He's watching it in the other room. Okay, good. Let's see. I'm curious what he's thinking. Let's see what we think. Oh. That's not Stan. What is it? I just make singing videos as well. I'm obviously not a singer. Let's see if this one's stand up. No. It's not? No.

I think my house is haunted. Well, I didn't pick them. Not a single stand-up. Okay, let's watch your most... Let's watch your most recent joke. That was very good. That was funny. Thank you. We got a little chuckle there. Okay, one more. A little crowd work. hey better than i could do man hey thank you better than my singing yeah that's interesting that was that was those first three were definitely interesting so five thousand dollars yeah well facebook just started paying me uh tens of dollars huh facebook just started paying me tens of dollars oh tens of dollars yeah okay so what is the overall plan for the household where are we sitting at today then because obviously you're not bringing in much say you bring in an extra 20 okay great so we're getting to you know i'm close to 80 what what are what are we doing right now how are we feeling what's going on uh well they've just increased our mortgage uh what by 400 property taxes uh property taxes and then insurance because of all of the storms and everything yeah so that hurts okay yeah no we're just is that the bills are getting paid right now so they're being yeah they're being paid but there's not a whole lot extra afterward and then i i think with uh we're the goal obviously was to pay off some debt but we have just why well i don't like debt that's my no why have we just as you said oh well so we we have gotten out we keep getting back taxes where uh i don't know if you guys know this but if you don't pay taxes they come find you who's not paying taxes both of us well are you not w2'd no i am he has just worked so many jobs we didn't file a couple of w2s and okay so it's you found them so it's not I filed more taxes though.
5:04It was collective. It was his W2s. Yeah, but it feels better if she's the one who filed. So you're the one that files? Not anymore because of that incident. Do we file jointly or separately? Joint. Okay. How? Is there responsibility on both sides in this relationship when it comes to finances? Absolutely not. She doesn't let me see him. I don't not let you see them. He just doesn't care. Why don't you care? I'm just a big spender and she says absolutely not. Don't spend that or spend it. Is that true? So you don't let him control any part of the money because he just goes and spends it? I just have to.
5:46I'm the only one who checks the bank account. He doesn't check the bank account. Why? Because if I check it, I'll be like, all right, I probably shouldn't go spend$50 on cigars today. Cigars? $50 on cigars? Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, let's just see. let's just see we're gonna jump into the finances but i want to see where you guys think you're both at okay as a household so this is a household i'm gonna go three two one go and on go i want you to give me what you think is the score at the same time of your household finances zero being the absolute worst it could be 10 being the absolute best it can be so three two one six wow interesting so we're kind of on the same page do we both feel like we know where the house is at i think so and we're trying to pay off debt but we're not paying off debt is kind of what you said but we're above like a solid solid like right down the middle five like okay solid yeah because we're above that yeah all right let's take a look at your debt all right discover it everyone gets to discover it card mine's pink i like to do just over the the minimum on what everything yeah was it just that no on everything okay like if my minimum is like yeah but also you completely ruin it though because on the discover it sure you had four thousand six hundred four dollars and the minimum payments close a little under 100 then you put 100 towards it so okay uh-huh cool but then you went and spent 20 so completely negated it you completely negated it and then interest of 67 67.59 even though you put 100 towards it the balance only went down by uh like 10 bucks yeah Maybe you get cash back.
7:28Yeah, but come on. With the$67.59 of interest, what f*** cash back is competing with that? In a single month,$67.59 of interest. Yeah, but if you look at it, you get cash back on every payment throughout the month. Eventually, you're going to get like... See the child of the relationship? He doesn't bring in any money, and he apparently spends it all anyway. Cash back? What the f***? Cash back is for people who never pay interest. For interest that's never accruing. What's the cash back on the Discover? It depends because sometimes they give you like 5%. Okay, 5%. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
8:09But on your balance, you're losing 18%.
8:17So net, you're losing like 12%. Yeah, they don't say, see right there? 5 % cash back? Yeah, you got 21%. You got 21 cents. Congratulations.
8:32When you say it like that, it doesn't sound so good, Caleb. Yeah. So why do we do it? Do you believe it? Well, I did. Until. Well, so like we just bought gas today and I put it on my Discover card, opposed to the bank account. Discover it. Correct. Okay. Why? Because I thought if I got the 5 % cash back, then I'm saving money. Okay. What do you think about this? I was literally going to put it on the bank card and he said, no, I'm going to put it on my credit card. Why? Headed here. Yeah. Which one? Who pushed to come on here? Me. That doesn't make. Then you know the show enough and you still put it on a credit card and you're sitting here talking about cash back with me.
9:11I'm very confused. Well, but because we're going to pay it off before it starts. You're not. But it was only$25. No, but that doesn't matter. The balance is literally only going down by$10 and it's sitting at$4 ,592. dollars but if you get that's getting accrued at 18 rounded but if you pay that 25 off before the next cycle you shouldn't get interest on that but your overall balance is huge and that's gaining interest so you not the money you're paying off is i guess in your mathematical way paying off the thing you just purchased instead of actually paying down the balance that's gaining interest so still it's being completely negated i feel like there's a loophole here that I'm missing.
9:55There isn't. There isn't. If at 5%, if I get 5 % back and I pay it off. You sound like Theo Vaughn. I get compared to Theo Vaughn all the time and I promise I did not beat Down Syndrome. He says that that was a bit of his. I don't know if you know Theo Vaughn. That's why I mentioned him. Yeah. Okay, good. But no, so at 5%, if I pay that back before, then I didn't have to use zero dollars right i made zero dollars if i just use my bank account i get what you're saying but because what you're doing is paying back that immediate purchase you're not paying down the overall balance instead and the balance is sitting in there thick and mighty but but i will i will still pay my hundred dollars like you said from the top so i'm not put extra this you didn't put extra on this statement no but but for for today why why is today special versus this one why is it different than this statement i see okay fair i see what you're saying but that was today in my thought process that is why because i figured if i got five percent back on this gas and then i still do my hundred dollars the cash back thing yeah because have we had conversations about this what what is happening what are the conversations around the credit cards the debt the purchases in this household well she tells me not to use the credit cards well you say he can use the credit cards i try to tell him no i'd rather not if we have the cash what if we have the cash i'd rather not put anything on the credit card that's not really putting your foot down saying i'd rather you not i try not to be controlling i don't want you to be controlling either but it's also just like communication having a conversation about it does just he clearly doesn't even now after this conversation he clearly doesn't seem to understand what's wrong with putting it on a credit card.
11:45So it's just like we're not community. What are... Well, so my credit used to be... What are her financial goals for you guys? I have no idea. There we go. That's huge. The fact that he doesn't even know what like a household... What do you have financial goals for your household? Kind of. I've told him before that if I had just a house payment, a car payment, I'd be content. It's really just the credit cards. Like I don't want debt elsewhere. Car payments still? what are his financial goals uh i don't know that he has any so you guys just don't talk about money no but this is a big part of a relationship that's why i said as long as the bill as long as the bills are paid yeah but the minimum bills you're losing money you're losing money but the cash back you're gaining money are you like actually like are you because you're a comedian or like no what is that because that's dumb i've already explained this multiple times but like that's dumb but if you get the if you're going to pay it i but you're not you're not paying off the balance but you're working toward the balance you ten dollars ten dollars net after putting a hundred dollars towards it ten dollars net if that's not bad oh my god see with me because he's a jokester that was happening or i feel like it's a little bit of 50 50 he kind of i do believe that there's cash i believe the cash back is he does legit say that though it's real it's real that's for people who are credit card people who can pay off the balances you need a card dude like the fizz card or any other charge card that forces you to pay it off at the end of each month and then you still reap the benefits yes that's what you need but so i started i think whenever i first got my my first credit card i had uh 612 credit score and now i'm up to like an 800 yes debt loves you debt loves you you're utilizing it the way they want to i mean the the credit line on here is 18 000 so like yes there's a big enough gap there but you're still getting completely the interest over across the entire statement you lost 248 dollars this month in interest alone across everything yeah cash back's not that well the car and credit cards that's not even including the mortgage but yeah the car and credit cards was 2 ,000?
14:05280. Oh, 280. Yeah. Okay. Which if you're on your own with that, would be a substantial amount because you don't make any money. Yeah, that is accurate. Running a YouTube channel like the one you're watching right now is a full-time job, especially when it comes to video creation. Content planning, making sure the lighting is right, ensuring good audio quality, endless hours of video editing, I could go on forever. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had an assistant that could take care of the entire production process in just a few minutes? Well, we can thanks to today's video sponsor, InVideo AI. You can forget about the endless editing timelines because now you can just create and edit videos in your own voice with a simple text prompt.
14:51Check this out. I typed in a prompt in InVideo AI to create a three-minute YouTube video about five different money-saving hacks. Then I just waited a couple minutes and InVideo AI created the first cut for me. Are you tired of seeing your hard-earned money disappear? Stop doing what doesn't work and start saving with these simple hacks. In under five minutes, it generated an engaging script, found high-quality relevant footage, added subtitles, and even a human-sounding voiceover. From there, you can just give it simple text commands to make any changes to your videos. Don't like the style of the subtitles?
15:24Ask it to change. Don't like the intro? Ask it to start the video differently. Finally, NVIDIA will understand your commands and make those changes. Are you tired of seeing your hard earned money disappear? Stop doing what doesn't work and start saving with these simple hacks. And guys, here's a super cool feature. You can upload a simple 30 second recording in your voice and it can clone your voice to make sure all of your videos contain your unique sound. If you're an animal lover like me, you understand that sometimes our hearts want more than our wallets can handle. today I'm going to share how you can buy multiple goats without breaking the bank.
15:58But if you wanted to clone your voice and create videos without a watermark, I highly recommend the paid plan that starts at just$20 a month. That's the plan I use. So go to the link in the description below and use my code to get twice the number of video generation credits in your first month. Trust me, NVIDIA will save you hundreds of dollars every month that you'd otherwise spend on editing tools and stock footage subscriptions. it's an absolute game changer you're okay with him not making money as long as he's working towards something like I said and as long as the bills are paid I like working towards something and your comedy was kind of interesting again I'm not like a judge I'm not a comic I'm not anything like that I can only go off of what my gut reacts to so and this is obviously a town to make it in but it's beyond competitive beyond competitive how long have you been trying I've been doing comedy for five years.
16:52Okay. And we've made$5 ,000. So are we getting an extra thousand dollars per year? Probably. Yeah. No, it's more than an extra a year. I think I'm on track to do closer to seven this year. Seven or eight probably. Have you ever done a bucket poll? Kill Tony. I sign up all the time, but I never get pulled. That'd be cool. I like to go to the show as much as I can. I'd love to see you up there. Thank you. That'd be cool. It'd be fun. Hopefully I would applaud. Yeah. One minute to be hard. I'm not really a booer. No. No. They love booers. Yeah. Especially, yeah. Okay, Etsy. That's what we spent money on since they're on Etsy?
17:38Yeah, probably. On the Discover it, $20.56 on Etsy? What the f*** did they get on Etsy? That was a surprise for me that she bought. But see, that was her. That was me. Yeah. So what are you doing? You're supposed to be the responsible one. That's not funny. I think it was my card connected to my PayPal. So I just went ahead and purchased it rather than going and getting my bank card. Because I ordered it through PayPal. I had no cash back. What's your obsession? See, you've fallen for the trap. You've fallen for the trap. Okay. Now the classic... Wait. We have two discoverers. Yeah. Yeah, so that was probably hers.
18:15This one's mine. The pink one is his. Yeah, see, now you'll start to see... Are you authorized users then? uh no oh i asked if at the beginning oh okay sorry that's the bank the bank account yeah all of my credit cards are mine yeah and then hers are hers that is my only card or no i have two cards in there actually so you're the one with the balance of almost 5 000 bucks and you don't and you're spending on it and you're supposed to be the good one that's how this was set up that's not funny what are we like what are we laughing what are we laughing why are we laughing People think it's so cute to be bad with money or something.
18:48What is happening? I only spent$20. Do we have to go through this again? Just like the gas thing? I know I have the. Net. Net. Yes. Only$10 went towards paying off the card even though you gave it$100. That actually got refunded too because they messed up my order. Okay. Still, even with your spending. Yes, it's hilarious. Is this cute? What are we doing? Why are we all laughing? I'm embarrassed. She does get embarrassed easily. So I'm laughing because I'm embarrassed. Okay. Okay, fair enough. So you're Discover It. Yes. Now I have no idea what has gone on that, probably. So you guys don't even know what's happening on each other's?
19:27No. Credit cards? No, probably not. You guys need to just sit down and talk about it. We're going to send you through our budgeting educational system. You need to go through that together. Literally go through it together. Spend the three to four hours it takes after quizzes and everything. Go through that together. Seriously, please. I need you to. you guys need to start having conversations at a minimum about what the f*** is going on financially in the household. A couple years ago we sat down and we actually were like, okay, we spend this much on this, this much on this. But that was, I think, like 2020 and we have not looked back.
20:00You know, the last time a comedian came on here and then ended up going on Kill Tony, he got obliterated. Really? Like his set flopped beyond hard. Wow. Thanks for putting that on me. Yeah. again it's not something i could do but i'm also not signing up to do it again you're the good one apparently and he's the bad one in the finances but his balance is half the size of yours 2191 dollars to 77 cents with a 63 dollar minimum payment you're right you did put way more than the minimum on yours okay yeah so i didn't know which one you were i didn't realize i was but you still went and spent 400 then so i'm still confused because 42 dollars of interest is accruing on this so why are we spending money on a card that is having interest accruing why not to get it to zero then do the purchases you're gonna do then pay them off every time why would we do purchases on a card that already has a balance that you can't fully pay off yeah so that went literally the reason so uh you should be is it the walmart is that the purchase that you're talking about let's see because there should be uh walmart's one of them sir it was a big one but then there's also comedy club and uh going in a gas station getting some going in a gas station getting some bulls uh spare time is that a gas station no that's a bowling alley yeah bowling alley great and then a restaurant the gin so no not just walmart five bull purchases on a card that we can't pay off well so the big one at walmart was i lost my headphones i was actually on my way back from michigan doing a show and left my headphones on the airplane so i had to go buy more airpods but i put it on my credit card i'm an avid runner and i congratulations get a pair of headphones that go over your ears that plug into your phone that's yeah you don't have money you make no money that's fair but the reason i put it on the credit card was so that way i could get the cash back oh you're gonna murder me you i don't think i can get through to him on this cash back thing i really don't what did i save what did i save on those headphones by using cash back but you're not though because in the end remember you went to throw that thousand dollars at this overall bounce which would have taken it down further if you didn't put the airpods on here so in the end the balance remains higher and is getting attacked with a 22.24 % interest rate, which is well above whatever cash back you got, not even close to comparable, you're losing.
22:29But did I pay that one off? You're literally making like a dollar off of losing$100. I believe I paid that one off instantly though. No, the purchase? Uh-huh. But the money you were throwing towards it, because you put money on it, the money you throw towards it decreases the overall balance less because you got such a big item on it. And that large amount of interest is accruing on that balance.
22:59A whiteboard, please. Yes. Oh. You're losing me here. This is no special little whiteboard and I'm going to steal it.
23:12How do I want to visualize this? How do I want to visualize this? Oh my gosh. Dildo marker. Well, that makes sense
23:27Okay Go with me here because I'm trying to think of how to visualize this Okay Here is the big scary debt Okay Let's say this is a
23:45$2 ,000 debt Okay You have an extra$1 ,000 to throw at it. Yep. Okay. But this whole$2 ,000 is accruing interest, right? Okay. Let's say at 22%. Yeah. You have a gorgeous, gorgeous$1 ,000 you can throw towards it. It's incredible. $1 ,000. And you can throw it right at this to cut it in half. but uh-oh we went and spent 250 which would be about this much 250 right so now when you cut this 1 000 in half it's no longer in half anymore because you still added more to the pile well yeah of course okay i say yes i see that this is still accruing interest because less in the end was paid off because you're adding a balance to the stupid thing right but so if i would have just taken the the 250 and bought the headphones outright that still would not have gone on there yes you couldn't afford the headphones you couldn't have afford you just couldn't afford them and if you're gonna put it somewhere don't put it at least on the card even if that means you have$750 less on here just your behavior your behavior of thinking you should be putting things on cards is bad you need to address your behavior so you're saying if you have the cash to just pay for things in cash and just leave the card alone let me cap this thing up before it gets someone pregnant thank you sir nope what do we think about that so if you're if i have the cash to buy the headphones now.
25:28I should have just left the card alone and just put the remainder of that thousand, which would have been, what, roughly$750? I have another graph for you. Okay. I'll visualize this. Because we like to be helpful. Yeah. The red is the cash back rewards you are receiving. Okay. The blue is the interest that is hitting you. Let's see what the reward versus the consequences are. Okay. You can see how they compare. is that red really improving your life and what is this on putting it on screen across your credit cards all credit cards right both discover credit cards both discover three thousand dollars for two days i was broke and you just held on i still the loan money and spent it instead of correct because obviously if you drop out of classes within those two days you you know you don't have to pay for those credits typically so you're in that refund amount of time yes but we used it and we just spent it on what so i live i was in florida and she was in indiana and i used that to move to indiana borrowed money man and student loans okay what do you think about that uh i mean i'm glad that he was able to move up yeah well also what were you bringing how did it cost i'm just confused i i know he lived on it too after he okay well that makes sense because i only associate uh you know like yes we can bring in uh statistics from other people but i'm if i'm just thinking about myself when i got my job done in austin texas five and a half years ago and i went from michigan i paid a security deposit down on something gas money and stopping for food on the way other than that i literally just like threw away or gave away or even tried to sell but that was harder because it was like a one-week turnaround like two-thirds of my stuff packed up everything else in a sedan and just drove down like yeah that's really three thousand dollars that's just yeah that's what i did but then i lived on that until i got to go until why'd you say it was because of moving then well because it was yes what do you mean because i did so i was working at a shop in florida and you could have gotten some mcfry job you could have that's what yeah i did yeah he did after the money was gone after the money was gone so you wanted to go through the well no because i had a business idea that i so i you have a business idea what's your business so i bought a couple motorcycles and i was gonna resell them oh me but i ended up selling them to somebody who uh was a close friend who took advantage of the situation sounds like a great friend turned out to be not such a good friend uh so obviously i lost all of that money and then that's when i got a job you want to be told that that's a stupid business to get into apply to be on the show calebhammer.com slash apply because that's a stupid decision either way for someone in your position at that time you borrowed$3 ,000 to live I don't think we're taking on the risk of starting that type of business but I thought that if you flip this motorcycle and I could have made a couple thousand which was the goal I don't think your goal was to lose money I'm not saying that but that is what happened I know that's what happened Okay, so how long did you try that?
28:59And then you went and got the McFry Duncan job? I think that was about, yeah, about three months. Three months? You allowed her to do this for three months? Well, she broke up with me and I was living in my truck at that point. Probably deserved.
29:15I can say that because you guys are together. I mean, aren't you married? Yeah. Okay, cool. And we got back together after he had this job. Yeah. Yeah, because he had a... i mean he's kind of it seems like he's kind of in this uh cycle of uh trust me i'm talking about him for a second but you're not good with your finances we've gotten this but let's just talk about jobs and stuff like that seems like maybe some aspirations yes but just kind of fumbles around and tumbles around trying to shoot for the stars without really bringing in money ever i mean yeah kind of like because he's definitely job hopped but it's like that's what as long as he's making something and but there's it's more than that though because just making something isn't necessarily gonna get the household to the goals now we don't have household goals which i think is the main issue because without goals we're kind of aimless we don't know what we're shooting for so you don't know what to do to even get there i guess if we have no goals if we have no retirement goals or what we want to do when retirement if we don't want to you know travel all this stuff if you want to be able to spend more time doing a comedy without having to worry about the debts over your head and paying for rent and all whatever you know is going on mortgage um saving up for a down payment you know having kids stuff like that if we don't have the goals then just around works yeah but that won't work in life in the end yeah yeah i've always been the kind of guy that you know if you look at any of the uh your your a list people they always say don't ever have a plan b so i've just i've tried to live my life by saying as long as things are paid for as long as the the we have a roof over our head that's all that matters just put as put in as much time for your we get nowhere from that though what's your what's your retirement plan both of you as a household what are we doing i don't have any we're the same age so i don't know if i can rely on social security by the time i retire yeah i mean they keep having to push back retirement age because you know it's not managed very well so yeah i have not thought about it she has a retirement i don't know how much i don't know i don't know what i've put into it i've been working at my same job for six years why haven't you looked i don't know how i don't know you don't know what company it's with i don't have any idea oh okay what's your percentage contribution i'm gonna my rest okay not a clue i had uh when i worked at a mattress store i had retirement but then whenever uh i quit working there i pulled it out that's another thing with the the the no goals this is like oh it doesn't even matter to have retirement at that point may as well just tap into it if we're not trying to get somewhere so okay and you're not paying on your student are you in a weird payment i kind of screwed myself i uh just last year i tried to go back to school and so i what uh business administration i mean that's great yeah and but it ended up being way too much so you're not making bad money no unless you know you just wanted a different career path which is totally okay and that's kind of yeah so you're in a little bit of deferment until how long until when uh i just got a notification that they're actually supposed to start again in august so your minimum monthly payment's probably gonna be like 150 bucks oh gosh i didn't know it'd be that much but probably i mean unless you're able to get on like uh you know there's different repayment plans you can get on yeah but even still with those like interest can accrue more and then if you're looking for any kind of forgiveness you know depends on job depends on life situation depends on the repayment plan but even still once you get to the point of forgiveness it also kind of depends on administration who's overseeing the department of education you know there's a lot of risk involved public student loan forgiveness that one is pretty darn good uh the statistics are screwed on it a bit where like almost no one makes it but that's because yeah a lot of the people who apply for it don't qualify for it already like legitimately so like excuse the statistic but typically as long as you're actually sticking in the job that qualifies for that and you just don't fuck up along the way you can get it forgiven but um but that's not even your situation anyway so i think it's gonna be like 150 bucks starting next month you said august so in a couple months yeah your student loans are 3 000 what's up with the payment on that uh 50 bucks a month i think it's down to which with covid we haven't been paying on them though yeah just restarted yeah i think last october yep yep well that's fine yeah um so 3 000 i think it's down to like 23 or 25 yeah 25 or something in there and then the mortgage what i love about this is the 2.75 % rate.
33:48So when did we get this house? 2021. Yeah.
33:53Yeah, that was a fun experience. And we're happy? Got our house? Yeah, we're happy with the house. It was just, we did it, we bought it sight unseen. What? Yeah. That's a f***ing choice. Yeah, kind of, but our realtor didn't even do like a final walk through. Yeah. fire the realtor. What are you doing? You signed on a home and a mortgage without a final walkthrough? We didn't know that she didn't do the final walkthrough for us until we were signing the papers. She didn't even show up to our closing. Who the f*** are you guys using? Yeah. That was rough. But the house is nice. It's a really nice house.
34:37Well, what's the issue then? We live in the ghetto. Was city clean? Clean has a bad part? I've never been to Colleen. It is the bad part. Oh, Colleen's bad. Isn't it just a military base? Yeah, the worst one in the country. The worst military base in the country? Yes. It's like there's a lot of murders. I've never heard that. We've had quite a few Colleeners. There's documentaries on Colleen. Vanessa Gillen. People going missing. I was just at work the other day, and she's like, yeah, another double homicide. And it was like a - 1.5 miles away from our house. Man, okay. Wait, so did you at least research the neighborhood?
35:18Yeah, the neighborhood looks nice. The neighborhood is nice. It's more so that, yes, it's the town as a whole that is not the best. So you don't like living in Killeen. Why are you in Killeen? It was affordable. We tried to move to Texas for comedy. Somewhere close to Austin, yeah. Yeah, and that's just where we could afford. What's the, well, I guess$161 ,000. Yeah, that's definitely difficult even in the far reaches of Austin. And I just didn't want to rent anymore. i was tired of renting i love the rate um honestly i personally love this purchase as long as it's in a place you like yeah well and it was uh it has its perks and it has its downfall are you guys gonna have kids and you want to raise kids there and all that that's where it kind of you're like i don't know so what's the plan with this because i mean the texas market in general has been in a little bit of a dip don't know specifically about that area yeah you know i mean probably when no one ever really knows i mean you still probably need to hold a home for at least like five years is the typical you know you know least break even hopefully yeah after all the fees and everything yeah which we're in good shape right now like we get a quote a monthly quote on what the value is what is the value like 230 240 now yeah somewhere right in there okay it's yeah so i think they say 161 119 dollars in the monthly payment with everything include is 1 ,523.

42:11Good. Now I can relate. You really do sound like Theo. It's interesting. Well, I think he grew up probably making less than$15 ,000 a year, too. Probably. Yeah. And then he was the low percentage that made it, and I love it. And I would love you to make it again, but I just go off of odds. and the fact that really, I mean, you guys just have to define your goals. It's like if your goals aren't defined, you've got to figure out what you've got to do to get to your goals. Right now you don't have goals, so we don't know if what's going on is okay or not. Right, and that makes sense. Well, we're certainly not making any progress on debt.
42:42We have barely anyone in our checking account. Our emergency fund is non-existent. You don't know how much is in retirement. You do not have anything in retirement, so everything's a joke. Okay, a group exercise. And here's the base of the chart. you're going to draw two box charts in whatever thing way you want so what you're going to do this is grocery spending okay going to grocery store spending which is a very interesting thing we haven't talked about yet because i wanted you to figure out you know what we're doing so let's say you draw the average i don't know what the average is but let's say the average This is a big thing of average for the average household in the United States grocery shopping.
43:29And let's say it's, let's just go crazy numbers. I'm not giving you any hints. $10 ,000. Okay. So this is a$10 ,000 chart. And let's say you spend$5 ,000. So you would draw your chart halfway through and you would do$5 ,000. This is for a month. Okay. A month of the American average, American household average, and your average. For groceries? For grocery store shopping. Grocery average. national yours you want me to draw it i want you guys to group think on this and like put your brains together for the first time ever okay and like actually decide where's the national average i want you to also give me the number in the bar chart so decide where you think you guys are at and where the national average is at and make sure it's proportional i will give you time okay work i would say weekly and you can tell me if you disagree but weekly i think people probably spend somewhere in the ballpark of $3 to$3.50 on groceries.
44:25I disagree. Okay, what do you think? I know that your brother and Lauren spend$100 for their household of like six people. $100 a week? I think so. Okay. So I'd say for a month, $500 is the average for a household. Okay, I can see that. So we'll just, we'll go. I'll let you write it. There you go. $500. And then we, on average, spend roughly... $100 to$150 a week. So that's going to be, what, somewhere in the ballpark of$500? Probably. So we should be right on par? Probably. But we're only two people. Well.
45:16My box was bigger. he also didn't draw it in the right color but that's okay oh yeah i just thought it needed to be red you want me to go over it that's fine you're good so to be clear you guys think the national average for the household is 500 yep and you think you are the average household and you spend 500 yep okay close to the national national average 475 and 25 cents okay for that month you guys this was a little higher because you told us walmart was grocery shopping but you know we've just found out the airpods from there so we subtracted that okay we subtracted that so uh but even still you spend likely 750 a month which is going to be up to this new line which i crossed out what was like with the AirPods.
46:09Gotcha. So you guys spell, and you don't have kids. No. You don't have any dependents as far as I know, right? Right. This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers. We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew. I got to sit in the driver's seat. I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age. That's Andrew, a real United pilot. These small interactions can shape a kid's future. It felt like I was the captain. Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.
46:44That's how good leads the way. You guys spend probably an extra$250,$300 more than the average household in America. So that's who you guys are compared to the average, but... Let's figure out your financial potential plans to get out of here. Let's create a budget. Is there anything else? Is there anything else I'm missing here? so i you keep saying goals i want to my plan is to i want to buy another muscle car i have their muscle car so i've got a 76 firebird okay that i'm restoring oh what is this sit in the garage for 30 years it's been there three years that's how it usually goes okay but i've been working on it but so you screw a bolt once every two months well i'm cutting metal it's it's taken Which one have you put into that car?
47:37I bought it originally for$850. I've sold some things off of it, got it down to$500, but then I bought$3 ,500 in new parts. And it's not doing anything, and you're not paying off debt, and you have nothing in retirement. We're putting it into a Firebird. Cool. And you want to get a new one, even though you haven't done anything with your old. You've done stuff, but you're not driving it. Is it drivable? No. Okay, great. So we should probably get a new one, right? So what's this new one? so that is so i can drive it while i work on this project what but that's do you how do you guys you have to is the is the is the mercedes the only drivable car at the house no no we have a lot of vehicles what the how many cars do we have we have three cars oh no three drivable cars a motorcycle and a firebird in the garage.
48:32The f*** are you guys? Guys, you have so much debt. You could take care of this today. I'm just a very sentimental person. Congratulations. I don't give a s***. I'm sentimental about your debt getting gone. So f*** get it gone. But you don't know the cars we have. I don't give a s***. 06 Impala. Oh, thrilling. But it's worth no money. So I can't sell it. Grab it and throw that few hundred dollars towards your debt. Yeah, it would literally be a few hundred dollars. Yes, and throw it towards your debt. Like, why waste space? Because that's what I drive to work every day. So it keeps... That was my car that we were going to get rid of for the Mercedes.
49:04It gets the best gas mileage. It's not worthless if you're driving it every day. He is driving it every day. Yeah, I drive it every day. If it's drivable somewhere, it's not completely worthless. Right, yeah, no. And that's why I... You might not get anything crazy, but... Yeah, and that's why I don't want to get rid of it. Okay, and the third drivable car? So then I've got an 85 Dodge pickup. Cool. And that one is whenever we need to, you know, pick up things with a truck. So I have that. Yeah, a comedian and someone who works in an office. Well, I work with my hands a lot. Cool. Carry **** then.
49:33I don't know. What are you talking about? You have debt. The truck also is not worth anything. No. Is it drivable? Barely. It's worth something. If your reason for keeping it is because you use it once a year to carry **** groceries or something, then it's sellable. You might not get anything, but your debt also isn't absolutely insane. It can literally make progress finally. that's just what's so hard because i've had this truck that often use it uh oh there we go thank you thank you because i knew you wouldn't answer it correctly thank you how often does he actually use it i would say once if to actually drive once every two to three months he might take it out once a month to make sure it's driving you will rent a u-haul if you need to for 50 bucks it's just the sentimental value i don't give a shit about no sentiment and no value the value to it can go towards your debt what's the sentimental value so uh whenever i was a little kid my dad died when i was seven and he had the same pickup truck so i bought this pickup truck is it the pickup truck it's not the same one but i've had this one for 10 years and that's what i moved back to indiana with and i've traveled the country many a times with this so that's what i lived in when we broke up dude i practically burned the car i drove the country with when i moved down here because it's a piece of metal listen i would get it of the sentimental value a little bit more if it was literally what someone else owned maybe i'm coming across like a maybe i just have no empathy in this situation just pay off your f*** that dude it's not the car that someone else owned you drove the country it's a piece of metal get another one when you're in the position to get it and it has the same sentimental value as this one because this one didn't belong to anyone else anyway that has sentimental value okay i hear you okay and the motorcycle yeah so yeah the motorcycle that was whenever we left la uh everybody got you're in la okay yeah that's where i started comedy and we went back to indiana where we're from and everybody got you sound like that from indiana well i then i grew up in florida so i i sound like every like i'm from all over the place like bayou florida no like surfing florida like coco beach that's not surfing accent no it's this is uh east coast mixed with uh hillbilly indiana yeah yeah so it meshes in there so wrangle some gators yeah well that's the indiana and then yeah but so i love the southern state indiana yeah no we're just stupid in indiana there's a thanks well he's you're from michigan yeah i will be honest i don't think anyone looked up to indiana i'll be honest what do you mean i want to look up to indiana yeah in the midwest yeah a little bit aren't in the top top 10 population states larry bird like illinois michigan and ohio is don't really produce much economic value for the midwest megalopolis uh indianapolis is the major city there and doesn't really add into the overall united states metro population areas well we've got a major contributor we've got racing we've got sports is exciting yeah people take left turns there yeah we've got corn oh i think that's all throughout amphetamine that is true they sell a lot there big contributor to the gdp on that one yeah so i think we do have a couple things that we export no i'm just i'm just hating for no reason i don't i mean i don't personally care one of my producers went to school in indiana basically on the border of michigan so okay yeah but it's still in indiana technically in indiana i drive through indiana to get to a better state yeah sometimes sometimes when i want to go to chicago yeah chicago's okay yeah you gotta drive past world-renowned everyone's favorite city in the country gary yeah gary's it's cleaning up gary's cleaning up okay we're not murder capital of the world anymore yeah what is thatst louis okay i think it is okay yeah so back to the motorcycle so whenever we went back everybody got covid money and you know most people went and bought like flat screens and stuff like that so great use of taxpayer money okay i bought uh i bought a motorcycle instead another great use of taxpayer money how is it how much is it worth uh i bought it for 12 000 i had 500 uh so i got a loan for 11 5 wait is the loan gone yeah yeah what's it worth uh i believe it's somewhere in the ballpark of 10 000 that's awesome sell it yeah so it's it's it's in perfect condition great sell it i ride it good sell it
54:12i feel like that would be more than the debt right how much debt do we have no no we still have a house and another car regardless of the house i mean the mercedes alone is worth 14 000 her student loans are 11 000 combine both the credit cards together and it's basically 7 ,000. So, sell it. You'll get your little fun little motorcycle when you're in the position to afford it. You're not. Easy as that. Be a man. First time. But then, how am I going to be a man with no motorcycle to ride? I think in Texas, it's more of like a Dodge Ram type of man. You told me to sell my Dodge Ram. Which, yeah, you would lose your Texas manhood.
54:54I'm sorry, buds. yeah now i feel like i'm just losing it all yep and then you'll get it back eventually i have pawn stuff okay cool sell the cars yeah okay oh we gotta get you more money yeah i mean i can give people tech certifications through course crews which i love it just it doesn't make sense for you because you're just i don't think you do you want to work in tech i don't think so i that's a tech town yeah i don't even know i can barely check an email okay it's great for most people but i guess not for you uh okay minimum debt payments not including the mortgage oh also don't get that other debt for the the new car well the the goal is that i don't give a i don't give a been talking about goals all day yeah but this one's a stupid one i already know no this is a good goal because so the card that i'm looking at is only 7 500 so the goal is if If we can get paid down somewhere close to that, then we just - Pay what down somewhere close to that?
55:58Down to, if we can get$7 ,500 paid down. Paid down? On your debt? Yeah. How? Oh, it might be a minute. So, yeah, by your math, that's three and a half years. But so if I can do that and then I can - Three and a half years? Yeah. So then I can go out and I can buy another - You're willing to be okay with that? Your debt taking that long, even though your debt's not that crazy? Well, no, I want it to get better, but I'm saying - Are kids in the picture? not right now ever eventually maybe okay you wouldn't want to bring them into this and you're considering willing to pay off a thousand dollars every year for three and a half years to take away seven and a half thousand so you can get another motorcycle car oh yeah another car another car that's gonna do nothing but with classic cars to be fair the value does go up every year if you like do right yeah and that's that's the goal yeah how'd that other one go for we're working on it for three years well yeah these things generally a lot of people they invest 10 15 years into them okay okay okay so you get it for 7 500 right okay tell me what that's worth in three years and then uh honestly if things keep going about three years ago i was looking no no no three years ago that's a completely different car market not even close that's a car market that no one's ever seen and no one will ever see again of course but we don't know what three years from now it's going to look like you think there's going to be a major global pandemic and we didn't learn anything from the last one no it's not going to be the same repeat over and over but the trajectory since that obviously there was a big spike but the trajectory is staying the same okay fine percentage increase each year so that i have no idea all i know is just enough what would it go to from 7 500 over the course of five years over the course of five years what would it be worth?
57:45In five years, I say it would probably be worth$15 ,000. No. It doesn't double. Putting work into it? Absolutely. Oh, well, how much do you spend? How much do you put into it? Maybe another thousand or two. Attention all business owners.

You're gonna do what you're gonna do. feels a little pointless $1 ,523.90 for rent and mortgage utilities gas water electric utilities it's all electric and it varies between summer and winter but with electric this summer probably $150 is what we've been paying internet $80 gas between you two driving gas oh I do $200 a month probably probably somewhere in that ballpark Really?
1:00:05Is that cheap? Yeah. From Colleen? She works from home. But you drive down to Austin a lot, yeah? Once a week, maybe. Yeah. And it's only$200? Yeah, it's really not that bad. Car insurances for both? Well, for across all these cars? $280. Yeah, somewhere in that ballpark. It's not the worst for all that. $100,$150, TP fund. Anything else you guys need to survive? $150.

Saves you money there. Okay. Anything else you guys need to survive? Medical? Anything there? I am paying$25 a month on a medical bill, but it's only$25. What's the balance of that? $3 ,000. So it's another debt? Okay. Anything else?
1:01:20Medical? Monthly basis? Gym? Anything? No, we don't have a gym membership. Then we pay... Subscription. Like Hulu. Nope. No, you don't. You absolutely do not. That is not included in your minimum to survive budget. Not even close. Okay, what you guys need to survive is$3 ,613.90 on a monthly basis. What came in was... It was a good month for comedy, it looks like. Yeah. But that's not normal. No. Okay. So what likely normally comes in, I'm seeing probably... guessing about 4 500 total across the board i'd say that's probably about right yeah yeah if you sold your motorcycle if you sold let's say a beater for a thousand five hundred and then you drove the two two other cars okay now let's keep your little passion project in the garage that you can work on but we're not getting the new one new passion project but we're not also putting money into the passion project for now until we're out of debt then you can do it until you have a fully funded emergency fund until you start investing man the fact that you're not even investing like if you can get out of this debt maybe i'll fund your like i use this investing platform called moomoo i like it i would fund your like starting account as just a reward for getting out of this but i mean you have to actually make sacrifices so okay let's say 10 000 for the motorcycle and 1500 for the other one cool let's just use that and let's with that wipe out almost all the mercedes let's say 3 000 hours is left on the mercedes after that because well actually no let's not do it that way that's stupid let's destroy both credit card debts and the medical okay now we have the mercedes mercedes with the extra six hundred dollars you got uh sorry nine hundred dollars you guys have left on our monthly basis which is actually pretty darn good and it's the reason why i'm upset that you're willing to just okay actually we're setting three thousand hours aside from the sale of the car for an emergency fund because you guys don't have savings throw that in the savings you do have and then you have like a one month emergency fund then we have the medical debt is now back on the table again okay okay but we're still going for the mercedes with your extra 900 a month thousand dollars a month now because we paid off the two credit cards takes a year and two months not bad mercedes seven percent debt is gone student loans none of them are really high interest on either of them i'd minimum monthly payment them all until they're all paid off okay then with the student loans or the medical debt you're able to pay that off in about two and a half months and then get a fully funded emergency fund which at that point without the minimum monthly debt payments is going to be 18 000 you already have 3 000 in there you have like an extra 1 400 left on a monthly basis at that point takes 10 months you have a fully funded emergency fund i say this takes yeah two years and a quarter two years and a quarter guys and you're debt free and you have a fully funded emergency fund except for your student loans but that's okay at that point you just start throwing 20 to retirement across the household in general and then actually i think you guys will actually end up somewhere really healthy and happy and good and of course we're not paying off the mortgage either this is right i don't want to pay until that's paid off yep um guys i think you're actually in a i think you actually have a way out of this you gotta sell those things I promise dude in five years you can get them again you can get nicer versions okay and then we're catching up on retirement we're starting that getting a fully funded emergency fund but that's where I would go okay you're spending in a budget total that went out was $7 ,376 I mean you're overspending so zero there it's not even close to the worst it's a three it's a three certainly not good don't get me wrong so that's why it's still low but it's three merchants fund barely started so one retirement you have a little but i don't know what it is so i can't do anything but one real estate low cost uh fha was a little rough so we have now we're paying mortgage insurance but our equity position in the house is okay with the growth that we've had mortgage rates fantastic you don't like the area i'm gonna give it a six
