0:00A KFC tale in the pursuit of flavor. The holidays were tricky for the Colonel. He loved people, but he also loved peace and quiet. So he cooked up KFC's$4.99 Chicken Pot Pie. Warm, flaky, with savory sauce and vegetables. It's a tender, chicken-filled excuse to get some time to yourself and step away from decking the halls, whatever that means. The Colonel lived, so we could chicken. KFC's Chicken Pot Pie, the best$4.99 you'll spend this season. Prices and participation may vary while supplies last. Taxes, tips, and fees extra. Hi, I'm Adriana Lee. I'm 23 years old and I'm based in Austin, Texas and this is financial audit.

0:38So this is a follow-up episode. You don't have to see the other episode. This is just going to be like any other financial audit other than I'm going in more blind because I like to go in blind on follow-ups and see just how you've done. Now I am in a little bit of pain as the Apple card which is like I don't have to look very hard to see what this is$7 ,162 on an Apple card. But last time there was like a weird tax situation of just not paying taxes, saving up for taxes. And then you're in a lot of debt and you were spending so much money on just you just like bad stuff. Yeah, that is true. But I have done my taxes.

1:18You did your taxes. Yeah, you did your taxes. How was that? It was good. It was a little bit confusing. But and it costs a lot of money to get done. But yeah, that's OK because they're finally done. You paid a CPA to do it? Cool. How are we preparing for this next year? Are you paying quarterly? No. Okay. But I probably should. I don't know too much about taxes. Well, how many years have you been claiming this as your primary income and everything? You're a Twitch streamer. Yeah, I'm a Twitch streamer. Link in the description. But I also stream on Kik, and I post on every social media. I'm like an influencer everywhere, I guess.

1:56So and not what was it called? It's not fans. No, it's it was fan house, but it recently shut down, which was a little bit of a crisis for me. But it rebooted as passes. So it's the same thing, but it's just under a different name. OK, how much money you bring in on average on a monthly basis right now? Let me pull my phone out because I have my it's really like. because May is when I first, when we filmed the last one and I made in total because I also have other streams of income, um,$6 ,769. And then in June I was bawling a little bit. I made$10 ,484. Very nice. But then in July I made 4 ,700.

2:47What happened? What happened? I don't know. No, no, no, no. Where'd the income source get hit the most? Well, in July, this was, I still, FanHouse was still a thing. It's just sometimes, like, we'll have people, like, as a content creator, you'll have, like, people who want to support, you know? And then they'll, like, go away. Like, they'll show up, drop a big donation, if it's, like, on Twitch, or show a lot of support on FanHouse, and then they'll, like, disappear. And if you want to support, I'm not asking for money. I'm just asking to hit that subscribe button. We're trying to get to 750 ,000 subscribers.

3:19Let's go! Yeah, but didn't you say you're going to start streaming? You know, I've thought about streaming. I'm trying to justify, especially if it's like Twitch. You know, I could stream on YouTube. I'm not as educated on that. But if I stream on Twitch, you know, it's a 50-50 split. And I know the time, you know, versus the money. Plus, my team's already working, you know, full hours. Do they work more? I don't know. I love connecting with the audience in different ways. We're trying to figure out the best way to do it. That's why I stream on Kik. Because you get 100 % of what you make. I struggle with the gambling aspect.

3:54Yeah, but you don't have to gamble. No, I know. I know. Because I don't gamble. I'm a little torn on that. Torn. But Twitch used to have gambling. 100 % either way. Their owners gamble in company. Again, torn. I'm not like anti, but I'm also not pro. We won't get into the Twitch versus kick debate. No, sure. Because I'm honestly just not really educated on it because it's not my platform anyway. So of the income sources that come in, what took the hit that decreased your income by 50 % that month? Fanhouse? Yeah. Okay, so Fanhouse dropped by like 5 ,000 subscribers? Or$5 ,000? In terms of like, and I took a vacation that month, so I wasn't really like working.

4:41Because I took like a week-long vacation to Mexico, which was paid for by a family friend. So that's another reason I was like away from my computer all the time. I wasn't really like staying on top of like replying to people or streaming or whatever. Vacations are good. And I think everyone in normal jobs are vacations. And we're doing like a week of vacation here shortly. But like, am I going to be really on vacation? It's hard to say. I think when you're in the social media space, content creator space, I unfortunately don't think in the grind that there are vacations. And I'm not saying that as like, I want you to work.

5:15You have to work. I'm just being a realist as of being in this position. Oh, I know. And I've had videos scheduled during my vacation because I try to keep YouTube consistent at least. And my reels, obviously, because I do Instagram reels. It's my main short-form content that does well. Okay. Oh, very nice. Yeah. Okay, so then we went to August. August was also$4 ,500. That's not a good trend. But then recently, September, I've made$9 ,000. Very good. Where was the bounce up? But I also have contracts that I can't really talk about right now with certain platforms. And I'm also doing contract work as well.

6:01So what made up the additional$5 ,000, though, this month so far? So$4 ,000 last month. Passes. Okay. So now that that's back up and running, people have converted pretty well. Yeah. And my contract work. So, which I can't say. Because I already asked. I asked, like, oh, am I allowed to talk about this? And they're like, no. No, no, no. We don't have to say who it is or what it is. Are you allowed to say financially what you might benefit? Yeah. Like, my contract work that I have right now, I make at least$1 ,000 extra a month. Okay. And then. It's not very much. Hopefully it's not using a ton of your time.

6:39And I'm doing a partnership with passes as well. Oh, good. So. Oh, that's good. So, yeah. So, it's been about, it's been like six months. What? It's been like six months. It was May. Last time I was here. May's not six months. Okay, it's been like four months. Yeah. Four or five months. And also, I moved, so I went. Well, you did still four or five months. Why is this credit card? No, listen to me. Before we get into this, I moved. And you know how much moving is. I've moved every single year of my life since I've left high school. Really? Yes. Don't you hate it? Yes. Well, except for when I was in my condo, that was the first time where I stayed somewhere for more than a single year.

7:17Yeah, but you like own your places. And well, that's only recently. And still for 10 years, though, since living in my house, every single year I moved at least once. Okay. Because moving with like, like having to pay like the first and last month rent and then the security deposit and then I have cats or the pet deposit. and then I hired movers to help me move. You didn't have to hire movers, though. I did. Why? Because I'm only me. You have friends here. I know you have friends here. I'm seeing your friends here on Friday or Saturday. You've seen my cute little girlfriends around here that are not going to lift stuff.

7:55And you know you have. You haven't seen any buff, muscular men. You didn't ask me. I'm not buff or muscular, but you didn't even ask me. Would you try to help me move? Well, no, but you didn't. Exactly. I know you're busy and my other guy friends are busy. I'm busy and fat, but you could have asked. I would have appreciated an ask. I'm not going to. I feel bad asking for help. No, I'm kidding. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yes, yes, yes. And that's why we have money to be able to pay it. Even still, after five months, you know, we talked about having savings on the side, stuff like this. You know, getting like a one-month emergency fund, all those lovely things, which can help offset that.

8:33Okay, yeah. You did not do. I had saving. I had more savings than I do in this pile, but I used them to pay my, because I had to pay double rent for one month. Yep. So I had to use it. Which, okay, perfect. Like, that's what I, if an expense like that comes up, that would be good. But why is the credit card debt? Why are we at 7 ,162 horrible debt dollars? That's in my snowball. That one's next. So walk us through where you've been in the last five months in your journey then. Um, I paid off three of my cards out of five and that's one of my biggest cards and it's not paid off yet. It's my second to last snowball.

9:12And do you have a one month emergency fund currently? No, but I have half a month. I get to a month because it's just risky. It's dangerous because actually I have eventually I want you to be like a nine to 12 month emergency fund because you're like a business owner and on the content creation side, it's so ebb and flow of you've seen. so I want that's like that's what I have and I want you to have that as well so that you're safe on the side I want you to at least have a one-month emergency fund before we start aggressively paying off debt okay oh also um I wanted to mention I also spent a lot of money recently on furniture to furnish my house you did not have to do that um I don't want to hear it from you because I saw your financial audit and you finance all your yeah because I can afford it though yeah but

10:27You know why? Online is in club. I'm not against financing. Financing is a great tool for those who can leverage it. I used it because instead of dropping$15 ,000 in the moment, I invested it and I'm paying it off before the 0 % kicks in. You, we are in bad credit card debt with interest accruing, just dealt with a tax situation, have a half of a month emergency fund. Half of a month emergency fund. And you went and got furniture that, by the way, you hired movers to move furniture. So did we really need to go? Yeah. Why do we need new furniture though? Because I went from a small two bedroom to a house.

11:05Okay. So we wait till we're out of debt to get furniture. It's a want though. The extra furniture. Because you had the furniture you needed. I guess so. Yeah. But I wanted other furniture. And I've been a little, I've been savvy about it. Because I. You're too savvy. What is this? You've gone from$6 ,800. I've been savvy. $67 to your previous balance. To now$7 ,482. A card that's supposed to be snowballed, but you're adding money to it. How? You went from$6 ,800 to$6 ,74. Oh, you know why? What? Because I'm still paying off my iPad. No, that's not why. Because there's Apple Bill, Apple Bill, Tropical Smoothie, Taco Bell, Apple Bill, Tropical Smoothie, Tropical Smoothie, Apple Bill, Tropical Smoothie, Tropical Smoothie, Big cartel thing.

11:53Okay, lemonade insurance. That's fine. Then Apple Bill, Tropical Smoothie, Apple Bill, Apple Bill, Starbucks, Apple Bill, Apple Bill. what are these Apple bills? $10,$15. They're like Apple Pay swiping out, buying stuff online with the Apple credit card. You're going to kill me. You're going to kill me. You made it sound, and this is the first time I'm seeing this page and there's a hair stuck in my tongue. I apologize. This is my first time looking at this page. I didn't even know this was coming, but I was feeling it coming. But you set up the expectation. And this is in August. That was like, what do you mean?

12:23Of course, we're looking at your most recent 30-day statement. You can't just change things for two days and call it good. I can't diet for two days and say I'm on a diet. And I'm doing well. I actually do have something for you.

12:40Here. I think you'll like it.

12:47But you spent money on this. Yeah, but that's okay. I don't want the other one. I got some for myself

12:59One's chicken and one's steak

13:03I guess I should See what this actually tastes like I've never had one You've never had one? I'm 7-Eleven now Really? They're so good

13:15Okay it's delicious And I would destroy the whole thing See Are they not worth it? No not when you're in debt What if you're hungry? Then you make a sandwich. Well, I actually did make a sandwich before I came here. It was with cheese and spinach and onion and meat. I mean, you make the sandwich you want to make, but you also went to Starbase. And all these$10,$15,$9,$9,$5,$17, all these apple things, so I don't even know what they are. And I don't either. That's bad. That's bad. And I know, but guess what? Because you're going every single second of your life. I also been tracked there's a little kick to it yeah I also have been I canceled well I canceled a lot of subscriptions too these are not all subscriptions though I thought maybe they were some are yeah but like unless you have like 30 subscriptions I don't know this is you swiping your Apple card or doing Apple pay and it's coming up as Apple bill you're spending so much money that's what it comes up as that makes sense then yes you're spending so much money on a card that you can't even pay off Yeah, that's true.

14:2524.24 % interest rate. Oh, I didn't know that was included in this. What do you mean? Like, I didn't know this page was included. Yep, there's your financed Apple, financed Apple, financed Apple. But yeah, that's just the last of my snowball. I know, but you're spending on it. If you're going to follow the snowball, don't spend on it. Okay. And also, if you're in the snowball trying to get out of debt, we're not going to smoothies every day. We're not going to Uber Eats. But also, I have something to say. August was also hard because that was my first month switching from fan house to passes. So I didn't have a lot of money at the beginning of August.

15:00So you put all the food that wasn't necessary. There wasn't a single necessary purchase on here. So you cannot justify that. What? There has to be at least one necessary purchase. Let me see. Lemonade. Lemonade insurance. Yeah. One. The rest was two because I have two charges. Yes. Uber Eats, Uber Eats. $143 was squeezed from you. Squeezed from you in interest. Yeah, I'm not proud of that. We're having this conversation because I'm your friend. I am going to your birthday. My introverted being dragged out on Saturday. And I'm here to learn. You're here to learn. And this is the conversation I wish someone had with me a decade ago when I was.

17:02Well, be nice, be nice. We shouldn't. Someone came on because I watch your channel. Obviously, I originally came to your channel and came on the first time because I watched your channel for like a minute. And I was like, oh, he's from Michigan? I'm from Michigan. And I live in Austin. Anyways, besides the point, that's how I found you in the first place. And then I saw someone else go on your channel that was like, everyone's been so supportive and helpful in the comments. Y 'all are mean to me. Y 'all are hell are mean. You guys should always be nice because you're a b**** for coming on, trying to get help, giving us an update, putting your situation on display.

17:35other people are going to relate to. So everyone should always be nice. There should be a positive, supportive area in the comment section, but I know it's hard. I know it's difficult. And it's okay. I'm a content creator. I'm used to it. Yes, the internet is full of faceless nameless assholes, and that's something that is unfortunately impossible for anyone to control. What's the minimum monthly payment on this, by the way? Oh,$2.94. Oh, yeah, it is high on that. I forgot. Losing so much money on that interest, dude. Hello, Adriana. Oh, so which one's paid off? We have a paid off one. How does that feel?

18:11It feels good. Yeah, that's awesome. That's really good. So when was this paid off? Well, I did pay it off in June, but then I used it again. But I paid it off at the beginning of the month. Do you pay it off every time? Does it ever accrue interest? I don't think so. There was no interest charge. So I'd be nervous with where you've been. To do credit cards and stuff like that because you could easily fall into a trap. Wait, this is a different – this is American Express. Yeah. So, oh. I can't see the interest. I don't think so. It almost kind of tastes like a Hot Pocket. Yeah, it does. So – You came back to that.

18:53Okay. Yeah, so I'm nervous about credit cards with you. Nervous. Obviously. But well done. Thank you. This is good. This is – we can celebrate this. This is fantastic. We're celebrating with the taquito. Yeah. The taquito. Absolutely. I don't like that you spent money on it, but... It's okay. It was like... Goofs and gags, I get it. Yeah. It's a business write-off. It's in the video. So the Amex. Yeah, that's... New Chargers 293. This is my last snowball. It's your last snowball, but why are we putting money on it? Why are we putting money on it? Because a lot of things are already hardwired to auto-pay to that.

19:28Change it. It takes two seconds of your life. I know. Okay, so... But I'm also scared. because what if I auto pay a bunch of things to not have credit card and then I go under, like what's it called? Wait, wait, wait. What if I auto pay things to my debit card and then it overdraft? No, no, it's because you always, I would always have$1 ,000 in your checking account. Okay. What? That's not the case right now. I have like$500 as of today. Okay, so I would just try to get to a point where we have$1 ,000 in your checking account. Okay. The minimum monthly payment on this I'm trying to figure out.

20:05The minimum monthly payment last time was expensive because you're going to be mad. It was$300 over the limit. Why? But I just paid it off. See? See? You may as well overdraft at that point. Overdraft would be worse. Because clear. You know why? Because I did this. Clear. It does it every year. Where you go. I know. But if your balance was right there to begin with, dude. because it got charged yearly i didn't prepare for that there's just you didn't you should but the holidays mean more travel more shopping more time online and more personal info in more places that could expose you more to identity theft but lifelock monitors millions of data points per second if your identity is stolen our u.s based restoration specialists will fix it guaranteed or your money back don't face drained accounts fraudulent loans or financial losses alone Get more holiday fun and less holiday worry with LifeLock.

21:02Save up to 40 % your first year. Visit LifeLock.com slash podcast. Terms apply. All these other ones that are on here anyway shouldn't be there. Oh, you know why Clear is on there? Because I got an American Express deal where it was like 50 % off the first year if you use your American Express card. So I was like, okay, sure. Cool. That's great. That's awesome. But we still have Prime Video, another Prime thing. Amazon Prime and your Google Storage on here. Again, if we didn't have these recurring charges on here, and the minimum monthly payments would at least be slowly paying this down, and then maybe at that point, when a$259 charge comes in, sure, it would bring it up, but would it go over the balance?

21:38Maybe not. I don't know. Yeah. But you're putting on here, dude. So what's your minimum monthly payment on this? Because I can't see it. I would say like$300. Okay, I would say$300.

21:56and I don't know how much

22:02the intro what do we have here customized cash reward this is my first ever credit card current balance is negative so we're paying good because I had to use it a couple times so I paid it right away that's why it's negative beautiful which is great which is great I still don't think Well, we have those other debts that we should be doing Uber Eats, Hulu, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon, Amazon Well, I was buying furniture I don't think we would be getting furniture As we've clearly discussed I got it from Amazon, it was cheap Fuck you, it was money And you were overspending on a credit card That you already If we can't pay off credit cards that we have We are not getting things we don't need Especially all that bullshitting on the Apple card was fucked Well, once you see my place you'll be like damn for real i promise it's really well furnished congratulations one i don't care about that kind of stuff and two it's like i would rather you be out of debt every single day every single day over me being like but i also feel like but i also feel like it's like i'm living like i'm working at my debt on my own pace because i've already i've done okay listen Okay, let me finish So I am working at my own pace And I'm also living in a comfortable environment Of my house Because it was all empty and not comfortable And what's the point of like Going from an apartment to a house If it's just gonna I'm just gonna treat it like an apartment Why did you go from an apartment to a house?

23:36So I can have more space Mostly to make content Maybe you didn't need to do that yet Because I'm doing lifestyle content now Maybe you didn't need to do that yet Until you were out of the bad day Yeah, but I Mind you, you're over the credit card balance. Okay. But you're lucky because you have your niche, and you are happy with the content that you do. I do content, but I'm not particularly ecstatic about it or passionate about it. I'm passionate about my show. Yes. But I haven't been able to do my show because of my apartment. It's such a small space, and I had it in the smallest little space.

24:13I'm going to push back on this. I know. Oh, well, start with what you have is what you're going to tell me. And I did. Yes, and I did too. I did too. It was in my little dining nook in my small condo with two rented cameras. But I waited and. Not until you could afford it though. I only got a studio when I could afford it. You didn't. You're losing$500. No, no, no. You're losing$600,$700 on interest a month from the cards. And you were over a max on a credit card. Dude, this is. I'm not beating you up. This is out of love. I want you to do better. Because imagine you being able to fully focus on your content creation because you didn't have to worry about debt to pay off.

24:49Yeah, I guess I just get too excited when I get passionate about a new project, so I just want it to happen. And that's fair. I get that with real estate. I get that with real estate. And, you know, I've made some impulsive decisions that I'm learning, you know, to deal with. None of them have been, have negatively affected me because I'm still relatively smart about them. But yes, I at least get that concept and the mindset around it. I'm just... We're not spending including that furniture until we are out of bad debt. No more. Just prioritize. You're free to make any content you want to make when you don't have obligations to a debt company.

25:30Yeah. Right now you have obligations. They're holding you back. I guess it's just like the struggle with content creation. It's like I... Talk about it. I have had like this niche, but I want to venture into different niches and different audiences. How would you describe your current niche? My current niche is Omegle and like, what's it called? Like improv audience work. So I'll like go to the bars and I will like interview people and like make jokes and like kind of like troll. And then I'll do the same on Omegle. I'll like come up with a character. Like I'm going to be weeb. So I'm like on Omegle like saying all this weeb stuff.

26:11You know what a weeb is? You don't know what a weeb is? you're not that much older than me I found out after watching I'm 23 and you don't know what a weeb is? it's like a fan of anime it's like kind of cringe and you're like meh you know anyways but I just make up characters and then I'll go on Amigle and see how people react to them so that's what I do and I like it it's a creative process acting out as a character but it's it's just like a rinse and repeat kind of thing I do which I'm like fine with it but I want to do content that makes me feel more fulfilled on a creative level so tell me about that what do you want to do so I like production so I really like my show called drinking with jury that I haven't like done this whole year because of the money really like I've just paused it because I haven't done it since February because I can't really afford to do it right now which makes sense and um I like coming up with a production and a talk show where I like bring my friends on and like other content creators and we talk about like the industry and we talk about like it's like you put down like the like content creator wall and you just like talk like people like that's the point of my show which I really am passionate about and then I want to make content that is just more of the content I consume you know like commentary and like um like creative I don't know I don't I've had I have so many ideas but I don't have a way to execute them yet.

27:40Yeah. Don't you think you get more freedom to try those new ideas if you do not have like a$600 a month obligation to a balance you've accumulated and you continue to accumulate? I feel like the thought of credit cards has never really hindered me because I know a lot of people have really bad anxiety of holding debts and a lot of the comments I've seen you guys comment like, oh my god, I'm stressing over$1 ,000 and this girl has$11 ,000. It doesn't really put me in a state of anxiety having this debt because I know or I have faith that eventually I'll be able to take care of it. There's some...

28:23And I'm working towards it. There's some quote in the world of faith and I'm not going to get it right, but it's like faith without action is like... Did you see how much I was making last time? I also saw you putting$1 ,500 on the Apple card that's having interest get charged like crazy. But I've also paid off cards, and I've made a lot more money than last time. You've made progress, but I am not one. It's only been four months. I am not one. It's been five rounded. And you've told me that it's going to take years for me to even touch the credit card. Sure. And I've done it in four months. Listen.

28:56Five. I am not one person. I am not a person who, if I care about people, I am going to excuse bad behavior, though. I celebrated the cards you paid off like this card this is awesome this is great yeah thrilled but if we just sit here and say everything's perfect everything's fine I'm not saying everything's perfect no no no but if we don't call out what's more disastrous yeah I'm not doing my job I'm doing a disservice and I'm not doing to you what I would do to any friend or what I would want someone to do to me okay so I get what you're saying I do I want you to have more creative freedom And for what it's worth, yes, you're right.

29:35I've been incredibly blessed. And it's all thanks to these amazing people. I've been beyond blessed. But I kind of get what you're feeling. I'll be honest. In general, I actually really don't like this job. I mean, that's what happens when you take something that you have as a hobby and you turn it into a job. It feels like a job. It's a little different for me. I love these conversations. And I like working with my team and all that stuff. I don't like the online pressure. I don't like even – I'm very blessed to have an audience because it pays the bills. The number next to it gives me a lot of anxiety.

30:11There's a lot of people. And the bigger you get, the more people out there, random people you'll never meet, assume that you're some evil person who's doing whatever and all this crap. And that kind of stuff, it gets to me. It gets under my bones. So I get what you're saying. I really do. I can relate. It is really hard. I mean, like the comments I've gotten on the last financial audit I was on, it's like most they're very misogynistic. And it's very like, oh, well, she should just start only fans or oh, well, she'll find some dumb guy and he'll take her under her wing and put a baby in her. And I'm like, why are they saying that's like quote for quote when I just read recently.

30:49But it's like to the point where my therapist told me to stop reading the comments on the financial audit because it's easier said than done. You know what I mean? I can sit here and say, you can't let it get to you, but it does get to me from time to time. If I'm having a bad day and I see something that I probably shouldn't have even looked at for my own mental health, it throws me off the edge. And then I'm crying and watching PLL all night and not doing my work when I should be editing or something. Shopping is hard. Right? But I found a better way. Stitch Fix online personal styling makes it easy.

31:24I just give my stylist my size, style, and budget preferences. I order boxes when I want and how I want. No subscription required. And he sends just for me pieces, plus outfit recommendations and styling tips. I keep what works and send back the rest. It's so easy. Make style easy. Get started today at stitchfix.com slash Spotify. That's stitchfix.com slash Spotify. I know. And especially with you, because didn't you say you just started YouTube? Yeah, it was like a year and a few months ago. Yeah. And I've been doing it for like, like consistently as a job for like three or four years. So, so make sure you're being nice.

32:00We got, uh, we've been called out correctly. So for there being some more toxic stuff in the comment section, like before it's gotten a lot better. You guys have been a lot better. And I think it's because we frame it in a different way where, I mean, it's very clear you're a bad being on here and trying to get help. so the comment sections have gotten a lot better and I really do appreciate that honestly from the bottom of my heart I really do appreciate that because I know the guests do as well because they're here to get help and they're here to help people out there so um and I am sorry that especially then before we started making that proactive effort that the comment section you can't apologize for your audience because I have people in my audience might attack people you know if I go on their show or whatever like you can't really um control I guess you can like set an example for your audience, but you can't control what your audience does.

32:47So sure. Anyways, so let's hide now. So yeah, again, I want you to get to the place where you can experiment with new content and do the content you want to do. I'm blessed. I'm doing the content I want to do. I want you to be able to do that as well. You know, I get a thrilling reward of being able to see people in the comment section and in our email and people who come back on the show or just keep us updated. You have paid off their debts and I get so excited. And I want you to have that thrill with whatever you're doing and what you want to do. Yeah. You can get there. Let's get there quicker by not putting balances on our credit cards.

33:23Okay. I can't promise you I'll be perfect, but I look alright. The only reason I don't like that, and I have to push back on that, is because you're setting yourself up for potential excuses. Don't set yourself up for excuses. No one's ever going to be perfect, but when we say that out loud, we say, oh, it's okay that I'm not perfect right now. Swipe, swipe, swipe. I've actually, I'm not going to lie. I have cut back a lot. I know it doesn't look like it, but in terms of like my thought process, when I go to like, oh, I'm so hungry. I might want to order food. I will like cook more often. You know what I mean?

33:54The good news is when you're out of bad debt, have a fully funded emergency fund, and you're contributing 20 % to your retirement. You'll want to not spend. I know. Not that. You have 30 % of your money that you can spend on whatever the you want. I don't care. We're just not there yet. So you paid this off. Again, this is awesome. I still wouldn't be doing the purchases that are on there, especially that furniture and the Uber Eats. And for everyone watching, the balance was$3 ,500. So that's good. I mean, that's really good. That's really, really good. PayPal credit. This is. You're paying people through this, right?

34:23Yeah, I pay my editors through my PayPal credit. Or I'll do my, what's it called? Not copyright sounds for my music. Yeah. I will do that through this. Can you pay this off every month? I was carrying a balance the past two months because I was in a lower time in my life. But it was$700. But now it's zero. Good. Because I started making more money this month. So I'm a little nervous having access to credit. What we do instead is we have big emergency funds to get us through those situations. But yes. Okay. So let's see here. I think we have a checking account balance. Yeah. You're just under$500.

35:02I'm squinting because I'm trying to see. PayPal stuff some Ikea probably from the moving Ikea Mooney's Burger Dutch Bro okay so remember almost every single day on that Apple card was you getting some eating out and then we're coming on here and we're continuing you know there's Venmo's out but look at my income income's great but we should but I get no I'm saying are you telling me nothing has come through I'm saying I get paid like a lot of different I have a lot of sources that's great but that money should be going towards paying off debt in ads has not all of it has but it should because you wouldn't have to deal with this right now i know no okay right now maybe but you're gonna have to you're gonna have to do don't you don't excuse don't excuse don't justify no because i am going to justify because you didn't need to buy the furniture you didn't listen for the furniture buying the furniture right and then when when When I moved, I didn't have my kitchen completely packed or unpacked.

36:03So I was ordering food. It's called unpack it and pack it like an adult. I know. What? You can't use your own laziness as the reason why. You know I'm not going to allow that. Come on. Come on. We know each other. You know I'm not going to allow that. But that is the reason, though. It doesn't mean it's good. Being lazy or not, that is the reason. Yeah, but like, that's a terrible reason. Yeah. And I agree. Good. Thrown gifts was a deposit. Oh. Mm-hmm. Thrown? Thrown gifts. A deposit. Okay.

36:43Chiquis? Chiquis love? What was that? I don't know. Coffee? Red Robin? Oh, the Red Robin? It's only$12 because it was my birthday. and um happy birthday pay off debt i got a free i got a burger but i had to buy a drink and tip i took an expensive drink well i tipped yeah happy birthday pay off debt uber uber lanta air oh my god oh my god i'll tell you this louis fish i'll tell you why i'll tell you why okay so my my friend was like please come to pax and i was like all right i'll try and then as my it got closer I was like I don't think I can financially do that right now and she said don't worry we'll pay for your Airbnb and all your food you just have to buy your airplane ticket because I get invited to PAX you know because I'm gaming content creator whatever um so come down to it when I was there I was like all right because I had like no money mind you I had like nothing and she she was like sorry like my sponsor didn't pay me so I can't pay for your food or anything and so we were splitting ubers which were like 40 bucks each and i was like super stressed and sad i didn't want to like pin on her because even though i made sure multiple times beforehand i was like are you sure are you sure are you sure because i don't really like to rely on people for that because like growing up like i had no one to rely on so when i got there and i had to pay it was just it was very stressful for me but um it was not my control and i want to throw her under the bus because she said she didn't get paid by sponsor stuff.

38:23And I'm puffed up in Sake House and Shug Soda and El Bistro. Like, come on, we're eating out a lot. A lot. That was for my trip. And then some games. Then we have... It's my bills account. Yeah, it's for bills. So the other one is a few... It's my spending account. We're not spending, though. I'm a little concerned. How did that not get across last time? You shouldn't be spending money on bull But sometimes I'll be Out and about and I have to spend money What? Like groceries? Did I read off a single grocer? It doesn't matter It does I guess there wasn't any grocery trips recently on that card No because I don't call out grocery trips Grocery trips are okay so I didn't call them out All that I called out was bull That shouldn't be Okay you're right I'm listening you're okay you're listening but i don't think you're gonna i don't think you're gonna do anything because you didn't last time you've made progress yes but you shouldn't have made progress twice as quick just a quick reminder that you have until the end of today to fill out the survey near the top of the description below four people will win 250 bucks that we'll send directly to you we're just trying to learn who our audience is and then we're going to be keeping you up to date with exciting things going on around here so don't forget to fill it out love you all thank you that's that's kind of unfair no it's not because you said okay yeah i have some spending whatever but i also have made twice the amount of income as last time in the video and you said it would take me years and it has if your income goes up that part will go quicker but i'm just doing relative to the money that has come in you should have gone at least the third is quick so i mean you 30 quicker but you're just putting all your money on just this isn't no these are These are bills.

40:11These are bills. But what you're choosing to do, lots of Uber trips. Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber, Uber. Is that in the August? Overdraft. Overdraft. Overdraft. Wee-woo, wee-woo. Overdraft. $10 overdraft. Let me see it. Because that might not be for me. Okay. So you overdraft for a reason, which I am not happy with. I'm not happy with that either. And fix it. Fix it is all I'm going to say. Fix that. That's stupid. more amazon fitness that's good are you still doing that thing where you go and get a bunch of needles and liquids in you um yes and no i don't do it because i don't really have to but because i don't really drink anymore but um it's good i haven't canceled the subscription that's not good i know because i tried to and they're like you need to give us a heads up 30 days so it should be next month that won't be there because i tried to cancel this previous month but then um i get i had to give it like a month advance so you bring in 10 000 bucks but then again are you setting 30 aside for taxes i was i said 20 aside no why 30 i don't think we're in the same tax bracket no because you're gonna have to pay things like self-employment taxes and everything like that.

41:31Yeah. Top tax bracket is like almost 40. So it's like, but I want you with self-employment taxes and everything. I write off a lot. Sure, sure. But wouldn't you rather be safe? I guess so. Instead of having to fork over some money that you don't expect it. Oh, you can see my savings account. It might be under there. I don't think so. I sent it. Oh, 900. Oh, yeah, my little. All right. It was more, and it was in the high yield, 4%. Is that correct? 4 % high yield? I don't know. Was it 4 %? I don't know. It was when you recommended me. Oh, before? Yeah. I use SoFi now because it's 4.5%. Will I get penalized for switching?

42:15No.

42:18$2 ,735 on rent. That's a lot. Wait, I pay half that. Good. But good, I was going to say because after you set 30 % aside for taxes, which you need to start doing, honestly, these next few months, I need to just start setting 50 % aside for taxes to catch up for the previous month or else you're going to have a scary tax situation again. I don't want you to have to pay penalties and all that stuff. And then you're going to want to start doing quarterly next year. Okay. Okay. So, good, you pay half of that. That's within your budget. Transportation, 5.8 % of your spending. Medical, and I bet it's that thing that you haven't canceled.

42:53Well, there's also the dental. Yeah, I had a fractured tooth. I feel like you're bringing in a good amount of money. It was 5.2 % of your spending. But all the extra miscellaneous stuff, which, by the way, was probably eating out all those Apple swipes. That's the big one? That says extra. Other large purchases. Something for KeyBank, Latitude, Restore. Oh, KeyBank is my car. Latitude is my old. Two men in a truck. An oil change. Clear me. $668 of Amazon. lots of PayPal and out a lot of that for work a lot for splitting things big cartel was it out oh that yeah that could have been for work splitting things yeah and then Apple charges as well so big cartel your BS food is likely actually closer to 10 % yeah but 10 % of your spending went to but in 10 % doesn't sound like a crazy amount and it's not and when you have no debt and a fully funded emergency fund it's not but guess what that's 10 % of your spending that could have gone towards debt yeah but the extra other things were like my car and stuff so they should be in the other side Do you hear me being upset about those?

43:54Yeah. No, I don't. No. Sorry. The extra stuff, then spruce, tiny aquatics. You know Don? No. Don's cool. He's the owner. I knew someone who worked there, though, who was actually a streamer. Who? Worked or works? Worked. Do you know John? No. John's pretty cool. He's like the big dude. Maybe. Because everyone there is super friendly. so I'm always talking to everyone in there but yeah I just got non-paid sponsorship I just got a bunch of plants from them and just some soil, the soil is hella expensive yeah aqua soil, definitely quite the expense then Ikea and stuff like that so I mean you spent a good amount of your money on probably about 10 % eating out and getting like drinks and stuff like that just the juices, the smoothies so again not a crazy percentage it's just that could have gone towards debt you're elongating your own pain in your own situation.

44:52That's what you're choosing to do. You'd rather have a little temporary fund now instead of getting rid of the debt aggressively and then being able to live up your life. I could be getting rid of it aggressively. And I would because then you can live your life. Then you have lower risks to try the other new shows. You can just do the things you want to do. $10 ,000 comes in. What's your portion of rent? $2 ,350 divided by... I got$2 ,735. Oh, but that may have been utilities and stuff. Oh, it might be then. So just divide that by two. It could be utilities because I just. Rent, mortgage, water, utilities, and electric.

45:27Nope, that's okay. So do you split utilities and all that stuff too? One, three, five, zero, divide it by two. One second. Do you split all that other stuff too? Yeah. Okay, then I'll just do the total. Okay. And we have to hire pest control right now because we have a scorpion infestation. I'm surprised that the landlord's not taking care of that. I know. I texted them and they said, oh, whatever you have to do to be comfortable. That's weird. I have a few properties that I've renovated and then rented out so that people, you know, they want places people would want to live before. But either way, whenever there's issues like that and stuff, I try to be, you know, really responsible and respectful.

46:00Yeah. It's a new house. It was built this year. So that's why the scorpions are there, apparently, because we did some research. It says that new houses are more likely to live in a new house. I have not seen a single scorpion. Well, if it was built under the net. I have pest control, though. Okay. So, I guess. I've done a DIY pest control, but it's not what it's done. No, probably not. Okay. I tried going the cheap route. Okay, what is internet, phone, all that? My phone bill is, I think,$100, but I'm paying for my mom's right now. How much is that? So$250. Total? My mom and my brother, yeah.

46:42Okay, and roommate pays for that. Okay, so$250 for phone.

46:54Your debt, looking at$600, essentially. $10. Yeah. Car insurance? My car insurance is$250. All right, whatever the food situation is at home and all that stuff, you're allowed to contribute$300 a month to the pile, and then you have, because I know a lot of it has to do with work and stuff like that too, I'm going to give you like, yeah, toilet paper and makeup fund, all that stuff, 200. It's usually, yeah, that's fine. Usually I do 100. I also recently, I don't get my hair done anymore. I did it myself this time with a box dye, which is so bad for your hair, but because of what you said last time, because I used to spend$400 getting it done.

47:37Oh, well, that's a lot. But I know women's hair is very expensive I did it myself And I've been drinking out less I haven't really gone out ever since And yeah What else is in your monthly thing? There are some insurances We'll call them 50 total of the lemonades My car I guess Is there a debt? Yeah I forgot to include it But I owe$11 ,000 on it So it's the same as my MX But you said I was in the better half of the loan because it was really... Oh, what's the rate? I forgot. Eight. Huh? Eight percent. Oh, you're in the point where the vast majority of your payments are going to principal, not interest, I see.

48:20I've paid most of it out, yeah. You've paid the interest, okay. I know, it's a lot. I got it when I was 19. What's the monthly payment? $400.

48:32I was going to give you$50 for something. What was that for? Makeup hair. No, that was$200. What about gas? Oh,$50 for the different lemonade insurances. Oh, yeah, because that's my pets. Yeah. I don't know how much I spend on gas because I don't really drive that much. $90 is what we had. Yeah, that was my one time I filled it up. Cancel everything else. Other subscriptions. Except for business stuff. Business stuff is good. Also, I need a business to pay my editors. How much goes into business? Let's just put it all in one for simplicity. Okay, I pay my editors 175 average per video. How many videos a month?

49:19It can range from... Let's do average. Let's say three. And then for shorts,$60 per short. So 60 times three, two. So 175 plus 60 times three.

49:38okay any other business expenses 705 no to make 10 ,000 I guess for business expenses um I guess makeup kind of plays into that I put that in your tp fund so it works or like props or anything I need to buy for like a stream I guess but 100 bucks a month with that cover yeah so let's call it then 805 and then let's You have other subscriptions and stuff for the business purposes, but you're fine as well. So that's eight to five. Let's just round it to a thousand for business. That's how much it was last time. Was it? Oh, cool. Okay. So let's add up your budget. And I get$50 more for food now because last time it was$250.

50:23Inflation, baby. Inflation, let's go.

50:29You think inflation hit that fast? you know the dollar store the dollar store is now the dollar 25 cent store did you know that no isn't that like absurd uh yeah surprised they didn't just lower the portion sizes they probably did that as well

50:56in fact there's no such thing as a five dollar foot long subway anymore Yeah, I did know that. That's been a while, though. So you easily have$5 ,500 left on a monthly basis. If you bring in$10 ,000, which this month you're definitely protected. Yes. If you're not f***ing around. Okay, okay. And you're f***ing around. So stop it. No, because my extra f***. This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan. Real United Airlines customers. We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat.

51:30I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way. $5 ,000, I guess you could be like, oh, you could pay toward your debt, but I've been buying furniture, and I've also had my extra moving costs. And guess what? Stop. So$5 ,500 Dude One and a half months Apple card is done Because you're not spending A single cent on it It's literally as easy as that Sure the income Might be a little less Sometimes business expenses Might be a little more But on average Month and a half Month and a half from now Dude The Apple card is done The Amex card Is done In Just over two months And then the car I would just Because An additional two months From the one and a half Yeah so At that point we're So three and a half let's call it four months let's call it four months total just be conservative with the income fluctuating the car you're right you're on the other side of it and i was just trying to finesse things but what i want to do for you is i want to make you not have minimum payments if you don't have minimum payments you're not obligated to other people meaning you can take more risk on businesses businesses last time i wasn't i knew i was aware but this time i'm more fully aware of you wanting to venture into different things, which might take a business hit.

52:56Without those, the thousand hours you have in minimum monthly payments, we're just trying to fully get rid of them so that you don't have to worry about those things. So in another, let's just call it three months, just to be super conservative, the car is done as well. So additional three months from that. It'll take six to seven months. So that's four, five, six, seven. Okay. And then it takes, minus the debts, the thousand dollars. Also, I did not take your advice for something. I still have$4 ,000 in my Robinhood. But it's in the S &P 500. I mean, that's fine. I know. It's like I'm growing, but it's also my interest rate.

53:35It is. It is. The S &P 500 has done great this year. It's not even coming close to beating the 25 % on Apple, so it doesn't make sense. I realistically could sell it, but I'm scared to sell it because I'm scared to even touch it. Fine. Do this in seven months and you don't have to. Or make it go even quicker. That's up to you. Then from there, what I need you to do is at least a nine-month emergency fund, which is$31 ,500 in a high-yield savings account at all times, while setting 30 % aside for taxes, which we did not account into this equation. So you're right. This is actually probably going to take nine months until you're fully out of the deck because you're setting 30 % aside for taxes.

54:07Nine to ten months, and you're fully out of the deck. So that's when we're doing our next episode? Sure. Okay. And just keep me updated along the way, just like everyone else. But$31 ,000, you never ask for help along the way, though. A lot of people ask for help. You did not ask for help or advice. I feel like I feel weird asking for help because I know this is like your content. It's more than that, though. You know what I mean? Because I originally. OK, let me let me be clear. I would do this if I was not if I was if we weren't making videos because I love this. OK, because I I'll tell you what.

54:38For the first financial audit I went on, I went on the show primarily because I was going to buy your three hundred dollar little private session thing. So it wasn't public. That was a long time ago. But then I was like, I'll just ask him if I can go on the show. And then you were like, are you going to go on my show? And I was like, if I'm invited to, I will. So that's why I didn't ask for help because I don't want to take advantage of your financial. You're not. Anyone who's a guest, this is, I think for a lot of people, when they're looking through a screen, it all seems fake and all that stuff.

55:11And I get that. Well, because I know how, like I've been in so many different shows. I've been so many. We're busy, but I have a team now that helps. So we want every single guest along the process because the most rewarding thing in the world, regardless of the income that comes from this, if you get out of debt and you live your amazing life, be incredible. So not for a single second. Do you think I don't want you to think for a single second that you can't reach out for help or advice? OK, always, always, always, always, always. Please. So in an additional that was like five or six months, I need you to save up 30 ,000 hours for a nine month emergency fund.

55:44And then you're perfectly fine to 50, 30, 20, 50 % of needs, 30 % on wants and 20 % on investing. Okay. Always 30 % set aside for taxes though. People always ask me what high yield savings account do I use for my own money? Some of you know by now it's SoFi. I love them. It's great for my checking account needs. It's great for my high yield savings account needs. And right now I'm getting 4.5 % interest on my monies. I love that rate on my monies. So if you want to get a great rate like that on your monies, just check out the link in the description below. I have a paid affiliate link there. You can get bonuses all the way up to$250, and I took advantage of that, and you should too.

56:27Okay. 30 %? Yes. Okay. Fine. Because I was going to do 20, but 30 so much. In fact, if I'm not mistaken. So you're right. We had conversations about 20 last time and stuff like that. But I think our boy Graham reacted and he was like, no, she could get into a dangerous situation. She should do 30. And he called me a millennial. Yeah, you're not a millennial. I'm 23. I'm on that edge, though. I fall into neither category. Well, I want to say you're not a millennial, but you didn't even know what weeb was. Weeble? Weeb. Like what a weeb is. Like you don't know a lot of internet. I don't know. Gen Z say I'm a millennial.

57:06Millennial say I'm Gen Z. I guess you're on the edge. Yeah. I'm in that weird hybrid. So either way, that's what I think. I think in a year, if you do this right, a year, year and a quarter, fully debt-free, taxes are always paid for, and you have a nine-month emergency fund, and you can just live the best life ever. How do we know what is emergency and what's not? Emergency is like, okay, something. So let's say you always have$1 ,000 in your checking account, right? And something like a car happens or something medical happens. You know, anything like that. I know. Exactly. So when that happens and it goes above that$1 ,000 in your checking account, then you use your emergency fund to pay for it.

57:47And then, but then you don't have fun until you refill that emergency fund until it's back up to normal. And then you resume life. Okay. So it's there. It's a safety net. Car breaks down. You go buy a car. Like fully breaks down, you know. And then I buy it. I don't finance it? I would not finance. Okay. No. I don't know if it's like. again as you said with like me and my financing furniture when you're very financially savvy there's ways you can finance cars and technically squeeze out an extra one two percent on your money overall and i like doing that for the average person it's not right i don't know specifically if this is a thing with taxes because i'm not really educated on that hence why i'm on the show um but with taxes isn't it like if you have a heavy car you can write it off yes because i have It's a Land Rover.

58:35When did you buy it, though? In 2019. Definitely work with your CPA. Definitely work with your CPA. I think I mentioned that to them, but they're not really hands-on. I just sent everything over. You might need a new CPA. I might, but I'm scared. It's really hard to find one to understand social media. Well, because you have the debt on that, so you can manipulate some things with your debt. Oh, also I was going to ask how your Omegle experience was. Oh, that's right. So she convinced me to go on Amigo once, and I thought of potentially doing a show out of it. I think that you should come on my video.

59:09Sure, I'll do it. Okay. I'll do it. Way too many schlong-a-dong-a-dongs for me personally. And that was pretty much the experience. And I figured out if I'm going to make a show, probably shouldn't have things flopping all over the place. Yeah, but you would just censor it or cut it out. You want to know a live show? I do it on kick because they're not as strict if we accidentally see. If I actually see a penis, I'm like, ah, and I skip it right away I don't want to pay my employees to have to censor dongs I know, my editors have a fun time with that It was, I mean, it was whatever Yeah Not for me Okay, well, who knows Maybe you'll find love on Omegle But I'll be on your show, though Yeah I'll do that We'll do Finding Caleb Love on Omegle Finding Caleb 500 dongs on Omegle I mean, if you're into that, you can find that, too You can find anything you want on Omegle I think everyone finds that on Omegle But yeah Any final thoughts?

1:00:07Any final questions? I probably do have questions but I don't know them right now That's totally okay We're all Don't hesitate to ask Let's get you out of debt Let's get you to have an amazing life Oh our next podcast Or whatever this is This show?
