The audacity of the ‘I’m trying’ Before I found Caleb last summer I had a 72 month car loan- 60 months left. I realized I needed more money to take care of it so I got a second job. I don’t love working retail again- but I have 15 years experience and got a job within 2 weeks. I’ll have the car paid off by November. Full emergency fund by may 2025. It’s 16 months working 55 hours a week and there’s no debt. I can do it😊
"I'm trying to find balance." Gal, you got balance on every one of your statements (car, house, student loans, credit cards). That's the balance you need to worry about.
Right, worked any job and saved every penny I could to keep my mums house, my childhood home. Out of respect because I know how much she struggled with it herself. I will do anything to keep it to honour her memory.
I'm pretty sure that "business loan" was the infamous PPP loan scheme. Therefore she had to say she paid people even though she pocketed the money, just like millions of others did😬
when I opened this video from what was going on in the short, I did not expect to find a 34 year old that can't afford a $1,000 mortgage. this is a ridiculous person.
@@kellenhurtado9357 You think half the people couldn't afford that? the median earnings in the US per week is $1000 per week. So if you're an average person in the workforce, you could afford a $1k mortgage. If she just got one roommate, she could work a low wage job at around $12/hr and afford half the rent. That's how I singled her out-using math.
I was about to get offended but I'm 26 😂 I could just about afford a $1000 dollar mortgage but definitely could afford it splitting w someone. Don't want to invest in any property until I'm easily making enough alone to pay it off.
@@ekko808😒 WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO WHEN SHE ENDS UP HOMELESS? IT'S HAPPENING MORE & MORE NOWADAYS. SHE'S NOT TAKING ANY OF THIS SERIOUS. IT'S GOING TO BITE HER IN HER "FAVORED" PLACE 😮😑
The idea that she can’t go work a $15 hour job because that doesn’t value her time but she expects her employees to work for a failing “brand” and receive a random gas card as appreciation has me screaming.
So weird that a company paying you as little as they possibly can and sees you as a temporary body to fill the workload wouldn't "appreciate" her 😂😂😂😂 that's 99% of all jobs.
I thought it was hilarious how she said we need to stop expecting people to work for free and then she said that. It sounds like a company having record profits and rewarding their employees with a pizza party
i was $52k in debt when i first started watching your videos, down to $27k now … thanks to you by the end of this year i will have it all paid off with a net worth of $10k - thank you so much for the motivation & the inspiration caleb
this channel has really shifted my money mindset. i’ve realized how many wants i’ve put before my financial needs. i’ve recently paid off my credit card and one of my student loans. it’s a very liberating experience, i didn’t realize how heavy those debts weighed on my shoulders until i started doing something about it. thank you, Caleb, my daughter won’t have to care for me out of her pocket one day. ur doing the financial lords work.
That’s so awesome!!! Good for you!! I’m sure you’re daughter will not only appreciate that someday, but that she will also admire your work ethic and learn financial habits from you that help her be successful!
I'm blown away that she had the confidence to brag on her investing and saying "I was going to become a millionaire" 30 seconds before she asks if bitcoin is a STOCK.
Bitcoin is a scam, that's what bitcoin is. Unless you are on the inside "inventing" these coins, you will probably lose all the money you put in. I've been investing 10%-20% of my low wages for 20 years and I'm not a millionaire. Good years it does increase my net worth nicely but I don't spend money from my investments until I retire.
Please, PLEASE. Bring on someone that wants to improve. I’ve applied twice now, I’ve showed serious improvement between those two applications, and I WANT your advice. I’m going to keep improving no matter what and get where I want to be, but I could seriously use your expertise.
@@strawberryslush5067 it would be a great opportunity, but either way im going to keep working on my life! thank you and i hope you have a great year this year
A lot of models think like this. They think modeling is a career. Yeah it is, for the 1%😂 especially the huge ego. Dating a few was a absolute nightmare
Yeah it’s so sad. The toiling and nights falling to sleep due to sheer exhaustion by her mother/parents means nothing. The given mortgage from heaven gone. The generational wealth to prevent what so many people of all different colors DREAM of - GONE. All it takes is the weakest link and the whole kingdom falls apart.
Gotta set it up right so no one person can have the ability to bring down the empire, unfortunately that will reduce the amount of control you have over it. See it as an initial investment in a company that you'll never get back but will employ your family and give them income for the rest of their life
Prayerful she and the sister are paying the taxes on that home or they’ll loose it for sure if foreclosure doesn’t come first. Caleb is right, how can you squander that sort of built-in equity IN AUSTIN NO LESS??? 🤦🏾♀️ 🙃🙄
Ive noticed that a lot of people who he interviews are more focused on the perception of wealth than actual wealth. they would rather be broke influencers than make 50K$ doing a 9-5
Yeah, they're all people who don't realize that the material goods that they want mathematically don't make sense on their incomes (as Caleb likes to say). They simply can't fathom that the new, shiny cars or trucks they want, the travelling, eating out, going to concerts, expensive clothes and such... are all consumptions that they would need to make tens of thousands dollars more to be able to afford on top of regular living expenses without going into debt
Like one of his early ones who was putting out good vibes so that she'd somehow get money. And she also hated working more than 3-4 hours per day and had to ubereats and doordash because somehow her time was valuable.
I remember I was on the influencer grind. I was making a few thousand a month, but it just wasn’t enough. It really doesn’t make much money until you reach a certain level; and, like most creative careers, it takes a lot of time, dedication, luck and skill to get to the point where you’re even making a FT paycheck, let alone anything extra. It’s much better to have a boring job that gives you mental space to be creative than struggling and flailing around.
I pay $1,060 for my STUDIO apartment in south Austin where I was born and raised. And that is CHEAP. I work my ass off for $600/week. How she even have a roof over her head? She’s never had it rough with nothing to fall back on and it shows. Those nights without a place to go alone on the streets of Austin as a teen were enough for me to suck it up and get a job.
Yup. I didn't have it that bad but I still got a big dose of reality when I graduated college and couldn't get a job in my chosen field so I had to go back into construction. I'm still working towards my goals in life but that humble pie stung pretty bad.
Whenever I feel shit about myself not having a lot of cool things, I watch one of these videos and feel absolutely grand about not having any debt to speak of, stable income and very few bills to worry about.
SAME. I'm not the smartest financially, I have mild addictions [nicotine, THC, Kratom] but I pay for them, getting worse lately so it's time for a break on the ol puff puff if ya know what I mean, and hey I can be impulsive too, maybe I buy a random indie game on PC I don't need and may only play 10 hours of? That's bad, I can hugely improve, hey at least I'm saving some $$$ now. These videos have helped me a ton but also.. When I watch these videos, where the people are living like ME with no stable income, while also buried in credit card debt, I don't know how they mentally cope with that tbh. I get fighting for motivation and the like but god damn there's a point where shit is too far/too bad.
At 38 I got a divorce. Was self employed but couldn’t pay my bills.. ended up getting a job at a Wastewater Treatment Plant. It Had the best working hours that gave me more time with my son who was 5 years old at the time . Didn’t realize at the time but I now have a great pension for retirement!! Do the Dirty Jobs folks. They pay Well
They really don’t though. It’s like $25-40/hr for an operator, maybe up to $55 for senior in WA state. This is not a great salary here. Better than 0 of course, but not awesome to make a whole life career out of it.
For some reason black women are obsessed with saying they are entrepreneurs. I don’t know enough about the culture to know where it comes from but it’s all over the place.
@@butlerbees6639it’s clear that you don’t know enough about the culture because as a black women, this is the first time hearing about our “obsession” with calling ourselves entrepreneurs
It makes me so mad when I see people look down on fast food workers. I worked at McDonalds as a teen and honestly that job taught me skills I use to this day. You can learn a LOT in a fast food restaurant if you’re willing to try and make the best of it
I personally believe everyone should work in a kitchen environment at least one, food skills aside the time management, multitasking, and custom service skills really show in other jobs
I know! We use to say that when I was young because McDonald’s paid minimum for the longest time and exploited you but I think now they pay a bit higher no? I mean I understand not wanting to be slaved by a job barely paying you but man take something. Server, restaurant something
Absolutely. These people need a whole lot of humility. I’ve worked as a housekeeper, kitchen porter, waitress and i have a lot more money than this financially ignorant person.
Same place of employment, same age, same sentiment. My first job ever and I learned so much because I chose to. Plus they are so much more organized than other fast food places that I was really glad that I chose to work there.
This episode was brutal because of how sad the situation is. A house being left behind for their children just to have said children choose the life of "I want to be an actress" instead of taking care of the mortgage is horrifying.
Has she not turned on a TV in 30 years? We all know the trope. You wait tables while you're waiting for your big break as an actress. You earn a living while you try to make it. Dying on a Walmart floor would be a luxury compared to what this woman is doing to herself. She's going to be dying of exposure in a shop doorway if she keeps this up.
Absolutely true. Being left a house (depending on the house) can be a massive boon. Managed correctly, that could take care of a decent chunk of your retirement and she is wasting it.
Absolutely true. Being left a house (depending on the house) can be a massive boon. Managed correctly, that could take care of a decent chunk of your retirement and she is wasting it.
Honestly she has the small start up founder part down- many I have worked for had similar attitudes. No one should work for free- no-one meaning them. You do not count. You should WANT to work for free to build our FAMILY!!! F right off with that ;)!
Man I can't imagine what it would be like to have been given 120k equity in a home with only 1k monthly mortgage payment. If she looses that house she'll regret it for the rest of her life.
Equity is a wonderful thing, I purchased a home in 2019 for 190k spent about 30-40k on renovations now it’s appraised at 430k with the equity I’m looking at building a home.
Loved hearing the direct to camera talk while she was gone. Please do it more. You’re amazing and help remind me to be vigilant in my budgeting and I appreciate you greatly Caleb
Recently heard regarding entrepreneurship… until your business (or brand) supports your entire life, you don’t have a career - you have a side gig to your day job.
I know someone who says the same bs... "Why would I work a week for $100 when I can make $100 in a day doing something else." BECAUSE YOU ARE CURRENTLY NOT MAKING $100 A DAY DOING THE OTHER THING... YOU ARE MAKING $0
I make 100 dollars a week working 1 hour at 100 an hour. I am barely surviving but I can’t find anywhere that will match my hourly pay and I won’t take a pay cut.
@@eze__95first, that is absolutely in Chinese, Japanese just wouldn't use kanji like that. second, I double checked the video, at 47:29 the characters clearly says "我有毒”, which literally translates to "I have poison", but more aptly interprets as "I'm toxic" I was born and raised in China, I use native level Chinese on a daily basis, and I took a Japanese class in college. So please stop spreading lies and bullshit.
@@MortenDamm Yeah honestly, super early into lockdowns was a different story cause there were lots of cars on lots and literally nobody wanted to buy a car, but after a couple of months, scarcity caused them to have a big uptick (used cards have only *recently* started coming down). Most dealerships don't pay full cash for every car that lands, so having a lot of cars that won't sell means you're paying insane interest (hence why cars stuck on lots for a long time get discounted). Low volume means low fees, and literally no incentive to rush the sales of cars, ESPECIALLY at 30% off what they paid for the trade (they'd make way more at auction)
It's the talking in circles that kills me. I've had similar conversations with family members that just won't accept that their situation is a direct outcome of THEIR actions.
Accountability goes a long way in life. So many people would benefit if they just held themselves accountable. Most people aren't honest with themselves
"Do you know what it takes to uphold a brand?" To Caleb who literally has a successful business. Im so tired of everyone who has any delusional aspiration calling themselves a "brand." All these people make me wonder if im the crazy person. Surely we do not all live in the same world.
hahahaaa... boy that was sooooo comical..🤣🤣 and then she topped it off with AUDACITY saying "I like to show appreciation towards my employees with $20 gas card"... fking wonderland level delulu.
I inherited a house from my late mother 2 years ago, I sometimes Google room prices to remind me of how lucky I am. Not even a house, just a room and the prices are *INSANE!* I realise I wouldn’t be able to survive out there. I’m insanely lucky and in a privileged position.
@@carinaadams6797 same. I inherited my childhood home from my dad when he passed. There’s no chance I would’ve been able to afford anything like this anytime soon.
@@chakazuluxmas4054 If you always think of paying for your housing as rent, it would be easy to misspeak. Especially if it's not a mortgage you went through all the process to buy a house for the first time and you're excited and scared.
Do you know how many people would kill to have a mortgage like that nowadays? What a dream come true! I would be making sure to work jobs and do everything to make sure the mortgage is paid. Not her! I would be reevaluating myself to see what I can do without so that the mortgage is a priority. Not her!
This woman is the worst hypocrite I've ever seen on the show!! She won't work for free but expects other to. She "eats healthy" but has a string of fast food charges. She is "favored" but every blessing she's been given is squandered. I think she deserves every consequence coming to her.
As soon as someone answers "favored" and/or "blessed" to my simple "...how are you?" question, my radar goes up. Those answers are code for "...I'm broke as hell and I will screw you out of every dollar I can get from you if you let me."
As someone living with two roommates in Austin paying 2400 a month for a regular house, it makes my blood boil that someone could piss away such a fantastic housing opportunity in Round Rock for ONLY 1K A MONTH. if I had such a good deal I would scoop shit with my bare hands to make sure I could cover it each month. She is absolutely undeserving
She’s clearly incredibly immature in every aspect. She destroyed her career when she left and didn’t work for 4 years. Nothing will hire her with that move in her past. It’s painful to see this because of how many people would be responsible with these gifts she was given that she just lit on fire. I also know a ton of people who are exactly like her.
“I’m favored” is code for “I don’t know why good things happen to me and I don’t know how to make good things happen in my life” total lack of agency. You create your own luck.
She didn’t seem to understand that having a lower minimum budget was a good thing. She kept wanting to argue is was $4000. To what end? She didn’t want to work to make the money to pay for that. I think she’s just getting off on complaining. I didn’t know what she wanted Caleb to do for her.
It was probably due to her knowing that doesn't actually cover all her "wanted" expenses. Plus she probably knows there are other expenses she didn't include.
She believes she got a great car deal. She thinks she go 50% off the car price. Car was $15k but she will pay $25k with interest. Dealers love delusional people.
Something's not right with that $15k number, though. You'll be hard pressed to find a 2020 Optima for $15k *right now* let alone when it was a brand new model.
@@CB018332She Lying. Can't be Brand new coz she mentioned some old guy bought it and didn't like it. Plus, on the year 2020, car prices around that time was already starting to skyrocket because of "Chip shortage" so there's no way its a Brand New car for 15K. Doesn't add up.
The triple threat…excuses, denial, and seeking approval for trying. I remember being there. I hope this helped her and she achieves great success and gets to do what she wants to do.
Whew the people that judge and have no idea what's actually going in is crazy.. thank you @tomsmall1244. I WILL be successful. One bad year doesn't break me
I used the majority of my savings to pay off my father's mortgage. It wasn't a selfless act, obviously, I'm going to inherit the house. But this way he can enjoy his older years without worrying about losing his house, and I have a reliable investment.
As an ex loan officer, the missed mortgage payment absolutely triggered me. Her mortgage payment is just over half of what mine is and it’s worth significantly more than my place. It’s mind blowing that she is risking such a huge equity position that could bankroll so much of her life and her “business” if she were to sell it. As to why it triggered me, mortgages are such a big investment people make. If someone can’t make all of their debt payments, they WILL make their mortgage payment. They may be past due on their car, student loans, or credit cards, but missed mortgage payments are one of the best indicators for finances being thrown out the window. If they are starting to miss a mortgage payment, that’s a massive red flag of a potential bankruptcy incoming soon. I used to deny people immediately if they had 2 recent missed mortgage payments even if they had everything else paid well, it’s that terrifying of a sight for financial wellbeing.
I was recently left an apartment from my mother passing last December. Luckily the mortgage is only $520/month and easily affordable. But it's the one payment I make sure is made monthly. Even tho there has only been two payments this year.
The missed mortgage payment was doubly sad because her mom (after passing) was trying to set her daughters up for success but they aren't taking it seriously. Huge opportunity that could potentially be squandered, as well as all the equity that her mom had built in the home.
I LOVE stocking and fast food service jobs 😭😭 being nice to people and giving them good, fast food brings me such joy, but it unfortunately lacks any benefits still. It’s wild to me that we as a country can’t see that if we just provided benefits for these jobs, people would choose them for careers. I LOVE racing my previous case count when I’m stocking overnight, I used to stock 80-100 cases an hour. It was so fun 😭 I miss it so much, but I am now at a job where I accrue PTO and have decent benefits, a 401k, etc. Can’t beat that, so it’s time to get some data analysts certs 😭
One thing I learned about watching all these financial audits is that the people who claim to have all these jobs & “entrepreneur” b.s are the ones who are in most debt. They claim to be on that “grinding” “hustling” mentality but they’re just ignorant& prideful. A lot of people lack taking responsibility of their actions.
At some point in the last decade “entrepreneur” went from meaning serious working small business owners who usually had at least a bit of success or prospects. Occasionally it was used by somebody who was just lazy, but that wasn’t the norm. Something in Internet culture made it a catch phrase for anybody and everybody who just wouldn’t get a job or was delusional.
Bruuuh, having a 100K house is an absolute dream... In Australia my partner and I are looking at buying a house on 175K of income total, and the houses are average 600K minimum on 5.5-6.5% interest 😭
She said she doesn’t smoke cigarettes but didn’t want to say she smokes weed on the internet. I’ve been clean for a month now and although it sounds like a small amount of time it’s a hell of a habit to leave. If only she got clean she would realize how much money she would be saving!!!
Lord, grant me the confidence this woman has, to be as bold as to make a statement like "I do eat healthy and I love to cook" while we're all looking at her bank statement showing she's eating Chick-Fil-A for every meal.
I owed 14k on my car and around 10k to the irs I found Caleb’s channel mid 2023. Since then I have fully paid the irs and next week I will have my car 100% paid off. I had to work 60-80 hours to get it done but I did it! And i listened to Caleb’s show almost every single day to keep me motivated. Thanks Caleb you literally helped change my life
I swear this eat, pray, love mindset is a disease. I get it. You worked corporate, probably not passionate about it. Lost a loved one, needed to grieve and process. But what you actually did is allow rot and mold into your life. Mental break downs and journeys to find yourself are only available to the wealthy or those willing to live on absolutely nothing. You are neither of those. You are blessed and will squander those blessings because you dont recognize them. The house, even this conversation with Caleb. You cant even take responsibility.
Honestly, I am really liking this more aggressive and confrontational Caleb. I don’t think he’s been or being and ass. I think that these people need that pressure that the coddling needs to stop. I appreciate that Caleb hasn’t been letting guests go on tirades about mental health and excuses. People need the tough love, to have the bullshit stop. You always convey that you want the best for people.
I think it depends on the person! I know that I personally and other people shut down with the tough love approach- it just won't get through to me if I'm being yelled at lol
I'm sorry she lost her mother, but I think she was left a nest egg of money on top of the house left to her and her sister. She coasted on that nest egg and gambled on crypto and here we are -- Not wanting to get back to work.
I'm with you. Based on her spending I don't think this was a sudden change, which it would need to be if she had built up those savings herself. I think she came into some money, stopped working while burning through it, then couldn't stop spending when it ran out.
Yeah, I am definitely getting the vibe that she gambled with the money in the hope of never having to work, and she lost. I would not hire her. I would not trust her to put in the work necessary to make her a valuable asset
This show really opened my eyes to how much all those small purchases made. I used to get little things on a whim and now I have a mini Caleb in my head going "really? REALLY?" and I immediately lose the desire hahaha
„Im favoured“, „I had special insight“, „it was a sign” The amount of people on this show that truely believe that some higher power genuinely gave them magical ability’s is beyond me
I never understand these folks who quit their jobs to be creative entrepreneurs without a business plan and financials to support themselves for a year or two while they are getting off the ground.
Same man. Currently working nights in warehouse while I try to launch into freelance graphic design in my free time, but I wouldn't dream of dropping my only stable source income for a dream. Graphics software is hella $ for starters
In this case, it sounds like she was needing to take significant time away to be with family and to take care of family affairs with her mother’s illness and passing. She chose to leave her job to grieve and take care of stuff, and then once she was out she chose to pursue something that brought her joy. It doesn’t really make *sense* but I absolutely understand the choices she made.
@@U2BearCatyou clearly have decided however you process grief is the same as others. EXPERTS - people who are trained with grief - would disagree with you on how ppl act. But let’s pretend that you are the expert. Worse ppl on the planet are ppl who experience grief and think it gives them the right to s**t on other ppl.
I did it in 2019 because my job was killing me mentally and the quick math of "costume sale price - material cost = profit" meant I made twice as much hourly doing the thing I loved. In reality it's not that simple and the grind will wear you down, despite what the entrepreneur side of the internet wants you to believe. It went south and now I'm working to fix it. First step was getting over that "my time is worth blahblah an hour and I could never work for less!" and I got a job as a school janitor. Pays more than pizza management did, people leave me alone, not much responsibility. Sure if I could make art at max productivity every single day, I could make way more. But that's not how life works. If I am having a bad day with my productivity and time management at my current job, I still get paid the same rate.
I would die for an $1000 mortgage a month. But let’s imagine splitting $1000 with somebody? 🤯🤯 And then on top of that not paying. 🤯 That’s just STRAIGHT UP negligence. 🤯🤯
@@leolewanayit’s the monthly payment for the bank loan you take out to buy a house. Most houses in the US are too expensive to pay cash for so you pay a certain percentage down and then get a loan for the amount of the majority of the house. The payment is based off of the interest rate and the purchase amount. If you don’t pay the mortgage you will go into foreclosure and the bank will seize the house. $1k a month is very low which means the loan was taken out at a time when interest rates were significantly lower than they are now, and if you took out a new loan or went to rent you would not find equivalent housing for $1k.
Someone needs to tell her that being delinquent on one payment for a car is enough for them to come take it if they really want to. Not paying a car bill is a huge fucking deal.
She’s “favored” what does she care? It always shocks me to see people kissing car payments and being past due. Why risk something like that? During the pandemic I called and got a payment delay so I never went past due. It’s not hard to tell loaners you’re struggling and get more time to do it. Just immature.
I remember I had a really good friend who hadn’t seen her dad in years, they had a bit of a strained relationship. Her dad invited her to his home in Atlanta (we’re in the Midwest) and she was very excited. Taking a bunch of pictures of ATL and so happy that her dad is being present in her life. Dad even gave her a nice shiny BMW. SUV type car. Looked like something a rich soccer mom would drive. She drove the car back to Kansas City, elated at her dad’s kindness. Within a month the car was repo’d out of her boyfriend’s driveway. He must have ran out of money to pay, and manipulatively decided “eh I’ll pawn it off on my daughter. Worst case it’s repossessed anyways, best case my daughter believes im very generous.” Don’t know how long he missed payments for. But they seriously had that car for ~3 weeks before it disappeared out of the driveway.
I inherited my dads house a little over a year ago and i couldn't imagine squandering his gift, he loved his house and i feel blessed he chose to give it to me.
I found Caleb by accident, but I’m glad I did! I love his hilarious, no-nonsense, direct approach on trying to help people live better financially. Keep up the great work, Brother!!
@@anthonydapruzzo8524thanks for giving the time stamp, I didn't even notice they didn't bleep it out because it was so perfect for the comment he was making.
Caleb needs to communicate that a temporary job to dig out is not your identity. We see all the time people wont do something because they feel it its below them..
Yep. The one thing I would add (which is probably an unpopular opinion) is that a lot of "minimum" (not literally) wage jobs are by design not worth your time. I think people (myself included) straddle the line between feeling this as righteousness vs aspiration.
yeah it’s crazy and what is behind this idealism of I’m only this or that in relation to a job title. It’s as if people have lost the ability to plan and set goals. 😢
Liberty University is not a joke : recently graduated and got my master in Making Instant Lemonade with Finesse (M.I.L.F), I have been working since then as a Pool Boy Engineer , Laying Down the Pipes
Yea. At 55 she literally could not understand what they had been doing. He added up all her expenses line by line from info he got directly from her and then she didn’t believe that she could survive on that amount of money. Then she even asked if that included mortgage, car etc when they had JUST done that.
@@choreomaniac Yea that blew my mind when she listed off her stuff for a second and third time. Almost like her brain refused to accept that her minimum expenses were so little, based on the fact she guess 4k even after adding it up, yet still in a really bad spot financially.
I remember when I first opened my retirement account, the advisor that helped me said “NEVER borrow from your retirement, just pretend that money is not even there.” So I’ve been doing that and it’s worked lol. Thanks to finding this channel I’ve actually learned a lot. Very informative and absolutely entertaining. Keep up the good work, Caleb!
Exactly. I'm a CPA because I like numbers and stuff and it pays well but my dream is traveling and creating a cozy home that brings me peace. I just got a house and just came back for Italy. I couldn't have done it without my job!
When she said she had a "brand" I instantly knew that Hammer was going to get pissed. Borrowing money to put yourself out as a brand is probably one of the craziest things I've heard on this show especially when you have no marketable equity at all!
Caleb often talks about dying on the Walmart floor, but I think he also needs to make clear to people, and perhaps do a rough calculation, that if you continue like this, you will be bankrupt and homeless in this many months/years.
It’s interesting watching him slowly melt down as he realizes that he is dealing with someone who doesn’t understand basic arithmetic and lies about what she does while taking zero responsibility for what her actions.
By the grace of God, my fiancé finally started watching you and he sat me down last night to really understand our budget and create a strategy to pay off his existing credit card debt with the avalanche method. Thank you for your hilarious reactions, and thank you for all the guests who come on to make the show a possibility, because we have learned so much!! Sometimes people need to hear someone else get reamed by you in order to see through the own lies they’ve been telling themselves, and it’s helping a lot of people Caleb. You and your team keep up the great work!
She could live like the families in the 1960s and 70s did. She could get a minimum wage job at a grocery store and support herself for life. But instead she wants to think she's better than that and try to make it as a model. Absolutely delusional. I have a feeling she's not going to gather any work ethic until it all falls out from under her.
So here's what this reads like to me: midlife crisis. Recently lost a loved one, suddenly looking at dreams disappearing, and made a huge, unsustainable life change. This reeks of internal panic about being too old to pursue certain dreams, like modelling, which is a young person's game.
No, the purposeful obliviousness and delusion was there earlier than that. She bought a 2020 KIA at 13%. At the time she had her highest income. And still said it was the lowest interest rate she ever had.
If you believe you’re favored, isn’t it a dishonor to God to squander the gifts you’ve been given? A house with a $1000 mortgage, a $30k car bought for $15k, and you’re going to lose them both? How many more gifts do you expect to receive without showing appreciation for what you’ve gotten?
She was right about one thing, she is favored as an individual. My condolences to her mom, but God still provided her a house at an amazing mortgage I'm assuming (I'm from CA so I don't know, everyone's mortgage sounds amazing to me). She seems to have been very fortunate surviving up to this point with all the debt and failures she caused on herself, but I hope she can turn it around.
The audacity of the ‘I’m trying’
Before I found Caleb last summer I had a 72 month car loan- 60 months left. I realized I needed more money to take care of it so I got a second job.
I don’t love working retail again- but I have 15 years experience and got a job within 2 weeks. I’ll have the car paid off by November. Full emergency fund by may 2025. It’s 16 months working 55 hours a week and there’s no debt. I can do it😊
Well done!
Amazing, smash that debt! ❤

"I'm trying to find balance." Gal, you got balance on every one of your statements (car, house, student loans, credit cards). That's the balance you need to worry about.
😂😂😂 that was GOOD
Hahahaahah actually LOL
Too good 😂😂😂

I understand grief is a real thing. But her loosing that house is the biggest disrespect to her late mother she could ever give.
Agreed. I don't understand it.
I agree. I was hoping Caleb would point that out & make her feel bad about that tbh.
Agreed. Her mom would definitely tell her to tight the house. Instead of loosing it.
(losing) * fixed *
Right, worked any job and saved every penny I could to keep my mums house, my childhood home. Out of respect because I know how much she struggled with it herself. I will do anything to keep it to honour her memory.
An unemployed person hiring people with a small business loan might be the craziest thing I've ever heard
It's called being a boss in my company that I haven't started yet , but in the meantime I'll hire people, even though the company hasn't been built
I'm pretty sure that "business loan" was the infamous PPP loan scheme. Therefore she had to say she paid people even though she pocketed the money, just like millions of others did😬

when I opened this video from what was going on in the short, I did not expect to find a 34 year old that can't afford a $1,000 mortgage. this is a ridiculous person.
@@kellenhurtado9357 You think half the people couldn't afford that? the median earnings in the US per week is $1000 per week. So if you're an average person in the workforce, you could afford a $1k mortgage. If she just got one roommate, she could work a low wage job at around $12/hr and afford half the rent. That's how I singled her out-using math.
@@kellenhurtado9357what do you mean singling her it’s an episode about her 😂😂😂😂 what else are we supposed to talk about

Good point. She probably got the main character virus
I was annoyed she didn't see the contradiction...
So weird that a company paying you as little as they possibly can and sees you as a temporary body to fill the workload wouldn't "appreciate" her 😂😂😂😂 that's 99% of all jobs.

I thought it was hilarious how she said we need to stop expecting people to work for free and then she said that. It sounds like a company having record profits and rewarding their employees with a pizza party

Great job dude

That’s so amazing! Keep it up!!!!
this channel has really shifted my money mindset. i’ve realized how many wants i’ve put before my financial needs. i’ve recently paid off my credit card and one of my student loans. it’s a very liberating experience, i didn’t realize how heavy those debts weighed on my shoulders until i started doing something about it. thank you, Caleb, my daughter won’t have to care for me out of her pocket one day. ur doing the financial lords work.
Honestly the hardest part when you get behind on debt is to just start paying it off.
That’s so awesome!!! Good for you!! I’m sure you’re daughter will not only appreciate that someday, but that she will also admire your work ethic and learn financial habits from you that help her be successful!
I'm blown away that she had the confidence to brag on her investing and saying "I was going to become a millionaire" 30 seconds before she asks if bitcoin is a STOCK.
Yeah that was the most insane part of this episode and that’s saying something
She should have took the money out before it went to shit
A lot of guests on this show have had the crypto millionaire dream😂
Bitcoin is a scam, that's what bitcoin is. Unless you are on the inside "inventing" these coins, you will probably lose all the money you put in. I've been investing 10%-20% of my low wages for 20 years and I'm not a millionaire. Good years it does increase my net worth nicely but I don't spend money from my investments until I retire.

Her pride and ego are setting her back. Like he mentioned at one point she could go flip burgers but she obviously believes that’s below her.
A lot of models think like this. They think modeling is a career. Yeah it is, for the 1%😂 especially the huge ego. Dating a few was a absolute nightmare
She was handed a home and thinks she is too good to work for $15 an hour. There is no saving this woman.
This person has inherited wealth but is entirely unwilling to preserve it. UNREAL.
Yeah it’s so sad. The toiling and nights falling to sleep due to sheer exhaustion by her mother/parents means nothing. The given mortgage from heaven gone. The generational wealth to prevent what so many people of all different colors DREAM of - GONE. All it takes is the weakest link and the whole kingdom falls apart.
Gotta set it up right so no one person can have the ability to bring down the empire, unfortunately that will reduce the amount of control you have over it.

Prayerful she and the sister are paying the taxes on that home or they’ll loose it for sure if foreclosure doesn’t come first. Caleb is right, how can you squander that sort of built-in equity IN AUSTIN NO LESS??? 🤦🏾♀️ 🙃🙄
Ive noticed that a lot of people who he interviews are more focused on the perception of wealth than actual wealth. they would rather be broke influencers than make 50K$ doing a 9-5
They are entitled lazy narcissists
Yeah, they're all people who don't realize that the material goods that they want mathematically don't make sense on their incomes (as Caleb likes to say). They simply can't fathom that the new, shiny cars or trucks they want, the travelling, eating out, going to concerts, expensive clothes and such... are all consumptions that they would need to make tens of thousands dollars more to be able to afford on top of regular living expenses without going into debt
Exactly.
Like one of his early ones who was putting out good vibes so that she'd somehow get money. And she also hated working more than 3-4 hours per day and had to ubereats and doordash because somehow her time was valuable.
I remember I was on the influencer grind. I was making a few thousand a month, but it just wasn’t enough. It really doesn’t make much money until you reach a certain level; and, like most creative careers, it takes a lot of time, dedication, luck and skill to get to the point where you’re even making a FT paycheck, let alone anything extra. It’s much better to have a boring job that gives you mental space to be creative than struggling and flailing around.
I pay $1,060 for my STUDIO apartment in south Austin where I was born and raised. And that is CHEAP. I work my ass off for $600/week. How she even have a roof over her head? She’s never had it rough with nothing to fall back on and it shows. Those nights without a place to go alone on the streets of Austin as a teen were enough for me to suck it up and get a job.
Yup. I didn't have it that bad but I still got a big dose of reality when I graduated college and couldn't get a job in my chosen field so I had to go back into construction. I'm still working towards my goals in life but that humble pie stung pretty bad.

Same dude. I feel so accomplished just not being a fuck up 😂
Even if we're dead broke, atleast we're not these airheads
lol same I’m like wow I’m more responsible than I thought
SAME. I'm not the smartest financially, I have mild addictions [nicotine, THC, Kratom] but I pay for them, getting worse lately so it's time for a break on the ol puff puff if ya know what I mean, and hey I can be impulsive too, maybe I buy a random indie game on PC I don't need and may only play 10 hours of? That's bad, I can hugely improve, hey at least I'm saving some $$$ now. These videos have helped me a ton but also..
When I watch these videos, where the people are living like ME with no stable income, while also buried in credit card debt, I don't know how they mentally cope with that tbh. I get fighting for motivation and the like but god damn there's a point where shit is too far/too bad.
I could never not pay my bills. I would gladly take any job to help pay for them if it was to get to that point.
34 years old and not making $2000 a month is wild…parents and partners need to stop babysitting adults like this.

Thats true and those jobs are often easier to get started if you are really in a pinch for money
Probably had decent insurance too!
I did the same for 8 months in between jobs. Bet you had diarrhea for the first month of working there 😂
They really don’t though. It’s like $25-40/hr for an operator, maybe up to $55 for senior in WA state. This is not a great salary here. Better than 0 of course, but not awesome to make a whole life career out of it.
That ending 🥶🥶🥶 so many more people are delusional
"I'm a model, an actress, and an entrepreneur." Why doesn't she just say she's unemployed?

The self aggrandizing here is astounding honestly. It's definitely hard to stomach at times
She and the manifesting woman should "start a brand" together 😂😂😂😂
It’s Biblical. Meaning God’s hands are on you for His purpose.
It makes me so mad when I see people look down on fast food workers. I worked at McDonalds as a teen and honestly that job taught me skills I use to this day. You can learn a LOT in a fast food restaurant if you’re willing to try and make the best of it
I personally believe everyone should work in a kitchen environment at least one, food skills aside the time management, multitasking, and custom service skills really show in other jobs
I know! We use to say that when I was young because McDonald’s paid minimum for the longest time and exploited you but I think now they pay a bit higher no? I mean I understand not wanting to be slaved by a job barely paying you but man take something. Server, restaurant something
Absolutely. These people need a whole lot of humility. I’ve worked as a housekeeper, kitchen porter, waitress and i have a lot more money than this financially ignorant person.
My mom & I discussed that at Chick-FIL-A. Fast food workers work hard! I realize things slow a bit between meals, but they do earn their money.
Same place of employment, same age, same sentiment. My first job ever and I learned so much because I chose to. Plus they are so much more organized than other fast food places that I was really glad that I chose to work there.
This episode was brutal because of how sad the situation is. A house being left behind for their children just to have said children choose the life of "I want to be an actress" instead of taking care of the mortgage is horrifying.
I knowwww!!! It’s so sad I wanna cry!!!!
At a whopping 1k in Austin Tx smh
Has she not turned on a TV in 30 years? We all know the trope. You wait tables while you're waiting for your big break as an actress. You earn a living while you try to make it. Dying on a Walmart floor would be a luxury compared to what this woman is doing to herself. She's going to be dying of exposure in a shop doorway if she keeps this up.
Absolutely true. Being left a house (depending on the house) can be a massive boon. Managed correctly, that could take care of a decent chunk of your retirement and she is wasting it.

The 15k off the car was probably a trade in worth 20k+. She's just way to naive to realize what is really happening.
She might have had a $10k trade in that she forgot about. No car dealer in 6/2020 gave anything away.
@@MortenDamm Yeah honestly, super early into lockdowns was a different story cause there were lots of cars on lots and literally nobody wanted to buy a car, but after a couple of months, scarcity caused them to have a big uptick (used cards have only *recently* started coming down).
Most dealerships don't pay full cash for every car that lands, so having a lot of cars that won't sell means you're paying insane interest (hence why cars stuck on lots for a long time get discounted). Low volume means low fees, and literally no incentive to rush the sales of cars, ESPECIALLY at 30% off what they paid for the trade (they'd make way more at auction)

I would be making sure to work jobs and do everything to make sure the mortgage is paid. Not her!
I would be reevaluating myself to see what I can do without so that the mortgage is a priority. Not her!
She 100% bought a used car while looking at the original window sticker price and thinking she was "favored". These people walk among us.
She bought a 2020 in 2020. That means the car had been out for a year already. Not to mention it had a previous owner and she knew that.
This woman is the worst hypocrite I've ever seen on the show!! She won't work for free but expects other to. She "eats healthy" but has a string of fast food charges. She is "favored" but every blessing she's been given is squandered. I think she deserves every consequence coming to her.
As soon as someone answers "favored" and/or "blessed" to my simple "...how are you?" question, my radar goes up. Those answers are code for "...I'm broke as hell and I will screw you out of every dollar I can get from you if you let me."

Her not understanding the budget minimum he laid out was hard to watch. She doesn’t understand basic math or numbers or reality. It’s truly sad.
Model/ acting mentality
dont worry she graduated frm a private University!!
Don’t worry, she was born on Christmas so the world will gift her things!!
She didn’t seem to understand that having a lower minimum budget was a good thing. She kept wanting to argue is was $4000. To what end? She didn’t want to work to make the money to pay for that. I think she’s just getting off on complaining. I didn’t know what she wanted Caleb to do for her.
It was probably due to her knowing that doesn't actually cover all her "wanted" expenses. Plus she probably knows there are other expenses she didn't include.
She believes she got a great car deal. She thinks she go 50% off the car price. Car was $15k but she will pay $25k with interest. Dealers love delusional people.
Something's not right with that $15k number, though. You'll be hard pressed to find a 2020 Optima for $15k *right now* let alone when it was a brand new model.
@CB018332 It might be rebuilt title or something else with the car that dropped it’s value so much

OMG she has won the real estate Lottery with a tiny mortgage and is burning it to the ground. That is just horrifying.
A tiny mortgage in Austin. My heart stopped.
Right?! I'd take that amount of mortgage in a heartbeat.
She was scare to tell him about $1000 mortgage
I used the majority of my savings to pay off my father's mortgage. It wasn't a selfless act, obviously, I'm going to inherit the house. But this way he can enjoy his older years without worrying about losing his house, and I have a reliable investment.
As an ex loan officer, the missed mortgage payment absolutely triggered me. Her mortgage payment is just over half of what mine is and it’s worth significantly more than my place. It’s mind blowing that she is risking such a huge equity position that could bankroll so much of her life and her “business” if she were to sell it.
As to why it triggered me, mortgages are such a big investment people make. If someone can’t make all of their debt payments, they WILL make their mortgage payment. They may be past due on their car, student loans, or credit cards, but missed mortgage payments are one of the best indicators for finances being thrown out the window. If they are starting to miss a mortgage payment, that’s a massive red flag of a potential bankruptcy incoming soon. I used to deny people immediately if they had 2 recent missed mortgage payments even if they had everything else paid well, it’s that terrifying of a sight for financial wellbeing.
I was recently left an apartment from my mother passing last December. Luckily the mortgage is only $520/month and easily affordable. But it's the one payment I make sure is made monthly. Even tho there has only been two payments this year.
The missed mortgage payment was doubly sad because her mom (after passing) was trying to set her daughters up for success but they aren't taking it seriously. Huge opportunity that could potentially be squandered, as well as all the equity that her mom had built in the home.

I LOVE stocking and fast food service jobs 😭😭 being nice to people and giving them good, fast food brings me such joy, but it unfortunately lacks any benefits still. It’s wild to me that we as a country can’t see that if we just provided benefits for these jobs, people would choose them for careers. I LOVE racing my previous case count when I’m stocking overnight, I used to stock 80-100 cases an hour. It was so fun 😭 I miss it so much, but I am now at a job where I accrue PTO and have decent benefits, a 401k, etc. Can’t beat that, so it’s time to get some data analysts certs 😭
One thing I learned about watching all these financial audits is that the people who claim to have all these jobs & “entrepreneur” b.s are the ones who are in most debt. They claim to be on that “grinding” “hustling” mentality but they’re just ignorant& prideful. A lot of people lack taking responsibility of their actions.
also, "entrepreneur" is another way of saying I don't want to work...
I’m starting to think “Entrepreneur” is another way to say scammer 😮
People say entrepreneur when broke so they don't have to say unemployed.
Proof that “entrepreneur” is not a word that confers wealth or status. Most small business owners make less than $50K a year.
She was hammering something about business deductions…honey, you have to make money first. She REALLY needs to get a job, any job!
At some point in the last decade “entrepreneur” went from meaning serious working small business owners who usually had at least a bit of success or prospects. Occasionally it was used by somebody who was just lazy, but that wasn’t the norm.
Something in Internet culture made it a catch phrase for anybody and everybody who just wouldn’t get a job or was delusional.

I swear this eat, pray, love mindset is a disease. I get it. You worked corporate, probably not passionate about it. Lost a loved one, needed to grieve and process. But what you actually did is allow rot and mold into your life. Mental break downs and journeys to find yourself are only available to the wealthy or those willing to live on absolutely nothing. You are neither of those. You are blessed and will squander those blessings because you dont recognize them. The house, even this conversation with Caleb. You cant even take responsibility.
Honestly, I am really liking this more aggressive and confrontational Caleb. I don’t think he’s been or being and ass. I think that these people need that pressure that the coddling needs to stop. I appreciate that Caleb hasn’t been letting guests go on tirades about mental health and excuses.
People need the tough love, to have the bullshit stop. You always convey that you want the best for people.
That "were done please leave" at the end hit so hard lol
Even with it he’s still not breaking their deluded thinking. Sad, when she loses the house, that might wake her up
I think it depends on the person! I know that I personally and other people shut down with the tough love approach- it just won't get through to me if I'm being yelled at lol

I'm sorry she lost her mother, but I think she was left a nest egg of money on top of the house left to her and her sister. She coasted on that nest egg and gambled on crypto and here we are -- Not wanting to get back to work.
I'm with you.
Based on her spending I don't think this was a sudden change, which it would need to be if she had built up those savings herself. I think she came into some money, stopped working while burning through it, then couldn't stop spending when it ran out.
Pandemic money ran out…
Yeah, I am definitely getting the vibe that she gambled with the money in the hope of never having to work, and she lost. I would not hire her. I would not trust her to put in the work necessary to make her a valuable asset
Yup! She blew all of the money and now she's broke
This show really opened my eyes to how much all those small purchases made. I used to get little things on a whim and now I have a mini Caleb in my head going "really? REALLY?" and I immediately lose the desire hahaha

Me too! This YT channel is the gift that keeps on giving!
„Im favoured“, „I had special insight“, „it was a sign”
The amount of people on this show that truely believe that some higher power genuinely gave them magical ability’s is beyond me
To believe some kind of special being gave YOU special favour screams narcissism to me. You’re not special, there are billions of people!!
It's a cope. They have to believe some supernatural power has their back or reality would nreak them.
At this point it can be a drinking game.
I believe in God, but I don’t blame Him for my stupid mistakes.
@Markeritavilleit’s because if they tell themselves they are special, they don’t have to face to the reality they are kind of a loser.
I never understand these folks who quit their jobs to be creative entrepreneurs without a business plan and financials to support themselves for a year or two while they are getting off the ground.
Same man. Currently working nights in warehouse while I try to launch into freelance graphic design in my free time, but I wouldn't dream of dropping my only stable source income for a dream. Graphics software is hella $ for starters
In this case, it sounds like she was needing to take significant time away to be with family and to take care of family affairs with her mother’s illness and passing. She chose to leave her job to grieve and take care of stuff, and then once she was out she chose to pursue something that brought her joy. It doesn’t really make *sense* but I absolutely understand the choices she made.

@@U2BearCatyou clearly have decided however you process grief is the same as others. EXPERTS - people who are trained with grief - would disagree with you on how ppl act. But let’s pretend that you are the expert. Worse ppl on the planet are ppl who experience grief and think it gives them the right to s**t on other ppl.
I did it in 2019 because my job was killing me mentally and the quick math of "costume sale price - material cost = profit" meant I made twice as much hourly doing the thing I loved. In reality it's not that simple and the grind will wear you down, despite what the entrepreneur side of the internet wants you to believe.
It went south and now I'm working to fix it. First step was getting over that "my time is worth blahblah an hour and I could never work for less!" and I got a job as a school janitor. Pays more than pizza management did, people leave me alone, not much responsibility. Sure if I could make art at max productivity every single day, I could make way more. But that's not how life works. If I am having a bad day with my productivity and time management at my current job, I still get paid the same rate.
I would die for an $1000 mortgage a month. But let’s imagine splitting $1000 with somebody? 🤯🤯 And then on top of that not paying. 🤯 That’s just STRAIGHT UP negligence. 🤯🤯
what exactly is a mortgage ? I'm not from the US, I struggle to understand the gravity of her situation in that regards... ^^'
@@leolewanaymortgage is just another word for a loan. And there is no gravity to her situation she's just dumb.
@@leolewanay home loan
@@leolewanayit’s the monthly payment for the bank loan you take out to buy a house. Most houses in the US are too expensive to pay cash for so you pay a certain percentage down and then get a loan for the amount of the majority of the house. The payment is based off of the interest rate and the purchase amount. If you don’t pay the mortgage you will go into foreclosure and the bank will seize the house. $1k a month is very low which means the loan was taken out at a time when interest rates were significantly lower than they are now, and if you took out a new loan or went to rent you would not find equivalent housing for $1k.
@@rebeccashields9626 Thank you very much for the very clear response ! :)
As someone who lost their mom, her losing that house would be the deepest disrespect to her late mom. She has such a gift she’s not appreciating.
Someone needs to tell her that being delinquent on one payment for a car is enough for them to come take it if they really want to. Not paying a car bill is a huge fucking deal.
She’s “favored” what does she care? It always shocks me to see people kissing car payments and being past due. Why risk something like that? During the pandemic I called and got a payment delay so I never went past due. It’s not hard to tell loaners you’re struggling and get more time to do it. Just immature.
I remember I had a really good friend who hadn’t seen her dad in years, they had a bit of a strained relationship. Her dad invited her to his home in Atlanta (we’re in the Midwest) and she was very excited. Taking a bunch of pictures of ATL and so happy that her dad is being present in her life. Dad even gave her a nice shiny BMW. SUV type car. Looked like something a rich soccer mom would drive.
She drove the car back to Kansas City, elated at her dad’s kindness. Within a month the car was repo’d out of her boyfriend’s driveway.
He must have ran out of money to pay, and manipulatively decided “eh I’ll pawn it off on my daughter. Worst case it’s repossessed anyways, best case my daughter believes im very generous.” Don’t know how long he missed payments for. But they seriously had that car for ~3 weeks before it disappeared out of the driveway.
At least it will be nice and clean when they come repo it since she goes to the car wash. 😭😂

Caleb needs to communicate that a temporary job to dig out is not your identity. We see all the time people wont do something because they feel it its below them..
Yep. The one thing I would add (which is probably an unpopular opinion) is that a lot of "minimum" (not literally) wage jobs are by design not worth your time. I think people (myself included) straddle the line between feeling this as righteousness vs aspiration.
yeah it’s crazy and what is behind this idealism of I’m only this or that in relation to a job title. It’s as if people have lost the ability to plan and set goals. 😢
It's not even an identity issue, it's a discomfort issue. People don't like to handle hardship.

When she said she had a "brand" I instantly knew that Hammer was going to get pissed. Borrowing money to put yourself out as a brand is probably one of the craziest things I've heard on this show especially when you have no marketable equity at all!
You are forgetting she is blessed and favoured by God and she is a Capricorn so she will endure the periods between the said blessings.
she has no idea how close she is to homelessness.
Her net worth is actually positive because of the equity in the house, but if she continues this path, yeah homelessness is definitely a possibility.
Caleb often talks about dying on the Walmart floor, but I think he also needs to make clear to people, and perhaps do a rough calculation, that if you continue like this, you will be bankrupt and homeless in this many months/years.

I have a feeling she's not going to gather any work ethic until it all falls out from under her.
Or go back into tech since she already has experience.
So here's what this reads like to me: midlife crisis. Recently lost a loved one, suddenly looking at dreams disappearing, and made a huge, unsustainable life change. This reeks of internal panic about being too old to pursue certain dreams, like modelling, which is a young person's game.
She also might be a narcissist
No, the purposeful obliviousness and delusion was there earlier than that. She bought a 2020 KIA at 13%. At the time she had her highest income. And still said it was the lowest interest rate she ever had.

She was right about one thing, she is favored as an individual. My condolences to her mom, but God still provided her a house at an amazing mortgage I'm assuming (I'm from CA so I don't know, everyone's mortgage sounds amazing to me).
