      Romain, you should have showed Chelsea how long it would take to pay off that expense for every hour of the party. Example: If the wedding lasted 5 hours including the reception, she would be making payments for "x" months for every hour of partying. I will never, ever, ever understand the logic behind spending what could have been a down payment for a house on a party that lasts 5 hours and for a dress that would only be worn one time. I guess, if we all think about it, a wedding is a horrible, wasted expense and does nothing to help the couple get financially ready for their long marriage. Would any of us pay $40k for a car that we drove around for 5 hours and had to give it back? No. Just elope, people. And put the wedding fund towards something that will grow in value.

    I like this channel a lot! Every person that is on UA-cam has influence from other creators. I found Caleb when binge watching Dave Ramsey, and found Romain when binge watching Caleb.
    Realistically, the more awareness of debt the better. Our society is in such a bad place financially. My husband and I just paid off $186,000 of debt, and it feels amazing to finally be free of that huge burden. I wish I had been more aware of how hard it would be to pay back when I was taking out 100k in student loans and putting music festivals on credit cards and financing everything else.
    To everyone trying to get out of a hole right now - you can do it! Fight past needless consumerism and you will reap the rewards later!

    I dont think ive ever heard anyone with such a flippant approach to debt. She has so many excuses and justifications for everything. Its hard to see her being able to change her financial habits without also looking at how she explains everything away. I did watch the update video and it looks like she made some positive changes but her explanation for not cancelling the cruise or downgrading the room auggest that she still has the same attitude of justification.

    This is my favorite UA-cam finance channel. I enjoy watching Ramsey and Caleb hammer, but I don’t always feel like how they talked to guest would be considered tough love. They get condescending and talk down to their guests. This is a really effective podcast because it’s more considerate to the guests and not just shaming them.

    It shocked me when you mentioned she wants to retire at 45...with an IRA of $25k and a debt of $176k with a projected $130k income, she cant afford her current lifestyle, so how would it be possible to afford it without any income? 😅 I hope your conversation has helped her realize that she needs to reconsider her financial situation and impulsive spending. I also deal with mental health issues so I get how those can factor into the situation, but it's still up to the individual to find ways to accomodate their conditions so they can move forward in a healthy way (having a visual representation of the debt, for example, sounds like a good solution in this case.) I hope she is able to put the recommendations into action to improve her situation.

Even with 100 guests at $100 per person, that's $10,000. Most of the other wedding expenses, cake, flowers, photos, entertainment, favors, service could certainly be done on a very modest scale. RE: the $55K in student loan debt, does any really think that the taxpayers should bailout these loans with such irresponsible money management?

I'm not where I want to be and I do not want to be thinking comfortably, sitting at anything better than "Surviving" or how I may reword it as "Content," because I believe that would make be stagnant with wanting to be better, financially.
      But I don't want to rate myself the worst MAYDAY, because I believe that also could incur me to make bad decisions because I'm panicking.

      Correct my recommendation when running your own business is to contribute a portion of your TOP LINE (aka. revenue), not PROFIT to a Tax Account, I like High Yield Saving Accounts and keep that money until tax are dues (either on a Quarterly or Yearly basis, depending on your type of business).
