilities what do you think it's gonna be um probably like another 200 maybe maybe less internet 50 60 uh and that should be about like 40 and then i'm gonna cut that storage unit that i have right now because they have an indoor storage unit because i got a studio um but studio where such as a cheap town it is uh but it's a brand new you get a studio for cheaper in austin um notoriously not a cheap town yeah it's one of the cheapest though in the area though uh for but yeah they have an indoor storage unit that's like for 30 bucks gas driving vroom vroom how much right now um i probably not much what's it gonna be probably if i had to put a number on it i would just say like like 100 if i'm going out still car insurance right now is 150 minimum monthly debt payments is 632.89 did you know that what was it sorry what do you think it is uh for your debt minimum monthly payments all together yeah probably like five or six hundred okay that's because you just heard me say that 632 dollars 89 cents what's your phone bill uh phone bills 150 right now why does everyone have insane phone bills but i am on my last payment good and then switch over to helium for 20 a month will you actually do that so i can put it in your budget yeah good because that'll save you a lot of money it's usually it's the same towers yeah okay tp fund anything else you need to survive in life you'll know you'll nail that down in the budgeting course that you're going to go through which everyone should go through by the way if anyone needs help budgeting and sticking to a budget go through that you'll nail that down 300 for groceries follow the meal plan in there medical or health care anything outgoing gym uh i have a gym membership but i'm canceling it because the apartment apartment has a really nice gym so subscriptions do you have pets no okay no subscriptions i only have one buddy you have like a billion streaming yeah i can't i canceled all of them all including spotify you can listen to f***ing ads.

1:01:57Even your restaurant can listen to f***ing ads so the f***ing people can f***ing pay for it. Yep. Anything else I need to put in your budget to survive? Mmm. I don't think so. Because, yeah, I don't have, like, any other stuff going on besides, like, going out and all that, all those things.

1:02:21Yeah. You and your friends are having nice inside hangouts or they're paying for you just explain your situation let them know what's actually going on and more people would be supportive with it than you'd think and if they're not then they're not actually your friends when my friends are like my you know like i'm like oh let's go let's go be fat at a restaurant like you know it doesn't really fit in the budget i'm like let me pay for you if i really want to go because like you know if they can't afford it they can't afford it but i'm like i want to have this experience together so we do it

1:02:53okay income that came in well it's not good 2899 which is giving us basically no wiggle room and 12 cents minus what you need to survive minimum is 2742 dollars and 89 cents because you just got an insane rent for your situation doesn't make any sense you don't have a car payment right no thank you it's your car uh 2013 toyota camry okay miles 193 000 how's she doing good after i got all my repairs good because the mechanic i've been going to him for like three years he said either make these adjustments or you get a new car he's like it's going to cost you but you get these fixes it's your long it's your long-term baby and then like so on so forth so I just went with that versus getting stuck with a new insurance, new car payment, all that stuff.

1:03:50You're not going to use movers, are you, in this new place? I thought about it. Don't. Don't. Don't. Build some muscle. All right. You have friends. You told me. Yeah, I do. They'll be willing to help. At the U-Haul, it's much cheaper. Okay. $156.23 is what you have left over. So, I mean, it's really not an option. with that situation the debt that you have

1:04:17plus the mom is $33 ,749.52 divide that by the leftover money you have without having a single cent of fun which is basically impossible would be 216 months or 18 years is it going to be 18 years until you pay off your debt I don't want it to be until you start retirement until you start an emergency fund no that doesn't make sense so you either need to get a better job or you need to work a second job i need you to bring a minimum an extra 1 500 a month minimum minimum minimum minimum you're young i'd like to consider us young you have more energy than you will in years to come use it now pay off the debt now while you have the opportunity to bring in an extra 1500 bucks you bring it down from whatever that is to 22 months or basically two years i mean come on 18 months or 18 years or two years i prefer two years yeah what do you prefer i'd prefer two okay and are you okay working 60 hours a week to get this or finding another job utilizing wait how long have you been aagm i last week never mind you're not gonna be able to utilize that that much to find a similar job right because the old my old gm left so it's just me and the other gm right now so we're basically cranking every single day it's gonna be hard to shop for a better position in that same kind of industry with only a week on your resume so you're likely that's why that's why i'm kind of staying right now it's just to build a better resume sure um work another job buddy bring an extra 1500 bucks a month net because we have a a set schedule or at least the way that my gm is set up right now he can only work mornings really so if he's okay with me i'm gonna have a conversation with him too it's like hey i can come if i can come at three or four to work the night then so i can work this am job somewhere else so yeah i need you to work an extra 60 to 70 hours a week yeah because that's i mean by the way how are you paying for like a security deposit on the new place you're negative in your checking account um i put aside some stuff like i put aside some money i asked him like so you do have money put your negative in your checking account but you have money on the side um i i do now like i was able to put what do you have like right now i have like 50 bucks because i paid for the deposit and oh you paid for the deposit yes how much was it it was 250 250 with fees and or like that security deposit yeah yeah because my credit checked out good so um even still yeah it's i was able to get a good deal out of it okay all right so let me get your hammer financial score spending a budget it was absolutely ridiculous and you didn't even know how much you were spending and oh yeah you're a negative checking account and you like yeah okay and you had to put off a payment okay yeah crazy zero out of ten debt nothing in collections no borrowing from our parent definitely not good i'm excited to see no one sniff that post show your debt i'm gonna say one out of ten because it's pretty bad for your situation but you don't have collections or irs debt emergency phone there's nothing in retirement there's nothing in real estate there's nothing i'm gonna be 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 and a one-on-one financial coach who can help you if you need extra help.
