A month, not a year, and then broken down month by month. No, it's a... It is 11 % a month? What the f***? He did$50 in cash advances? I've never even seen that on this show.

What do you do for a living in Houston, Texas? Currently, I'm a car salesperson. Okay. Yeah, Houston, drivable city. That's the only way to get around.

1:58It's a horrible place to live. It's only a highway. I get it. You probably do well. Do you do well? I do okay. I don't, I wouldn't say that I'm doing well. I'm getting back adjusted to it, but I'm definitely doing okay. Okay. And what's okay? What's hitting your account? What are we talking? What's the money? So I'm paid purely as commission. I don't make a salary. And it is essentially, I get a prepayment every month of my commission check called a draw check, which is$3 ,000 a month before taxes, before insurance. and I have not surpassed that since I've gotten back into the car business. Why?

2:33Well, how long have you been back in? I got fired from my last job in June and I came back in July. To the same job? No, different job, different field. Why'd you get fired? Oh, from a different field? What was it? I was a, so I was in car sales in 21 until 2024. And then I went and worked for a school and admissions from December until June. How do you get fired from admissions where you're not admitting enough people? Did you f*** a student? I wanted to, but I didn't. What? Sure. I was a good noodle, you know. Oh, I know you like a good noodle. That's for sure. So essentially, in May, I had surgery, and then they ripped me on that.

3:18They said that I did not perform that week well enough, and then I went back to work the week after. Okay, what was your surgery? So they— Minors and majors. So I had surgery at the base of my spine. There were cysts that were growing their pylonital cysts, and they were worried that the multitude of them was something more serious. Okay, stop growing cysts, dude. I'd love to. They're painful. Essentially, imagine that you're like, your butt crack just can't close. No, thank you. I would not like to imagine that. Yep. Okay. They wrote me up for it, said that I didn't perform well enough that week, and then— So you got fired for not being able to close your butthole?

3:55Essentially. I'd fire someone for that. That's nasty. I mean, essentially, if I was in that line, the oldest line of work, maybe. But maybe not if I'm sitting at a desk all day. Okay, so you got fired and went right back into car sales. Were you doing well in car sales before? I was doing okay in car sales. I was beating my draw. Like I was making a decent living, but I was also over. In Houston, we're talking ranging from 55 to 60 a year is what people are making in car sales. It's about what I was making. Average. About$5 ,000 a month. But you're not meeting your draw. What are you having to...

4:30Are you accumulating a debt or is this a draw that cuts even every month? It cuts even. So if I don't break the draw, then I just get paid. It essentially meets minimum wage. Okay, so you're hitting three. Well, what hits your account? Because you said that's before all the goodies. Yeah, so I make about$1 ,100 every two weeks. So it's about$2 ,200. How are you doing on$22, big guy? That's kind of not wonderful. No, it's not great. Essentially, I didn't really want to go back into car sales when I went back into it. I'm sure not. Remind me, how many months has it been? Three. Okay, yeah. You're literally making less than$30 ,000 a year net in the fourth largest city in the United States.

5:04That's not great. No, it's not. Essentially, beforehand at the old job, I was making anywhere from$4 ,000 to$6 ,000 a month. Oh, that's much better. But that was consistent. and I was an hourly and a bonus employee. So like it was better than what I was making before. Okay. What are you trying to do now? Is this, has the feeling of temporary just to try to survive? Like what are we, what are we doing? So I'm in school. I'm getting my accounting degree. You're in school. Yes. I'm in school full time as well. Accounting degree. I'll get you an accounting certification course careers as well. A lot of people out there have used it and that has got them good jobs.

5:45Yep. I'll have my associates in the end of this semester. I'll have my first part and then I want to go back for my bachelor's and get it in business administration. I mean, that's pretty good. But that means you must not be working a ton. I'm working full-time doing both. I got fully online for school. Okay, so what are we talking about today? What's going on? I am here to get revenge on my ex.

6:11Get revenge on your ex? Absolutely. Are you about to call him names? I want to put myself in this really good situation so that he can see that he's missing out on everything. Oh, so we're here to fix your finances so that you can be like, look what you missed. Absolutely. Oh, well, if you're on this show, he should be glad that he's missing. No offense. Well, his finances are definitely worse than mine, so. No way. Why is he not on the show? Because, listen, you have to honestly be a part of the worst of the worst of the worst finances in the United States of America to get approved to be on the show.

6:45Just going to let you know. Yeah, no, my finances are not great by any means when it comes to decisions I've made. Why are you trying to get revenge? Because the entire time that we were seeing each other, then was told that we weren't dating. I was just a friend. He was cheating on his boyfriend with me. The gays. We love them. Big fan of the gays. That makes one of us. Yeah, well. You're a gay. I'm a fat. You're a fat. I'm a... Cub. Cub, yes, as we established. That is true. We make fun of everyone here. I don't give a f***. But, yeah, okay. So, well, that's weird. Usually gays are able to, and I say that in the most loving way possible, f*** each other constantly, and they usually stay together.

7:36Yes, so the whole situation is kind of f***. They were open when we originally started messing around and started, like, talking, and then whenever everything kind of shifted, they closed their relationship after Pride and he lied to me the entire time saying they were still open until August. Ooh, maybe he liked the degeneracy of it. So they were monogamous from... Wait, until this August. So this just happened? This just happened. This just happened. Yep. So that's why you're here. Okay, shit. I've already got revenge in one way, so now I'm trying to get revenge in another way. What's the first way?

8:06I have to know. Me and his ex are now sleeping together. Does he know? He does now. Now with this? With this, yeah. someone may or may not have said that they would send him the link to it. You beast. This is crazy. No. Yes. You offered to text the ex with a link to the episode. Yes, she did. Oh, Lindsay did. This is messy, and I love it. I love it. I love it. This is crazy. You know what you should do? Can I give you the ultimate revenge strategy? Absolutely. Asleep with Brandon right now. He has gonorrhea, chlamydia, all the good stuff. And then you pass it to the ex and then the, no, no, no.

8:48You pass it to the ex's boyfriend and then the boyfriend passes it to the ex. And then all of a sudden the ex has gonorrhea and chlamydia. It's incredible. What a prank. Yeah. No, no, thank you. Okay. As much fun as that would be, we both just recently got tested and we're both clean. And I mess around with that again. Because it also turns out that we were not the only ones that he was sleeping with. It turns out he was sleeping with other people too. But they're still together. No, they're not. they broke up in august and that's so the whole tea on that is that they broke up we went to a his birthday party the main guy's birthday party for all intents and purposes um he took us all out to for his birthday we went to like a korean barbecue place he brought his ex with him that they had recently already broken up like it might be easier if i like write this down can i see oh Oh, he wants to draw.

9:40Yeah. The gays are artists at heart. Not that kind. So we all went to dinner. And then his, they broke up in August, right? So in August, they were done. Was anyone eating ice cubes at dinner? No, because I am on fiber pills, so I don't have to do that. I actually eat food before and after. Well done. Yep. So they broke up in August. and let's say this is my friend over here. Sure, that works. This is my friend. Looks like me. If you think you see the man in this sketch, they want you to call the police tips, hotline that number. Sure, for all intents and purposes, this is Caleb.

10:25And Caleb knew the whole situation between me and Marcus. Marcus. So, um, we'll make him look like a dead person. Um, so then he knew everything about this and then the whole time that I was with Marcus, he was with Steve from Minecraft. No, ew. I'm not into that. You know, like a sassy bottom? No, I am a bottom, so I'd rather not be with the bottom. I mean, they make those, you know, double-sided ones, but I'm good. I'd rather have the real thing. So then this is Steve. He was with Steve. And then there's me down here. What put me in a smile? Because I'm happy. Running a train on you. I mean, wouldn't be the first one.

11:12So this whole time. Marcus. Was with me, but he was also with Steve. Whoops. Caleb knew that we were a thing. When they broke up, Caleb and Steve became friends. and Caleb realized none of the timelines matched up. So then Caleb got me involved and then we became friends. And once we became friends, I kind of invited him out to go get Boba. And then I was like, hey, by the way, I have something really terrible to tell you. And then told him everything. The fact that... Well, that's what we're like when we're having Boba. Yeah. Yeah. So, and then ever since we became friends and then in a more recent development over the last like three weeks, we've been fucking.

11:57Can I see a picture? Yes. You absolutely can see a picture. Lindsay requested for me to see the picture, by the way. I just want to throw that out here. And the one we're trying to get revenge on by fixing our finances. Absolutely. Out of all the motivations for someone to fix their finances on this show, this one might be what gets someone to the finish line. I'm a petty... If gay couples are the ones that break up the least, why are we never getting gay male couples... Okay. Yeah. All right. Latina, buff Latina. Sure. Latino. Sorry. Latino. Latino batty. Latino batty. Okay. We never get the gay guy couples.

12:39We get the gay women couples, which is just gay. Like, where's the dudes? Probably. Probably. Okay. So what is wrong with your finances right now? Like, why are we in this situation where he'd be ashamed? He'd be ashamed. Like, happy to not be with you, essentially. So, and also I do want to point out his finances are much worse than mine because he, instead of taking his mom, pulled out a whole bunch of, like, credit cards and debt in his name when he was, like, younger. And instead of actually, like, fighting any of it, he's just like, oh, I'll just pay it then. And so he's probably, like,$300 ,000 in debt just from his mom.

13:17She just kept pulling out credit cards and loans and vehicles and stuff in his name and just stopped paying them. This is a finance show, but...

13:29Do you want to be messy real quick? I always want to be messy. You want to call Marcus? I would, if I still had his number. Oh, how do you not have it? After everything kind of hit the fan, he was repairing relationships with everybody else and kind of left me off as the mistress on the side. So I went through and I deleted all of our text messages, all of our pictures, everything. How can we get it? Someone probably has it. How can we get it? You want to get it? I could. And then I think we call them on the show, and you tell them how you're actually getting your shit together. And then at the end, drop a, oh, by the way, I'm.

14:04Yeah. You want to? Yeah. That could be fun. You want to text and get that number? Yeah. And we'll get into finances and wait for the response. We're going to get, we're going to get, whoa, we're going to get messy. We're going to get messy. Oh. I can't wait. I just asked for it. Oh, so you also do DoorDash on the side right now? Yes, I do. Okay. Well, how many are, so if we're doing school, what, 40 hours a week and we're doing car dealership 40 hours a week? Is that correct? Car dealership is more than 40 hours a week, but yeah. How many hours are we doing into DoorDash? So I would, so the way that I do that is I focus on my homework on Sundays and on Wednesdays, which are my day is off.

14:44And then I work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And then after work every day, I would dash. So if I work nine to six, I would dash from 630 to 11. So how many hours are we getting and dashing? So when I'm dashing, I normally will do two hours, three days a week. So six hours plus another like eight. So anywhere like 14 to 20 hours a week. And what's coming in with that? Now, obviously, gas, maintenance, all that is higher. Are you taking that into account when you calculate how much you're bringing home? Yes. Okay, then what would you say you bring home after all that? After gas and everything, I'm probably, and I'm not put aside much when it comes to taxes because I just started doing this.

15:24I would say probably somewhere like$300 to$400 a month, which is just a little bit. Essentially, I do it. Call it three to be conservative, especially after taxes. So that still only brings us to$2 ,500 a month. While I'm in school. Is that what Xander's going to be? Not Xander, Zach. What was it? No, you're Xander. But what the f*** was his name? Marcus, Marcus, Marcus. Is that what you're going to be all jealous about? $2 ,500 a month? So, no. How are you paying for school? So, my dad was a veteran. So, my school is paid for by the... Well, that's nice. Thanks, goodness. That's still taking, obviously, time away.

16:00But you're going into a good career field. I am happy to hear that. You're going to have a lot of flexibility there into the different jobs you're doing. You're starting that kind of late. What were we trying to do this whole time? So, and there's also more income, too, because I get paid via GI Bill Chapter 35 every month that I'm in school. Hey, what are you bringing in with that? $1 ,500 a month while I'm in school. Okay, so total then we're at least up to four. Yeah. Okay,$4 ,000 is much more survivable. That makes sense. So why are you f***ing then? Honestly. Months I'm not in school. Hurts because I don't do summer courses.

16:33Why not then? Because my classes aren't available over the summer at the school that I'm at. How many credit hours do you have to be in school in order to do that? Can you take gen eds that you must complete? My gen eds I completed back in 2016, so I don't have gen eds left to complete. I went to school for music performance when I first left high school. Asshole. I know. So dumb. I did composition. What did you play? I sang. I was a vocal music performance major. Oh, yeah. Real gay. Very. Musical theater, too. Oh, yeah. Rapping Hamilton. Oh, no. I actually haven't seen Hamilton yet. Are you saying all this stems from literally the months you're not in school?

17:10So that job transitions were hurting me, too. Moves. I moved across Texas three times in the last four years. What's across Texas? El Paso? I moved from Houston to El Paso. Oh, actually across Texas. I did. Why? So I was a content creator during COVID. I turned my stimulus check into like playing video games for a living. And I did that for a year and a half. Did you actually make a living? How much? It would depend on the month. But I was making like about the same as what I made from the school. About$4 ,000 to$5 ,000 a month. Why'd you stop? What happened? It dried up pretty heavy after COVID.

17:44I didn't have the hugest following. Yeah, those who couldn't make the transition between COVID content creation and post-COVID content creation got... Luckily, I started afterwards, so I got lucky. I didn't have to try to do that transition. What was the game? I was playing Apex Legends. Yeah, and I'm sure people also moved on from that as well, and you kind of have to keep moving on to whatever the big game is, right? Absolutely. So I didn't switch at all. I played Apex. I was actually nationally ranked at one point for Apex Legends, which helped boost my content. but then after COVID ended, I couldn't do it anymore.

18:17And my best friend was pregnant in El Paso and she wanted me to move out there and sell cars for her husband. So that's what I did. Okay, how long were you there? What did it cost to move? Because again, you could just sell everything and move your car. Dude, when it cost me to move down to Austin from Michigan, much bigger move, I just sold everything packed up in my sedan and it probably cost me like a few hundred bucks. Yeah, that's what I did when I left South Dakota when I was living there. I moved back to Texas in 2016, or excuse me, 2018. and when I did that I sold everything packed up my little Chevy Impala 2007 and drove all the way back to Texas but when I moved to El Paso I was living at home at the time during COVID and then moved out on my own again so deposit, rent all that kind of stuff was more than I expected and then so that's kind of where it started and then getting adjusted to sales life was not easy and that became like the hardest part because I wasn't beating draw when I first got in the business either.

19:13So I was like trying to survive. Nice to get in draw, draw that you don't have to pay back because there are sales positions where you have to pay back. Yeah, I'm very lucky that I haven't had one. If you don't need it. I forgot what that's called. It's the other kind of draw. There's two different kinds. But either way, okay. So we're going to jump into these numbers, but is there anything else weird going on? So when it comes to that, yeah, I've got a situation going on at home that's not great. I let my friend move in. It was supposed to only be him. and his boyfriend to sometimes stay. Like if he wanted to stay with him one night, that's fine.

19:44How many bedrooms? I have a one bedroom. So you're about to make a trade based on a friend's text. But which you do you listen to? Is it, we could buy a house in Tulum. Get optioning those options. We could lose everything. Or let's do a little research. Get your head in the trade and make the investment decision that's right for you. Learn more at finra.org slash trade smart. They're sleeping on a couch. Two people moved into a one bedroom with you? Yeah, so there's three of us in the apartment. What the f***? Why'd they move in? Is that not a temporary move? You'd think it is with a one bedroom.

20:26It was supposed to be temporary. They were supposed to be out beginning of August. I'm sorry, beginning of September. Okay, well, we're at the end. Yes. What are they contributing to rent? $300 a month since they've been there. What's your rent? $1 ,450. Yep. Why are they still there? How long have they been there? August 1st is when one of them moved in. So one month it was supposed to be. Yep, it was supposed to only be the one month. Why have they extended? Why did they move in in the first place? They moved in because their apartment had a leak. So they were moving from one lease to the next lease, and there wasn't another apartment ready for them at that place.

21:00So they was like, hey, I just need a place to stay for a month while they're getting my next place ready. Hopefully it won't be that long. turned out no it was it's been almost two months now now what um well he got fired from his job that he was at so he you want him gone yes but he got fired why did he get fired um automotive industry he was a manager so management in automotive comes and goes very quickly um so they let him go from that one he's found another job but now it's just getting everything in line for him to leave. Will he even be able to? Here's hoping because I'm getting tired of it.

21:40Oh, they moved in with a cat and you're worried about getting evicted if they find out? Yes. Oh, that's a possibility? Yes. You can't just pay like a cat fee. I could pay a cat fee if they find the cat, but I'm also worried about the fact that I have two people living in an apartment they're not on the lease on and for them to find out that and then also the fact that I have a cat that I'm not supposed to have that it could end up getting me evicted from my place. And with my finances the way that they are, I'm scared of finding another place because I live in a pretty nice apartment right now.

22:10That's hard, man. Why can't the other one contribute to rent a bit more then? So they're not working. Let's talk about student loans.

24:00Yeah, they've depleted. So I had worked really hard at building up a stockpile of stuff. So I had laundry detergents and stuff like that and food. I had a full pantry and a full freezer of meat. That's something people work to build up? I saved. I've never heard of that. I was working to kind of save up and not have to buy it all the time. Okay, sure. And it's gone. And it's gone. But it's okay. You should be able to budget that on a monthly basis. That doesn't need to be all bought. But I had like three or four months of like, in case it's a bad month, not having to be able to go get groceries.

24:33But you know you're hitting your draw every time. Yeah, but we'll see. How much debt do you have? I want to say that I'm somewhere around like$168 ,000. $160 ,000? Yeah. That's insane. None of which is a house, I'll say. None of which is a house. That was the goal. And then... Two car lobes. Why do you have two car loans? I have two vehicles. Why? Why possibly? So the first car is my truck. Well, one of them is the first statement. Oh, why do you have two cars? Why possibly? So I work an hour from where I live, an hour and a half some days depending on traffic. Why, dude? Because it was what was available for me to find a job right away.

25:21I had problems finding jobs before. Are you looking for a jobs coaster? You better be. What the f***? I don't know why that means we need two cars. Two car payments. Two car loans. So it's 58 miles for me to drive to work every day. Yeah. And the truck is an eight-cylinder Silverado. Get rid of it. I can't. I am$21 ,000 in the hole in that truck. When it comes into the truck, I had two vehicles before. A friend. I don't learn from my mistakes, I guess, because I had a friend live with me. Dude, you're a bottom. Why do you have a truck? Well, my truck has blue seats on the inside. That way it didn't look like I was going to hate crime myself when I drove down the street.

26:06So the story behind the truck is that I had two cars. I had a Kia Sportage that was a lease, and then I had a Nissan Bursa that was a purchase. And I drove the Nissan Bursa when I would come home. That way I didn't put mileage on the lease. Well, my friend moved in with me and stayed there, and then he took the Nissan Versa because I was going to move home back to Houston. And whenever he took that car, he was making the payments on it. I traded my Kia in for a Cadillac lease that I was working at the dealership at the time. Oh, you guys sold his job. It lowered my monthly payment. And then, so I was leasing that because I was only driving five miles to work.

26:42So it made sense at the time. Well, they - Boring. Okay. I want to hear more about this. I want to get into the statement and then hear the rest of this.

So when that car had so much damage on it and it was a lease, I felt unsafe driving it every day. So I traded it in for that truck. For a truck? You could have got an SUV or something. Trucks are insane. So that was a service loaner truck. So it had mileage on it when I bought it.

27:46So it made it, I ended up getting like a really great deal on that. Yeah. Really great deal. You owe$60 ,724 and 55 cents making 22. You, you make 24 ,000 hours a year outside of the, what you get with the VA, uh, because your dad, which is only when you're in school and that's not going to last forever. 24 ,000 hours a year and you owe$60 ,724.55. That's a good deal? What are we talking good deal? Yeah, you're selling yourself, car salesman. So I originally financed on that truck$75 ,000. Why? What were you making at the time, you f***? So that was when it was pretty... 72-month term. Pretty good.

28:34Well, it was incentivized right then. Dude, dude, dude. Dude, the minimum monthly payment is$1 ,115. Which is less than it was on my Cadillac. What? What was it on your Cadillac? Why'd you need a Cadillac? It could be because the lease was going to get rid of all the negative equity. Dude, this is worth less than$30 ,000. Yeah. You're underwater by half, more than half. Oh. Yep. That truck sits at home, outside of the gate. What the fuck? Dude. Dude, what are we doing? Did you roll negative equity over? Yeah. How much? $24 ,000. Even that hasn't even. Yep. That doesn't count for the whole loss you have on it.

29:17With the deal I got on the truck, though. Deal. You keep saying deal. The mileage and rebates on the truck and my employee discount on the truck when I bought it, it did negate about like$10 ,000 of that negative equity. But you still got about$7 ,000 other than what you rolled over. Yeah, and that was only because it was the only truck expensive enough that I could roll the negative equity with what we had on the lot. It was only they had enough discount to cover it to keep the LTV in wet. There is nothing good here. No matter the cope, there is nothing good. You got the negative equity rolled over$25 ,000.

29:45Great. Plus an additional about$6 ,000,$7 ,000 of depreciating equity. Yeah. This is, what's the interest rate? 1.9%. Well, at least you got that, but this is still absolutely destroyed. And plus,$2 ,200 a month, half of your income goes to this car. Yes. A car you couldn't sell to save your life. It's impossible. No, I can't. Who the f*** would buy that? You wouldn't. No, this is insane. Yep. Honestly, if it is still sitting there, it might be worth selling for hopefully 30 and then beating down the other 30 as quick as you can. But not a jury income. I wouldn't know how. So the best way that I'm thinking about doing with that is just making the monthly payment that I have been until it gets to that point.

30:26Because a lot of it's going towards the principal, not the interest, since it doesn't have high interest. and then once it gets to that range, I'm not sure what you're seeing value-wise on it. It's Kelly Blue Book private party, so that's not even trade-in. Because when I looked at it... It's based on your VIN. Yeah. When I looked at it at the lot, when I was looking at trading it in for the car that I did buy, but I couldn't roll that much negative over, I was getting about like... When did you look? Three months ago, maybe. Okay, well, I mean, the car market hasn't been going great. It does drastically change every month.

30:53It does? Yeah. I was thinking it was only like$21 ,000 in the hole in the truck. Dude, I don't know. But I was just going to keep paying it down until I got it to the point where I could just sell it to the lot. And it's not driving. It's not gaining any mileage. I was debating putting it on Toro, but I figured with the cost of everything, putting it on Toro wouldn't be worth it because it's going to depreciate even faster then. Plus the insurance I'd have to hold on it would be too expensive. Dude, this is f***ed in every way possible. This is f***ed. And that truck is co-signed. By who? My dad.

31:24Why would he accept this? My dad co-signed on it because he didn't want me driving the XT5 either. when the airbags didn't deploy, it kind of was really scary. It messed up my back really bad. I agree, but this... So he was cosigned on the XT5 as well. Because when I rolled the negative, my credit wasn't strong enough by myself to lease it. What does he think of his dad? We don't talk all that much anymore, so... Why? We kind of had a huge falling out. What, the gay? No, I've been out since I was 14. Yeah, I was going to say, you're gay as... Yeah, I mean... Well, why'd you fight? They didn't come to meet my boyfriend that flew out at the time Okay We had the whole point of him coming out Because it was gay or because they just were busy or something They went, so they were gambling out in Lake Charles And then when they came back, they were like, oh, we're going to go dinner now We had just eaten They're like, but they kept pressuring me that if we're going to go out to eat Like you're going to pay for it because we're not going to pay for this meal to meet him So they were like, oh, we're going to go now and they were like, I wasn't going to pay for a meal that I wasn't going to eat at.

32:29So it didn't make any sense. So we didn't meet. And then after that, they kind of went radio silent for the rest of the weekend. He was there. And then when I dropped him off at the airport, I toured the apartment I'm in now, went home, packed all of my shit and I used my tax return to move out. I think someone just needs to make contact. How long has it been? We don't need to end an entire relationship because of a bad weekend. It was, they weren't very nice. I get it, but we can rebuild. Yeah, and we could. There's a lot of other stuff between me and my mom. That's just we're too much alike.

32:56So we... She's gay? No. Well, I don't think so. Okay. I don't like seeing people have damaged relationships with their parents when it doesn't need to be something longevity, if there wasn't like abuse or anything. It's kind of where we're both petty, and neither one of us wants to admit we're wrong. But you've got to sit and reflect sometimes and be willing to... How long has it been? Want to know a dirty little secret? And now I'm not starting an only. You're not broke because you suck with money. You just can't see where it's going.

Let's just try to be the bigger person, and you probably are. Actually, for my mom's weight, she's probably more obese than I am.

34:44Well, you said you're similar. Because her height, she's like 5 '4". And she's like 180 pounds. I don't know. I don't know. I wouldn't have a forever relationship destroyed. That's very like Gen Z TikToker. Where it's like someone disagrees with 1 % about them. And then they will never talk to them again. And think they're evil. It's like, it's not a very healthy mentality. It was a f*** weekend. You were not in the wrong. I'm going to be very clear. They were. And they might not apologize. but yeah I've honestly come to terms with the fact of being on my own so it's like I don't know I don't know if I want that because well it's up to you in the end I'd rather see people try to heal relationships than go nuclear in the end maybe once I get my own life in check then maybe there's going to be room to let other people back in but with everything else going on especially with the with the f*** of it all it's like I've been kind of like not emotionally available for anybody I just don't want to be around anyone yeah but fuck it besides Steve are you Steve oh yeah really yeah but he's kind of hot he's very hot are you saying I'm not hot have you seen Charles you saw him have you seen Charles absolutely that was one of the first things I showed her when I got here yeah like give me show me yeah because he told me on the phone how hot this guy was and I was like Like, okay, and usually, you know, people are saying, like, oh, the person's really hot.

36:15He undersold it. Yeah, I'm not saying you're not. We're just in very different leagues. Like, I'm in very different leagues than him. He's like, like, that's the guy you have to be afraid of. He's extremely attractive. So I'm all for it. Take it while you get it. Houston's a bear-friendly city, I would say. Okay, well, if I ever go gay, I'm moving to Houston. You would do well. Thank you. Thank you. We'll see you at Ripcord one night. Huh? We'll see you at Ripcord one night. It's a gay bar. Oh. One of them. I don't even go to normal bars, so. Yeah. It's okay. If you ever come out, I'll invite you.

36:49Dude, I've seen this. Can I tell you? A little offshoot. I've, some people have sent me a post that someone is, I don't know if it's on Reddit or Twitter. This one guy has posted a few times that he's seen me at gay bars in Austin or gay clubs. I don't even go to normal clubs. Like, it's just, that's the last place I would be found. Sure, Jan. Not even because it's gay. It's just like, I don't do that. Stop the cow. Stop the cow. It's just so fun. People say the most interesting things about me. You are gay. So that's curious. Maybe it's you. Maybe they saw you. Today, we're zeroing in on projection.

37:31Yeah, maybe. And they're like, oh, it's Caleb. Folks don't choose to be gay any more than I choose to be straight.

37:40Yeah, he put on a lot of weight since the last episode Who? If I was you Huh? Oh, yeah So, that truck's almost paid off Well, let me rephrase That's not almost paid off It's a year and a half into it And by the end of year three I should be able to sell it As long as it doesn't devalue you a whole lot I hope so, you're talking if you make your minimums But your minimums are half your income is the issue That's the scary thing Okay, we know your inflow on a monthly basis won't win out last month What was your outflow? I'm really bad about tracking how much money I spend on myself. I'm very good at tracking my bills and making sure I know that those are paid.

38:14We had lots of credit to the disbursements, and we had your final payroll, it looks like. Yeah, so it's difficult. And a new uploan loan disbursement, but that doesn't count in terms of income for me. I know my bills are like$44 ,000, so I probably spend like five. Okay, yeah, it was$12 ,388.25. Some of it may have been having to pay for school from disbursements or something, but even still. One of those was a consolidation, which did not work for me at all. No sh**. You consolidated and then you built up your debt again, huh? Yeah. So what always happens? You cannot consolidate unless you change your behavior.

38:53You're not a credit card person. I'll get you on the Fiz card, especially since you're a student because a lot of the perks are student related. Debit card that builds credit. You can't spend what's in your checking account. So it actually works for people like you. But like, why the f**k would we consolidate? dude. So I was really worried about when I lost my job because I just did that in June. When I lost my job, I was like, well, I need something in order to like it pushed the payment out a month. Let me try and find a job, consolidate it. It lowered the payment of what the total amount was.

39:21It just increased the total amount of debt. So I was like, this makes sense. I rationalized it to myself that this was going to make sense and it was going to help me and then proceeded to not change anything. It just never works. It's never worked in the history of this show. It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense. Okay, so this must be the second car alone. Yes. What is this car? It's a Kia Niro. I've never heard of this in my life. It's a hybrid. It gets 54 miles a gallon. Uh-huh. And so for my drive, for example, driving here from Houston, I don't have to fill up. I'll drive all the way here and all the way home and I won't need to take a guess.

40:00What's the interest rate on this? 10.99%. Oh, for f***s sake. You got a second car and then an 11 % interest rate loan on it? Why'd you get a car that was$23 ,344.38 is what you owe on it? What the f***? Why did we get a balance like that? You can't even come close to a 40 % balance like that. So with that car, I wanted to trade my truck in, but I was too upside down in it, and I didn't have a down payment saved. Yeah, but still, this amount is way too much for you. The payment is less on the car than what I was spending in fuel on the truck to get to and from work every month. That is not the justification, though.

40:35you can still get a cheaper car. Yeah. Because your minimum payment is$555.97. Now we are talking. Now we are talking. Put the 1115.07 plus 555.97. That is$1 ,671.04. Divide that by the 22 you make. 76 % of your income goes to your minimum monthly payments in your car. And now you have a balance that you definitely also cannot afford for a new car. Not even close, but you're at 11 % interest rate on it. That is so beyond f***. That is so beyond f***. Oh, great. Oh, but winner, he met quota because he purchased this car. Yes, I did. He met his monthly quota because he purchased this car. I did.

41:22Now that's a salesman. I also bought it to DoorDash with because I can't DoorDash in the truck. But when I finance the car, the maintenance is included in the financing, so I don't have to worry about maintenance and all that's covered.

41:45Dude. I haven't even spent a thousand years in fuel since I bought that car. Sure, but how many miles have you put on it since you got it? When did you get it? I got it in August. A month ago. Uh-huh. No, July. Sorry then, July. Just over a month ago. Yes, it has 7 ,000 miles on it. Well, I don't know. Dude. Two car loans, one at 11 % interest rate, taking 76 % of your income, all so you can f***ing door dash. Oh, f***. If you sold it in today, traded it in, or whatever the f***, what would you get? Nowhere near what I owe on that. What would you get? It's too new for a KBB. Yeah, I've... Come on, what would you get, sales guy?

42:29See, I don't do the appraisal part. Dude, come on, what do you think you would get then? Come on. Probably like 22. Oh! You're$40 ,000 under cars. $40 ,000 is what people owe on an expensive car, and that's what you're under on your cars, guy. That's insane. That's insane. I haven't had a car situation like this in long, long days. It's been a long time. Long time. I felt like it was a good decision to buy the car. Do you still feel like it was a good decision to buy the car? I mean, DoorDash was the only way that I was making my bills. Buddy, this balance doesn't make sense. This is the balance.

43:10You can't afford a$32 ,000 car in any way whatsoever. You went under$10 ,000 immediately. Great. You got hybrid. That's it. That's it. Buddy, this is 76 % of your income and you say it's good? You're at 11 % interest rate and you say it's good? Well, the interest rate could be better, but my credit took off. Could be. No, your credit's too bad of thought. I feel like the rate for a second out of that wasn't that bad. But that rate, a bad rate is a bad rate is a bad rate. That is a bad rate. I'd rather you get that on a 15 ,000-hour car. Yeah, we didn't have anything low enough mileage. You! There's other dealerships in Houston, Texas.

43:44But then I have to deal with all their shit, whereas I can just do it on the own. I know, but that would be better than save$15 ,000 to$20 ,000. Yeah. Dealing with someone else's shit in paper? I would rather do that and save$20 ,000. Well, at least I don't have to worry about maintenance on it. Like, the maintenance is all included. There's going to be 20 ,000 hours of maintenance? Well, I mean, I'm already due for my first oil change on it, and that's covered in, like, tire rotations and tires and stuff. And that's going to be$20 ,000? No. Uh-huh. But at least I don't have to pay for it. Like, at least it's covered and included in the car.

44:18Yeah, thank goodness. We're doing really well. This is f***ing insane.

44:28This is insane.

44:33You're doing that while also going out to eat, and that immediately pushed you over your budget. Just that alone, your two-car payments and then going out to eat. You're over budget. Over budget. And he told me while we were in break, we had to pause because it started, like, thunderstorming, that he has lost, like, 120 pounds in a year. You know what drives me insane? Cell phone bills. A hundred bucks a month so I get dropped calls in the middle of a grocery store parking lot. No thank you. And that is why I'm excited about today's sponsor, Helium Mobile. Helium Mobile is shaking up the phone carrier industry.

45:05They've got plans starting at free. Yeah, free as in$0 a month, no contracts, no credit card, no hidden fees. Just bring your own phone, download the app, and boom, you're connected. And if you need more than the free zero plan, they've got the Air and Infinity plans that are crazy affordable.

When I say game day, you probably think chips, screaming at your TV, and maybe emotionally regretting your fantasy picks. But you probably don't think Wayfair. Well, you should, because that's where I just decked out my setup for football season. Talking folding chairs that don't collapse after one use, a cooler big enough to hold all your bad decisions, and yes, even a grill. In America, half of every dollar spent on brand medicines goes to entities who don't make them.

46:16While middlemen like PBMs and 340B hospitals drive up costs, Biopharma is investing$500 billion in new infrastructure and manufacturing here at home and helping patients buy medicines directly at lower prices. Tell Washington to end middlemen markups and put American patients first. Visit phrma.org slash middlemen. That made me feel like a backyard chef instead of a guy overcooking burgers and flip-flops.

47:44Well over your budget. Well over your income plus DoorDash budget. Completely. It's the disbursement that keeps you there. But even that, you're barely breaking even at that point. Yeah. I'm always exhausted. Just the amount of work that I'm putting in. Good. Then meal prep twice a week and warm it up at home. So that's great when you're exhausted. That was great when I had the surplus of food to do that. but now I don't have that anymore. Okay. Tell them to go buy groceries. They, every now and then, will go grab, like, stuff. But, like, at this point, it's all gone, so anytime I do, Yeah, he's your friend, right?

48:17Yeah. Call him right now and tell him you need him to contribute to the grocery budget. He's working right now. And you can't afford it. Sometimes people answer during work. Okay.

48:30Leave a voicemail if he doesn't. Also, did you get the number? Oh. Do you know? I know you're on silent mode. Yeah I listened I put it in do not disturb mode Many don't He won't send it to me Is there someone else who will? There's a whole circle There's a whole lot of people but I know that He wouldn't give it to me either Because he doesn't want me talking to him at all Come on who would have it? I might be able to find it but let me Do you want me to call? Sure I don't want to get messy and then put the speaker up to here up to the mic if both of them are going to stay there they need to contribute an additional$300 a month of groceries

49:19I'll try to put it like on the mic hello hey I wanted to talk to you really quick we're filming right now for the financial audit show and are you busy what are you doing just at Starbucks Oh, okay. We were talking about my finance and everything when it comes to groceries and all of that. Uh-huh. And I need y 'all to contribute a little bit more when it comes to that. Whenever, because we need to... Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah. So I was hoping y 'all could do like around$300 whenever we do groceries and everything. Yeah. Yeah. So is that going to be a problem at all or no? No, it should be fine.

50:14Okay. And when is he leaving? And when are you leaving? We'll leave next week. Okay. Really? Okay. when? The last day of the month is when we move in. Okay. So, you know, I have the attention span of a goldfish, so. Well, I know. All right. But. Okay. Cool. Well, that's a win. That's a win. Yeah. Contributing groceries. Yeah. Hopefully they give you like 300 on the way out so you can restock. Yeah. Hopefully that'd be good. It seems like he was very receptive. Hopefully it wasn't just for the cameras. I don't know. You know, him obviously better than I do by far. He knows he's being filmed. We've been friends for a few years, but we weren't best friends.

51:02This was a favor that he asked out of the blue. Hadn't talked in a while. But do you think he'll actually contribute? And you think they're moving out next week? I would believe that they're moving out. They've been talking about it, but when he got fired, getting all the income documents to them has been the struggle. So I didn't know how long that was going to take or how long it was going to last that he was going to just push that out. Because it seems and then with his boyfriend friend not working. And you think they'll give$300 on their way out to restock? It would be very nice if they did.

51:30I hope they do. Well, do you think? He just said yes, but you know then. Did he save it for the camera, or is he... He might have said it for the camera, just because he doesn't want to look bad. Especially because he watches the show. Ah. So he's gonna see this. Ah. Right. Okay. Alright, we have, I think, a credit card. But, wow, this is so over. Wait, is it? No, this is cash advances. Yes. What the? He did$2 ,550 in cash advances? Yes. I've never even seen that on this show. $260 of fees. Oh, dude, why? What's happening? So I opened the net credit when I needed money to gamble. What? What the fuck does that even mean?

52:26What the fuck? 50 minutes in, what the fuck does that even mean? So whenever I would gamble and I overdid it. You're gambling what? Slots. Where? On my phone. Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.

52:49Dude, what the fuck? So whenever I would overextend myself out of my checking account, I would take a cash advance in order to cover everything else. Slots on your phone? What does this even look like to you? Because this is insane. Again, you took out 2 ,550, but it brought it to a balance to 2 ,810. What did you use at all for slots? To recuperate the loss on slots, yeah. Slots when? When slots? June. What the f***? You spent that much on slots? Or you lost that much on slots in your phone? Buddy! No! How much slot playing even is that to get there? I don't know. I've never done it. Unfortunately, not a lot.

53:33The story behind why I even got into it was because my parents, they won$200. $5 a spin, Lindsay's saying? Yeah,$5 a spin. Sorry, go on. My parents won$200 ,000 on there and did receive that money. Actually, they probably net almost$250 ,000 in total. and uh so I was doing it to see if I couldn't net something out of it too and then I kind of fell into it where it was like no there were times that it did make up differences where I was like struggling and then yes no struggling this is more than your income on a monthly basis and you had to cash advance for it you had to cash a advance

54:16dude this is insane just to like pay for your groceries Yeah. Yeah, you got almost an 11 % fee. That's a monthly one. You paid 11%. 11%. And now it's going to sit there and accrue interest, right? So that 11 % fee is like every month. Yeah, the balance. It accrues 11 % a month? Yeah, it's a statement. A month, not a year and then broken down month by month. No, it's a. It is 11 % a month? Yeah. So there's a statement balance fee. Like, that's what that is. So the s*** is like 100 % a year Depending on how long it takes me to pay it off, yeah

55:00What the f***? So we're talking, we're basically talking like a Like 130 % a year. 130 % a year

55:14for slots? 130 % loan for a slot. Yep. I was trying to win big and it didn't work. How long have you been doing this? So when I was living with my parents is when I started. When was that? So I moved out of my parents' house in 24 so it was probably in 23 is when I started. And then June of this year, you f***ed. So it ramped hard Did it ramp hard or was that just a common thing It was kind of constant So a lot of this debt we're going through Is just you slotting it up Yeah whenever I would like Get sad or whenever I would like I would do slots To Try and feel better You got sad? But now Rodrigo or whatever the f*** his name is In your slot so you shouldn't be doing slots anymore Because you're not as sad right?

56:06Is that how this logic works? I guess kind of, yeah. I'm a little busy with that. He's got me back into exercising again, so it's like. Are you slotting less? Like, wait, like. Are you slotting less? Him slotting me or slotting less on my phone? On your phone? Yes. How much less? What was your monthly average you were losing in slots? Anywhere from$1 ,000 to$2 ,000 a month. That's your entire income. You f***ing. When I was making money at the. And now?

56:35Now, it's gone. It's not going to happen anymore. No, no, no, no, no. Leading up to now, last month, what was it? Because no, no, no. You can't just say from this point on. Last month was maybe like 500 bucks. That is money. That is substantial money when making 2 ,200. That is not a joke. 500 is substantial still. That is still literally 23 % of your income that went to slots. The hard part with my income is there's also like spiff money, which is like bonus. What is a spiff? That sounds like a slur. It's a bonus. So like if you sell this many cars in a day, like you'll get a bonus. If, you know.

57:08Yeah, but big dude, you're not even hitting your f***ing draw. Right. Is that included into paying back your draw? Your spiffs? It's taxed and then it would, they pay it out as a check. So I would get it as a check and then they tax it on my draw check. So they pay me the full amount of whatever the bonus is and then. So we really shoot for the spiffs? As often as I can, as often as they're available because they're not consistent. So how often were you hitting the SPFs then? So the first month, it was probably like$1 ,100. It's just not consistent because when the store is doing well, there's SPF money.

57:44When the store is not making as much money, there's not as much money for SPFs. So it's like dependent on how the industry is doing, really. Okay. Yeah, this is crazy. Your minimum monthly payment on this is$387.50. It does go down every month. like the monthly payment for that is like, it drops like 50 bucks. So when the balance goes lower, it goes lower. Okay. So every time I make a payment, it's like$50 less. This is insane. Yeah. Yeah. Literally two months and we've had$515 total fees. This business is crazy. They make so much money. If I had no morals, this is crazy how much they make. Yeah.

58:22I wish that I could get it. That's the only, so I don't, I guess that's the only like line of credit that I have. when it comes to pulling money like that. Oh, yeah, pulling a cash advance? Yeah. It better be because you should never do that. That's as bad as it gets. Yeah, no, I don't have any other ones besides that one. Where are we with getting the number? Because we've got 30 minutes left, and I want to close with it. For you, chat, I'm messy for you. We're messy. We're messy. We're messy, buddies, aren't we? Oh, absolutely. Should that be our team name? He won't send it to me. But you said you have another way to get it?

58:55If I asked Caleb for it, but Caleb would read me for filth asking for it. That's okay, right? No, because also he doesn't know that me and Charles are sleeping together, and we don't want him to know. Does Caleb maybe know who I am? Is there a chance? No. There's no chance. More than likely not. But there is a chance that he might eventually see it. so I'm like so that's why I don't care if I talked about it like on the show but like we like even at the bar and stuff like he doesn't see us do anything besides just be friends this is just this is one of the craziest accounts I've ever seen again literally like I like money but unfortunately morals are subjective and unfortunately I do have some that really sucks cause what a money making opportunity that is they own you They own you.

59:54They really do. What is this? This looks like a payday loan. No, that one is an Upstart loan. Upstart? Okay, what'd you get Upstart for? Which one is that? Because I have three. Oh, my. Why? What are you doing with your life? I think that one was the consolidation one that I just recently did. You got a consolidation at higher interest rates than credit cards? Hey, that makes sense. This is at a 36 % interest rate. That's lower than some of my credit cards were. What? No. Yeah. What credit cards did you have? I have like six. No, no, no. I don't see credit cards above 36. It's extreme when they're at 35.

1:00:31Yeah. I don't know what my milestone card was, but it was high. What? So. This is insane. He borrowed$4 ,312 and the finance charge attached to it at that 36 % interest rate is literally more at$5 ,002.71. He owes a total of$9 ,314.71. That is insane. That is insane. Does it say when that was paid? Yeah, that... Yeah, it took out in August, and it's done in 2030. $9 ,314.71. Minimum monthly payment,$155.02. It's going to be for... That's if I pay it. Ever. Is that if I pay it like only the minimums? That's what I would pay total? But I don't see any other way at this point is the thing. This is crazy.

1:01:28Okay, so what did you do? This was the consolidation? That was the consolidation one to kind of like float me through, like get the payments paid and paid off and then float until I found a job. This is wild. This is wild. Yeah, the craziest part about it is I had just paid off a different Upstart loan like two months before that when I was making good money at work. And then I ended up having to take another one from Upstart again to make it. Okay. I got another one. What's this for? This one's also at a 36 % interest rate. You borrowed$1 ,100, but the finance charge is only$400 for this one.

1:02:05It must be a quicker payment term. It is. Two years. So that one was when I took the job at the school, I had to go to Dallas for training. They did reimburse part of it, but not at the level at which they said they were going to reimburse it. So you don't have any savings? No. Have you ever had any savings? Not successfully. Not that I haven't touched. Because that's what the point of this all is, is when those things pop up that are opportunities. Instead of yourself with a 36 % interest rate, $1 ,439.13, monthly payment,$79. That's crazy. Well, that's good. What's the balance today? I assume you wanted to get out of the car sales, and that's why you went into this field, right?

1:02:47But now you're back in. Yeah. The story behind getting back in was that I was kind of moping after losing my job and then woke up a Saturday morning from a text from my old boss that said, come sell cars for me. And so I went back to selling cars. Good. At least you're getting the disbursement, right? Yeah. And I'm hoping I'll start doing better. Because as I'm in school, this isn't a bad thing when it comes to that. Oh, I guess it's half paid off. I'm sorry. Ah. So what's the balance? Balance. That's why we check. Probably like$750? $800? $719. $719. Minimum of the payment,$79. Okay. Yeah, that's f***ed.

1:03:27Here's another f***ed one. Not as bad interest, but it is still substantially bad interest. It's 17%. Whoa, you borrowed$6 ,564 and you had to pay back a total of$9 ,759? What the f*** was this for? That's when I moved to El Paso. You had to borrow$7 ,000 to move? I used part of it for moving, part of it for living, while I was getting adjusted to being back on a paycheck. Come on. Because I didn't have any content creation money coming in then. How quickly did that die? A year and a half. $9 ,759. Where were you streaming? Were you streaming or making games? Facebook gaming. This is the second time we've talked to a Facebook streamer.

1:04:02This week and in my life somehow. Two days in a row. What the f*** is happening? I swear when one person does something for the first time on the show, all of a sudden I get like four of them in a row. That's so weird. How long did you live in El Paso for? two months. This for two months? Buddy! Part of it, so I didn't spend all of it when I was there. I used it to move, pay for the UOL and stuff, and then deposit. Going to the other side of gays. I don't move in that quick. I actually prefer to live alone, mostly. No, lesbians move in quicker. Gays move into their holes quicker. That's how it goes.

1:04:38It was only a month before, you know. They should have a grinder for the straight stuff. That's all I'm saying. Honestly, I thought, isn't that what's in, like, Bumble is or Tinder? Yeah, you got to swipe. Grindr's like a buffet. Oh, it really is, yeah. But it's funny. There's a lot of straight guys on Grindr. Okay, I want to... Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. But that, I also used part of that to move back to... I moved to Victoria, Texas after that. Is that Houston? It's two and a half hours away from Houston. It's kind of middle ground. It's called the Crossroads. So it's two and a half hours from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston.

1:05:08It's like right in the middle. I thought that was College Station. Mm-mm. Not for me. If you want to land a high-paying job but don't have experience or a degree, then you need to learn about course careers. It is the easiest way to land the high-paying career that you've been dreaming of. I've done financial audits for hundreds of people, and what I've learned is that the single biggest factor someone can take to improve their life is getting a higher-paying job. And that is why I've been such a huge promoter and even an investor in course careers. The way it works is you simply go through an affordable online course to start a new high-paying career path.

And the coolest part about Course Careers is their platform works for people who don't have any previous experience or degrees. Their courses teach you everything you need to know to land your first entry-level job.

We're done. Like, we're done already. Like, this is insane. How much school do you have left? So I'll finish my accounting associates this semester. Associates? Yeah. Are you going bachelor? I was going to, yeah. When are you going to be done with that? It would be two years.

1:06:44All right, what is Milestone? Milestone's a credit card. What are you doing with this? We got fees. We got purchases. Interest. Oh, for sake. What are we doing? You're at the limit. So that credit card I originally had opened, and I was only going to use it for fuel and stuff and increase my credit limits when I was trying to get everything paid down. And then... 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. Mmm. Or this tea time you.

1:07:22Or even this tea time you. Said 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. When I went to Tennessee in June, right before I lost my job. Why? Just for fun? I met with— You still had bad debt during that. I paid for the trip itself and everything, not on a credit card, not on any credit. Why the fuck are you paying for a trip when you have those other debts that we already looked at that you got before you lost your job anyway? This was kind of like a once in a blue moon kind of a trip.

1:07:57It wasn't a trip. Tennessee, that doesn't exist at any time else. Well, so the reason we went to Tennessee was because it was a main meetup for like all of us that used to play together. And like we're all in a discord together. You guys don't make money. I don't care. Yeah. You'll meet up again. I mean, maybe, but this was a chance that I had and I was at a good job. What did it cost? So I paid, I think,$300 was my share of the cabin we stayed in Gatlinburg. And then... Cabin? Yeah. We stayed in like the nice cabins up in the mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Were they gay? Two of us were. Three of us were.

1:08:34No, I didn't sleep with any of them when I was there. What? No. You're such a bad gay. Those are like my friends. One of them is literally we call him... Which probably shouldn't have said that. But gay uncles love touching their... Stop. One of them is like family. A lot of these people are my friends that kind of kept me going. So it was like a nice chance to go and I didn't want to sleep with any of them. Why is there$15.07 of fees? Buddy, why are we spending on a credit card right now that we cannot pay off while we have bad debt while interest is occurring? I don't even know what I put on there.

1:09:11I'll tell you. You stopped at the gas station and got some bullshit. It wasn't gas. What are you getting? Because I do see gas right after that, what you go in and get. So when I went and got gas, I was going to put it on my debit card, but... No, no, no, no. I see gas. At the same time, you also went in and got something. What did you get? That's when I tripped. That's when I was on my way. So it was a snack or something on the road when I was driving to Tennessee. This just happened in June? Yeah, the meetup was in June. Listen, listen, this is, this is, I, we gotta stop this out there, ladies and gentlemen.

1:09:36People go in and they stop and they get their one-off snacks. They get their one-off energy drinks. This happens every show. This is, that's specifically why I work with the Gamersubs. Dude, no more$4 energy drink bullshit. 10%, 10 % off, link in the description below for the best tasting energy drinks I've ever personally had. And it's 25 cents a serving. It is just like making coffee at home instead of going to Starbucks. It's stupid. Stupid. And there's free samples. Use my code Caleb. Free samples. Get your gamer subs. Figure out what flavor you like. That is 25 cents a serving. No more stopping at the gas station getting some bullshit.

1:10:12I'm done with this. I'm so done with everyone doing this because you did with Bucky's as well. So stupid. McDonald's. Chinese restaurant. Swing Baytown Plaza. McDonald's. Burgers. Come on. We're losing weight. What are we doing? What's the fees? Well, that was a splurge trip when it came to like food. Oh, also Raising Canes and you went in and got some bulls**t. Again, Gamer Supps. I guarantee you it's f***ing tastes better. I promise. It's literally, actually, it's f***ing incredible. I'm like addicted. But it's bad. It's bad. It's bad. Go in and get all this bulls**t. Do you have a sugar-free option though?

1:10:45Because I don't do sugar, so. It's very low-cal. It's a super low-cal drink. Okay. No, dude. And the Monster's like 300. It's f***ing great. Yeah, total fees this year so far,$41.27. This is crazy. Mm-hmm. This is insane. What is the fee? Oh, it's a monthly protection fee and then a monthly fee. This is crazy. They're making so much off of you. They're making so much off of you. Yeah, this is at a 36 % interest rate. Oh, f***ing death. Synchrony home. For what? When I moved to El Paso. It's so long ago now. Yeah. The main reason with that card it's super weird is that I didn't use it enough, and so they closed it.

1:11:27Um, there wasn't anywhere that I had that accepted Synchrony Home. Good. You're not a credit card person. But that was, I don't remember exactly how the breakdown of it was because I took out a loan and the credit card and I got like my couch, my love seat and my washer and dryer and computer. All for two months. Well, I took everything with me to the next apartment. That's expensive to move from El Paso with a bunch of furniture. We packed it all in a big U-Haul. Interest. You've had, you've had a late fee this year. Yeah, you've had a late fee this year. That's insane. Interest accruing 30%.

1:11:59Balance$896.67 with a minimum payment of$32. Do you still have this furniture? No. Yet you are paying interest and late fees on it. That's insane. Do you not get this computer? Yeah. One of this was the computer? So I had a con. I bought it through Cons Home Plus before they went out of business, or at least the one that I had went out of business. And I had a washer, dryer, computer, couch, and loveseat that I bought when I moved. I needed the computer for work, and I bought it when I got there because there was no desk space for me. So I bought a computer so I could do that, and then it was also good for me to do my homework on.

1:12:34So I didn't have a – my tower was moved, but, like, I don't know. It was easier with a computer. This is insane. Best Buy, speaking of computers. So what's up with this? I took that card out originally when I started streaming is what I bought my first computer on. What do you think dried up? Why did you think it dried up? Like it doesn't just go away. It went back to work. There's always reasons why. Well, for me it was like. Yeah, but you. Because streamers still made it. Why you? So I didn't have like multifaceted content then. I was purely on Facebook gaming. Gamers still made it though. Well, Facebook gaming.

1:13:10Yeah. I guess I don't know Facebook. It didn't transfer very well when I tried switching to Twitch. Because I did try to switch to Twitch. And not a lot of the people followed from Twitch. And it was really hard to build Twitch without having a following. You can't. Yeah. So it was like very difficult. my actually my twitch now that i still sometimes go on just for fun to see the people that i used to see has more followers than my original one did nine hundred seven dollars eighty eight cents still owed on here for something you're not even making money off of anymore that's actually newer stuff on that credit card then what is it um it was my keyboard broke so i bought a new keyboard this is nine hundred seven dollars and then i also did buy an alexa on that an alexa what?

1:13:50An Alexa Supreme Max? Like what the f***? This is$907. So my Best Buy Supreme stuff, like for me to take all of my tech to Best Buy no matter where I bought it from is on that card. And then like I bought the Alexa Home and like the keyboard and that kind of stuff. It's just, it piled up on there. $23.02 of interest accrued, five years of minimum payments. To pay this off is f***ing crazy. You're going to pay a total of almost$2 ,000 and then $33 is your minimum. F***ing insane. 107 this year so far. 30 % interest rate. City Advance, Planum Select. Is this the one that you said you thought was over the interest rate of the other one?

1:14:32No, that was a milestone card. Okay, well, we'll see. That one. This is a crazy balance. Basically at the max. Why? Purchasing 115, why? So my medical bills were on that one. Partially for my surgery in May. What? Why didn't you just get a payment plan from the hospital? Why'd you put it on your card? It's a payment plan from the hospital on the card. On the card? Yeah. When I filed on there, it was supposed to be like$100 that ended up being$85 a month. It goes on that card. That's part of it. Wait, you pay your payment on this card? Yes. Oh, your payment plan's not actually on this card. It's not like an actual loan payment plan.

1:15:08It's just through the hospital itself. Yes. And you could win on that card. But you put it on an interest accruing card. Yes. Dude, you are at$2 ,072.73. because you can pay it from your debit card because the payment plan from the hospital is not necessarily the worst thing, but you're just going crazy putting it on an insane card. $53.98 of interest recruit last month. This will take nine years to pay off the way you're going, but that's if you don't put anything on here. And you always do. You put your hospital, your medical bill on here. So this will never be paid off. Do you want to know why I opened it?

1:15:41Why'd you open it? Sure. So I went to South Dakota in May and it was... I guess that's where bears are found, right? You like that? Actually, a lot of them are twinks out there. Like, they just all have heavy coats. Bears. When it comes to the city card, I opened it because it gave me a credit for my flight when I flew to South Dakota. And then it just kind of spiraled from there. Because I used to be, when I was heavier and it was that flight that taught me that I don't need to book first class anymore, but I was so heavy. But Stacy? In Stacy? Like I see you're Methodist. Okay, yeah, that's the medical bill.

1:16:20What's this In Stacy Incorporated? $30. I don't know. What? Come on. You're$85 medical? Sure, but then there's an extra$30 from Stacy Incorporated. You don't even know what that is? I don't. I could have used it. I had a late fee this year so far. Yeah. So you put a payment plan on this card, and then you don't even pay this card on time. Dude. Yeah, that's a 30 % interest. Those two late fees happened when a paycheck was, it fell weird. And so I couldn't get it paid on the day. And it was like a day or two late. So I made it late. Capital One. What's going on with this? Which Capital One card?

1:17:00Oh, this Capital One. You owe$1 ,709.97. So that's my Platinum card. That one, I opened that one when I was looking at Victoria. And it's maxed out again. Sorry, go ahead. So, yeah, with that one, I used that one as kind of like my baseball card. That's what I would buy video games with. That's what I would buy. Dude. What now? Because you're still spending. Yeah, that one I feel like was only my chip on my debit card was messed up for a while. And so I got a new debit card. But it had to be mailed to me. So I was using the credit card. 12 years, minimum payments only without any purchasing. And you always purchase.

1:17:44This is crazy. This is crazy. And no, you stopped in the gas station and got some bullshit. Yeah, because my chip didn't work on my debit card. Gamer stops. More affordable. They have a hydration drink version as well, by the way, if you don't want the caffeine version. I usually do the hydration drink version. Yeah, late fee this year so far, almost$300 of interest. We're at a 30 % interest rate. Yeah. Insane.

1:18:11Okay, Quicksilver 1 What's going on with this? This just keeps going That one had my anesthesia on it from the surgery Which is what Because the anesthesia wasn't fully covered by my insurance But it was through the hospital So I have a$51 monthly $51 monthly payment On the anesthesia that I'm paying But I moved that to my debit card But you're paying via this card But again, you're not paying. This isn't that debt. You are paying that debt with this credit card. So that doesn't explain the overall balance. $25 of interest,$29,$21 of spending, eight years to pay off no spending, but of course you are, and that is paying off another debt.

1:18:53And yes, actually, no. No, I don't have any of the anesthesia. I have a vending machine in Planet Fitness. My Planet Fitness didn't go on that card too, yeah. But I canceled that. I don't see anesthesia. It should be on that one. Or maybe it was going to be on that one. I moved it to my debit card because the payments on those are coming out soon. And then vending machine. Again. At work, yeah. Stupid. $3 drink or 25 cents per serving? What are we doing, guys? This is what we have to do in budgeting. Come on. Make coffee at home. Make your energy drinks at home. Make your hydration drinks at home.

1:19:28What are we doing? Meal prep, sandwiches. Come on. We've had a late fee this year so far. No one surprised. $150 of interest. Almost 32 % interest rate. Discover it. Oh, my goodness. This balance is insane. That was my first ever credit card that I opened in college. Great. It's$2 ,693.92. Minimum monthly payment,$84. Yeah. So when I was originally at the car lot, before I moved away from the car lot, I tried doing a debt relief program. Oh, great. So twice. But I canceled it. when I did that, it broke the terms of service with the Discover card, so it closed. $84 minimum fee payment, 11 years to pay off.

1:20:1211 years, minimum fee payments only, which is what we're doing. $63.05 of interest accrued. Late fee this year so far, $500 of interest, 28 % interest rate. Yep, all those late fees are from the same one time now. Oh, man. And we keep going. Student loans. Yes. Why didn't you use the same thing you're using now? Because I was living in South Dakota at the time. So I couldn't do that. What's your total? Okay. Well, these are deferred right now, so we don't have to worry about it. Well, I'm in school. But some might be accruing interest still. Yeah. $30 ,000. $30 ,886.36. So what did you do before?

1:20:53School-wise? Can you bless me with something? Oh, gosh. Money-wise? Yeah. That's when I was in school for a music performance. Oh, right. And then I was living on my own at the time and then dropped. Great. So you already have$30 ,000 student loans for music performance. Yeah. That's about what I got. So that one I'm trying to, while I'm in school, they're deferred and it's helping me stay. Yeah, but we're going to have to pay it back. And that's like a minimum of$350 when you get it. There's the anesthesia. This is the anesthesia. Yeah. Okay, of which you owe a total of what? It's at the top there,$3.05.

1:21:34That's the total? Yeah. That's not the minimum? That's the total. Okay, that's not bad. It's not a lot. Do you know the minimum or are you just charting it? Okay, so anesthesia,$305.95, interest-free, I assume. Yes. $51 minimum fee payment. And so that'll be almost done. That only takes like six months to pay off. Yeah, it's not the worst. and then here's the hospital bill. That one's$85 a month. Also not the worst. I just don't like that. Now we're putting it on a credit card. Both have been moved. So I took all of my credit cards out of my wallet. I don't carry them anymore. I don't have them attached to anything.

1:22:12I canceled everything on it. Nothing charges onto a credit card and moved both of those payments to my debit card. $709.64, minimum payment 85. Okay, probably interest-free as well, right? And that's all your debts, correct? Yes. Good. Checking account. Let's see. Started with 1 ,691. Oh, my goodness. Dude, I'm seeing a lot of bullshit in here. Yeah, there's a lot of bullshit. This is insane. You're putting minimum payments on credit cards, yet you're spending this much on bullshit. That's unacceptable. That is disgusting. That is horrendous and unacceptable. And we ended with 1 ,500. Okay. Wait.

1:22:56Is there extra loan in here? What is this 14 % thing? Quick loan? Oh, yeah. It's like a... It's an extra loan? Yeah, it's$1 ,000. Why? What is it? What is it? So it's kind of like the net credit. It's a line of credit. It's a line that I can pull from. Oh, it's$1 ,000. You maxed it out by the end of the month.

Wendy's, Uncanny.com Uncanny.com What the fuck is that? That was a trading card shop. Stop. It's a new form of gambling. Yeah, well, that was something that Mark got me into. so I'm not into it anymore. VGW is an online casino. That's what that is, by the way. Oh, so it's probably just the... It's more slots. It's the same slot, but it sometimes comes at a different charge. I only ever use the one. Going in and getting some bullshit. Starbucks, Hay Day Mountain.

1:25:07It's an in-game bullshit on an app. Lucky Day, Baskin, Coney Island, Amazon, Sonic, Heroes Collectible, Starbucks. Yeah. uncanny there it is cash app oh looks like you got some bulls mcdonald's burger king freddy's frozen custard amazon taco bell mcdonald's starbucks lucky land lucky land vending machine panda express this is insane this is insane in-app purchase amazon prime amazon prime mobbo's food gambling lucky land mcdonald's marshall's going and getting some bullsh**. McDonald's, Wendy's, Amazon, in-app purchase. Oh. Going and getting some bullsh**. There's gambling right there. Taco. By the way, no.

1:25:58June was... No. Yeah, last month. This was just a couple weeks ago, this gambling. Taco Bell, McDonald's, Cracker Barrel, gambling another $99. Gambling $99. Gambling$99. Gambling$99. Gambling$99. It was not$500. Your release is at$800 by now. That was... That was in July, right? Yes. Last month. This is insane. Oh, another$99.99. Okay, we're easily over$1 ,000. You said$500 when I said last month. August, yeah. You said$500. Come on. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's okay. This was. So going from like$1 ,200 to$500? Yeah. Still not great. Dairy Queen, Chick-fil-A, Sonic. Gambling, gambling, gambling, gambling.

1:26:33Every time,$100. We're approaching about$2 ,000 now. McDonald's, Raising Cane's, Taco Bell. Gambling, gambling, gambling. Popeyes, Nintendo, Sonic, Spotify. Gambling. Gambling, gambling, gambling. Chicken Express. I'd join a group, buddy. I'd join a group. Amstar, Vending Machine. Donuts, McDonald's. This is crazy. McDonald's, Burger King, Panda Express. Gambling, Sonic, Pokemon. Going in and getting some bullshit. Vending Machine, Vending Machine, Vending Machine. This is insane. We've also had fees on the cash advance bullshit this year so far. I don't know if these savings to save my dick. The thing is, we know you're dramatically over budget already.

1:27:16so this is going to be sad. So there was something that I was considering but obviously not until I could kind of figure everything out when it comes to sticking to it. Bankruptcy? There's a debt relief program that could lower take all the credit cards and loans into one and it drops the payments from like$1 ,100 to like$357. And it's something I was open to consider. Just the credit cards though. Remember your car's alone. The credit cards and the loans. The car loans too? Not the car loans. Well the car loans alone are almost 80 % of your income So I still don't think we even like break even.

1:27:50Because then you got rent and you got, this is going to be interesting.

1:27:58You're lucky the student loans are deferred right now because you're, oh.

1:28:07Also, I don't want you to do a consolidation again. Didn't you just do it a couple months ago? Like, what are we doing? The loan didn't pay out. Like, this would be a lot more. It would cover a lot more of it. Let's not even think about that yet. Let's focus on changing behavior. Because here's the thing. Your minimum fee payments,$3 ,002.21. That's what your student loans are deferred to. That is f***ing crazy. That is f***ing crazy. What's your rent? $1 ,425 to$1 ,450. And we're over, including disbursed months. There it is. That was it. And now we're over. We're over by$400. just like that, including DoorDash, net, including pay, including the payouts that sound like a slur, and including the disbursement while you're in school.

1:28:55You're already over by 400. But let's continue. Internet, water, gas, electric, utilities, all combined. So water and stuff is in the rent. The electric bill is normally around like 80, so about 130 bucks for electricity. Phone bill? $30. That's not bad. Gas, vroom, vroom, drive, drive. Maybe like$150 at most. Car assurances. $386. It's another reason to just kind of sell it. Just sell it. Necessary food. We could do$300. Use the meal plan that you get in the budgeting class and use the cookbook. Just warm up your food meal plan a couple times a week. and again, no more vending machines.

1:29:45TP fund,$100. Anything else you need to survive? Medical healthcare, co-pays on a monthly basis? So co-pays is once every three months. It's$30. I'll put 10 bucks and then gym, how much? So I don't go to the gym anymore. We go running in the park. So it's like$2 every time we go to park. The Burlington Coat event is back. Buy a coat now through November 29th and get$5 off your merchandise purchase of$25 or more from December 6th through December 24th. Plus, Burlington is donating 50 ,000 new coats to help those in need nationwide through our partnership with Delivering Good. We've been keeping you warm for over 50 years.

1:30:24We'll see you at our coat event. Burlington. Deals. Brands. Wow. Visit burlington.com slash coats for details. And it's like$10. Oh, really? Yeah, we go... $20 a month? Yeah. So$30 for medical health care. subscriptions. I try to do about 30, I guess. Do you have any pets? No. Thank goodness. Subscriptions are less than that, actually, because it's just Netflix, Amazon. I'll call it 20. It's just Netflix and Amazon and Spotify. That's it. And Nintendo. That's it. They're all student-based, so they're all pretty cheap. You have to probably let your credit cards go to collections for this thing to work, right?

1:31:03Yes. So they say that I should stop making the payments and just pay them. So it would be$357 a month that I pay them. Yeah,$5 ,542 to survive right now. That's not even close. That's not even close. This is impossible. This is impossible. Except it's not. You have two options. There's that. Well, yes, I would just stop paying the debts now. Okay. Honestly, even including the Silverado. Well, the hard part with the Silverado is just, it's not just my credit. I signed on it. Trust me, I thought about letting it go, but I can't do that. Even though we don't talk, I still won't do it. Okay, let's get a job closer to you and get rid of the other car and then just drive the Silverado to the closer work.

1:31:54Yeah. Because we can't have these two car payments. That doesn't work. Just let it go. Not even sell it. Just let it go. And then after you change behavior in three months, either do this thing, but honestly even more in order to get rid of the, essentially you're going to do a voluntary repo on the Kia once you get a closer job. And then we're just doing bankruptcy. We're doing bankruptcy. Use it now. Won't be able to for the next seven to 10 years. And it's going to f*** you for a while credit wise. But you need a fresh start. And it's the time. And even still, you're going to be f***ing that Silverado release.

1:32:21That'll be our only debt, not including student loans. But it's time. But you need to change your behavior for at minimum two months before you do that. And you can stop paying on that debt except for the cars for now. So voluntary repo, once you get a closer job on the Kia, that's it, man. That's it. Because there's no way out of this by plowing through. Your income jump would just be substantial in order to even make any kind of progress. It would have to be at least like$3 ,000 extra. And that's crazy. You would have to just be the best car salesman in the world all of a sudden. And in your job, you're not getting out of college for a better job for a couple years still.

1:33:05So that's what I would do. Let's get his hammer financial score. But I will say, apparently, there's something incredibly insane we got to talk about in the post show. All right. Well, I'm excited. So let's get his hammer financial score. Spending a budget overspends. You're a 10. Debt? Dude, there's no way. This is not a just, it's, there's no IRS or collections, but it's as bad as it gets. One out of 10, essentially. Without that emergency fund, there's nothing zero out of 10 retirement. There's nothing zero out of 10 real estate. There's nothing zero out of 10. Hammer financial score rounded up out of generosity, 0.5 out of 10.
