0:30I'm 26. Hi, I'm Spencer. I'm 27. We are from Brandard, Minnesota. And this is Financial Audit. Oh, Minnesota. Yes. I love it. Fellow Midwesterners, thanks for coming down. What do we do for a living up there? Let's start with you, Amelia. I am a stay-at-home mom. Oh, yeah. Okay. Not a lot of income comes in from that, but there are definitely important duties. So, okay. I'm assuming then we're married. Yes. We have one kid. Age? She's about to be six. Okay, very cool. So six-year-old. So she's in elementary school. I homeschool her, actually. Oh, okay. So how much are you bringing in, Breadwinner?
1:13It depends on how many days I work a week. Between$8 ,000 to$1 ,000 a week. $800 to$1 ,000 a week? Okay. What's the job? I own a business. I do third-party delivery. Okay, like Amazon third party, like last mile stuff? Nah, appliance delivery. I was doing some Amazon delivery for a while. And you own the business, so you can't contract out to the companies? Yeah, I can. Oh, wonderful. Okay, and are these pretty consistent clients? So the third party company I third party through, they give me everything every day, and then they set up my routes, everything else like that. I have my guys work out, and then we go from there.
1:53You have guys? Yeah. How many employees do you have?
1:59five including me six there's an extra guy but max max max max you make 52 000 hours a year uh that's without the business aspect of it yes that's what he pays himself yes what's without the business well yes afterwards yeah so are there too many miles for you to run like why do we have these if you're only bringing in 52 which there's nothing wrong with 52 but a 52 is what you're walking away with are you working as hard as you can before i'm getting vibes of no over here he has not been working very many days lately so this is the slowdown month and then we just started picking back up again so my main option is giving my guys about the same amount of days as i'm working too so they don't quit i think he's the boss he should work the most amount of days it's his company if he needs the money well okay i mean i get it to a certain extent if this you know business started going downhill like everyone would get paid before me in the end right when times are good you get more when times are bad i think that he should work the days that he needs which means they would be getting nothing though and they might so i kind of i do kind of get it to a certain extent but also at the same time how frequent is this because do we need this many people um so i have two trucks two guys a truck so then i own the trucks no i'm renting them i plan on owning my own so then we can actually make more money through you're blushing yeah this is just my natural red sheets oh okay yeah oh okay okay thought you were nervous and you're gonna flirt with me or something okay okay so uh sorry go on so i some people only want to work three to four days a week some people want to work to six days a week so it's Just for me to alter.
3:51Do you need them all? Kind of. Well, if somebody needs a day off, then he's going to need a person. Five including me. So he has one extra guy. Yeah, I have one extra guy. So that's if the other people need days off, I have a cover. So then my trucks can still. And what are you doing? I'm working every day that I can. What's your work? I do the same thing they do. I'm out there doing the same work. Okay how much are you paying them? Sam and I get paid Does that make sense? Well he's doing the same work Yeah but you started the business at the same time I mean it's okay if you do He does use money out of the company If we need groceries or something he'll pull it out of the company You guys have debt to pay so I'm just trying to prioritize I was doing this a little bit before I started doing my own business type thing before that i was getting way less days wasn't making any money so then i started the business aspect of it so our work is basically what to set pay amount i give them and i feel like it's unfair if i pay myself more um unfair i mean that's a interesting question well well you did start the business did you you took on risk by you know getting the vehicle so i mean there are different aspects of it if i but i'm not against equal either i mean you do whatever you want your business you like literally it's up to you and the market will decide well yeah workers whether or not they stay or leave and yeah him using like any extra money if we need it he pulls it out of his business i do i don't like so because i like to have it separately from what we i'm just concerned about the debt okay so where are we today what is what is going on here because we do have debt sounds like a consistently inconsistent income because it was 800 to a thousand a week so i mean yeah it can fluctuate pretty far and so that's why like well pretty far that's only two hundred dollars am i getting the full picture then well he can go anywhere like this week he worked three days which is six hundred dollars but then he can work other weeks where it's six days and that's twelve hundred dollars yeah and so it's hard to put an average on a number like that how much did you make last year uh with the business part 60 you know it's just six months okay so what's that's more without the business part of the income added in me myself i only make about around the 52 but with the business it's around 120 oh oh after all expenses after all expense without any expensive it's around half a million but with all the expenses so how much is hitting your account on a monthly basis on average hitting your checking account pulled from the business distributions and pay on average what is your business set up is this S-Corped?
6:36I'm 1099'd and then my through your business? Yeah but what's your business setup as? LLC. And you contract yourself? So I'm contracted through the company I work for and then my guys that work for me are also 1099. That means everything you're taking from your company though. If you're distributing it are probably distributions and not I don't know. Is it going through we'll figure it out. I have an accountant and they help me figure everything else. So I pay the trucks. I would say on average, most weeks he brings home$1 ,000. Yeah. Out of his paycheck. Just paycheck. Just paycheck. $1 ,000 paycheck.
7:22What I pay myself. I don't. Yeah, which is probably just distributions in the company, but it is. You're also$10.99 from the. So like during tax season, that would be like his paycheck. It's$1 ,000 a week on average. No, I understand that. I understand that. I file my taxes with the business. How much came in last month, huh?
7:47Indoor checking. Which one? Yes, including transfers from the business, checking into personal. So this all goes into personal. $2 ,500. Maybe like four or five. So you're double her. Why? Why are we not together in any way whatsoever? Do we budget together? Are you informed of your finances in any way? you didn't work that much last month are you guys together in the finances do we know the finances are we do we discuss finances are we a partnership in the finances we are a partnership in the finances um but some of it is i am a um person that is if i don't know what our finances are i'm not stressed about it and so he runs the finances and tells me what i can and can't buy if that makes like if i want to go get something i can ask him hey can i go buy this and he'll say i don't have the money for that or i do i let her know like we can't afford that we can't afford that what do you define as afford you guys have that we do have debt yeah do you guys know how much that you have yes to be together yes both of us together i would assume that with the cars it would be like yeah what's your total debt what's your total debt it'd be like 55 000 with the cars yeah around there with the cars okay 61 so we don't know our total debt yeah wonderful okay and what came in 2500 we had transferred from business checking 3664 okay we setting money aside for taxes properly no because we have a previous year tax bill of eight thousand dollars that we haven't touched yes so the beginning of this year really slow down so everything i did have saved up for it kind of went back into the business aspect.
9:29Just so curious. I know we can't hear. Man, I would love to just follow your business for a couple weeks. I just really wonder if we're using everyone effectively because when we have these slow down periods, it's boning you. Well, it's very hard when you have a truck off. And so because he rents his trucks, what is that, like$3 ,000 a week? $860 a week per truck. So around$1 ,700 a week. So if one truck doesn't go out, he's still paying on it. Yeah, it's a set. Why haven't we invested into purchasing or getting a loan on a truck? I need even. Apparently, I need 20 % down for a commercial vehicle.
10:06Okay. Why haven't you don't not make money? I know. Right. Why haven't we? We. That wasn't an answer. I'm going to.

10:44Terms apply. To be really honest, when we have a lump sum of money, it doesn't last long. Why? A lot of it's me. I'll be honest. Why? I'm a spender. I thought you said you only spent what he says you're allowed to spend And he says I'm allowed to spend Why are you saying she's allowed to spend it if she's not allowed to spend it Because we don't have any money to spend I feel bad most of the time Because she's at home Constantly She doesn't really She doesn't have to be Send the little sh** to school And then leave the house and roll around in the snow I cannot send her to school Go on I have something, it's called emetophobia And I have OCD from that so i'm gonna need a little explanation on something i've never heard of emetophobia i'm my number one fear ever is puke i can't do anything and so like good so if she's not there you won't see her puke but if i send her to school she's gonna get sick and that's like i have okay so i have ocd and so like even if it doesn't happen wait my brain says it's going to okay i understand oh hold on hold on okay sorry i vaccine parenting i'm sure it's obnoxious well at least let me say this uh you can i understand homeschooling for whatever reasons in terms of this is what you want them to learn and focus on believe all that stuff you know whatever okay that's that's how a culture works but to take them away from social interactions in general under the fear that they might get sick?
12:19Does that seem fair? Because she's not going to school, but is she still getting social interactions? Yes. Okay, then she can go to school then because it's going to be the same thing. I don't want her to show up to college and never met a human. I want to share a message from today's sponsor, Melio. If you're a business owner like myself or the guest on today's episode, then you've probably worked with vendors who don't accept credit cards as payment. And yeah, that can be a major headache. But that's where Melio comes in. Melio offers a user-friendly payment system for businesses that can be used from any device anywhere.
12:57With Melio, you can easily pay your vendors using your credit card for a small fee of 2.9%. Your vendors receive payments according to their preferred method, whether directly into their bank account or paper check. A huge perk is that your vendors don't need to register with Melio to receive payments. When you pay your vendors using a credit card, your business can maximize its cash flow while also benefiting from cash back, welcome bonuses, reward points, and any other incentives provided by your credit card company. You can even use your card to pay vendors, even where cards aren't accepted.
13:30There are also other same-day payment options available like Fast ACH or Instant Transfers. And Melio also seamlessly syncs with QuickBooks and Xero, so you can focus on your business and don't have to input your transactions into your accounting software manually. Melio also has a special promo for iOS users for new users who download the app. So click Download Now and leave your email for you to receive a$100 discount on fees when you pay using your card. And thanks again to Emilio for sponsoring this episode. Well, I mean, she does like gymnastics and, you know, some sports. And why don't you get it?
14:06Listen, I'm not saying this would be great. I'm not saying this would be great. But, you know, just to give them a little more. Yeah. What if they get sick? Just go to a hotel for a weekend and dad will be sick. He can't. He can't take work off. That's part of the problem. Kind of. I mean, you have so many people. He cannot. If his route gets dropped, it's like an$800 fee. But other people can cover that route. Yeah. I don't like not having to work unless I absolutely have to. Listen, I'm just trying to find a solution. Yeah. Everything's a no, no, no. I've talked to him about it before because I have very bad panic attacks.
14:45I do too. I get it. My mom has offered like if she were to get sick, like she'll go pick her up. So go do that. But I'm afraid that she's not going to be available. And then she's going to be like, well, you're going to have to go get her. be a mom i mean no offense i mean i'm just gonna say this just my panic disorder holds me back that sucks for me but if my panic disorder held back a loved one and living their life that's not acceptable i don't get that choice and control i don't think you should either no i yeah i've thought about this a lot i don't think it's time for any more thinking i think it's time to bye-bye kid go leave the house it's just it's just kind of just you just this is something needs to be taken and also the longer you put this off the same with me getting on a plane the longer you put it off the harder it's gonna be you're never even gonna allow them to leave the house in middle school for continuing if we're this far yeah dug deep at six right now i don't leave the house in the winter i try not to at any any point if i need to leave the house it's going to be a panic attack and the kid she she has shown like symptoms of being afraid of germs well and probably because of you yeah it it does break my heart that's this i don't think we could allow this yeah what do you think about this i'm sorry that we haven't gotten into finances but this this is my mom thinks it's ridiculous or not like she's not mean about it but it is order and I understand your things that you have to work on.
16:14Yeah, and I do feel like I'm holding her back. You are holding her back. It's not a feel. Right. You're already getting her into a phobia. That's what I'm afraid of, yes. At six. Yes, I'm afraid that she's going to have my phobia. And it's so hard to live with. Like, I do not want her to have that. You're saying that, but you are causing it. So just stop. When you get home, I'm sorry. What? No, I know. I know. and i've i've heard it before and it sucks but yeah what do you think about this dude i try to help her not be that much panicky what i i well that's not gonna happen it's really not i know it's more she needs to work on coping mechanisms and go through therapy aggressively essentially but even still regardless of your feelings you can't just hold someone back that's what i want your kid's not leaving the house and they're developing a phobia at six because of this what do you think dude well it's smart for her to wash her hands and stuff after going to the bathroom and i who the said it wasn't what are you talking about there's and what i think there's a difference between leaving the house and washing hands well we do leave the house doesn't mean i wipe my ass with my hands and rub it places right no she the the things that i'm seeing are like she would you know she has to wash her hands she has to do this um which like isn't bad at the moment but in a six-year-old right it can become compulsive and that's what i've heard also yes and so like i have talked to him what's the solution what the f are we doing guys this is insane right i would i have always wanted to talk about this this isn't even on the list is it no probably not we were yeah well i knew that it was probably going to come up once it was senator i knew somebody was going to say send her to school you know what i mean like yeah because my mom says again i'm okay with homeschooling it's not necessarily yeah she is she is pretty far ahead but i'm worried about her social ability yes okay you said she goes out and does stuff what is that um she has gymnastics we have she's gonna get sick during that as well she wears a mask you make her i make her wear a mask yes oh please please please please we wear a mask if we're like in the cities in the cities yeah like no matter what time of the year it is like she's wearing a mask if we're in a large crowd of people if she was immune compromised i would understand if it was a middle of a pandemic i would understand right but it's not anymore you're just like i I don't want to see her throw up.
18:56Yeah. I'm going to force her to hold on. This isn't. No, she will literally start to be like judged by other people and isolated. Well, I feel so bad. She's not here. Is she? No, I feel so bad for her. Wait, how'd you get here? On a plane. Was this a big step for you? Yeah. Yeah. We wore masks. It's not winter. It sounds crazy. We wore masks and I wiped down our plane seats. but what about this um i'm fine like like this um but it's like the large groups of people that i'm afraid of like planes are really scared like i get really scared on planes especially because of the feeling people throw up i had headphones in if i don't hear it it's not happening but what the this isn't it's just not fair to her you can't do this you can not push your issues under her no and like there's i don't think there's anything wrong with like being cautious of you know like touching your mouth and face in public and stuff but i know that i take it a step further a step during covid is a lot worse did that heighten oh i so she was actually in daycare i was working i was a single mom um oh and she is not biologically yours i adopted our daughter Yeah, she adopted.
20:16He adopted. That's wonderful. That's beautiful. OK. So, I mean, I had the fear then, but I didn't think about it all the time until it happened while she was in daycare. Like she got sick while she was in daycare. And then I was fine after. But then COVID hit and I had to stop working because daycare wasn't open. And I never went back because we met, we got married and now I'm a stay at home mom. and so i know that i'm digging a hole deeper in my ocd by you're making it worse because you're just not confronting it anyway right and i've done the same for mine but again i'm not forcing anyone else to do anything because right you can't do this you can't do this i don't know what's uh what's the solution guys because we need to move on to the from this and go to the finances but what is the solution because i feel so bad for her and this is not it would either be able to have him on call to leave work or i would be able to ask my mom to like if she ever does get sick to come get her to pick her up from school if you don't allow your kid to go outside without being completely separated by everyone with a again i again if something's like raging across the world i get you know that's not bad it's just the you're separating her from everyone essentially right you're making it hard for them to read her face and just have those human interactions right and you're not allowing her to go to school again if there was a different reason okay but like i will personally come up there and vomit on your face if you do not like allow her to just leave the house we do okay okay there is one more thing that i want to bring up part of the reason she is homeschooled and it is not the only reason is my ocd she's online homeschooled she's online homeschooled i'm just talking social interactions yes but she is very far ahead she can read books Yeah, maybe she'll skip a grade.
22:08Like, that's great. Right. It's great. She cannot enter the workforce. She cannot enter college. I don't want her to end up like me. She goes outside and it's 25 and we've cured every illness in the world or something. But yet she is just like wearing a hazmat suit everywhere. We go to the grocery store or we bring her to the movies or bowling. We don't put the mask on. Why gymnastics? Because it's full of kids. You should see the kids that we see. No, they're disgusting.

And you can come on the show at calebhammer.com slash apply. Come visit us in Austin, Texas. Let's jump into these finances. It's been a lot of talk. But it's time to get real. Target. Yeah, I blame my sister portionally for that one. Sister, your credit card, your sister? What the f*** are you talking about? She brought me to Target over and over again. It's my own doing. Yeah. Huh? It's my own doing. What does this mean? What do you mean she brought you to Target over and over again?
28:31She kept asking me to go to Target and I had a Target credit card. And I didn't have any willpower. And I just bought what I saw. So what? You're just walking through the aisles to Target? Yes. We haven't used it since that debacle happened. The debacle? Wait, what's the debacle? I racked that up in a month. Yeah. I applied for the credit card. Did you go all the way to the limit? 2000, yeah. When? A year and a half ago. Why is this taking so long to pay off? Guys, what are we doing? Why are we only doing the minimum payment? It's going to take seven more years to pay off. I keep forgetting that card exists half the time.
29:09Well, I don't think we're allowed to forget that the card exists half the time. Not anymore. Not ever. I don't know. What do you mean? You have a kid. Probably want to send him to college. Probably want to help him with that. I think part of that issue is that it's always due on the second. And we have rent. Put it on autopay. I don't give a shit. Yeah, we always forget about it. $30 minimum. $10.85 of interest is accruing. That explains why it's not really getting paid off. Yeah, that's why it takes seven more years to pay off. Do you want to... Are you going to get a job again? Are you able to?
29:44Like, if we get them to school, are you able to go and interact with people? Yeah. Yeah, for the most part. It's definitely like a learning curve. I did get a job. It's only a 10 % interest rate on this card. For a credit card, that's still horrible. But for a credit card, it's surprisingly low. I have had a job, and then I ended in a panic attack when they had me clean the bathrooms. And I quit. Okay, so that was like a retail type job. Yeah, it was a gas station. But bathroom, because there might be vomit? Just germs in general. so like my ocd stemmed from emetophobia but it's really contamination ocd i hope you didn't touch clara she's infected with cooties but before that sanitized did have a job for a few months yeah i did i worked at costco one time you guys love costco we'll go there um okay it's not it's not perfect but maybe we could help okay maybe there's like a work from home call center type job yeah customer service i think course careers has a certification customer service i think you go through their like quiz that helps you find the right certification for you go through that pick one and we can gift it to you for free i can boost your resume maybe you can work from home yeah once your kid's gone but i also don't want to fully enable you not leaving the house no like i am fine with leaving the house myself i don't touch my face you got to take a massive in the middle of public.

Like, I'm definitely better than I was a couple years ago. But you couldn't clean the bathroom? No. Because I'm like sticking my hand, well, I feel like it's like on me. On my arms and on my shirt. But you're okay wiping. It's my own. Ah, clean poop. Menards. I miss the Menards.
33:06We don't got them down here. We have a Menards Capital One card. I've never seen a Menards card, but I guess it makes sense. Every store has a card. So what are we doing? What the hell are we building? Are we building sheds? What do we have a huge Menards card? Beginning of this year, when I was doing Amazon, I needed a pallet jack. Kind of put it on that one, which is half that. Kind of put it on? I did put it on that one, which was about half what that balance is. Okay, and the other half? I'm going to probably random stuff. Fun fact, takes another seven years to pay off. $39 minute worth of payment.
33:48$18.04 of interest accruing on a monthly basis. Before this, I did have my own capital one, just a normal capital one. We paid that one off. We were doing the rainfall three months ago. The rainfall. whatever the snowball yes thank you no I like the rainfall that's when we're going to start putting it towards those cards but when when did you pay that three months ago what happened why haven't we started to accelerate that was when I started working one day less we stopped the budgeting we had a budget and we just we moved and then it never went back No, it was. So my brother lives with us currently.
34:34Before that. Brother? That one? Yes. Before that, I had my brother-in-law and sister living with us, and they moved out. So for that two months, we were paying everything on our own. So that's kind of what happened with that. Everything just went downhill. Yeah, we didn't make enough to pay our bills when we lived alone. Extra amount of our bills. We paid the bills. So your brother's your roommate then? Yes. Okay. How much of the bills does he help pay? He pays$600 for rent And that's with the utilities He pays He's buying the car from me soon He pays for the car itself And the insurance itself on it Okay We can unmute his mic for a second What do you do for a living?
35:18I work for my brother as well Are you guys just like Twins? What is happening? My brother-in-law that was living with us at the time too Also works for me what yes why is this weird mixing uh business and family i also have one of my friends worked for me too but they all friends is a little better if you separate boundaries but family i do set boundaries like you have a family is hard family gets emotional it can you haven't had something happen i haven't had it what has happened uh part of the reason they moved out is because they were spending too much time together. Him and his brother-in-law.
36:01They were spending way too much time together. Getting in fights. They were getting in fights about who's working more. How many hours they're getting. Blah blah blah. It was mostly our kid running upstairs all the time. What? Those are two completely different things. I think that was an excuse for them. They were talking about how loud it was upstairs all the time. but I think it was because right after that he quit and you hired him back. He didn't quit. He was looking for a better job apparently, but then he redacted his two weeks that he gave me. And you said this is brother-in-law, so it's your brother.
36:40No, his sister's fiancé. Yes. Okay. Okay.
36:49This family is intertwined. It's weird. It's complicated. Very. Okay.

Read the full transcript
37:36I didn't know that. And how loud was the house, Mr. Ryan? I'm sorry, what? Did you live there too? He does live there now. I just... Oh, yeah. How loud is it? I don't really notice it that much, to be honest. It's every now and then it gets loud. Maybe it was an excuse. I mean, kids are loud. They're stinky. They're nasty. But I get it. I kind of just, like, ignore it. Yeah. Well, I think because he quit, like, literally, he was put in his two-week notice, like, a week after he moved out. No, it was, like, a couple months after. I think he was afraid to live there and quit. No, so. Okay. I'm going to.
38:13I can't explain it on.
38:18Yeah. The real reasoning behind everything. Guys, you have deferred interest of a promotional balance that expires in three weeks. What is that? Wait, what is that? You had a 0 % interest thing that you took off and purchased the$500. It's probably your little tool. And guess what? The deferred interest,$61, is about to hit. It's about to slam this card. It's about to go up. $61 of built-up interest that you wouldn't have to pay if you paid it off in time. If you paid it off in three weeks, you would not have to pay that extra. But because you're not, the deferred interest plus one is going to accrue over the next three weeks.
38:54That is going to hit. We're probably going to have to work on that one right away. I didn't know that was a thing either. Guys. All right. What do we got? Those are the cars. Those are the cars. Yes. I spoke in your tongue. Your native Minnesota tongue. It's the accent. Okay. Okay. What am I reading? 17 ,000 vehicle, 22 ,000 vehicle? These are not the rentals. These are the ones you own. These are our cars. So you have two cars and then you rent two trucks? We have three cars. His is completely paid off. I bought it. What is it? How much is it worth? It's a 2002 Pontiac. It just gets me back and forth to work.
39:40Probably not worth nothing. Not worth nothing. Yeah, he bought it for that one. Why do you guys have two more cars with that? Well, one more. Okay, so my car is the CRV, and then his brother pays us for the charger. Even I specifically told him many times, don't. Don't what? He insisted on buying it from me. What were you going to do if he did it? I was just going to keep paying on it. But why? Why not sell it? Why would you have an extra car that no one used? We sold it to his brother. I was using it. Is it sold officially? No. He pays us for it. Why are you taking it? um i really need a car to get back and forth work as well which one is it is it the 22 or 17 17 can you afford 17 uh yes again he pays it okay why were you guys gonna hold on to it if he was it's not we can't sell it it's a it's a um salvage title nobody wanted it it especially they were like offering us like six grand and stuff for it that's it was what do you want um specifically this car it's a charger um i'm 18 oh sick wanted a new car yeah he wanted to be oh man you're gonna get so many women yeah i kind of made a mistake getting it at the same time though but really needed a car yeah i told him you're gonna date every escrow with my mom okay well i guess let's break these down when are you selling it when are you selling it when is this done when is this little exercise of brotherly love i want it in his name within two months.
41:10I told him to save some money for the down payment technically for the loan to go into his name. So he's going to take out a separate loan. You're going to take out a separate loan? I'm going to basically refinance the loan in my name. Yeah. Okay. How much do you have to put down? I'm going to try to do at least$1 ,500, maybe$1 ,000. What's your credit score? It's around$700. Have you gotten approved? Pre-approved? He hasn't done it yet. Why haven't you applied? I'm telling him to do it. Because I have no idea yet. We're still working on how to do it i already know how to do i told you click a link or talk to a dude yeah you first call the bank first uh we went through royal credit union i did get approved for that but they added an extra three grand on the loan for no reason so we said no to that the dealership that i got the car from is very scammy and that's why we were getting rid of the car beforehand what was the extra 3000 no idea no so like four months after i got the car two and a half years ago the drive shaft broke so then i got it replaced with the warranty and then that one broke also and warranty said you can't get another one so i had to wait a whole year and then i would try to cancel the warranty through the dealership and it took them five months to give it back to me and that was the warranty money off of it.
42:28It might be too much for you to qualify, but if things are getting worse, you might have to personal loan this thing. Even still, you don't need a$17 ,000 car at 18. But what are you going to do with it if not? So it's on both sides. It's worth $12 ,146. But salvage, though, are we sure? No, it's not worth that much on a salvage title. I had a truck loan stacked onto it at the time. I had it all paid down oh it's rolled over it was rolled over so what is this well first of all hold on i don't want you to buy a vehicle for 17 000 that's worth six thousand dollars yeah i did make a mistake of that but i kind of we haven't done it yet no but i did make a promise to him and i don't want to go out on that promise because i would mess him up even more in his financials what do you well he's saying he's saying he doesn't care no i i do care about him going back on it oh but i've told him many times i don't in the beginning before he even wanted it so what do you think what do you think what should we do what should we do about this car he chose his own decision it's already happening yeah it's on him okay so he can't back up no in your mind okay learning mistake at 18 yep that's what my mom said after he we all told him we said we'll sell you the car but just let you know it's not worth that much yep all for a charger so you could look like you're rocking above six inches you should see how much he gets pulled over and we're just assuming he can even get a loan though what if he can't uh i i know his credit score is decent but he might so he did do like the pre-approval and he needed a um co-signer which is my mom and then that he needed like two grand down this family he needed some money down and so the warranty money went into that as like money down but now they're saying he needs like a thousand to two thousand dollars money down to get this loan because he said he has a thousand he wants to get a thousand oh how much do you have uh none at the moment because i'm mainly paying him and with not enough days i've been just paying him with what for what car insurance phone oh the payment rent all the guys that's around 15 the car payment as well yeah he pays the car payment his car payment why if he doesn't own it but you're selling to him because he has the car he's had the car for two months so it's just the agreement we've had yeah and we just started picking back up so if he can't how often does the business slow down just twice a year two months out of the whole year why what's happening now that it's labor day sales between sales is when it slows down a little bit okay so it's right after christmas and then so we got the labor day fourth of july black friday black friday brings us all the way through winter yeah so really like the last two months are going to be slow we're slow and then now it's going to pick back up yeah and so we yeah so when we are busy i work five to six days a week.
45:30Okay, well, you still have the$17 ,000 car, so let's say that. Charger,
45:37$17 ,746.97. The minimum monthly payment of? $556. Interest rate? 8 %? 8.9 on the Charger, I think. Okay, not great. Yeah, before he wanted to buy it, I was going to refinance it and get it lower. And what's the other car? A CRV. Okay, we have it at$15 ,877 via your VIN. Yep. So you're underwater by about$7 ,000. Yeah. So my CRV, I did bring it to a bunch of dealers to see if anyone would trade me for a car that we could pay in cash. So like trade it down, pay the rest in cash until I realized that it's not worth that much. And so at this point, I told him not that we're stuck with it because I really like the car.
46:54Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
46:59But it's just like something that we can't get rid of at the moment unless we like super pay it down to get it even to how much it's worth. Y 'all need to treat this debt like it has germs. This is crazy. Okay, so$22 ,168.59. Minimum worth of payment? of 500. It's like 490. Long term? Must be. Yeah, I think it was like 72. And the interest? 12. It's getting worse! It's worse than the target card. Good death. Good death. Well, it was... So I originally had one, a CRV that had like a 3 % interest rate. And then when he slowed down and I quit my job i traded it in for a toyota not have the company at the time i was working for somebody else i traded it in for a toyota and then i traded that toyota in for a subaru i sold that subaru and that's why this is so much why have you not paid your taxes um my accountant at the time never told me that you had to pay taxes no he told me to pay taxes he never told me when they had to start making the payments on them well i didn't find out until they sent me a letter and they're getting your books in order and they're not your cpa actually told me he wasn't going to be my accountant anymore in july okay that he so then i found another one but he told me file an extension yeah i got everything already done figured out i already paid my state taxes that's the federal taxes so when i got the letter in the mail so i'm with federal because those after certain extensions with businesses are due in october no i said or no yeah that that's the the federal one But this was already due.
48:48This was already due. I have a monthly payment set up plan for it. You're on a monthly payment. What's the interest? There's usually interest. I think there's that much. I don't know how much the interest is on it. How do you not know? Well, I have a screenshot of an app, so I can't tell you. It was just online. Limited information,$8 ,060.30. Minimum monthly? $500. Great. so that's we're taking 500 hours away that probably needs to be saved up for next year's taxes yep yeah actually how much do you have saved up for next year's taxes so far because of slowing down oh good oh good listen you need to figure out because of slowing down you know the it's not because of slowing down you just literally named when it slowed down to me and when it picks up so you would know this you talk to the crew oh you guys aren't working this month i'm sorry we got it okay i i'm down with the pay the crew thing i'm down with the pay the crew before yourself absolutely but you know the crew doesn't get money if the business doesn't exist so the business goes under by you not being able to pay taxes that's a little different so there's emergency levels right if you're fed up with your current brokerage whether it's sneaky fees, lack of features, or you're just ready for an upgrade, Moomoo is the solution you've been waiting for.

51:45so we're spending all this money even though we have irs debt and not we're about to have irs debt again because we have nothing saved for the future taxes and they're they said they want me to ask you about a couch or something and like and i'm guessing we did something stupid with And we did something very stupid. What the f***? When you're going to have to pay taxes again, believe it or not, it comes every year. So what? What couch? So we went in because our couch broke. And we were going to buy a couch. Just like a small one. But we walked out with like a$3 ,500 couch. On a credit. Ashley Furniture.
52:21I've done that. Don't recommend it. I'm okay with the financing if you do it in a smart way. Should we do it in a smart way? We have zero interest for the first year. When does that end? We got it last month. Yeah, we got it last month. Is it deferred interest? Yes, I think it is. You didn't know that on the last one. I set mine off to pay in 12 months because I knew deferred. I love 0 % financing. I'll have to look into it more. Why don't you show me? It does not say anything. You haven't set it up yet? It is already set up. Through Sink and me, usually? No, through Wells Fargo. Oh. I don't know.
53:02Oh, you guys probably got approved for some shit alone. Honestly. Which means there probably definitely is deferred interest. Hang on, take a second. Hold up. I have, like, no service here. You didn't join? Why does no one join the Wi-Fi? I forgot that was a thing. There's a thing out in the lobby that's like, join the Wi-Fi. And everyone's like, ooh, snacks. Zoidberg picks snacks over Wi-Fi. so you owe 3500 it's like 31 uh i was expecting a crazier price tag because as someone who's done the furniture shopping well i've only gotten new furniture once and oh boy they do be expensive so i get it yeah and well it was our it was literally my dream couch i've talked about it multiple times couch yeah it's the fuzzy ones with the pleats down it so it's gonna wear and tear easy they said it won't they lied we have two cats and two dogs and it's a white couch but we got the warranty on it they said it does if anything breaks we can just get a new one sent over yeah breaks not worn down well they fix any scratches or anything like tears and rips well to a certain extent they said cat scratches okay be very careful because usually it's like, okay, maybe a puncture, but sometimes like an intentional, like they won't come.
54:30I don't know. I would. The lady who did it. No, it's not the lady. Yeah. She said she had cats. Oh, the person who wanted her commission. Interesting. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Yeah, I'm betting you're getting deferred interest. What's your minimum monthly payment on that? 117. So it's there? You found it? Yeah. It just doesn't say anything for interest at all. and you guys are not credit card people to be clear nope you need to use a charge card like the fizz card something where you put the balance on and you can only spend it but it still benefits your credit card it said it downloaded where would it have gone on this I don't know if you scroll down okay no it's not okay find it or maybe we need to join the wifi you didn't click on it yes I did I said it was downloaded and then I saw a download thing is that it?
55:19yes let me see let me have a little peek wonderful it's interesting how we're able to i did not know i could do that on things when we click buttons isn't it it's not the one year thing it's starting 40 and only one month so imagine that stacking every single month and it all hits your balance by the time a year from last month happens. $40 a month. $40. $40. Times that by 12, that gets added to your balance in a year. In 11 months. 11 months. What is that? Menards and then... Yeah. This is going to f*** more than the Menards one. Yeah. The Menards one is like$60 added. This is going to be$480 added to your balance for this special little couch.
56:13and then it's going to sit there at 28.99 % at least at this time. But it's deferring and it expires in 11 months almost to the day. Told you I knew it. Almost like I've been doing this for two and a half years. My mom's going to get mad. I lied to her about the price of that couch. Well, she tries to help the crazy thing is it's actually for furniture is just too expensive it's not the craziest price for a piece of furniture for a couch especially um especially if you're going to the dream coach but first you guys probably should enough but two it's the deferred interest that's about to kill you yeah but what what did you say it was a thousand that was the original amount of the couch we're looking at so my my mom what does it even matter you're 27 at six I care about her opinion and she like she knows yeah but what is she doesn't know half of this but she probably doesn't even know what a couch costs oh she yeah she does why would she care then she would be like oh you bought a couch well I told her it was on like a clearance sale but why you're just lying like she would have understood the price of a couch no because then she would have said you could have gone to like Habitat for Humanity and gotten a couch but those are old and a used couch you could have said you gotta if you're talking if you're talking to someone and and need their opinion to be good someone who's like me about every little thing don't talk to them they didn't even tell them i know that's like she's she's trying to help she has like helped me paid off credit cards that little kid's gonna just go to the mall one day get the stomach flu and gonna vomit all over that couch and you know then that's three thousand $6 ,500 down the drain.
58:04Yeah. That's what the warranty is for. They can clean up stains. Yeah, I don't think she'll ever sit on it again. No, probably not in that spot. Okay, what is all this? Okay, I see your credit report. 630. Cars, cars, cards. And then a closed account. Yeah, we've tried to pay off a couple credit cards over the last year. This is such a f***ing disaster. Okay, go on. Sure. What ones did we pay off? I paid off my Amazon card. I don't give a shit about that. No offense. I'm talking about the one that's closed. And you owe$1 ,465. Oh, that is my debt consolidation loan. That I had a couple years ago.

1:02:35when it's i guess on bs ice kind of ice and mountain that was the county session yeah wonderful now on these business accounts what the are we doing is this all gas uh the gas stations yes the speedways and cases and holiday station yep that's yes all this costco and you also have crunchyroll and entertainment and the episode hobby lobby tj max smoke shop who's getting lung cancer raise your hand if you're getting lung cancer both of you all right good we have a kid so maybe we don't anymore subway monopoly go not again what are you doing how much you spent on monopoly going a month that was that one time stop delete it burn it i told you not to spend money on that app that was the only time this is ridiculous what's happening on this card he spent six thousand four hundred dollars on there a lot of a business yes and the business was a lot of stuff just back and forth this the business checking accounts actually not that bad in terms of managing things the the card it was there was lots of bs on there still before i didn't use that one for the business because we had it more towards that and then i started using for the business and then we actually was able to pay more of it off but then more stuff being spent on it but it's mostly for work you say it's mostly for work but you pull it out when we don't have money so who's right both i am all the time 90 of it is for work purposes 10 percent of it is normal no i i would say money wise 90 is for work but usage percentage it's like half yeah somewhere around there again i wonder if you need all these employees well okay so like one does like front of the truck driving and the other one does back of the truck so one goes inside installs everything the other one is this is a two-person job no one person can't bring in a 500 pound for a job well i offer ryan i offer do you think that he needs every employee that he has yes absolutely okay at least at my company well our job i pay my employees on time oh that's good i'm just trying to figure out when you're not paying your taxes well i mean i'm making payments towards that some other people aren't you have nothing saved for your taxes upcoming so it's just like i don't know what you're talking my brain keeps saying like my most of the money i get from business keeps going towards the truck rentals my brain keeps saying once i can get my own truck in my name i'll be saving a lot not just your pay but money you're taking out of the business what how much money hits your account on a monthly basis your personal account average give us an average should be around five cool are you setting 25 % aside for taxes.
1:05:30No. We're setting 25 % aside for taxes. $3 ,750 is your income then. Welcome to the life of business owner. Ask corporate. Pay yourself a reasonable salary. Make your deductions. Make your distributions less taxes. I was told not to put my company into an S-corp. because then I have to pay them hourly which is hard to do with our job and then everything else. You can't contract out people with an S-Corp? S-Corps can't contract out people? I don't know. That would be interesting. I'm curious. I don't know. Okay, let's get your debt payments. So again, the money that hits your account this is after your truck rentals, right?
1:06:17In the business. Everything, right? Every business. Am I missing the charger? Because he pays it. But if he f***ing dies tomorrow, you're f***ing. That is true. Better get it out of your name, my friendos. Oh, good. Okay, one-third of your income immediately goes to debt minimum monthly payments. $1 ,242. Okay, what's your rent? $1 ,000. Your portion? Yeah. $1 ,000 our portion, plus utilities. Your portion of utilities and internet? about$300 to$400 depending call$350 is that including internet? car insurances? $175 for just us two your portion of the phone bill? $200 that's insane, do you owe on your devices?
1:07:09both phones and our child iPad as soon as you guys pay that off, switch to something like helium you guys gotta do a$20 a month option gas, room for room, drive, drive both of you combined uh a month yep 75 bucks maybe 100 because one tank lasts me a week 100 both you or 175 total i would say 100 both of us 100 both of us she doesn't go anywhere that often and then i just go back and two from work okay necessary food how does this work with uh different people living there like how how does groceries work at the house uh we buy them he eats them nope he gives us he's starting to give us extra money for set aside for food okay yeah so like his rent is rent utilities and food no more oh what's his rent 600 but now he's giving us an extra hundred dollars to cover food so it's yeah i don't think it's only a hundred dollars though it won't be if i'm doing you, you, you, and baby, I'd be putting you guys at at least $800 a month with meal prep.
1:08:17Yeah, that's like about what we spend. And he would need to give you about$200. You hear that? That's what we're going to start doing then. That's what you're going to start doing. That means it's going to be$600 from you guys. TP fund, this includes anything else you need to survive. This is makeup, anything for kids. That kind of stuff,$150 we're going to put in there. Medical healthcare co-pays. Well, you guys, neither of you have insurance? Does GoldRx? Yeah, I do. Okay,$400 a month. Let's get you both on health insurance. Let's see if we can record that. Subscriptions, no. Savings, no. We already did the 25 % set aside for business.
1:08:52And pets? We have four pets. Two cats, two dogs. Okay, food, how much? Probably about$100 a month. Yeah, with all four of them. Do you have pet insurances? No. Probably should or else you're going to get, but I don't know if we can even afford it. So trust me, I just had an emergency vet bill. $3 ,000. Oh my gosh. It happens. Dogs are stupid, especially the one that I have that consistently eats things that she shouldn't. She's like, nom, nom, nom. We got two black labs. Oh yeah. So, ha ha ha. I doubt you guys could afford that$3 ,000 and I also doubt you would let them die. No. So, with that, you guys are under about 500 bucks.
1:09:41Okay. And that's for setting money aside for taxes. You don't set money aside for taxes. You have money left, but you don't because you need to pay taxes, so you don't have money left over. Right. It's as easy as that. Yep, 567, negative.
1:10:00And that's with him paying his share and him paying his car. that's without the extra money the company makes which i said all together what amount hits your account i thought you meant in our checking hit okay that you take from your business that you take from your business on a monthly basis distributions and pay even though you're not set up for pay it oh that i would just do like an average because yeah average average it out what i take in total after everything yes around 15 no 17 to 25 because one week a month a week extra total total average total monthly that you pull from your business after everything is paid you know like when we go to the grocery store and we don't have money and you take it out of your business account or just tell me what you can distributions and your pay tell me what you can 7 to 8, sorry.
1:10:56A month? A month. Let's do 7 to be concerned. When the trucks do good, I make an extra 1. When they do good. When I have the full 6. So you're averaging still on 7? Yes. I can make between an extra 1 to 2 ,000 business side a week. Okay. 5 ,250 then after setting the money aside for taxes. Sorry, I am not the brightest when it comes to certain things. Oh, it's okay. I'm also a dumb f*** when it comes to a lot of things. So I get it. We all are. It happens. A lot of stuff needs to be dumbed down for me. That's okay. I got you, buds. 4 ,317 needed to survive. You actually have, if that is correct, and we're budgeting this correctly, which, big if, we have 933 left.
1:11:40That's a lot better. Yeah, that's usually what it feels like. But this is you guys living on your basic necessities. Yeah. Besides, again, the TP fund, it's 150 bucks. second no that that's why i was like really shocked when you said negative and i was like that shouldn't even be it at all yeah okay i mean with that you can take care of a lot of this pretty quickly yeah it's our brains telling us it doesn't need to go to that just buy something stupid first three months target and menards are gone three months after that ashley's gone cool six months ashley's gone target's gone menards is gone again city is very sorry actually Actually, sorry, first four months, Target Menards and your consolidation is gone.
1:12:26And then three months after that, Ashley is gone. So now we're seven months in. Okay? Okay. Cool. That sounds a lot more better. And after that, the IRS, check out the interest. It likely has interest or fees or things added. So we're probably paying that off and about at that time with the money left over. It's going to be anywhere from, it's probably about, well, actually, probably about seven months. seven months after that so we're 14 months in this is without you getting a job by the way and this is without your without your business like increasing yeah so this is with everything staying sagna but it's also without interest accruing okay charger we're gonna make him take it crv so we're keeping it we're not getting rid of it yeah that's just my car we also need the suv because the two dogs yeah but you can get an suv for ten thousand dollars right uh no i think at You could borrow the difference.
1:13:15You could have a$15 ,000 loan instead of$22 ,000. Also, it's 12 % interest. We do want to refinance that loan when the time comes. The time will come in about 14 months because your credit score will not be good until then. Okay. Yeah, the couch release might not. Yeah. Okay. Now we have an extra$1 ,500 to throw at it. So your review will probably be about, it's called 20 ,000. Divide that by 1 ,500. That'll take an additional 13 months to pay off. So if you really want to double your time to keep the thing, you can. It's up to you. Right. So we're a year and three months in. A year and three, two years, three months in.
1:14:06Two years, three months, all of our debt is gone. say we'll have a fully funded emergency fund we can round it up to about three years yeah depending you might be able to do it in two years and three quarters total but that's actually not that bad and that's again without any pay increasing anywhere from either side we do need a full emergency fund because last year yes three surgeries it was not a work for uh well also remember in your budget i did health insurance yeah yeah it's it's probably going to be cheap health insurance with higher deductibles but if you have big surgeries you're going to meet your deductible.
1:14:38I was covered still under my mom's insurance at the time because I was before 27. Not no more. Yep. So, health insurance tomorrow. Okay. Okay. Okey-dokes. Wow. What a mess. But, your cleanup is actually not that bad. It's literally just you guys budgeting. So, just budget. Just be some adults who budget. Who sit down, communicate, budget, budget, budget, budget, budget.
