Summary

This episode features Bianca, a 38-year-old operations manager from Tucson, who is deep in credit card debt and struggles with financial responsibility. Despite earning a decent income, she spends more than she makes, avoids checking her bank account, and frequently takes on new debt for non-essential items like a backyard renovation and cosmetic surgery, all while aspiring to pay for her four children's college education. Caleb Hammer confronts her about her lack of accountability, inconsistent budgeting, and history of poor financial decisions, including paying for her sister's vacation and allowing her son to use her credit card.

Guest Introduction, Income, and Tucson Life

Hi, I'm Bianca. I'm 38 and I live in Tucson, Arizona, and this is Financial Audit. I usually don't know much about a guest before they come on the show, but I did hear you like the f seventeen year olds. Ugh what? No I don't. Oh, I mean to be fair, I was also seventeen. God was like I thought you meant right. Correction you were eighteen, but not that it matters. Okay. Yeah that's I was like, when did I do that?

The last time I did that on the show, someone got very defensive. So I wanted to see what you did. I was like, what was yeah, thank God that was like twenty years ago. Actually, yes. Well yeah. So okay, wow. So this kid's out of high school. Oh yeah, he has a whole job in Actually, no, you look very good for your age. Okay. Well done. Congratulations. My grandma put me on a skincare routine at like sixteen. That'll do it. And you're Asian or something, so that probably helps. Mexican.

Close enough. So what do you do for a living in Tucson? Here is a horrible place to live, by the way. Horrible place. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Maybe if we send into the dumbest city in the whole country, it'll bring back the old PETA. No, we I A it has really pretty sunsets and we have a mountain. Um uh mountain? Well, a mountain range. There's multiple mountains. Well usually it's rare to have a mountain. I mean we do have A Mountain in the middle of the Okay, what do you do? in the mouth.

Oh you wa like in the mount. Yeah, operations. Very good for like what kind of industry? Healthcare. Right. Okay, great. What do you make? Um Being the height of your career, around forty is peak earning, if I'm not mistaken, so I hope not. Um, but I bring home five thousand a month. Well if that's the height of our earning you certainly. I don't want that to be the height of my earnings. Well just if we're just talking like But like right now. Average person, right?

Okay. No uh no actually no no you're kinda ran on track with like the the median American at that point'cause that's sixty thousand dollars a year net. So not bad. And Tucson is not one of the more expensive cities, if I'm not mistaken. I mean exactly. I know Phoenix is ha you know, definitely goes through its bubbles and waves as a boom town for sure, but Tucson, no one wants to live there because everyone would commit if they did.

Family Dynamics and College Ambitions

But five thousand dollars there okay. How you doing on five thousand dollars in the desert with how many kids? How many seventeen year olds stuck it in you? One, four times. Well, more than four, but four took. Yeah. Good for him. Yeah. Okay. But one is already moved out, so he doesn't live with me. Wait what are the ages of these children? Um nineteen, seventeen, thirteen, and eleven. Okay. It's honestly rare that I have someone that has kids that are Actual and like adult territory.

I know it's weird for the Do they think about mother coming on financial audit? I haven't told anyone. What are they going to think when they see mother on financial? I did tell my seventeen year old he's very excited for I don't know. But we he knows I listen to you on the car rides and they get so annoyed and they're like, Do we have to listen to this? But I said I'm going on your show.

What the fuck is wrong with you, 17-year-old piece of shit? Go s go stick it in an adult like your dad did, 17-year-old freak. Yeah, when my kid turned eighteen he's like, You could be a grandma and I'm like, Oh my god, I could be a grandma right now.

Yeah, I mean they are in those ages. Okay, so what's what what's going on? What's going on? You're certainly for a operations manager, which sounds like a little bit more where you are, it ranges from sixty thousand to over a hundred thousand hours a year. Yeah, see not yet.

Tucson, um, which averages landing between seventy, which is closer to where you are. You're about seventy five, seventy to ninety thousand dollars a year. So you're in that like, yeah, you're in that middle range. Okay. And top earners usually a hundred to a hundred twenty thousand dollars a year. So you're in that average for sure.

Okay, so again, how you doing? Because this yeah, it's a lot of kids. Are we taking care of college now? That's you that's a conversation we usually don't get to have on the show. What's going on? Yeah, so I actually my second son's about to go into college and I want to pay for his college. Walt, you're f how are you gonna do that? I know. You don't get to come on the show unless you're f that's how it is. I know but he deserves it, so I'll figure it out.

On what is the deserve? I don't know about desserved. He does. Okay, fine. I'm not a grandma by now. That's a good Nineteen year old now? He is a good kid too. No. No, of course not. No, no, no. No, no. I mean honestly if he I told him if he wanted to go back to school What's he doing? He's a plumber. Oh, plumbers will make a lot of money and I don't really see that being replaced by AI. Yeah. So He's gotten three raises in the year that he's been there.

With the seventeen year old, is he gonna go into community college or are you gonna be enabling like an art degree at a four-year institution? She's his first. To HVAC. I feel like Yeah. Real Mexicans, we like that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Full sombrero DNA, we love it. We support.

Desired Luxuries and Future Debt

So why are you here then? What are we talking about? So I want to pay off the debt that I have now because I want new debt. Like I want to pay for other stuff. Yeah. No, I already have a mortgage, but I wanna redo my backyard. But that's gonna be like fifty thousand dollars. So I need to pay off all this. It doesn't matter. I live there. I live there. It's worth it. Dirt. How much does dirt cost? Fifty thousand? No no, I concrete I wanna redo my whole entire backyard.

You want concrete. You want your yard to be concrete. I guess that's better than the rest of the I want it stamped to look like slate. Okay, so it looks yeah, you know. So I have a wood fence right now, and I want to replace the wood fence. I know, right? So I want to replace the wood fence. With what? With a brick, no, a brick bar with the indoor lights. Like the lights are on the brick. So they're like shutting out. What's even value that's fifty thousand hour yards?

Listen, it doesn't matter the value of my house. Forever? Yes. I want to live there forever. What's the point of moving? I don't like moving. Yeah. I can't do that. Mm-hmm. So anyways, I want it to be like all slate with a fire pit pit and a gazebo and a she shed. It doesn't matter. I live there. Like I live there and I'm not gonna ever move. So I might as well have what I want. Because I live. Usually what most people want is to not be in Tucson.

I know, but I can't Okay, so fifty thousand hour yard is what I'm I guess I'm getting you to after paying off debt going into debt for what else? You know, I'm forty, so I could almost forty. So you know, a little like boob job. That would be fun. Boob jobs on this show. What is everyone doing boob jobs? What is that like twenty? It would be so. Fun? Yeah. How are they now? They're not fighting. N they're non existent. Well they're tiny. You're flat.

Then I could have some be like, Do you guys want to see my baby? Who's you guys? Whoever's gonna be able to do it You just go around saying you guys want to see my boobs? Not to random people. Well, first of all, I think honestly, other than like the weird Chronicle on freaks, most people would actually be pleasantly happy with that request. Just saying. So feel free to test that out. Number Number two. So we'll see what happens.

Marital History and Accumulating Debt

Are you? Married? Okay. Wait, okay. So the seventeen year olds you divorced them? Yeah. Okay. That was my first husband. He has a lot of time on his side. What is it? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no. Okay, so you're trying to get some tits so you can get another one? Oh wait, first of all, how many have you had? I have to. I had to. Had to. Okay. Well why'd you break up it was the seventeen year old uh father of Aldi's? Yeah. Why'd you break up with a seventeen year old?

He fell in love with somebody else. Someone or tits? She sheared it. Yeah, that happens. Yeah, I like her. Yeah. Or her tape. You know, I like both her and her. Okay, very good. 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 오 Okay, no, I I had to do the math because I met someone in the green room, someone very hot, by the way. Someone that oh my goodness. But she's your sister-in-law, meaning, okay, yeah, that's your brother. Okay, this is not this is not a new one. Because

I I was married to her brother. But she's my sister because when you get married, then you become then she becomes my sister. So now she's my sister. So your axe is Related to her. Yeah. My ex husband is her brother. Okay. Okay. Okay. Sunny by the way, that lovely person in there. And Uh okay you got with someone else and you and none of these kids are that one? Was that your husband? No. Seventeen? No, he was not seventeen, he was my age.

Right here. Hello. Hammer Elite is free right now, but you gotta submit proof of purchase at HammerElite.com so you can get your$10 digital gift card that comes. I know. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why? What happened? It was just a short, shouldn't have done it and then we did it. Uh I don't know. Why'd you end it? He wasn't great with money. He wasn't like Stupid, what are you talking about? Okay, well he didn't. What are you what are you honored about? I I make enough.

But I I can afford it. I'm not making thirteen dollars an hour. It's not about no it's never about income. It's about your entire financial situation. Okay. How much debt do you have? How much debt do you have? Oh including the house. What is that? Um I forgot what I bought my house for. Far, how much debt do you have not including your debt? Not including your house, how much debt can you? Okay, okay. I'm gonna say twenty thousand. Okay. Yep, you're broken. Thirty seven thousand. Oh, okay.

Hmm. So he's bad with finances and that's the reason you broke up. No, no, no, no. Including a mortgage that you want to add an additional fifty to for a yard, for dirt, for shit. So you can look at the map. So I don't have so I don't have to clean my arm. Entire thing's gonna be concrete? Yeah. I don't like yard work. It's dirt. Yeah, but dirt grows weeds and then you have to clean it. I have a giant mushroom.

Financial Amnesia and Excuses

So what did you learn from the second husband before you get our th your third? If you have doubts, don't get married. I did. Okay. And how long did that last? Like a a year. Yeah. And why'd you end it? It just wasn't working. Okay. And how long ago was that? Like two years ago, I think. Okay. Yeah, I'm sure. So we're trying to get new tits so we can get a third. But to be fair, I have wanted tits since I was born. Like since I was like a teenager. Oh stranger, okay.

Since I was like a teenager, I'd wanted them. Okay. Why haven't you? You've prioritized obviously other things including a J C Penny card. So it's like you could have done this. No, you've been bullshitting your entire way to here. You could be in fake tit territory. Why aren't you? You could have them right now. Those things could be hanging on the desk, landing flat. We've had them. We've had people come on and just flop them out. That could have been you. What have you been doing?

Going on vacation. That's more important than tits? Ja. Okay. Sure. If it is, but listen, you've been going into debt for it. It's more important than your art. It's more important than paying for your kids' school. How are you paying for college?

How are you paying for college for the 17-year-old? How are you paying for college for the 13-year-old in a few years? How are you paying for college for the 11-year-old in a half a decade or so? A little more than that. But even still, how are you doing all that if you have thirty-seven thousand dollars in bad debt outside of your mortgage? fifty thousand dollars of future debt for dirt, and then twenty thousand dollars of future debt for tits, which by the way But listen, if I

They don't even feel good anyway. So it's like others won't be appreciated. Well, actually Brandon would appreciate them. Some people like them fake. I don't understand it. I I'll never understand it. They just it's all it's not right. It doesn't work. I'll figure it out. It just happens. Oh that's Yeah, it will happen. That's our entire argument. Yeah. でも Listen, no, I'll I'll lock in and I'll pay off all

Why haven't you locked in? You're almost 40. Lock the f in. What's wrong with you? Lock in. What are you talking about? You're gonna die. Double your lifetime. What are you talking about? You just have to go on vacation. No. Like mental health vacation. It's a whole thing. Mental health vacation doesn't have to mean actually going wherever. Mental health vacation could be literally just going on a walk around the block. It's not on a flight, it's not a vacation.

What, road trips or not vacations? No, I cannot do a road trip. Well you cannot, but people do road trips. People do road trips. No. For what? No. To go for the floor. No. Okay, yeah, sure. Fly there, but also that's just not true. Vacation, like you're going to a vacation destination. That the that's not the definition of a vacation, necessarily. I don't know. I feel like I feel I feel like I could probably once a quarter have a nice vacation. Oh my god. How no, you're you're on horrible death.

And you want to do fifty thousand dollars plus twenty If I pay off my debt, then I'll be able to afford it. The math will math. Yeah, but how can you do that if you're gonna do a fifty thousand hour yard and then twenty for tits? Which is more debt than you have now outside of your mortgage. Maybe More than doubling your debt. Yeah, but see this is manageable debt right now. So then once it's paid.

Manageable, then why are you even the f here? Why if it's manageable and you're able to just lock in as you say, if it's manageable and you're able to just lock in as you say, why is the debt even here? You would pay it off if it's manageable and you can just lock in. The f are you talking about managing? Maybe it's not quite managing. And what are you talking about, this lock in? What lock-in? There's no lock in there? No, it will it'll happen.

What have you ever locked in in your life? Where's your lock in? The only locked in you did is when you saw a 17 year old across the room and you're like, He was walking on the side of the road. Thank you very much. That's a good place to pick up a minor. I was one too. It's not like it was wild. Eighteen. It happens. I really don't care about that. I'm obviously just joking about that. Twitter, TikTok might but Uh don't care about them. They're not real people.

I I saw I saw your face of concern when I said that. Don't worry. They're literally not real people. None of us take them seriously. Don't worry about it.

Past Lock In and House Purchase Issues

But obviously I'm gonna joke about it. Okay, but but either way, what's your lock in? I don't see lock in. It will happen. I it will happen. That's not an argument. I mean... Where's your locket? Okay, fine. We know how much came in. About five. How much went out? Lock in queen. Uh I okay here. I have spending amnesia. What? Spending it. You know, you just like swipe the card, tap to pay. Don't know. Don't just I'm in again.

Like seven thousand, I'm gonna guess. Well, no, maybe less. I'm gonna say six. You should have stuck with the original one because it's much closer to that. Six thousand seven hundred fifteen dollars thirty-two cents. Yeah, the payroll that came in was four thousand nine hundred seven dollars eighty-eight cents. What? Listen. Lock in again. What the f are you talking about? Lock in. There's no lock in. I've never No, I did I did buy it.

Once upon a time what? Once upon a time what? You have four kids, look where you've ended up, nothing's working. What are you talking about? And you're gonna pay for their college. Good the flood. I I did. I did lock in one time. When? I think it's a good thing. It does it even matter. Dude, if you were doing perfect now and you're a complete degenerate piece of shit ten years ago, I wouldn't have cared about that. I wouldn't have cared about that.

I don't give a f if you're doing good ten years ago if you're doing a piece of shit now. What do I give a shit? Okay, but tell me about your lock in, sure, lock in. I lived with my dad and I paid off a lot of my You lived in with your dad though, but now you're taking care of your kids. Okay, when was this? I lived with him like two years ago and then I bought my house. Your lock in it was two years ago? I mean I thought maybe this was like a decade of

No no no no I mean it fluctuates, it's up and down. Sometimes I lock in and sometimes I forget to Save ten thousand hours, I'm being told. And then I would have From ten thousand to negative thirty seven. I bought a house. I had to buy things for it. I had nothing. Yeah. What? It was a had to. Okay, what's your had to? I mean, it's like an HVAC system, sure, but what did that You know, like furniture. Oh my god. A table and chair. Tables and chairs.

Did not have to in the moment though if it's gonna put you underwater and put you at risk of foreclosure, put you at risk of not being able to replace a roof, put you at risk of not being able to fix a window if it breaks. That is not a had to.

You cannot buy a house until you at least I would at least five percent. I'd recommend minimum ten, but at least five. I wouldn't get a house. And then also a full six month emergency fund before doing it because people get f when they get into a house that they can't afford. What the f**k are you talking about? I had to do that. That's your lock in? Ja. The best you've ever done by forty is ten thousand hours saved up on the side. That's your argument? Yeah, yeah. You know what?

Is that a good argument? Life happens. What are you talking about? झाल झाल झाल झाल The most you've ever accomplished is ten thousand dollars by forty, and it's gone, you're negative thirty seven. Put it that way. No, well it that's the real way. What what okay, what other way is there to put it? I

So what are you talking about? You can't tell me you locked in then. You've barely accomplished anything ever. And certainly nothing to show for it. I mean a house sure, that's good. If you've only bought it recently. What? An accomplishment. Oh like five years ago. Yeah. Great. I can't. Ended up being done. Yeah. Great. Yeah, that happens. That happened hey, some sometimes

You didn't do anything extra special with that. You just keep making your minimum three payments until it's done. That's what's that that's what happens. Same thing will happen to a credit card if you don't purchase on it in decades. I mean That's fair. Also it was a ten thousand hour car. It's not like it wasn't crazy it wasn't like a c that that's that's like what I would recommend anyway. So Well, I don't... what are you I think I did I think I'm doing okay.

Why? You're one emergency happening to this house away from not being able to take care of your f kids. I it sounds like you have a good dad, but I mean, you're ancient, so he's gonna be he's extra ancient. He's not gonna be around forever.

Disorganized Budgeting and Paycheck Struggles

I'll I'll figure like listen, the new year's coming and then Don't do that. Bullshit. People fall off their New Year's resolutions endlessly. That's not a good argument. It should be taking actions today, even though it's a few days before New Year's. Yeah. That's what I would say. But okay. So what is your current budgeting? What do things look like now? How do you manage your finances now? Um, so I get paid my first paycheck.

And I pay all of my the bills, right? Like electric minimum payments on the credit cards. And then or Pay your minimums out of the gate. Yeah. Manually? They're not automatically taken. So you you get paid and you immediately take care of your manual. Right. Like some of the credit cards that I forget about are set up on the card. What are you talking about?

Yeah, you know I have like sixty dollars on this card and I'm like, Oh yeah, I forgot about that. And so that one is So you do not sit down and actually manage your finances or else you would not forget about it. I forget that I used the card. you sat down and managed your finances, you'd see it that you used the card. I'm c I'm confused. Okay, continue. Let's talk about student loans. I know it's something we all avoid talking about, but if your private student loans are crushing you,

Why ReFi might be exactly what you need. They don't rely on your credit score alone. They look for borrowers who have the desire and the ability to repay. That is a game changer in a market where most lenders only see a number. Interest rates. under six percent guaranteed. That's practically a unicorn in student lending.

Plus, they offer structured payment plans to lower your monthly bill and even a co-signer release program so your mom and dad can step off the hook. Why ReFi is known for their personal service? No faceless call centers, you get a dedicated rep who actually cares about your progress.

They've got a 4.6 star rating on Google, which tells you people genuinely like working with them. So if your private student loans are burying you, it is time to reach out. Why ReFi wants to help you climb out of debt, not push you further into it? Check them out at Yrefi dot com slash hammer, that is Y R E F Y dot com slash hammer or call triple eight nine seven three three nine seven eight. That is triple eight nine seven three three nine seven eight.

break free from the high interest trap and get your finances under control once and for all. That's kind of fing stupid, I'll be honest, but What's not is actually getting a checking account that gives you free money. Free money, we like free money. You can get up to$350 in bonus cash right now. When you sign up for the checking account that I use,

Link in the description below. Sign up for Chime. Get that three hundred fifty dollars right now in your checking account. So then I pay all the bills with my first paycheck, and then I know that I need to save minimum of a thousand or eight hundred for my mortgage on my second paycheck.

So you're paycheck to paycheck. I if I guess. Yeah. Yes. Well no, because I have extra money saved until I get paid again. Until And then you Like I need the second paycheck. And a little bit of my first paycheck to pay my mortgage. Your entire second paycheck and your a little bit of your first paycheck? Your house? Just in case. It just in case of what? I don't know. Things happen. Like You said for for your payment you need your second check plus a little from your

First. Yeah, because I like there to always be money in my bank account. Like the thousand dollars. I always want there to be Is there always a thousand dollars? Not always. What happens? Why not? I don't know. They just like Tap the card and I'm like, Oh shit. Who taps the car? What the f wait? I do. When you say they, shut the fk up, it's you. Okay, okay. I I tap my card. But after I pay my mortgage, then it's kind of like trying to make it through until I get paid again.

What but no, you always have a thousand hours in your account? No. No, not always. Exactly. So why is it always making it through? Even if it was nine hundred instead of a thousand, that shouldn't be a big struggle to the next few days. Well, because sometimes I well okay, so I I don't like to look at my bank account. It could be. How could it be? You're literally dying.

You just told me you struggled to make it to the next paycheck after your mortgage payment. How can you possibly not look at your checking account? How is that even an option? Because if you don't look it didn't happen. I don't know. I don't know. It's just like it's annoying to look at. Like you know like when you look It's more annoying to look at. All this money and then I'm like me, I'm me, uh me, I spent all the money.

It's more annoying to look in an account than not have money when we're trying to purchase something. It's more annoying to look at her account than not be able to pay for our kids' school. No. Uh-huh. Selfish. Okay, okay. But I mean it is kind of annoying to look in there. No shit. No one likes to actually face their irresponsibility. But if you never do, it'll never be fixed. Never. Not once. And that's why I'm here. I'm here to fix it. Right.

And yet you're fairly whatsoever spending thousands more than you make on a monthly basis. So what is actually gonna change after this? This is not a magical thing. It was but why? Because I have a goal. Yep. Have you never had a goal?

Well this time I have a real goal. What's your real goal? Why was it fake last time? Your real goal is literally fake tits in a yard. yeah that's what i want That was my first goal. Yeah, but you did it in a horrible way by the way. But it happened. happened and you might be f for it. It sounds like you are because you struggle between your mortgage payment and expage. check. Yeah, but once I pay off my debt, then I won't have that struggle.

How do you pay off your debt if you spend two thousand hours one and then you make it on a monthly basis and you struggle to make it to the next paycheck? You put it out there that you're gonna like set a goal and you're intentional with it. You can put it on your board, you know. Yes, you're bored. Yeah. I will. I you will. Okay, so your entire argument is that you will. Yes. Nothing has ever shown that you have.

But your entire argument is that you will. That's it. Yeah. No indication that that is actually true, but you will. You see why I can't necessarily just believe that and let go of that? That's bullshit. It'll happen. Great. Well, guess what? Your house has gone down ten thousand hours in value since you purchased it. Bye. Because the housing market goes up and down depending. Okay. Especially in a boom state like Arizona. You have a negative equity position.

Lord, I didn't know that. Okay. What percentage did you put down? Uh You don't even know what is wrong with you. Yeah. I don't know. Like five. Well sounds like you didn't think of it. Are you just guessing? Yeah. Yeah. Did you FHA it? Uh Yes. What? Yes, yes. Know what you did? No, I know, I know, I know what I did. We literally have no equity position in this house whatsoever. But it doesn't matter because I'm an Olympic.

He does'cause if you uh enter a situation where sometimes there's a reason that you have to move. That's just something that happens. That that's rare, that's probably not gonna happen, but it might happen. Or two you get. Financially you have nothing in savings, you are f on debt, you get laid off. And we just had a good quarterly uh uh annualized GDP report. But who even knows? The job market's not great. What happens if you get laid off? What degree do you have? I'm screwed if I get laid off.

Exactly. What degree do you have? Um I actually didn't finish my degree. Oh. Okay. What did you go to school for? Business management. Yeah. And accounting. Uh huh, great. Yeah. It's just like one. Every f time. I know. So what happens if you get laid off? You can't afford this mortgage, so you need to emergency sell it, and then what do you do? You have to write a check to close. Ready to check just to close your own f house because you have a negative equity position.

Yeah, that would really suck. Yes. This is the position you've got. Put yourself in. That's why I'm not letting you just the I'll figure it out or it'll work. Because that is not an answer. You are in a position where not just you, but three of your kids. Aren't in a beyond risky position and there's not a dual income situation here. Yeah. I'm not trying to get the fakies to get them. There's not No, I don't want that. I don't want someone to move in with me. Really?

I wouldn't say single, but they don't have to live with me. You're never gonna live with a guy. There's not room in my closet for a guy's in his tub. There's not room in my house for one. And this is your forever home. Mm-hmm. Okay. I don't want to make room for someone.

You know, I thought you owned because you're old, I thought maybe you've owned this house forever, for a long time. So I was like, Okay, maybe it actually is a dream house. You've been in for a year, you don't know this is your dream house. Yeah, I do. It's really cute. Yeah. I looked at it right now, it's fine. Yeah, it's cute. It's tiled throughout the yeah. Even better. Yeah, ten years ago. It's cute. Concrete is not in, lady.

It's in for me. It's easy to clean. And my electric bill is very easy to easily clean. Uh well yeah, it's a tiny ass house and it's literally there's one little micro bush in the yard. The rest of it is just dirt. It is single story. It is Yeah. But if I redo the backyard. Yeah. With a patch of turf, small patch. It's dirt, dirt, dirt. This is what a miserable, miserable place. Yeah, I hate it. I don't even know. But I don't even know.

Look, there's a dog tied to our other dog. Um, okay, the house is a very normal house, so I don't see how Dream House is attached to this. Because it's mine. That's why. Yeah, but your next house would be yours too. And people always move on. I don't think okay. Okay. Very good. Yeah. To be clear, you have a neg negative equity position in this house and you want to invest fifty thousand dollars into the backyard. Basically, yeah. Maybe it doesn't have to be fibe it could be class.

Could your sister not pay for it, huh? Because that scares me because how are they gonna pay you back if they can't pay for it themselves? It's because they had like filed for bankruptcy, so they didn't have any of their Filed for bankruptcy yet you're doing all of this?

Oh, why can we not learn from other people instead of having to you have to learn it through your own three? What's wrong with you? If you don't get punished, if you don't go through it yourself, you can't learn from it. You just saw what your sister went through with bankruptcy and yet you're doing this yourself. Hers was way worse though. Pour now you No, this is it. This is the limit of how high they are.

A budget doesn't matter if it's only sometimes. Uh it just doesn't. When it happens, it's great. Uh but it doesn't matter because you f yourself in the next month, in the previous month. Yeah, I it's just sometimes I do really great and then sometimes it falls off the wagon. Just'cause you get no dick doesn't mean you need to f yourself to feel something. Ha ha But that's what you're doing every other month at a minimum. A budget is not working if you only sometimes follow it. Okay, okay.

But from now on I'll That's not an argument. I can't listen to that. I can't listen to that. Just stop saying that. Cause that is a pointless thing to stop. Cause you know what that is? That is a brushing criticism to the side. That's all that is. That is an answer because you don't want the pushback anymore, but it's not an answer that anyone can listen to, including yourself. Okay. I will believe it if and when you do it and I can see it. Until then.

Mystery of Missing Funds and High-Interest Debt

But see when I do my budget, right, I know there is extra money there. Sometimes. But where is it? What? Yeah. You know, like okay, I bring in five thousand, my mortgage is two, my bills are a thousand, so then the rest of it, I don't know. So if I can figure out where the rest of it is. That's what doing a budget is for. You should be able to see it. You moron. All right, please go through Master Your Money. Listen. Okay.

Listen, tens of thousands of people have taken our classes. Just do it. You guys can sign up for Master Money. Join the community. It's incredible. Check that out. Calebhammer.com. But also just like what are you doing? You actually have to take it. I can't just hold your hand through it. I can't force you to do it. You have to do that on your own. And I can't listen to someone who just says, I'll do it. Show it, prove it, come back. Okay, okay.

Yeah, late fees like crazy. Now that 35,000, 3500 is at a 27% interest rate of death. Oh my god Sorry. Do you smoke? No. Mm mm. Because every single person do you vape? No. Yeah, see, all natural. All natural bad behavior. City Strava, what's going on? Strata. Um mum mum Yeah, that's that's big. Wow. I don't know. I just use that one when I'm like, oh, I, you know, need to spend money. But I don't want Need.

Actually if you learn the difference between needs and wants, maybe that would actually be beneficial to you and you wouldn't be f in every way whatsoever. So the card needs to be swiped, but I don't want it to come out of my bank account, so it goes there. And how's that penny fitting you? You know, that also means it's this money you don't have. If you can't afford to put it on your checking account, it means you can't afford to put it on a credit card.

I can't. I mean you told me that after your mortgage payment you struggled to to see if you can even have enough money to make it to the next paycheck. So what the f so it's not just you don't want an interchecking account, you can't.

Yeah. But regardless. Yeah, no shit,'cause it's four hundred and sixteen dollars and eighty three cents spent last month after only making the minimum three payment. Well,$125 and 43 cents of interest accrued. So th this went up by three hundred dollars essentially. What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Why are you spending so much on a card that you cannot pay off that is accruing so much in interest? Yeah. Why? Mm. Things have to get paid. Have to. Have to. Have to.

Strongly. Going to California have to. No shit, but you're saying have to. Okay. Also you'll spend more money when you're there. So I'd cancel it anyway. But sixteen years. Sixteen years to pay this off. If you do not purchase. Which you're incapable of. And if you make m and if you only make your minimum payments, which so far, at least that's what you did. But we already know from the last credit card you missed two this year. Let's see from this card.

Uh from this card, okay, you didn't miss any this year, but you've had almost a thousand hours in interest. By year's end, it'll be a thousand hours in interest. Uh yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. So that's the consequences of oh, we can't put on our checking account right now. Thousand dollars gone, ripped from you, stolen, gone. Yeah. They knew lower the interest rates. Huh? They should uh lower the interest rate.

They have with the Fed. Following the Fed. It was likely closer to thirty. Now it's closer to twenty seven. But even still it's you're not gonna get a good rate on this card. I know.

Excessive Eating Out and Dating Life

Here's our needs. Salad and go. Oh yeah. Gotta eat dinner. They no, I I cook when they're there and then I forget to cook when I don't have a So you'll notice that's a good thing.

I just wanna do nothing. And then that means you also have to do it like on Wednesday or Thursday.

Like it's this Eating out doesn't fit in there. Also you're trying to get fake tits to improve your looks yet you go and you get fast food.

Why did you st so did you have to make It's because I had another card that had differed interests that needed to get paid off first. So I put all my payments on there. Okay. You have to pay a thousand dollars a month to pay this off in time. You spend two thousand more than you make, good the f But if I don't spend the money more than I make, the money will be

Sure, if you don't do this hypothetical thing that you've been incapable of, then it works. Shut the f up. That's not how this works. Like, sure, I hope you implement correct behavior from here. Nothing is suggested that you would do you would do so. Yeah, I don't know what to do on that one. Oh, a thousand dollars a month for the next two months or else Hundreds being added and interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh I know, I know.

Oh at 15.8%. What is this twelve thousand three hundred thirty dollars and fifty nine cents? That is a massive balance of Okay. So... Oh Once upon a time I had credit card debt. Please don't tell me you consolidated. Consolidation is not a bad thing. I wanna be clear personal loans are not bad, student loans are not bad, consolidations are not bad, bankruptcy. But I can get it as a last resort. I th I was I know. Yeah.

Yeah. But that one is fifteen percent compared like my logic was Because you have racked up your credit cards again. But when that thing is. Yeah, but when that's done paid off, then I don't have that payment anymore. When the debt is done paid off, you don't have the payment. Like it's a monthly payment for like five years or three years. Yes, that is how a debt works. Once it is paid off, you do not have a payment. Yeah. Did you just did you seriously just tell me that?

Yeah. My goodness woman. All of that. Those are the dumb ones that have the most amount of children. What is happening? Huh? But listen, when that has like a set time to be paid off. Are you sure we can't send you back to school with the eleven year old?

When the debt is paid off, there's no more payments. Yes. That's what happens. That's what happens. I get it. With the minimum yes, the minimum to payments. Same with the car that you paid off. Same with the credit cards. When it is done, it's done. Yeah. What are you saying then? Is there something else you're trying to say that maybe I'm not picking up? Maybe I'm the here. Let's find out. Well so that monthly payment is like four hundred and fifty and in three years.

twelve thousand dollars that's I paid off. And then that's debt that's paid off. Hoo Yeah, that's how minimum of the payments work. Yeah. Oh my goodness. But it's three years. No, just once a month when I look at it. Okay, yeah, you're gonna be forty one, you t? You f too, you small tit? It's fine, it's fine. Yeah. Which we love the flat naturals, by the way.
