The second she sees me talking to somebody else. She's talking about just your co-workers. If I'm nice to somebody, I'm nice to somebody. She was flirting with him. Who? Who? The worker. Was she flirting with you? Yeah. Okay. Just like completely switch up on the show. I had to sit down after I walked away and said that I can't do this anymore.

We're from Roswell, New Mexico. And this is Financial Audit.
1:34Whenever Colton runs the episode, we always have stripper names, don't we? I'm not a stripper. I apologize. I'm not a stripper. No, I love it. No, it's great. Dustin and Crystal. He found himself a stripper, took her home, made her into a nice country girl. It's a classic story. It's the oldest time. Oldest time. Patriotism. Love it. Not really. What do you do for a living, Crystal? I'm a stay-at-home mom. So you got the stripper pregnant? Yes. Very fast. Okay. Didn't take long. Wait, you're 22, say home mom. Okay, very good. How many kids? Just one. What's the age? He's two. Wow, so a kid of 20.
2:12A little less than traditional these days. That means you better have a nice strong income in Roswell. I don't know what the economic situation is in Roswell, I'll be honest. A lot of the times people are from or at least near somewhere where I have relative economic data that I, you know, can pull from. Roswell, I know nothing about. Mexico, not a great state in terms of the state. It's up and down. It really depends on just kind of the time of year. What do you do? So I'm a private security patrol officer. What do you make? 19 an hour. On this side, I do mechanic work to try to make up with what I can.
2:46What comes in on a weekly or bi-weekly, a monthly basis, whatever you prefer? Monthly, if we're talking just with the security side, that's going to be pre-tax about three. Well, post-tax. Probably like 20, 25. 24, 25. Okay, so 25. And then if we're bringing in what you're doing on the side, what's coming in with that? It could be anywhere from 100 a week to 700 a month. But what's average? What's normal? Let's say like, we'll say like 200. We can say on an average about 300 a month. Okay, so 2 ,800? Family of three? Yep. I'm going to start pulling some analytics and some statistics, but as I do, how the f*** are we living on that?
3:42We're not. Barely. Okay, let's have more of an answer than that. We make do with what we can. Yeah, that's about right. Do we? Well, we try. What is making do? No, no, no. Tell me, what does life look like? Well, we struggle to pay our bills, struggle to be able to even afford household essentials. But that's where him working, his job's on the side, that money helps us. But then... Is family near? Yeah. Okay. Do they all work? I mean, my mom's a stay-at-home mom as well. Can she not watch the kids so you can go double this household income like literally immediately? Not really. Why? Because we don't want to have our son raised by someone else.
4:30I'm really. Hold on. I was very much raised by my parents. However, I was at my grandparents' and aunt place Monday through Friday for daycare, including even when I was older during summer breaks. I was still very much raised by my parents. I don't consider them to have raised me in the slightest. It's daycare. It's being washed. You're still right. What? My wife's been really, how would I put this, really protective of our son. And so I've made the conscious decision to say that probably we should most likely just have her stay at home so she can watch our son grow. Well, so you're both 100 % aligned on that.
5:07Yeah. Stay at home mom's not bad, but the household just can't make bills due. And the meaning the kid's going to live in a more stressful environment growing up than being washed by grandma. I think one's more stressful, watching mom and dad argue. Do you guys argue about money? Yes. Okay. I think that's going to lead to a more stressful environment. And seeing bills not paid. Listen, I'll tell you. Why am I a little bit of a c*** about money? Why am I a little obsessed about money? Why did I focus on money? I saw foreclosure notices on the house. Okay? I saw that. I saw bills not being able to be paid.
5:41I saw not being able to do the activities that a lot of other people did. Or once we did, it was because they put a second mortgage on the home. I saw them bicker about money. It's not good. It's stressful. It turns you into a... You don't want one of me. So that's more important than having grandma see the kid a couple times a week. Couple times a week. Let's say you have a part-time job just to make bills due. Listen, in order to live comfortably in Roswell, you know, costs about 28 % lower than the U.S. average, 90 % lower than the New Mexico average. and actually a standalone in the metro area suggests$2 ,430 is enough to be sufficient for what it's worth.
6:23Okay, what's going on in the communication of money? What's going on in this relationship? What's happening? I have an issue with overspending or not following a budget very well. Well, good. Sounds like you know what's going on. Why are you on this show? Probably to get yelled at. And by the way, this is what happens every single time. someone comes and they say, because, oh no, I'm on camera. I'm going to say the reasonable thing out of the gate. And then all of a sudden we find out what actually happens down the road. But I did hear you actually did do something reasonable that I think we can celebrate out of the gate.
6:55I mean, you paid off a firm. Yep. Which is good. Yeah. Well, actually. What is well actually with paying off a firm? He took out of his 401k to pay it off. He completely slated his 401k. You consider that when you tell the producers that you paid off a firm. I have... The interest I was getting off of my 401k was less than what the... Okay, what happens if you get fired and they call that 401k loan due? It wasn't a loan, it was a hardship. Wait, you took out? You full with Drew? I did. What's the interest on the Affirm? It was 35. Are you taking any account that the Affirm would be paid off within a few months and that is money in the market that would be growing over the course of decades?
7:39I weighed the options versus what we were having to put out monthly to try to... Did you weigh the option of every single time someone takes a shortcut, they immediately build the debt up again because you didn't change any behavior to actually pay it off? All you did was just take money from somewhere else and put it on it? I mean, yeah, but we expected to probably change attitudes and adjust. Oh, afterwards. Which he didn't. Which he didn't? He racked up a firm again. It was for a valid reason. What the f*** do you think is valid? A gay little cowboy hat's not valid. Oh, I've had this hat for a while.
8:11Been gay for a while, all right. Sometimes. Yeah, he is very Brokeback Malinesque. All right, so. I only say it because you can tell he's offended. We had to, my bulletproof vest for work ended up pretty much just falling apart on me. So I had to end up. Why, you got shot that many times? No, it's just that old. I've had it for seven years. I had to end up purchasing another vest with plates. There will always be something when you take a shortcut to pay off a debt. there will always be something that pops up that you will use to justify. If that happened, you would have found another way to pay for it.
8:47There will always be something that pops up. My guy. Our AC also broke down. There will always be something that pops up. I suppose that's why an emergency fund is there. Yeah, that's why one would be there. Is it there? No. Okay, so what do you say that's why an emergency fund is there? Okay, so what is it? I feel like you disagree on this. No. I mean, he's a problem. No, the 401k withdraw? Oh, yeah. What's the conversation around this? Because this is impacting the household retirement. I mean, I tell him, like, that's not a good idea. Like, we should find other ways to pay it off. But, like, he's just so convincing.
9:26And, like, in the moment, he's like. Or manipulative or gaslighting. A little bit of all that, yeah. Really? I was more just saying that, but. Yeah, it's just kind of, it's just whatever he says goes. Why? I feel like we just, we have conversations over it and then it ends up with us bickering. How often are we having conversations about our finances? Multiple times a day, probably. No. Yeah, most likely. Tell me. Just give me an example of a recent one. So it could go just from what we're going to eat that day. Like, we could be like. Okay, and then walk me through that conversation because that cannot lead.
10:06How long have you guys been together? Seven years. How the fuck are we making another seven if we're doing multiple a day as little as just what we're doing for food? Go on, tell me, please. Sure. So I'll say, hey, let's eat something. And she'll go, okay. And that's all I get. I'll communicate. What do you want? What do you need? What do you want from me? And I'll get absolutely nothing. I'll just be like, whatever you want to eat because I don't want to upset him. Upset? Would he be upset? Well, if I say that. Do you want her pork chops for dinner? Well, he'd probably be fine with that. But just like if I say, oh, let's get McDonald's, just like again.
10:43Or things like that. So she says whatever you want and? Half the time it's just I don't want to answer. I don't want to have to go spend money. I don't want to have to do anything. Well, if it's whatever you want, do you have to go spend money or can you just make food? He likes to buy food. I do sometimes like to buy food. So what's the point then? No, no, no, no. know because you just said you're upset that she says whatever because that means you have to spend money you don't want to spend but if you like to spend money what the f**k you're talking about because i'm trying to talk about what a deflection you say hey i'm hungry what do you want she says oh whatever you want you're like wow you're making me go spend money what do you what what's the argument there well he agrees and then we go get the food and then he buys all this like large amount of food and i'm like you did not need that much food yeah it's also not good for you bottoming later, so.
11:29Yeah. And then it's just like, just constant like, he makes a decision I don't agree with it and I get upset. So we can't have a conversation about what we're able to spend? That's about right. Do we try to have the conversation? I try to. Okay, so tell me. Okay, walk me through that. I try to have a conversation first. Sure. So I'll try to sit down and say, hey, can we please have a talk? Can we just sit down and communicate about what we need to do here? and I will get her to completely clam up, completely just shut down. Hold on. We don't call it that. Well, like, I just feel like if we try and have a conversation, it just leads to nothing because the behavior will continue to carry on.
12:15So very different perspectives on this. I try to have a conversation. I try to have a conversation. Nothing happens. What is the I try to have a conversation from both ends, but nothing happens? What do you try to say? I mean, I just try and like lead to like, we make a budget. And I have a sit down, make a budget, list everything down, see how much money is coming in. You make a budget. Yeah. And then like I have, like show him. Yeah. So you don't make a budget together. She makes a budget. Correct. And then I look at it after the fact. And? I usually go, okay, great. That looks fantastic. And then as soon as most of the important bills are paid, if there's any extra money in the account, I tend to.
12:52So why? Why are you f***ing this entire household? Self-confessed. Sounds like you're the bad guy. What are you doing, my dude? You try to blame her for saying she's not saying where she wants to go for dinner? But you're the one going and blowing the money. Are you blowing money? Whenever we agree to go eat out, like that's about all I do. How often are we eating out? Probably a few times a week, maybe. But if you're struggling to survive, struggling to pay bills, self-confessed, how are we doing that? $800 going out to eat alone in this last month. How the fuck are we concerned about paying bills if we're blowing nearly$1 ,000 on that?
13:31Miscellaneous bullshit is almost$400 on top of that. Yeah. What is going on? Well, that doesn't make any sense. How can we even be trusted? I work overnights. So for me, I'm sleeping most of the day, so it's hard for me to want to wake up, try to cook food, stuff like that. That happens at any time of the day. Why doesn't, huh? I'm sorry. Your schedule's just shifted. Why does it, how does that change? I've done nights. I did nights in college. He's driving around a lot. And so like he like doesn't have many stops. So whenever he can. He can pack food like a big boy? I mean, yeah. It's hard to pack food when I don't have time.
14:13It's always me waking up late. Why isn't she? You're a stay-at-home mom. I take care of her son. Take care of him as well. He's going out and making money. Just pack lunch. He's really picky as well. Well, stop being a little 20 little bitch. You're 24. Shut the fuck up. And also make food based on his pickiness then. I don't know. If you know his pickiness. He likes expensive stuff like meats and stuff. Like that's what he likes. Lunch meat can be okay. He doesn't like lunch meat. He doesn't like cold food either. He just said he's down for lunch meat. I'm fine with lunch meat. Okay. Just like completely switch up on the show.
14:44It's fine. That happens quite often. Yeah. What's the switch up, big guy? Not much. It's just I don't feel like I asked a whole lot. I asked for just basic toast. No, you don't. You'd be asking for briskets and just all the kinds of meats. I do like meat. I do like protein. He's a big meat eater.
15:08And that's expensive. And I don't like cooking either. You're saying he's switching up on the show, though. Yeah. Because I feel like he doesn't like lunch meat. You've never asked. You've never asked me what you'd like me to cook for me for lunch or for anything. Well, before his son, like, I remember packing him lunches and, like, I did make lunch, like, sandwiches for him. And, like, after a while, he got tired of that and he didn't want that anymore. So I feel like I'm thinking back to that time and, like, he's still tired of that. So I don't know. Maybe. No, it's just conversations like that don't really come up.
15:45Why don't we bring them up? It's immediately shut down. I can bring it up just really fast. So you shut down conversations. I feel like I don't, but maybe I do. I don't know. It's absolutely a shutdown. It's immediate. I try to get through and then it's, nope, I'm already upset because she remembers something from the past and just doesn't let anything go. Whole lot of grudges. I will say that is a very lady tendency. I will say we can acknowledge flaws, right? I mean, there is something that women do tend to bring up things from the past in the middle of a conversation more than men do. Yeah.
16:18That is quite common. So, I mean, that's a flaw. If we're trying to have an appropriate conversation, if we're trying to have a more open conversation, does it make sense to bring up something from two years ago for the productivity of that conversation? It does, because I feel like... Unless it's relevant. Well, yeah, because I remember things in the past where we've tried and changed, and we've brought up conversations, and so many years have passed, and nothing has changed, and things are still the same. So I feel like I'm valid in getting upset about that. I don't even know what she just said.
16:52You don't listen to her? Of course I listened to her. I just, I feel like I kind of trailed off. This relationship's weird, guys. What the fuck? Maybe just a little bit. Is the baby a whoopsie baby or intentional baby? I feel like it was a little bit of both. No, that means it's intentional. Come on. If you didn't care, then you were ready. I don't regret it. I'm not saying that. I'm asking if it was intentional or an accident. I mean, accident turned intentional? So the money coming in, who manages it? That would be her, most likely. How do we have two different answers, guys? Just one paycheck that comes in.
17:29Well, kind of two from one person. And you say both. He says you. What the f***? How do I have two answers here? So I feel like before we were doing good like a few years ago because he would get his paycheck. He would give it all to me. and I was able to budget it out and put the money where it needs to be. And I feel like after a while of that, he started getting angsty with money. And he was like, I'm going to try and pay my own bills. So I allowed him to. And so I give him money to pay his bills. You give him money from his paycheck to pay his bills? Well, he keeps some money and then he gives me the rest to pay the rest of the bills.
18:07And you rely on her to pay the bills? I'm so confused. Why are you guys overcomplicating this? With my work, it's what I do is she can't trust me with the bill money because I will probably spend it. Is that true? Yes. Really? Just flat out, she can't trust you with money? Yeah. That's pretty accurate. Oh, for sake, then how do we get anywhere? If there's just a lack of trust, where'd the lack of trust come from? He's a compulsive liar. That's another thing.
18:34I'm going to need something on that. That's something heavy to throw out. He just lies about any little thing. It could be the stupidest thing ever, and he'll, like, lie about it. But he used to be really bad about that in the beginning of our relationship. But still, that's something that, like, just sticks with you. Okay, I'm going to put headphones on him so you can speak a little more openly. Go ahead and take that off, big guy. Yes, sir. Okay. Thank you very much. We'll give you some tunes. Is he listening to the Brokeback soundtrack? Colton gave him the gayest music. he's vibing I can hardly breathe when he's pumping deep inside oh I know his head be going up and down every night no okay compulsive liar tell me more I need to know a lot more about that because that is a heavy thing to throw out the very beginning of our relationship I met him as his fake name let's be real if your private student loans have your eye on a third job at the local taco stand maybe it's time for a better plan Y-Refi is your lifesaver in a sea of debt.

He had a fake name whenever we first met and that's how we met him.
20:48Huh? On like a dating app? No, we met on Facebook. What the f***? And he, what? Yeah, he had like a - And that's not a red flag out of the gate. Yeah, but like I guess, I don't know, I was desperate. I was young, I was stupid. You were desperate. I wasn't really desperate, but like. You're not unattractive. Well, thank you. But I don't know. I just feel like I go for toxic guys, I guess. Good. And that's what we settled down with. Well, I don't know. I feel like I can't like get out of it because I tried leaving him once and like he just kind of followed me. No, no. Tell me about that. Okay, so we ended up moving in while we were still in, while I was still in high school, he was already graduated.
21:34He couldn't keep a job, but I moved in with him. And after I graduated, I moved out to an apartment with one of my friends. And he just kind of followed me over there. I said we were going to take a break and he just didn't leave me alone. And then like three months later, somehow we ended up getting a house together. What do you mean somehow? What the f***? What happened? Well, we ended up getting together. Like, he had me have a, like, a fallout with my friend. He made you have a fallout? Well, he didn't make me. He said that he was in the apartment and he heard her talking f*** about me. Oh, my goodness.
22:12Oh, he's a drama f***er. Oh, my goodness. Well, not really. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Are you sure he wasn't using that as a way to separate you? I don't think so. I'm not going f*** the room, but. No, she was f*** as well. And, like, I knew that. So, I believed him with that. Okay. So I was kind of like tired of her. Tired of his. I was like, I'm going to just pick the lesser of two evils. I'm just going to go with him because like he's a partner. She's a friend. Friends can end. Friendships can end. Sure. Yeah. So I was like, okay, I'll just stick with him. Wow. So romantic. Yeah. True love.
22:50Yeah, it is. Why the fuck do you have a kid with that? I didn't mean to. But like it happened. You had a raw dog and dick without protection of pill or rubber. Okay, but. What do you think happens when a man comes inside of you? Birth control is not good. Birth control is not cool. Cool. Use a condom. Use a pullout. He was literally nutting inside of your vagina. What do you think happens? It was an accident. Yeah, then you go morning after or something. Like that is going to happen. Yeah. A baby will happen from. Yeah, that's fine. Insemination. Yeah, that's fine. Do you feel stuck now? Maybe sometimes.
23:25I feel like now that we have a baby and a family, like, it's like, I'm just trying to make it work now. That doesn't, again, sound romantic. It is. Or the hope for our future. Well, it is. How? I don't know. It just is. What? Okay, so how often is he caught lying to you? He'll just lie about, like, whatever. How can you trust anything? I mean, with, like, we made a budget, okay? Okay. And so we had, like,$100 or$200 left over. And he goes, like, to a concert. Or, like, he was working. Well, he was working at a concert. And, well, while he's there, like, he ends up buying food because, you know, we don't pack lunches.
24:16And he just doesn't tell me about it. Like, he just keeps things to himself. Is that a lie or is that he just did it? Well, he just kind of does it. I mean, I'll go and get lunch after this, let's say. I'll say the team and I go to get lunch. I don't tell my girlfriend. Well, you probably should. No. Because if that's what your constitution... If your finances are together, you should probably let the other person know when you're going to... Communicate every minutia? Not necessarily. It's more big picture that you agree upon on a monthly basis. Then review the budget at the end and then figure out what you need to change big picture on the next monthly basis.
24:49it's not him listen I'm not even saying he can afford to go in and get a monster from a gas station I'm not saying he can afford that but if he does this he needs to communicate every single little purchasing if that's what you're considering big lies then I'm having trouble believing that he's just a constant liar well it's not that but like just lies about other stuff but like you have to give me an example then for me to believe you like there's just so much that I can't think of they give something come on you're a woman you bring everything back from the past I bring up feelings. I can remember feelings.
25:24I don't remember everything else. Okay, so you don't have one example. Not that I can think of right off the top of my head. I mean, you told Cole and he's flirting with other women constantly. That would make it hard for me to trust. Yeah, well. Tell me. He just has a flirty attitude. So I feel like that's part of it. What happens? Well, he just like, like at work. like he has people he works with and like if a girl talks to him and like he talks back to them I feel like they just think of it He's just nice? Yeah he's overly nice. He's too nice. He's too nice to other girls. I don't know. I guess there was someone backstage at a concert that you were like afraid of him or something.

26:10I don't know. No that's just me being jealous. Okay I feel like the tone of this starting to shift from... I think you're overbearing in a little... Maybe a little bit, but I think it's valid. Why do you think it's valid? Because it's honestly just a codependency relationship and then you kind of wanting to... everything. He can't be nice to co-workers? I mean, I'm struggling with that. Okay, well, that's besides the fact. That's besides the point. Is it? I don't know. You set him up as he's a compulsive liar. He's this, he's this, he's this. And we bring up examples. Oh, he went and got a meal without talking to me first.
26:55It's like, okay, does that mean compulsive liar? Well, okay. So I'll tell you this. At work, he was trying to give like one of the passes that he had received for the concert after the fact because he met up with one of his workers that saw him there. so he asked her if she wanted the pass on text before he asked me about it. Like if I wanted it. You may have just wanted to gift it to a friend at work. I don't know. Okay, but he asked me after. He asked her. Has he ever cheated on you? Okay, no.
27:35What are we doing here? You're like self-fulfilling. No, no, no. You're self-fulfilling prophecy in this thing. Maybe a little bit. Push them into a corner. Yeah. Why? If nothing's bad actually happening, then stop projecting that something bad is happening. Because that just manifests it in a way. Yeah, I don't want that to happen. But you're almost doing that. Yeah, but I'm trying to work on it. Okay. Hey, big guy. Have you ever f***ed anyone while you've been with her? No, absolutely not. And that's what I thought. Oh, no, no, you're good. You're good. You're good. You can have your hat back.
28:17Thank you. Oh, apparently she's jealous of a lot of women. That sounds about right. Why? Why do you think? Could she put the headphones on so I can say? Yes.
28:31What is she, native or Mexican? Mexican. Okay. She has a... Give her some trumpets. Yo quiero Taco Bell. She has a self-image problem. She's seen some of the exes I've had in the past, and I feel like she's had an issue with that sense. She's not unattractive. I know she's not. I think she's beautiful. But I dated a model at one point. Didn't last very long. She didn't want to stay in Roswell? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, she left. Okay. Well, I guess it was more her family moved away because we were both still underage at that time. Go on, keep going. But no, she has an image problem, I believe, with herself.
29:13And so the second she sees me talking to somebody else, as well as possibly some past trauma maybe. She's talking about just your coworkers. I only talked to one female. She says you're overly nice. I'm nice to everybody. I mean, I don't see any reason to be rude to anybody. I'm very respectful, yes sir, no sir. That's how I was raised. I mean, if I'm nice to somebody, I'm nice to somebody. If she has a problem with that, she can bring it up to me and I can try to move that behavior. But if she comes at me from a place that you're cheating, I'm just going to say no because I'm not. If that's as far as it goes is you're cheating, you're cheating, you're cheating.
29:48Where am I supposed to go with that? I know. I kind of agree. I'm with you on that part. And then I think she's in the right when it comes to you and your money and just she can't trust you with money. Now, I think the micromanagement of every single purchase isn't always going to be the most healthy thing. Sure, maybe a little when we're trying to get it out of debt. It's important at first when we're changing behavior. But that's also a bit toxic. A lot of codependents, she really made it sound like she's only stayed because, oh, now we have a kid now. Oh, we moved in together. Oh, we're dependent on each other.
30:21She makes it seem that way. And when she's upset and she's arguing, that's exactly how she acts. That's what she says. Yeah, that's exactly what she says. How does that feel? It hurts the hell out of me because I feel like in my personal space, I feel like I try really hard. I'm constantly working. And just recently, we had a huge argument that almost ended in me just walking away. Oh. I was really, really upset because she constantly badgered me about cheating, leaving her this out of the other. And it was a situation of I got super tired of working all these extra hours. And so she first started with an argument about finances.
30:57I'm not making enough. We're not surviving. And I said, OK, I'll work more. So I picked up extra hours. I did more work on the side as a mechanic. And so I did as much as I could, worked as many extra hours as possible. And now it was an issue of I'm not around enough for my son or my family and I'm not there enough and I'm not this enough. And at that point, I was not sleeping. I was up for 48 hours straight and it was a constant argument back and forth.

I felt like I was damned if I did and damned if I don't. Has that ever changed? That has to just be changed in couples therapy or something. That's something she's just... How often does she do this, bring this up? It's like cheating and... So cheating isn't very often, but leaving or not being there enough or just picking an argument for no reason. For me, I feel like no reason. is daily. She's cooped up at home, though.
32:52I tell her to go out. I tell her, like, take our son to the park, go meet somebody. Yeah, but it's not about taking the kid, though. She might need a little away time and go get her nails done, whatever she likes to do. I don't know. I don't know what's in Roswell, but... There's not a whole bunch, but there's enough to go get some stuff done. And that means, you know, maybe you watching the kid or grandma watching the kid sometimes. Yeah, and I mean, when I'm off, I'm fine with doing... How many hours a week do you work? Uh, if we're talking just my regular job anywhere. Oh, just average, come on.
33:24Average? About 80. 80 a week. You're not making enough money to justify 80 a week. Okay. Okay, you're good. You're good. What the f***? Why did you just berate him after he was awake for 48 hours of being a cheater and all this stuff? I guess I know he f***ed a Calvin Klein male model once in the past. We know that. Okay, very good. but besides the model who moved away before meeting you why? he was up 48 hours and you were just he's always working 80 hours a week you just berate him, berate him, berate him and you're like why? you cheater, you cheater, all this he almost left in that moment why?
34:07why'd you do this? because I forgot to leave out I left out something important that she was flirting with him who? who? The worker that he works with. Was she flirting with you? Yeah. There's been a couple points of what she's flirted with. How do you know it's flirt? Asking for my number when I'm getting off, when we can hang out after work, stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's crossing boundaries 100%. Yeah. And I've said that. That's her doing it, not him. But I feel like he's entertaining it if he's still talking to her. No, absolutely not. Well, he has his number. But I work in a professional setting.
34:43Oh, she has his number. Yes, they have. For work, yeah. I texted her if she wanted the pass. Oh. Oh, that's the person you texted? Oh, this is massive. Oh, but like she's seen the text. She knows everything. Like it's not like I'm doing anything outside of work. I didn't know about him offering the pass before me. I had to like go in there and like read the rest. Why did you pick her over her? Say that again? Why did you pick coworker over her to send the pass to? Two hours before I even messaged this girl about the pass, I asked if she was interested in the person that the concert was for. and she said no she's not interested in anything at all and so I was like well the person there oh then that's fair but that doesn't mean I don't want to pass we have too much as it is oh guys this is so messy what the have you guys gone to couples therapy is that even an option in Roswell I want to go to couples therapy and we brought it up together but he says we can't afford it and like we can't I would be able to, but even like a session a month might be worth it.
35:46I've told her I'm open to the idea as long as she's willing to like work with us a little bit just until we can get the breathing room. The therapist? No, no, no, no, no. No, her. As long as me and her can work through this a little bit longer together as a couple because I'm, I swear. How close are we to leaving? It's, I walked away just the other day and I had to come back because I was really upset. Yeah. This thing's on the brink. Okay, I didn't know how severe this was. Get into this. This is a mess. Okay, I know that was a long intro, ladies and gentlemen, but I think it's well established now, the baseline of this conversation, because that's what I needed to get to the bottom of.

Yeah, oil field. Why don't you work on oil? That's money, man. I've got too many family members that are in their 30s, 40s that are already feeling like their 70s. Okay, but temporarily. I've considered it. I'm not saying grind it out, right? I've considered it, but she's saying it's too dangerous. Yeah, there's nothing anywhere. He's already put so much time and effort. There's nothing anywhere. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.
40:48Where's anything? So Albuquerque from us, like the big capital. I don't even want to live over there. It's about five hours. Yeah. There's Lubbock, Texas. That's like two hours away. Oh, my gosh. Guys, but Texas is worse for security. So security where I'm at. This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast, smart move. Being financially savvy, smart move. Another smart move, having State Farm help you create a competitive price when you choose to bundle home and auto. Bundling, just another way to save with a personal price plan. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
41:25Prices are based on rating plans that vary by state. Coverage options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts and savings, and eligibility vary by state. Yeah, you're making no money, dude. But I guess at one point, we were almost set financially free. So we bought our house and we considered, we bought our house. There was a beauty parlor next door. They sold out, sold away. And because now that. Mixed use? Yeah. So now that it's... Oh, neighborhood in Roswell? I mean, we were kind of in the middle. We're moving to Roswell, New Mexico. Oh, like zoning? Yeah, zoning is just whatever you want to put there.
42:08Oh, I love it. That's how it should be. Let the market decide. Yeah, but we were living at the house we bought for a few years. We ended up moving back into his childhood home because we wanted more space for our child to grow in. How much space was the other home? So our current home is 7... 840 square foot. And we're moving into roughly 2 ,200. That's fine for a two-year-old. Too bad. Come on. Come on. You want more space. Yeah. You. You. Yeah. It's tiny. Not for the kid. You. Okay. The kid as well. People live in that. You know how many families... Generational. We live in the largest homes ever in human history.
42:49What do you think humanity has done for hundreds of thousands of years? Shut the f***ing. Come on. That house is also old. So it's like really. Old doesn't mean anything if it's okay. Well, I don't know. I'm assuming it's not good. I have a sneaking suspicion that there's probably a mold. Oh, good. Sneaking suspicion. That's. Let's pack up and leave. Yeah. How about you get it confirmed? Well. Oh, yeah. No, you just want a bigger space. Shut up. Yeah. But. That's all it is. Well, I thought he was the one that was financially stupid. And you're out there advocating. Well, he agreed with me. Advocating.
43:23No, because we moved into his childhood home, which was free of rent. So it was rent-free. Yeah, we were going to. That was the plan. I'll explain this one a little bit easier. We were planning on selling our current home, the dispensary next door to us that moved in. That's why we moved away specifically. We don't want our son next door to that because you could smell the weed constantly. It's not something we want to raise our son around, not something we're interested in. So we lived in my childhood home for three, four months. That's not next to the weed. No, it's not next to the weed. It's out in the county.
43:57The other one's next to the weed. This is where I grew up. Family Street. Family Street. Keep going. And things were great. We actually got a cash offer from the guy who owned the dispensary to buy our lot out just so we could expand his$100 ,000. Oh, Roswell. Keep going. But that was fair. It would have paid off our mortgage. It would have paid off all our credit card debt and given us a few thousand to just throw away into an account. Sure, you would have gone back into debt, but yeah, go ahead. Keep going. Yeah, hypothetically. No, you would have. Rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door, expertly cleaned and folded, so you could take the time once spent folding and sorting and waiting to finally pursue a whole new version of you, like tea time you.
44:41Mmm. Or this tea time you. Or even this tea time you. So did you hear about Dave? Or even tea time, tea time, tea time you. Mmm. So update on Dave It's up to you We'll take the laundry Rinse It's time to be great Your opinion but Buddy I've seen what you did with your 401k You tit What the fuck you talking about I mean you never know how things can change with situations But we lived there for a few months And My uncle was like Hey your cousin's gonna move in next door Because he's bad financially with money And he's gonna buy a double wide move into the lot next door to you. It was all owned.
45:24This big lot was owned by just him and it wasn't sectioned off into different plots. Because of a zoning restriction, they had to now kick us out. So he said, hey, you got 30 days to get out. Okay. So like two weeks. And we explained very, very fast. Hey, we are about to close on the sale of this house. We cannot. And at this time, we'd already put... We'll move into an apartment. I don't know. It's not viable. Apartments are way too expensive. Rent the house, perhaps? It's still expensive. I'm talking a temporary thing. I don't know if we could have afforded it financially. Okay, keep going. But we got told four weeks to move out.
46:10We said, we can't do that. Not possible. I don't think it's your choice, but yeah, keep going. but uh then at the end of the three weeks and this isn't a legal notice they just sent us a text saying hey four weeks get out even though house was in my name pretty much well trailer trailer not the land it was in his mom's name well the trailer means nothing it's the land okay what happened what are you talking about so we got kicked out and we were homeless for a little bit homeless we had to crash with her mom but you did not oh okay so you didn't okay come on And you didn't sell the house No we had to move back in there So you're next to a dispensary right now Yes we're back where we started But we were putting on that card On the Home Depot we were also renovating Our house and then his old trailer home Renovating a trailer Yeah it was a A bunch of paint to paint the place So you're almost financially secure And speaking of financial security We are over the limit by$762 On the Home Depot card you.
47:14What are we talking about here? All to renovate a trailer? Yeah, that got taken away from us. What? Well, we don't live there anymore. We lost all that money. Why didn't you move it? We weren't able to. They gave us no choice. It was his mom's trailer, so she ended up selling it to his uncle, so she didn't have to deal with it. But it was a situation where there was like... Why would you put money into someone else's trailer? Because it was supposed to come to us. There was a condition in the will. There was a condition in the will that we're supposed to be able to live on that land for as long as we're living there.
47:49And then they cut off the sewage and water to that trailer. So we had to move. Okay. It was unlivable for us. Oh, wow. You sent a settlement letter to your uncle over the trouble and he sent you a cease and desist? Yeah, he sent a cease and desist. Oh, my gosh. So not only is your family dynamic, your entire family dynamic. I blew up that entire half of the family and I don't regret it because they've been terrible the entire time. Hell, my aunt tried to pick a fight with her over it. Yeah. But that's not why we sent the settlement letter. It's because we had left some of our stuff there. And they ended up taking a bunch of his stuff after telling us to move it out after a certain time.
48:28But it wasn't that time yet. And they ended up moving it early. So he ended up calling the sheriffs on them saying like, hey, they stole my shit. So messy. Okay, I want to go back to this home depot. So this is all renovationable. And basically. Most of it. Or tools. $201 minimum to payment tools. Q-tools. Why? How long does this take to pay off if you only do minimums? What's the paradigm? Only do minimums and you don't purchase, which I know you'll purchase. Balance is$6 ,662.45. Eight years. Probably like 22. 21. Mid-40s.
49:14Yeah, just for the renovation on a trailer, that wasn't even yours. Right. Yeah,$1 ,000 this year so far in interest. That means it's going to be like a$3 ,000. No,$1 ,300. It's going to be like a two.
49:28It's going to be like almost$3 ,000 by year end. And interest gone. Dude, that's a month of your income working at 80 hours a week is gone to one card. One. Yeah, the interest rates are insane. The balances are insane. You have fees. I think we've had two late fees this year. So we're late on these. You're bad? Yeah, because I'm the one that... Why the f*** are you managing the finances then if you can't pay your s*** time? Well, because, you know... Oh, you have nothing but time. Well, no, not necessarily. I forget sometimes. Or he doesn't give me, or we're behind, so we don't have the money at that time to pay.
50:04Why are we spending$800 going out to eat? I didn't know those were ever late. That was never a conversation brought up. Why would you never tell him? I don't know. He doesn't ask. Nah, that's not how that works. Whoa. What the fuck? If I sit and sulk on something that, you know. I work, so I feel like. I should just never tell my girlfriend unless she asks. I should just sit there and pout. No. What are you talking about? What an immature way to live. In my defense, I feel like he just wouldn't care. Of course I care. Like it's an oopsies. like, you know, my bad. Would he care or is he changing his tune on the show like you said earlier?
50:45I don't, he probably would, but I feel like it'd be like a, oh, okay, that's okay. Like, we'll try better next month. Well, yeah, of course I'm going to try and give you positive reinforcement. So I already know the positive reinforcement. What a mess. You can use the FizCard debit card that builds credit because you guys can't be trusted with a regular credit card. And I'll get you a course career certification for both of you if you ever moved to society and civilization and want a job that makes money. Maybe you can do something remote, but probably not. I don't know. Fuck, man. Okay. Yeah, this is insane.
51:19A lot of them were 0 % interest things. Some are still at 0%, but they're about to... No, they've ended. So, yeah, they ended this month. They ended in one day and three days.
51:37great which means deferred interest of about $400 is about to hit this card now you're going to be over the card by over$1000 in three days all because we can't communicate because we're not willing to talk because we're not willing to cut back on spending for fast food because we're not willing to have a cold deli sandwich for lunch what are we doing guys the sacrifices that we need to make to do this. It doesn't sound like... But you guys haven't done anything. And every time you have the conversation about it, you guys say you just fight about it. So it doesn't sound like we're willing to. To me.
52:12We are willing to. We just need to get our shit together. How do we do that? You guys can't talk. That's easier said than done. Yeah. That's where I feel like a couples therapist would come in handy. I agree. So we've talked about couples therapy? We have. We've communicated about couples therapy and we talked about it. And I said I'm open to it. I'm perfectly fine with it, but we need to get into a place where we can financially afford it. How can we do that if we can't talk about... How can we get to a financial place of affordability if we can't talk about our finances and what is required to cut it?
52:48That's where we're stuck. That's kind of why we're here. Hopefully to get a budget that we can try to stick to. I'm also being told the family drama was the worst because grandma's the one who lent them money, you guys' money, for the house originally at$10 ,000. Never paid it back because she died, but the uncle wants the money back. And that's why the uncle hates you guys? I feel like he's just upset because he helped us with the house. Because she helped us with the house because I was always there for her when he wasn't. And so I feel like there was a bit of a more of a jealousy issue there.
53:15She helped us with a down payment to our house. Yeah. That's so f***ing weird, guys. You guys are so weird. Okay, Lowe's. Great. Yeah, let's have the other store card. Whose name? Mine. Okay. Okay, we owe$1 ,348.36. Minimum monthly payment of$28. What's the limit on this guy? Okay. It's close. It's close to the limit. Very close. Four years to pay this off with the minimum, no purchases. I'm very curious to see you not purchase things. We'll see. You'll want to sell the house and you'll find a way to spend money on it to renovate it. Well, the card's closed. Yeah, that's a closed account. Oh, thank?
53:56Why is the card closed? I miss too many payments.
54:27Visit phrma.org slash middlemen. So it wasn't even from you waking up and trying to mature and better yourselves. Because you can't manage credit cards. You just miss payment, miss payment, miss payment. So they're like... There's so many to keep track of. Auto draft? Well, we can't auto because then if we don't have enough in the bank account... You can pay some... Listen, what's your earliest date that a bill one of the credit card payments is due in the month? No, the first. The first and bring the other ones to the first. And then all of a sudden you're up to date. Like whatever one is on the fifth, bring it to the first.
55:02Pay all of them on the first. Pretend like you have to pay on the first. Then you'll be fine for the month. Well, I can't. So you don't have to think of all these extra little dates that are happening. I can't trust him to not spend the money in the bank account. Oh, I'm being told you're still planning upcoming projects for the house? Yeah. Oh, what are we doing? Why? She really, really wants. I don't give a f***. Go on. She wants some things added to the house, like a little front garden area. F*** you. Go on. She wants a side gate for the house. F*** you. It's for her son. So he doesn't run into the street.
55:33That's what parenting's for. Yeah. The gate? Yeah, we want to build a gate. That's what parenting's for. He says that's what parenting's for. Yeah, I didn't have a f***ing gate growing up. Okay. You're not going to walk next door and smoke a d***. You probably will. No, I'm joking. They'd probably offer it to him. Probably. But there's a bunch of crackheads around, so they just walk into our backyard too. What the f*** did you buy there then? It was cheap. It was a cheap house, and it's probably half of it. It's usually cheap for a reason. Yeah. It's fair. Okay. What else? When you walk into a Burlington, you're walking into amazing prices and great gifts.

Even those who are hard to shop for, toys and jewelry to new beauty brands and styles, these gifts go seamlessly from our stores to under your tree. Seriously, with these savings, why shop anywhere else?
56:38That's about it. I think I wanted to build a shed in the backyard because we have too much for how much square footage is. We are not spending money on this crap. The gate, I can almost get behind. Garden, f*** you. Shed, f*** you. and I know you probably want to install a glory hole too. Fuck you. Listen, we can't spend this money. We don't have this money. You've maxed out all these cards on projects. We do not get more projects. You have no money. You have closed accounts because you're not making your payments because you have no money. There's no money to do this. Why do you get to prioritize your wants instead of getting your household under control for the sake of your fucking kid's future?
57:17Well, it's not like I can't anyway because - Huh? Why? Because the credit cards are over limit. So give up? I mean, no. So give up? Pay them off? Yeah. I don't know if you're doing that when you're doing projects with money you don't have. So what are you talking about? Well, we can't anymore. So now we can focus on paying it off. No, there's three scheduled products, you little tit. Yeah. We'll put that in the background. Hey, you can pay them off, by the way. if you let grandma of the grandbaby watch the kid twice a week. You do three, she does two, you work part-time. If I work part-time, it's just gonna mess us up even more because right now we're on assistance.
58:00So then the assistance will be taken. Here we go. Oh, I'm so glad we've set up systems where people aren't willing to work because then they'll lose money from the taxpayer. Great, assistance should be taken away. If you're able to work, f*** your assistance. Well, but then I'd have to work full-time, and then that's time away from my baby. Grandma's there. You have to support. You will spend so much time with the kid. What do you guys get in assistance on a monthly basis? Roughly 372 in SNAP benefits. What? You'll make so much money. What? What's the minimum wage in New Mexico? I believe it's...
58:34Minimum wage is 12. But then I also... We also have insurance. Huh? Insurance. We can't afford to buy insurance. Yeah. What's the insurance through your work situation? I could get it, but it's real expensive. What would it be monthly? For all three of us, I think it's like$700 a month. Yeah. Now, you'd still be in a subsidized situation, I'll be honest. Like, yeah, you might have to spend a little on health care, but you'd still get dramatically subsidized at your guys' income situation. Because I'm saying work 20 hours a week, you'll bring in an extra$1 ,000 a month. That makes up for the SNAP benefits times too.
59:09The healthcare situation, yes, you might have to spend maybe$100 or$200, but you'll get subsidized. You get an Affordable Care Act plan. We've looked into it and I just can't figure it out. It just seems like it's too long. No.
59:27Big guy. I think she Listen, I went through the process for one person once and it took me about five minutes. It's not hard. That's why I've looked into it already. And I just looked into it. It's five minutes. Yeah. What more looking do you have to do? None. Because I know it's not going to work out for us. That's not true. I know you guys' income. I don't know. Also, we give up and we just milk the taxpayer. I'm sorry. That doesn't make sense. Well, until my son goes into school, you know, and then I'll go into work whenever he goes to school. This doesn't make sense. when you could go work part-time, you're choosing not to.
1:00:01You have a beautiful situation where you have a close family that can watch your kid a couple times a week. He won't let me work. You won't let her do a couple times a week? It's not that I won't let her. It's that we have to have a reasonable plan. That's all I want. I want a reasonable plan where we can figure it out reasonably. Okay, work Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday. And then you're with the kid four days a week, three days a week as a grandparents. You'll be very much raising the kid. We've all went through this. Come on, do not pretend like this is something special. And I will have to fend her because most jobs won't hire for that.
1:00:36I know Roswell's a very interesting situation. I don't know the market as well there. But, I mean, you might just have to go work at the dispensary. No, I don't want to smell it. She won't. She won't. Get in. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But whatever you can pick up, even if it's a call center online. I can't find any. Oh, come on. What, you took a look for that one again? Yeah. I don't believe you about anything. No offense. I know you could work if you wanted to. It won't be perfect. Yeah. Watch some other kids. Bring kids over. Double up. Why? I don't want to watch anyone else's screen. Well, I need you to make money.
1:01:13I need you to make money, dude. You hear that? Plus, SNAP benefits are changing. SNAP benefits are changing with the new bill that was signed into law. No idea. How does it impact you guys? Do you know? I've got no clue. It adds work requirements. No, but I think it's for households with kids under over five, maybe. Yeah, so we're fine. We'll have to confirm that. But things might be changing. I'll take a look. Because this makes no offense. I mean, here's the thing. Okay. Snap is there to support you because you're low income. You have a kid. Fine. I vibe with that in general. But here's the reality.
1:01:51You then go do a garden in a gate in a shed, meaning in reality with how money is being transferred through thus us the taxpayers are paying for your garden because you're using the money that would go to groceries if Snap wasn't covering it to pay for a f***ing garden that you want to do. We are paying for your$800 going out to eat. We're paying$500 for that. That is how that math works and that is disgusting. Disgusting. I can agree with that. So premium tax credits, also known as the subsidies in the Affordable Care Act, especially adjusted with the American Rescue Plan 2021. There's no upper income temporary move through 2025.
1:02:38So only through the end of this year, there is no upper income limit. But your second lowest cost silver plan benchmark exceeds 8.5 % of your household's modified adjusted income. You guys won't be on Medicaid through New Mexico, but you'll be 100 % on a subsidized affordable health care act plan. But how much would that be? You will still make more working part time, 20 hours a week. You will. Then I can look into it. You guys don't make that much, plus you'll get a child tax credit regardless. I don't know. And you guys don't pay taxes. So we can't wait until he goes into school? Three years?
1:03:12Three years until we conquer any of our finances. Like two? Come on. Two years until you're going to just let this sit. Because you're not paying it off with this. Yeah, I know. You're going to go spend food that's subsidized by the taxpayer? Going out to eat? So we give you SNAP just so you don't have to work? I'm still taking care of my son. I know, but you're acting like no one else does this. And you're in a blessed situation where you get to honestly probably stay home four days a week if you want to do and work three. Come on. that is so blessed compared to what an average household gets to do these days.
1:03:48I will actually argue with you here, Caleb. I do want her to be able to stay home with her son. Every day. You're not willing to give up two days a week? I'm not saying. Three days a week? If she could find something remote, that'd be fine. Because at least then. But come on, two days, Monday, Tuesday. She can't go work? I'm not saying it's not a possibility. I'm saying we need to have something in place. Or you want the debt to sit and then have the child grow up in a financially stressful household, which is going to be much more traumatic than being seen grandma two times a week. Oh no, poor kid.
1:04:21I can't actually argue with that a lot. No, you can't because anything else besides that would be from the most extreme level. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's not go work a part-time job when we have credit one. Literally the worst of the worst credit cards that you can possibly get. Meaning you're the definition of a just worse, worse, bottom of the barrel financial situation. Disgusting situation. credit one whose that'd be mine but I won't let it work meet the computer you can talk to with Copilot on Windows working, creating, and collaborating is as easy as talking got writer's block? share your screen with Copilot Vision to help spark inspiration and use Copilot Voice to have a conversation and brainstorm ideas or maybe you need some tech help with Copilot Vision Copilot sees what you see let Copilot talk you through step-by-step guidance so you can master new apps, games, and skills faster.

1:05:21Oh, it's at the credit limit. Who would have thought, oh, no, it's not. It's over. It's over the credit limit. Oh, God, I'm glad we're purchasing when we're going over the credit limit, you dumb tit. Did you know this was over the credit limit? What the f*** is wrong with you? I did tell her it was over the credit limit. If she listens or not, that's up to her. I can say the same about you. Why don't you guys listen to each other? I try to. I feel like we bicker a lot. But you didn't listen to one thing she said in this conversation earlier. That was on camera. But go on. Go on. What were you saying?
1:05:52Rose or Crystal? What do we call Crystal? Whatever stripper name. We bicker a lot. So I feel like we just automatically tone each other out. Right. Okay. I feel like that's a her thing. She can just turn off noises in her head if she doesn't like them. Buddy, there was a part in this conversation where you said you tuned her out. I didn't necessarily tune her out. If you listen back to the footage, I would say that I kind of got lost in the conversation. I kind of just lost where we were. I don't even know what she just said. You don't listen to her? Of course I listened to her. I just, I feel like I kind of trailed off.
1:06:27Are you dumb? A little bit. I can just turn wrenches. That's about all I'm looking for. Yeah, and you should turn wrenches in the oil field for a couple years. A couple years. A couple years. She doesn't have to get. Choose. Does she work outside of the house? Or do you go a couple years in the oil field? I've told him to get a better job, like a higher paying job. Yeah, but oil might be the only option in Roswell where it's like just there's not many opportunities. That's about right. I've tried to go through the sheriff's department. It's just a matter of a fitness exam. But everything else is everything else I'm there for.

And I know you're a wannabe mall cop right now, so maybe you can become a cop, sure, but... That's what he's aiming towards. That's his goal. It's a related field. Oh, God, a late fee as well! That's what I want my public safety officers around me pulling me over, who has access to a gun, stressed about their finances at home. having late fees, and a wife that bickers at them, thinking they're cheating every moment they step outside.
1:09:04That's what I want when someone has a gun in a stressful situation. Oh, good. We also got McDonald's and Luna's at Home Depot. Wonderful. Fantastic. $59 minimum payment. That's incredible. At a 30 % interest rate. What was the Home Depot? Yeah, what was the Home Depot? The Home Depot would have been for the, I forget what it was, but it was something to fix the house with. Makes sense. But I would have thought he had the money to pay outright. What do you think was spent last month? What do I think was spent last month? Most likely, can I have a number of what I brought in? Yes.
1:09:55So payroll was$1 ,400. ATM deposit, I don't know where it came from. So cash,$864. All right. And then Cash App was transferred in up$1 ,000. So what is that? Almost three? Okay, so if I'm not considering your Dave Cash advance, can't wait for that. That doesn't count as income. That income from Cash App, I'm relatively sure was what I send her to pay bills. Yeah. Okay, so it was from one of the other accounts in general. Great, so$2 ,500. $2 ,500. Cool. What was spent? Probably$28 ,000. Probably like$3 ,000. Yeah, you run the household finances. So you think you would have the cash to then just pay for it, not put it on credit one.
1:10:39Also,$6 ,291. You guys, you don't know what's going on. Okay, who's the second credit one? That'd be me as well. Okay. Did you guys fly here? No. No. We drove. Yeah, I was going to say. My goodness, is there an airport near? Yeah, there's an airport there. that goes places? It goes to Dallas. Okay,$291.38. Yeah,$300 limit, so we're there. Fees. Oh, the last one was late, by the way. I forgot to even say that. $283 of purchases brought us all the way up. Interests will start accruing. $30 minimum payment. What are we getting? Oh, I'll tell you. McDonald's. All soups. Allation. eBay. Underground Coffee McDonald's Hangry Wagon eBay HTO Gamer Subs again and then only f***ed to a gay model times three?
1:11:40Yeah, sounds about right. Well, that's not a lie. Except that's probably the blacked out items. Okay, what the f*** are we doing? That's a disgusting amount of spending on bulls*** when we don't have money and we're sometimes, we're almost late on mortgage and we're late on every other credit card. What are you doing, dude? What a joke. If I have an available budget, typically if I get extremely hungry at work. Available budget? You mean available spending? Yeah, that's about right. On a credit card? Yes, sir. Okay, then close all your credit cards. You are not a credit person. You cannot manage credit cards to save your life.
1:12:12If you have debt to spend, you will spend it on McDonald's and Gamersupps. He opened those cards and he told me, he opened them to build his credit. Sure, and that's what everyone says. Okay, now you've... Close it! I'll do my best. I'll do my best? How do you do your best to close it? Can someone walk me through that? I believe you're not able to close it until the account is paid to zero. No? Typically not. Okay, because it was like that for my last Concora. Well, you'll have to call and ask. You'll have to call and ask to close. 12 months just to pay that off. Just here, a quick little McDonald's.
1:12:51It takes 12 months to pay off. It's food she could have made for me while I was sleeping for work. You eat at home. They eat at home for an 11-hour shift? Okay. You can make yourself something. Why do you have to rely on me so much? I'm not asking to rely on you. I'm saying you're home for most of the day. You can at least make me something. If you tell me what to make you, I'll make it for you. But I'm not going to make you something just for you to be like, I don't want that. Are you going to make me something or are you not going to make me something? I'll make you something if you tell me what to make.
1:13:24Okay, fantastic. What do you want her to make? Just a sandwich. Whatever I decide for that day. Whatever we have in the fridge. It's a little sexist, but... Alright, I'll make a sandwich. Alright, just don't spit in it, please. We'll not spit on it. So you will make a Sammy? Yeah, I'll make a sandwich. That's easy. You will eat the sandwich and not go out? Yes. Why do I believe no one? Okay, Quicksilver, who is this? Mine. That used to be a Walmart car that turned into the Quicksilver. Okay, so we owe$3 ,822. Guys, the debt on these balances for your income are insane. Insane. This is not a six-figure household.
1:14:08This is insane. Yeah. $138 minimum repayment, 18 years to pay this off,$28 of charges,$39 of fees,$98 of interest. Good death. That's the credit limit. No one's surprised. Litter robot whisker. Litter robot whisker. So we got some cats. Great. Past two feet. $39. There it is. Oh, not only that, but we've also had multiple this year so far in this card alone. Hey, if you're managing the finances, here's a little hint. Manage them. I try to. No, you don't. Anyone that tries is not late. Late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late, late. I'm late because. You're late endlessly.
1:14:52But it's his fault. It's your fault. Apparently. Is it your fault? I have no clue. Because he doesn't give me enough to pay it off. Why don't you give her enough? And why does it give? Typically. Why is it not just going to do a joint account? Because she doesn't trust me with the money. Because we had a joint account. No, put it in the joint account and then allocate it into a separate account for him to spend. Even though you don't have spending money. We don't have spending money. So he just takes spending money. Exactly. So why are you spending money? Because she won't cook for me. Oh, you guys.
1:15:20Oh, you guys are so lost.
1:15:27Take a chill pill. Thank you. It's okay. Sniff some poppers.
1:15:36Discover it. Who's this? Mine. That was my first card when I turned 18.
1:15:44$1 ,013.33. Oh, it's over the fucking limit. Guys. Guys, what is your debt situation for your income? I think we're about 50%. Total debt is 92 ,364. 50 %? That is not 50 % of your income. No, no, no, no. 50 % of my monthly is going towards the minimum. Oh, we'll see, dude. Almost six figures of debt. Oh, my gosh. Six figures of debt making, what,$30 ,000 a year? Oh, but that includes the house. Yes, it includes the house. but bad debt alone is approximately$16 ,000. That's insane for your income. I don't think you guys even comprehend. $73 minimum payment on this. Four years to pay this off. Oh, good, if it's not a fee.
1:16:31Good death, guys. $22 in interest as well. Are you kidding me? Can we not pay one thing on time? Sick, guys. Yep, there it is, late fee. How many have we had this year so far? Two. The insurance is$129 this year so far. What are we doing? Manage it. If you're going to take control, do it. And tell him more money needs to come in. Don't throw things in my life. Don't throw things in my life. I will. And I'll do it again. Yep. Why not bring more in and don't spend more money when she says do not spend?
1:17:09Can you repeat that? Oh, he's f***ing f***ing. Oh, we're going to hear about an oil fill explosion in Roswell. That was about a 30-second delay. Was it? To be fair, those late fees are the same. You're going to, to be fair, a late fee. Yes, yes. Listen, those late fees that are on the different cards are usually the same month because that month's stressful. Because it was stressful. Oh, you know what? Okay. I excuse it. I excuse it, guys. The month was stressful. Excuse has been made. You know what? You're right. Hell of an excuse. Thank you. Hey, guys, I'm not making payroll this month. This has been a little stressful.
1:17:59Okay.
1:18:04What are we? Oh, guys, you weren't.
1:18:09I think Roswell is like delayed by 10 years when it comes to maturity. It's also worse than education. Is it? It's the worst education in the U.S. Our state, yeah. Yeah, I know. New Mexico is a disaster. Who's the freedom card? Mine. Okay.
1:18:30I really want to make a budget for you guys, and I'm going to, but I'm just wondering, are these payments, is it even possible? We will find out. $459.32. It's the balance with the$40 minimum fee payment. Oh, good. It's basically the limit. Oh, good. Extra$83 of purchases. What you do? What you do? What did you do? It's just mainly like household expenses, like groceries or necessities, like toilet paper, shampoo, stuff like that, diapers. It was Walmart. Yeah. Hard to see what's at Walmart, but we'll see. What a fucking tip. No missed payments on that card this year so far. Late payments. Okay, who's the Capital One Platinum?
1:19:13Mine. Well, which one? You're the collector. Because I'm the one with the good credit, yes. What's your credit? It's bad now, but it's probably like high$500, low$600. The good credit. It used to be good. $195 of purchases on here. Nine months to pay this one off. Minimum to payment,$25. Amazon, Walmart,$30 of interest. Interest charging this year so far. What is this? I don't think it's Klarna, but it's one of those. That's Afterpay. Yes. Okay. That's Affirm. Oh, Affirm, who? Yes, those are mine. And those are also all paid off now due to the retirement pool. Yeah, but what is it now? Because you put it back up.
1:19:53I can look for you real quick. Yeah, look for me real quick, big guy. Why don't you pull up your Amazon real quick while we're at it? I don't think the Amazon charge was mine. Do you have access to the same Amazon? No. She could use mine if she wants. Separate Amazons. Most likely. We don't really use Amazon. So I don't know what the Amazon charge was. Okay. Just stop. It's 201. Give me your phone in general. Okay. Here. Give me your phone. That's a crazy name. I've never seen a name that looks like that. Apple TV Plus. Yeah, we really don't need that. And Apple TV is great. So that's all included in my phone plan.
1:20:29Hey, did you pull it up? You did? I did. It's 201. $201. Yes, sir. What's your monthly? Monthly. So two of them are specifically just pay off in 30 days. I'll just do that. That's a total of$150. A month? No, no, no. $150 total for the two that I have to pay off. Oh, yeah. You got Satellite Safe, Walmart, ZZ Performance, and we paid off our firm with a 401k.
1:21:00Klarna. What are we doing? Who's Klarna? That would also be me. Oh, what are you getting from eBay? big guy? So because I just got recently promoted to that$19 an hour, I needed a laptop to do a lot of... I thought you were going to say you celebrated and got dildo as your favorite porn star from... No, no. I got a laptop so I could try to organize everything a little bit better. I'm in charge of all the maintenance and everything for all the vehicles on top of my current position. I haven't seen him use that laptop once. I use it quite a lot. I do all of my... Mostly videos in private. That's why you haven't seen.
1:21:34Probably. He's watching some Kyler Moss. Am I right? Am I right, Colin? Am I right? I'll ask you for recommendations later. Denial is a river in Egypt. Your husband is gay.
1:21:52Okay. Aggressive. You eBayed a$200 laptop? Like, what the fuck even is that? What is the laptop? Yeah. It's a really nice... What brand is it again? I don't know. MSI.

Upstart Loan 762 and it's just on a Google Doc? What is this? That one's for me. So I had a Concora card that had a max out of 800 and they would not let me close it. They refused to close it without paying it off. And it was at a 35 % interest plus a monthly fee. What's the interest rate on this? Zero. What's the minimum monthly payment? Zero for how long? Forever. It's a zero. Minimum? Yeah. It's a minimum of 56. 56 monthly. I pulled out 850 and they charged me 874, 0 % interest.

The mortgage. Well, for here, I suppose it's a lot cheaper. Anywhere. Remember, the cost of living, there's literally 25 % below the national average. Okay, $76 ,244.66. Minimum monthly payment of... Get ready for this. Mortgage minimum monthly payment, everyone. $640.66. And that includes the escrow. Oh, I know. 3.25 % interest rate. That's great. You guys got a good time.

I don't f***ing know No, there's not All right. Well, I'm going to attempt in every way whatsoever to budget this. Here's the reality, though, while I add up these numbers. This is you guys talking in a healthy way.
1:27:04When's the last time you guys had a healthy financial conversation? Please. Maybe yesterday for all of five minutes. Tell me what happened in those five minutes. Had to sit down after I walked away and said that I can't do this anymore if we can't sit down and communicate. I can't do this anymore in terms of like relationship? Yeah, pretty much. And thoughts? Because that's brutal to hear. Yeah. Maybe he will go fuck his coworker. That's what I'm afraid of. Oh, come on. He'll do that if he leaves. Okay. Are you going to push him away? Oh, no. What did it feel like to hear, hey, I'm going to leave if we don't fix this?
1:27:37Surprising. Really? After you berate him constantly about sleeping other women? I've constantly tried really hard to stay. I'll leave. Huh? Usually it's me saying I'll leave. Great. Wonderful. How do you feel during that? Really, really painful. And then whenever she calms down, she immediately goes back on her word and pretends everything's fine like it never existed. Yeah, don't tell a woman to calm down. What else? Okay, so you heard he's going to leave. What? What was your incident? Well, I was like, well, it's basically his fault because if he won't change his behavior, then. Oh, that's what you want to tell someone when they say they're going to leave.
1:28:13It's your fault. Yeah. So why'd you say it was his fault? Because he won't change his behavior. To a certain extent, I do agree. But there's also bullshit reading yours and you're not going and you're not working. Yeah. There's also the fact that you do not make it a healthy environment for him as well. And it takes two to take a listen. If someone's a breadwinner, that's okay if you want to stay at home and someone's a breadwinner. But you are an equals part of this. And there is a point of like, if the dude comes home after 80 hours a week, he doesn't want to hear, hey, why are you flirting with someone?
1:28:46You're cheating on me again? You're cheating on me again? Oh my goodness, this is spending all this bullshit. Yes, you need to have the healthy budgetary conversations. But if the dude works nice 80 hours a week, is grinded for barely any money, and just comes home to bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Listen, bullshit is going to happen here and there. Tough conversations are going to happen here and there. But if it is every single moment of every single day, this is not sustainable. And I'm not excusing him going out and cope spending, but I at least understand it because he wants to get the fuck away.
1:29:13I mean, that's the issue. Like, it's a constant cycle. Like he spends, I... That's why I say we need to have a financial reset. We need to sit down, reset, and have a plan in place. Number of monthly payments without the mortgage,$455. Rent, or sorry, mortgage,$640.66. Utilities all combined, plus internet. What's that? We'll look at that. Probably like 300. Well, yeah, 300. 300. Phone bill. 187. If T-Mobile's getting your area, I would switch to Helium once these phones are paid off, because that's an insane minimum payment for you guys to have. Gas of room for room, drive, drive. Roughly 150 to 200.
1:29:55I'll say 200. I'll do 200. Car insurance. That's 167. Okay, food. We'll just allocate SNAP to it. Okay, so SNAP goes there, plus I'll give you an extra 200, so I'll put that in there. Okay, 200. TP, find anything else you need to survive, you and the kids, 200. For our son and the cats Is about 200 every two weeks For what? Cat food, cat litter, diapers Well yeah, okay, so to be fun And okay, so I'll put For cat food, how much cat food? Cat food is probably going to be like It comes out to like 120 Okay, so that should cover that For every two weeks Medical, healthcare, anything that happens every two weeks?
1:30:38Yeah What's wrong with you? We give them wet food You just can't afford it I'm sorry It's better for their It is You can't afford it Okay but it's better than Taking them to a vet For a UTI Okay they're not going to die They can't from a UTI They need water Is this I don't Okay Give them water I do On top of $255 $255 $255 $255 $255 Let's see if it works I'll put it in Medical healthcare Co-pays Why not Anything No I only pay for dental Which comes out on my check Okay Subscriptions I've got a YouTube premium. Shut the fuck up,$20. Yeah. That's what you can put in. Pet insurance for the cats? No.
1:31:16Well, you're not going to be able to afford anything if they get sick. We would have to budget in approximately probably about$100 because you certainly can't afford it in an emergency. Anything else that needs to be in the budget that I have not put in yet? I don't think so. I don't think so, no. If you guys follow that strictly no fun, no going out to eat, you technically break even. $2 ,729.66. So here's the reality. Go work more in an oil field. Couple years, pay off debt. Your bad debt, pay off$16 ,000. Sell the house, take that, put a down payment, large down payment in a better area, and then find new career opportunities after that.
1:31:59That's the solution. We can probably do that in a year or two years. You're going to go get it, work in the oil fields immediately. Or she works outside of the house. That's the reality. You're choosing which one. and that's what we do. Your plans are, it's pretty simple. Save over an emergency fund, sell the house, put a large down payment from the sale of that house towards the new house in a better area, all that good stuff for your kids. Future proof yourself. Sounds like you guys are staying in the town and then we work on career opportunities. She's afraid to leave family. She's super family oriented.
1:32:28Good. That's what I'm saying. You're staying there and I'm glad we don't have any car debts. Nope. Good. Okay. But then you have some cars. Yeah. He has a lot of cars. A lot of cars? Yeah. He's a mechanic, so he has project cars. That's basically all we drive. Okay. We are going to dig into you in the post show about them. Oh, boy. We are going to talk about them in the post show. Because who the fuck are you to have all these when we can take care of the situation? That's in the post show because I'm done with this conversation. So that's where we're going from here.
