  • 🔥 Nathan, a 29-year-old who spends all his money on bars, trucks with some seriously bad financial decisions.
    With a spending spree that's seen more downs than ups, and continued reliance on bad debt, Nathan needs to take action rapidly before it becomes too late! Now, with a looming settlement of $25,000 on the horizon, Nathan's at a crossroads: dive into the unpredictable waters of real estate or pave a solid financial foundation first? This episode is a crash course on how NOT to manage finances and a guide on what to do if you find yourself in a similar boat.

    He didn’t even realize it was almost 400% for that. He was about to be in for a rude awakening when it never went down after so many payments. I can’t believe it’s even legal for them to do that. That’ll ruin someone.

    The eye-popping interest rate of 391% on the payday loan is the highest ever seen on this channel! Hopefully Nathan takes your advice to heart and changes his spending habits in order to build up his net worth as well as save up for emergencies as well as invest for retirement. All in all this is a useful episode highlighting the dangers of payday loans with their entirely destructive interest rates 😊

      Spot on ! I generally mention Credit Card Debt being the worst, but in this scenario it is nowhere close to Payday Loans !! There is a reason why those are illegal in some countries … I am hoping Nathan will make the right decisions too ✅ I appreciate your insight as always mate !

    Sooo many people get sucked into these and most dont even know what a pay day loan is. Many people are down right desperate and will do anything to get a loan because they have no other resources. I know how it is to be financially desperate with no resources - as I am sure many here do as well. So I have compassion here. We all have a story. But he came here for help. Bless him!!

  • @itsRomainFaure

    Another great breakdown of a guest’s financial opportunities, Romain! As you elaborated on, he’s putting the cart way before the horse. Under no circumstance should he be shopping for rates, especially given his debt situation. Rates are absurd right now anyhow, but that 391% interest and unproductive student loan debt is going to drown him before he knows it. Hoping he follows your plan, there’s hope!

    I know quite a few people who have large student loan balances but never finished their degrees. One that runs into six figures. I went to school in the mid 90's and started in a community college and then state schools. Back then we thought that was expensive but even adjusted for inflation it was like a third of the cost. Scholarships help, but my nephews and youngest son are going the ROTC route but they will owe 6-8 years of military service when they graduate.

    • @itsRomainFaure

Did my time in the military, got out and used my GI Bill to get another undergrad degree, a masters degree, and a certificate-all completely free.

    $120 a month for cell phone service?! I pay $240 per YEAR for mine! That's crazy.
    $1440/year for cell service...he needs to switch to Mint Mobile and save $1200/year. Also, repairing an old car for 25K is crazy, he could have had a decent brand new vehicle for that price, though I get the sentimental value it probably has.

    As a German (albeit living in a much poorer EU country), to me it is just mind-boggling how financially dumb people in the US are for a large part. I've been binge watching Romain and Ramit recently. People broke as hell, underwater by an amount every month unimaginable in Europe, every single month due to frivolous spending, wanting to "invest in real estate", "invest", while paying 25% and beyond of interest on their insane debts. To me it is crystal clear why 2008 happened. I finished high school in Germany in 2009, the economy was fucked thanks to the same behaviours (thanks America) shown today over and over again, and yet nobody over there learned a thing... Makes me wanna puke!

      You are rude and incorrect. Financial irresponsibility exists everywhere. I have friends in Belgium who just purchased a house they KNOW they cannot afford. He an engineer and she a stay at home mom. I have a good friend in Biarritz who is 67. Every few months comes to the US, lives with her sister, makes money at temp jobs, then flies back after six months with her earnings, remains 3 months, then starts all over. She owns nothing and has only social security as a cushion.

    If you want to compete with the Hammer you gotta play up the frustration. This guy is prioritizing eating out and lime scooters over a 391% interest loan! That's crazy! You should get mad to show him how serious this situation is. I like the suit case approach but if you get mad it will be better. You're accent is excellent.
