I prayed about it, and then as I was going to sleep, I heard a voice. And I said, "Let me just try only." Okay, I'm being told you made $200,000 in 6 months. Where the heck did that go? I purchased my mom. How much? How much? Possibly.

Hi, my name is Monica. I'm 25 years old from St. Pete, Florida, and this is Financial Audit.

St. Pete, Florida? Yes. Very cool. Thanks for coming over to Austin. What do you do for a living there? I am a registered dietitian. Cool. Can you help me not be fat? Sure, absolutely. Advice number one, it's all about what you can add, not what you can take away. So, everyone's always, "I can add a lot of McDonald's." The right foods. We'll talk. We'll talk about it at a later date. I don't think this is the time. My show. Cool. What are you making in this job? I make $6,000 a month.

St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg. Okay. I don't know as much. Florida is one of the more expensive states. St. Petersburg, I don't really know as much. It's 6% above the national average for income. As far as like St. Petersburg or you? No, St. Pete. The $6,000 hits your account on a monthly basis. Good. How are you living off the $6,000? How are things going? Uh, it's going good enough right now. So, I have a lot of debt, clearly. Sure. So, I need to figure out how I can.

Why did not you put your debt on a diet? I have. Or your spending or your life, have you? Uh, it's what everyone says. Yeah. Very recently. Very recently, I will say I didn't pay attention until probably a month ago. Tell a month ago. How about a month ago? I started watching your show. Okay. I had never, um, seen my banks, my credit card statements before. You never looked at anything? Nope. Why? 'Cause I felt like I never had to because I was making enough money to where I was just consistently saving. And $6,000, I was making a ton of money, which, I mean, that's good. I was making a lot more money before that.

What was your job? I was a social media content creator since 2020. And so I made a good chunk of money from that. Since 2020, what are you making? I was making, uh, it started in 2024. It was like. No, you said 2020. So, 2020, I started on social media. By 2021, I was making $50k, which is like a normal year. Doing what? Brand deals, selling personal training content. You were just your content was brand deals? No, I was a health and wellness influencer on TikTok. So, you know how you look healthy. Thank you. Back in 2020, all the big trendy TikTok dances were a thing. So, I was like doing the dances and putting information like healthy lifestyle tips on the screen. And that, "Don't eat greasy food," followed by a TikTok dance. Yep. Okay. But you said you were making more than this. And then 2022, it kind of crept up, $75k. 2023 was like $90k. You were doing well. Yeah. What were your views? Do you still have this? I do, but I don't really. I just started posting on it again. I went on a huge hiatus. Why? Because I just didn't want to anymore. You were making a living off of it. The algorithm no changed. No. People's interest changed. The algorithm is literally only serving people what they want to keep them on the platform. That's true. If you are failing, it's not the algorithm's fault. Sometimes there can be a quick bug. Yeah. But that corrects itself typically because they want to keep people on the platform. Yeah. My audience. Yeah. Maybe if you're still doing health tips with TikTok dances in 2025, it probably doesn't work. But was $90,000 your cap then? Because again, I mean, you're kind of in that world. Gross, right? Yeah, it was $90k in 2023, and then 2024, it bumped up to like $225, $250,000. What was different? I. It's crazy. Yeah. So, TikTok was the original place I started making money from brand deals. That's not AdSense, I'll tell you that. TikTok doesn't pay. Yeah. The most it was like $250 in a month from that. So, it was mostly brand deals. It was mostly because I was a personal trainer and I was selling online personal training services. Okay. And then through that, management reached out to me, some management company. Oh, okay. Manage my brand deals. Yes. Sure. They ended up getting me a verified badge on Snapchat as like a public creator there. And that's where I started making the most money was actually Snapchat. So I started that in about 2022. It was the same thing, just health, health, health. No, because my audience on TikTok was 94% female. So I catered to them with the health and wellness piece. My audience on Snapchat was 94% male. So I posted selfies. I posted photos and I got a lot of views and I didn't know what to do with it. They started paying me AdSense in about 2023. And what do you mean you didn't know what to do with it? It was just gym photos, right? So, it's like, how do I, how do I market that? Did you not go further? I ended up going further. Ah, okay. See, that's what I felt like this was leading to. Where'd it go? So, it started off as women commenting under my Snapchat photos saying, "$400 for post, $300 for post." It means they wanted me to promote their private Snapchat or OnlyFans on my page. Okay. So, I started accepting that because the photos they would send me would just be them in like jeans and a crop top. So, I, for about three weeks, started posting their stuff and I was making like an extra $1,200 bucks a week. So, then I found out that that's against Snapchat's community guidelines and I was doing purely white. Have you heard of those teeth whitening ads? Um, Purely White Deluxe. They like ended up hiring me once a week to post teeth whitening ads. So, I was doing teeth whitening ads on Snapchat every week, twice a week, and I was getting a base salary of $500 a week, sometimes up to $2,000 depending on when it was like a holiday season. Okay, so it started that way. It started, you know, I was dabbling and then all of a sudden I noticed that men were commenting that they would pay me. I put my Venmo in my bio. I started getting Venmos and then I added a couple select individuals onto my Snapchat and I started selling photos. No nudity. This is a load of barnacles. No nudity. Nope. Nudity. Nudity. Like, nudity gets close. Yeah, but, but how much did they spend on that? Anywhere from $100 a photo to like $500 a photo. And it would just be like, bra. How many photos? Sometimes one to five. Okay. What were you making off this? I don't know. Every week. So you never went the, the online. You never went to Booby, Booty, Booty, Booty. So then. Oh, it continues. Okay. Then I thought, okay, let me just try OnlyFans, but not nude. Okay. It works for a bit. It right. So, I got up to, I made like $600 in two weeks. And then I was just below the IRS, you know, tax. I didn't want to also just below you being able to pay your bills. Is that's not much, right? I got off and then I went back on one more time. One more time a year later. And I ended up spending, I ended up making like six, five or $6,000 in a couple months. Yeah. No nudity. Yeah. I mean, you're, unless for, unless you're a very specific person, like the ludes aren't going to, it's not going to be what takes you there, right? But then. Oh, it still goes. Please, please. Yes. End of 2023, very beginning of 2024, a company called FanFix reached out to me. Okay. And this platform is like a soft version of OnlyFans. You don't have to put nudity on there. They have the same guidelines as Instagram. So, I couldn't do nudity anyway. So, I thought, okay, this is a better way to market my content without people expecting more from me. So, I went. But the expecting more is what endlessly gets them to keep giving. Okay, sorry. Go on. M. So, I had managers on my Snapchat account who were posting for me every single day to the point where they were just recycling old photos of me to keep me on trend. So, I was getting in like a hundred thousand to a million story views a day, good traction. So, when I started this other subscription account, I set it at $10 and I started promoting it. And the thing is, similar to OnlyFans, you could tip the creator, $5, $10, $15, however much you want to message with them privately. And I didn't want to do that. So, so someone else did it for you. Yeah. So, I ended up making $50,000 in my first month. What the. Okay. And then $60 in my chat. Yeah. Mostly from the chat. I spent 30 minutes on there a day and I would post in the main feed and I would take like 10 to 20 photos, videos. I also had a poll. So I was learning how to pole dance. So it was like online. Oh, okay. Yeah. But not like, no hole. No. Okay. No nipple, no nothing. Uh-huh. But I would, you know, I bought a bunch of lingerie, but it was close. Yeah, it was close enough. And I would send my managers extra photos and they would go into the chat and bait people for money. So, how many months did you make this much? I started with $50, $60, and then it leveled out at $20 a month. Not at all. That is the $250,000 a year is not something to complain about. Definitely not. I stopped that. That's for. Why was it the objectification? Was it like, what was it like? Just feeling like it was very wrong. Why? 'Cause I felt scammy. I felt like I was. I didn't want to sell that. I didn't want. Is it the sexual part or? Yeah, it was the sexual part. It was in that life. Okay. You went full Christian good girl. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, my managers were not happy. Did you just say you started social media up again, though? Yeah. Do you think that's where it's going to end up? I mean, for not that all women end up there, but that is a very common trend today, unless you have a very specific type of content that you're doing, of which I don't think you. So, I deleted my Snapchat. I had 420,000 subscribers on there. Delete. You don't have to go to the extreme. I know, but it served no purpose. It had no value. Okay.

I'm being told you made $200,000 in 6 months. Where the heck did that go? So, I paid my managers 15%. Well, that's fine and that's normal. Mhm. I traveled a lot. I bought. What was this? How old were you? 24. So, last year. Yeah. Yep. So I traveled. I went not internationally. I just flew domestic. I was pretty frugal on my travels. However, uh, I purchased my mom a house. You bought your mom a house? Yeah. How much? How much? Possibly. The down payment was $70k. So, a lot of that went to that. And then not really clothing so much. I just, that's it. I just lived and didn't really think about it 'cause I figured that would last. And then I realized. You stopped. It may have. It would have lasted at least a while. I could have done probably something differently, but I mean, it is what it is. It is what it is. It is what it is.

May I objectify you for a second? Do I have consent to objectify you? Sure. You're hot. They're substantial. She's very cute. Um, like she could make money. I'm not saying if you don't want to or it's against your morality. Do it. Like, I'm vibing with whatever you want to do. In fact, I would say, you know, probably don't 'cause it is a little online. Like, it's not great and it gets parasocial and some people have been in danger. We don't like that. However, you could. I could. And now you're starting social media back up again. What the heck is your plan here? 'Cause you're in a normal job now. Yep. I'm in a normal job and it's sustainable and it's stable and I love it. I've never had a real job like this. Like. But you're starting online again at. Sketch. Pull up your online. Pull up your online. Not any of the naughty naughties. Um, it's just my TikTok. That's for the post show. You're a stressed person. You got picking on the fingers. I do that as well. I do it from stress. I, yeah. Really bad. Not healthy. Really bad OCD. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Yeah. I mean, this is substantial. Again, we don't allow people to plug things, so you guys won't know what this is. Um, I will screen record and we'll put it in here. We'll, we'll blur out the name. Um, okay. But she has almost 600,000 followers. This is not bad. Let's see. Pin comment. About to eat. You think? That was just random. Definitely not. I don't. Most recent. You look better in person than you do in that video. Thank you. Oh, Jesus is king. She did go full Christian. I called that. Yeah. Well done. So, so from tits online to Christian Christian. And the content that I'm posting now on TikTok is going through case studies of my clients. That I was going to say, the content you posted on TikTok three days ago got 618 views, right? Okay. We're not really going there. Yeah. I'm not in the life. I used to wake up symptom-free. Period. Yeah. So, I went from endometriosis to symptom-free periods as part of my story. So. Huh. Yeah. What's endometriosis? Endometriosis is the scar tissue that can build up inflammation around the uterus and causes like really bad painful periods for women. Why are you doing that? I don't anymore. Oh, good job. Yeah, but I specialize in helping women with their hormones get like removed. No, this is not. I do not have a. I'm not. No, I have an [ __ ]. Yeah, it's a little different. I've had a, the, the a skin, skin tag thing there once. That hurt. Yeah, that's not good. Um, not good. Can you help me with that? Potentially. Yeah. 99% of my clients are female and they're usually struggling with some sort of hormonal imbalances. So that's what I work with and I have my personal experience because I regulated my nervous system and now I don't deal with that. The hat goes a long way. Appreciate it. Yeah, the forehead. Oh, not the forehead. It just balances you out. Oh, thanks. Yeah, you're a hat girl. I like my bucket hats, preferably. Is that like a thing in Texas? Do people wear bucket hats? Am I going to be. It's whatever you want to be. All right. It's whatever. See, you're still doing a little teasy. This is a little, you know, 'cause dudes will, dudes will go for that. Yeah, it's all about periods. And I don't think, um, here's the thing. Unfortunately, no one gives a heck because you're not getting views. I'm just hoping that something like, just keeping stuff active. I never know what can happen in the future with it. The dyed hair. Yeah, I did that for five and a half years. That's kind of how my TikTok blew up because I had blue hair. Yeah. For a really long time. This is recent. I know. Okay. Hey, is that natural? This is natural. Yes, that's natural. I did like it. I really enjoyed it. I was a hair model, so I got paid a couple times a year to model at hair shows. Oh, see here. This is back on the tease. That was a while ago. Yeah. See, and that's what dudes are. So, we're not trying to sell 'cause this is on the tease as well. Like, what's the content we're trying to do? I'm just trying to cater towards my ladies at this point. What are we trying to make a career after? Because that, that, that's what I'm trying to figure out. I have a career. I. Okay. So, we're not trying to career on this. We want to do this. Good. This aside, if I p. I got paid $10 from TikTok in the past month for starting back up. Well done. Thanks. Well done. I'm $10. Well done. Yeah. I'm being told I guess your mom's house is this first one. So you put $70,000 down. But did you take out the mortgage or did she? I did. For your mom, you took out a mortgage. Yeah, she pays sometimes. Sometimes. What is sometimes? Um, she was. And then I love the heart of it. I know. One of my goals is to pay off my parents' mortgage. So I mean, I get it, but like, what the. 2024, May 2024, I bought it. She paid June, July, August, September, and then we got hit by hurricanes, two hurricanes back to back last year. Okay. I was going to say, 'cause nothing's really happened this year. Yeah, last year. And she's a full-time DJ, so she lost all of her gigs for about two months. What the. Yeah, you're a, a part, a full-time DJ. Uh, not reliable income, and you're getting a mortgage under your name with the expectation of her paying for it. I can see what would go wrong. What does she bring in normally when she has her equipment not destroyed by Helina or whatever the last year? Four to $5,000 a month. No, this is a monthly payment of $2,421. That's insane. That's half her income. Why would you do that to yourself? Why would you do that to yourself? I've just. This was, this was my thought process. She called me one day and she said, "Hey, I'm moving from my rental and I am going to try and save money. So, I'm going to move into a trailer park and I have a 17-year-old sister." And I said, "Over my dead body, you're going to move her into a trailer park." But it's one year, right? Two years back then. Yeah. She was 16. So, she was like a sophomore. So, my mom, I didn't want her to go that route because, and the only option was instead of maybe covering her rent for a year because you thought you were making an infinite amount of money forever, is to get into a 30-year mortgage. And by the way, an 8% interest rate is because that's not even rates were. Yeah. So it's an A-frame and it's really cute. And she said, "What? When my. I didn't know what the. Why don't when my sister is out of school, we're going to turn it into an Airbnb or a rental. I have a good amount of land." Good luck. Airbnb market. Yeah, you're in Florida, but guess what? Tourism market. I disagree. You disagree? However, metrics do not. Tourism to the United States has fallen substantially this year. Private student loan debt can be overwhelming.

It's, uh, less than a mile from the beach and it's right, it's like, I mean, yeah, you'll probably get some here and there. It's also St. Pete's. It's. So, that one is in Tarpon Springs. Is that where we go? Do we go to Tarpon Springs? It's a really old Greek city and it's super quaint for like married couples. I'm getting a thumbs up. Yeah, it's cute. Okay, well done. Yeah, you got an 8% rate on this house. And I mean, you kind of suggested that she hasn't paid since last. She's paid. She paid back. So, we both got a forbearance. Uh, so I got a forbearance on both properties. Um, both prop. You own a house? Oh, yeah. Yourself? I do. So, why did I have a note you were considering moving to Texas if you have two houses there? That's also a. Yeah, that's a lot to get into. What also your job? I've worked remote. You have a house, but when did you get this house? This other house? Uh, 2023. Um, so that was, that was before boobies. Yes. That was based off of just brand deals, social media, you know. So, I was doing pretty well and then I got a lot of money and I spent it really fast. It's all gone. It has to be. It's all gone 'cause there's nowhere on the show unless you have substantial debt. Okay. So, she paid up until, well, like we took out the forbearance, then she was behind, but then she ended up reconciling that in the springtime. She was ahead. She was, or she was on time and then July, August, September, she did not pay this year. This year. And the. Now what? Now what? The only reason I was able to reconcile July, August was because my grandmother sold her house for cash and she gifted me. Yeah. Why? I didn't have the money. My mom didn't either. Well, why'd your grandma gift her own money? She gifted you the payments for the mortgage. Yeah. July, August. Are you going to sell? Why are you moving to Texas? So, it's a lower cost of living. And I also, um, I said a prayer and I said, "God, I'll go wherever you want me to go." And he pointed Fort Worth out to me and I just. It's a whole thing. So, I have a tenant renting out Fort Worth. Yeah. I don't know what's in Fort Worth. A rodeo and. Yeah, it seems nice. That's a drivable infrastructure. Yeah. So, I'm. That's a. So, I have two properties. I'm a little bit. It feels drowning. Yeah. Very much. I think Brandon from Fort Worth, the translator of the show, you know him, was quite interested until he heard all the Christian prayer stuff because dude needs to stick it in in order for him to. Oh, boy. Yeah. That's a dealbreaker. Continue it. Yeah. Sticking it in. Yeah, it's a dealbreaker for me. We wait till marriage. Yes. You too. Okay. Okay. Good luck, guys. We'll send you on a vlog date after this. Great. Well done. Maybe if you're lucky, Brandon. By the third date, you'll get a handheld. Maybe. It's so interesting because you literally were posting like it had to be like an inch and a half away from full exposure in areola. I didn't even do like really provocative. Okay. Poses or anything. Um. Okay. Um, and then mom's house. We still want to keep it trying. Yeah. Uh, with mom staying in there. So you said move out once. Where are you going to, where is she apparently supposed to go post. Sister moving out? That we don't know. I think she wants to buy a van and do van life. What the heck is wrong with your mom? She sounds so weird for an older person. Yeah. Um, like if it was you, it's. Yeah. What? What are you showing me? Like the, the skin issues is from, you know, we have an interesting dynamic. So like I'm pretty much the mom and she's pretty much. Yeah. So when you hear us on the phone talking, you'd be like, I don't know who's who. Kind of. I give a lot of advice. I try not to lecture her 'cause then she gets really mad. Well, yeah. I don't think parents like that from kids. Yeah. Specifically, I guess we'll look at the grandma's house first and then we'll get into these other statements. Not grandma's, mom's house, and then we have a lot of credit cards to go through. Uh, but $6,000 is what comes in. Yeah, I would say if you have to make a $2,500 payment on one house and then you have another house as well, and we're trying to move. When are you moving to Fort Worth by? Uh, September 27th. I'm driving out here. It's official. Yeah. Wait, we're in September. I have a place. This is in 10 days. Yes. Wait, what the heck? Why? What do you. I'm, I'm flying back and then I'm driving out here. Why do you have to do this now? Because that's the timeline. No, you're. I have a tenant for my place and I'm paying. You spend identical to what you make. Oh, yeah. Well, actually, compared to payroll, you actually spend $500, uh, three, four, $400 more than you make. Yeah. You have substantial debt. Not mortgages. We're talking over $20,000. All that combined, we're talking almost $500,000. Mhm. Don't actually know 'cause there is an additional Chase Inc. card with $9,000 and then Wells Fargo, $10,5. Wells Fargo bank card, $1,500. Where are you moving? Because I have a tenant who's taking over my mortgage and I am moving into a place that's cheaper. If there's no expenses that pop up, do you have a rental property management company? I don't. But my neighbor. Oh, your neighbor. Your neighbor what? She's really reliable with stuff. If I need her over there in like 2 minutes. Oh, your. Yeah. So, Fort Worth, my rent here is $1,300 and my tenants are paying $2,000 at my home. So, I am going to be spending significantly less. Don't get it. Away from the beach, away from the tropic, away from the food. No, it's devastating. I love St. Pete. Maybe your prayer was wrong and you needed a second one. Don't think so. The living situation I got here is pretty, pretty great. Yes, 'cause no one wants to live there. It's out of desperation. No, not at all. Come on. Okay. But it was nice not having the finances to be able to go on Airbnb. So, I found my, the place I'm staying on Airbnb host. It's a four-bedroom. I do have three roommates, but they're all awesome, so I'm happy about it. I like being with people. I'm actually, one's a gay. So, new age Christian. No. Oh, I love everybody. But when they bring over a flap to flap with. Just 'cause I don't agree with someone's lifestyle doesn't mean I'm going to be. There it is. Yeah. Fire and brimstone. Ah. Are you trying to like classify the type of Christianity based on. Okay. No, I'm with you. But you're also going to be living in a roommate situation. Going from owning a house to living in a roommate situation. So, trust me, I [ __ ] with everyone. I [ __ ] with the Christians. I [ __ ] with the gays. I [ __ ] with the blacks. I with the Mexicans. I [ __ ] with everyone. I know. I know. So, the cool thing is the first six months of this year, I hosted workday volunteers in my house. So, I was living with people. Anyways, you say these people are great. How much do you know about them? I just met them. I really enjoy their company. We have similar values. The three women. Yeah. Three hardcore Christian women. Yeah. Oh, Fort Worth, ladies and gentlemen. We get along. We've had sleepover parties already. Some friends have come over from one of the girls. Christian women having sleepover parties. Yes.

Dollarwise.com to learn more. All right. So, again, yeah, this mom house. So, let's, let's write down the debt 'cause this is a situation. Um, I'm going to have you pull up the address while I write down the information. Okay, beautiful. You allowed to use screens in your denomination? Yes. What denomination are you? I was raised Wesleyan. I don't really have a denomination, but I would say I'm more Pentecostal. Uh, is that stoning the gays or is that bringing them in? It's like just very spiritual, like hippie, just, you know, the Pentecostals speak in tongues. Yeah. They, uh, they pray very charismatically and they believe in healing and like all the things that. Except for the tongue thing. It sounds like Christianity, but you're just making sounds, perhaps. I don't know. I don't do it. May you make a sound for us right now? I don't know what to do. Did they just say they just like, I don't know. It sounds like they know. I just love an example. I don't know, bro. What have you heard before, bro? Like they just go and they like move their tongue really fast. What is that doing? And it's apparently speaking in the heavenlies and like to the heavenly realms. And let's say you were prophesying or talking to someone or praying over someone in a different language. They may be able to understand, um, what they are saying or be able to feel the Holy Spirit more through that. I don't know. That's the one like debatable. I'm not quite sure. I haven't researched it that much, but I've been around people that speak in tongues. I've been to Pentecostal churches where they're all like going for it. And it's an interesting experience. It's pretty powerful. Good tongue practice. Yeah, for the sleepovers. Great. It's weird. Um, I don't know. Again, I was raised Wesleyan. I'm, um, I, I don't know. Well, religion, I, I am. I'm a believer of God. It's very interesting. What's. I am. I think it's Midwest. I don't know. Like a subdenomination. That's where I was raised. Uh, but I've never heard of like, da da da da da. I don't know. I didn't go to church to find a denomination. I just. Here's mom's house. It looks like something out of a. It's a little fairy home. Tim Burton movie. It's cute. Um, cute is luckily a subjective word. Yeah, that wasn't a good reaction. It is definitely a form of an A. Yeah, it has a balcony in the back. It's, it's a two-story. It's random. It's cute. Okay. Lots of questionable reactions. Also, um, especially for the renting in the Airbnb, looking at the street view and stuff, it looks just like a very trashy area. Is that where someone's going to want to Airbnb? I don't think it's trashy. The houses on the street are pretty nice. Like in the neighborhood, dude. I'm doing street view around it. It looks like a trailer park. Yeah, there's a trailer park near it. It's close to the bayou, not even the ocean, right? It's close to the ocean. Sunset and Fred Howard. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there's an equity position in the house, thank goodness. But that's mostly 'cause you put it down. Other than what you put down. What did you buy it for? $327. Well, that's what it's worth apparently. Uh, so good luck if you have to sell this because you will lose money after fees and whatnot and closing costs and all the goodies. Yeah, really hope you don't. But again, where's mama going to go? Have we, did you answer that? A van? That's right. Okay. And that's certain that you're going to be able to rent this house out and not pay this mortgage? You've agreed. She's agreed to this? Yes. Okay. I'm just. Yeah. So, we are caught up to September, but the grace period was September 15th, and I texted her yesterday, and we have not paid the mortgage for September. So, there's another. It's a $95 late fee every couple weeks until she pays it. What are we doing? Yeah. Till she pays it. And you're not going to 'cause you don't have the money, right? Right. What the. Sister doesn't work and she doesn't work. Well, that's fine. I mean, your sister's not necessarily required to. It was good to get some work experience, but yeah. Yeah, you're behind total. Do $5,000. [ __ ] sake. So, that was covered. Yeah, but now it's not again, right? So, we're about to have a double payment again, and grandma's not going to give it this time. This is. It's really bad. Yeah. Oops. Wait long enough without someone coming in to bail and you lose the house and that $70k is gone. Yeah. Yeah. If worst-case scenario, I am gonna have to make a tough decision and get renters in there that will actually pay. I, my relationship with my mom has been rocky. I really don't want to do that. There again, the mom relationship. Are you going to kick her out? Right. It's. Are you really? Hope it doesn't get to that point. And then there's your house and then we'll get into the, you know, juicy, uh, debt specifically. But if we're talking about the, you know, obviously these are massive expenses and we're moving to Fort Worth. How did the Fort Worth come to you? I prayed about it and then as I was going to sleep, I heard a voice that told me. Well, it was my, it was my voice. It wasn't like a deep, dark, mysterious voice. Well, you know, that's a very normal thing when you go to sleep to hear a voice. Yes. It's a, you're in that mixture between sub, like dream space and space when you're especially when you're very stressed. That could be a common thing that pops up. I mean, it's rare, but it's a normal thing. Yeah. So, there was a location and then it was like confirmations over the past couple of months. I didn't actually seek out tenants targeted ads after you searched Fort Worth. No, like more physical because I was at a. I was serving with my church and I was in a kitchen helping refurnish. You're a woman. Yes. Then I went down and I. She likes it. She's a trad Christian. I saw, I saw a book and it was from the woman that we were refurnishing the house for and it was a Bible study and at the bottom there was a location of the ministry that it was from and it was Fort Worth, Texas. And then after that, I kind of started to research Fort Worth and I'm like, okay, I could, if I'm going to. No, I could live on a highway. Yay. I could live there if I had to. So then I said, "All right, well, I'm not going to look for tenants if this is really where I'm supposed to end up. I know that God will provide me a tenant." And within 3 weeks, one of my old friends who like I recently reconnected with reached out to me looking for a place in St. Pete. And lo and behold, she ended up signing the lease a few days or a few weeks later. And in that meantime, I found the place that I'm living now. And if for what it's worth, my neighbor parks two vans on my front yard. Oh, $200. You're not selling it. Oh, if it's that kind of neighborhood. Okay. On this house, you owe $193,48045. Minimum payment $1,7541. I've also come to the light. You have? I've come to the light. Okay. Yeah. But man, it was fun. Yeah. Yeah. You remember being a. I really wasn't. I was in a long-term relationship. Oh, you should have been a. I had like one hookup. That's a single, single, one, one experience and then was like, "No, not for me." Listen, they use, they use someone here now and they hear insulting, but I love being a. So much fun. This is, it's, it's like a, it's a praise, honestly. If you call me a. Yeah, that means I was getting laid. Right. There's actually a biblical term. Sure. I bet. What does it mean? Amazing man. Sure. We'll, we'll go with that. Yeah. I believe you were and still are. No. I've become a better man. Mhm. I wanted a family. Barely. I do want a family. Barely, barely. Equity position in this house. What? But what did you put down at? What did you buy this for? I bought it for $2.47. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's barely gone up. So, you're probably again, if you had to sell this today, you would lose money. What's your rent? Hi, listen here, Financial Audit.

That's honestly not a lot of wiggle room 'cause $2,000 when you're setting money aside, 3% at a minimum basis for any future vacancy and an additional 3% minimum for any future repairs, which by the way, that's honestly not enough. I would double those each. You're not making money, but at least you're covering the cost. But if a roof has to be replaced, which 2022 roof, maybe. Okay. It's a small house, right? Very small. Oh, it's a two bed, one bath. Who the heck would buy this from you? 'Cause it's a very interesting thing. Like people don't buy these houses anymore. There has to be some kind of business opportunity. 8002 square foot. Yeah. With the garage, it's, it's larger. But I, I didn't have any plans on selling it, honestly. And I have a decent sized backyard, so I can put like a secondary structure on it eventually. But that's. Oh, I don't know if I'd do that, honestly. Okay, let's move on from the real estate. Uh, but you got a 6% rate on here. Here's the juice. Oh, she's ashamed. She just. And she's ashamed. And all right, we'll get into the shoes, I guess. I used to feel very bad when I back at like 15, 16. Yeah. You're like the first, like, like I don't think we've had like, uh, this is so interesting to talk about your religion because we just don't have people that are just like religious on the show. I know. I. So this is such a different conversation. I'm so goon right now. Goon for religion. Sapphire Preferred $3,870.20. What is going on with this card? So, I went on a trip for my dance team. We were competing and booty on stage. No, that's illegal. Actually, I did not. But I went and I put the. No, I was on stage, but I, I'm on a hip-hop. I was on a competitive hip-hop team. Now that's the devil's music and that's what makes it look like hip-hop. Not necessarily. It is secular. It depends on the messaging. We did dance to "Get It Shawty" by Lloyd. So it was a, a sacrifice to leave that behind. That was definitely one of my, my loves. Continue. So I went there. I put the Airbnb that we were all staying at on my card and then I had. Why did you pay for that? Because I did you, but did you take the money that they gave you and pay on it? Yeah. Okay. Like maybe 80% of that. Okay. Why? Why not the total? Because they paid to put it on your card. Because I like to mom, I guess, and I wanted to a space where I knew that I would like, and I wanted to make sure that I was covering the groceries and stuff and have I like looped the grocery cost into the stay. So, I had people pay for everything so that I could do a big Costco haul when I got there. So, a lot of that was like, I mean, dude, this is almost maxed out. This is almost maxed out. And it was over maxed out at the beginning of the month by far. Then you still purchase $2,248. Well, $95.26 of interest accrued. Hey, if you don't purchase on this and you make your minimum payments, how long does it take to pay off? Probably like 15. 14. Pretty close. So, it had an. As young as you can get married in the church, right? Yeah. I guess it had a balance. I don't know. That's more Catholicism. Yes. Actually, that's more like eight. Okay. Anyways, $18,000 was my limit until the summer and then they dropped it to $4,000. So, good. Probably because you're looking like an untrustworthy person. Listen, I'll let you use the Fizz card, debit card that builds credit because at least you can't yourself like you are with this. But this is crazy. It is crazy. Do you drink? Do you do any drugs? I'm so interested. You're like a little. I want. I want to study your life. Like you're living such an interesting life 'cause no one your age does this. No, I don't smoke. I don't drink. I don't do drugs at all. What's your vice? Do you do caffeine? My vice is picking at my skin. Do you do caffeine? No. That's like a lot for me. That's like Brandon told me it was 60 milligrams. Uh-oh. She talked to Brandon. For a little tough. Uh-oh. Brandon and her had tea before the show. Oh, wow. Wow. Sticking it in the butt later. My vices, uh, sweets. I.

like sweets. That's about it. Okay. I was very curious. This is a very odd episode. But uh tea. Boba. That's caffeine. Yeah, a little bit. Okay. But boba tea, it's illegal potentially.

What do you mean? Caffeine's illegal for a lot of religions. The Mormons. FBS. Yeah, I'm not I'm not Mormon. Well, who was right? Who gets into heaven? I'm afraid it was the Mormons. Not many denominations of Christianity and like um what's it called? Was Robert? Robert was raised something weird. But like I'm not religious. I I have a relationship with God, but I go to like a non-denominational church. Yeah. Rebel. Okay, this is Yeah, my statements are very rebellious as you can see.

Instacart not really a good use of money when we can't pay off our cards. Then yeah, there's the Airbnb, but that was the small minority of like what you're doing actually. And Starbucks, you've had fees this year. I think that's probably the annual fee though. And $358 of interest acred. Yeah, pretty bad. Uh, I will say I was spending a lot more the first half of the year because I had work stay volunteers living with me. So, they were helping me. This was the time where I was still like, I can do it. I can make a living off of social media and hosting in person events and all. That's why you bought like one of those like thousand like bull online courses which there's many good ones but even still all of our educational stuff it's like the the debt class, the budget class, the investing class, the real estate class, the recession class, the beginner class, all that which has the lowest refund rate in the industry by far and changed tens of thousands of people's lives. Literally that people can get all of it for what is it $1.97? Yeah. What the? You spend a thousand dollars on some [ __ ] online thing that probably doesn't have anywhere close to what we have. Yeah. Oh, to get access to a private Discord. Oh my goodness. Tell me about it.

That was back in December, right before 2025. I was like, this is my last ditch effort in trying to redo socials and see if I can make a living still just post about periods. Like no one gives a Yeah. So, I mean there's advice number one. I'm not passionate about like the stuff that I was posting before. So, I just did that and I tried. But, but you have to decide like do I always want to film this show? Not necessarily. But it's my career. Yeah. So, I bought a thousand dollar course because I met the people in person and I they made it seem like it was they were giving me brand deals to post like face masks and stuff and so I basically broke you have to buy into making money. Yeah, it was. Yeah. Very pyramidy almost in a way. Yeah. Probably wasn't on the technical you have. Yep. I was in a multi-level marketing company. I'm not shocked. It seems to you kind of follow and fall into things quite easily. Yeah, my parents got me into it. Have you been in a cult? I would consider that. It was pretty culty, but no. Like a religious My parents got you into the pyramid? Yep. How the I was 16. They started with this company called Isogenics. I went to with them. Yep. And then when I turned 18, they signed me up under them and they told me that I was going to make a bunch of money going to college selling a meal replacement shakes and cleanses to broke college students. And that did not go very far.

The course that you got, the $1,000 one, was there a 100% money back guarantee no matter what? I don't think so. Never buy one unless you do. Cuz all courses, listen, online, again, there are actually good ones. We do some good ones. I'm friends with people that do some good ones. But if they don't have a 100% money back guarantee no matter what, no questions asked like we do, then I wouldn't trust it because that means they're just trying to capture your money and run. We're confident that we provide value. So people are willing to like, okay, yes, you like let me pay you for the value. Yeah. Like what the [ __ ] That's insane. I know. I spent a lot of money on courses thinking that investments. How much? So, how the much I was spending $1,000 a month on business coaching before I got into this career. Like, I'm a W2 as of February. But before that, I was really trying to build my private nutrition practice. And for a while, it worked because I was getting the traction on social media. But then when that died, I didn't want to pay for ads. So, I thought that I could hire for tools, resources to systematize things cuz it sucked. It sucked wearing all the hats, pun intended, because I was like the marketing person. I was the salesperson. I was the website tech. I was the dietitian. It just became so overwhelming. So, I was like, "Let me take some of this off my plate. Let me hire people that could actually support me." The business coaches were friends of yours, though. Yeah. Friends of yours. Here's the thing, dude. Even even [ __ ] literally a a valet the other day at a sushi restaurant. He's like, "Oh, I'm a fan of yours, man. I've always been interested in taking the classes." And I just literally emailed Lindsay. We just gave them the classes. If they're friends of you, like that's just a random person I met. If they're friends of yours, why the [ __ ] are they charging? That was their business. Yeah, but they're friends of yours. This is my business, but I don't like I never learned that. Everything in my life has been transactional. Yeah. So, I don't If it's a friend, I'm I'm paying for their time. If it's a friend, they're paying for my time. That was just how I thought things went. That's weird. I mean, it can I like supporting friends if they have a business, but if they require and they're not even willing to offer, I'm like, I don't know. Yeah. So, that was 12,000. You've never helped out a friend without them paying? I have now. Now that I realize that that's okay. Wow. Very Christian of you. Okay. Yeah, this is new.

Okay, Platinum card, Visa, Wells Fargo, all of them combined to the Cashwise Visa Platinum. Well done. What's going on with this card? You purchased $1,131. $22.93 of interest acred. Made a $25 payment. Kill me. Now it's a 20 It's a $42 minimum payment now with a balance of $1,81263. 11 years to pay off if you don't purchase which good luck based on what we've seen. What's going on with this card? Couldn't tell you. I literally just spent on my cards. A lot of that was me before I transferred all of my recurring like my monthly business expenses onto my business debit card which I have now done realized consistently business debit card you made what what did you say $20 last month in your business? No. So my self-pay clients I make between 800 and,000. So you're are you setting money aside for taxes for that? Yes, you are. How much? Well, I was. And then I'm pay I'm currently paying oh yeah my 2024 on a payment plan. So 2024 what about 2025s? So I'm making about $800 to $1,000. Are you making quarterly estimates? Not right now. No. You're going to be forced to uh you think this year but probably next. I did in penalties. You did. Now you're going to be facing penalties then. This year you will be facing penalties if you're not hitting them. In fact, um, yesterday Q 3's estimated was due. Did you pay? Nope. Good. You faced about, I think, a 10% 12% penalty, I think. Yeah. Um, that's still as the year goes on. Now that I have a W2, I was thinking that Oh, wait. W2? I'm confused. Are you contracted or W2? I'm a W2. Okay, then you don't. And I have a I have my LLC still on the side. Um, so I make the vast majority from that W2 now and that LLC is supplementary. So by 2026 getting a pay off or so I'm sorry, what's going on with this card? Probably monthly stuff. Probably Apple bill. High store Phoenix. You got some there. Dutch Bros. Grounds on second. Yeah, that was my Arizona. Coffee. Going in getting some BS. Going in and getting some BS from the gas station. Hiphop International. Yep. Naughty, naughty. Devil's hockey team. Wait, what was that one? Uh, $37.84. It was at the arena. I bought popcorn. Watching the finals. Yeah. Going against some bullsh $100 in interest this year so far. $25.24. Pull up your phone. I want full access. And I know I'm not going to stumble upon anything bad in there with you. So, where are we going? Again, this is the least risky phone I think I've ever had. Okay, we have iCloud Plus. That's fine. Obviously, it's not great always, you know, when we're dying in debt. Chat box, but it's pending cancel. Yeah, chat box. I don't even know what that is. Capcot also pending cancel, but you're trying to get back on the social media game. I just Yeah. And Dell Focus Sleep, but also pending cancel. And we've had a lot of subscriptions as well. It looks like It looks like you get lots of subs and then you Okay. Interesting. Yeah. Oh, Amazon's not downloaded. Do you do Amazon? I have an Amazon Prime, but I don't really buy anything other than for friends who need Amazon Prime. I'll like buy stuff for them, which they better pay you immediately. Yeah, they do. Yeah. You know, the CEO of this company is gay. Thanks for the information. You can shop smart. Mhm. We love Tim Apple. Big fan. Made my stocks go woo. We don't touch that. Well, stocks is greed and greed. Okay, I I see I see where you're getting. $3,8.93. By the way, I'm goofing I'm gooning and gaffing with her. I I like I very much respect. We are not offended. Yeah, I know. Exactly. Plus, I have permission. So, don't take too offense to it. Um, okay. $1,7656 of purchases on here with $7357 of interest acrewing, $104 minimum payment. We owe $3,38.93. This is the built card. You'd think you paying rent on here, but one, we don't have rent yet. Anyway, that's the whole point of this card, though. What's going on with this card? I got it when I did have a rent payment. So, I used it, paid it off, no problem. I started using it more when I maxed out those 0% interest APR cards because from the time I I basically went eight months unemployed. So, in those eight months between stopping all my social media stuff, aka fanfiction, how did you survive? 0% interest. Why didn't you do anything for eight months? I did start trying to I was being still consistent on social media, but like we mentioned, it wasn't getting me anywhere. I wasn't getting any new clients. I was just maintaining the ones that I had. And $800 to $1,000 a month was not cutting it. So, finally in February, I was humble enough to get a real job. I was never really taught that I could get a real job. Humility is required for you. So, yeah. Um, I was supposed to be a millionaire entrepreneur per my parents. So, I just went I rode that wave. I was like, "We're going to try."

What hit what hit where you went from, I'm going to post almost my full online almost but not really to I can't do this. What was the moment? There wasn't really a specific moment. I just Well, deleting the Snapchat is an extreme. So, what like walk me through it? I was doing fanfics consistently and still making like 20,000 a month. I realized I just like felt empty. I'm like, what is literally all of this for? You know, the money the standard. Yeah. And I just I just felt really crappy and I didn't want to keep doing it. Yeah, that's a good reason. And I'm glad you actually stopped cuz if you felt that way and you didn't stop, which many people do because they're all of a sudden they feel like it's their only way they can make their living. That sucks cuz they're trapped in a chat or in a cycle of having to sexualize themselves online. And that sucks. I think if you want to sexualize yourself online, you know, go for it. I don't give a um but I don't like when people feel trapped. And the fact that you actually said, you know what, it I'm just going to fully back away and even delete something with 600,000 followers, 20,000 hours a month. Respect. I appreciate it. Thanks. That's big. Not a lot of people can do that. Yeah. I will say on the complete opposite side of the moral spectrum, my retirement plan before the day I just turn off uh the internet and no one ever sees me again is to post my [ __ ] on only that's it. That is it. It is a onehole pick. Okay. Very expensive and then no one hears from me again. That is my exit plan. That that is a interesting exit plan and it's a nice hole, too. So, you know. Okay. Stay tuned. We're probably years away, but All right. It'll just be it'll be there nice and puck it up. Yeah. Don't I don't have to agree with that lifestyle. You're not purchasing it. No, I'm sorry. What the thought you're a fan of the show? I started watching it like a month ago. I will admit a month ago and Okay. Yeah. Okay. Bad mother coming in and giving you some bullsh 80 bucks. Okay. You have a pet? I do. What? A Great Dane. Okay. I wish you brought the Great Dane. I'm such a fan of Great Danes. Oh, they are so cool. If this was scheduled later on, I would have brought him. Okay. Prime Video, Lift Ride, Chipotle, Amazon Prime, T-Ba, Starbucks. Yeah, I've seen the Book of Mormon, the play, the musical. Yeah. When the man has his little dream, his goon dream when he's having a he's a bad boy, there's Starbucks cups jumping around. Oh, I believe. Very scary. That stuff's addicting. I'm Starbucks. I'm going to denounce Starbucks. Me, too. because it tastes like horrible. Okay. Better practice downtown practice better. The clean life in Viet Shack. Now, do you if we're actually talking about this, I know I've uh done a lot of religious goof whatever this conversation, but there's actually one real thing. Okay, cuz all this has been just around, but one real thing. Do you tithe? I do. Cuz that's a big part when it comes to these financial conversations. What are you at? 10% everything. It's impossible for me to take that away because like I can take away someone's going and around and doing all this dumpster. I can take away someone's only spending. It's impossible to take away someone's like core belief they will like refuse in every humanly way possible. Yep. So that's 10% out every paycheck. So bi-weekly. That's hard. I know. And you don't even do the tongue. No. You look lesbian, too. Wow. Is Okay. Is it the haircut? Can we bring in our correspondent to get a confirmation? Of course. I need a ranking. Our residential lesbian correspondent, everyone. Uh Aaron, we I need a How lesbian is she scale just from this? Uh 0 to 10 on the hammer lesbian scale. What car do you drive?

Um, and your wristband there, it's kind of shoving in my face, so I'm going to go with like a seven out of 10 on the lesbian scale. The 4ERunner was huge. Yeah, that was a that was a [ __ ] I guess. Her ball. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you ladies and gentlemen for our resident correspondent. Thank you, Aaron. Aaron, you smell different today. No. Okay. So, you asked. I'm sorry.

When I started making a lot of money, like that 50k a month on FanFix, I said, "Hey, I don't know what I'm doing with my finances." So, they referred me to somebody who has a school community that does weekly stuff. I had a financial coach. you. It wasn't even a little more hand holding. That's nice. But does that scale it to 10 times the cost? It Yeah, it was 100 times the cost almost. Yeah, 10,000. I will say that that person did save me money come tax season. But that's a CPA. You just talked to a CPA. That would have cost you a,000 bucks. It was one piece of advice that he gave me. What was it? To file as an escorp. Yeah, I know. So yeah, I I filed as an escort for 2024 and I had employees during 2024. For what? Um personal assistance. For what? Because I was traveling a lot and I needed help. Why not traveling? You were just posting almost I had friends that like to travel so I traveled. For fun. Yeah. Yeah. And you had two to book your travel just to like babysit my dog to be quite honest and grocery shop and like maintain the house while I was gone. There's third party services that do that on the cheap. I know you. They were my friends and I wanted to hire them so I paid them 25 bucks $25 an hour. Oh um part time. So 10,000 hours and we learned to do escorp. Yes. Wow, that was, ladies and gentlemen, we conquered the business world. Really got a good return on Did you save $10,000 in taxes? I saved about 20,000. Okay, well that's good. A CPA would have done that for a cost of 1,000. Yeah, my CPA is 850. Oh yeah. Oh, you've had a late fee this year so far on this card. Oh, yeah. Oh, you betcha. Really? Beta. You betcha, kiddo. Really? Really? Really? Really? Oh, this is the built card. Oh, yeah. That was unexpected, I will say. Always happens. Uhhuh. Welcome to financial audit. $41.92 of interest acured this year so far. We're talking thousands at this point by the end of the year. This is crazy. I'm nauseous. What? Because a lesbian was just in the room for like 30 seconds. It's getting It hits you that hard. I personally I love the lesbians. I love Don't we love the lesbians, ladies and gentlemen? Big fans. Yes, we do. We Yeah. Wells Fargo signify business essentials card. What's going on with this? I was paying for my business coaching on there and then just other business expenses. And then I'm not sure. You just had 26 hours of purchases. What the is that? I don't know. Oh my god. I don't know. Oh, I'm looking at my accounts now. Now that I applied to come on the show a month ago, what the he be able to tell me what it is? You'd be able to tell me what the it is. Like it was not streamlined. All my business expenses, all my personal expenses, all my travel expenses were all kind of everywhere. $47 minimum monthly payment purchase. How much do you travel? Not as much now. Good. $1,518.13. So, let's down here with the $47 minimum payment again. Yeah. $26 of purchases, $39 payment, $32.33 of interest acured. I tried to like spit out the balance. Yeah, that's my bookkeeping. Okay. Does that have to be on our credit card that we can't pay off that is acrewing interest, though? I just put it on my debit card. So, who knows? This is a credit card. I I know. Okay. Yes. Fair. I've given them like three separate cards to use. I just want to like spread out the the balance acuring because I thought that okay, once my 0% interest APR credit cards are maxed out, then I need to fan out how much I'm spending on my four other cards. Still don't understand Fort Worth out of all the Texas cities you could have chosen. It makes no sense. Platinum that like why couldn't you hear a voice of just something somewhat even halfway enjoyable? I think it's nice. Okay. I would argue that I like it there so far in the two days that I've been there. Yes. So, yes, I'm sure you would. 24 years to pay this one off. What the Oh, it's at 10,46,94 with a minimum payment of 105. 24 years to pay this one off. Looks like it's interest free for now, but not for long. And you got your GPT on there. Yeah. January, it is no longer. Uh, I got that one in January for 0% APR. It's called the reflect card. I think it's very fitting cuz it made me reflect on my decisions, but then I still didn't. So, I guess it doesn't matter. Okay, it ends in about a year, a little over a year. But this is the the insane. Listen, there's no deferred interest, so we don't need to rush to pay this off. But if it was, we'd be But you're not going to have this is still going to take forever, right? And the other 0% APR card just is no is occurring now as of September. So, that one was what, like the 9,000. So, I want to get that one paid off soon. It's fairly low interest compared to the other ones. I just don't know what to do about all these. Well, this actually goes against everything we've talked about this conversation so far. It's fun. This must be the hookup. Um, you went on a cruise with a guy and pay your own way and you had to spend $2,000. What? That February of 2024. Okay. Last year. Yep. Last year he So we're like, "Oh, he's cute." No. Hit the crew. Oh, no. We're just friends. Yeah. I'm sure that's what he thinks. Yeah. And desires. Ah, you already know. Yeah, I am. So, he Yeah, we uh I made the decision to play my hand in blackjack on that cruise and it was $2,000. That was when I was swimming in money and I had no inhibitions. That's [ __ ] insane. What the I mean, oh my gosh. And now we're at 10,500 on this card. That's crazy. Did you break up with a friend? Friend break up since he wants more and you don't. We're Yeah. I mean, we're still friends, but like we haven't traveled together. Did he ever try? Yes. And no. Oh. We got called out by a comedian on the cruise for sitting in the front row. Cruise comedians. Top of the line. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. Um and that I guess was our shtick the whole time we travel together. Well, yeah, probably. I'm sure you guys looked like a couple. This is insane how long this takes to pay off. Yeah. We're going to be paying interest forever. Also, we could do $2,000 on blackjack. Insanity. Oh, you got your own room during the cruise? Yeah. Okay, that works. Yeah, that works. works. I mean, that's a good way to do it, right? Well, it started off as one expensive. It was one room cuz he was trying. It just was he trying to No, it it was a tricky situation. I started to get a little uncomfortable with the close quarters and some of Cuz you were sleeping in the same bed. No, we were like So, I I called ahead to like get the beds separated. Oh, they were two twins. Yes. But he kept trying to get close. No, we had an issue, a disagreement on what? Um my feelings towards Oh, disagreeing that you weren't into him pretty much cuz I had a crush on um someone else at the time that just so happened to be very close to him. Oh, did you land that one eventually? Periodically. That was the hookup. No, but you were just randomly. He was a friends with benefits. Oh, I thought I was going somewhere. You said periodically. Yeah, like 4 months. No, that's that's not periodically. That means you guys were together for 4 months, right? Yeah. Oh, that's not periodically means we're going back and like we're coming back. We're coming back. We're doing it here and there. No, that was Yeah. Yeah. Your friend must have been hurt. It was a rough trip. You're in whoever you're into. Yeah. I don't know. You weren't into the dude. So, I got a separate way. Was the whole trip bad? No. Because of this? Mm- I met a friend that lives in Dallas and so he was the one that picked me up from the airport so that worked. Yeah. But it was bad with this guy. It wasn't too bad afterwards. We kind of reconciled towards the end a little bit. Towards the end. We had to go the whole way. It was like a fiveday trip. So five days of him being like, I disagree that you're not into me. Yeah. A few days for sure. It's an interesting thing to disagree about, by the way. Yeah. I don't know if you're able to do that one, champ. Yeah. Okay. That's rough. Uh, what the You've had fees this year so far. $9.33. I don't even know what that would be. A foreign transaction fee maybe. I like I don't know. Potentially such a weird fee. Such a low fee. It's not an annual fee. It's not a monthly fee. Like I'm so confused. I was out of the country once this year to where? Colia for why? To save the children. I was on a co-working I was on a co-working retreat. Oh, did they pay for it? I paid I paid for the trip for everyone. No, just for me. I I wasn't hosting it. Someone else was hosting it, so I went and I spent two weeks there. You're dying in debt. Yeah. I don't know how you're going to survive in Fort Worth. I worked while I was there. This is insane. Okay. Chase Inc. card. Oh, you got scammed on that trip? I heard. I'm being told. Mildly. I mean, just just like tell me. It wasn't fullon scammy. It was just the host made it seem like there were going to be a lot of people there and it was going to be a lot of networking and connections and stuff. Made it seem like 60 to 80 of us were all going to like congregate in this hotel and have dinners together and co-work and the cuz Colombia in Medí has a big co-working culture. What' you call me? Keep going. It's called Medí. It's in the city and she So I fly there three days earlier than her to kind of just get a lay of the land and invert the locals. Yep. Oh, for sure. And she got there and it was her and her boyfriend. Um, and I was the only one that had paid to be on the trip. So, it was like I didn't get as much as I would have hoped to get out of the trip cuz I wanted to run retreats one day and I wanted to She had told me she would take me under her wing and like kind of be a mentor throughout the experience, but it just didn't give that feel. So, I mean, I still had fun. Like, it was a great experience. We did a lot of cool stuff, but Okay. Yeah. And I did chasing card. What's going on with this? You're purchasing more than you're putting towards it by far. You purchase $119.55. You owe $8,945.32 with a minimum monthly payment of $89. What's going on with this? That was the card that I put all of my bills on after I left doing FanFix. And there are still some lingering monthly. Why couldn't you until you got a new job just try to like post pictures you didn't post? Like get the agency to do everything. So you didn't think about it and then once you landed a place then just step away. I really thought I had full conviction. Okay. So when I But yeah, but you you have full conviction on a lot of things, right? So working No. When I in the springtime I was doing fanfix, my business coach wanted to start a school community with me to help for like women empowerment. What are you doing, man? You're just so much random [ __ ] That was a huge issue. But I still have the school community. It's a little bit different now. But I had the vision that I would leave FanFix and then all of a sudden my school community, which is also $10 a month, would just ramp up because she had she was the admin of a couple uh Facebook groups of women who she said would be a good target audience. So, we were going to market my school community to them. And she told me that through Do you even know what you want to do? Are you going to last in your current job for long or you just going to switch to something else? I feel like you're all over the place constantly. What? Yes. I love my job, which you've been doing for how long? I've been a dietitian since 2022. This job though, specifically. February. Of this year. Yes. Right. Okay. Yeah. Let's see how long this last. Looks like you got easy pass on here. I don't know if I'm doing tolls in your situation. Uh and then Chewy, that's fine. But again, on a card that is You said now it interest, right? Yeah. Now acrewing interest well in one day. Tomorrow it starts acrewing interest tomorrow. I just Yeah. Tomorrow from the day we're filming this. Eight almost basically $9,000. That's crazy. That was all like September October. I went on a sbatical. Oh. IRS. Oh, this is Oh, this is 2024's debt. Yes. The fansly debt. Not fans. Fan Fanfix. Okay. There's so many out there. Yeah. Only hams. I'm starting only hams. You can be a creator on only hams. Sign up and you have to post pictures of well-cooked hams. Oh, I told you I eat pork. Okay. Why you so defensive about your pork? Yeah, have some bacon. I don't care. You What? Fine. Are you allowed to say a swear? I choose not to. When was the last time you said a swear in what was it? [ __ ] t a few weeks ago. Or like no. What made you so angry? I was I was just talking. Yeah. And it I said it. Oh, naughty girl. I admit. Oh my gosh. Terrible. What' you do? How'd you punish yourself? Didn't There's still time. Okay. IRS debt $12,487 still owed. This is crazy. What's your minimum monthly payment? Yeah, we got penalties and interest like crazy. I'm paying $1,120 a month until May of next year. Yeah, this is [ __ ] wild. And you just weren't expecting it at all. The taxes to pay taxes last year. I was I paid quarterlies twice. And then twice. Not believe those four. That's why they're a quarter. Yep. And so then when the hurricanes came through, they said you don't have to pay them until February of 2025. And then by then I still didn't have the money to pay them. So I just waited till tax season to find out what my total was. And then I said, "Oh, well, I can't that either." So, at least I am paying something. Yeah. With interest and penalties. This crazy. I just don't want this to happen again on any of your independent stuff. It won't. Listen, I'll get you a course, careers, certification, and accounting. So, when you run a business, you can at least [ __ ] do this. Get trained up. A lot of people have used this to boost their income and get better jobs in the audience. But you'll do that. And again, why didn't why didn't you have did you have text money sitting aside at all? No, because even like that, like next time that happens, it's like again, just put it in something like even if you like sign up for Weeble, you can set it there and it's like at an 8% interest rate temporarily. It's like an incredible place to just put your money. They boost the APY and there's signup bonuses and all that. Like you could have been milking this setting aside money for taxes and then you pay it and then you made something on the money set aside. I did for 2022 and 2023 and then the hurricane and it didn't even do anything to my my house. Actually, no. It did hit West Florida hard last year. I remember that. Right. There were two. I remember seeing uh Penguin Zero. I think he like lost another He's a YouTuber. There's a lot a lot of people lost homes. I was not one of them. Was in power. I think he was streaming during the hurricane, too. It was kind of crazy. Yeah. Um Yeah, fair enough. Is that all your debt? Uh yes. Six credit cards, twoes, the IRS. And we're just picking up everything and moving. Yeah. Just unprepared. Okay. Because it's gonna cost money to move, right? You're probably packing up, moving. I'm just packing up my 4Runner and my dog. That's a way to do it. It's a cheaper way to do it. That's how I moved to Austin 7 years ago. You don't have to do the thousands of dollars to move like so many people do. Justing move. If you're starting a new life, just start a new life. Yeah. 18 miles per gallon isn't great for the drive, but It'll make it's still better than packing up a whole truck and or moving company even worse and whatnot. Okay, it's checking account down from look at the starting number in your checking account from last month. What is it? $6668. That's crazy. Ended with $214. Went a got some [ __ ] Got some Chipotle. Bad mother. Whatever the that is. Bad mother. Zelling out money. Zelling out money. Venuing out money. Venuing out money. Zaza Cubin. Zaza. Cubin. Hulu. Plus, Spotify. Zelling out money. Medworm. Zelling out money. Cava. Oh, what the get so much buller sending when you have debt that you can't pay and you're trying to make this big move. Why? Why? Why are you spending so much on [ __ ] Going out to eat was almost $400. Miscellaneous bull was basically $415. $450. Like that's almost,000 hours of [ __ ] Yeah. Yeah, I couldn't keep track. Well, keep track. Use a budgeting app. It's as easy as that. I mean, you get a free one here. So, I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, I can just I track my fixed expenses and then my variable and whatever I choose to spend, I did not track at all. And the problem was I was putting a lot on credit cards just continuously. And I've made a commitment to myself that I'm going to just spend on my regular personal checking from here on out. If I don't have money, I'm not spending. So in this Wells Fargo, we get $1,379. Again, down from over 2,000. So we're just headed down. This is just transfers back and forth. We got a service fee of monthly. Then $69 in this account down from 511. Yeah, it's a grim situation. Yeah, it's Canva, PayPal out money. Hey, this is We don't have savings. We don't have anything. No. Okay, let's see if we can make a budget. I'm sure we can. And we're going to budget this in the fourth worst situation. I'm not going to write in the cost of the house, your house, cuz I'm going to consider that just a, you know, break even. So, I'll cross it out. I mean, obviously you owe on the debt in the mom's. I don't know what what the do we do with that. Any advice? Well, you you've already like promised to like Yeah, we want to get her out as soon as possible. Yeah. I mean, I would at least try to break even on rental. I don't know about short term. It's not really where we are. Yeah. Still needs a few renovations before we do that. Mild, but still. Hey, total income $6,000. What's your new rent? $1,300. Uh, what about utilities and all that? It'll probably be about 150. Okay, let's get your debt minimum payments. I don't know what to calculate when it comes to your mom's house. Maybe I'll say just to average it out. I'll give you like $1,000 to that. Yeah. Well, like what the Cuz you're not going to like just lose it, right? You'll make the payment. Like what else? What other option is there? Yeah, if I have to. Absolutely. No student loans? Nope. Didn't Did you go to college? I did. Okay. Debt minimum payments. We're going to call it $2,640. But it's again, it's a weird situation. phone bill. I don't. That's the one thing my dad still pays for. Okay. If you ever have to, I would do Helium. Okay. If T-Mobile's good in your area, it's a good way to get it for like 15 bucks. Okay. Gas Ga Gas Vroom Drive. How much? Like 160 a month. It's not that bad. Uh car insurance 191. $300 for groceries. You can do it. I don't know if there's HB there, but that's what we've used to prove it. You just have to meal prep. Meal prep. Meal prep. Use that microwave to warm it back up. TP fund. Anything else you need to survive? Tampons for all your period content. Um, $100 should be good. Medical healthcare. Any co-pays on a monthly basis required? Nope. Okay. Do you have a gym? I do. It's 20 bucks a month. Good. Subscriptions, I'll try to give you $30. Pet insurance. What was that? 80 bucks, I think. I saw in there. 77. How much for dog food? Uh 350 a month. That's insane. It's more than you. Yes. And we'll say 77 for the pet insurance. Not 80. Okay. Well, that's wild. Are you able to cut that down? Like I don't know. I don't want you to not provide them good, but are you going to an extreme that is unnecessary? I feed him half raw, half And is that necessary? I will sacrifice. Remember kibble's good for their teeth. True. So he he gets that. And often times they recommend even many vets these days are recommending kibble over soft 400 a month and that's me scaling it back. I yeah depending it'll be like 300 to 350 but we can fit it even with your mom weird situation and I'm putting a,000 aside for that. I don't know monthly basis $5,318. So, but then my minimum that's with your minimum payments including a,000 for the mom's house. Okay. Crossing out your mortgage cuz someone's covering the rent. $862 left. Bad debt. Okay. We got it. Let's minus the Well, I mean, the mortgages aren't great rates, but maybe when values go up and rates go down, you can refinance to a lower rate. $42,80 of bad debt. 682 bucks on a monthly basis. 61 months, 5 years to pay it off. I think you could, you know, you'll continue to bring in more money. I think you'll bring that down to about four years. I think you'll be out of debt. I have a fully funed emergency fund in about four years. I would bet if you actually budget and go, you know, hard and go go crazy. I guess there's not much to do in Fort Worth anyway. True. Once a year, there's some exciting thing that everyone likes. Other than that, you can drive on the highway. What do I pay down first? What what makes sense? I don't know. Is there a strategy to this? I would just go smallest to largest. Balance is for you. Just stay motivated along the way since you haven't done it before. Yeah. Okay.
