I'm Tony. I'm 28 from Peoria, Illinois. This is Financial Audit.
Yes, sir, it is. Thanks for coming down. I know Peoria. It's a good time.
Cheap area for sure. This is the top five reasons not to be.
of your Peoria. You should be, well, actually, it depends on your job and income. What do you do?
I'm a technician at a factory in Illinois, and I work on anything that comes off the line that
requires repairs or damage along the process. That usually makes money, right? What are you doing?
So, what are you making? I'm making about 2,000 every two weeks from that job.
It's what hits your account? 2000 every two weeks? So 4,000, you know, it's not like the most
thrilling of all the incomes in the world, but Peoria,
you know, I know well,
you can live a pretty
okay life on $4,000 net a month.
Well, especially when I'm,
I'm actually get VA disability, too.
Oh, okay, what you do?
Like, job-wise?
Yeah, what are you doing in the military?
I was a tank mechanic.
Yeah, blowing shit up, except
fixing the shit that would blow shit up.
You'd think so, but, you know.
I'm not blowing up as many things these days,
okay? And in the Army,
Marines Army.
Yep.
Good.
I was actually at a service and recovery unit, so I didn't really touch the Abrams when I got in.
And what happened?
What's your disability?
Oh, when I was in Basic, there's like phases, red, blue, white and blue, which red's, like, physical.
During the first phase, red phase, I took, like, a 20-foot fall onto my knee.
Why did you do that?
There's a, there's a rappelling tower called, like, Eagle Tower.
And one of the parts on it is, like, a German wall, which is, like, a wall that goes, like,
straight up and there's like a rope.
I went up the wall, got to the very
top and couldn't transition. And they told us to let
go if we feel like we're falling
so we don't have our hands on the rope because we weren't wearing
gloves. Because, you know, army.
Is it your immense amount of gravity?
Yeah, pretty much. Yeah.
I was actually a lot skinnier back then.
Like, I was like...
Okay, so what hits your account from via disability
on a monthly basis? About
1,500.
So you're not 100%.
You're, what are you, like, 25?
I'm actually at 60%.
Oh, which I know you hate it, but...
Hate it?
Yeah.
I hate what?
I know you've only had one person on the whole show that hasn't had VA disability.
What do I hate?
You hate, well, you hate that, um, that people abuse it.
Don't, you?
Not necessarily.
Abuse.
You use the word abuse.
You don't hate abuse?
Well, people abuse the system.
Like they...
You don't hate when people abuse the system?
No, I'm just saying.
You, you, you...
You hate that people are abusing it.
Do you not?
No, I'm just saying that you do.
Okay, yes, I don't like when people abuse welfare or disability or student loans or Pell Grants or any system.
No, you're right, and we don't have sacred cows.
Sounds like, I mean, you actually became injured in what you're doing, so that's why I didn't comment on it.
And anyway, what's the point of that?
Trying to vindicate myself, basically.
why I deserve the disability.
I don't know.
Did I push back against your disability?
No, it's just my own issues are, you know, self-doubt, you know.
What, brain damage from the fall?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Uh-huh.
And probably, you know, other things.
Okay, I guess you even brag to Colton that I would probably hate that you're on disability.
Why would I hate that you're on disability?
Uh, you got injured.
in your service.
I want you to have disability.
I want anyone who becomes injured
or faces mental things
through their disability to get even more.
The only way to do that is by shutting down
those who went and got coached
on how to get disability for their acne
or things that didn't happen in their service
to be like, no money for you.
And let's give money to everyone that needs it
and even more so.
It's funny to say that because when I was going through
my medical side, like the physical evaluation,
they only gave me 5% for my actual
hip injury.
And the rest, and then after I got through the physical process, they're like,
would you want to see a therapist?
And I was like, yeah, sure.
And after talking to the therapist for like an hour, he's like, I think you have anxiety
and depression.
And that's where like 40.
It correlates it to the military?
Because a lot of people have anxiety and depression outside of that.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, good.
I mean, you're working on lines, right?
Um, no.
So where I work, we have bays that everybody,
works in and basically anything that doesn't require a lift,
like a lift to lift the vehicle we're working on.
I do anything besides like drive units and batteries.
So is it physical?
Yeah.
It just depends on what comes into the bay and what we need to work on.
But your job is physical.
Yeah.
So your injury is not preventing you from doing your job?
No.
I would say, I would say no.
Okay.
Okay.
So $5,500 a month.
Good.
Again, Imperialia should be doing well.
Go on.
I also have a roommate that pays about $800 a month.
Okay, plus $800.
Why the fuck are you here?
Well, I actually went through a divorce because of a Pokemon addiction I kind of got into.
The fuck is a Pokemon addiction?
You know, COVID sitting at home all day.
and COVID.
Yeah, I know.
That was a second ago, big guy.
Big guy.
Hey, long COVID.
Haven't you heard of it?
I mean,
long COVID, man.
Same thing.
Just with debt.
That sounds like the dumbest thing
I've ever heard.
Long debt?
You have long debt.
Yeah.
Just like a lot of people.
Wait, no, no, no.
Explain this divorce Pokemon,
whatever the fuck.
If that's what got you here.
What the fuck you're talking about?
It's, it's, it's,
That's a part of it, but I'm also kind of struggling with buying Legos and it's like a whole other addiction.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That cures your anxiety and depression, I guess.
It's very therapeutic.
One little piece of time.
Yeah.
Everything's cope, so.
Everything's computer.
Uh-huh.
So what the fuck was going on?
So,
me and my ex, we got married.
And, uh, just a military marriage, you know, they go quick.
Yeah, yep.
Well, and we, we, we got together.
We met each other when we were in high school at a job.
And we were together for like two years till she got out of high school.
And then I was already out in the military, because I was a year ahead of her.
Yeah.
And, um, part of her.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you know, grooming.
It's funny.
Go on.
Keep going.
Um, so we, we, we, once she got out of high school and I,
I was already out of the high school for a year.
We got married and we were together for four years.
Boring!
And he said that I had to tear my labor room and I needed it repaired.
Even then, I kind of had, I started spending on Pokemon and I wasn't as bad as before, like, COVID.
Well, okay, well, you weren't as bad as you were before?
What do you mean before?
Like, what is your Pokemon?
I'd like buy a pack or two and then.
Sounds like cigarettes.
Okay.
Yeah, pretty much.
Every day, just one pack and...
What?
A pack, strip it through, you know?
Hope for the best.
Actually, that's...
A f***ing, that's insane.
Uh, yeah.
But it's the cost of a pack!
It's like three bucks.
Yeah, but a day's insane.
Dude, that's over a thousand bucks a year.
Yeah, yeah, it definitely ended up.
And it, I didn't feel it as much.
Uh, and it was just, like you said, it was a cope, but, uh...
And also, I doubt actually at your income level a thousand hours a year is what put you under.
No.
I highly highly high.
highly, there's no way you didn't spend more on Pokemon.
Come on, you had to have spent much more on Pokemon than that.
Well, so when I got out of the Army, I went and I was a contractor on base working on...
I have the number.
15 grand.
Yep.
15,000 on Pokemon.
Yep, and I'm still paying on it.
You're still paying on Pokemon.
Pokemon debt?
Yep.
Sell your fucking!
I did, actually.
I sold it.
You already did.
What did you sell?
So I, when she first.
found out about it and she found out how bad it was. It's like a collection you're acting. And I was
hiding at like one too. But really? Where were you hiding the Pokemon? So we had an attic area in
our house and I'd just shove the box in there. That's insane. What was the intent of the
Pokemon if you had to hide them and you couldn't even like play with them? Well I I got really into
like the Pokemon collection and watching YouTube videos and seeing the values.
I, yeah. You didn't even get to enjoy them. Baskin their
Glory.
Well, I had them in
like cases
and like kept them
so that they wouldn't get bent.
And I had them.
And so in the attic area
that I had like my computer in front of it.
So I was like,
I'd move my computer out and pull it out.
You had your computer in the attic.
No, no.
So the upstairs area,
it's like a large room and that's where I kind of like had a gaming
area.
And there's like a attic that,
oh, a door to the attic where the AC was.
You hid the access to the door with your computer
setup.
Kind of.
That's crazy, guy.
That is crazy.
And so basically when she found out,
she said I had to sell them right then,
or she was going to divorce me.
So I took all the cards and just sold them at a pawn shop for like a third of the price.
And yet she still divorced you.
Yes.
Lose, lose.
Why the f*** did she divorce you?
Probably because my insane husband,
is hiding behind a computer setup
so I don't see a door to the
crawl space in the attic area
where he hides his
Pokemon's like a dead body.
So basically like...
How'd she even find out?
Getting stuff mailed to the door, basically.
I'm pretty sure that's why she saw one box
and she's very bad at hiding addictions, aren't you?
Come on, you go through all that link to hide it in your attic
and then you don't even vet when things are coming?
Well, it was like a two-year thing.
So it took like two years for her to finally.
Because she worked the same schedule as me and usually I got off a little bit before her.
So it was easier to just grab the package and pretend like it didn't happen.
Dude, that's fucking insane.
I hope you know that.
Why'd she divorce you?
So it was like two years later.
And it was after I had gotten out of, like fully out of the military.
And she was struck.
I had started to go to therapy for like my anxiety and depression.
Mm-hmm.
And I had a really bad issue of like just blowing up constantly about like the little things.
And I got-
feeding your wife?
No.
I wasn't the confidence of an answer that I was hoping for.
Well, things got physical, but it wasn't me initiating the physicality.
Uh, this is your opportunity to explain that.
Like I would
Anytime we got an argument
I would try to separate myself from the argument
And I'd close doors behind me
And she'd try to kick down the doors
And if I tried to leave the house
Or leave and leaving my truck
She'd try to stop me from leaving my truck
Leaving them leaving
And it went both ways
I'm not saying like
And what about your way?
Because I'm only here in her way so far
So there's one
Yamava Resort and Casual

You in? Must be 21 to enter.
There's one time when she was cooking something,
And I, I, she gave it to me and I tried it and I didn't like it and I told her that.
And it's kind of hard to remember.
He's every detail, but she, she, I think I got a little more like verbal.
Like, like this, I don't like it.
And she just got to ask me why.
And I was like, I don't like it.
I think it tastes bad.
And it tastes like and I got kind of mean with it.
And so she threw, it was like a, it was like a taco or something or some,
something with a tortilla, but she threw it at me.
And I got up, and I was like, and I tried leaving, and she just kept getting my way.
So, so she kicked me and I grabbed her leg and she fell on the ground.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
And then she kept kicking me, so I held onto her leg.
Uh-huh.
So you guys fought a lot.
Yes.
And it was, it got better when I went to therapy.
because I was able to like, if I got overstimulated, I could be like, hey, I'm getting kind of upset right now.
Give me like five minutes to calm down and we can talk about it.
And that was working for like two years.
And then we got to a point where I just came home from work.
I was like, hey, I'm going upstairs.
I'm going to go play on my computer and relax.
She's like, can I come up and hang out with you?
And I was like, yeah, that's fine.
And so I had like a chair behind me and she sat there just and I literally just,
turned on my computer and it wasn't turned on yet and she's like we really need to clean up here and uh i was
like well it's bleeped it's okay uh i was like well you know i i just got home from work i just want
like 10 minutes to relax like that's all i want and so she started like cleaning and i'm like
i really need some time just calm like relax like today wasn't a good day just give me a few minutes
and she just kept pushing it and uh i was like i'm getting really upset right now like just
just give me five minutes to calm down.
And she did not, she would not leave me alone, basically.
And I freaked out, started yelling.
She called my mom and tried to get my mom to talk to me.
Because you must have been freaking out a lot.
You must have been raging.
Come on.
It was full on.
It was like, I don't even know what.
I genuinely just lost it.
And she called my mom and my mom answered.
My mom was like, Tony.
I don't know what's going on.
Like, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
And I was like, you're what's wrong.
You're the way that you were when I was a child is the reason that is basically blaming her for the rage and me freaking out like I always did.
And then she packed up and laughed or?
No.
She did leave to a hotel for a little bit, but then she came back.
And she was like, I'm not happy.
I don't know if I want to be in this relationship anymore.
and she was like, I'm not sure.
Yeah, who the fuck was happy in this relationship?
And we talked about it and I was like, it's not like I'm happy either.
Like, I'm not sitting here safe.
Right.
So why were you trying to keep her?
Well, so we were talking about it.
And I was telling her like, it's not like I'm happy either.
Like, I'm not saying you deserve me freaking out.
And you don't deserve me, you don't deserve anything that's happened.
I'm not sitting here saying that.
It's just I'm struggling.
and I know you're struggling too.
How many times did you put your hands on her?
Candidly.
Twice.
What was the other time?
I woke up early and I made her coffee
and she was complaining about how I made it
and she was trying to leave so I got in front of her
and kept her from leaving to try to talk to her
because she was trying to go to work.
And?
and
basically
basically just keeping her from leaving
like I blocked the door from her from leaving
But you said you put her hands on her
Yeah unhealthy relationship in every way whatsoever
To be clear
And she was physical with you quite often
It was I would say 50-50
No neither of you should have to be clear
And you guys had a dramatic
A lack of boundaries in every way
You wouldn't let her leave
and force her to talk?
Horrible.
She wouldn't let you have a moment of space
after you got home.
Horrible.
And then your guys'
reactions to either of those,
horrible.
Why the f-
Would you guys be together?
Of course I would say breakup.
My goodness.
Okay.
So, Pokemon's, to be clear,
not the reason for the breakup.
It's the...
It's a fact.
Hitting each other.
Yeah.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
And now you're saying it,
it's gone to Lego.
knows? Yeah. Um, so basically my grandma, she got me a Pyrna Vigiza for Christmas with a light set. And ever since then, I've just kind of been buying. Last Christmas.
I gave you my heart. No, it's been, basically, yeah, since my divorce, about five years.
You're divorced is five years ago. Yes. I'm pretty sure. I try to. And how much is the Pokemon
My, um, continued since then.
Because it was discovered two years before divorce.
Divorces five years ago, so seven years ago.
Yeah.
How much is the Pokemon addiction continued?
Um, I have some just stored away, but I haven't bought any.
So it's transitioned to Lego.
Yes.
Or the last five years.
Tell me about that.
And you're spending on Legos.
Yep.
You said you're just so paying for some Pokemon in here, you said.
Like what the fuck?
You told me that.
No, no, no.
I said, I said I was buying a pack every once in a while.
And you said I'm still paying for that
Oh yeah well no I mean I'm still paying on it as far as like debt
Yes what do you think I just said
It's not like you said I was so buying okay and Lego
So my grandma got me a Pyramid of Giza with like a light set
We got the light set pyramid of Giza yes
And so basically I've just bought like one every once in a while and uh
One everyone's one I don't know what one every once in a while means to you
And also Legos are so Lego sets they're so
They are insane they're hundreds of dollars
hundreds if not thousands sometimes.
Let's talk about student loans.
I know it's something we all avoid talking about,
but if your private stolen 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 6% guaranteed.
That's practically a unicorn in student lending.
Plus, they offer structured payment plans to lower your monthly bill and even a co-senter release program so your mom and dad can step off the hook.
YRIFI 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.

Or call AAA-973-3978.
That is AAA 973-3978.
Break free from the high interest trap and get your finances under control once and for all.
So you didn't get rid of an addiction.
You translated an addiction to something else.
Which is often what happens if we don't actually deal with whatever the fuck we're doing.
It seems to be maybe your cope for whatever issues you're dealing with.
And then that cope has just been translated to another cope instead of actually dealing with it
in helping coping mechanism ways.
Um, yeah.

Buddy, what are we doing?
Have you found a new lady?
No.
Are we shocked?
No.
Yeah.
Are you trying?
I mean, I was talking to somebody a bit ago and literally...
Then she found your collection.
No.
We're Snapchatting.
I'm Tony.
I'm 28 and we're going to meet the next weekend.
And I...
Snapchatting's for...
By the way.
Well, we didn't meet through Snapchatting.
It's just weird.
We talk...
Yeah, but if you transition...
To Snapchat.
That is too...
Basically, she had...
I messed her in the morning like,
hey, I hope you're doing good.
How's class going?
Because she was in college for,
she was in college for, like,
cosmetology or something.
And...
How old is she?
She was 22.
Nice.
Yeah.
But basically, I looked at her message and she said,
it's going pretty good,
lull, and then her account was gone.
Some of...
Like, literally blocked on everything.
Like, I literally just asked her,
how class is going and it was gone.
So you're a goner, you go for the college.
I mean, the younger, the better, right?
No.
I would say, in fact, I would say no.
Biologically, yeah.
When they're most fertile, come on, Caleb.
Oh, my, dude.
Come on, man.
Yeah, I don't have a picture ever.
But, uh, I would say, may I, for the sake of society,
have your bottom be 21.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Okay.
Please and thank you
I was saying other 21
They're too immature
Usually
Uh huh
Yeah I don't have a picture ever
18's legal but you're not 25 anymore
So it's like
You know
I haven't
The last 18 year old I was with was my ex-wife
So we're good
Not her last thing
What did she look like
Um
Just I'm sussing you out right now
Shorter blonde
Kind of
I
Go on
Not like 13 year old short, but, you know.
Not suggesting, nor I did not indicate.
You're implying.
I am not.
I just wanted to see what you're going for.
Not that.
No, I don't care.
I don't care what two legal consenting adults do.
I don't give a, this isn't TikTok or Twitter,
where we over sensationalize everything.
I'm just trying to see.
I'm really trying to look.
No saved photos.
No.
You guys never met?
No.
We were getting ready to that weekend.
Oh.
And then it was like the Wednesday before.
And that was only, that's it?
The most recent.
I was with somebody for like a month before, like actual relationship.
And she was something else.
And she was the 20s, early 20s.
So, you know, staying within that legal range or okay range.
What do you have to define it?
Because the way you're still, I don't know, just, you know.
I actually would like to say, I didn't suggest anything about going too young.
That was you.
You're implying it.
You're implying it heavily.
But regardless, I would, I kind of was wondering if you'd buy me the Eiffel Tower.
Hugh.
Because I, my insider.
You want an Eiffel Tower a 13 year old.
I don't want to.
You can be the other leg of the tower, Caleb.
Like, come on.
I got $140.
of insider credit.
All right.
So if you just give me a $500,
I could get the Eiffel Tower and you get this going.
You get a light set for like $100 for it, I'm sure.
Show me your light set.
Your special little light set.
We'll put it in video.
Stream record?
Well, just send us the picture.
We'll put it up.
That I have because I've put that into a,
I've put in an album just for you.
Oh, here.
That's not Lego.
That's a off brand that my mom's on.
I thought we were doing Lego.
Yeah.
Well, here's Lego.
Here's Lego with a light set.
Okay.
It's Notre Dame, I think, Notre Dame, sorry.
Yeah.
And it has lights inside of it.
And here's a Japanese castle with some lights on it, too.
Yeah, it looks like it just got nuked.
That's about right.
And here's some plants.
A lot of the plants, plant Legos I have, my mom usually gets me because we'll go to
Walmart.
It's like, especially for, for, if it's why you go for young because you're mentally there.
Yeah, pretty much.
Oh my gosh, dude.
You didn't have to say that.
And here's, you know, Taj Mahal.
You know, very, very, endurance.
I don't know what that is.
Okay, yay, you showed me your collection.
I'm really proud of you.
And there's the Titanic.
The four foot long, above water.
Like 10,000 pieces.
How much debt do you have, not including your house?
Because somehow you have been able to scrounge together owning a home.
Other than that, how much do you have?
I think it's around 67.
$7,068.
Looking about 73.
What the fuck is going on?
Why would you continue Legawine?
Well,
so a majority of that is from actually a roof repair on my house.
And also,
I got a truck.
The truck isn't even half of that, dude.
No.
Come on.
So I got the truck when my car was going through somewhere.
I had a Dodge journey
and it was having some transmission issues
and so I was like well I'll just get a truck
Oh, just get a truck
It solves all the problems
Well I took it in to get looked at to get
See if it could be fixed and they quoted me like
7,000 for to fix it or $300
And credit towards another vehicle
And I was like I basically said that
I'd rather just fix it
Get it fixed myself
In which I did you? Yes
Then what the fucker? What are you saying?
Well
So I want a truck regardless.
And basically I spent like a thousand bucks to get my car fixed.
Like I bought a transmission off of eBay motors and got to put it in for like $500.
And it's been running me good for about a year now.
But yeah.
Uh-huh.
I kind of wanted the truck because I want, I'd like to start.
Really excited about this truck.
Well, I'd like to start working on.
cars outside of my actual job.
Okay.
But I'm being told, you already have a dream car from your grandpa.
So why the fuck are we obsessing with this truck that you probably cannot afford it
anyway whatsoever?
Well, I, well, first, I used to the truck to bring the car to Illinois because my, my grandpa,
when my grandpa passed away, he left me basically a hot rod project.
And it's not, what's the car, this dream car?
It's, it's, it's, it's a rat rod.
That's what the car is called?
No, it's what it...
What's the car?
It's literally just a frame and then body panels.
And I still need to put it together.
Is it drivable?
So it's not driving.
No, so you're not pulling up to schools with it currently.
Okay.
Not in that waiting lane yet.
Good.
Thank goodness.
Okay, so you need a car.
Why don't we fix that?
I don't know.
It's sentimental.
Okay.
This is difficult.
He died and when he was currently like in the state.
of dying, he said he hoped he could see it completed before he died.
Mission failed.
Yeah, it's kind of hard when he, I got the car one week and next week he's dead.
And I literally called him the day before he died.
Was that his hall crooks?
Like, I don't know.
It's like as soon as he got in Illinois, he's gone, you know.
But I had called him the day before and then he, when I looked at his Facebook profile, because I was looking at the pictures.
That's how he found out he died?
So it's fucked up.
because I looked at his Facebook and I was unfriended.
And I'm like, what's going on?
I'm so sorry.
The way I found out he died was somebody said RIP Larry on his profile.
And I was like, what the fuck?
And I didn't.
It's not funny that you lost your grandpa, but that is such a ridiculous.
That is such a ridiculous thing.
It's fucked up because I mess.
It's up.
I messaged his girlfriend at the time and was like, hey, hey, he is.
He was on the problem as well.
Want to know a dirty little secret.
I know, I'm not starting an only .

She was within his age range, so he's good.
What's his age range when you get up there?
About 50, I think.
The years difference?
Yep.
Okay.
But he, so I mess.
I texted her like, hey, what's going on with Grandpa?
He's unfredded me.
And I didn't even get a message back for like three days.
And then I finally found out he passed away.
I'm like, that's very, I'm sorry.
That's really hard.
That's really hard.
Yeah, I'm sorry for your loss.
And I haven't even really done.
And I get the car sentimental with it.
I don't want to fuck with that.
I agree.
But I would love you to be able to hopefully drive it and maybe get rid of a truck that we can't afford.
Well, and I would like to keep the truck long term because I, so I got the warranty on it.
Oh my.
Come, car fix guy.
You can fix cars.
Well, the engine completely shit out.
And I didn't at that point have a way to repair it, and that's why I got the...
Wait, which on which car?
What?
The truck.
The truck, the engine already shit itself.
Yep.
So, the truck that we owe on?
So my big, uh, RAM 1500, uh, the hemi, uh, shit out on it, which was common because it doesn't get enough oil pressure to the top of the engine.
I thought we specifically bought this truck because the engine got, the transmission got ficked in another car.
Yeah.
And, uh, well,
So are you trying to like make this into a business repairing things?
I would like to at some point.
And I've already when my...
Oh, I'm being told you want to open it with your mom?
Well, no.
So my mom, she went to school to work on motorcycles.
And I was like, and I told her like instead of working in a factory,
she'd actually do what she enjoys and like actually use the...
Oh, mother.
You seem like you've been coddled by mother.
I wish.
But she's like in her 50s.
She's...
You seem like someone that would still be stuck in the tit.
I mean, I love my mom.
I mean, I don't know.
Okay.
Her tits are a little saggy, but, you know.
Okay.
Do not start a business with saggy-titty mother, please.
No, I wasn't planning on it.
I just wanted to help her.
Why did you tell Colton that?
Because I have the note from that.
Well, because, well, or she wants to.
Right now she's working at a factory, and she's not, and she has a degree, like, from Phoenix, Arizona for MIT or UTI.
I don't know the exact name for it.
You even say.
I forget the exact name for it.
But it's like the mechanical institute.
And she went to Phoenix specifically to get the degree and she's not using it.
And I told her like I'd help her get it.
Like I wanted to help her to like pursue that.

What a, what a start.
Navy Federal.
It's four vats.
Well, or at least you got to know,
or be related to one in some kind of way to get in, right?
And they love you because you have a literal 20,000!
What the f*** possibly?
Is this Lego?
Is this Titanic?
What is this?
It's Pokemon cards and the cash advances, basically.
For the Pokemon's?
And for the Likos.
The cash advances for the toys!
What the fuck?
That is insane.
In what world possibly is this considered reasonable in any way?
Hey, by the way, how long does this take to pay off if you do not purchase on it?
And you only put your minimums towards it, which you do.
I think about like 40 or 50.
31, but that's still crazy.
That is crazy.
You'll be nearing retirement age.
I know.
And that's kind of part of the reason where I was like, I started seeing your show and I was like,
I really need to get my shit together.
That's great.
Because we're not...
So you wanted to get your shit together when you started watching the show.
So you would do good things because we had, you know, a bit of money coming last month.
That NCVA hit, but 4,778 hit from payroll.
What was the outflow?
What was the outflow?
Because you're learning, because you're doing things.
You're getting your shit together.
What was the outflow?
I actually have rocket money and I think it's still like seven.
Close.
$6,700, $7.78.
$0.59.
That was your outflow.
So that's getting our shit together.
That's, I'm getting better.
That's I've seen the show and I'm turning it around.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You never, did you listen with the volume off?
What did, were you doing?
Well, it's crazy.
Did you turn on the show, go into the other room and just sit there and goon?
It's even crazier because I didn't even process the idea that minimum payment would last like 30 years until I saw your show.
And I was like, okay.
So I'm.
And then you did nothing.
Listen, I know when you see the.
number 30, you're like,
ew, that's disgustingly ancient.
That doesn't mean you can't start making progress towards it.
You didn't do anything.
You didn't do anything.
I'd rather just play with Legos, man.
I'm sorry that it's not a freshly 18 number.
Hey,
those Legos are at least for 18-year-olds, all right?
At minimum.
So us getting our shit together is nothing.
Again, you spent more than you made.
So you found the show.
Oh, I need to get my shit together.
here's a wake-up call and then we do nothing with it.
Well, that month, I'm pretty sure I sold.
I bought a Kia while my truck...
Add your income.
Well...
That would be included in your income.
Well, I bought a Kia when my truck, in my journey,
we're both getting worked on.
And I fixed it up a little bit.
And I actually sold to my mom around that time.
And I put the cash in there, I'm pretty sure.
Well, I'm being told you put your closing costs on your house on this card as well.
I believe so.
That's fucking insane.
In what world did you think you were possibly ready for a house if you have to use a credit card for the closing costs?
Well, luckily...
The Peoria's cheap!
Well, and luckily with the VA loan, it was like $1,000 for closing costs.
But that's not what that necessarily means at all times.
That doesn't mean that's...
Yes, that makes it easier to get in a housing.
That doesn't mean necessarily a good thing for you.
Because I doubt you had a fully front of an emergency fund,
and that means your equity position and the leniency in it in order to sell your house
and not lose money and have to write a check was probably a micro dick size.
So it's even, I just kind of figured like instead of putting like 1,500 towards an apartment,
it would be better to put like 1,100 towards a house and just like have that actually.
Not when you can't afford a house because then it's a disaster.
And I actually had a kind of, I had roof repairs, which that's another loan on there.
And I think that's like a whole other story on a...
Let me guess, your roof wasn't good, so you had to repair it.
Yeah.
Yeah, thrilling story.
So, well, I was on the roof and I could write a book about that one.
I'll put in my 13 reasons why.
But I basically, I was on the roof, clearing out the gutters.
and I kept, and there was like a weak spot.
And I felt like I had to get it repaired.
And when I was going through the process for the loan,
I told them I couldn't get the loan
because I had my truck payment.
And to clarify, you're joking about the 13 reasons why thing, correct?
Yeah.
Thank you.
This would be a different conversation of sale.
Okay, your minimum monthly payment on here
is $496.45.
That show pussed out.
That show pussed out when it came to the guy bringing the AR-15 to the school.
I've literally only seen reels of it,
so I have not watched it besides reels.
If they were going to be a full real-world,
how shit is out there, they pushed out.
Oh, yeah.
Like the Charlie Crick assassination.
What?
That was pretty crazy.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Did you see the video when it came out?
I think everyone saw the video.
That was...
Many of which against our will.
Yeah.
What are you the one who did it?
No.
I like Charlie Kirk.
Okay.
I made him my banner on Facebook before I deleted Facebook, like a picture of him.
Or like a painting.
Uh-huh.
What, after the death?
Yeah.
Well, it's very sad.
No one should die.
No one any time should die.
But yeah.
Well, having this conversation with you,
I'm afraid that you're going to do that to me later.
Buy me an Eiffel Tower.
We might not have a problem.
Get light set, you know, you'll really be my good graces.
So I have to bribe you for my life to buy an Eiffel Tower set?
Yeah.
Okay.
Your minimum fee payment is substantial of $496.45.
For your regular paycheck, that's already an eighth of your income.
That's huge.
That f*** you.
Well, more like a 16th, but even still.
No, an eighth, right?
Yeah.
You know the holidays are coming when your fridge is full of leftovers
and your living room is full of guests?
And let me tell you,
folding chairs from the garage doesn't cut it anymore.
And that is why I started shopping on Wayfair.
I got this cozy armchair that looks like it costs a fortune,
but I got it during their Black Friday sale for way less.
Plus, it showed up fast.
And I don't have to lift anything heavier than my.
phone to order it. Wayfair is the go-to for all things home. Furniture, cookware, rugs, holiday
decor. Yes, even the inflatable snowman your HOA probably hates. Absolutely not. No whimsical
statuary visible from the street. And the selection, you're not seeing the same basic stuff every
other store has. It's actually fun to scroll. And right now during their Black Friday sale,
you can get up to 70% off. Don't miss out on the early Black Friday deals. Head to Wayfair.com
to shop Wayfair's Black Friday deals
for up to 70% off.
That is W-A-Y-F-A-I-R.com.
Sale ends December 7th.
Now let's get back to the podcast.
Okay.
When it comes to numbers,
you have nothing to say, do you?
But when it comes to...
It's hard to argue numbers.
Numbers...
Unless it's attached to the pair of tits, right?
Well, you don't see that number.
But you should clarify it.
Always clarify.
Always check IDs before you do anything.
verify age, make sure it's not a fake ID.
You'll be happy about this.
Or maybe it's too high for you, but I don't know.
An 18% interest rate.
Dude, the interest charges here so far as $2,180.74 cents.
I just, I thought I could afford it.
I thought, you know, it's just part of my paycheck going out of the way.
I thought part of your paycheck, yes.
I'd say actually half, more than half of your paycheck has gone to interest this year so far in this card alone.
And at the time of the statement, it was just,
Look at that.
The payment.
It was just, it was halfway through the year.
So this would be an entire month's work that you done
will go to the interest on this card alone
because you're putting dumb shit from your down payment,
from Legos, from Pokemon, cash advances.
And you'd be spending on it.
And if it wasn't borderline maxed out,
I don't know for a fact based on your behavior
and the spending than of you spending more money
than you make anyway.
So, yeah.
I mean,
a whole month of you outs.
there grinding
goes to this
interest this year. Grinding for
those Legos man
can't be grinding for minor
Yeah but you stop
Gotta work, got to do Legos
I'm still distracted. What? So you don't do that?
Yeah
Colton, any chance
I can get a hard drive check in the
Post show, please. I don't
want to look at it either in a more official
capacity
Okay
Okay, okay.
Yeah,
Yes, grinding for the Legos.
I agree.
Remember, that an entire month's worth of income could have gone to Legos,
but instead of to Legos, just go into interest.
So that's not grinding for Legos.
That's grinding for your previous sets.
It's not future sets.
And...
Go on.
What are you trying to say?
It's just easier just to ignore the problem and just kind of set it to the side
and not think about it.
It is, yeah.
Handed under the sand.
It absolutely will.
But once it,
gets to the point where you're unable to pay for a mortgage, then what do you do?
Then it just rolls downhill.
And everything...
Explain.
You lose your house?
I mean, luckily, I've never lost a house.
My house in Kansas, I actually lost...
I've had to pay a little bit of money in.
But, and even then, I only got, like, a few hundred bucks out of it.
You made money.
Like, a few hundred bucks.
The one down in Kansas...
So you're going to end up in that situation again, and that's even if you're lucky.
Yeah.
according to zill in my house is like
16. Okay Colton wants me to ask to see
your wishless cart
Oh, my Lego Insiders cart
Your Lego Insiders cart, yeah
What's sitting in the car for Lego Insiders?
Well, right now it's the
Let's see, no, just show me. I want to fucking see it
Yeah, I guess you told Colton in the green room before this
He was just so excited
Look at my Lego! Yeah, well it's more of the wish list
The wish list is where all the stuff is
Look at my legos
But yeah, in my bag I have the Eiffel Tower
you and then on the other list
and the wish list
or screen recording too
oh I have nothing against Legos by the way
I really don't so on here
I have like show show show let's see

Mineral collection.
Mona Lisa,

she looks like she has Down syndrome
when she's the Lego form,
so I don't know if we're getting that.
I see myself in there, all right?
Yeah.
Fountain Garden,
traditional chess set.
do you play chess?
I have
What the fuck are we doing?
Trevi Fountain
The creeper
The Battle droid
Endermine Tower

Bonsai trees
Hibiscus
No Squashkin
Castle
Game Boy, that's
crazy
to considering this.
Don't you even come close to considering this?
That is all...
That was all...
We are not going into debt for Down syndrome, Mona Lisa.
We're not.
I'm sorry, we're not.
It's a self-portrait.
Come on.
And then the plants, they'd never die.
So they'd just make them...
Listen, I have nothing against Legos.
I don't really give a fuck what adults do.
There's nothing wrong with labels.
You're going into debt.
And are we surprised that you can't get a girl to meet you?
Are we not surprised?
Do you have a dating profile?
I made a tender when I got here.
When you got to Austin?
Yeah.
Well, we will review that in the post show with our dating expert B-dog.
I don't know if I want his input.
I know he went out with a kid recently.
It was an accident.
And it was...
Same thing.
He tried to get her home safely.
Instead of abusing his position like you would.
Abusing my age isn't abusing a position.
An age isn't a position.
It's constantly changing.
She tried to grab his dick when he was trying to get her home safely.
Are you saying you wouldn't allow that?
I know for a fact you and your situation would allow it.
No, I've been around kids.
I don't let them just happen.
It was in his car.
Same effect.
Dependency.
He acted very appropriate.
I cannot say I have the confidence he would do the same.
That's all I'm saying.
PayPal credit.
What's going on?
That's kind of my kryptonite right now.
It's what I use more than anything.
Just because...
There is no way you have not gone.
for a happy massage.
I actually haven't.
Come on.
I really haven't.
The two people I've ever asked that to in the history of the show,
I know for a fact to have and both say they haven't.
I really haven't.
Like, I had a friend at my work who said that he'd go to them,
but I genuinely have not.
I have heavy doubt.
If I did, you've seen on statement, wouldn't you?
Not necessarily.
Happy fun time, place, happy ending.

You don't ever see a massage on there, though.
Okay, well, you can get a massage.
There's nothing wrong with getting a massage.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just saying you won't see one on there.
Well, maybe it wasn't in this month.
I mean, I got $250 in my pocket.
Like, I don't know if they say on the statement,
and we do illegal behavior here.
Okay.
So pay for credit, yes?
Continue.
With, by the way, fees, great.
Why?
It was a late fee.
$41 late fee, asshole.
Why?
I just didn't watch my money close enough.
Why?
And I had a bunch of payments come out once,
and that was on automatic payment.
Isn't that, then that happens every time.
If it's automatic, so you should have been able to expect it,
and you know that would coming.
I think that was when my car was getting worked on
and they were charged.
They made me pay like $300 for electrical diagnosis.
And I just didn't.
I just like you said,
I don't have a savings or emergency fund.
And that's kind of where I'm kind of going back and over and over
and constantly at like the limit of where I can.
The minimum payment is 41, right?
Yeah.
You couldn't make a $41 payment.
Not when that late payment came.
You're hitting, you're going that low in your checking account,
bring in $6,300.
A month.
Whenever I have an emergency, yeah.
How much was the emergency then?
Well, it was, so it was an electrical diagnosis.
Yes, how much?
And they charged like $300 for it.
VA did not cover.
For electric, for a car?
I don't know.
What is it?
Wait, what was it?
A car.
Oh, it wasn't.
My journey, my journey, my Dodge journey.
Sorry, I thought it was something medical.
No, no, no.
300?
So, 300 makes or break you, making 63?
without emergency fund, yeah
It's not about an emergency fund
You should have a little bit of fluff in your checking account
So $300
payment
popped up and that was an emergency
that pushed us to the brink yet in the same month
You spend $471.669 going out to eat
Make that make sense
Make that make sense Mr. Tony
Make that make sense
Some people like the fluff I got to keep the fluff on
You know
The minority
Gotta be even more obese, you know
The minority, like the fluff unless you're getting yourself a feeder.
Cushing for the pushing, you know.
Nope.
It's not good to be fat.
As a fat man, it is not good in any way whatsoever.
There is no benefit.
I've lost like 30 pounds.
Not an age, not a nothing, not energy.
There's no benefit.
I've lost like 30 pounds in the past few months.
That's good.
Certainly wasn't because you spent $500 going out to eat.
You cannot tell me that you were late making a $41 payment because you had a $3.
payment because you had a $300
emergency pop up when you spent basically $500
going out to eat. You cannot tell
me that.
That is no sympathy.
You would have sympathy with me
if all the money coming in was going to
minimumity payments and living expenses only,
survival, and then something hits that you can't
afford that's an emergency, yes.
But that's not how this worked. You spent $500
going out to eat. That was the choice.
That was you.
The McDonald's fries are pretty good.
They are. I love them.
I'm a fellow theft.
Especially when they're like, oh, buy $20 worth of stuff and then you get fresh for free.
It's like, all right, there we go.
And then everything you buy there is like $10.
Shut the fuck up.
There is no sympathy here.
You were choosing that.
You cannot complain.
You cannot complain about a $300-hour purchase.
Stecking up.
Miscellaneous bullshit alone.
Those could be video games.
It could be Pokemon, Legos.
That was $600.
Double what you said your emergency was that put you in the ground.
So, fuck you.
We're talking minimum,
and we have other large purchases
and unknown shopping that we're going to go through
and find out if it's bullshit
of an additional in 1,300,
but either way,
either way, you had at minimum,
at minimum,
$1,100 of bullshit.
Minimum, and you're telling me $300
is what destroyed our life.
You.
That is immature, that is irresponsibility,
that is not owning up for our,
own actions. That is not acting like an adult. That is a loser who was divorced because he couldn't
keep his hands off his wife five years ago and stop his addictions. And now can't land a single
date going out and coping with his life. I've had dates. Did they know? I mean,
it's not something you talk about on a date. At least not the first date. Uh-huh. Talking to a girl at a
bus stop. It's not a date. 35%
interest rate. This is insane. This is insane. This is disgusting. This is unacceptable.
You are laid on that. You allow this in order for you to go to Mickey Frizzies and get some
Legos. This is not a life that you deserve as a human on this earth to have, but it is the one that
you are choosing to live. Choosing to live again, if everything was barely breaking even because
you were just doing necessities and nothing else and you weren't f*** around, you would have my full
sympathy, full sympathy and I would cry the tears with you, but you are blowing at minimum
$1,100 on bullshit.
Bullsh, over, that is a sixth of your income.
The bullsh, and you cry to me about a $300 payment.
You.
Capital one business.
Yeah, big business guy?
What's your business?
Is this the car repair?
Yeah, I actually, I did make, I did make a LLC.
Great, really.
I use that card to buy some tools basically
Like oh yeah
You have $150.85 cents to transaction
So what's that?
Um
I think that was for
Uh
Pesty
I
They had a yearly subscription
Huh?
What's a pesty?
It's like a bug control
Like
They
basically a treatment system for your house
So you could keep
Like I was having
Ants come in my house
And I use that card
A year before that transaction
to pay for it.
You're $1,598 with the minimum fee payment of $50, $35, $34.34 of interest,
accrued, only making the minimum.
And without purchasing of which you do, by the way, this would take 15 years to pay off.
So much longer than that.
Well, it has a, Pestey has a yearly subscription plan, and I just forgot to cancel.
I did cancel.
Good.
I mean, it's as easy as that big guy.
But you obviously spent more than just $150 recently to boost it up to this $1,500.
to your business that doesn't make money, right?
Right, right, right?
Right.
I don't want to hear it again.
I got a welder though, so, you know, I've used it a few times.
But I, if you want to actually make money somewhere,
I'll get you a course career certification if you look for a change in a career field.
Lots of people in our audience have done that and it's boosted their income and they changed jobs.
I'll do that for you.
But what the fuck is this?
Your business isn't a business.
It's a hobby and you're justifying and to spend money on interest or cream cards that you cannot pay off.
I don't want to f***ing it.
Well, I actually, since I was in the business,
the VA and I have disability. I also have
the GI Bill and I would like to
get to the point where I could actually utilize
it for
What's that point?
What do you view as being that point?
Lower
payments and kind of have
How can we get there if we spend $1,100
minimum on bullshit likely approaching
$1,500 to $2,000?
Tighten up and stop buying
Legos. Sure, but you don't. So
you haven't been. I know that.
So you already know what you want to do, but
Clearly, that is not what you care about.
You care about the literal $5,000 sitting in your Lego.
I know.
The Apple Tower is calling my name right now, honestly.
Huh?
That Eiffel Tower is really calling my name.
Why do we care about the Eiffel Tower?
There's a fake one in Vegas.
It's French, you know, homeland.
You know, enjoy it.
You were born in France.
No.
Shut the fuck out.
I mean, you told Colton you were literally, you're going to buy it in the green room.
Like, you are going to buy it.
I said if I'm going to yell at it, I might as well buy it.
What?
That makes no sense.
Explain that because that makes no sense to me.
I just, it's, I, it's just, uh, if I'm going to get yelled at it, might as well buy it.
Not, there's no point to get yelled.
Hey, you just repeated it again.
There's no point.
There's no point in getting yelled about it.
If, yelled about it, if you're not just going to do it anyways.
Huh?
If I'm going to get yelled about something, I might as well do it.
I'm going to get arrested for something.
I may as well do it.
What are you talking, like, what, what is this logic?
I don't, if I'm getting trouble for it, why wouldn't I just do it?
What?
That's the reason.
That's not the reason, but that's certainly a negative consequence of doing something,
meaning it would be a reason to not do it.
Yeah, but then I could also get the dopamine of building it and having it in my collection,
and I could put lights on it and make it even cooler.
And then, you know, maybe do some field trips to show it off.
They said everything else you said in this conversation.
This is not making me feel good about you leaving this building.
Oh, $1,457.91 cents on this pro-form financing.
What is this pro-form financing?
So that's actually a treadmill.
Ever used or put together?
Yeah, it's in my garage.
I have a little, so my house has a three-car, a three-bay garage.
And one bay I have a weight set and then my treadmill.
The other bay is the rat rod, and the last bay is where I have, like, my tools.
So, you owe $1,457, then I know one cents on the treadmill must be a pretty nice treadmill,
but the $45 minimum monthly payment.
Now this is interest free.
Is their deferred interest?
No.
As long as I make every single payment.
I don't have a second page.
As long as I make every single payment, it'll be interest free.
Which the reason I kind of...
Equal 39 payments.
Which, that's kind of the reason...
45.
Okay, yeah, that is true.
That's kind of the reason I went for it is because I was already paying...
for a gym membership.
Yeah, sure, I get that.
But here's the thing.
With you, the fact is,
you're just adding more debt to the pile,
more minimum payment to the pile
that you can no longer control.
And with that, again, remember,
you have a $45 payment here,
the $41 payment from the PayPal credit you missed.
Like, adding more minimumity payment,
a gym you can cancel, you can go on walks.
I would like you to have a gym, absolutely.
But worse comes to worse, you can get rid of it.
You can't get rid of this.
You can try to sell it,
but you're not going to be able to eat the entire amount.
So with this, you're just,
adding more to the pile of minimumity payments that you can not control,
and it's going to fuck you come time for another $300 payment to hit.
It's also got a four-year warranty on it.
So if anything breaks or anything breaks.
Listen, where Jim doesn't have a warranty, doesn't need a warranty.
They'll fix their shit.
This makes no sense.
This is you are obligated to pay it legally contracted $1,500.
You can cancel a gym.
Now, again, I want you to go to the gym,
but you're in a situation where you literally told me
you couldn't make a $41 minimum fee payment on the PayPal.
You were late on that.
Why would I want and advocate for you adding a $45 minimum payment from this pro-form financing,
even if it is for an item on a payment plan that is decent?
Wishing you could be there live for the big game, soaking up the atmosphere in a crowd.
But too often, life gets busy or the price holds you back.
Price line is here to help you make it happen.

Book it with Priceline.

Actual prices may vary, limited time offer.
It's just easier.
It just makes it easier and it makes it,
I figured that it would be worth it
in the sense of having the availability.
Just, oh, go out to the garage, work out, go.
Sure, but you can also run outside or walk outside as well
or jog outside whatever you're doing on the treadmill.
It's just easier.
Also, you're in Peoria.
It's not even that hot.
It's been pretty hot.
Shut the fuck up.
It's not hot.
I am from the Midwest.
Shut the fuck up.
You don't know how.
You've never heard hot in the life.
It's actually,
no,
my garage is actually cooler because of,
no, no.
It doesn't matter.
You are not hot outside.
It is okay.
Go, run.
90 degrees is pretty hot.
Oh, 90 degrees.
Sounds like a nice fall day.
Shut the fuck up.
No, 70 degrees is a nice fall day.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not hot there.
Shut up.
You're fine.
People run here at 110.
I got a bad hip.
It just makes it easier having the smooth,
constant taste.
with but then go to the gym to do it again.
You can, if you cannot afford them,
$42 a minute to pay me, you cannot afford this.
It is good financing.
It is a good purchase.
The gym membership was 30.
The gym membership was 30, so 45.
Of which you can get out of when you need to.
And 30 is cheaper.
I don't know if you know how numbers.
It is cheaper, but long term, 45, I would have that.
And on top of the four year warranty,
it just ensures that long term investment.
Shut the fuck.
Affirm, what is going on?
are here, you were not able to pull it up as my document says,
he couldn't figure it out.
What the, what is even the affirm?
So, um, my sister actually asked,
has been asked me to take her to a Billy Elish concert.
And, uh, so basically I, I just affirmed the tickets in the whole,
basically the whole travel plan.
It was 1,200?
Yeah, the whole thing?
Pretty much.
Oh, well, so.
She's great.
I've seen her in concert.
You can't afford it.
Your sister.
The concert was like 600 and then basically that's the flights in the Expedia package.
Where's the concert?
Florida.
Why did you go to the Florida one?
Do something closer.
Oh, so you can afford it.
And listen, again, we all love Billy Eilish, especially us Gooners.
They are substantial.
But you cannot afford this in any way whatsoever, especially for double people.
Well, we're actually bringing her boyfriend's daughter with us.
because she promised her that she, my sister promised her.
You didn't pay for that?
No, so.
But you paid for your sister?
I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid the majority.
How's your sister?
She's 26.
She can pay for her own damn tickets.
You can't afford this.
You can't afford you going alone.
She, she actually gave me $800 towards the total.
Great.
You still can't go.
You shouldn't, this is not something you can do.
I don't want you to have these experiences,
but not when you've done everything in your life.
life to just live for fun now and pay for it later. Now is later. You can't do it. You're still
paying for your McDonald's from three years ago. Like this doesn't make sense anymore. This is what
a responsible adult does. She sacrifices. She's been asking to go for like the past two years.
Good. She can go then. She can go then. She is she? We have the same mom so probably. She's 26.
She can go herself. I hear she has a boyfriend. That's the rumor I heard. He doesn't like
going to social stuff.
Doesn't matter.
She can still go and with the kid as well.
Yeah.
Well, and it's funny because when I landed
in Dallas... That's hilarious.
She messes me saying that she wants to go see
corn at some point.
I don't... I still don't care what she wants
to see. Why does she want to see matter
at all in any way whatsoever? You are not her.
You are not her father. You are not her boyfriend.
I don't give a... If you can afford it, then
you do it and we celebrate that. You cannot.
You are still paying for Pokemon literally
over five years ago. So I
I do not want to hear this.
Corn.
Shut up.
Well, she's done a lot for me.
I rather just, you know, enjoy.
I want to spend time with my sister.
Spend time with your sister.
You do not need to spend $1,200 to spend time with your sister.
And if you do, she's a bad sister.
Well, it's either that or we go out and get plastered on Everclear.
So, you know, it's one or the other.
You can't go to a park and enjoy the sunset?
No.
It's easier to talk and have a conversation when you're drunk.
Oh, your life sucks.
What's your minimum fee payment to affirm?
I think it's like $200 because I did the zero interest have paid in this amount of time.
Minder, you can't make a $41 payment, so we'll see how this goes.
Especially, look, now we have another substantial minimum payment.
This must be the truck, right?
That's the truck.
$40,648.77?
That's the truck and roof repair.
What?
So when I was going through the roof repair, or when I was looking into it, they offered to give me cash to pay.
put towards the truck to make the payment for the roof repair more feasible.
How much is the roof repair cost?
23.
And then they gave me 17 to pay towards my truck.
What's the truck worth?
I actually took it in to see if I couldn't sell it and they just they said they'd give
me eight for it.
You'll $40,000 on an $8,000 truck.
Well, it's the roof and the truck.
It's the roof and the truck.
But the debt is likely tied to it.
$40,000 debt lean on an $8,000 truck that is insane.
I don't know if that debt is leaned against the truck.
Because they didn't, they don't have the title for it.
What's the interest rate on this?
15%.
For something we are underwater on by $32,000.
$32,000 underwater.
Underwater by over.
The original.
Shut up, 75% over that.
And then we have a 15% interest rate.
of death on that.
Oh my gosh, guy.
Oh, my goodness.
What have you done?
The original interest rate on the truck
when I first got it was like 18.
So I saw 15 I thought it would be better.
Oh, and you're considering solar.
He's considering financing solar.
You live in the Midwest.
Clouds.
They did the service and they said I could.
Yeah, the salesman.
said what?
Yeah.
What did the salesman say?
Uh, $150 a month, a 2.5% increase.
Okay.
Very good.
For leasing the solar panels.
And they would prepare the rest of my roof, basically.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Now Mr. Beedog, Brandon, the one vetting your profile, the translator, you know him,
you love them.
Sold solars, door-to-door at one point, please.
Tell us, how good of a deal is he getting?
You're getting fucked?
Do not consider this.
Do not consider this.
He literally sold this product.
He's doing the exact same job that you are being sold to.
My, my electric bill is like $300.
Oh my goodness.
He fell for every talking point.
He fell for every talking point.
And he's now parroting them.
Dude, are you kidding me?
I'm just solar can be good.
If you're in Arizona, Texas or California.
ain't you ain't you tit the roof repair is the main reason i was interested in it because your roof
has been repaired well no that that that loan was for like a set my roof is huge like there's multiple
layers and multiple angles and so the solar would have a McMansion well how many square feet you got
i don't i don't know the exact square feet i don't know the exact same ish ish how many bed how many bath uh
it's three bed two baths and there's also another room which i would consider a bedroom but
it's an office probably
it's a pretty good size though you fit
a bed but it's an office yeah I use it
as my
okay you probably have like a 15 to 2,000
square foot
1500 to 2,000 square foot house
your roof isn't that crazy
if you saw it you'd understand
and it probably has weird McMansion crevies
yeah you don't understand if you saw it I get it I know
I know houses but basically the
they said that they were prepared the whole garage roof
and then basically anywhere the solar panels were going
which is my garage and then
You're getting these fucking solar panels.
No.
Oh my goodness.
No, you're convinced.
You're sold.
I was in the process of actually doing it and then they canceled it.
And I think it was because of the tariffs.
Like, because when, you know.
They canceled?
I think so.
Because I just looked at it and said, uh, pending, pending, pending, pending.
And it's been like that for the past like two years.
Good.
Let it be pending forever.
Please.
Please.
15% on a car were underwater by over 75%
disgusting
disgusting in every way
whatsoever
another Navy federal
this looks like a personal loan right
what's this for
I think that that might be for the
for the what
for the truck
a second debt on the truck
well so like I said
the roof repair loan
they gave me 17 to put towards the truck
but I still had 4,000
that I needed the finance
and I wanted to get out of the loan
that was in with a different bank
than Navy Federal
because it was at 18%
and so I went to a lower interest rate.
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is one of you.

So like Brandon's type.
Yes, exactly.
Okay, you're a parisocial.
Whatever happened is just classic.
Why do we got to bring tentacles into things?
Why do we got to bring?

Okay, so truck 2.0, I guess.

The minimum monthly payment of $92?
This is going to take forever to pay off.
$92.18.
Yeah, I think it's that low because I got the longest term.
Yeah, and an 11% interest rate.
It's like 17 months.
Wonderful.
Mortgage.
$142,544.
$58.
$5.25% interest rate.
Not bad.
It was originally like 7.125.
You refinanced?
Yeah.

Okay.
I refinanced to the $5.25.
That's interesting.
$1,187.42.
Type in your address, big boy.

Many things you said in this conversation have been concerning.
And the way you had a relationship with the X is concerning.
And then just everything...
It's all concerning.
That's all concerning.
Part of the reason.
Okay, $6,300.
We're reporting for the income.
All right.
Debt payments, Navy Federal Credit card, $496.45.
PayPal credit, $41, $50 for the Capital One business, $45 for the pro-form financing, $200 for a firm, $641.91 for the truck and roof.
and then the truck 2.0 is $92.18.
And then we'll do the mortgage separately.
But your debt minimum fee payments down, including mortgage, is $1,566.54.
And then our mortgage is sitting at $1,187.42 cents.
Now, utilities and everything combined.
Internet, utilities, gas electric, what?
How much?
I think it's like 500, 400.
I'll do five.
Phone bill.
80.
And I actually,
where I work,
they offer a phone
stipend or like basically like...
Do it.
Does it cover that amount?
I do, I do. I do. Like every month I have to submit my bill.
That's a good in your pay.
Yes.
Okay.
So it's 80 bucks.
And remember,
we did include the rent that his roommate gives them
and that 63 that comes in.
So hopefully that person doesn't leave or else you get $800.
But either way.
Gas, room from drive, drive.
How much a month?
Probably like 100 bucks, if I had to guess.
Just sit inside getting an internet purchases all day.
Minecraft, man.
I'm playing it constantly.
Oh, we know.
Car insurance.
I think it's like, my last bill is like 120.
Okay.
You can do $300 of food, groceries, meal plan, cook a few times a week,
warm it up, lots overnight outs.
You're going to be doing good, yummy things.
It's all healthy.
It's three meals a day plus snack.
and dessert, you'll be fine, meal prep.
I actually got overnight oats from Costco because they have like a bigger box.
Okay, that's probably a more expensive way to do it, but we'll see.
$100 for TV fund and anything else you need to survive.
Medical or healthcare?
You have co-pays and stuff to do?
I have VA medical, so.
Okay.
Besides like...
Subscriptions, let's try to do 50 because you got some games.
Do you have any pets?
Please know.
I have a dog.
Age and health?
He's a 5 and he's pretty good health.
$50 for pen insurance.
How much for dog food?
I'd say like
30 bucks a month
I just get a big day
Anything else that needs to be in your budget
that I have not taken an account
I don't believe so
okay
well we got wiggle room for days
meaning your debt situation is absolutely moronic
so $4,083
so what I will do
is give you
what is that
$417, $416
for fun in your budget
oh
Let's bring you to 4,500, 6,300,
divided by 4,500.
That means you have an extra $1,800 even after fund,
because you being in the debt is the dumbest,
the piece of shit.
No reason for you to be in debt.
I'm not able to get the Eiffel Tower with that.
Shut the fuck up.
You have 72,000 hours of bad debt,
$1,800 a month to put towards it.
It takes 40 months to pay off.
That is not that bad given how substantial the debt is.
So it's over three years.
Call it four years when we get the entire emergency fund
and everything together.
a little wig of a room there.
You're totally fine.
Dude,
this is going to be a little bit
of a grind,
but I gave you fun money.
F-off.
Cough!
Cough!
Well, I actually got in an argument
with a friend
about wanting to, like,
tighten down recently.
Because I told him I was kind of looking at jet skis
and then he started buying jet skis
and said he was really looking forward to me
buying a jet ski from him and I was like,
I can't.
And I got in a little bit of a confrontation about it.
Great.
Many of you will talk more about that in the post show.
We're also going to call his mom in the post show
and do the dating app, uh, do the dating app audit as well.
But let's get his hammer financial score.
Hammer financial score.
Spending a budget overspent zero, 10 debt.
No collections.
He can pay off his debt.
He's being moronic with it and he missed the payment, but it's a two out of 10 debt wise.
Emergency fund, there is nothing zero out of ten retirement.
Definitely behind for your age, but at least you got something there.
I'm going to give it a two out of ten real estate.
Real estate, yeah.
I mean, you break even you don't have an incredible equity position.
You still got to do some things to the roof, it sounds like.
So I'm going to give it a.
six out of ten because of some things you just got to take care of and then get more of a position
in the marketplace.
It's going to be a hammer financial score.
Two out of ten.
