Unless you have some incredibly complex situation (in which case Caleb might end up recommending you see a credentialed financial advisor anyway), you should be able to watch 3 random videos from this channel and get your finances on the right track. If you're a serious person committed to making positive change and not in it for clout why schedule an interview and take away time that could be spent earning gig income or meal prepping?

      Yes, this I do not get, especially at that interest rate. If you put 8500 into the cheapest available new car (Kia? Hyundai? not sure anymore haven't car shopped in ages, but when I did, it was things like Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra, Hyundai Accent, etc.) I bet you would get a lower interest rate, even with awful credit, and would get a much lower mayment and likely higher gas mileage along with cheaper insurance. I do not get the whole SUV craze (or crossover or whatever), I am a budget car person, the smaller the better, the cheaper the better. And I have gotten plenty of good miles and good life on my cars.

    I work in financial aid, help students with their FAFSA, and every time I can convince a student NOT to get loan when they don’t need it I feel like a huge weight was lifted of my shoulders.
    Some parents really be advising to their kids to take the loans, to take everything the feds offer not knowing the real impact on the student who is irresponsible and doesn’t know how to manage money.
    Don’t get me wrong, a lot of students need them and those I try to give them as much info about how loans work as I can.

      I feel like most people in my life have that mentality. Like my Mom will say I'll be fine and I need to have faith in God when I talk about being worried about my finances. But because of a stupid debt I have, I'm not able to put extra away for retirement and it'll take 3 more years to pay it off. I think people don't want their loved ones to be stressed but it also causes more problems if they manage to convince that loved one that it's not a big deal. They'll continue to do that stupid thing and dig themselves deeper in the hole.

It's just when I try to talk about my struggles every one around me says I'll be okay or it'll work out. I think my Mom says I need to have faith in God because she really doesn't want me to be stressed.

      I get points with my card. You buy stuff in certain categories and get a % back in points. When you have 2000 points or a multiple of 2000 you can trade the points for $20 for each 2000 points. I never carry a balance on my card and only spend on it when I can pay back right after using it. That way I get free money with my card

      The tricky thing about such reward cards: people are more likely to spend, and more likely to spend higher amounts when it's just a swipe of a card. That alone already eats up those juicy 5%, unless someone belongs to the rare exception of folks that can resist this psychological trap.
      Most won't, hence companies make bigger profits even if those X% rewards are taken into consideration.

      Sadly both of these behaviors are taught in childhood. If people don't see their parents modeling financial responsibility they will have no basis to understand what that behavior looks like. If people don't see their parents taking accountability for their own life, they will have no capacity to understand how to do that. This goes far beyond finance; this is why teachers get threatened by kids' parents for dishing out bad grades, this is why people don't even understand how to find and keep employment. If you have even basic levels of responsibility these days jobs will fast track you for management because the skill is so rare.

    Hey Caleb, love your channel and what you do. Since finding the show a few months ago, I have made so much better progress than I was alone. I was up to 13k in CC debt with 12 cards between my wife and I. All 30%. Since opening them we have lost 13,000 in interest (your show taught me to go calculate this and track it!) and we now have paid off 3 of the card with the snowball method (no emergency fund right now but we are military so I feel like we are a bit safer there because AER exists and the debt is burying us.) and now we have only 9k in CC debt and still hacking at it. We applied to be on the show and I hear you yelling at me in my head all the time lol. I even went out and got a job at dominos just to make extra money on top of our income to keep attacking (our household income is now like 130k a year!) and we plan to be out of CC debt by end of year then save up 10k emergency fund, payoff RV (horrible decision years ago) and save up 40k for a house downpayment when my wife retires in 10 years. Thank you so much for this show. I'm not perfect according to your rules but I'm much better and slowly improving more by changing lifestyle bit by bit. We can do it. Anyone can do it. Thank you so much. Our 3 kids won't be responsible for us when we are old because of you, and they will be thankful for your show because of that as well.

      I get the logic behind going into debt to buy or build a house, that one can make a lot of sense (i'm not in that position anyways).
      The same holds true for going into debt to build up a business, or maybe go to college IF you already know you are good at whatever you intent to study.
      But borrowing money to spend it on BS? Nope, that's a big screaming NOPE!
      Oh, and nobody needed to tell me anything like that.
      This is a mentality that should more or less be normal if you learned how to spend your frickin pocket money as a kid, and later on earned your own money by yourself. I mean money you earned yourself feels better and for a lack of a better word heavier in your pockets.

    Caleb, not sure if you'll see this but I had a suggestion. I think most guests conflate their Credit Score with some kind of "Social-Financial" Score, which is why they are so reluctant to do anything that may damage it, such as closing their accounts. In America, there are so many commercials about improving your credit score, you may be pre-qualified for such and such, and a lot of representations that good credit = good life. Maybe you should drive the point home that credit scores are not the end all of your financial life and that sometimes we have to tear down poor decisions to rebuild into a stronger score.

    • @janel8733
      @janel8733 2 місяці тому +14

      This. And most of these guests are doing other things that are negatively impacting their score anyways, like missing payments, having accounts in collections, and having a high utilization rate. If you’re doing those things, closing an account is the least of your problems lol. It’s such a weird hill these guests are willing to die on.

    • @kylebanks13

      I don't really know if that would make sense though because half the time they are messing their credit-up either way. I think it's just because especially in the last few years social media has talked about how you should never close your credit cards and you want to have multiple lines etc. And they think that closing the accounts will hurt more than maxing them out and having late payments. But your theory could definitely be right!

You're drowning with the debt you're already in, how will adding more debt help your situation? I am definitely no financial expert, but every single time a guess brings up the credit score, the only thing in my mind is, "Here it comes, the credit score...when you've got thousands in credit card debt and tens of thousands in student loan debt..." I am seriously starting to believe Americans have literally no idea what the credit score actually means.

    To be honest, when Caleb opened that whole line of questioning about the medical bill from the dentist not being paid, and she kept skirting around the question and giving illogical answers about not having money when she clearly did, I think I know exactly what the problem was and why she didn't pay it.
    She would have rather used the $200.00 to go out to eat or buy something material for herself because paying a bill doesn't bring any enjoyment. That's why I personally believe she did that. I used to have horrendous finances, and so when I would occasionally be faced with very small bills that I needed to pay off (under $200.00) I simply wouldn't do it, because I would rather have used that $200 for something enjoyable rather than having put it towards a responsibility that brought me no joy or happiness. That's the mentality. And it's embarrassing because it's incredibly immature and childlike and it makes sense that she didn't want to be upfront with Caleb about it (definitely should have been, obviously)
    That's just my entire opinion on it, not a mind reader, so I could very well be wrong. Just coming from someone who has made poor choices in the past and my own mentality as to why I behaved that way (which I am very disappointed in and ashamed of, but I am much better now).
