To watch episodes of Financial Audit a week earlier, check us out on YouTube. I have a tendency to manipulate my fiance into doing whatever I want. The fiance? Like what? I know I'm always going to end up getting my way. I have him wrapped around my finger. Oh! Yes, I am, like, going behind his back and doing that, but in another way, like, I'm getting what I want. Hammer Elite is the best YouTube membership on the platform, and I just upgraded it.

After that, I'll send you a$10 digital gift card that can be spent basically anywhere and in most countries. This is the best membership you'll ever join. That's a promise. Hi, my name is Lexi. I'm 24 years old. I'm from Lafayette, Louisiana, and this is Financial Audit. You are the second person today with the holes in the ears and the septum piercing.

2:03What creatures have we drug off the street? I appreciate you coming down here or over from Lafayette. What do you do there for a living, Lexi? So I work from home. I work at a third party. It's a it's weird to explain, but it's a third party company that helps out insurance companies. What is your job? I'm a policy processing representative. Very good. What do you make? I make$35 ,000 a year. I make salary. Salary$35 ,000? Usually minimum when it comes to salaries is at least$41 ,000,$42 ,000. Why is this so low? I may be wrong then. It could be hourly, but they say$16 ,000. It's about$16 ,000,$90 ,000 something an hour.

2:52How many hours a week are you working? 40, full time. Okay. Do you know what hits your account on a monthly basis? Maybe that's your after tax. Yes, I have it in my phone. Am I allowed to pull that out? Yeah, if you don't know your monthly income. I know the income between me and my fiancee monthly. I like me and me. My fiancee, congratulations. Thank you. Thank you so much. monthly income, our total checks. Where's he? Where's he? What's happening? I feel like we should be having a fiance conversation. Yeah. No. So he just started this new job and he doesn't have any time off accrued yet, so he's not able to make it, unfortunately.

3:36Okay. Are we looking at both of y 'all's combined or just you? We are. Both of ours combined. Okay. So what hits your account? Total check is$2 ,093.45. How often? Twice a month. $2 ,935? 2 ,093, 45. So 2 ,900. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, 45 cents. Okay. Total is 418690. The way you say numbers is a bit weird. I know, I'm sorry. But that's okay. So 4 ,186 ,090 cents into your account on a monthly basis. On a monthly basis. Okay. So what are we talking about today? because, you know, first of all, that gets you at$50 ,000 a year after taxes. You clearly have no idea what the fuck you're making because you cut your income likely in half.

4:26I don't know how someone does that, but that clearly suggests that we're not budgeting. What is going on? What are we talking about today? Yeah, so basically me and my fiance are stuck in a cash advance cycle. Of course, it started with our normal debt. Like, you know, we came into the relationship. I had my small Discover card with about a$4 ,000 limit. He came in with like a$20 ,000 limit. Okay. When? This was 2021 when we started dating. Okay. Okay. Well, your finances shouldn't have been intertwined at that point anyway. No, they were not. But okay, I get it. And the cash advance cycle can be a struggle.

5:05Sometimes it can be helpful to use a service like that. But when you get really stuck in it, it's again, it's a tool like a credit card. It's a tool like any of that. It can be good. It can, by the vast majority of people, just completely get stupid. Absolutely. I think one of the other things I wanted to touch on, I need to stop manipulating my way out of debt. What does that even mean? What does that possibly even mean? Basically. Why don't you just hit, okay. I have a tendency to manipulate my fiancee into doing whatever I want. The fiancee? Like what? We bicker back and forth a lot, but I know I'm always going to end up getting my way.

5:45I have them wrapped around my finger. What does that mean? What are different ways that you get? Batting my eyelashes during the flirting. I'm not asking what it takes to get it. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, I'm talking what you win. I'm usually getting more cash advances. I'm the one that's putting us in the cycle. No. And he's the one that's trying to get us out. Why'd you use we? So how does that conversation look? We have used all of our money from our paychecks, from our bills, and I either want to buy something or I want to... Buy what? Maybe make up, maybe... Oh, for my sake. And we know you certainly love it, so...

6:24Yeah. Or like going out to... We love to do karaoke. We're both musicians, so we love doing karaoke. Ah, yes, the classical musician thing. Karaoke at a bar. We also perform as well, but karaoke is like a big thing for us. So we cash advance to karaoke? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. So casually. But he's against us. He pushes back and you're just like, oh, please. Yes. He pushes back and I push back even harder. And I'm always just convincing him that like we have enough for the next paycheck. We can pay it off. And is he desperate? I don't know. How old is he? What is happening? He is 28.

7:08Is he desperate?

7:12Maybe we can ask him. I don't know. Okay, maybe I'll call him later and ask then. Yeah, probably. I mean, they're telling me you hide spending from him until he notices how much she spends, how much you spend. Yes, yeah. You hide spending from your literal fiance, i.e., what we're trying to spend the rest of our lives together, potentially have kids with. Do we have kids? No, not yet. Okay, potentially have kids with. you're hiding spending from him. What are you hiding? It's usually like if I go out to grocery shop or if I go out. You're not hiding grocery shopping from him. No, but I mean like, what I mean is if I go out to grocery shop and I see something that I want, that's what I'll hide.

7:54I'll like hide it in the grocery money. The fuck are you talking about? Like what? Once again, makeup or just like products, tanning. What is your obsession with it? I mean, I guess you did, certainly did something to your eyebrows. Trying to figure out what I did. Well, that's a little Mulan-ish. Oh, thank you. No, I shave the tails of my eyebrows and then draw them back on. That's interesting. It's an art project. Yeah, absolutely. I guess everything's a canvas when you're creative. Okay, so you hide that? And like the grocery spending. And what else? Also, like, tanning. I love to go tanning.

8:35So, like, self-tanner. They're all lining up so far. Yeah. They're all? Yeah. Everything you're mentioning is very visually represented. Perfect.

8:47Okay. Definitely. What else? Clothes. Wait, you hide going to the tanning, going and getting tanned in the grocery budget? Absolutely. You guys lined out a grocery budget, and you go get tanned? What are you doing? Why? He's your fiance. You want to have a life together. How the f*** could he even trust you? How could he trust that you guys come together and make a budget so we can get out of the cash advance cycle and he just trusts you to not go f***ing spread cheeks under a light and get your hole all browned? He's a really trusting guy, I guess. And that's bad, clearly. Yeah. And you're okay with it?

9:25You don't feel disgusted? I'm a little disgusted. Really? nothing, no remorse, no sympathy, no perspective of what the other person might be feeling on the other side, no empathy. Nothing, nothing, nothing. And how often does he find this out? Usually right after I make the purchase. And how does that conversation go? Because obviously he didn't really consent to that purchase and then you do it and then he's like, oh, now I know. Please don't do it again. How does that conversation go? Basically just how you described it. He, you know, figures out that I bought something and I tell him, oh, yeah, so I may have bought this as well.

10:05And OK, but just don't do it again. And I'm like, OK, and then turn around and do it again. And what are your feelings on that lady? I mean, in a certain way, yes, I am like not happy about like having, you know, going behind his back and doing that. But in another way, like I'm getting what I want. So, I mean, I grew up in a spoiled, like I was spoiled growing up. I never got told no. So I. You're 24. Yeah. You've grown up. You've grown the up, at least you're supposed to. You're trying to smell me? What are you doing? No, sorry. No.

10:52I mean, I, yeah, grew up in a spoiled household. I never got told no. From mommy and daddy? From mommy and daddy. What the f***, dude? So now you're just using this guy. Are you sick? I know. Are you trying to smell your piercing? I'm so confused. No, I'm sorry. I breathe really hard. I'm sorry. That's not breathing. We don't call that breathing. That's snorting. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying to do it on purpose, I promise. So tell me how the conversation actually goes, though. I want to hear it. Give me his perspective. but let's see if you can empathize with the other side. Tell me. Are you mimicking me?

11:34So basically, what happens is I will come home from spending money on groceries and whatever small thing. Come home from spending money. Great. Great job. And he will confront me, usually, and say, hey, I noticed that this amount of money has come out of the account. What did you spend it on? I tell him either XYZ, this is what I spent it on. And he will either get upset or he is okay with it. And how do you act? What is your personality like during that? Very nonchalant, basically. Just like, oh, okay. You? That's your personality during that? Okay, continue I mean, it goes from You know, telling him like What I spent my money on Either he's okay with it Or either he is not okay with it And if he's not okay with it We bicker back and forth Just why would you spend money on that?

12:40You know we're trying to get out Why would you go do it again? Why would you go do it again If he's clearly visibly upset And you guys bicker back and forth Okay, but like The things I'm spending it on Is like stuff I need Like makeup Like I need makeup I need to go out You might, I'm not sure Sure, but... I need to go out in public and I have to put on a face. Put on a face. What is your normal face? Let me see a picture of you without makeup. Oh, I don't know if I have a photo of me without makeup. Let's see. So you're always fake? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, we love fake people. Yeah. But I'm also like super pale normally.

13:13So I like... God, I don't think that... But you use the word need. Do you understand what the word need means? You could go... No. That's another thing that I have a problem with. He clearly, that's one of the things he brings up. You don't know the difference between need and want. Yeah, sounds like he should be on this side of the table. So why don't you correct anything? Because he brings up what sound like likely good points, and he wants your guys' relationship to work for some reason, and you're like, no, f*** that. I'm going to keep being horrible? I just... you have no desire to change, no desire to be a better person, no desire to lift him up, no desire to change your bad habits for him.

13:56Let me see a picture of him. I have a picture of our engagement photo. That's my background. He's not a bad looking dude. What is he doing? Okay. But yeah, no, I mean, that's not true. I do want to change. I mean, that's why I'm here. Like, I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to change. I realize like I have a whatever but like so nothing it just means nothing that's what everyone says it's an immediate deflection that's why I'm here no shit I mean come on what have you actually done to change instead of just that's why I'm here give me actions you've done to change okay I oh I went into an MLM I bought myself in an MLM but you know it's an MLM you just said MLM So why would you do it?

14:46Because I didn't, at the time, obviously I didn't know it was an MLM. What the f*** was it? It was Cincy. Cincy, is that makeup? No, Cincy is a candle company. It's like candle wax and wax warmers and stuff like that. What are we doing? Yeah, I had a family friend who was into it. I started under her thinking like, oh, this is going to make us extra money. She was talking about how she was paying off her camper note with it. And I was like, damn, I can make that much money. So I got myself into it. I paid$200 for a starter kit and ended up not selling anything because. Yeah, who the fuck would be buying your wax?

15:28Hey, it smells good. Honestly, who would buy your wax? It smells good. No, who would buy the wax? I'm glad it smells good. Who would be buying the wax? Obviously, like family friends or like at the time. So it's milking your family friends. So not only do you manipulate your fiance out of everything, you also manipulate your friends to buy your so that you can make money on your MLM. How much money did you make? Jeez. I would say I think I made enough to pay off the starter kit. 200 bucks. Over how long? Three months. Oh, for f***ing. What are you doing? That's not trying to change something. And then you what?

16:06And then I stopped because I just knew it wasn't going. $200. At least it was just$200. You didn't spend any more money on it, did you? I did. Yeah. I actually, I bought some of the products. Oh, for f***ing. What are you? But they had Disney. They had Disney stuff and Nightmare Before Christmas stuff. How much did you spend? Because we have the starter kit,$200. How much did you spend? Yeah, probably another$150. Why? What was the purpose? It was really cute. Oh, for f***ing. It was really cute. Who'd you buy that through? Myself. I bought it under my plan. So you kind of got a cut? Yeah. Like a discount?

16:45Yeah. Almost? Yes. This is so moronic. And what does the man think of this? He wasn't very happy about it because... Why is he still with you from your perspective? I think he really likes my personality. I think when it comes to finances you know I may not be the most empathetic but in other you literally go behind his back when you guys have agreed upon a budget and then you manipulate him to let you spend more money when you shouldn't to continue the pay advance cycle and then you manipulate your friends and family to try to sell things out of an MLM for them what are you talking about you're underscoring kind of what you do you're under cooking a little there but go on Why is he like you?

17:32I think in other situations, like outside of the finances, I am a very empathetic person normally. Uh-huh.

17:44No. I mean, you can say whatever you want, but. That's incorrect. I mean, you're just meeting me for the first time. How can you know? Because I know you. You know me. I know you. Listen to what you've said and how you've described these things. What are you talking about? You haven't changed a single, single piece of behavior after these tough conversations with him. You haven't changed a thing. What are you talking about, empathy? What empathy do you have? Oh, you see a skinny kid in Africa, so you get a little sad? No, I mean, like. No, she doesn't even feel sad from that. No, that's not what I mean.

18:23You know that's not what I mean. In other situations, like, you know, when he's feeling sad, like I'm there for him and I help him like feel better and stuff. Basic bare bones responsibilities of a partner. He's sad, so you support him. Wow. That is not you being a good person. I can't allow you to think you're a good person. You've consistently gone behind this guy's back. I'm not going to just sugarcoat this and just let you off I don't care if I look mean You act like a piece of shit financially with him At minimum by your own admission So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, empathy How much is usually in your guys' checking account?

19:14Which is between paycheck, paycheck Between paycheck? Usually we're in the negative Good fucking yet you don't stop your fucking cake machine and everything. This makes no sense. You're prioritizing your selfish desires over any potential future. How long have you guys been engaged? We've been engaged for two years and we get married in October. Oh, man. If you're listening, is he watching this? Most likely. Man! Give me a call if you need buddy. He doesn't even have to be on camera. What the f*** are you doing? You got time. Sorry, I'm not trying to be a d***, but look at how you're doing. Extra value meals are back.

19:51That means 10 tender juicy McNuggets and medium fries and a drink are just$8. Only at McDonald's. For limited time only. Prices and participation may vary. Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska, and California and for delivery. Things lady, you're fully self-admitting and almost proud in the way you present that you're okay with going behind your back. And I do appreciate you for what it's worth being willing to be open and honest. That is a tough thing. That is a brave thing to do. And I appreciate that. But you're also kind of a... I mean, yeah, I guess I am a bitch about it. Yeah, you're a bitch.

20:28Yeah. I also would like to put forward that with the, like, our negative balance, we actually have Capital One, and they have no fee overdraft. So, I mean, it's not that big of a deal that we're going into overdraft. So it's okay that we're completely financially f***ed, guys, because we'll never be able to get a house, never be able to take care of kids, never be able to pay off debt, never be able to get a hen in any way whatsoever, never be able to do anything. Good luck retirement. Ha ha ha. Never heard of that. But we don't have overdraft fees, guys, so we're golden. I do have retirement.

21:02What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, how much is in your retirement? About 2.5 last time I checked. 2.5K.

I mean, they have the note that I guess his loans and debt gets pushed to the side a lot because of you, because of your priorities.

22:45And this is what you guys self-admitted when having a phone call with the producers. You guys just endlessly fight on what bills to pay with your paychecks before they go to zero, obviously. And it's just, he's just fed up. He's just fed up. No, he doesn't want to be here. This would be hard to confront. That probably would have been eyeopening to you, my guy. But I can, I can understand. So what the f***? You guys just bigger back and forth. Yeah, you have no care in the world. No care in the world. You just prioritize your own f***ing spending. Going out to eat was$1 ,000. So what the f*** are you talking about?

23:24Misleading is bulls***,$508. Large purchases,$556. Groceries is$300. Going out to eat was$1 ,000. So come on. You're prioritizing that. What you want, all your shit, your makeup, your tanning, your food, your fun over his bills or the debt he has that he wants to take care of on behalf of the relationship so that once you guys enter marriage in October, and we are essentially in a way, whether you're spiritual or legal, whatever you want, think about it combined, that you guys can have a good life together. and not have to have one of the leading causes for divorce in this country, financial problems.

24:04But you're like, no, let's test it. Let's push it to the limit. Let's see how far we can push financial problems before it breaks. We actually did have a small breakup because of finances. This was, we had just moved to Lafayette. It was a couple months into us living in Lafayette. When? I don't know. I don't know what he was to Lafayette. How would I know when you moved to Lafayette? It was late March, 2024. So you guys were already engaged. Yeah. And we broke up for like three hours. Oh, come on. But the fact that you guys had the discussion, that is not good for the things to come. That is not a good sign for the times to come.

24:50Because let me tell you, that's in the back of his head. That's in the back of his head. You guys have these conversations? He stacks this up every time you go behind his back. Stack, stack, stack. Hey, future wifey, I want to pay off that. Stack, stack, stack, stack, stack. Makeup, makeup, makeup, makeup. Hey, can we prioritize paying off this debt? Stack, stack, stack. Going out to eat. F*** you, f*** you, f*** you. It's just gonna, you think he, have you guys delayed the engagement ever? Delayed it? The marriage. Oh, no. Getting engaged, okay. I'm honestly surprised. Honestly surprised. How do you guys even pay your bills?

Read the full transcript

25:26Because I assume you guys have the maxed out, you max out this early pay. How do you guys pay for things in between then? Because there's no way. Unless you have every early pay that's ever been invented, but even then you're only paying them back and then having to borrow again. Well, there are certain ways that we get around like paying off certain advances. We each have a savings account and we will pull the money from the checking into the savings account. so that way it stops from auto-drafting. And that way we can pay whatever bill is most important, so like rent, truck note, whatever, all that.

26:06That's$800 in savings. We're not going to be able to do that forever. What are you talking about? You ever borrow money from family or friends? Yes, yeah. Oh, for f***ing sake, what? How much? How often? Not much and not often. Right, which is, by the way, why I have the note that you guys borrow from your mom once every paycheck. You liar. You're not going to manipulate me in this conversation as well. Yeah, I asked that question as a lead on because I knew the answer. Because they typed that answer to me as an interesting thing to bring up next. You manipulate him. You're not going to manipulate me.

26:41I've been in too many of these conversations. Okay? You borrow from your mother every paycheck. She spoiled you your entire life and now you come on here You try to pretend like, oh no, we're just struggling. Can't make ends meet. How often do you borrow? Oh, not that often. Every paycheck. The f*** are you doing? Why mess with me like that? You had the pre-interview questions with the producers. They know you. I don't. I go on blind with the audience. But they feed me things here. Here and there. You lied. Why lie to me? I thought we were just talking about friends. If we're talking, if we're talking, okay, yes.

27:27If we're talking about friends and family, yes, I do borrow from my mom once every paycheck. That's insane. How much? Usually just like 50. And I pay her back the next paycheck. That's insane that you have to pay. You're fucking pay advancing from your mother. You realize how insane that is? No. I'm going to be honest. No, I don't know how insane that is. I mean, she's my mom. She's my mom. She's supposed to help me out in times of need, isn't she? Oh, she's enabling the fuck out of you. Oh, mother, if you're seeing this, oh, cut this woman off. Cut this woman off. Banks, if you're seeing this, cut this woman off.

28:01Except you probably make a lot of money off of her, so I understand why you're not. But mom, at least cut her off. Oh, you've just been spoiled your entire life. You don't even understand how this could be considered bad. You're poor. And the friends? The friends doesn't happen as often as the mom. It's maybe like once a month.

28:26That's what you consider not month? Because mom's twice a month and once a month is not that month. What the f*** are you talking about, lady? What are you on? What the f*** are you on? What damage do you have? Oh, dude, what the f*** are you talking about? What the f*** are you talking about? That makes no f*** sense. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. What are you borrowing from your friends for? I'm borrowing from my friends for the same reason I borrow from my mom Why? What's the reason? I don't know the reason You haven't told me the f***ing reason It's usually Because we're out of advances To take out and we're out of Money and we need to buy Like cat food Oh f*** off the door Get your f***ing caked up makeup Cats come first Cats come first I I told you earlier I need makeup to go out in public like I can.

29:21No, you don't. You do because you're f***ing insecure. You don't need that. I mean, I grew up in a household where my mom told me that it was needed. Well, your mom's a b***h. And also, she funds your entire life. Don't listen to her. What? She's spoiled you in your entire life. Why are you listening to your mother on this f***ing makeup thing? You're not a kid anymore. I understand that if you're 13, she's like, put on your makeup. We're going to church. Gotta put on your makeup so the boys will hit on you at school. I don't understand. You're 24. You can make your own choices. I guess that's embedded in you.

30:03I get that. But it's still just like, I mean, you still want to listen to your parents, even if you're an adult. Your mother would shame you right now if you didn't put on 20 pounds before you leave the house. Absolutely she would. Okay. Absolutely she would. If she, like. So she looks like an insane northeast Italian mom? No. She's a little paler than I am. And she, no, she doesn't wear as much makeup as I do. But, like, I mean, I grew up with, like, 2016 YouTube where, like. You also grew up with real eyebrows. I did. Very true. Those didn't last long. Okay, go on, YouTube. Yeah, James Charles.

30:43Yeah, James Charles, Jeffree Star, all of that. I grew up with 2016 YouTube, so that's why I do my makeup the way I do it. You know they moved on. That doesn't mean I have to. I mean, I just, I don't know what to do with you. I just, I don't know what to do. What the f*** does your mom even do for a living? My mom does hair for the movie industry. How much does that pay? You're in Lafayette, right? Are they in Lafayette? No, they're in Lake Charles, but she goes to New Orleans. Like, she has an apartment in New Orleans that she'll stay at during the week. Is that a big movie city? Yeah, New Orleans is a huge movie city.

31:14Fact check? Okay, true. But yeah, she makes about 100K a year. How much do they make? My mom makes 100K a year. My dad, probably about 75. My dad works at... They do very well for what it's worth. Yeah. Oh, it's honestly just bad for you and your entire existence and your future that they have spoiled you, your entire life. I don't see it that way. How? Look where you are. Would you suggest to me you're in a decent place? I mean, no, I'm not in a decent place. So what the f*** are you talking about? How can you suggest that anything that has led up to your financial situation today can be considered good?

34:37What about his parents? His parents help us out as well. Oh, good f***, man. Oh, good absolute f***. Do tell. His parents actually are the reason why we were able to move to Lafayette. So... They covered the moving house? Basically, yeah. And they also covered some of his debt as well. They took out a loan. What the f***? And are they well off? Yes, they are. You guys are just using your parents. And he's just as bad in that case, it sounds like. He supports you guys borrowing 50 bucks every other week from your mom? No. Oh. Absolutely not. Supported borrowing from his parents to move? He hates having to ask his mom.

35:20Then what the fuck are you doing? But you're okay with it. You push for it, don't you? Yeah. Oh, you push to borrow from his parents? Oh, they do not like you. They love me. No, they do not like you. They love me. No way. There's not a chance in this world. Why would they? Like I said, great personality. Evil daughter-in-law coming in. Great personality. Where is this great personality? I haven't witnessed it yet. I could put it on for you if you want. I don't know. All you're doing is sitting over there sniffing. I mean, look what you're doing to her boy, their boy, their son. Then you go to them, you push for him to ask for money.

36:00Oh, gosh. How much did they give you for the move? I believe it was either$5 ,000 or$6 ,000. What the f***? Why did you need that? In what f*** world did you need that much money? So the$1 ,000 of it was for the apartment, and then the rest of it was to pay off his cash net loan. What the f***? Why? Why did they pay off the loan? Why did you need that to move? You didn't need that to move. it was a very I mean it's a high interest loan Cashnet has a company sucks they have the worst freaking interest rates but he asked for it I mean he was like hey I just need a little assistance getting out of this oh how are you guys going to sustain on your own if you guys don't get a massive inheritance and even if you do you're just going to blow it all by the looks of it so I don't know dude I don't even I don't know.

38:10Closed? It's a repoed? Oh, it looks like I haven't had a repo in forever. Oh, what the fuck are you getting repoed for? So, that's a fun story. Oh, fuck me. Basically. I don't even want to let her say it. I used to have a 2015 Buick Verano. It was a gift from my family because my great-grandfather had passed away. And I was 17 at the time. And I'm sorry, but also, what the f***? You've just been given everything forever. No wonder you have no respect for the dollar. Continue. So far, story not that thrilling. I was 17 when I got the car. When I was, was that 20? Yeah, I was 22 years old. Oh, my God.

38:53It's just a child. I was 22 years old. and the catalytic converter in the Buick Verona was going out. And instead of replacing the catalytic converter like I was recommended to, I instead— Yeah, why listen to people that know more than you? I instead called my fiancé and badgered him for 40 minutes to— No. Yeah, 40 minutes. And I convinced him to let me get a Ford Bronco Sport Heritage Edition. Year? 2023. Oh! In 2023, you got a brand new Ford Bronco? Yeah, it was. Oh, what a dump. What a f***ing. Oh, you f***ing convinced. Oh, this guy. This guy is such a pushover. What a f***ing. Oh, he needs to be able to stand up on something.

39:47Oh, what a f***ing. Oh, this guy. Oh, this guy. Oh, where is he? Oh, he knows I would just be ripping him three assholes right now if he was here. No wonder. My goodness, where the f*** are his balls? And what is wrong? Huh? I just don't like you talking s*** about my fiancé. He's a b***h. He's not. He let you, you have no money. You guys are dying in debt. You guys broke up over finances, well engaged, and he let you get a brand new Heritage Edition for Bronco because you cried for 40 minutes like a manipulative. So he's a... What the f*** are you talking about? Come on! Why would you even manipulate him into this?

40:35Obviously it did not work out. No, it didn't. I had the car. I got the car in January of 2023. And you qualified for this debt? No, sorry, 2024. And you qualified for this debt? No, he cosigned. Did he want to? No. Oh, you f***ing. You... Oh, you are making... Oh, you are harming my existence. Yeah, I definitely convinced him to co-sign with me. Oh, my goodness. This is an awakening. Yeah. And, yeah, I had the car January 2024, and then... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They're typing something to me. Oh. They said for you, not with you. You're twisting something. He didn't sign for me. He co-signed with me.

41:20He was your co-signer, though. He did this so you could get the car. He wasn't co-signing with you. He co-signed for you. Oh. Sorry, I don't know the technical terms about it. Guy, run. Run. What happened to the car? I had a retail job at the time. I was making$10 an hour. and the car note was$816. Oh, what was the balance? Uh, 38. Oh, for sake, what was the interest rate? That I don't know. I didn't pay attention to it. Oh, I'm guessing it was substantial. Who the f*** let you get a loan? $10 an hour,$40 ,000,$800 a month. What are you making a month? A 1 ,500? Yeah, I was making, yeah, yeah, just about.

42:26It was a great car, though. It helped us move to Lafayette. And I got to take it from you because you were dumb. Well, I surrendered it. I said it was a repossession. I surrendered it. It technically, it comes up as a repossession, doesn't it? Just because it was voluntary doesn't mean it wasn't to repossess you, little. They lost money You deserve that credit hit And now it's on his Yeah Oh Look at what your finances Your decisions Your actions do to someone else It's unacceptable You have F***ed him in so many Disgusting ways That are unacceptable Disruptible as someone that called themselves a partner.

43:14Okay, but I'm not the only one with debt in this relationship here. It's not about debt. It's how you did it. You made$10 an hour and made him cosign on a car payment you could never afford. How long did you hold it? Till April. So four months. Did you take it? Oh! What? Ah! Man. Oh, I feel my veins tightening. But that was why we ended up breaking up for like those three hours. No! Because he said one of the... Because he was engaged to a bitch. But yeah, one of the reasons he said he would get back together is if I gave up the Bronco. We were going to try and like trade it in for a cheaper vehicle.

43:52Trade it in. Oh, your equity position must have been. Oh, it was bad. Trade it in. Yeah. What trade in were you going to do? Trade it in. It was a Kia Forte,$25 ,000. I think it was a 2024, too. Oh. But yeah, I know that the dealer said we couldn't. And so I ended up surrendering the vehicle instead. Now we share a vehicle. I'm going to surrender my life after this conversation. Me. You know what's harder than trying to cancel a gym membership? Figuring out if your insurance actually covers anything. I swear, insurance companies must take a class on how to make this stuff as confusing as possible.

You can scroll through our engagement photos. Listen, I'm saying this is a solid five out of ten here. You can scroll through. We have engagement photos.

Are we going to move up in here? What degree do you have? Did you go to college? I did, but I dropped out. Oh. I was going for your theater. Uh-huh. Oh. Discover it.

You creature from f***ing Mordor. You have been hatched. You, what are you?

Oh, f***ing. Oh, my goodness. At least I know I get to count down the f***ing hours until I have to sit across one of these again. What the f***? How we got a link fee every f***ing month this year on the Discover It card, lady? We're trying to focus on paying off the cash advances. You have to make your minimum monthly payments on everything else still? What debt payment strategy are you doing? Huh? What debt payment strategy are you doing?

48:11The septum version? It's not getting you there. Yeah, I was going to say right now we really don't have a plan. It's just kind of sitting there. Then why did you say you were focusing on paying off the other things? You don't have a plan? What are you talking about? You're not focusing on those. You probably aren't focusing on those then if you don't have a plan and they're just sitting there. What are you talking about? We're focusing on paying the cash advances right now. You just said you don't have a plan. We're focusing on paying the cash advances right now. What does it have to bounce on here?

48:35It doesn't say, lady. Because you sent me the second page of the statement. It's the screenshot you sent in. I sent you the first one, too. Very, very productive to this conversation. Really appreciate it. Nope, I got it. Never mind. Keep it there. Keep it there. Put your phone away. $4 ,349. That is insane. That is fucking crazy. That is insane. That is more than your monthly income. I'm not just one card and we have documents to go through. You better believe it. Interest this year so far, 500 bucks. I mean, together, all the fees and everything. Oh, even the interest rate is just 1.99 % and you are f***ing that up somehow.

49:12You are f***ing that up somehow. What have you not f***ed up in life? Have you ever done something successfully? Yeah, multiple things. Name two. I have done multiple shows in theater and managed to get through all of them without messing up a line. Congratulations, you have no career in theater So I do not consider that a success Number two I got this job that I have right now How long have you had it? A year Okay Which, oh, yes So normally, like, used to I used to job hop a lot And I've managed to keep this job for a full year And I'm really proud of myself Wow, guys Our basic minimum of our responsibilities That's what we're That's how we make it through life, ladies and gentlemen when we pat ourselves on the back.

49:58You know why I know people like you? You know why you're okay and so nonchalant about everything? Look at you. The fact that you're satisfied with that, the fact that you're proud of that, you see that, you latch onto it like it's a grand achievement, and you think you are doing so well because of it, and nothing else matters. None of that other stuff can take away from it. You think because you have one good thing to latch onto, all of a sudden negates all the other that's attached to you. No, it doesn't. You're not a good person. You haven't accomplished much. You were at a job for a year.

50:38Thank you for the applause. Appreciate it. It's the last applause you'll ever get because you're never going to be in a theater company again.

50:49I don't even know what to f***ing know. It looks like the normal minimum is 113, though. 114.

53:39Good. Good. What are we doing? What is this? what is society? How have we survived? What the f*** are we doing? Why do you possibly Why do we possibly have 573.57 % interest rate debt? 573 % interest rate debt. What the f*** is happening? That's one of our cash advances. It's not a cash advance. No, this is a payday loan. Is that a cash advance? Or a payday loan. No, there's a huge difference. There's a huge difference. A cash advance is that you get you a little paycheck early and then you have to pay it off. And I said sometimes those can be a tool, sometimes abused. A lot of people get in a situation.

54:29There is no tool at a 573 % interest rate. There is no tool. That's not a tool. That's a nuke. What are you talking about? You're taking up payday loans and you think they're pay advances? I don't know the difference. I don't know a lot about finances.

55:43I don't know how to make it to this. What the f*** are you talking about? I'm sweating so much right now. We were going on a trip to Galveston. To Galveston! It was a Galveston! To Galveston!

If not help me, you could help my fiance. Yes, run.

58:09It's more help than I could ever provide. I don't know why I'm, why I, why should I stay seated here? Honestly, why? Why not? I could go out there and I could just enjoy my time. I could just enjoy my time. I could send Brandon home and highly encourage him to do a Twitch stream tonight and then I could just jump on and play video games with him. That would be more fun. substantially more fun. Why the f*** am I sitting here? Oh, sorry guys, I'm crashing on a little. Okay. I'd be willing to help you if you weren't a disgusting person.

58:45People aren't probably willing to tell you the truth. You use and abuse everyone around you. I'm willing to help everyone. Everyone that comes on the show, I'm willing to help. I've actually paid off people's debt behind the scenes. There's a few people that I have helped when they showed progress. I am willing to help. Why the f*** would I help you? What have you done to deserve help? You just want another enabler is what you want. You just want another enabler in your life. That's not true. You've been enabled and spoiled by your parents and his parents and him. Okay, no. That's not where I'm going with this.

I don't want to put him in that position anymore. I'm done. Like, I'm literally done putting him in that position. No, you would have done something. That's bull. You lied to me at the beginning about how you borrow from people. And right there was another lie. You might want to see that. You might want to say that because it looks good. You don't like that someone is judging you right now. It feels good to say that.

1:00:01That is a good defense statement. And some people might empathize. Those people are morons. You're lying to me. You're lying to yourself. No, you don't. If you had an actual desire to do that, you would have done at least one singular thing before this conversation right here to actually try to improve that between you and him. You've done nothing up until this conversation. done nothing, then you sat here, and now you want to try to say that you really want to change that? If you did, you would have at least put in an attempt. You haven't done one attempt. That's not true. Off, that's not true.

1:00:52Okay, so payday loan. It's literally$250.

1:01:01That's what you finance was$250. So we could go to Galveston. What the f***? So$250. Payment is... What's your monthly payment? It's usually a one-time payment of$305. Have you paid it?

The last couple years, I've been launching educational programs each quarter or so. And then we also launched our budgeting app. And tens of thousands of people have taken these programs and more than tens of thousands of people have downloaded the budgeting app. The fact is, as someone who wanted to go to college to educate people, I love working with professionals and making these programs that actually change people's lives.

1:02:32But the confession and realization is the more and more we make and the more and more I want to make to educate people on certain topics, the more expensive it's all getting. So I sat down with my team a few months ago and we started brainstorming a solution on this. We decided to rebrand kind of everything we're working on for the future and we've brought it all in as dollar wise. You got the budgeting app version, and then you got the education version. And what we're doing right now is bundling it all together for literally 80 % off. That is 8-0 % off. And we're calling it DollarWise Central.

1:03:04You get all of our educational programs that we've made and the premium version of our budgeting app all for one singular price. Again, it's literally 80 % off at DollarWise.com. Those links are also in the description below. Tens of thousands of people have changed their lives. You can too. and now for a lot cheaper, go to dollarwise.com. This is insane. This is insane. Why would you allow this? Why would he stay with this? Okay, did he know you were getting this? Yes. And his thoughts? His thoughts. I mean, he, it was like a family trip, so we knew we kind of needed the money.

1:03:46Go on. How does that make sense? It's a family trip, so we have to get a 500 % interest rate loan. Please, please connect those dots. Once again, we didn't have any money from our checks, and we were going on this Galveston trip with his family, and I knew we were going to need a little bit of money, so I asked him if I could get— 500 %? And he said? And he said, yeah. Call him right now. I don't know if he's going to call him right the fuck now. Register on network. You can only make emergency calls. It's an emergency. I understand that. Yeah, Wi-Fi. Can you call him on Wi-Fi on that? Like legit is not letting me call him.

1:04:38Close your phone.

1:05:11I'm gonna f*** is at a 792 % interest rate. What the possible are you doing? What the possible are you doing? That one, I really don't remember what that one was for, but that one we borrowed.

1:05:51Do you even know? Do you even know what this cost you? Didn't you borrow$500? Yes, yeah. What's your total you're paying back by the end? I think it was like$15, wasn't it? Or$2 ,000? $4 ,000. $4 ,000 for$500. $100.

1:06:16But that's why. Are you giving me a butt from that? No, I was going to say. You're giving me a fucking butt. What did we go to? The roller coaster park this time? No, I was going to say that's one of the ones that we were going to try and pay off like with more than the minimum payment. We weren't going to do the minimum payment. Says the person with negative money in their checking account. Fuck you. That's a great plan with no action ability that you're able to do behind it. What are you talking about? What the f*** are you talking about right now?

1:06:51Katrina, if you're listening this time, you don't need to target New Orleans. Go straight to Lafayette. Hit that s*** hard. Hit it hard.

1:07:06What the f***? Oh,$500 pay. And then your finance charge on top of that is$3 ,500. What are you? What the f*** even are you? I'm going to say the balance of this right now is... I don't know. I'm going to say the balance of this is$1 ,000. Of course, you're going to be paying a lot more than that. What are you? This is crazy. This is gross. What did you borrow for? I don't remember, to be honest. We just, I think. We don't even know, man. Just a situation. Probably groceries, to be honest. What's a minimum payment of$305?

1:07:57Paid biweekly. Split in half. This is from earlier this year. We're not officially halfway through the year yet, and you don't know where this is from, this literally life-destroying loan, you don't know where it's from. Earlier this year, a few months ago. I remember taking it out. I just don't remember what it was for.

1:08:30They started garnishing your wages from this loan? Yes. You gave them access to your account? Yeah You gave them access to your account This isn't a government They can't just garnish unless you give access

1:08:54I'm sweating so much I'm sweating so much And this is so You don't understand You don't understand At this point Actually do I have empathy for you and how you do things. Boop, boop. Bye-bye. You're f***ing. But this is affecting so many other people. This is affecting your fiancé, which honestly is probably more involved in honestly enabling this more than I'm giving him credit for. Well, this is insane. This is insane. Why would you give them access to your f***ing payroll information? I thought it was required. for this loan probably because look at it. They're going to make$4 ,000.

1:09:41I'm just saying. A part of me wishes I was morally bankrupt. Look at this. I make good money doing this. Don't get me wrong. But look how much more money can be made out there if you just have no morals. They gave you$500 and they make$3 ,500 of profit. Oh my goodness. What the f***? What the f*** are we doing? Oh my gosh. Why sit here and film with someone who's a disgusting person when I could just be giving out loans to disgusting people and ruining their lives? You're breaking records over here, girl. It continues. Oh my f***, it continues. Good f***.

1:10:36I've lost it I've lost any will To survive I've lost any Just What the

1:10:50What am I doing This is at a 591.87 % interest rate You borrow$1 ,000 For this one It goes up every time you pay back a total of$4 ,413. For what? That one was also, I mean, we were in the negative. We needed money for groceries. So we took out, at first it took out$600. And then at another point, they let me refinance it for the full$1 ,000. So I refinanced and took out the other$300. This is the refinance? Yeah. She refinanced to 597 % interest. 91. Refinanced to 591 % interest.

1:11:41I'm going to say the balance is$1 ,750. The payments are insane. The payments this month alone are$464. $465. That's your monthly payment.

1:12:00and why did you take this out be real come on why did you take this out I know the answer we refinanced it for why did you take this out why did you take out the original loan the original

1:12:17because you didn't have enough PTO and went to go see your friends oh yes that is why we took out the original one sorry that's from like that's the one that was long, long time ago. Yeah. Long, long time to go to her is last October. It was, yeah, during Hurricane Francine and I didn't have enough PTO, so I took a train to Illinois. Stayed there for two weeks and then came back, but I needed money for like, you know, groceries while I was staying with my friend.

1:13:04What is this lending club loan for? What is this lending club loan for? You owe$243 from lending club. The minimum monthly payment of 58. What is this for? China. Do you know one single thing? Do you know a literal one thing? how have you made it this far in life? Apparently it's his loan. Oh. And you didn't even know that. You didn't even know the difference between his loan and your loan. I'm, oh. It all just blends together at this point. Oh my gosh. Where did Logan Paul go? He went to a forest that I need to visit for myself real quick.

1:13:57Lending Club

1:14:03Yeah that one I literally do not know I don't recognize Lending Club Well he owes$243 I don't know what the interest is because it's a screenshot from his credit report $58 minimum monthly payment

1:14:22Why don't I see just a random cash app screenshot? That's my cash app statement But they give me cash advances as well That's like one of the advances Which can, if properly managed, be a tool But my goodness, just like a credit card Most people, they're f***ing Okay, so you owe$150 I did pay that. But then I took out the$300 that they offered me today.

1:15:01Ladies, what the f*** are we doing?

1:15:11I just don't know why. Why have you done these things? You're coming on the show today! You're coming on the f***ing show today! I need a little bit of gas money.
