1:16Link in the description and pinned comment below. hi my name's Jeanette I'm 26 years old I'm from Cape Coral Florida and this is financial audit I'm a dumb bitch and can't stop buying stupid I don't need lol that was her opening line in her application to be on the show a self-described dumb you got it okay so you know what's interesting and we talk about this in a lot of episodes and i think i can naturally bring it up here if i go out and about let's just say you know i'm trying to think of an analogy right now i'm trying to think of an example i go out and about and i realize i'm wearing a pair of shoes and every time i wear this pair of shoes i get uh you know uh what are those little bumps called blisters well a blister and it hurts and it's every every time every single time typically what i do is i figure out maybe i shouldn't wear those shoes because i realized this your application is self-defining you know you're the dumb who can't control her spending why aren't you wearing a different pair of shoes like i feel like this shouldn't even be a conversation we need to have i don't mean to come in intense but like i mean that's pretty basic if i want to change something and i know that i can know things are wrong right but maybe i don't have that extra incentive to change it i know what i eat is necessarily wrong you know sometimes when i you know have some bad food but it's not like the most life-impacting thing for me so i don't really care so i don't change that but if there is something i care about i do what is necessary to change it.
3:01This would suggest if you are on this show and you are self-realizing what is bad, you actually do not want to change it. But I also love dump. I love Amazon. Okay, Basis doesn't know you exist. So, I don't... Okay, what... What on Amazon? What is worth it? It's all overnight. Stuff that I can't get at Walmart. Like, dog treats and like... Dog treats overnight? Dog treats? Why don't you just go to fucking Petco? Go to Petco real quick. Because it's easier for Amazon. It's overnight. It comes at four in the morning. I wake up and it's there. Yeah, but you'd have pet code that evening. Okay, it doesn't even matter anyway.
3:38Either way, it would be shopping. I mean, if it's just dog treats every once in a while, that's not the craziest thing in the world. I buy dog treats like every day. I don't know. I mean, I know. How many dogs do you have? Well, I have my dog and I also take care of puppies. And then my diet has three dogs. Is that your job? It's like my side. Wait, what do you do for a living? That's my usual first question. So I handle accounts receivable for an engineering firm. What do you make? $22 an hour. What's the scoff? I literally can't believe people show up for$22 an hour. Do you show up for$22 an hour?
4:14Yeah, but I don't want to. But you do. Why are you calling out other people? You do. Right. It's just not... How many hours a week do you work when you show up that you can't believe people do? I'm supposed to be there for 40 hours. I usually swing about 35. But I usually swing about 35 if it's supposed to be 40. Because I'm doing like my dog stuff on the side. I have clients. Oh, do you get paid for that? Yeah. Okay, if you get paid for that, then I mean, it's fine. But$22 an hour, you're saying, I can't believe people show up. Why the do you have that job then? I guess because it's hard to find something more than that.
4:51I mean, if you don't have skills or resume capabilities or interview techniques, yeah. Well, I'm actively looking for more than$22 an hour. Well, I'm glad you look at the jobs. I'm actively applying for jobs. With a good resume, with good interview skills that have been practiced? I would say good interview skills. I mean,$26, okay. I would believe you would have some job experience with that. Yeah. So what's the issue? How long have we been looking? Since I got hired at this job, so maybe like seven months. You've been looking for seven months? Yes. What are you looking for if$22 an hour isn't acceptable to you?
5:29What hits your account on a monthly basis from this job? Maybe like three-ish,$3 ,200. Why aren't you surviving? Because everything's expensive. I've got my dogs. Yeah, maybe don't buy the expensive things. Yeah. That's what the rest of us do if we can't afford something. That makes sense, for sure. But quality. I like quality stuff. Uh-huh. Like. The word you just used was like. Quality. Yeah, but you said you like it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, okay, that's not a necessity. If it's not a necessity, what? It makes you comfy, though. Don't you like being comfy? Right? Expensive stuff's comfy. And quality can last longer.
6:21What are you doing? You're smirking. I'm trying to convince you that it's not necessarily that bad. Why the f*** are you on this show then? I'm literally a dumb f***. Did you hear what you just said in the last 30 seconds? That I like dumb all of this shit. I mean, you're correct that you're a dumb f*** if what you just said in the last 30 seconds is what you believe, and then you just said you want to get out of this and want to change. Beyond. Beyond conflicting statements. You sit there Guys getting expensive stuff is so cute So cutesy I really want to change What the f*** are you talking about?
6:56Why can't I have both? Math True But what if we do the math so I can have some knife And then cut out So why haven't you budgeted that then? I'm trying I don't know I've cut out like a lot of stuff What the f*** is your personality? What the f*** is that? What? Oh my gosh I've okay I've only met a couple people like you oh my god this is what kills me is like I'm like seeing their personality for the first time in my life where you like that goofball you have that goofball energy take it serious yes see I'm taking it very seriously I do have a lot of debt and I do need to get out of it I also need to stop buying dumb then why don't you because it's easy to buy dumb I understand it's easy why are we not putting in mechanisms why are we not putting in coping skills?
7:44Why are we not putting in a budget? Why are we not putting in an effort? I know it is easy. I know it is easy. We got that. We've established. Why aren't you doing anything to prevent you or just because something is easy doesn't mean you do it. It's easy to go jump off the roof if you want to. Doesn't mean you can do. So why aren't you doing anything to counteract it if you actually want to change? The most real answer is that I'm a dumb bitch. That's not going to get me very far, and I need to stop being a dumbass. For sure. Oh my gosh. Do you have a real answer? Like, why you haven't done anything?
8:18What have you tried to do, and it hasn't worked? I've locked some of my credit cards so I can't spend them. Like, my Apple card. And I switched my T-Mobile to, like, Mint Mobile. So that saves me a bunch of money. Bunch of money? That's a step, right? I feel like I'm moving slowly in the correct direction. Which is why we spent double what you made last month. That's slowly in the right direction. slowly slowly oh there she is she's trying to be cute guys so f***ing cool you're looking good and you're looking great on camera right now everyone's really appreciating your cutesy little attitude okay so f*** you this isn't slowly moving in the right direction unless you're spending four times three times your income now you're spending two times and we're like yay no you don't get a high five for that What are you doing?
9:13$3 ,266 came in, and that adds up with what you said. That was through payroll. And then we had cash at$330. Was that the dog stuff? Yes. Okay. So$3 ,600. Okay. Not horrible, but you could be making more if you went in. Actually, I'm confused. Okay. Did you have a job before this? before this job that you look down upon? Yes. So what is your work experience? What can we turn into an effective resume? Okay. So from the time that I was 19 to 25, I was a contract coordinator for a real estate investment company. And I worked there for seven years. And I was making so much money there. I was making$35 an hour.
10:02Why did you change? I got fired. Why? Honestly. Oh, here comes when someone says honestly and then they don't say the honest thing. Yeah, go for it. Honestly, I think it was some petty sh**. There it is. What? I mean, the boss was kind of like an old, groomy, weird man, and there was only two... I don't know what that means in that context. Is it internet grooming where they never used the word correct, or is it he didn't take care of his facial hair? No, like childhood grooming. Internet grooming where they never used the word correct. Sure. Okay. Okay. Yes. He was a creepy weird man. Did he literally separate people from their entire support system from an underage way in order to take them away from their support system once they turned of age and then slept with them but they could never leave because they no longer have a support system?
10:57Did he literally groom them? Or were we just using that word because he was a little weird? It was a little bit less than how you described it. Okay, so let's not use words we don't mean. This isn't Twitter. Words have real world consequences. Stop being a sensationalist. Gotcha. He was a weird man. A weird four year old man. There you go. A real. Okay. So he was weird. Yeah. I believe this started with you got fired from a job. Yes. So why are we talking about a weird man? Because he was my boss. He was the owner of the company. He was weird and he was mean and he was psychotic. Go on. Now we're using more buzzwords real quick.
11:37Let's, let's, what was he actually? What was he actually? What did he do that would define those things? He would come in and scream at everyone. Scream why? What was the reason? He would literally call people like, tell you, like, are you fucking stupid? Like, why'd you fucking do this? Like, you don't know what you're fucking doing. Certainly what Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos has done, and they built great companies. I'm not defending it, but that is what other people have done. That's not how I like to do it. And it doesn't feel good. I agree. But we're using the word psychotic and we're doing a lot of things.
12:04so go ahead why did he do it what was the reason though the reason why i was fired the actual reason i was fired was no why was he yelling oh he was unstable like what was the reason what was the reason he yelled yeah but what was the thing that caused i'm asking uh i'm not defending it but let's have more context because you sound like the person that starts a twitter thread um he would come in at 10 o 'clock and when we were supposed to be there at eight and just scream at everyone uh why though what happened before are you guys on the phone why aren't you on the phone where are you supposed to be on the phone not me particularly but the person who told to yeah the bullpen okay so that's the reason it's just i don't feel like that's like the way to handle no i i agree it's not the proper way to handle it however it wasn't he i agree however But it's not like he just went in and he just started screaming for no reason.
12:58That was his leadership method. Wasn't good. You're allowed to leave it. It is not illegal. So. So that just didn't feel. So that's why you got fired? No. Because the boss yelled at people for not doing their job. That's not why I got fired. But that definitely set the stage for my time at the job. I was constantly on edge. I always felt like I was going to get fired. And then I did. After seven years. I was making$35 an hour plus bonus. Yep. Which, by the way, I mean, you make the per capita income in Cape Coral. Congratulations, even though you scoffed at what you make. I just don't. I can't believe people live on it.
13:32Okay. Well, the median per capita income does. It's crazy. That's just not a lot of money. That's not a lot of money. It's livable. I don't feel like it is. It's livable. Average rent in that area for one bedroom apartment is about$1 ,652. utilities we can take it about 200 for electricity plus approximately 200 for phone and internet services uh food groceries going about 100 1 higher than the national average there and we can range that from 400 to 600 i can get you to about 300 gasoline looking at three dollars and 39 cents per gallon so we're looking at 470 a month doctor's visit maybe 158 per appointment monthly health care costs 157 for a single adult uh put all that together you would have a surplus less of about six thousand dollars yeah you can survive you're not because you prefer cozy and then you get fired for something you haven't been able to define yet i can tell you how i got i would love to hear that i've up a contract okay sounds like you should have got fired and it wasn't for petty i'd fire someone too if they were their job and replace them with someone who's not their job because you're here to literally do a job but i was there for seven years i don't care doesn't matter why the would that matter it doesn't feel like i have like no if you do not perform why would they not replace you with someone who would make the same amount of money and will perform better i mean think about it logically this isn't you're not a fucking teacher's union yeah you don't have that protection and you shouldn't it's the fucking free market yeah but i just felt like after seven years i was the longest there was only like three employees that were there a lot long i just feel like that literally doesn't matter i felt like i was the best person for the job if i'm there well you weren't because you were fired because you did wrong but i fucked up one thing after seven years that was it a big cup kind of well there you go you know what that does you know what that does and i only fully realized this in the position i'm in now he can no longer trust you and when you lose the trust of someone to take care of things that are huge and you can't reliably put important rinse takes your laundry and hand delivers it to your door, expertly cleaned and folded.
15:49So 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. Or 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. And work on them. Yeah. So I would rather that person not be here and replace them with someone that I can trust. If you break the trust, it's hard to earn trust back in that way. But seven is a long time. It is a long time. And maybe I wouldn't, you know, do that after one instance.
16:30But if the person feels like he can no longer trust, it's his organization. Yeah. But still, that sucks. Oh, my gosh. It hurts my heart. I was there for seven years. Yes, you're fired. No one likes getting fired. I grew up there from 19 to 25. Okay. You're not going to get tears from me. I mean, that's the world of the job market. Like, that sucks. People get laid off all the time. It's a bummer. And you can leave companies for a higher paying job. They can have you leave. You can leave on your own. It's like, don't take it personally. It's business. I take everything personally. Well, you're not going to get places with that.
17:04Good luck. So I can understand how your current wage now, which it's kind of a little gross how you look down on it i'll be honest that rubbed me the wrong way and why i'm being a little intense uh because ew what the fuck is like 22 it's not is it living in luxury no but survivable for your situation for your cost of living area either way yes you were making a lot more then so i can see how now it feels like you're struggling because it is a substantial cut. Huge. But you need to adapt to it. And it is your choice to not adapt to it. Correct. But it's hard. And I know that's not a good excuse.
17:48I know that's not a good excuse. It is hard. Things are hard all the time. For sure. Are you just going to give up? No. If you want to give up, let's just move on. No, I don't want to give up. Let's just move up. Go home. I want to pay my credit card off. If it's hard, put up with it. Put in the hard work. If it's hard and we give up, then just give up. I don't want to, though. Okay, but you've done nothing. And I'm not a magic pill. I got a new job. You know, I didn't stay unemployed. Not, you know, I got the$22 an hour job after the... Yes, but you're looking down upon that job. I'm not. Yeah.
18:21And you have to adapt to that new income. You're not always going to start at the top of an organization. You're not always going to start seven years into an organization. Sometimes you have to start at the floor and move your way up. that is natural and that is okay. Do you think eight months is a long time without getting a raise? No. Really? No. I was expecting a raise within three months. Why? Because I'm good at my job. It's a little weird entitlement. No, a lot of people don't get a raise for like the first year. Jesus. I don't know. I've only had one job. You got raises every three months?
18:51Literally. I went from 15 to 16 to 18 to 19 to 20 to 25 with bonus. Yeah, you were there for seven years. That sounds like maybe yearly raises. Like two years, three years, and then I got capped out. Capped out? They had a cap. Not cap on commission, but cap on hourly for me. They had a cap for you or a cap for everyone? I don't know what everyone else made. Okay, yeah. It sounds like you were potentially underperforming for the last few years because they did not raise your wage. I mean, my Christmas bonus went up every year. Yeah, that's just them being nice in the Christmas spirit. They kept your wage the same, meaning you were likely not providing value.
19:29Let's be honest. i know it sounds so fin like tribal and it sounds so you know evolutionary but the thing is it is kind of just metrics in the end right it's like if there are other people around you performing better the raises are going to go to them you are not entitled to them certainly after three months and if you're getting capped out a couple years in and then you're going in four years no raises that should tell you something i was making so much money that they're like oh we're not gonna pay her anymore because i was making so much money uh listen i don't know this guy and he comes in screaming screaming screaming and we've all had emotional days and like things will happen in high stress situations okay i get that but he sounds like someone that you know maybe not be be the best leader but what most leaders do is even if you're making a lot of money they will give you a raise if you're a high performer because they want to keep you there and because they also just want to...
20:31I mean, that's the big one. Right. So I guess I was not doing as good as I thought I was. Yes, which is why you were actually fired, not because of some petty bull. It felt like petty bull. What? How was it petty? It just felt... Let's talk about student loans.

22:46No. Maybe we should raise the age of everything to 25 because, wow, these people are not maturing as quick as we did literally just 10 years ago. I agree. I don't want to keep saying I'm a dumb b****. I don't understand social abuse. I don't know if it's dumb. I think you're literally at the mental state of a child. I think you're just immature. It's not a good thing. It's very unhealthy. For sure. I'm glad you agree. Wish you would do anything about it. Okay, so you didn't understand that the penis went in the vagina. Keep going. I just didn't understand, like, why he would be hanging out with us and then why they started hanging out.
23:21And then it just got kind of, like, competitive. It felt like she didn't want another girl in the office. That's what it felt like to me. That's why I feel like it was petty. Why are you getting that vibe other than the fact that they were boning? Because she was being kind of a bitch. Oh, she was being a bitch to you? Yes. Okay. After they started seeing each other. Were you being a bitch to her? No, we were friends. Like, we used to hang out. We used to go out to, like, bush gardens together and dinner and, like, all kinds of stuff. And she got the right to hire and fire? No. She's not the one that fired me.
23:47Then how would it have been petty then? Because she was boss. She just has to go to the boss and be like, oh, fuck. I know she was right about. Oh. So what is your future then? I would like to continue my business, but. Business? The dog stuff? Yeah. The 300 hours a month? Well, that's how much I claim on, like, Cash App and, like, Venmo and stuff. But I get paid cash sometimes. Well, no, that's how much cash... No, that's how much cash... Oh. But I don't necessarily deposit. Okay, go on. I'm not saying that I'm making, like, a ton of livable money. But, like, if I could continue to do that...
24:29That's kind of important. I'm just... I'm not really good at running my business. Well, you spend double what you make in your personal life. I bet that would translate in your business as well if you're making good money in your business. For sure. Keep going. Yeah, I just don't know how to do it. I don't know how to get better. I don't know how to. My logistics are off. What don't you know how to get better? Running my business, owning my business. What part? My pricing, my schedule. Have you looked up median pricing for your area? Yes, but I feel bad. I charge everyone pretty much different stuff.
25:00I will go three hours north and charge someone$50 a night to sleep at their house. Why? And then charge someone$100. I don't know. I just say whatever. I have a really. super unorganized. Well, there's one. Charge the market demand. Yeah. That's a change I need to make. And I'd also like to... It's a pretty basic one that you also, again, have already recognized. I'm confused. This conversation is so confusing. You recognize all these things yet you do none of it. I feel like this is a repeated pattern. Well, the clients I have, I've had since I've started and I just feel really bad about charging them something different.
25:34Good. Or even bringing that up. So you'll go out of business and never do this full time. Congratulations. But I don't want to. Okay, so choose one. What do you want to do? I want to big dog up and get my shit together. So big dog up and get your shit together. I don't know how. I can change my pricing for sure. Tell them I'm changing my pricing. But that's not going to be the only thing that helps my business. What else then? I would like to get better at zoning in on my clients rather than, like I said, driving three hours north or an hour south. Okay, so zone in. What do you need to do to get better at that?
26:06How do I tell my clients that I already have that I can't help them anymore? I can't help you anymore. But I feel bad. I know I need to. Yeah. I'm sorry. It's business. I know, I know. At that point, you're not fucking someone over. You're just saying you don't want to drive three hours anymore. It's not like you are truly, like you're ripping up a contract. It feels like breaking up. But you're not. If it was, that would be a different situation. If we signed a contract and you were just ripping up the treads, yeah, that'd be fucked. But this is just, you're a contractor to them, you know? It's like they're just going to find another person on Fiverr.
26:41I'm assuming it's like that, right? Yeah. Yeah, I have a dog person. One moved. So I got a new one. And she's better. Really? That's one. Yeah. We just stuck around longer. I just, yeah, I need to get better. I'm not good at that. Well, yeah, apparently in any aspect because. I'm not. You need to get better in a lot of things and you know what you're doing wrong. and the solutions are pretty basic yet you do none of them uh i need some fire under my what would that be someone telling this oh come on dude you can get the literally this is the most basic in the world anyone would tell you this this this shouldn't change anything i shouldn't have to tell you this i really shouldn't this i mean there might be a budgeting thing in here we'll make a budget by the end but so far this is you just being a child and that's just like grow up yeah that's it for sake how do i grow up if i've been less like i've been like this for 26 years what am i supposed to do dude it's all whatever coping mechanisms and ways to get yourself into discipline you have to do you experiment with different things don't you find things that work.
27:58Maybe you don't deserve any of this. I think I do. I'm trying. You don't do anything. I'm doing the thing. I'm just not doing the thing to make everything better. Exactly. Which is critical. Like, if you're not self-improving in life, I have no respects for you as a human being. Yeah. I care for you as a human, but no respects for you.

Read the full transcript
29:50But it was only$400 when I closed. Doesn't matter. They always go up. In a year? Do a little bit of research, yes. That's crazy. Well, also big expenses can come up if they need to replace a roof or fix a pool. Get ready for a big chunk of money to be due in like six months or something. Yeah, they can do that. I know. I already paid an assessment of$2 ,000. It's just like constantly. Yeah. Condos can be f***ed. Yeah, I wish I would have done that. First rental property of Bozaconda. Horrible mistake. Yeah. Terrible. I completely regret it every f***ing day. What's the interest rate? Is there an interest rate?
30:198%. When'd you get it? November 2023, I closed.
30:30Yeah, I could see you getting a rate around there for the... The bank was offering me 9%, and the people that owned it offered me 8%. What was your credit? What's your deal? What's the term? How much do you owe them? I'm not really sure. I pay them$1 ,200 a month I think last time I checked What was the purchase price? $180. What did you put down? $10. Percent or$1 ,000? Okay

31:48I thought it was a good idea. I had the money in my bank. I had the$10 ,000, which I thought was awesome. My rent at the time was about$23 ,000. Did you have an emergency fund beyond that? I did at the time. Okay, at the time. A lot's changed since I was making$100 ,000. Keep going. Stay on track. Um, I was, my rent was$2 ,300 plus, you know, my utilities and stuff. The deal was presented to me by my coworker at the time. Like, hey, we're selling this condo. It was your coworker? Yeah. Oh, for fuck. Yeah. Big fucking mistake. Yeah. Yeah. That's weird. Not your coworker now, though. Correct. My previous coworker.
32:30Okay. Not the coworker that was from the boss. No. Different. But same job. um they were like oh your rent's 2300 and all your utilities like what we can get you this you know it'll be down to 1200 just a month and you know and you'll you'll be owning it basically um i didn't really look into the fees or what all that meant um but yeah it seems like a really good deal when you're paying 2300 plus utilities to go to 1200 plus utilities and a 400 why didn't you looking into every i'm so confused i mean i didn't really know i just it's pretty you know like people you can people will let you sign any paperwork it's worth 150 000 according to zilla and zilla usually overestimates some you'd certainly be losing money if you needed to sell it today 100 only gone down in value since you bought it yeah it's awful i'm i'm listing it like i'm listing it and i know i'm not going to make any money i just want to wash my hands of this thing completely.
33:28I hate it. It was one of the worst things I've ever done. It says it was sold for$196. Oh, yeah. Then that was me. $196. I thought it was$180.
33:39Oh, for f***ing f***ing. Oh, for f***ing f***ing sake. Yeah. What the f***ing? What is wrong with you? That is very different, especially when it's only worth$150. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was$180. Okay, it's probably worth... You probably owe on it$185. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, you're under water substantially, and who the fuck is going to buy a condo with that kind of fee? I agree. It's only gone. I know, it makes me sick. Yeah, I was listed for$150. You bought it over. Wait. Wait. Wait, you listed it for sale? Yes. I was going to talk to you about it, but I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna list it.
34:25I need to get out of it. I just got my tax bill. But, but, but, but, do you have, do you have like 30, 40 ,000 hours saved? No. To just pay him? So what the fuck are you planning to do? Ask him for help. Why the fuck? What are you? I don't know. Why did he get it to me? Have you talked to him? Yes. And? Um. No, and? Um. He understands that I'm working really hard and I'm super stressed and they are talking about what we can do. They're going to talk to the realtor. Yeah, they're going to try to help you to sell it for as much as you owe. But they're not going to let you walk out of the fucking loan.
35:03Do I just like pay that off? The loan? Or are you talking about the difference? The difference? One, you're going to lose likely 6 % seller and buyer real estate commission. You're not in a happy seller's market, so you're likely covering those, even though technically you don't have to these days. You can put it on the buyer, but you're not. So$150.
35:31So minus$9 ,000,$150.
35:37Certainly no capital gains taxes on this. Good luck. The$185 you owe. Great. So if you sell it, you have to come up with minimum$44 ,000. $40? $4. Oh. $44. $44? $44. $21. What the f*** are you doing? She's actively doing this. Like, right now. It's listed for sale right now. I did not know this. It's listed for sale right f***ing now. Oh my gosh, it's gone down in value so much. I know. It's also in a flood zone, so that's not really... Well, it's Florida. No, but, like, it's on the water. Like, it flooded right before I bought it. Four feet of water inside. This is the season for all your holiday favorites.

Okay. now that you heard that you're gonna have to come up with this what do you think maybe i can work something else out with them with who the people that i'm trying to why the f would they lose forty four thousand dollars why would they be okay with that well i think in my head which we've established isn't the best i'm glad you could recognize it without changing it um interesting great human characteristic of you in my head he bought it for i believe 130 doesn't matter this is a loan this is a loan but if i've already paid him like no how much have i paid well i don't know but it's all been interest towards interest but isn't he making money off of me it feels like i'm just paying him rent well yes you took out an eight percent loan he's making eight percent
37:34so he's making money yes so why wouldn't he just help me if he's already why would he help because he helped me in the first place. What am I talking to? Are you not able to see the logic to this? You're not able to see the logic on the employment side. Are you able to see the logic in this? Why? Unless he's a charity, which he's not because he gave you 8%. Listen, if he gave you 8%, I don't think he's someone that's just going to be like walk away. He didn't give you 4 % or something to keep up with inflation. But he gave me a better deal than the bank was offering me. It felt like a good deal.
38:05He felt like a little angel sent from heaven. So why can't he do that again for me? Why the f*** would he? To help me? Why would he? To help me not get f***ed for 30 years, hopefully? Yeah, but it was your choice. It was your choice. It was a really bad choice, for sure. Yes, it was, but that's not his fault. I'm so confused. What is this world you live in? You live in the weirdest... Oh, you're such a COVID child. You stopped development at 12. You do not live in the real world with the rest of us. Okay. All right. And then you get a cease and desist for operating your business out of the home?
38:42Yeah. Oh, for so far, so you're trying to build a f***ing business and you can't even sell the f***ing, you can't get out of the house, you can't build, oh, what the f***? That's how I feel. From who? Who's cease and desist? The HOA. Yeah, and you probably, that's probably correct. Oh, for f***ing sakes, so you can't do the business because you can't sell the house, but you want to sell, you want to scale the business, but you can't sell the house. Oh, it's so It is This is your fault Should have read over the contract I should have Everything in your life it should have but didn't and won't change Hopefully it will change Yeah, that's how things change That's the first step Right?
39:27Yeah, sure, but you did the first step of hope Forever ago and you've done nothing So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about Because I feel like I'm kind of stuck you are by your choices it's bad yes what do you think your financial score is zero to ten, zero being the worst, ten being the best where do you think you are in this world two okay spending double the income that underwater on their first house even though you put ten thousand dollars down fucking luck if you watch your score actually real estate will probably boost it but it's not going to be a good real estate score. It's going to be a very bad real estate score.

46:45So be lucky that's if somebody buys it for the$150 you listed it for in the market we're in. Now good luck. I know it's fucked. I just wish I wouldn't have bought it as a terrible mistake. Sure doesn't matter you did. I just wish I would have done a little bit more research. Well you're just going to hold you're going to have to hold it more like a really big loss. Yeah. Substantial loss. That sucks. You're going to have to hold it. Why did you dislike the place? I hate it why the fees the neighbors i'm the youngest what's wrong with the neighbors i mean they're all on the board the entire board is in my building okay so i have people looking in my windows i have people okay they're looking in your windows literally like literally like okay that's really weird absolutely it's just it's not my vibe everyone's older too it's a retirement community for like snowbirds should you do research on this anytime i was a good deal when i buy a primary residence you know which it sounds like i make it sound like i'm doing that like every month no one's like okay like okay you know this year i'm getting uh well i technically already closed on the house i'm just renovating it but and then two years ago i got the house before this right but what do i do before i do that and how i saved myself on a house that i almost got that i was this close to closing on i knock on every door on that street i meet everyone i get their perspective for living there i do my research i go there at different times throughout the day you're gonna live there you want it to be great you do your research this is a fucking house this is a multi hundred thousand dollar loan this isn't something you just do out of the whim you didn't know old people were just going and dying well i knew that but i figured it was more of a snowbird situation that they'd be gone like half the year did you ask people so there we go this is your fault i mean this is your fault it's my fault but i don't want to i don't want to be in the situation even though this is my fault i know it's my fault well they're saying you put a big trip on here oh yeah skank fest yeah isn't that comedy it's comedy oh yeah i have heard of that it's so fun and i know right but you can't afford to live in your own place so we're putting comedy over living in your own place that's why it's on my credit card so i can pay for it that's dumb that's not cute that's not cute but i love comedy Cool.
49:06Watch it on YouTube. It's not the same. No, it's not. It's not. But you can do things you want to do when you can afford them. When you can afford them, you can't. You can't. You can't. But if I can't afford it now, I figured it would be paid off by the time the event actually comes in November. Well, good news. Okay? Instead of that dumbass gankfest bull... We're going to have a comedy show for you on Being Told and it's free. So here we go. The roast. The official roast of Janetti. Janetti. Janette. That's fine. Janette. We use fake names. I don't know. First up, marketing Josh. I wrote down some jokes for you.
50:01I'm so excited to hear them. A slight roast. I heard about your finances. So it was very easy to be creative for you. And I'm going to start off with this first one. You're so broke, your idea of a luxury item is a secondhand paper towel. You're so broke, when you applied for a credit card, the bank instead sent you a sympathy card. I'm sorry about that. I heard. You're so broke, your credit card got declined at the dollar store. Damn. You can't be doing that. You're so broke, you wash paper plates. That's rock bottom, girl. She just leaves them in her apartment. Aww. Make sure you never eat at her place.
50:42You're so broke, you count ramen noodles as a food group. Do you not? You don't do? I would never do that. Thanks. You're so broke, when you walk past a payday loan place, they just laugh. You don't even get accepted there. You're so broke, your piggy bank is on a hunger strike. You know who should go on a hunger strike? you're so broke you bring a spoon to the super bowl girl if you end up in the super bowl how did you afford that you're so broke your house plants wish they were weeds outside that's know how tragic that is that's it for me though the super bowl is what she calls her breakfast every morning next up on the roast of jeanette the office's favorite lesbian and video editor, Aaron.
51:32Woo! What's up, Jeanette? You're so broke your idea of meal prep is sniffing a food court. You can smell that Annie Ann's from a couple staircases away. You're so broke your couch has more coins than your bank account. You're so broke your dreams have a budget. How does that feel? Great. You're so broke even your check engine light gave up. and sorted her tires. You're so broke your idea of fine dining is a Saturday samples at Costco. You're so broke you steal napkins to use as toilet paper. That's just sad, Jeanette. It's really sad. You're so broke your welcome mat just says help. And that's what it screams when you stand on it.
52:21You have any roasts back? I just want to say your teeth are beautiful. Not really a roast. And we transition! And last up for the roasted Jeanette, the office's favorite degenerate, Brandon. Congrats on being f***ed. You're so broke, you can't even pay attention. You're so broke, ducks throw bread at you. You're so broke, your wallet has a cast and crutches. You're so broke, you go to KFC to lick other people's fingers. You're so broke, when someone rings the doorbell, you stick your head out the window and yell ding dong you're so broke even your imaginary friend won't lend you money you're so broke your piggy bank filed for unemployment and you're so broke your calendar skips payday damn oh my goodness as we just transitioned back i just read the craziest you know okay but either way there you go now you don't need to pay for skank fest okay you You had your little comedy show.
53:24We provided it for free. Okay. Okay. So no more. How much did this Skink Fest cost? The ticket was$600. And that's not including travel and hotel. When is travel and hotel? The hotel is probably going to end up being like$400. When? When? When? November. For f***ing sakes, did you get a afford your f***ing life? That's kind of why it's planned far away. Well, speaking of skank fest, what made me giggle is, I guess you're also obsessed with spank fest as well. Sugar mama? What? Sugar mama? You pay people after you f***. Oh, well, not all the time. And I don't pay them with money. That's kind of like...
54:14I don't know. I'm being red. Every time she boned someone, she would gift them gifts. I wouldn't say every time, but I mean, at least three or four times that's happened. Bought them AirPods and Apple Watches? Gotta take care of my babies. Was that just their pay? Did they want to? What? Yeah, of course they wanted. They were getting AirPods and... Yeah, because I was like, you're such a good boy. You get some AirPods. Take care of you. So we can't afford life, but we're buying P &I AirPods and watches? not all the time but i would say sometimes i'm so confused you can't even afford to pay your own bills i this is this makes no sense going out to you was like 700 bucks unknown shopping it's just like amazon and stuff was like 1300 miscellaneous bullshit was another almost 700 bucks so it's like what the are you doing you can't pay you can't pay to i just like to make sure they get a little little consolation.
55:21Trust me! They were happy if it concluded. Well, no, not like that. I meant more if they finished. Okay. Well, I don't know. Maybe that too. But this is like... Dude... Again, I mean... Look... I was just about to move on. You've had a late fee this year so far on this card. You're buying ball sacks AirPods? You're buying ball-sacks AirPods, and yet you're not even paying your damn minimum payment on time to this card. And you're spending$1 ,000, what was it,$500 on this card? And you're not even paying it on time. Why? I didn't know there was a - Oh, for f***'s sake. I know that's not a good excuse, but I genuinely didn't know that.
56:09Oh, my f***, dude. I didn't even know my monthly payment was so busy. Hundreds of interest this year so far. Hundreds of interest this year so far on one card. And then the late fee. I didn't know. We're still barely even into this year. I know. What? Was it late fee this year or this month? Yes! No, it wasn't this month. It was this year, though.
56:32The f***? Why wouldn't it be paid on time? Can you tell me that? I know you didn't know when, but why wouldn't it be paid? Just being stupid is f***ing. Okay. You're done then, right? Look, what's... This next one's for all you CarMax shoppers who just want to buy a car your way. Want to check some cars out in person? Uh-huh. Want to look some more from your house? Okay. Want to pretend you know about engines? Nah, I'll just chat with CarMax online instead. Want to get pre-qualified from your couch? Woo! Want to get that car? Hey, that's a beat! You want to do it your way? Want to drive? CarMax.
57:14What is this fucking conversation? If everything would do anything, I'm stupid. Well, because I want to write down the things that I'm stupid about so I can... And you're not? Well, I am. I'm making mental notes. But you're stupid. For sure. I am stupid, but I'm trying to not be stupid. You can learn. You don't have to be stupid forever. Right? I agree, but we're approaching 27 on Monday, you said. Yeah. I feel like I'm doing pretty good for 27. I'm glad you got into a house. You got into a horrible housing situation that you never should have. You should have researched. or you should have honestly probably taken our real estate class before you fucking purchased the house.
57:52But... No, at least you get to watch that for free now for your next one. If you ever get out of this house, good luck. Okay, Apple Card.
58:04$1 ,345.34. Minimum monthly payment,$60.

58:24Massage? Massage Lux? Yeah. The f***? It's only$5. For what? I have my membership on hold until I get more money. So I pay them$5 a month, basically, to not charge me$70 a month. Oh! So I can keep my... So you don't even get the service! Correct. Oh, for f***s sake, this is so moronic. This is so moronic. You spend double what you make in your Spain to keep a subscription on hold? What the f*** are you doing? Bark.co, you spend enough on the pup. Apple bill? Pull up your phone again. You got a ring plan so you can, like, see someone collapse with a heart attack in front of your door? Yeah. Or the old people, you know.
59:10I just want to make sure they're not looking in my windows. won't you see them would that not be the same give i don't need to see your apple
59:25okay you just have icloud plus yeah that is that bill it's the icloud plus extra storage i don't know what so what's up with this card so this card is basically like it's you know it's easy when you're on your phone it's the first card that comes up when you go to pay stuff and it's connected to all my things um like my bark box and stuff like that yeah um did see that there's a couple things on ebay that i purchased on that card what are we getting on ebay who's You've seen eBay. What are you getting on eBay? I love eBay. Congratulations. I'm sure you do. You love getting things that show up to your house.
1:00:07I know. That's your pastime. I just love, I love stupid shit. I love buying dumb shirts. That's how this conversation started. Yeah. Dumb shirts? Yeah. Like, like who's a good boy? Yeah. That is a dumb shirt. I know. I got it on eBay. So we're going to potentially go bankrupt for dumb shirts. Interesting strategy. Is that your version of comedy? You love comedy shows so much. Your comedy is who's a good boy on our shirt? No. It kind of just sets the tone. How much do you spend on this bull? I try to get, like,$10 shirts. Where do you travel? I travel... I try to get out of the state, like, two or three times a year.
1:00:43How? You can't even come close to affording that. How? Like, credit cards and stuff. You can't... And you probably go fucking wild when you travel, too. Well... Just look at you. You can't control yourself while you're home. I mean, I... Honestly, I just black out. You know, the time that you're on vacation doesn't count towards the time... Which is great when we go on vacation once a quarter. i just like you make like 50 000 a year before taxes four vacations where we just black out and spend all our money a year good luck i know i just again i goes back to the i like i like it i like i know what you like i don't give a for sure i'm i'm just i like it i like i got friends in colorado I got friends in Colorado I have friends out here FaceTime them Right now?
1:01:30No Instead of traveling to Colorado But Colorado's cool I'm sure it is You can't afford Are you not understanding That it's like Great I understand it's nice I understand it's cool I understand you want to do it You mathematically cannot afford it Because you got fired from your last job Because you're irresponsible And don't know how to do your job That was the fault of you And you alone whether or not it was a petty fire, you still did something incorrect and you got fired. Oh no, the consequences of my own actions. Who would have thought? Okay. So that happened. Now you make less money. You can't live the lifestyle you did before.
1:02:09That is you making choices. I don't give a fuck if it's fun. It's all on you. And you do not have to say yes because it's fun. But the sake of your future, I obviously see that. So you need to sit down with a fucking therapist and figure that shit out. I'll gift you therapy. Three free sessions with Sondermine. They use them. I use them. They're great. Work on these coping mechanisms. Learn to say no. That's hard. I know hard things are... It's hard. It's fun. It's hard. It's fun. You're never going to do anything if this is your brain. You didn't know how fucking people banged at 19 and then you pay people the fuck after that?
1:02:55Like, it's like, okay. That sounds bad. When you say it like that. Paying people to f*** sounds bad. Reading it as I see it. Hanging out with someone for a month and then being like, all right, here's some AirPods. Ta-ta. That's different. In my opinion. So weird. Okay. Okay.
1:03:21I don't know. I just, you're, you haven't grown as a human mentally. But I own a house and a business and I have a job. You're underwater on your house by$55 ,000 and you want to sell it. You have a business that makes$300 a month and you can't operate it out of the place that you live in, which is where you're operating your business. Shut the f*** up. There's nothing to be proud of here. I feel like I have the things in place, just not the best execution. Is it a business credit card? Over the past year and a half, my team and I have worked with experts to create the literal best for financial education programs on the entire internet.
1:04:02And even with a full month for a money back guarantee, we have the lowest refund rate in the entire industry by far. So I'll teach you how to budget no matter where you are in life, how you should be investing based on your investing profile, and how to get into real estate for the very first time or grow a massive rental property empire like I have in my own life. And I can also teach you how to get out of bad debt, but also utilize good debt to your advantage. And each of these is available individually in the education section in the description below. But at the top of that section, you can also bundle all four of them together for 15 % off.
1:04:39So join the over 10 ,000 people who have gone through my educational programs and have changed their lives. And to learn more, just go to CalebHammer.com or just click those links in the description below. Okay, yo,$2 ,457.16 with a minimum monthly payment. You purchased$353.00! For f***s sake. I think it's just gas, though. We'll see. Minimum of payment is$25, so this will never be paid off. How long will it take to pay off? It doesn't say, but it's going to take forever, that's for sure. My goodness. Yeah, some of it's gas, but there's also tractor supply. Dog food. $152 in dog food in one purchase?
1:05:27That's dog food and cat food, it sounds like. How many pets do you have? Well, I'm a pet sitter, so I always have to have extra stuff on hand. Not food, though. the owners have the food. It's always good to have extra and I buy it in bulk. Yeah, but feeding them something outside of their diet is going to make them not necessarily. Sometimes, yeah. But I have some dogs that are just like... I'd be pissed if my dog watcher fed them some out of diet food, not a treat. But what if you didn't send me enough food to watch your dog? I would. Not everyone's as competent. Okay, so it's when they're with you.
1:05:57But you can't do that in your place, business. I still do it. They can f***ing like... They threaten to fine me$100 a day. until i stop yeah and it can get worse too yeah but nothing's ever come about it since i got that one thing in the mail what's she's spending on the pets on a monthly basis oh i honestly don't know a lot what do you think probably like a band between dog food treats band that's a thousand right thousand dollars okay yeah i mean it's just like just buy a lot for the business and thousand hours a month on it but you make 300 so it's like well it's like yeah what a great business you're running you go in the hole for it but i do make more money than 300 that's just how much then i would say it's definitely less than 5 000 a year since i can't be full time on it i can't dedicate even 5 000 a year let's just say that that's 400 a month okay okay i was a little off.
1:06:59I think it's a little bit more than that. You said I don't even bring in$5 ,000 a year. I gave you$5 ,000. Yeah. I think last year I did well because I had more time dedicated to it but now that I have my 9 to 5, it's probably more accurate to$300,$400 a month. But prior I was making way more because I was able to spend more time on it. Oh my gosh. They're saying she spends 400 hours a month on something stupid. What else do you spend 400 hours a month on? Is it? Is it? You tell me. I don't know. Better not be. Is it? It's a s*** ton of money. Is it? Oh, it is! Oh, you spent literally$420 this month on weed?
1:07:46Are you f***ing kidding me? Are you f***ing kidding me? That's insane. That's kind of cool, though. $420? Yeah, that's hilarious. When you can't... Literally for life. You are a joke. You're an excuse for a human. I have no respect for you. I have no respect for you. I hope you do well, but I have no respect for you. You're a joke. You're a child. You're a joke. I'm sorry. I'm telling it as it is. No more roasting. No more little comedic hikes. You're a child. You're a child. You've never developed beyond, like, 12. I have no respect for you as a human. But I have all the adult stuff. Underwater on a mortgage?
1:08:20Is that an adult thing? Oh, yeah, it is. A lot of people are underwater on their mortgage, but at least they have a house.
1:08:29Is that not normal? Like, isn't it like a recession or some shit? We don't know. We have to have two quarters of GDP decline for a recession. 2.5 % of people with mortgages are underwater on their home. No, the majority of people do not. In fact, basically the worst, which was the 2008 mortgage crisis, was 23%. So not even a full quarter. So no, that is not the adult thing to do. You're in a small minority of people who got way over their head and didn't do the research and fucked over their lives. But doesn't it make my credit look good? That I own a house? Uh, your seller finance probably isn't showing up under credit.
1:09:14Oh. Right? I don't know. Is he reporting into the f***ing credit bureaus? I don't think so. I don't know. I'd be beyond surprised. Hey, honestly, actually, I'll be honest. I don't even know. Me neither. Yeah, it doesn't automatically appear on your credit. But you can potentially get seller financing reporting. You would have to take extra steps or they would have to take extra steps using like a loan servicing company or reporting it via third-party services like Rental Karma or Payment Report or Zingo. and you can establish a formal loan agreement, which I'm sure you did in order to report that history.
1:09:53So, I mean, it's possible. But also just don't people over. You took this. Hopefully they just take it back if you don't. I mean, they could. That'd be like best case scenario. I would love that. Yeah, but what if they go through the steps because you took them over reporting that, like a seller finance foreclosure? You want that on your credit? I don't know. I don't know how that works. because I just figured anything to do with the house will look... Well, it sounds like they can at least attempt to get it on your credit. That would be cool. No, the foreclosure. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. No, no. That would not be cool.
1:10:25Oh, dude. I just checked this. You spent 1 ,000 hours a month to bring in 400 at the max. This is moronic. This is not a business. Don't call it a business again. It feels like charity. No, for sure. Yes, that's close. Okay, well, this credit card has$0 on it, so I don't know why I'm seeing this. Oh, I think that's my car.
1:10:47Oh, there's a car on the second page. Well, it's at a 2.25 % interest rate of what your house was. I mean, that's a good rate for a car. What is the car? I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. Balance is$5 ,250.68. The minimum monthly payment is$427. I mean, it's chunky. Chunky, probably a shorter term. I don't know if you had this. How's the condition? What's the car like? I bought it in 2018. It's a great car. I love my car. I do fly through tires like a motherfucker, though. Why? Because I drive all over town for this stupid charity job that I love, but I need to figure out how to make money on it. But I've gotten at least two sets of tires in the last year.
1:11:33Well, I'll gift you a course career certification. Use the accounting one for your own business, and I think you'll learn that$1 ,000 out and$400 in equals no. But how do I get to make more money than$400 a month? We already talked about this earlier. What the f - I thought you were taking mental notes. I thought that was your special superpower. That's not a superpower, but I do want to know. You have to charge more. You need to charge locally so you're able to go in between places quicker.
1:12:02And, and, uh, you gotta just cut out the people that are far away and you're not charging enough. No more charity. You said it feels like a charity. We can't be like a charity anymore. I know. How much do you think the car's worth?
1:12:43eligibility vary by state um probably like 7 000 we're seeing what condition is it in it's pretty good done okay pretty good like fair i guess it would be okay it's probably worth like 10 000 then we're getting 14 000 for good condition oh wow cool yeah that's not bad right yeah yeah yeah yeah you're underwater in your house not your car i'd rather it be the car than the house, but... But I could always live in my car if anything happens. Is that you being cute or is that a real... That's like a real thing. If I'm homeless, at least my car will be paid off. For the sake, man. At least my car will be paid off.
1:13:28It's okay to be homeless. Great. All right. Student loans for what degree? It was a technical college. I went to be an esthetician, which is... Esthetician, really? Skin and nails. Yep. It just really doesn't make much money. Yeah. That field. It takes a long time to make decent money on that. Yeah. Okay? And it was awful. I was a waxer, and I only did it for about maybe six months. What the fuck are you doing? Why are you not paying on it? They'll garnish your fucking wages. I think it's called deferred. It's deferred? Or something like that. No, I see a regular amount of 50 bucks. I told them that I lost my job.
1:14:10All current dues, zero. Yeah, what are they going to do when you file taxes and they say, oh, she has a job? Well, that comes off, I think, automatic. They gave me a year. Okay, year until when? When's year? I think I start paying back on it in June, July. Okay, so it'll be 50 bucks. I'll just put that in your budget for now. But you stopped. Yeah, dude, I was a waxer. That means nothing to me. Okay, I was 18. You were waxing. I was waxing vaginas and dirty buttholes. Did you just, oh my gosh, you really do infantilize yourself. You chose to get into it. Also, it's just a private part. Who gives a f***?
1:14:50It's not, it's not f***ing porn. I'm so confused. It was a job. It was just like if you were doing something medical as well. And if you're uncomfortable, don't go into it. But don't do the, I was 18 and I saw a naked body. Oh my f***. What are you? I can deal with naked. You're literally a professional Redditor or Twitter user. You are a child You are the most Gen Z I don't hate Gen Z I'm in that weird Gen Z Millennial hybrid anyway So it's just like Whatever But what the What is this infantilization I'm 18 I'm 19 I've never heard of sex Oh Oh 18 I saw I saw a pussy Oh f*** No I can handle pussy And I can handle butthole But when a b***h is coming And running a mile And then comes in Like can I get a full Brazilian That is f***ing Can you give her a towel I can wipe her with a baby wipe But you can't have her?
1:15:41That's a little bit. Is there a shower there? No. No. Okay. Yeah, baby, wipe it up. Okay, you didn't like it, but don't do the, I was 18. I just felt like it was a lot for me as that age. If literally seeing a naked body for you was a lot at 18, then you probably shouldn't be out of sight of your parents. It was nasty. I can handle all the I can handle bodily you know I can look at a pair of tits and a vagina but a stinky nasty gross I don't think it has to do with 18 though I think that's disgusting I wouldn't like that either but not because I'm 30 but I'm throwing that in that I was also 18 that shouldn't matter I just got out of high school I didn't again I didn't really know what's going on I was just like what the what what is this why are you assigning childlike behavior to yourself you You were an adult.
1:16:36People literally go serving wars at that age. I don't give a f***. If it is too scary to see something that is stinky at 18, then you should not be driving a multi-ton vehicle at 70 miles per hour. You probably shouldn't be allowed to leave the house. You probably shouldn't be allowed to work a job where there are high-pressure situations because you are too immature. If you are incapable to exist at 18, you shouldn't be allowed to do anything. You can either infantilize yourself in nothing or in everything. If seeing something stinky is too much for an 18-year-old, then you need to be locked inside and coddled by your dad and be assigned a marriage.
1:17:17That's a bit much. Not really. If you are literally incapable of anything at 18, then I am not going to let you go have a job where someone might be a little upset if you don't do your job properly. I'm not going to let you drive a truck down a road. I think... I'm not going to let you go to college where you have to be responsible for yourself. Barely. I think I'm pretty responsible. I mean, I moved out of my mom's when I was 19. I can't be that infant-y. It was your words, dude. I was using your own words. That I'm a child? You said that was a lot for an 18-year-old. It was. Not really. Most of us be f***ing in high school.
1:17:59I don't know many 18-year-olds that have a grown-up job that also moved out of their parents. Do you live in a daycare? No, I live in a shitty small town. A lot of people go to college, which means they move out at 18. That is a very common thing in our Western American culture. In fact, it has been more common historically to move out at 18 since at least the 40s and 50s in our culture. Not where I'm from. Well, then where you're from is... it is okay cool that doesn't matter you don't know people who have jobs at 18 that's on them a lot of people my brothers a lot of people i know we go get a job at 16 so we can pay for the car so we can pay for the gas so we can do the things we want to do so we can go live an independent lifestyle you're so coddled what a disgusting joke that your age is it's crazy you're like two years you're like four years younger than me so it's not even that big thing You're not even 18 now.
1:18:58When you were 18, I was f***ing 22. We were not even that far apart. And I didn't act like this. What is wrong with people like you? I will never understand. I was excited to be an adult. I don't know what the f*** is wrong with you guys. You children. Good luck ever existing in this world, man. You make me sound like a boomer, but my f***, there actually is something wrong. There actually is something wrong. With the generation? I guess. Just with some people. The permanently, chronically online 18-year-olds who got separated from reality during COVID because they were locked inside. You know, that's what we all did.
1:19:33But they just couldn't operate in the world after that. And they've just, they're mentally children for the rest of their lives. I don't know what the f*** happened. It's crazy. And I never realized it until I started the show and had to talk to people like you. It's crazy. Okay. Is that it? Is that all the dat? That looks like all the dat. Hmm. I think so. Pardon me, huh? I feel like I didn't write something down. I have to look back real quick.
1:20:03I'm going to write down the car. How much is owed on the car? $4 ,000 something. $4 ,500 something. $4 ,820. With a minimum payment of what? I think it's$427. $440. hey we have 500 hours in our checking account we're just going in getting some bull probably vaping i can't believe how much you spend on fucking weed on monthly basis that's crazy it's like and that's just on my card that's not even cash spend 15 of your income what a joke 50 15 oh holy shit still insane uber eats oh my gosh 25 bucks there rib city ben went out money Zaxby's Uber Eats, Uber Eats PayPal-ing out money India's Grill Clover Venmo-ing out 15 Downtown House of Pies Starbucks, Uber Eats, Uber Eats Uber Eats!
