0:00To watch episodes of Financial Audit a week earlier, check us out on YouTube. You've not applied to different things? No. Scholarships, grants, student loans. I'm not really a good person for a scholarship. Why? Because I am a white woman. Shut up. White students receive 70 % of scholarships. Really? Wow. Full tuition scholarships. Yeah, but you're white, so you can't get scholarships, you said. Hi, I'm Maya. I'm 24 years old. I'm from Vista, California, and this is Financial Audit. thanks for taking the road trip 1 a.m leaving that's crazy driving through the night in the desert but I felt crazy during it yeah well your finances are crazy so it's crazy reflecting crazy doesn't make sense what do you do for a living there I am a certified nursing assistant okay yes and what are we making in that position right now about$20 an hour now this is where I sit outside of San Diego right yeah how is 20 hours an hour stretch in there um not well i would say it probably would do me better but my hours are kind of dog what's he getting uh right now i upped it to seven days a week how many hours are you getting four huh four no a day oh a day what okay why is it so little At least what I'm working with right now is an agency.

1:27And so the client that I'm working with only has like a certain hour frame. But you applied at a hospital then? I did. Oh. So, and I did get accepted. You got the job. But it won't happen for a bit. What's a bit? Like a month. You don't have that tattoo because of me, do you? No, but I thought you'd say that. Don't worry. Don't get too conceited. Should be. Well, come on. Uh, okay. And how much are you going to make in this job? I will make 23 an hour. How many hours a week? 36. Okay. Well, how's living in the area going to be on that? Well, right now I kind of live with my parents. Kind of live with your parents.

2:11I do live with my parents. As in you live with your parents. Okay. Well, that takes a big chunk of your needs out of the gate. Yeah. That makes me then wonder, because usually if living expenses are too high, sometimes we go into debt to survive. but we have the debt anyway. Honestly, that leads me to your hobbies. I never get a hobbies point. I have notes here, and I never have hobbies. I don't go look through the hobbies, but what do the hobbies read? Likes to eat out. DoorDash slash Uber Eats. Dating. Likes to buy people meals. Buying people gifts. Tattoos. Vaping. Probably not the best hobbies.

2:53Across the board, it's not bad, but the buying people meals thing with our finances. So we have debt, but those are our hobbies. Okay. A thing about that is I don't like when other people pay for me. So I kind of always insist on paying for everyone else. And it kind of feels that it's like something that can be held against me. Like, you know, okay, well, I paid for this. So now you like have to have me or now. I know. And I have a hard time with that. So instead, I just insist on paying and then that takes out of the equation. But then I would say you paid for me. Now I feel like less of a man I deserve to be slept with.

3:41How about that? I never thought about that. So, well, I hope no one actually says that. But OK, so what is going on? why are we in all this debt because again you're living at home one of your big needs it's taken care of well some of it isn't exactly from me um some of it like my dad has opened three credit cards in my name in your name in my name over the course of how like since i was 18 since i could get a credit card so over the last six years he's opened three cards in your name yeah what is he doing with this doordash he's just doing doordash yeah that's one of your hobbies yeah it runs in the family so you're both doing okay so he's cut back though i've cut back a lot yeah that's what everyone says before they come on so but he huh nothing i said i swear but he took what so that's what he's spending the money on what was was there an intent was Is there conversations around it or did you do it behind your back?

4:47Okay. So one of them was done completely behind my back. And that was a card that he exclusively used on his own. Two of them were done with kind of he did it and then he told me. But I am kind of the one that uses those. I think though the one of them it was because one of our cars were gonna get repoed so he needed to take out a card in order to pay off the fines and then also there's um the loan um the green sky loan is in my name but did you ever see any of this money no okay but there is that in here that is yours as well right yes so it's a combination yes how's your relationship with your dad now um on the mend okay go on uh basically a few weeks ago it all kind of came to a head and i got a few weeks ago yeah and i got pretty pissed off at something and everything kind of spiraled and threatened to pay for his meal uh no uh he probably would love that but actually uh you know we ended up getting into a huge huge fight and so like it got a little physical and physical yes how um like pushing okay and um so essentially he needed to he left he like went across the country and like went and stayed with his sister because we just like because you two yeah what about mom she there yeah what was her thoughts on this she thought it was best that he leave too at least for a bit okay go on it was just so toxic no i gotcha go on where are we we're explosive so So basically he went out and he went on the East Coast with his sister and we had like a mediation and talked about some of the things.

6:58And I told him that, you know, one of the big things is because I feel like I'm stuck in a hole. Part of which, yes, I have dug myself into. Today's video is sponsored by Aura. And it's a really important time to be talking about them because hackers may have stolen the social security numbers of every American. Over 2.9 billion records were stolen from national public data, which provides personal information to employers, private investigators, staffing agencies, and others doing background checks. These stolen records include a person's full name, address, date of birth, phone number, and most importantly, social security number, all of which have been released online for free.

7:36If you weren't taking precautions with your personal information online before, this should be a huge wake-up call. You've never been more vulnerable online than you are right now. But I'm not worried about it because I use Aura. Aura monitors your personal data, including your social security number, across billions of data points like the dark web and public court records to detect and alert you to potential identity theft. And they give you up to$5 million in identity theft insurance should the worst case scenario happen. They also provide a bunch of other features to keep you safe online all inside one app.

8:10You can go to my link at aura.com slash hammer to try 14 days for free. And that'll be enough time for Aura to find out if any of your personal data is exposed. I highly recommend you do this right now. Because not only is national public data not going to do anything to help you, they probably aren't even going to face any repercussions for this leak. I'm not leaving myself and my family vulnerable to data breaches. And if you don't want to either, you can go to aura.com slash hammer to try two weeks for free. well i was gonna say i asked so what's going on here and you immediately go to what your dad did yeah but i if it's only three deaths we have well more than three so there's a lot in here that is yours as well yeah and listen i get that that is bad that of him and he should take care of it at the same time you didn't bring up any personal responsibility stuff until i did you immediately only started with what he did which again out of the control that and that is a part of the answer but what about what you've done i went into a black hole of spending i went into retail therapy i went into over when when for what because of this like probably this entire year at least from like january up until now what does that mean what does that look like that looks like me spending twenty five hundred dollars on a trip oh good to where whales what's in wales my friend went to college there and so went yeah she lives in the states now but she was in wales her i went to see her she lives in the states now okay so you did that this year like the end of last year okay well you said this year so what does it look like food concert tickets hotels okay so you're just living subscriptions a lot of subscriptions instead of any chance or hope to live on your own away from the pops who uses your own money also just lock your credit by the way yeah i don't know how to do that okay well make a couple phone calls i'll help you and also google exists yeah but we'll help you afterwards i definitely need it.

10:25To lock my credit? I don't know. No, no, no. Before that. So, concerts are more important than you living on your own. Away from this. Madness. Where your pops literally had to move across the country. At the time, it felt like... At the time, at the time, it's right now. Okay. And I have your spending for right now. By the way, miscellaneous bullshit. 25 % of your spending. Insanity. Going out to eat, 15.3 % of your spending. Going out to eat! Grocery $26 so that's more important than living on your own having any semblance of independence and getting away from this chaos or you just want to stay there forever and soak in that environment yeah definitely I'm a big fan of temporary escapes so kind of being able to just get out of it for that you always have to go back yeah what is your plan what is your plan Ben I'm going to get into some of these numbers in a second, but okay.

11:25The temporary escapes. I get it. So what is your overarching plan? Ben looking forward, where does life take you? Well, ultimately I want to go to medical school. Oh, wow. Okay. Do you have a bachelor's degree? I have three. Oh, that's what? Oh, okay. 24. Well, I got it in four years. Okay. There's not that much student loans. I got essentially that student loans are kind of a huge regret of mine because I essentially got a full ride scholarship what are your degrees um medical sciences microbiology and molecular biology with an emphasis in biotech why are you not in medical school because i i was a d1 athlete i triple majored you sport or what soccer okay and i did research published a paper i worked like part-time full-time job cool why are you not in medical school because medical school requires clinical experience and i didn't have the time to do that and also i like in the middle of my college is when covet hit so everything shut down in terms of hospitals volunteering everything hospitals were still open but maybe not for what you needed yeah they weren't hiring because they were holding on so i get it also that was also like four years ago though so what are you doing now well then i um took a complete nose dive on my mcat and i wanted to do better well that's different that's why you're not in medical school well i've been working i've been gaining experience i've been yeah without your mcat yeah i can't really i mean i so you have to retake or have you i've retaken it three times and i got the same score but i got in i got into one to a medical school yes what um in idaho okay operating on potatoes actually idaho's biggest crop yield is wheat and iowa's biggest crop yield is potatoes okay fun fact very fun how much came in in this last month for for money from your job how much maybe like 1500 1278 but how much was spent probably

13:4320 20 no no no like 2300 not 20 ,000 how would spending that have any semblance of being okay to you I definitely don't feel okay why do you do it why are your actions doing that then one that's the wrong number is actually less but the fact that you thought it was that it was 14 mean 1484 but the fact that you said in the 2000s i have a really bad habit of you know cool you acknowledged it what have you done to fix it nothing why because i'm not a magic pill i can call it the bullshit but you seem to already know the bullshit you thought you spent more than you did most people on the show when they need the call out they think they spent less than they made even or at least what they made but you think you spent almost double what you made okay so what haven't you done why haven't you done anything i've just been in the mindset that you know like i'm going to medical school next year you are gonna go you've decided i yes pain how that is up in the air you've not applied to different things no scholarships grants student loans i'm not really a good person for scholarships and why because i am a white woman that's middle class a middle class white woman so we're just gonna give up and not apply to anything not necessarily so i was gonna apply for loans but that can also get a little bit tricky um but i'm trying to go into the military what yeah when uh i'm actively speaking with a recruiter i'm talking are you going to medical school or the military or both how does so they have you talking they have what's called a health profession scholarship program to where essentially they pay for everything.

15:38They pay for all my school. They pay me, give me a stipend, yada, yada. And then I owe them four years of my life afterwards. After the medical degree? Yes. Oh, wow. So it's like four for four, even trade. Okay. Hmm. It's not the worst deal. What are you going to go into medical wise i don't know yet i'm i'm kind of interested in forensic pathology or like infectious disease so like a medical examiner interesting all right what would you give yourself score zero to ten zero being the worst ten being the best where do you think your finances are right now today well i took i took the score online and i think i got a one okay if you want your hammer finance score like she took.

16:24It's free in the description below. Also, come on the show. Come to Austin. Drive overnight like she did. We'll have you. Apply at calebhammer.com slash apply. Capital one. That's the biggest. And the most hurtful. So that's what you say every time after a man buys you a meal.

16:47Alright. I wish. I definitely wish. Not the case no it's the motion of the ocean okay all right five thousand thirty nine dollars and 13 cents it's a big thick balance at a five thousand five hundred dollar credit limit all right and then 189 minimum payment with your payroll is quite yikes yeah that's like a paycheck more money was spent in the emergency payment but it almost didn't even matter yeah the balance went down but not even close to what you paid towards it because you purchased 103 on it and then 139 interest was accrued why are you spending on this card every single time well some of those spending i think were reimbursed i think but why on a credit card that is not being paid off.

17:45Because I didn't have the cash. Why didn't you have the cash? Because it went towards my card. You're not budgeting? No. Huh? No. I've never budgeted. Well, if it didn't go, we're not bringing your bank account to zero to pay off the cards. That obviously doesn't make sense. Basically, that's what I'm doing. Well, then why would you put that extra on you? We want to put extra, but we don't get yourself in a more dangerous situation where you have to put more money on a card that is a 30 % interest. I had to pay it. I had to pay it. No, no, no, no. No, you put$523 towards it. But I had to make the purchases.

18:16I had to make some of those transactions. Stop. I'm saying, why did you put more towards the card if it brought your account to a dangerous low? We want to put more towards the cards in a strategic way. In your case, this would be in the world of Avalanche. But if it makes it so you literally cannot afford a couple dollar purchase, why the f*** are we doing it? This much more. i don't know how to budget and um i just wanted to get down because there was you wanted to get barnes and nobles and mcdonald's which of those were reimbursed never mind i thought that was a different card none of those were reimbursed yeah shocker who would have thought so now we're spending on a card that we can't pay off that is accruing interest and it's ourselves the barnes and nobles was a gift so it wasn't yeah i know it's one of your hobbies buying gifts for other people and then going on dates and buying meals there's the mcdonald's i hadn't so in here like a year so i had to buy like you know a birthday gift and you didn't buy yourself out of debt what are you talking about what did you get her barnes and noble i got her i don't even remember like some notebooks, some pens, like little trinkets, a candle, I think.

19:39It's not even like an exciting, no offense, gift. It's not even, you're just like, I'm going to get this, I'm going to get this. She loves candles. Wow. So we go to Barnes & Noble. Better than like Pottery Barn. Like Anthropologie. Never been to Pottery Barn. You should go. No. How long does this take to pay off doing the minimum monthly payment? I think the last time I checked, it was like over 20 years 21 years so you know some of these things i'm so confused this these are the conversations that really piss me off more than anything well you know some of the things you know some of your numbers you think you spent more than you did you know you spend more than you did uh more than you made so you know some things but then you go and you go mcdonald's and barnes and noble and refuse to change any of the behavior so you have the knowledge behind it and the refusal to do anything about it which to me pisses me off to my core it's the people who go on and they're a little you know they're a little done with their finances they just don't know anything that's okay you can walk with them you can lead them you can teach them what is happening here but with you you're just like i know it but i don't give a shit so what the are we even doing i didn't know until very recently when i recently when i started watching your show.

20:57When was that? Mid-August. A month. Okay. Okay. Now, legitimately, guys, I believe that you, everyone in your life, everyone around us can actually take control of their financial future and make their lives better. And we've spent over a year here creating tools to help make those goals a reality. Right now, our budgeting program and investing program are bundled together at a 15 % discount and you get$100 in cash gifted to you right into your Moomoo account. There's honestly no time like the present to actually take control of your future. Don't wait. Don't let this opportunity pass you. So that compelled you to look at every balance.

21:32Yes. And all the interest rates and the little time periods things because I did that one hurts me the most because that one has the most destroying interest rate. Probably like the 30s. 32, I think. Jeez. It's going to start heading down with the rate cut now. But even still, it's not. I mean. And that's why I've been putting a lot of money towards it. Because. But it doesn't matter. You're spending on it with McDonald's. But I was getting messed up with the interest rate. I was getting. So why get McDonald's on it? I was hungry. I mean, that's stupid, obviously. I mean, there's literally like.

22:11Beyond accounts in here. Why put it on the most damaging one? That was your thing you said. This is the most damaging one. It's the one I want to get rid of the most. That's why I'm putting more money towards it. So we spend on here because we're hungry? Yeah. It was like. It's not an answer. I mean, I only normally get McDonald's because I have the app. So I get like 20 % off. How the f***? Okay. Well, okay. You cannot. I know you. I know you're. I know. I'm asking why you put it on this card. The card you said is the most destructive that you want to get rid of. I don't give a fuck about an app.

22:52I'm asking about this card for fuck's sake. Okay, I guess I am worried about this card, but I will say I haven't been treating it like my main priority. Oh, what's your main priority? I think I've been trying to snowball. I think. You said this is your biggest balance. Yeah. You put$200 towards it more than the minimum payment. Yeah. Do you know what Snowball is? I guess not. What is Snowball? I thought you start with the smallest ones and then it goes bigger and bigger. What's this one? The biggest one. You're not dumb. You're going to medical school. You just literally answered exactly what I was going to say.

23:35What the? I think the MCAT, if you can at least pass it, you can tell me which one's bigger and smaller. And which one would be paid off first if it's the smallest one? And which one would be paid off last if it's the largest one? So why is more money going into the largest one? What are you talking about? Because that has the largest interest rate. So you're not doing the snowball then. But there was a couple months to where I was getting like overdrafted. Like I was getting, you know, going over the limit because of interest. I wasn't even making purchases. If you're making your minimum payment, the minimum payment is the least structured to get you below.

24:10where as long as you paid that if the interest hit you wouldn't be going above the it was like two it was like 220 or two something and it put me like 50 back not now but there was a couple months so i've been just trying to get that to where i'm trying to beat the interest on that one that's like my goal is like it's not even paying it off it's trying to lower the interest you're not a credit card person you need to use a charge card where you put the money on it like the fizz card you just you can't manage other people giving you money to use yeah that card too got a credit increase when i was in wales so that's i had it paid off and then i went to wales oh good and that was just the end of last year yeah now it's basically up to the credit limit yep all in one year i did i did quit my job i was working for i wish i liked traveling and it sounds like so much fun.

25:05You guys spend so much money every single time. To be fair, I didn't pay for the travel expenses. Dude, I don't care. You racked up a$5 ,500 card. Fair enough. Because of the travel. So I don't give a shit. It doesn't matter. You just offset it by spending more money somewhere else. I think it fell on the floor. That poor pen. Do you have like a whole box of just like a bunch of them? Just this one. Damn. Credit one. We know if we have credit one, we're pretty much in a completely position. It's like the worst credit card you can get. I, okay. I don't even know how I got that card because originally showed up in the mail and you.

25:42Nope. Nope. Not even, not even. I had a credit one card from that was like my dad gave me and he's like, oh, use this if there's emergencies. And I never used it. I never used it. I never ever used it. I think I know. And then all of a sudden, he came to me and was like, oh, here, you have your own card now. So he opened it in your name. Maybe. You don't know? I don't know. You haven't asked? No. Why? You guys have had the conversations. I guess I feel like he doesn't know. Maybe. It showed up in the mail and he probably just accepted it. Yeah, probably. Turned it on and accepted it. Okay. $80 a minimum fee payment.

26:26$1 ,580.55 accrued on this. On a credit, or is the balance, on a credit one, which is crazy. That's the one I've been focused on. Is this the smallest balance? Yes. You're not focusing on it. You're purchasing on it. What the f*** are you talking about? What were the purchases? There's one card where the purchases were reversed. Uber Eats! Uber f***ing eats on a credit one What are we doing in this world What are we doing on credit one Uber eats Take one of the most expensive ways to get food Combine it with the worst credit card It's impressive How the f*** that is Yeah I think Was it like the subscription because I did cancel it.

27:24I don't think so. It wasn't. Maybe. I'm not sure. Maybe. Because I did cancel the Uber Eats. But they also got a hotel charge. Oh, I had gone to visit the medical school. That's fine. Well, but not on a credit one. It's not, especially if this is the one that I'm focusing on. You don't put more money on it. Yeah. Even if it's something, visiting the medical school is totally fine. I support that. We don't put it on the carpet we're focusing on, Especially not a credit one. Which, by the way, is accruing monthly fees$8.25. Then interest of$40.11. Go through our budgeting class. Everyone in the world should go through our budgeting class.

28:06But go through it, please. You need to learn how to spend your... How to manage your money. Because we could have afforded this My Place Hotel. We could have put this in the budget. and it would have been fine because it is something that makes sense for your situation. Go through the budgeting program. Yes, I will. You guys can sign up for it at a 15 % discount bundled with the investing class right now, by the way. But you need to go through it. You get it for free by being a guest on the show. Yes, I am very excited for that, actually. Oh, good. But again, you're someone who knows your situation without any action.

28:44So I don't know. All right, we have a Marriott card. Yep. $1 ,946.49 That's one that I just haven't It's on the back burner Yeah it is Because it's only a couple dollars What are you talking about back burner You purchased on the three cars we've talked about so far Your words Are completely opposite of your actions This is the one that I'm working on I'm doing snowball Oh this is just on the back burner You're spending on all of them And your payments make no sense.

29:21So, plus with the interest accruing, your balance actually went up. Your balance went up, even though you paid double your minimum fee payment. Minimum fee payment,$65. $46 of interest accruing. $105 of purchases. Why? Microsoft Ultimate, there's your Uber subscription. There it is. it's canceled now it's canceled okay well guess what that means the last one wasn't i thought i canceled it but i paused but it means the one on the credit one wasn't oh the subscription yeah that was probably mcdonald's mcdonald's why mcdonald's because i get 20 off every purchase through uber eats well i order through the mcdonald's app but it's through uber eats so like an uber person it doesn't matter if you're spending like 20 bucks on a mcdonald's Bullshit.

30:14No, especially on cards with 30 % interest. And then Green Gift Shop. Really? That was reimbursed. That was reimbursed. Oh, we finally... Oh, this mythical reimbursement that we've been hearing about for 15 minutes. We finally got it. And it's a whole$27 out of everything we talked about. This mythical reimbursement has finally actually showed up to play. And all the parking charges were reimbursed too. Why didn't I highlight those? Because parking sometimes you gotta. I didn't call it parking. Did you say me call out parking? Well, it was more than$25 that got reimbursed. No, but of what I've called out so far.

30:49Oh, yeah, that's it. $408 of interest accrued this year so far just on this card. Your minimum payment? Yeah, keep doing that. Keep on going on. It only takes eight years to pay off. Less than 20. Huh? Less than 20. Uh-huh, you're trying to... What? No, I'm just trying to find a silver lining in this crap. So, fuck your silver lining. Come on, dude. We take this real. Yep. Total deposit accounts,$5. Okay, what is this? Oh. Oh. That's my car. That's expensive car for your income situation, especially for someone that's not going to be really making an income throughout school. I know your thing is a little interesting.

31:32Depending on the military. Yeah, depending on that. What's the call? Does anyone and everyone get it? Or how do you have to get accepted? Yeah, it's an application process.

33:14So there is a story about this too. All right. I'm getting crisscross applesauce. Tell me. So originally I had a Kia Soul and it was paid off. Loved it. Yada yada. Yada yada. Lots of yada yadas in the story. What's the yada yada? so i feel like we probably skipped that i was a dumb no okay i i was ineducated so yes i was a dumb because i did not really invest time into acknowledging what i was doing um because my parents got really worried about me in idaho and just like it snows they didn't think that my when was this how long have you been in idaho well i got that car in 2020 but you're not going to medical school in Idaho yet.

34:01I know, but I did go to college in Idaho. Oh, yeah, I went to college in Idaho. Boise? No, no, no. Northern Idaho, Moscow. I wanted to say go Broncos, but never mind. Boise is in a state. Yes. Good job. Go on. But so they were worried about the Kia Soul not doing well in Idaho with the snow and the ice. And so I came back one summer and they wanted to get me a car and they're you know let's put it in your name it'll be good for your credit blah blah blah your parents man and then and so originally it was put my mom and i's name and then um i i refinanced it and i got a lower payment and a lower interest rate but a longer term um and then now it's just in my name but i didn't want to get the car i didn't want to yeah i think we need to just separates you from your parents.

34:58I know. And we're working on it. Like my dad has access to like a bunch of my accounts. But do you have access to your accounts? Yes. Then change your logins yesterday. I don't. He already has it like he has the cards and things like attached to others. Yeah. Just say you lost the card. I never thought of that. Okay. That's fine. I don't know how, but that's fine. It's just, okay, sure. And also, my parents pay for my car. They pay this bill? Yes. Oh, well, that's different. I mean, it's still risky in your situation because it's a big balance. Okay. Yeah, because they've been wanting me to pay.

35:48The balance is$18 ,838.92. What is the car? 2020 Jeep Renegade. And what is the term, this extended term? I have no idea. So you said it's a longer term and you just don't know it. No, because I didn't do the refinancing. Who did? My dad. But with your credit. Yep. I originally didn't want to refinance it.

Read the full transcript

36:15You don't want to go down the legal things, but there's a credit fraud potential here. and some of these different things but i mean it would kind of potentially put your family in destruction mode and you know that's kind of up to you in terms of what makes sense there but oh i want to try to take care of it i think okay oh how do you not know anything about this okay i do i do i do i do i shook my head but i do because i looked at my credit karma report and i think it's around like seven seven something okay seven or six something it's not fantastic but what's the Minimum fee payment. $390.7.

36:55I just don't know how you could afford that if they decide to stop paying it. And they could. It's under your name 100%. It's not their responsibility. I think they want me to. What do you mean you think? Because it's been a conversation? They've mentioned it a couple of times. What does that mean? Like in passing? Like, yeah. Like, they'll make a little quick joke. Oh, like, when it's time to pay. I'm like, oh, you know, you should start paying for this next year. Or, oh, you know. It's a funny joke. They'll ask me, like, you know, for help sometimes. to finish the payment because they don't have enough money sometimes keep wiping that what's happening i just feel so sweaty okay you're good you know we've been through one two three four debts but you mentioned at the beginning i asked what's going on here he said he's opened a bunch of debt in my name credit one he may have opened that the card they may have kind of pushed you into that but even still no even still this isn't oh this that's not lining up so far there's only there's only one debt that he accrued.

37:50You said three at the beginning. I said he opened it, but I said there's one that he used. So what's the status of the other two? They're mine. Aside from when I helped with the repo. So he opened them, but you took them. But you managed them. Yeah. Bank of America. Yep. Is this one it? Is this one what? The one he racked up? No. I really want to see the one he racked up. $2 ,169.47 with a minimum monthly payment of$74. Gosh, basically you have the credit limit. No surprise. 14 years to pay off. Okay. Okay. That doesn't... You. You kill me. You kill me. You made more than the minimum monthly payment but then you went and purchased on it anyway.

38:37And then$53.24. Every single card we've looked at, you've purchased on. So I don't understand what your intent is in finance, in life. Your goals are not aligning with your actions by any mean possible. I honestly don't. I've never. Finances for me has always been in the back just because I've been focused on other things. What? Like when I was in school, I got so good money from school because I would get a stipend because I was on athletic scholarship. Why do you have student loans then? because essentially my california insurance didn't work in idaho so i had to pay out of pocket for their student insurance which was like a grand a month what health insurance yep why weren't you on your parents i was but they wouldn't accept it at the school well hold on at the school yeah so the school medical yeah they will go off campus no like it's like you have to have proof of insurance to be a student like you have to have insurance they so the insurance the reason they didn't accept it was because it didn't cover out of state non-emergent things it only covered emergencies oh so they didn't accept that they but they recognized that as existing it just wasn't the coverage yes yes and so they did they declined it and then I had to get the student health insurance and that was like a thousand dollars a thousand what dollars a semester you borrowed for it scholarship didn't pay for it no okay okay the bank of america uh electric and an electric what oh electron wait ba oh that's your payment sorry oh amazon it was an amazon order great another 429 fees we've had fees this year 95 dollars a fees it's either missed payments late payments or over the credit limit multiple times probably three times for something this year i maybe two i think it was two do you know two late payments well how long have you been in this job that you're in right now i'm glad you got something new why have you accepted it for so long working like a half an hour a week so it wasn't always this way um originally i worked for three different agencies but i wasn't getting why'd you stay hours so i left so i did leave and then i picked up this client and i i really like like them or like them why they're not giving you money the only reason to have the job well job purpose but i'm glad you got the purpose part but you also need to be able to pay bills and live a life i've been probably too focused on the purpose because i did have purpose you're never even there i know but i did have another job before that paid better and i had better hours but then i quit it to take time to study for the mcat which i'm not necessarily opposed it's just but you've been in this job for so long okay and i i was worried because i got really really burnt out you can this next one also has purchases that is five credit cards in a row all right

42:07the credit limit is 2000 you're at 1974 yeah congratulations guess what you spent you paid off more than the minimum payment doesn't matter whatever difference you made the almost hundred dollars of purchases are completely negating it 72 dollars a minimum payment on this so we had some parking gas I think but then caregiver background yeah I have to renew my registration with this I never have the cash because I've just been putting all my money towards the cards okay sorry sorry we already went through this I'm sorry I'm irritated I know I wanna process this so I don't just blow up. It's the fact that you're putting more than double on all these damn cards, which, great, but then it makes it so you don't have any money, so then you just negate all partners by putting the money right back on the cards, and then the interest is growing, and then you have fees are growing on some different parts throughout the year, so why even put the extra money towards the cards?

43:17Why even put extra money towards the cards? Because you just put the balances all the way back up. It doesn't even make any sense, so why even do that? Why even do this? Have the money in account, spend it, whatever is left in a budget, we put towards the card. One card at a time, two, not all. So I just, I don't get the message you're going about this. I don't either. I felt very, very lost. And that, yeah. I just haven't, I, it's so, it feels so overwhelming. And I don't, I don't know. It's like I woke up one day and then, boom, it just came, it just showed up. Obviously, that's not how. I know that's not how it happened, but that's what it felt like when I started caring.

44:05Okay, when did you start caring? When I started watching your videos. It was only a month ago. Yep. What have you done in a month? Canceled a bunch of my subscriptions. Okay. Make lots of sandwiches. It's stopping and getting the food. I've been making lots of sandwiches. Really? No McNugs. No McNugs. Okay. But I still am doing what is wrong in that I just don't have any cash. Like, I just put it. But that's not being reflected in these statements. And we haven't even gotten to your spending statement. And this spending shows the month that you started to care. So, it feels like you're bullshitting me.

44:47I'm not. But the numbers don't lie. We had your most recent statements. So what are you talking about? Maybe it's more of a feeling to you instead of the objective truth. It's a feeling. It's a feeling. You feel like you're trying to. Maybe you cut back 5%. I feel like I'm trying. I do feel like I'm trying. We're going to get to the spending statement. I already told you what percentage went to bullshit. It was a crazy percentage. And of course you spent more than you made. So wherever the trying is, it's not really... Okay. 32.24 % interest. So that's kind of tied with the bad one, right? I...

45:31They're all bad, to be clear, but... Green Sky. Is this one? Is this the Pops? Yes. Okay. I recognize Green Sky, yes. Whoa, what is it? It's 12 ,681. They redid the yard. In your name? yes oh what do they even do uh it's all turf now you better roll around and it get its money worth they really like it because it's easier to clean up the dog poop now yeah yeah um but i i i should have asked more questions about i and i should have asked more questions i did not understand what I was doing when because they talked to me about it. They did. Wait, they talked you out of this? So he didn't open it without you knowing?

46:21No, no. He talked to me. He talked to me about it. He asked me. Kind of at the beginning, you kind of led me astray. You made it sound like he was just taking out debt in your name. They may have manipulated into it. I'm not saying that's okay. But you made it sound much different. You made it sound like he was just taking out debt in your name, like credit fraud. but they've convinced you to do this. First of all, gross. Get away from them. Aside from one card. They might not know what they're doing is evil and horrendous and bad and disgusting but their ignorance isn't an excuse in terms of you having to put up for it with it.

46:56So you need to get away from these people being able to convince you. The rest of it is on me. It is on me aside from one card. Yes, but this is substantial law. How did they convince you and how did you accept it? they asked me to co-sign on the loan oh you're co-signed okay but i'm i i don't know who with i don't think it's my dad okay maybe my mom i don't know and he didn't know that it was going to go on to my credit are they paying for it yes okay okay but it's really it's just it's just the one card that but you said they had a conversation with you yes what was the reasoning that got you over the line to be like okay i didn't know what it meant like i thought then why'd you say okay because i i thought okay in my head so they basically don't have the best credit either what and um are you sure at that time i had pretty decent credit i think i wasn't watching my credit then your credit's about 650 i think yeah and then um right now yeah and then they came to me and you know they wanted to redo the yard whichever and then they asked me to co-sign on the loan to do it because their credit wasn't enough and i i did not understand what co-sign And in my head, I thought that co-signing was like kind of like vouching, you know, like, oh, hey.

And it sounds like he didn't know it either. Your parents didn't know it? No. why'd you really make it sound so victim-y at the beginning then when this a lot of this were your decisions more than you suggested i kind of i didn't mean to it's really just the one card that was his what the who the are these people it's like what am i looking at it's like anime oh like game of thrones classic anime game of thrones yeah sure okay keep going um but okay this is i don't know 189 dollar minimum payment i get that they're taking care of this and the car but i mean they go the crash they die i hope that doesn't happen you're yep because by the sounds of it you're probably not getting any money from them maybe some life insurance we'll see but who knows no sometimes but i won't ask for it sometimes what sometimes they'll give me money oh what okay and how does this how does your guys's money relationship work it's it's really it's not good not separate from them as a daughter separate from them as finances finance but that means you moving out but i don't know how we're going to do that with the school thing unless you get accepted into that program that you're to do okay so again twelve thousand six hundred eighty one dollars and 68 cents at a seven percent interest rate rounded up by 0.01 percent and 189 dollar monocity payment all for some turf i've been thinking of getting some turf it's really great because i got two dogs and it'd be muddy oh it helps it helps a lot with the cleanup okay what's too long how many semesters were you there 10 semesters five years no four years okay you you borrowed more money than you suggested if it was 1 000 hours a semester i i borrowed i didn't suggest that i was only borrowing a thousand i said i borrowed for that and then it was just more i i didn't i didn't know i just you know they filled out the fafsa i saw who they filled out the fast like my parents oh we're back to that okay and then um my gosh i thought that was some i thought that's what parents did i didn't know they could help you but these aren't parent plus loans no so yours and so i i i had no idea and then basically i how it showed up to me was in my student account and it was just like oh you have this amount of money to take but do you wanna huh yeah yeah what did you just say it like asked it said okay you have this amount of money available that you got approved for do you want to take it oh do you wanna yeah oh my gosh okay that came out as one word okay uh five percent on one of them, 4.5 % on the other, 2.7 % on the lowest.

52:38$10 ,133.32. You paying? Yes. What's your payment? Like$80. I would have guessed about$150. You're on an income-based payment thing? I have no idea. I just go online and it gives me the amount to pay. I don't see on this. because i don't think this is a literal statement or else it would have showed your payment great okay all right okay any other debt no any other debt no no money to your aunt oh yes yes sorry how do you i thought like statements okay why do you owe your aunt money how much money do you owe your aunt two thousand six hundred and oh my god seventy something dollars seventy something okay uh why that since when that was the card that got racked up by my dad and then when he went to visit her she was like well i'll just pay it if it's a problem but you owe it to her yes so i guess there's not interest right no okay so we saved ourselves there and potentially a minimum payment but in the end you still have the debt you refinance it at zero percent with a questionable payment do you have like a payment agreement like about 500 every month i get help from my dad though huh oh since he was the one that how much does your dad put towards that 500 500 that's he puts like a majority like normally okay give me a number so i can budget you so you still have to pay a hundred he better yeah what the f*** does that dude do for a living he's retired now there was a card we had a statement for but she said it paid it off fully so we didn't print the statement is that what it was yes he had a door dash order on it was that him or you nope no no no does he have access to it did you close it close it it's your it's your thing just close it or request a new card i don't care and honestly you shouldn't have access to credit cards because you don't know how to manage them to save your life yes access has been removed you said he was an attorney yes he was uh now he's a dead be dead i don't know what's his new job um he's retired how old is he he is 65 okay no not 65 he was born in 65 so like almost 60, 59.

55:17If he was retired, why is he going into debt on someone else's name? He didn't retire on his own. It was for medical reasons. Okay. And he didn't have anybody saved. There was no medical anything that he got. He gets a little disability but not much. Social security, what is that? Maybe. Or has he not started to accept social security yet? I don't know. I don't know about his business. Great. He only uses your money. So I'm glad you don't know. Okay. $10. And let's check in the count. Some marketplace you went to. Oh, my. Here we go.

Dude, not for a single second of our life can we afford this at this point. Because you've said so many times throughout this conversation, yeah I didn't have money so it was put on a credit card did you just see the checking account statement we went in it was spending spending spending spending spending spending spending on bullshit across the board I will say will you yes I will that statement was July and beginning of August and I told you that I've been trying to make changes since mid August this went to mid-August it went to like the 12th I'm talking like literally mid-August the 14th I remember the exact date shut up I swear I swear great I'm glad that you just like everyone else changed habits as you conveniently applied to be on a show where your finances are that's what happens and then people go off and then they f*** up still unless you actually take a real change and not just a temporary I want to make sure I look good in front of the internet.

1:00:15Yes. Okay? So I don't want to hear it. $251 in your investment account. Okay, so nothing.

1:00:22What are we trying to do here? I want to get out of debt and be smart about it. Why do you want to get out of debt? Because I want to be able to go into medical school in the right way. Are we going to do this? Are we getting out of debt before we go into medical school? That's the goal. $54 ,364. At least my credit cards. At least my credit cards. Because at least with the green sky, you know, my parents cover that. And. Okay. So half. And then. Probably like$25 ,000 of credit cards. I think it's a little bit less. I think right now. Oh, sorry. I was calculating student loans. Yeah. And I, and yeah.

1:00:59And so I think it's around like$12 ,000 in credit card debt right now. When do you hear about this program and how competitive is it? This military thing. When I submit my application, that's what I'm working on right now. So it's a lot of paperwork. um when i submit it it goes like before a group of people and then i he said i should find out within the month of submitting what's it called the for the army because i think the navy and the air force have one too but i'm doing it through the army let's find out he said i have a good shot i i'm not going into it banking on that disclosed typically offers around 300 scholarships per year how many apply what was your mcat score uh 503 okay well you barely made it yep because you need 500 yep what was your gpa 3.94 barely made that cut off too well that was you're a little better there it was 3.2 that's like 0.7 that's not barely cutting it all right calm down

1:02:10i only got two b's in college yeah you're right no but yeah with the mcat yeah okay they offer 300 no you're right about the gpn but and the rest of my application is competitive aside from gosh they don't say how many people apply it's not it's not public information no and neither is the acceptance rate no the program is very competitive if it says them yes and i'm a 300 and I in a country of like 350 million people. Gosh, so we can't rely on this. No. Obviously, we hope you get it. Of course. Absolutely. I'm not relying on it. Gosh, usually I can like, oh, I wish I could do something. Like letter of recommendation.

1:02:53Not that they would care about me. Oh, the f***ing tumor. I'd gift you a course career certification, which I recommend for really anyone, anyone but that again that doesn't help you here it helps most people on the show i did get two more jobs i'm gonna yeah i know i'm just trying to think of yeah i know but even medical school is crazy like you're gonna be borrowing what like 250 to 500 000 so it's just like yeah we can pick up some jobs but that's some money like we need some real good jobs working full time to pay for that i mean it's gonna have to be a loan or a scholarship okay yeah but you're white so you can't get scholarships you said there's like a few that i have looked into applying and maybe i should but it's only like a few grand you know in the grand scheme of things versus 250 000 it's not the greatest like i think there's some athlete scholarships i could apply for for like ncaa like you can get scholarships yeah for like graduate programs at least um i know one person got it if you're playing the i'm white card so i'm not going to get a scholarship at least you're a woman i know right because if you're going to play that card then probably you could go to the extreme and say if you're a white man you're the least likely so that's true it playing your logic that's true no that's

1:04:22i kind of thought about that i did um almost become a white students receive 70 percent of scholarships really wow for what though for a full tuition scholarships but for my okay i will say my income middle class is the harsh against sure and i i kind of explained i'm not fighting on the statistics around scholarships so when you throw that at me i'm just playing into your own logic like i i don't know so that this is not worth going down a rabbit hole here yeah uh i'm sure there's going to be more uh people with opinions in the comment section is totally okay i just i'm legitimately just not informed on that i just i really hope you can get in this program i'm just trying to think i'm okay some people are completely against student loans and all things i think if we're focused if we get a good specialty in medical that we know we're going to be making a good return on our investment you can take out student loans we just need to talk about a debt repayment strategy on the other side of it so i am okay with that yeah we can go about it in a smart way if you go out and you just barely making your minimums and you just start living a high lifestyle after medical school or you go in and you're like a you know general practitioner you're not making as much you know it's just like which also that's not necessarily bad but if you take out a ton of student loans it makes it much it's harder yeah so there's ways to go about it okay so obviously we want to make you a budget yes put you through all the education but when do you want to go to medical school though because it's next year so so july august so we have barely less than a year to get out of credit card debt that's why so that's our goal here yes that's a good goal i'm glad you actually have a goal most people don't have a goal this is actually pleasant to hear yes thank you income can we say do you know what it'll be like i don't know what's your income gonna be so i'm i'm working seven days a week i'm working four hours each day at twenty dollars an hour with that person through my agency then i'm gonna be working at a juice bar for an additional four hours after that part time so that will also be 20 hours um 28 hours for the agency and that will be what will your income be Oh, I don't know.

1:08:03okay do you have to pay for utilities or anything any kind of rent to them okay how does how does food work at the house me i am responsible for my food you are okay three hundred dollars follow our meal plan tweak it to your needs i did have a question about that oh sure what would be most comparable to heb i don't know i don't live there but just uh or even in big chains you know like walmart like and i think winco maybe trader joe's can be okay that's pretty pricey it is it can be okay it's really dependent on what you're getting uh but again it's just like go on the website okay okay see if you can price out things on the websites because that's how we did our meal plan is using website prices and then building out you go and you get that brand specifically tp fun this is for all the things you else need to survive make up all the goodies okay so good car insurance do you pay it your parents parents okay so again this victim thing at the beginning like it gets less and less and less empathy.

1:09:14Yeah. As we go on. I am very grateful. That's why it's really. No. Mm hmm. Gas. Me. How much?

1:09:28About 150 a month. Okay. And Jim. No. Gotta be working off them McD's. McDonald's. McNug's. Anything else that needs to be in your budget? I'm not putting subscriptions. You have a pet? My dog. How much for pet food? Probably like 50 bucks. Okay. Do you have pet insurance? No. You should. It just saved me literally thousands like two weeks ago. You know, I think I did actually talk to my mom about it. And she said that. Stop talking to them about money. Well, she gets vet insurance through her work. So, but she just hasn't been using it. So I told her after watching your show. Okay, well, I'll put$35 in your budget just in case.

1:10:13Let's see what you need to survive. Is there anything else that needs to be in your budget that we've not accounted for yet? No. Obviously, you'll build a more detailed version after going through the program, but this is going to give us just a high. Okay,$1 ,235 a month. Okay. That's not hard to get. But what's hard is we need to get your credit cards taken care of, right? Yes. That's the big thing here. So we got the Capital One, 5 ,309, plus Credit One, 1 ,580. Your aunt. Plus Marriott. Yeah, but your dad's. Helping. Big majority. Marriott's 1 ,946. My aunt watches your show. Hello, aunt. Make sure you smash that like button, aunt of Maya.

1:11:05Yeah. Is she going to watch the post show? Because that's where we get a bit more wild. I don't know if she has the Patreon or the membership. This will be my first post show. It's fun. Yeah, I wouldn't want you to subscribe. No. Okay, so just a credit card. It's$12 ,780. With the money you have left, if you say... Okay, no, no, no, no. You have 11 months to pay it off. So what do we need for that? we need and this is without taking any interest in account but it's also without taking any snowballing account either so one thousand one hundred fifty six dollars let's call that that's what you need to pay towards that on a monthly basis to pay it off by the time medical school starts we can i mean we can do it i can do it i i know i can do it yeah but but to be clear in order to do it you need wait oops sorry you need to bring in minimum into your account two thousand three hundred ninety one dollars on a monthly basis that's your literal minimum yeah literal minimum only put the money towards the smallest debt yeah nothing extra minimum payments and everything else then just keep rolling it over into the next smallest one don't look at interest just snowball works best for you i think okay uh not moving out until we go to college because that would add more another line item but again that might make it even harder because you and your family it's questionable okay and it also means you're literally not spending a single cent outside of our budget which is hard so what i might do is aim to bring in two thousand five hundred dollars on a monthly basis easy okay but you're not and you haven't i still aren't even with your multiple i'm i'm gonna i'm biting the bullet now i'm biting the bullet because I'm biting the bullet.

1:12:51I will be the one that's 32 hours a week. It will be 12 hour shifts. So I will at least get like a little bit more for the extra four hours on top. Because it will be at a hospital. And then I know it won't be that much, but tips from the little juice bar job too. Sure. So what I want to see is I want to see you right back in that chair or virtual, but preferably right back in that chair in 11 months, right Right before you go off to med school. And I want to see every credit card paid off. Okay. Now what I would actually prefer is again. You know make it a little more. And headed off to med school with at least like.

1:13:30$3 ,000 saved up for a small emergency fund. I would rather more. But you know we have limited time here. But that's what I want to do. Your aunt would be paid off by then naturally. If your dad doesn't f*** up as he's done. the yard and car scary and all of a sudden we have to start budget again this whole situation gets thrown off by the way if your parents start requiring you to pay for the car within the next year then you're just gonna have to go find an extra 397 minimum yeah and probably car insurance if they're gonna make you pay the car payment they might make you pay the car insurance so there's a lot of ifs ands or buts here yeah and then the student loans will worry about that after school they'll enter deferment i do have like a small plan i know it'll be really challenging um what's your plan if if i have more expenses in medical school since i will be carrying my cna license to just kind of do what i've been doing even though it's bad but do it in med school like working with an agency very difficult to work well in med school med school law school very hard to work well no i i 100 correctly yes and then once you're in residency you still will be making like oh yeah i know so this is a long-term game here but you could live an absolutely incredible if you really could i'm in i'm in it for the long game i just i then you need then for the short game sacrifice yes if you're really in it for the long game focus on the short game which is big sacrifice right now yeah and i hammer score then we'll bring in the producers do the post show talk about some extra drama we haven't had here uh we always love doing that you guys can join that link in the description below we have a lot of extra shows and stuff it's pretty fun but spending in a budget you overspend it so zero out of ten that's it's a weird situation for family no collections for your whole situation i know so it's not a zero but it's a one out of ten it's pretty much as bad as you and your situation can get without the collections or irs that one out of ten emergency fund zero out of ten there was nothing right retirement you barely started so i'll give you a one out of ten real estate nothing zero time we only rhymed up unless i hate someone and i don't hate you so hammer financial score 0.5 out of 10.
