Hey, that's me! Thanks for having me on the show, Caleb. So far from the comments, it is really encouraging to see all the positive support. Being on here was really tough but I wanted to be on here to specifically platform how not treating your mental health issues can lead to massive financial strain that I'm in. Guys, if you have anything with mental health that you need to deal with, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, etc. Please get help. It's the most important thing in your life to treat in order to keep moving forward because like me, once you get treatment, you can realize how terribly it affected you not just, mentally, but physically, financially, in all aspects of your life. But on a lighter note, we did move into the house after a very long weekend, and I'm currently moving the rest of my crap out of the apartment while cleaning it and turning in the keys today. I'm gonna work my ass off this week to get started on the goals that Caleb helped me find for myself. Thank you all for your support, it's going to really keep me going. Edit: I finally finished cleaning and getting the rest of my stuff out of the apartment, and I finally turned in my keys and am officially in a house! Reading these comments on my little breaks really made me cry. Thank you guys for the outpouring of support it means so much, and it's made me feel more motivated to do better than I have in years. Thank you all, truly.
Good luck with everything I have faith in you as someone who deals with chronic illness and mental things it's difficult but with a good support system you can keep pushing 👍
It is *so* refreshing that mental health is so openly discussed on this channel. I know for me, my mental health and finances often correlate with each other. And I will say that having debts paid, an emergency fund and savings significantly helps my mental health
I truly enjoy that people are willing to talk about their mental health struggles and Caleb always tries to make sure to fit that in their budget so they can take care of themselves. Really refreshing to see ❤
@@CalebHammer You're doing a fabulous job! I had panic attacks in the past ironically when I was going to grad school to become a psychotherapist, lol. I'd drive drinking Pepto Bismol, but mine were instigated by a medication I was put on for migraines that gave me paradoxical reactions. Eventually, I figured it all out & I was actually glad I experienced them because it gave me the ability to really understand anxiety & panic in a way no textbook would have. Then when I became a psychotherapist anxiety, and panic, PTSD became some of the specialties that I was known for treating. I closed my practice in 2010 due to chronic health issues from post-viral & post Lyme issues but then became certified as a coach even though I've not been able to fully realize my coaching practice. Your channel inspires me & keeps me motivated to stay hopeful of helping others again :) Again, you're providing a super helpful service here & your empathy is something we need to see more of on social media & beyond!!!
Absolutely, same here!! Last year I was so incredibly depressed, I didn’t even recognize the depression until one day a lightbulb went off and I realized I have all of these things I’ve ordered but not even enjoying(for example I bought all the things to redo my kids rooms and my living room and the stuff sat in a pile for 6 months.. i had no drive or motivation. I was overly buying my kids expensive clothes literally ordering stuff every single day that they wouldn’t even wear because we barley left the house due to my depression) I didn’t realize until I was surrounded by all these things with no desire to even use or enjoy the things once they were in my possession. Heck I bought my kids 5 swimsuits each and we only went swimming once last summer because I didn’t ever want to leave the house. I was using all of our extra money after bills on BS, every cent and then when our money would get low I would use the pay in 4 apps and rack those up so we were constantly making payments on those. It was so bad.. I finally got the push to get to the doctor(after rescheduling it 3 times because I didn’t even have the energy to go to the doctor) and I’m doing much better. I still need work but I’m in a way better spot now that I’m on medication. I stopped the shopping altogether besides only getting what the kids NEED for the season. Now I just need to learn how to budget properly now that I got my shopping problem under control. Mental health is so incredibly important.
This guy is so relatable. One of the more serious people on the show. He doesn't argue, and you can just tell he is so stressed out that he is paralyzed. I really wish him all the best!!! We are rooting for you Duncan!!!
A common trait of people with bipolar disorder is bad spending habits like impulse buying and shopping sprees, so you're not alone, nor is your situation unjustified. What sets you apart is that you recognized the problem and took steps to fix it! Keep grinding, take the meds and you'll do great! I'm rooting for you!
Completely agree- there’s so much respect in acknowledging especially for others to see and possibly criticize. Is there a card or something that could help make it difficult to spend during times of impulse? Like the fizz card Caleb supports? Could be a useful tool for when someone feels like they can’t control impulses
@@LauraIsOverstimulated I’d say proper mental health care is the answer. Proper medication, talk therapy weekly and healthy life style.

@@johnprior3746 yep, it’s because the real solution is not easy or cheap and it won’t be quick. Everyone just wants a fast answer and they seem to think prohibition works? Yet, look at weed and alcohol.
@@kw2519 i have Bipolar 1 and i can tell you that everything you said is bogus. that does not work at all, and the manic episodes will happen no matter what. all you can do is learn coping mechanisms to deal with it. medication has been shown in studies aswell as my personal experience (quantitative and qualitative evidence for you) that medication, psychotherapy, and other forms of psychological and psychatric treatments have a corelation of response to Bipolar of 0.1 or less...
His honesty about his anxiety is so admirable, it's refreshing to see someone confront their issue rather than making excuses. I respect him so much. I'm truly wishing him all the best and I believe his can get out of this!
Nothing about this is admirable. No one ever talked or treated this guy like a man. He’s using “mental health” as an excuse, as most everyone on here does. That’s why he’s breaking down. He’s a bitch
As an almost (about to get licensed soon) psychologist, you do an incredible job at seeing the person sitting across from you as a human. Your ability to integrate mental health, family situations, lack of education, and unhelpful habits into finances is incredible. You are doing an amazing job at helping people sort their lives out! Just a quote that I think will help some people think about their anxieties differently “That which you most need will be found where you least want to look” -Carl Jung
Caleb is the epitome of tough love. He’s direct and no-nonsense but it’s so clear in every video (and this one especially) that he just wants to help people live better lives.
As a woman living with Bipolar, I can totally relate... I have struggled throughout my life with stability, went through bankruptcy, and had to work really hard to find balance... My heart goes out to him. Stay Strong!
Noa, God bless you! My goddaughter has bipolar, I decided NOT to send her money anymore since she confessed to me she struggles with over spending. How do you deal with overspending? How do I help her? Thank you kindly for any advice.
I have Borderline/Emotionally Unstable personality disorder with autistic traits and complex PTSD. Sometimes I spend on impulse. Sometimes I spend to feel better. Sometimes I spend because I'm triggered. Sometimes I spend because I'm burnt out and need a break. Sometimes I spend because I'm sensory seeking. These are my blind spots. So I have to put blocks in front of the blind spots to see them better. I try to stick to a healthy routine which leaves me little time to spend money. Sometimes I go for a walk and leave my cards and money at home. Or I'd take only a small about of money. I still get in trouble but it's less than when I was 15000 in debt and had to default on all my payments and smash my credit to smithereens. That was 10 years ago and I now have a 900 credit rating. I stay at home a lot, walk around my neighbourhood park and go to the hospital and the gym and work. I go out one night a week which is usually pre-paid so I've already budgeted for it.
This made me cry I struggle with bipolar disorder and I will blow my entire savings when I’m in a manic episode and at 32 I have to have my mother hold onto my savings so I can’t touch it You are not alone brother ❤
Oh man, saw the title and saw myself. Bipolar disorder also drove me into $20K debt. I already fixed all that and even have a house now but the struggle IS REAL! I feel for him, he’s strong for sitting there and talking about it❤❤
@4:10 Why be a manager on weekends for lower pay? One reason is resume padding. On paper, it signals a resposible, accountable and reliable person whether or not if its the actual case in real life...someone thought he can do the job. Extra points if he oversees staff.
After binge-watching countless videos, it's becoming clear that Mental Health and Financial habits go hand in hand. Stress and anxiety caused by financial struggles can seriously impact our mental well-being and vice versa. It can easily spiral into bad situations because the person uses spending as a sort of coping mechanism.
I lost my mom to bipolar disease when I was a kid and she died with tons of consumer debt. I'm so glad you're trying so hard! Don't give up! You've totally got this and I'm praying your medical insurance situation gets resolved so you can continue your care!
I'm actually genuinely impressed by this man, as a fellow bipolar person. Being bipolar is so scary in a society where you're encouraged to give in to manic impulses (especially regarding money). Most bipolar people I know are in deep debt on things they don't need and refuse to get help. He's in a fantastic situation considering this, and he's only going to get better. Good job, man! 🙌
When he said that medication made him understand how much bpd affected him, that's so true. I took meds for adhd recently and it's been revolutionary. I felt like I could think for the first time, like really think. It's something hard to describe.
You and Duncan are communicating well, he seems very sincere. I hope he gets the help he deserves and is able to recover from his financial difficulties.
So refreshing to see someone being open and honest about their situation with no excuses. Mental health is no joke. Take care of yourself, Duncan! Utilize those coping skills. You got this!
This is why I binge Caleb's content. He dishes out tough love to awaken his guests to their damaging habits and is so incredibly sweet and understanding when they open up about the root cause of these behaviors. I hope that from watching videos like these everyone realizes that if you muster up the courage to deal with the tough stuff you can be free to lead beautiful lighter lives.
Duncan, you can do this! Through no fault of my own I had to start over with savings at 40. I never made over $60k but recently retired with a net worth of $1.2M. I am a frugal person but it can be done even late in the game.
If you go to Circle K get their Sip n’ Save for $10/mo and you get one of any non-prepackaged drink every day! It’s cheaper than buying the 12 packs of cans for $6.87 and you can bring in your own cup so there’s no plastic waste. Edit to add this does not automatically charge you, either. You have reup voluntarily after your month ends.
Caleb, because of your channel I’ve paid off $15,000 of debt this year. Completely debt free now, and I’m living a much healthier/ happier life, whilst still being incredibly conservative with my money. I haven’t been on a holiday for 5 years because of my compulsive spending habits. Europe 2024 here we come!
I’m so happy that Caleb not only is teaching the viewers about financial problems, but also mental health issues. These two topics are not addressed enough in society! I feel like Caleb is jumping in Subscribers because of how relatable this is to our generation
The amount of value I've gotten from Caleb absolutely ream people regarding their spending and diving into the psyche of their money management behavior has been priceless. As someone in my late 30s catching up on retirement after nearly racking up so much bad debt, this channel has been a godsend in keeping things real when it comes to money management. Lets get this guy to 500K!
One of the best channels on UA-cam. No acting and Caleb genuinely tries to help people while helping viewers as well. He has motivated me to get my life in order no doubt
The first step in getting over anxiety/fears is facing what is causing those feelings. Duncan being on the show proves that he wants this. He can do this!
can someone give this man a hug? he needs a hug! im sitting here crying with him, i feel for him so bad! i hope he can get some help financially! in his comment he mentions how badly mental health can affect your finances but bad finances can really take a toll on your mental health!!! so its a really bad evil spiral and he deserves to feel safe in his life ❤
As someone with a very close family member that has bipolar, I want to give you a MASSIVE hug. My heart breaks for you. Good on you for fighting the good fight. You are worth it!
Damn I want him to win so bad. He has the drive and know what he wants to do. The mental really is so hard to get through. He gained a lot of big supporters today. We love you and are rooting for you Duncan!!!!!!
Yes! When caleb updates, its a beautiful day. I was on my commute and saw just the last episode, i get to work and the new upload is here! Caleb has to feed the fans lol
The fact that Caleb approaches these situations with empathy while still maintaining a grounded perspective is really nice. Plus doing his best to validate emotions while people experience them? It's refreshing, a lot of financial channels just don't do that, so thank you for acknowledging the human behind the money, Caleb. It's commendable and affords you a ton of respect. Both you and The Financial Diet are wildly impactful because of this approach, so, thank you.
I truly enjoyed this episode. Thank you Duncan for being willing to get vulnerable to help other people learn and know they aren't alone. Mental health and finances are closely linked as I know personally. Props for using this as a reason for how you got here and not as an excuse. Wishing you the best of luck!
This guy is so fucking brave to put his personal mental health out in the public. The fact he was willing to show the emotions so openly is to be respected. So many don’t ask for help. Sending good vibes his way and this is so great to see Men helping other Men with mental health in safe and non shaming honest way. Been watching for entertainment buy Mr Hunter being such a good caring guy and being supportive is why I am subscribing. This channel is such a positive and refreshing change from the negative BS in the world and I thank Mr Hunter and this brave gentleman who is willing to share. God bless both of you.
Wow, Caleb. Your ability to yell at some one in one moment and then hold really honest space of empathy in another is beautiful dude. Subscribing today because that alone was beautiful to watch. Thank you for your openness and stance on mental health and self care. 🙏❤️
I also suffer from bipolar disorder and I'm in a similar situation, I recently started taking medication and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This guy is inspiring for sharing his ailment with the world, it really helps people not feel so alone.
I was diagnosed in my early forties. I’ve been on the same meds for over 15 years. Key is to take your meds every day, no alcohol and very little caffeine.
This show lights a fire under my ass to stay on top of my financial goals. I put a huge amount to my debt payment on Friday and it feels so good to see the balance going down. I picked up tons of overtime at work and worked weekends.. all this extra income is to get rid of my medical debt as fast as I can!
I have a general anxiety disorder and looking at the numbers is always an issue with that. It induced panic attacks and heavy drinking. Honestly, now that I'm strictly budgeting through an app it's helped so much. The anticipation is the worst part. Your imagination makes it so much worse, and having a plan gives a sense of control. So helpful. I see so much of myself in him.
I hope Duncan reads all the wonderful comments for him here. You are making progress more than most people out there, and you don't even know it. I believe in you, 3 years from now you are going to look back at this Duncan right here and see how much more you have grown as a person financially and person. Along with the budgeting and mental health help, please try affirmations and positive visualizations too. The power of mind is immense.. :) I and the entire Caleb community is rooting for you Duncan. ❤
I have been reading them during my cleaning breaks, and I've been crying from all the support. It means so much and it's given me more drive than I've ever had in my life to get better. Thank you all ❤
I think this situation/person is one I connected to most. The sympathy and empathy you showed meant so much! He seems like such an amazing person. Struggling with mental health as a whole is so hard but Covid hitting the food industry ( im a driver/caterer myself. So I feel the struggle ) , even here in Virginia where I’m at, is STILL being hit and the slow climb back feels forever far away. This is especially worse when you actually LOVE your job and your mental health loves it too. I give nothing but love to this person and I hope and send lots of good juju his way, that he can finally find a place of good balance again. I love this channel and respect the way you know how to balance the art of “ say it like it is” but also remembering every person who sits in front of you different. Some need the “suck it up. Stop doing dumb crap and being recklessly stupid” and others need those words but with more compassion and understanding. Keep it up! And to this seemingly awesome and compassionate person… YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF! Our mental health doesn’t define us as a whole and sometimes what others might see as ailments, most times actually make us have more understanding, compassionate and just better humans!
They say that poverty is traumatic and that's sadly on display here. Your worth as a person is constantly tied to how much money you have in society. That plus the constant stress of falling behind on payments, not being able to save, and it being SUCH a big deal whenever you want to treat yourself makes poverty such a horrible place to be.
Caleb, I think this view with both cameras during your budget setup with the video is AMAZING. I will say that generally using active speaker is easier to edit for your producer, but it's great to show both people when doing the budget. This is beautiful.
Duncan, thank you being willing to do this and be so vulnerable about your situation. You alluded to it, and others here have commented, but what really stuck out was your self-described moments of overwhelm and anxiety followed by impulsive spending. I am so glad you are self-aware and are seeking treatment, but I also hope you are able to utilize the loved ones in your life to lean on when you are struggling, as well as finding other healthy coping mechanisms. I sincerely wish you the best!
Hey Caleb, I’m just going to join in to the people telling you you’re doing a huge service to society with this stuff. And Duncan in the off chance you see this, I may not be able to provide any financial help, but what I can say is you are unbelievably brave for coming on here and opening up like this. Not sure if you realize this but you are also doing such a huge thing to help people who have similar issues. You are not only helping yourself, you’re motivating people like me to be more open and feel less shame asking for help. Not to make this about me but I was also diagnosed with bipolar 2, and I can’t begin to explain how parallel our financial situation and spending trends/habits so this was probably one of the most personally helpful videos I could ever see. You got this dude, and I can’t stress enough how much you’ve done to help others here.
I have bipolar disorder. I am well medicated, have a great support system, and am employed full-time. Even with those factors in my favor, I struggle with frivolous spending and over spending. Caleb's videos have really helped me curb my spending because I try to think about what I'm about to purchase, and I'll hear Caleb's voice telling me not to buy things I don't need.
This episode has hit closer to home than any of Caleb's other videos. I empathize so much with Duncan, I made a lot of stupid financial decisions and it cost me the people I love most. Everyone please take these videos seriously, Duncan I wish you the best of luck and I really, really hope your situation improves. ❤
As someone with Bipolar 1, I can confidently say that getting on Lamotrigine (a mood stabilizer, one of the most common medications for BPD) single-handedly saved me from financial ruin. Impulse shopping is a hallmark of BPD, and I was the poster child at one point. I went from an Amazon package a day to not feeling any impulse to shop whatsoever. I wish I had understood Bipolar Disorder decades earlier, but I’m recovering now and should be debt-free by mid-2025 (including student loans).
Started this year at what? 50k now youre less than 50k away from half a million subs. You deserve twice that by the time the year is done. Keep up the great content! Keep teaching people and recording it and just by watching people will teach themselves things they should have been taught about money as a teenager. You're bettering peoples lives. Not just the lives of the people who come on the show but also your dedicated viewers
As someone who battles depression and anxiety, I share the same issues with money. It's like my brain takes a hiatus while I'm dealing with a difficult episode, and then I come to and can't believe I made those horrible decisions. Watching this episode made me feel like I'm not alone, and there's hope for me to better my financial situation.
It’s lit! Bipolar is rough. I’m bipolar 1 and had psychosis and went into $25k credit card debt with 25% interest. Roughly 2 years to pay it back while paying like hundreds of interest each month. Wish I could’ve went on this show to get Caleb’s reaction to my finances back then.
Caleb thank you for being so kind and compassionate to Duncan. My husband and I both have bipolar. It can wreck your life in so many ways. Before I was diagnosed, I ruined my credit. Hypomania can cause you to do things you normally never would. I’m on medication and it’s taken so much work to not only fix it but be functional because it becomes more manageable but not cured. My husband and I love your channel and it’s helping us a lot. Duncan, you are doing great. Bipolar is a hard thing to deal with but it also makes us stronger than we realize. We got this!
He’s one of the few people you’ve counseled that I believe will follow through with your suggestions. So happy he didn’t go straight to loan forgiveness crap. I hope he succeeds.
I feel for this guy so bad, when I was in my early 20s I didnt think Id live past 30 so I lived that way financially. One day something flipped and I wanted to get better mentally too and decided I wanted to live and have had to pay for my past self's habits. It takes hard work, hard times, and hard discipline, and a little bit of help along the way but it does get better in the end. If its not better yet, its not the end.
literally me! I told myself I wouldn’t live past a certain age so it didn’t matter. Now it’s come and gone and I realize I need to get my shit together. Even if I’m not there mentally, I’m still alive and I don’t want to be out on the street.
@@milkflavored I am 100% on the same path, good luck to you and keep in mind when you're not feeling well that you are not alone in the way your life has gone thus far!
@@milkflavored Troll ignored 😂 It just drive me nuts because this shit is treatable and people are suffering for no good reason. Personally, I think it’s a major factor in gun deaths. Specifically switching yourself off. The only barrier between you killing yourself and not, should not be your inability to get a gun. We should be addressing the fact that people want to hurt themselves.
Caleb if you want another series idea… watch Gail Vaz-Oxlade aka Til Debt Do Us Part episodes and provide opinions… a Canadian cable staple although you remind me a LOT of her with the straight-forward FACTS! I feel this whole conversation and video too after finally coming clean to family recently, cutting up the cards, and signing up for counselling. All the steps are important and being open and honest when working on the plan to pull yourself back out 💕 Wishing you all the luck!
Keep your head up King, you're going to look back and laugh at the end of this journey. You have the extremely rare gift of being able to be vulnerable and empathic. Some people come on this show and are in denial; not you man. You're a victim of bad circumstances but I know it will turn around for you.
So refreshing to see this one where a legitimate mental health challenge is driving difficulty in career advancement and consistent spending decisions as opposed to the others who need an excuse, reference a vague feeling of nervousness, and call it “anxiety.” So much good luck to you! Your mental health quest is starting to turn up and you’re on the right path! A more stable job and you have so much more stability in your future. You’re journey will require less courage than you’ve already shown coming on this show!
Duncan, you can do this! You’re taking care of your mental health, and there may be setbacks, but you are on the right path. Stay courageous-you’re awesome!
It takes a lot to confront your mistakes and the things you need to work on. Applause for taking responsibility and wanting to fix it, Duncan. You can do it!
I’m very proud of Duncan for being brave enough to share his struggles. I know he will conquer his issues and will be on a path to a much better life. I’m excited for him. Good things are on the way! Caleb, thanks for your content. It’s very helpful and inspiring. You are a true brother! Thank you! ❤
I can't wait for his follow-up! He knows he's in a bad spot and I applaud him for laying it out there and even seeing he can't afford minimum to live even on a strict budget with current income. I'm cheering you on dude! Get that income up and tackle this! I know you can do it!! And with you moving into a house to rent compared to being in an apartment, just think of it as one day you can buy your own home! Wishing you the best!!
Hey, that's me! Thanks for having me on the show, Caleb. So far from the comments, it is really encouraging to see all the positive support. Being on here was really tough but I wanted to be on here to specifically platform how not treating your mental health issues can lead to massive financial strain that I'm in.

It's the most important thing in your life to treat in order to keep moving forward because like me, once you get treatment, you can realize how terribly it affected you not just, mentally, but physically, financially, in all aspects of your life.
But on a lighter note, we did move into the house after a very long weekend, and I'm currently moving the rest of my crap out of the apartment while cleaning it and turning in the keys today. I'm gonna work my ass off this week to get started on the goals that Caleb helped me find for myself. Thank you all for your support, it's going to really keep me going.
Edit: I finally finished cleaning and getting the rest of my stuff out of the apartment, and I finally turned in my keys and am officially in a house! Reading these comments on my little breaks really made me cry. Thank you guys for the outpouring of support it means so much, and it's made me feel more motivated to do better than I have in years. Thank you all, truly.
Big hug bro, keep on pushing forward
Wish I could help you clean! You're doing great for sure. . . ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
good luck!!
Sending lots of hugs and happy thoughts your way 💕 You got this! Good luck Duncan.
Good luck with everything I have faith in you as someone who deals with chronic illness and mental things it's difficult but with a good support system you can keep pushing 👍

Thank you so much!
I’m relieved this guy has emotional intelligence and empathy, this show would be a disaster without that tbh
My niece and I watch these episodes together and call it Financial Therapy instead of Audit! Lol Caleb's kindness is what makes this show gold.
He’s shared that he’s been going to therapy for years :)
This guy is so relatable. One of the more serious people on the show. He doesn't argue, and you can just tell he is so stressed out that he is paralyzed. I really wish him all the best!!! We are rooting for you Duncan!!!

@@johnprior3746 yep, it’s because the real solution is not easy or cheap and it won’t be quick.
Everyone just wants a fast answer and they seem to think prohibition works? Yet, look at weed and alcohol.
@@kw2519 i have Bipolar 1 and i can tell you that everything you said is bogus. that does not work at all, and the manic episodes will happen no matter what. all you can do is learn coping mechanisms to deal with it. medication has been shown in studies aswell as my personal experience (quantitative and qualitative evidence for you) that medication, psychotherapy, and other forms of psychological and psychatric treatments have a corelation of response to Bipolar of 0.1 or less...
Since watching Caleb I’ve paid off all my credit card debt, even the credit card company called asking why I’m not using my card anymore 😂
Haha damn
Loool they miss you 🤣
Haha tell them blame caleb not you😅
Haha I had no idea companies call for no use 😂
Good job!
@@Katie-Stone they call in England and/or write threatening to close the account if you don’t use the card by a certain time .
His honesty about his anxiety is so admirable, it's refreshing to see someone confront their issue rather than making excuses. I respect him so much. I'm truly wishing him all the best and I believe his can get out of this!
Nothing about this is admirable. No one ever talked or treated this guy like a man. He’s using “mental health” as an excuse, as most everyone on here does. That’s why he’s breaking down. He’s a bitch
Wow I’m just getting started on the video but this is one of the few people that isn’t making endless excuses. Good for him and I wish him the best
Absolutely
Does anyone else compulsively deal with banking while watching Caleb? 🤣
Just checked my checking and savings and credit cards balances to make sure its at 0 lol
I stare at credit karma and Experian like the numbers could change any second
Hahaha these financial fools... oh, no, I'm in the same boat LOL
I legit just checked all of my accounts 😂
I update my budget with Caleb playing in the background lol
As a truck driver, I love when you upload, keeps me awake being frustrated listening to these situations
Im a truck driver as well. I do the same thing as well lol
Same here riding the nightshift😂
the frustration keeping truckers awake, that's hilarious
Honestly true
shoot me too. i stopped listening to music and i just watch caleb. keeps me awake
love to see men talking and supporting each other. What a couple of awesome guys.
For real, the crying, handing him a tissue, telling him it’s ok to cry, asking him what’s going on, this scene was heartwarming 😭
Caleb is so good at speaking through these mental health issues with patience, compassion and EMPATHY. Props to whoever raised him.
As an almost (about to get licensed soon) psychologist, you do an incredible job at seeing the person sitting across from you as a human. Your ability to integrate mental health, family situations, lack of education, and unhelpful habits into finances is incredible. You are doing an amazing job at helping people sort their lives out! Just a quote that I think will help some people think about their anxieties differently “That which you most need will be found where you least want to look” -Carl Jung
*YOUR ability
Caleb is the epitome of tough love. He’s direct and no-nonsense but it’s so clear in every video (and this one especially) that he just wants to help people live better lives.
As a woman living with Bipolar, I can totally relate... I have struggled throughout my life with stability, went through bankruptcy, and had to work really hard to find balance... My heart goes out to him. Stay Strong!
Noa, God bless you! My goddaughter has bipolar, I decided NOT to send her money anymore since she confessed to me she struggles with over spending. How do you deal with overspending? How do I help her? Thank you kindly for any advice.
@@Raphanne Thank you so much for giving useful information! I appreciate it so much! God bless you! 😇
@@Raphanne thank you for reminding me how to get back to it!
I have Borderline/Emotionally Unstable personality disorder with autistic traits and complex PTSD. Sometimes I spend on impulse. Sometimes I spend to feel better. Sometimes I spend because I'm triggered. Sometimes I spend because I'm burnt out and need a break. Sometimes I spend because I'm sensory seeking. These are my blind spots. So I have to put blocks in front of the blind spots to see them better. I try to stick to a healthy routine which leaves me little time to spend money. Sometimes I go for a walk and leave my cards and money at home. Or I'd take only a small about of money. I still get in trouble but it's less than when I was 15000 in debt and had to default on all my payments and smash my credit to smithereens. That was 10 years ago and I now have a 900 credit rating. I stay at home a lot, walk around my neighbourhood park and go to the hospital and the gym and work. I go out one night a week which is usually pre-paid so I've already budgeted for it.
Glad to see the "Putting extra money towards actually having fun so we won't fall off the plan" being discussed. 4 years is indeed a long time.
I am in tears. I have been and am still walking down this young’s man path. I’m cheering for him.
This made me cry I struggle with bipolar disorder and I will blow my entire savings when I’m in a manic episode and at 32 I have to have my mother hold onto my savings so I can’t touch it You are not alone brother ❤
Oh man, saw the title and saw myself. Bipolar disorder also drove me into $20K debt. I already fixed all that and even have a house now but the struggle IS REAL! I feel for him, he’s strong for sitting there and talking about it❤❤
Whooooo 🎉 well done that's incredible 👏
@4:10 Why be a manager on weekends for lower pay? One reason is resume padding. On paper, it signals a resposible, accountable and reliable person whether or not if its the actual case in real life...someone thought he can do the job. Extra points if he oversees staff.
Caleb, you're a hero not only doing financial audits but also encouraging positive mental health.
After binge-watching countless videos, it's becoming clear that Mental Health and Financial habits go hand in hand. Stress and anxiety caused by financial struggles can seriously impact our mental well-being and vice versa. It can easily spiral into bad situations because the person uses spending as a sort of coping mechanism.
I lost my mom to bipolar disease when I was a kid and she died with tons of consumer debt. I'm so glad you're trying so hard! Don't give up! You've totally got this and I'm praying your medical insurance situation gets resolved so you can continue your care!
I'm actually genuinely impressed by this man, as a fellow bipolar person. Being bipolar is so scary in a society where you're encouraged to give in to manic impulses (especially regarding money). Most bipolar people I know are in deep debt on things they don't need and refuse to get help. He's in a fantastic situation considering this, and he's only going to get better. Good job, man! 🙌
When he said that medication made him understand how much bpd affected him, that's so true. I took meds for adhd recently and it's been revolutionary. I felt like I could think for the first time, like really think. It's something hard to describe.
everyone in america has an imaginary disease
Very true! Not to be that person, but bpd is borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder
These have been super emotional recently. Thank you Caleb for being so careful and supportive of them. (:
This is what happens when we teach children to feel their feeling which is great but don’t teach any resilience techniques.
@@Kevin.Grindel Huh? Just because these recent videos have been emotional doesn't mean the people featured aren't resilient.
@@haute03 life is so simple in Kevin’s world, must be nice 😂
Caleb is so compassionate and I majorly respect that. As someone with mental health diagnoses, I am so proud of this guy for being vulnerable!!
You and Duncan are communicating well, he seems very sincere. I hope he gets the help he deserves and is able to recover from his financial difficulties.
You know Caleb gives those good hugs, not those halfassed side hugs.
So refreshing to see someone being open and honest about their situation with no excuses. Mental health is no joke. Take care of yourself, Duncan! Utilize those coping skills. You got this!
This is why I binge Caleb's content. He dishes out tough love to awaken his guests to their damaging habits and is so incredibly sweet and understanding when they open up about the root cause of these behaviors. I hope that from watching videos like these everyone realizes that if you muster up the courage to deal with the tough stuff you can be free to lead beautiful lighter lives.
Duncan, you can do this! Through no fault of my own I had to start over with savings at 40. I never made over $60k but recently retired with a net worth of $1.2M. I am a frugal person but it can be done even late in the game.
Caleb should do a show about your success! It'd be refreshing to see someone who made their way out of debt hell!
If you go to Circle K get their Sip n’ Save for $10/mo and you get one of any non-prepackaged drink every day! It’s cheaper than buying the 12 packs of cans for $6.87 and you can bring in your own cup so there’s no plastic waste.
Edit to add this does not automatically charge you, either. You have reup voluntarily after your month ends.
Damn, that may be something to look into if I can’t kick my soda habit
Interesting.
Caleb, because of your channel I’ve paid off $15,000 of debt this year. Completely debt free now, and I’m living a much healthier/ happier life, whilst still being incredibly conservative with my money. I haven’t been on a holiday for 5 years because of my compulsive spending habits. Europe 2024 here we come!
That's so awesome and motivating! Congratulations. Enjoy your trip. 😊
I’m so happy that Caleb not only is teaching the viewers about financial problems, but also mental health issues. These two topics are not addressed enough in society!
I feel like Caleb is jumping in Subscribers because of how relatable this is to our generation
Love how Caleb calls it “pop”! Brings back fond childhood memories from where I grew up- where I live now no one says “pop”
The amount of value I've gotten from Caleb absolutely ream people regarding their spending and diving into the psyche of their money management behavior has been priceless. As someone in my late 30s catching up on retirement after nearly racking up so much bad debt, this channel has been a godsend in keeping things real when it comes to money management. Lets get this guy to 500K!
This was my favorite episode so far. Seeing the impact of those struggling with mental health is devestanting and there is a always a light of hope.
As someone else with Bipolar Disorder, you’re so loved. It’s so wildly hard to live with. I hope you’re okay buddy. I’m cheering for you
One of the best channels on UA-cam. No acting and Caleb genuinely tries to help people while helping viewers as well. He has motivated me to get my life in order no doubt
America, where a failing business means you can’t go to the doctor anymore.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As an Aussie, it baffles me a bit.
Its because our tax dollars go defending everyone else with socialized health care
The first step in getting over anxiety/fears is facing what is causing those feelings. Duncan being on the show proves that he wants this. He can do this!
can someone give this man a hug? he needs a hug! im sitting here crying with him, i feel for him so bad! i hope he can get some help financially! in his comment he mentions how badly mental health can affect your finances but bad finances can really take a toll on your mental health!!! so its a really bad evil spiral and he deserves to feel safe in his life ❤
As someone with a very close family member that has bipolar, I want to give you a MASSIVE hug. My heart breaks for you. Good on you for fighting the good fight. You are worth it!
Damn I want him to win so bad. He has the drive and know what he wants to do. The mental really is so hard to get through. He gained a lot of big supporters today. We love you and are rooting for you Duncan!!!!!!
Caleb calling soda “pop” just warms my little Midwestern heart ❤️
Because thats what its called. He deff from MI.
On the East coast we call it pop too.😂
My Wisconsin Midwestern heart is bristling, we're an island alone calling it what it is, soda :P
And the Vernor’s. Shout out!
@@barbararepko4824Maybe upstate NY, I'm from the East coast and I say soda.
Yes! When caleb updates, its a beautiful day. I was on my commute and saw just the last episode, i get to work and the new upload is here! Caleb has to feed the fans lol
Thanks for being here!
I love Caleb so much🥺 the perfect amount of comprehension and rage❤
The fact that Caleb approaches these situations with empathy while still maintaining a grounded perspective is really nice. Plus doing his best to validate emotions while people experience them? It's refreshing, a lot of financial channels just don't do that, so thank you for acknowledging the human behind the money, Caleb. It's commendable and affords you a ton of respect. Both you and The Financial Diet are wildly impactful because of this approach, so, thank you.
I truly enjoyed this episode. Thank you Duncan for being willing to get vulnerable to help other people learn and know they aren't alone. Mental health and finances are closely linked as I know personally. Props for using this as a reason for how you got here and not as an excuse. Wishing you the best of luck!
This guy is so fucking brave to put his personal mental health out in the public. The fact he was willing to show the emotions so openly is to be respected. So many don’t ask for help. Sending good vibes his way and this is so great to see Men helping other Men with mental health in safe and non shaming honest way. Been watching for entertainment buy Mr Hunter being such a good caring guy and being supportive is why I am subscribing. This channel is such a positive and refreshing change from the negative BS in the world and I thank Mr Hunter and this brave gentleman who is willing to share. God bless both of you.
I really like Duncan. Very forward and honest and willing to accept his mistakes and do better. Im rooting for you bro! Praying for the best for you
Wow, Caleb. Your ability to yell at some one in one moment and then hold really honest space of empathy in another is beautiful dude. Subscribing today because that alone was beautiful to watch.
Thank you for your openness and stance on mental health and self care. 🙏❤️
I also suffer from bipolar disorder and I'm in a similar situation, I recently started taking medication and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This guy is inspiring for sharing his ailment with the world, it really helps people not feel so alone.
I was diagnosed in my early forties. I’ve been on the same meds for over 15 years. Key is to take your meds every day, no alcohol and very little caffeine.
This show lights a fire under my ass to stay on top of my financial goals. I put a huge amount to my debt payment on Friday and it feels so good to see the balance going down. I picked up tons of overtime at work and worked weekends.. all this extra income is to get rid of my medical debt as fast as I can!
I have a general anxiety disorder and looking at the numbers is always an issue with that. It induced panic attacks and heavy drinking. Honestly, now that I'm strictly budgeting through an app it's helped so much. The anticipation is the worst part. Your imagination makes it so much worse, and having a plan gives a sense of control. So helpful. I see so much of myself in him.
I hope Duncan reads all the wonderful comments for him here. You are making progress more than most people out there, and you don't even know it. I believe in you, 3 years from now you are going to look back at this Duncan right here and see how much more you have grown as a person financially and person. Along with the budgeting and mental health help, please try affirmations and positive visualizations too. The power of mind is immense.. :) I and the entire Caleb community is rooting for you Duncan. ❤
I have been reading them during my cleaning breaks, and I've been crying from all the support. It means so much and it's given me more drive than I've ever had in my life to get better. Thank you all ❤
I think this situation/person is one I connected to most. The sympathy and empathy you showed meant so much! He seems like such an amazing person. Struggling with mental health as a whole is so hard but Covid hitting the food industry ( im a driver/caterer myself. So I feel the struggle ) , even here in Virginia where I’m at, is STILL being hit and the slow climb back feels forever far away. This is especially worse when you actually LOVE your job and your mental health loves it too. I give nothing but love to this person and I hope and send lots of good juju his way, that he can finally find a place of good balance again. I love this channel and respect the way you know how to balance the art of “ say it like it is” but also remembering every person who sits in front of you different. Some need the “suck it up. Stop doing dumb crap and being recklessly stupid” and others need those words but with more compassion and understanding.
Keep it up!
And to this seemingly awesome and compassionate person… YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND NEVER STOP BELIEVING IN YOURSELF! Our mental health doesn’t define us as a whole and sometimes what others might see as ailments, most times actually make us have more understanding, compassionate and just better humans!
They say that poverty is traumatic and that's sadly on display here. Your worth as a person is constantly tied to how much money you have in society. That plus the constant stress of falling behind on payments, not being able to save, and it being SUCH a big deal whenever you want to treat yourself makes poverty such a horrible place to be.
Indeed
Caleb, I think this view with both cameras during your budget setup with the video is AMAZING. I will say that generally using active speaker is easier to edit for your producer, but it's great to show both people when doing the budget. This is beautiful.
My heart absolutely aches for this man, I really hope a new job opportunity with better benefits comes to him soon
The guests get help as well as provide help , inspire and and help people to see possibilities.
Been here since before 100k and have loved every episode! Such a great way to teach and help while not being a dry lecture.
Thanks!
Duncan, thank you being willing to do this and be so vulnerable about your situation. You alluded to it, and others here have commented, but what really stuck out was your self-described moments of overwhelm and anxiety followed by impulsive spending. I am so glad you are self-aware and are seeking treatment, but I also hope you are able to utilize the loved ones in your life to lean on when you are struggling, as well as finding other healthy coping mechanisms. I sincerely wish you the best!
Hey Caleb, I’m just going to join in to the people telling you you’re doing a huge service to society with this stuff. And Duncan in the off chance you see this, I may not be able to provide any financial help, but what I can say is you are unbelievably brave for coming on here and opening up like this. Not sure if you realize this but you are also doing such a huge thing to help people who have similar issues. You are not only helping yourself, you’re motivating people like me to be more open and feel less shame asking for help. Not to make this about me but I was also diagnosed with bipolar 2, and I can’t begin to explain how parallel our financial situation and spending trends/habits so this was probably one of the most personally helpful videos I could ever see. You got this dude, and I can’t stress enough how much you’ve done to help others here.
I just want the best for you Duncan! You are still so young and you still have a very bright future ahead of you!
I have bipolar disorder. I am well medicated, have a great support system, and am employed full-time. Even with those factors in my favor, I struggle with frivolous spending and over spending. Caleb's videos have really helped me curb my spending because I try to think about what I'm about to purchase, and I'll hear Caleb's voice telling me not to buy things I don't need.
Me too! I watch an episode before any grocery shopping trips! Cut my bill in half in one month! Caleb is the best internal dialog coach!!
Jeaus can heal you if you seek Him
I love this guest! Such a genuine person wanting genuine help and change. I am wishing him all the best! I hope we get an update. 💜
This episode has hit closer to home than any of Caleb's other videos. I empathize so much with Duncan, I made a lot of stupid financial decisions and it cost me the people I love most. Everyone please take these videos seriously, Duncan I wish you the best of luck and I really, really hope your situation improves. ❤
As someone with Bipolar 1, I can confidently say that getting on Lamotrigine (a mood stabilizer, one of the most common medications for BPD) single-handedly saved me from financial ruin. Impulse shopping is a hallmark of BPD, and I was the poster child at one point. I went from an Amazon package a day to not feeling any impulse to shop whatsoever. I wish I had understood Bipolar Disorder decades earlier, but I’m recovering now and should be debt-free by mid-2025 (including student loans).
So many of my friends and loved ones are in this situation. Duncan, you can do this. You really can. And you are in good company. HANG IN THERE.
Started this year at what? 50k now youre less than 50k away from half a million subs. You deserve twice that by the time the year is done. Keep up the great content! Keep teaching people and recording it and just by watching people will teach themselves things they should have been taught about money as a teenager. You're bettering peoples lives. Not just the lives of the people who come on the show but also your dedicated viewers
Damn so few views so far, does the algorithm not like the word bipolar in the title I wonder
I love how you consistently upload right before I take my lunch break.
As someone who battles depression and anxiety, I share the same issues with money. It's like my brain takes a hiatus while I'm dealing with a difficult episode, and then I come to and can't believe I made those horrible decisions. Watching this episode made me feel like I'm not alone, and there's hope for me to better my financial situation.
This guy will make it. Despite everything, he seems to have a wonderful head on his shoulders. All the best to him (and Caleb) 💙💙
Caleb, you were very kind to Duncan and gave him good advice. I have so much respect for you.
It’s lit! Bipolar is rough. I’m bipolar 1 and had psychosis and went into $25k credit card debt with 25% interest. Roughly 2 years to pay it back while paying like hundreds of interest each month. Wish I could’ve went on this show to get Caleb’s reaction to my finances back then.
Toughen up
@@danielredziniak2996 toughen up on what? wtf lol.
@@elijahkim818ignore the jerk.
Caleb thank you for being so kind and compassionate to Duncan. My husband and I both have bipolar. It can wreck your life in so many ways. Before I was diagnosed, I ruined my credit. Hypomania can cause you to do things you normally never would. I’m on medication and it’s taken so much work to not only fix it but be functional because it becomes more manageable but not cured. My husband and I love your channel and it’s helping us a lot.
Duncan, you are doing great. Bipolar is a hard thing to deal with but it also makes us stronger than we realize. We got this!
Since you posted about this one in your community updates, I've been curious about this one. Haven't watched it yet, but I wish him the best of luck
Caleb!! Pls bring him back! This is one guest we are all rooting for! I'd love to find out how he is doing!
He’s one of the few people you’ve counseled that I believe will follow through with your suggestions. So happy he didn’t go straight to loan forgiveness crap. I hope he succeeds.
I feel for this guy so bad, when I was in my early 20s I didnt think Id live past 30 so I lived that way financially. One day something flipped and I wanted to get better mentally too and decided I wanted to live and have had to pay for my past self's habits. It takes hard work, hard times, and hard discipline, and a little bit of help along the way but it does get better in the end. If its not better yet, its not the end.
If I can ask, why did you not think you’d live past 30?
literally me! I told myself I wouldn’t live past a certain age so it didn’t matter. Now it’s come and gone and I realize I need to get my shit together. Even if I’m not there mentally, I’m still alive and I don’t want to be out on the street.
@@milkflavored I am 100% on the same path, good luck to you and keep in mind when you're not feeling well that you are not alone in the way your life has gone thus far!
@@hanspz5505 It's not that they'd stop being alive. But that they didn't think they'll be 30 ever. Or maybe I'm thinking of it the wrong way.
@@dotdot.. well at least someone answered unlike rude ass OP lol. Yeah that makes sense, you just don’t think of the future
20 minutes in and I just feel so bad for him; he’s so stuck in a rut emotionally and mentally. He knows it but he can’t dig himself out. 🥺
Love you Caleb dude. You're like a financial therapist. Often money is very emotional, so helping people unpack that is God's work.
Haven't watched but I'm gonna pray for this man to find more than financial peace.
LISTENING TO THIS I made another payment for double what I would have. You and your guest motivated me again. Debt is so awful. Making progress.
My heart goes out to Duncan. I feel his pain and know it will only go up from here for him. You got this Duncan!! ❤
We really need to stop ignoring mental health services in this country. This is so common, especially with the pandemic.
@@GossAug what?
Ignore the troll, you’re right. So glad we at least talk about it openly as a society.
@@milkflavored Troll ignored 😂
It just drive me nuts because this shit is treatable and people are suffering for no good reason. Personally, I think it’s a major factor in gun deaths. Specifically switching yourself off.
The only barrier between you killing yourself and not, should not be your inability to get a gun. We should be addressing the fact that people want to hurt themselves.
This country doesn’t care about mental health.
As a Michigan man I loved hearing you say “pop” as silly as that is 😂🤣
He knows he secretly imports Faygo down there. LOL!
@@WillmobilePlus I wouldn’t blame him!! 😂🤣
Caleb if you want another series idea… watch Gail Vaz-Oxlade aka Til Debt Do Us Part episodes and provide opinions… a Canadian cable staple although you remind me a LOT of her with the straight-forward FACTS!
I feel this whole conversation and video too after finally coming clean to family recently, cutting up the cards, and signing up for counselling. All the steps are important and being open and honest when working on the plan to pull yourself back out 💕 Wishing you all the luck!
Prince$$ as well!
Keep your head up King, you're going to look back and laugh at the end of this journey. You have the extremely rare gift of being able to be vulnerable and empathic. Some people come on this show and are in denial; not you man. You're a victim of bad circumstances but I know it will turn around for you.
So refreshing to see this one where a legitimate mental health challenge is driving difficulty in career advancement and consistent spending decisions as opposed to the others who need an excuse, reference a vague feeling of nervousness, and call it “anxiety.” So much good luck to you! Your mental health quest is starting to turn up and you’re on the right path! A more stable job and you have so much more stability in your future. You’re journey will require less courage than you’ve already shown coming on this show!
Momentum builds momentum. Starting is the hardest part. Keep your head up brother you are worth it
This is actually very good advice for many situations including mine. Thank you.
@@SallaKaarinaS ❤️❤️❤️
Duncan, you can do this! You’re taking care of your mental health, and there may be setbacks, but you are on the right path. Stay courageous-you’re awesome!
It takes a lot to confront your mistakes and the things you need to work on. Applause for taking responsibility and wanting to fix it, Duncan. You can do it!
I’m very proud of Duncan for being brave enough to share his struggles. I know he will conquer his issues and will be on a path to a much better life. I’m excited for him. Good things are on the way!
Caleb, thanks for your content. It’s very helpful and inspiring. You are a true brother! Thank you! ❤
I can't wait for his follow-up! He knows he's in a bad spot and I applaud him for laying it out there and even seeing he can't afford minimum to live even on a strict budget with current income. I'm cheering you on dude! Get that income up and tackle this! I know you can do it!! And with you moving into a house to rent compared to being in an apartment, just think of it as one day you can buy your own home! Wishing you the best!!
I love this dude. He’s so pure and trying so hard. I just wanna give him a hug. I wish I could give him a job to help him.
Rooting for this guy. You can do it, Duncan!
This is the best guest I’ve ever seen on this show. ❤ to him.
