She was feeling some genuine shame. You can tell she didn't really grasp what was going on until she got the responses she did for her previous upload. She's still clearly dense, but seems to be capable of learning. There's hope for her... but her education will probably take 84 months.
Or even just bragging about paying ANY kind of loan tbh...I personally dont know many people who would be comfortable sharing publicly they have outstanding loans, let alone strutting it like a peacock display.
it’s sadly as if being debt-free and owning your property is a nasty thing with these people and they wonder why they go broke when people stop paying attention to them 🤣
1:06 The devil is in the details. It's an 84-month repayment term, but it doesn't end until June 2029, which means she didn't make her first payment until July 2022. So she had an $84k loan from December 2021 that continued to gather interest for six months before she made a single payment. At 10.2%, that's an additional $4,300 added to the principal. Now add to this that she's only made about 20 payments (not 3 years as she was claiming) and you start to understand why the balance is still $74k.
I actually wanna say this may not be the case. My interest is so high on my 2016 dodge caravan, I paid faithfully on time for four years, when online to see what I needed to do to pay it off early, I still had 3 additional years, beachside I had to make an addition principle payment every month to have had it paid off in the 60 months I was to. Capital o\One for ya. This isn’t the case for every loan but just wanted to give my two cents. Also not justifying this ding bat at all. I was mad about paying 19K for my van. After interest I paid 26K yes an extra 7K in interest woooo.
@@HeyThatsMe3 "this may not be the case" It's not a matter of opinion. All the details included in my comment come from the account statements posted by Blaisey Arnold, the Tik Tok lady.
This woman is a complete airhead. Let the truck get repossessed? Sure, not only ruin your credit but that truck will be sold at auction for probably less than you'd get selling it yourself. Plus, whatever the difference is between the auction sale and what you still owe on it, you're still liable for. I don't know what these two do for a living but whatever it is doesn't require much in the way of critical thinking.
But they got the loans so they must have good income or are banks/financing companies giving out loans like they did before the financial crisis? Do these people save anything for retirement?
Temu Sandra Bullock here has to either be humble bragging or her and her husband are imbeciles and shouldn't possess a credit card and maybe avoid going to the bank for more loans they cannot afford
They will happily lease or finance a vehicle to someone that will fumble it, then it comes back as a used inventory. They will sell the same car over and over again to people who cant afford it, collecting from each person and in the end still getting the vehicle back.
Yes! You still owe the bank the full loan amount. You owe that much the moment you sign the paperwork. Giving back the vehicle doesn't remove the total $130K obligation, it only reduces it by the auction amount, which might be $20K if you're lucky. She would likley still owe the bank $90-$100K if she had the Tahoe repossessed. And the bank will take that Audi from her in payment.
Her problem isn't the giant payment, it's her obvious obsession with appearances. Veneers, tan, ink and pretty obvious cosmetic surgery for example. Probably still paying that off too. Insecurities and wrong priorities...
Can you explain why August said financing is better than buying in cash if you have good credit? I was raised in a cave and I'm the first person in my family with money.
It is where I am but it's done in freshman year of highschool so none of what you learn actually matters until you're ahunior or senior, and by then all you've retained is that low credit score = bad and be responsible
I recently bought a car. I paid $2600 in cash. That's it. Runs great--needs a little work, but nothing impossible. $80k for a glorified minivan? Jebus.
Let's dissect all your finances. How much do you spend on coffee daily? How much are your shoes, on average? How much on lawn care? Hair products? Do you golf? How much did you waste on clubs? How much did you waste on the bag? Fees at the local golf club? It's all relative....
@@capnobvious2718 $0 on coffee. $20 on shoes two years ago. $10 on hair products. I just bought a new bag for $40. I don't go to clubs. I don't play golf. I also don't gamble. I live in a tiny home. I walk my talk.
Zero on coffee, tea, soda. I already get tap water. $20-$25 every two months on personal care items. Shoes? $60 every four months. I don't golf, I don't have a gym membership (gravity is free). I do have to spend a bit on high performance computing technology, because that's just my industry. Not for gaming, for development and research. It pays for itself. Food? This I splurge a bit on, but it's not eating out. Cooking is a hobby, and if I'm in the mood for something from Escoffier or Child, I have reasonable sources (I swear to God, Mexican carnicerias and Asian markets are *the best*. Even for food that isn't culturally similar, they tend to be high value and just awesome) . I make a really good wage, and I've lived in Palo Alto and Woodside (if you know your silicon valley areas). The happiest people tend to be the ones that don't give much thought to expensive stuff for the sake of status. High quality, aestheticly pleasing? Absolutely. Expensive for expensive sake? Pass.
I got 8% instead of 6% because of a single late $35 credit card payment. But I was also 25 years old. In total it will cost me $30k, less than a year left, and I could sell it for $25k easy
She prays for $3K a month and it magically gets paid? Is she praying to the oompah loompah God because she looks like a disciple. (Yes I know you meant paying)
WHO in the HELL would EVER buy a car that costs $75,000.00!!! NO vehicle is worth that! Imagine the cost of special parts/labor every time something breaks. What a FRU-FRU Baby! People just need to STOP all the self-worship, & aggrandizement about themself! Life’s not about wealth, or getting people to think we’re so amazing ( we are NOT ), and things, image, sex, etc.
“…that’s why I bought the Audi…” This lady is BEYOND delusional and ignorant. The MISTAKES her and her husband are making are INTENTIONAL CHOICES, which are the MAIN reason they are struggling…. SMH, the people in those world are so disheartening 😢🤷🏼♂️
By the way, the marriage will end in divorce. Financial hardship will be one of the reasons. If they're too immature to handle car payments, they definitely can't handle a lifetime of commitment.
Apparently it happens enough that King of the Hill basically made an episode about exactly this.... well over 20 years ago lol Hank goes around bragging about talking the salesman down to "sticker price", and Peggy has to sneak around to get an actual deal because.... well that's JUST STUPID!!!!
I was wondering about those interest rates. I took out an extremely small mortgage. It was the smallest mortgage the bank was willing to let you even take out and I got what is considered a high interest rate on it. 5.28%. I can't imagine what this person is doing to be getting interest rates almost three times higher than that
My former friend was similar. Was moaning about debt despite making well into six figures with salary, yet she shopped at Torrid almost every day and bought a fancy SUV, bitching about how it was "so expensive but there's nothing else" like my brother on earth you didn't need to buy a luxury SUV, you don't need to shop at Torrid daily, and yet--
But cmon how tf is she supposed to look ‘cool’ if she’s not completely drowning in debt?!?! Good for you for being smart enough to be a former friend, tho. People like that only suck you into their own personal hell, you can never pull them out.
I worked with a guy that was making $500K a year and he was still living paycheck to paycheck and he was in debt. Spending every penny of it and then some.
There’s literally a 2023 Tahoe off caravana for 58 right now 😂 these are the couples I always talk about . They want to portray a “perfect” lifestyle . Nice house , both spouses have their own vehicles and luxurious ones at that , expensive materialistic things , etc. She might be laughing it up on camera but I promise you the moment she turns that camera off , both of them are fighting , coming up with a plan on how to get rid of those vehicles. My newest vehicle is a 2004 model suv , bought for $1500 cash. I’ve been offered and approved for a 60,000 Ford super duty at the dealership , can I afford it ? Yes . Do I need it ? No .
I bought a new BMW my payments are $297/mo. I grumble every time I make a payment on the thing. Paying over $1400 is insanity. And that vehicle is a base model. Why do people do this?! There's no way. She has to be making this up.
The last car my husband and I bought was a 2015, Hyundai Sonata, and we paid $22,000. We put zero down because we decided to sell his car rather than trade it in. So we had a payment of $405 per month for 5 years. I doubled up when I could, and through being frugal, I paid the car off in 2 years. So we have now been driving that car free and clear for 3 years. That's the way you do it!
I like Toyota. Toyota Yaris Cross hybrid 25k Euro RAV4 hybrid with 218 HP 41k Euro Corolla Touring Sports hybrid 34k Euro GR supra pure, a sports car, with 280 HP and 250 km/h or 155 mph for 53k. It's insane, what this woman payed for her car. I know, US cars often times are expensive, f.e. the Toyota Hilux is stronger, faster and cheaper than the Ford Ranger. The Hilux with 150 HP 170 km/h, so 105 mph, costs 35k, with 204 HP, 180 km/h, so 110 mph, 46k. Ford Ranger basic is 41k with 170 HP, but heavier, so not faster. The version with 205 HP and 180 km/h or 110 mph costs 54k. So US cars are expensive, compared with european and asian cars, if you consider, what you get. But still, with f.e. Toyota, you could get new cars for below 25k, and even higher class cars, sportscars or pickup trucks for 35k - 55k. What this woman payed is insane...
She's behind on car payments, but bet she isn't skipping her tanning, nail and hair appointments 😐 like.... What are you doing? Are people really this DUMB with money? As a bookkeeper I am SCREAMING inside
Don't forget about the fact that those tats probably costed her a couple grand...I just hope that they're living with their parents; I'd probably vomit if I saw what kind of financing she "secured" on a house like that. lol
I watch another RUclipsr who helps people with debt planning and how to manage their income and yes! People are this dumb! As someone who was born in a different country thanks to my parents job! I lived a big chunk of my life both in 1st and 3rd world countries... I've never seen anything like it. Americans (we) have been living the "dream" because everything we do is fantasy! When the pandemic exploded I had 43k on savings and a remote job, and I was panicking! Meanwhile my neighbors lost their job and when Biden decided to print money with those checks they went on vacation 😂 ON VACATION??? During the pandemic and broke! Thanks to Biden checks! Long story short they got evicted! And lost the two cars they had. It was a young couple with no kids but still!! 🤦🏻♂️
You know, there are other ways to get around, bus, train, stuff like that, i don't know what made you think getting a car when you can't afford it was a good idea so i can't bring myself to feel bad for you not gonna lie
@@ikenox5958where did they say they can't afford it? Not liking a $500 payment doesn't mean you can't _technically_ afford it. You're being deliberately obtuse to think it's as simple as that. Some cities do _not_ have efficient public transportation or they're sprawling cities that require long drives for work which would take at least triple the time without a car.
@@that.ll_do_pig crying about a 500$ payment probably means you can't truly afford it and are cutting on alot of other stuff, i'm just assuming that he wouldn't cry about his 500$ payment if he could afford it, just using my brain here
@@ikenox5958I'm sorry but I think if you were using your brain, you wouldn't be taking him literally about "crying every night." 😬 [*Could be wrong and he does cry every night. Just reads like hyperbole IMO]
Babes, BAAAAAABES, A HIGHER APR IS NOT A GOOD THING!!!!! You want the interest to be LOWER!! LOWER as in SMALLER!!! Not BIGGER!!!! I swear she and her husband bought those cars and asked the dealer what the largest APR was and chose that payment plan because the APR was big🤦🏻♀️
My dad bought two cars from his coworker for $6,000 total. He sold the second car. Paid off the 2nd car completely. I paid him $600 for it. and its the best. Even with todays insane $4 a gallon I get a full tank that lasts all month for $30. If there is one thing I learned from my parents. Its that you don't have to pay so much friggin money for a car. Be smart people. its not that hard.
I thought my Jeep Rubicon payment was too high at $671 (financed at 2.7% for 66 months), but $1461 for 84 months at 10% is batshit crazy. If your credit score is that bad, then buy a cheaper car and pay it off quicker to help rebuild your credit. And if your credit score is good, then the dealership in-house financing department robbed you blind with that rate.
And with that it's below the inflation and actually with time you're paying less. Then keeping the cash on the savings account generating some money and it's like financing a car with a negative interest rate. But seriously,when the interest rate is so low financing makes more sense than waiting and saving, as due to inflation when you have the money the car went up in price and you need to spend more
It’s hilarious that this women can still hold up that tone of superiority when she and her husband are literally throwing money away just to impress random people.
@brandimcwhorter9050 I'm not defending her or anything, but the days of 3% apr are LONG gone. Even with the best credit these days you're looking at between 5 and 6% right now for a new car and between 7 and 8% for used. Interest rates have gone insane ever since covid. Home loans used to be in the 2% range and now they're over 7%.
I don't think she's noticed there's more than 1 car dealership in every state. There's more than 1 automobile website on the internet. New car prices range from $15,000-130,000. She didn't wanna take the time to look for a lower priced car or she wouldn't compromise on the car she really wanted. 30k-50k is more reasonable, she could've saved that 34k-54k for something else. I bet that 84k car doesn't give her the best mpg, most space capacity, lower repair costs or cheaper maintenance costs.
I want to buy a new car one day. I will not be buying something thats best petrol range. Or cheapest to service. Ill just buy a manual Subaru or Vw or audi. Ill never get to buy a new car.
Yeah I bought a Mazda for like 30k and its been everything I need a car to be. Every feature you'd want like car play, and zero mechanical issues for years. 84k seems insane.
I bought my first, and thus far only, brand new vehicle in 2015. A Mitsubishi Mirage for $13.8k with a 5 year bumper-to-bumper & 10 year power train warranty. Gets great gas mileage, cheap on insurance, has only needed basic maintenance which I do myself according to the manufacturer's schedule. I will never understand why people want to spend more on a car than I did on my house & land!
As someone with experience in accounting I wouldn't have doubted for a SECOND that she genuinely took out that expensive of a car loan because I've seen so many people who aren't rich do this same thing. It is all about the status of wanting the big new expensive car, and because they don't know shit about money they think having an extremely expensive car loan is cool or normal. People like this might feel proud of that car or truck loan until they try bragging to someone with financial skills, then they (hopefully) realize they made a bad financial decision.
What showed me was how she seems so proud of it. Like the tone of pride doesn't match the words. "Oh I bet you think he's way worse than I am, well he's not because I bought that one too!" :) Girl, GURL!
It amazes me how far people could go if they understood basic financial literacy! If you don’t know the difference difference between good debt and bad debt, you’re off to a bad start! Reminds me of that video with the girl whose parents gave her a credit card with an $8000 limit and the girl was so “TikTarded” she paying for all her friends stuff when they went out accumulating $4000 in debt only to call her mum and brag because she didn’t understand what debt was! She thought she had $4000 in credits or some shit like that!
People used to be embarrassed to admit that they had been taken advantage of a/o that they had done something stupid, but in recent years it appears that people talk about it as a badge of honor. Smh! Call me whatever, but I would never ever buy a vehicle where my monthly payment was above $500, even though I can clearly afford it. And that would be stretching it.
My husband and I have 1 mortgage payment left on our tiny home, both of our used vehicles are paid for (his was free, mine was not that expensive and I paid for it in cash). We don't have credit cards because if we can't afford to pay for it, we don't buy it and neither one of us have any desire to pay more for something because of the added fees and interest that come with using credit cards. We own a small business but don't make a whole lot of money, we just don't believe in living beyond our means, and could care less about impressing anyone. The only opinions that matter to us, are each others.
Good for you! That's the way to live; stay out debt. Once your house and cars are paid for and you have no credit card debt it's amazing how little it takes to live, how much pressure is off your back. The narrator of this story talking about how to manage financing just encourages people to get into debt.

If you are financially responsible credit cards are actually a benefit for you though. Builds credit and you can technically make money off of it. So long as you pay off your credit card every money, you won’t owe anything, and get the like 2% back on your purchases.
@@Justabottleofwater All a good credit score does is give you opportunities to get much deeper in debt, it's a trap. 2% back? 25% might maybe be worth it otherwise it's yet another trap to get you to spend more money on credit. The 2% thing, the airline miles, the credit score itself, etc. are all traps to keep huge numbers of people in debt from birth to death and for me that's a big NO. Being in constant never ending debt is like a gambling addiction or drug addiction to huge numbers of people except this addiction is massively promoted by every industry and by government itself. All a high credit score does is set you up for higher amounts of debt which is deeper trouble.
Basic financial literacy should be a requirement for graduating from high school. Seriously, when I was in the army a private bought a car at 17%. The company commander was so pissed off when he found out he personally went to the dealership and forced the salesman to lower it to 8%. For real, car buying is not this difficult.
Not directly, no. But they can talk you into one loan term or another because their only questions are “how much can you spend a month?” Then they extend the loan until the number looks okay and long terms are always higher interest.
You are right, but the government does not want it's citizens to be financially literate. The government would love it if our entire country did what this woman did also bought a 550,000 house and add in 550,000 in student loans as well. Then come out and protest that your broke and grant them more power.
I knew a guy that roped himself into 53% interest on a old focus. Our CPO managed to get him out of it, but he had set himself up for $16000 in payments on a $5000 car when $16000 would almost get you a new car at that time.
2021 my car was totaled and I was dumb. I had never bought a car before (my dad gave me my other car) I walked into a used car dealership and with only 1k down I left in a 2011 Corolla SE. I didn't know or understand anything about the loan or anything I just knew I was paying 351 every 2 weeks for 4 years. To top things off the car had an oil leak that 3 different mechanics told me couldn't be fixed unless I replaced the motor. The transmission was fucked up sometimes not shifting gears on the high end leaving me to go no faster than 50. The only reason I'm ever talking about this here is that it's online.
@@eSkilliam normally but this one was a buy back. I wasn't told of this when I bought it. I just needed a car and thought 15k miles for a 10 year old car sounded good. The car also has less important issues, radio couldn't pick up a station at all, when my phone was plugged in I only had sound from one speaker, the inside lights worked half the time, and 6 months after buying the thing the dash lights went out. All of these things started shortly after buying the car. I test drove the thing and all seemed well enough. I just didn't know better I guess. I traded it to CarMax last month and got a 2021 Corolla for 25k with their warranty and service plan. 48 months of payments and still factory warranty as well. I learned a big lesson.
It reminds me of one of my former bosses. Here they were complaining to me, someone circling poverty their entire life, about their money problems but it was never about important stuff, it was like this. He was paying 1K a month on his truck and complained the entire time. She would trade in for new cars literally every year I worked there. They wasted thousands on fancy shutters, resodding their lawn, 300 dollar grocery runs, just thr epitome of trying to be upper middle class...all whilst telling me they barely get by. People really are deluded.
My friend is a single mom, her child is autistic and she is trying to get disability only because baby daddy stopped child support. I help her out time to time and I’m disabled as well. Her aunt will call and cry about the craziest things, she refuses to let her adult children off the cord and she will call saying how much they need. Yet, she will be like, “oh we over 8000 property tax, I don’t know what to do.” Next day she buys her 14 year old 400$ shoes. Like that’s my rent… my friend lives on 280 and food stamps a month just fine. It’s all on her because it’s not like the kid needs these shoes… People are so messed up, say they poor but get DoorDash everyday and buy stuff all the time. Like do people think we believe them?
@@kampiestarz It's wild how much people waste and think it's normal. I've spent a lot of years living off less thank 10k a year and then just had to scrape more if I needed things. It's way crazier to spend thousands a month on luxury than it is to be broke.

Say you wanted to finance $300,000 on a house with a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage at 8%. You would end up having paid $792,360 total at the end of thirty years. That's $492K in interest going to the bank. (I'm leaving out loan origination fees to be nice.) I'm pretty sure they still don't teach about loans or amortization in high school. They really should. Get yerself a loan amortization table booklet. Whenever you finance something look up the total cost and ask yourself whether that seems palletable. This should cure you of ever wanting to finance anything.
Yeah 8% is kinda high. Wait for it to come down a bit. But buying is better than renting. My house has appreciated more than I have paid in interest. So there are more things to take into account than just interest payments on a house. If you have good credit you should get a good interest rate and then do much better things with your cash. Being afraid of debt is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Just like he said in the video knowing how to use credit and debt is what rich people do to get the most out of their money.
April is Financial Literacy Month BTW! But I cannot get over how irresponsible this person is, and her husband… if she HAD $84K in cash that she saved to drop on the car with no or little payment, that’s one thing. No one would care, it’s their money. It’s the fact that they CAN’T afford it that’s maddening. Don’t be a slave to your creditors people! She needs Jesus and Dave Ramsay. SELL THE CAR and get a vehicle you can afford!
Nah, keep the car and sell the trucks. Then again, wait until she gets the bill for the Audi after the mechanic has to go into FSP for an oil change. lol
Dave Ramsay talks straight out of his ass most of the time. I was forced to take a "financial" class in my senior year of high school and instead of my teacher doing her job, she made us do his dumb little program and that class honestly pissed me off because the things that he talked about doing is completely unrealistic for younger millennials and Gen Z to accomplish because 2024 is not 1984.
The fact she financed for 7 YEARS at 10% at 84K is INSANE and STUPID. My wife needed a new vehicle while she finished her LVN and worked full time. So we traded in her 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL with 140K mileage (that started having electrical issues finally) for A NEW 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL two weeks ago... $41K. I paid CASH because I was fortunate enough to have savings over the years which got rid of a car payment and she has a reliable, very loaded car that has a warranty. No reason to spend $80K+ on any new vehicle.
I had a 2009 until I got a 2021. That 2009 was a great car and never had issues. The only thing that was ever changed on. It was tires oil/filter and a starter. That’s it.
The 2024 at 37,500 msrp, you traded in a 2008, kelley blue book says its worth like 5k, AND you paid cash... you overpaid by about 10k. If you told them you could pay cash at 27k and then negotiated i think you would've saved yourself more. When you come to table with the ability to pay cash you have wayyy more negotiating power to get the price down.
@@noosy530I’m guessing since he paid cash he might be talking about the price + tax, title, freight and license fees . I don’t think someone who kept a 2008 Santa Fe till know would get ripped off. Also AWD is like +1,800 and it’s an option many get. Lots of other options could’ve been added too.
@@unropednope4644Are you suggesting they are making this up... For what reason, and how? $275K is a lot, yes, but it's between two people, it certainly wouldn't put you in "too good to be on RUclips" territory. I know people who make that by themselves. And yes, most of those people are very good with money so a lot of them buy stuff like a 2012 Camry or something.
My wife and I are in the same salary range, plus we own about 3 million in real estate, most of that is rentals, which adds another 120'ish a year. I drive a 2009 Kia Sportage and my wife drives a 2004 Subaru Forester. She's a director at an electronics manufacturing company and I'm an engineer at a power utility. We're both in our late 40's. Among our friends we're pretty average in terms of income and assets but most of our friends we met through schooling or our careers and are close to the same age. So that salary region is pretty normal for some people. That being said, I'm with the original poster, financing a car purchase if it's not for a business is idiotic. I have primarily driven cheap used Japanese cars my whole life, and I keep them until the wheels fall off!
Doing deliveries in upscale neighborhoods its common (but still surprising & inspiring) to see old cars in the garages & driveways of million dollar homes.
I can't believe anyone would purchase a $90K vehicle without making a big down payment, and being absolutely positive that you will be able to make the payments for it. I also can't believe anyone would post this on social media. My God.
I've never seen someone so proud of spending 3 grand a month in car payments, thats like someone who lives in NY bragging that they mortgage is only 5,000 a month. I do not understand why she's so happy , I am confundled
These are the kind of people that have tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, yet go on 2-3 vacations a year. I've known so many people like this. It blows my mind how people can live with that kind of debt, and just not care.
I can't fathom having $3,000 extra per month to put towards car payments. My husband and I have one vehicle and recently totaled our car. Our car payments went from $171 to $250 per month and our car insurance went up $30 per month, so $100 more in all. I literally cried because who wants to pay more?! But $3,000?!? I could do so much with that kind of money. And I definitely wouldn't be spending it on cars.
Priorities are a funny thing. This is why financial literacy must be mandatory taught in high school. But besides her severe errors with money, Why is she sharing her private family business on the internet?
They are veneers. Because they have to basically destroy your teeth by drilling them down. And veneers only last about 10 years. So by the time she pays off these teeth, she’s going to need another set. She’ll be spending $25,000 every 10 years. She could have paid $19.99 for a box of Crest White Strips.
My wifes friend is like this. Spends so much money on her vehicles that she can barely pay her rent. And I just found out my wife has been helping her pay the rent. Which pissed me off. Her friends stupidity shouldn't be our issue.
That's why my husband and I pay up front for anything we purchase. We save and buy, paying every dime at once. His truck and my car, OURS! Our two dirt bikes, OURS!

I’m in finance. I promise you this lady’s story is not unique. Nothing makes me do the biggest “wtf” then seeing someone making a payment for a 2018-2019 car for over 1000 a month
Jesus! I’m paying $400 a month for my SUV, because a few years ago I decided I could afford it. Fast forward to now, and I absolutely regret this decision. It’s a fine car, and while I can comfortably afford it, it still feels like too much for a damn car. I just CANNOT wrap my head around paying $1k+ per vehicle, every single month😭

She has the same look on her face in all three videos, she gets botox so she looks this way sleeping. She's saying these are bad decisions and she's trying to get debt free but they have issues, they are upside down on the loans, each car has small body damage thay effects the resale value. She bought the audi in cash so thay once the Tahoe was gone she would have no car payment, she didn't use the cash to pay down thw principal because she thought at the time she could break even on the Tahoe as it had no body damage at the time. They don't know what to do about the truck yet as it seems they are to far underwater to fix that. They are educating themselves to make thier situation better and I don't understand how this guy got thier intent so wrong. You guys need to stop believing everything you hear and investigate for yourself. Yes she looks like a bimbo, yes they made dumb decisions and some flack should be given for that but they aren't humble bragging, her face just looks like that. She'd have the same dumb look on her face if she was being thrown out of an airplane or accepting a promotion.

They have income coming from elsewhere, "inheritance", but have bad credit scores because they were never good with money. They can afford those vehicles but not from their own income.
@@monorail4252 Sure, but when you can afford something you usually pay the bill on time. Maybe a few days late, but who lets a bill they can pay sit for over 2 weeks? Why would anyone willingly do that? She was also talking about letting one of the vehicles get repossessed. They’re in debt, they can’t afford these payments. Edit: it shows in the video that her payment is 17 days past due.
Using other people’s money to get ahead is smart, if you are smart enough and most importantly disciplined enough to do so. These two are all about how they look and are living way beyond their means to impress others.

Only time I did take out a loan on a car was to build credit. But it was like 220 bucks a month. And paid if off after 2 years. Ya if you can just pay off the car or take out the load for the lowest interest rate possible
Right. We have always paid cash and have actually sold every vehicle for about $1,000 more than we bought it for after about 5yrs. We continue to slowly upgrade and always pay cash.
15 years ago i bought a used '98 hyundai exel for $1500. in all that time, the only major costs have been a new set of tyres and an alternator . does it turn heads or impress the ladies? no. would i drive it cross country through the australian outback? no. but its been a great daily driver getting me to and from work for essentially no cost.
When you see that new car and want to know if you can afford it do this. Check what the payment is per month for a 36 month loan and then check if that amount is at or under 10% of your monthly take home income. If the payment is 10% or less of your monthly take home then yes, you can afford it if your other finances are also in order. For some reason the majority of people will just ignore this but to each their own.

1:06 The devil is in the details. It's an 84-month repayment term, but it doesn't end until June 2029, which means she didn't make her first payment until July 2022. So she had an $84k loan from December 2021 that continued to gather interest for six months before she made a single payment. At 10.2%, that's an additional $4,300 added to the principal. Now add to this that she's only made about 20 payments (not 3 years as she was claiming) and you start to understand why the balance is still $74k.
I was trying to understand why dropped so low..... cheers

I actually wanna say this may not be the case. My interest is so high on my 2016 dodge caravan, I paid faithfully on time for four years, when online to see what I needed to do to pay it off early, I still had 3 additional years, beachside I had to make an addition principle payment every month to have had it paid off in the 60 months I was to. Capital o\One for ya. This isn’t the case for every loan but just wanted to give my two cents. Also not justifying this ding bat at all. I was mad about paying 19K for my van.

This woman is a complete airhead. Let the truck get repossessed? Sure, not only ruin your credit but that truck will be sold at auction for probably less than you'd get selling it yourself. Plus, whatever the difference is between the auction sale and what you still owe on it, you're still liable for. I don't know what these two do for a living but whatever it is doesn't require much in the way of critical thinking.
But they got the loans so they must have good income or are banks/financing companies giving out loans like they did before the financial crisis? Do these people save anything for retirement?
Temu Sandra Bullock here has to either be humble bragging or her and her husband are imbeciles and shouldn't possess a credit card and maybe avoid going to the bank for more loans they cannot afford
They will happily lease or finance a vehicle to someone that will fumble it, then it comes back as a used inventory. They will sell the same car over and over again to people who cant afford it, collecting from each person and in the end still getting the vehicle back.
Probably government jobs. They wouldn’t make it in the private sector jungle
Yes! You still owe the bank the full loan amount. You owe that much the moment you sign the paperwork. Giving back the vehicle doesn't remove the total $130K obligation, it only reduces it by the auction amount, which might be $20K if you're lucky. She would likley still owe the bank $90-$100K if she had the Tahoe repossessed. And the bank will take that Audi from her in payment.
Her problem isn't the giant payment, it's her obvious obsession with appearances. Veneers, tan, ink and pretty obvious cosmetic surgery for example. Probably still paying that off too. Insecurities and wrong priorities...
How else would she persuade the affairs she has to sleep with her 😂

Ford Ranger basic is 41k with 170 HP, but heavier, so not faster. The version with 205 HP and 180 km/h or 110 mph costs 54k.
So US cars are expensive, compared with european and asian cars, if you consider, what you get. But still, with f.e. Toyota, you could get new cars for below 25k, and even higher class cars, sportscars or pickup trucks for 35k - 55k. What this woman payed is insane...

I thought my Jeep Rubicon payment was too high at $671 (financed at 2.7% for 66 months), but $1461 for 84 months at 10% is batshit crazy. If your credit score is that bad, then buy a cheaper car and pay it off quicker to help rebuild your credit. And if your credit score is good, then the dealership in-house financing department robbed you blind with that rate.
0% chance She has good credit
And with that it's below the inflation and actually with time you're paying less.
Then keeping the cash on the savings account generating some money and it's like financing a car with a negative interest rate.
But seriously,when the interest rate is so low financing makes more sense than waiting and saving, as due to inflation when you have the money the car went up in price and you need to spend more

Yeah I bought a Mazda for like 30k and its been everything I need a car to be. Every feature you'd want like car play, and zero mechanical issues for years. 84k seems insane.
I bought my first, and thus far only, brand new vehicle in 2015. A Mitsubishi Mirage for $13.8k with a 5 year bumper-to-bumper & 10 year power train warranty. Gets great gas mileage, cheap on insurance, has only needed basic maintenance which I do myself according to the manufacturer's schedule. I will never understand why people want to spend more on a car than I did on my house & land!
Me with a 2011 Civic Si and no issues to this day.
As someone with experience in accounting I wouldn't have doubted for a SECOND that she genuinely took out that expensive of a car loan because I've seen so many people who aren't rich do this same thing. It is all about the status of wanting the big new expensive car, and because they don't know shit about money they think having an extremely expensive car loan is cool or normal. People like this might feel proud of that car or truck loan until they try bragging to someone with financial skills, then they (hopefully) realize they made a bad financial decision.
When they end up filing a chapter seven they’ll realize their ways or a 13.
What showed me was how she seems so proud of it. Like the tone of pride doesn't match the words.
"Oh I bet you think he's way worse than I am, well he's not because I bought that one too!" :)
Girl, GURL!
It amazes me how far people could go if they understood basic financial literacy! If you don’t know the difference difference between good debt and bad debt, you’re off to a bad start! Reminds me of that video with the girl whose parents gave her a credit card with an $8000 limit and the girl was so “TikTarded” she paying for all her friends stuff when they went out accumulating $4000 in debt only to call her mum and brag because she didn’t understand what debt was! She thought she had $4000 in credits or some shit like that!
christ you can just HEAR the snobbiness in her voice its crazy
You can see it in her face.
and the trashiness
That’s not snobbiness that’s stupid you’re hearing.
And it’s funnier cause how can u be so snobby but in that much debt like she is in the upside down world literally
She be so snobby not you
People used to be embarrassed to admit that they had been taken advantage of a/o that they had done something stupid, but in recent years it appears that people talk about it as a badge of honor. Smh!
Call me whatever, but I would never ever buy a vehicle where my monthly payment was above $500, even though I can clearly afford it. And that would be stretching it.
My husband and I have 1 mortgage payment left on our tiny home, both of our used vehicles are paid for (his was free, mine was not that expensive and I paid for it in cash). We don't have credit cards because if we can't afford to pay for it, we don't buy it and neither one of us have any desire to pay more for something because of the added fees and interest that come with using credit cards.
We own a small business but don't make a whole lot of money, we just don't believe in living beyond our means, and could care less about impressing anyone. The only opinions that matter to us, are each others.
Good for you! That's the way to live; stay out debt. Once your house and cars are paid for and you have no credit card debt it's amazing how little it takes to live, how much pressure is off your back. The narrator of this story talking about how to manage financing just encourages people to get into debt.

There’s always that person that has to brag there’s always this type of comment on videos of peoples financial woes
If you are financially responsible credit cards are actually a benefit for you though. Builds credit and you can technically make money off of it. So long as you pay off your credit card every money, you won’t owe anything, and get the like 2% back on your purchases.
@@Justabottleofwater All a good credit score does is give you opportunities to get much deeper in debt, it's a trap. 2% back? 25% might maybe be worth it otherwise it's yet another trap to get you to spend more money on credit. The 2% thing, the airline miles, the credit score itself, etc. are all traps to keep huge numbers of people in debt from birth to death and for me that's a big NO. Being in constant never ending debt is like a gambling addiction or drug addiction to huge numbers of people except this addiction is massively promoted by every industry and by government itself. All a high credit score does is set you up for higher amounts of debt which is deeper trouble.
And she hasn't mentioned insurance or dare I say...gas for those TWO TRUCKS! 🤦🏿♂️
Basic financial literacy should be a requirement for graduating from high school.
Seriously, when I was in the army a private bought a car at 17%. The company commander was so pissed off when he found out he personally went to the dealership and forced the salesman to lower it to 8%.
For real, car buying is not this difficult.
Car salesmen don't decide what your interest rate is.
Not directly, no. But they can talk you into one loan term or another because their only questions are “how much can you spend a month?” Then they extend the loan until the number looks okay and long terms are always higher interest.
Major Discount, reporting for duty
Exactly. I have a new Tahoe and my interest isn’t that high but we have good credit and I would never sign up at 10% interest.
You are right, but the government does not want it's citizens to be financially literate. The government would love it if our entire country did what this woman did also bought a 550,000 house and add in 550,000 in student loans as well. Then come out and protest that your broke and grant them more power.
Girl, you and your husband could have bought a house with the money you threw into those cars. 😅
Bought a house and put savings accounts for the kids for college and still have money left over
Electric Scooters > Expensive Cars with high insurance, road tax,
The fact it starts off with her hitting a trash can perfectly sums up the stereotypes
To pay $138K on a Tahoe is insane. Just get a Cadillac at that point.
I knew a guy that roped himself into 53% interest on a old focus. Our CPO managed to get him out of it, but he had set himself up for $16000 in payments on a $5000 car when $16000 would almost get you a new car at that time.
WHAT?! That sounds illegal 😂 53%?!
@@Slim_T_ODB just off the navy base in VA. There’s no cap so they trick young sailors into stupid moves. But this guy wasn’t young 😄
2021 my car was totaled and I was dumb. I had never bought a car before (my dad gave me my other car) I walked into a used car dealership and with only 1k down I left in a 2011 Corolla SE. I didn't know or understand anything about the loan or anything I just knew I was paying 351 every 2 weeks for 4 years.
To top things off the car had an oil leak that 3 different mechanics told me couldn't be fixed unless I replaced the motor. The transmission was fucked up sometimes not shifting gears on the high end leaving me to go no faster than 50.
The only reason I'm ever talking about this here is that it's online.
@@Stephanie_Rose those are normally really good cars
@@eSkilliam normally but this one was a buy back. I wasn't told of this when I bought it. I just needed a car and thought 15k miles for a 10 year old car sounded good. The car also has less important issues, radio couldn't pick up a station at all, when my phone was plugged in I only had sound from one speaker, the inside lights worked half the time, and 6 months after buying the thing the dash lights went out. All of these things started shortly after buying the car. I test drove the thing and all seemed well enough. I just didn't know better I guess. I traded it to CarMax last month and got a 2021 Corolla for 25k with their warranty and service plan. 48 months of payments and still factory warranty as well. I learned a big lesson.
It reminds me of one of my former bosses. Here they were complaining to me, someone circling poverty their entire life, about their money problems but it was never about important stuff, it was like this. He was paying 1K a month on his truck and complained the entire time. She would trade in for new cars literally every year I worked there. They wasted thousands on fancy shutters, resodding their lawn, 300 dollar grocery runs, just thr epitome of trying to be upper middle class...all whilst telling me they barely get by. People really are deluded.
Whats even more insane is a huge amount of people in surburban live like this and complain about how everything is too expensive
My friend is a single mom, her child is autistic and she is trying to get disability only because baby daddy stopped child support. I help her out time to time and I’m disabled as well.
Her aunt will call and cry about the craziest things, she refuses to let her adult children off the cord and she will call saying how much they need. Yet, she will be like, “oh we over 8000 property tax, I don’t know what to do.” Next day she buys her 14 year old 400$ shoes. Like that’s my rent… my friend lives on 280 and food stamps a month just fine. It’s all on her because it’s not like the kid needs these shoes…
People are so messed up, say they poor but get DoorDash everyday and buy stuff all the time. Like do people think we believe them?
@@kampiestarz It's wild how much people waste and think it's normal. I've spent a lot of years living off less thank 10k a year and then just had to scrape more if I needed things. It's way crazier to spend thousands a month on luxury than it is to be broke.

@@LoFiAxolotl I think in America in lots of places it is so essential to do anything that it becomes important. You run out of Bread or milk there isn’t a little shop you can walk to and there isn’t even sidewalks in some olaces
How can she say that with such a cheerful expression. Most people would be in utter disbelief, wearing their existential horror on their face.
Say you wanted to finance $300,000 on a house with a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage at 8%. You would end up having paid $792,360 total at the end of thirty years. That's $492K in interest going to the bank. (I'm leaving out loan origination fees to be nice.) I'm pretty sure they still don't teach about loans or amortization in high school. They really should.
Get yerself a loan amortization table booklet. Whenever you finance something look up the total cost and ask yourself whether that seems palletable. This should cure you of ever wanting to finance anything.
Yeah 8% is kinda high. Wait for it to come down a bit. But buying is better than renting. My house has appreciated more than I have paid in interest. So there are more things to take into account than just interest payments on a house. If you have good credit you should get a good interest rate and then do much better things with your cash. Being afraid of debt is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Just like he said in the video knowing how to use credit and debt is what rich people do to get the most out of their money.
they teach it at school now at least at mine and it was shocking to see that you end up paying more..
Thank you for this video. It DID make me feel a lot better about my financial situation.

I rarely see someone struggle so hard to prove to strangers that they are an idiot.
April is Financial Literacy Month BTW!
But I cannot get over how irresponsible this person is, and her husband… if she HAD $84K in cash that she saved to drop on the car with no or little payment, that’s one thing. No one would care, it’s their money. It’s the fact that they CAN’T afford it that’s maddening. Don’t be a slave to your creditors people! She needs Jesus and Dave Ramsay. SELL THE CAR and get a vehicle you can afford!
Nah, keep the car and sell the trucks. Then again, wait until she gets the bill for the Audi after the mechanic has to go into FSP for an oil change. lol
Dave Ramsay talks straight out of his ass most of the time. I was forced to take a "financial" class in my senior year of high school and instead of my teacher doing her job, she made us do his dumb little program and that class honestly pissed me off because the things that he talked about doing is completely unrealistic for younger millennials and Gen Z to accomplish because 2024 is not 1984.
The fact she financed for 7 YEARS at 10% at 84K is INSANE and STUPID.
My wife needed a new vehicle while she finished her LVN and worked full time. So we traded in her 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL with 140K mileage (that started having electrical issues finally) for A NEW 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL two weeks ago... $41K. I paid CASH because I was fortunate enough to have savings over the years which got rid of a car payment and she has a reliable, very loaded car that has a warranty.
No reason to spend $80K+ on any new vehicle.
I had a 2009 until I got a 2021. That 2009 was a great car and never had issues. The only thing that was ever changed on. It was tires oil/filter and a starter. That’s it.
Online says that car is worth 37500 - you might have been ripped off with your trade-in
The 2024 at 37,500 msrp, you traded in a 2008, kelley blue book says its worth like 5k, AND you paid cash... you overpaid by about 10k. If you told them you could pay cash at 27k and then negotiated i think you would've saved yourself more. When you come to table with the ability to pay cash you have wayyy more negotiating power to get the price down.
And no reason to ever buy a new vehicle. Just buy a decent 2nd hand vehicle.
@@noosy530I’m guessing since he paid cash he might be talking about the price + tax, title, freight and license fees . I don’t think someone who kept a 2008 Santa Fe till know would get ripped off. Also AWD is like +1,800 and it’s an option many get. Lots of other options could’ve been added too.
Husband and I make $275k/year. I drive a 2009 Camry, fully paid off, 130k miles. I would never, ever pay this much for a car.
Yeah sure😂
@@unropednope4644Are you suggesting they are making this up... For what reason, and how? $275K is a lot, yes, but it's between two people, it certainly wouldn't put you in "too good to be on RUclips" territory. I know people who make that by themselves. And yes, most of those people are very good with money so a lot of them buy stuff like a 2012 Camry or something.
My wife and I are in the same salary range, plus we own about 3 million in real estate, most of that is rentals, which adds another 120'ish a year. I drive a 2009 Kia Sportage and my wife drives a 2004 Subaru Forester. She's a director at an electronics manufacturing company and I'm an engineer at a power utility. We're both in our late 40's. Among our friends we're pretty average in terms of income and assets but most of our friends we met through schooling or our careers and are close to the same age. So that salary region is pretty normal for some people.
That being said, I'm with the original poster, financing a car purchase if it's not for a business is idiotic. I have primarily driven cheap used Japanese cars my whole life, and I keep them until the wheels fall off!
I'm a single guy in the oilfields making ~$130k and I drive a 2006 dakota.
Doing deliveries in upscale neighborhoods its common (but still surprising & inspiring) to see old cars in the garages & driveways of million dollar homes.
I can't believe anyone would purchase a $90K vehicle without making a big down payment, and being absolutely positive that you will be able to make the payments for it. I also can't believe anyone would post this on social media. My God.

They need to teach financial literacy in school. I'm in my 30s and am constantly pissed with all the things I'm expected to know and just don't.
I can't fathom having $3,000 extra per month to put towards car payments. My husband and I have one vehicle and recently totaled our car. Our car payments went from $171 to $250 per month and our car insurance went up $30 per month, so $100 more in all. I literally cried because who wants to pay more?! But $3,000?!? I could do so much with that kind of money. And I definitely wouldn't be spending it on cars.
Priorities are a funny thing. This is why financial literacy must be mandatory taught in high school. But besides her severe errors with money, Why is she sharing her private family business on the internet?

They are veneers. Because they have to basically destroy your teeth by drilling them down. And veneers only last about 10 years. So by the time she pays off these teeth, she’s going to need another set. She’ll be spending $25,000 every 10 years. She could have paid $19.99 for a box of Crest White Strips.

She isn't bragging, she says these are bad things. I don't normally defend these types but I watched the full videos. She has the same look on her face in all three videos, she gets botox so she looks this way sleeping. She's saying these are bad decisions and she's trying to get debt free but they have issues, they are upside down on the loans, each car has small body damage thay effects the resale value. She bought the audi in cash so thay once the Tahoe was gone she would have no car payment, she didn't use the cash to pay down thw principal because she thought at the time she could break even on the Tahoe as it had no body damage at the time. They don't know what to do about the truck yet as it seems they are to far underwater to fix that. They are educating themselves to make thier situation better and I don't understand how this guy got thier intent so wrong.

Edit: it shows in the video that her payment is 17 days past due.
Only people with bad credit get trash car loans. Trash credit means the bank makes you get a newer vehicle so when it gets repoed, they can sell it

My husband and I have never taken a loan out for a vehicle. We always pay cash. Vehicles lose value SO fast it's not worth it.
Only time I did take out a loan on a car was to build credit. But it was like 220 bucks a month. And paid if off after 2 years. Ya if you can just pay off the car or take out the load for the lowest interest rate possible
Yes I disagree with this guys advice on not paying cash for a car if you can they depreciate so fast adding interest makes a bigger loss
Right. We have always paid cash and have actually sold every vehicle for about $1,000 more than we bought it for after about 5yrs. We continue to slowly upgrade and always pay cash.
15 years ago i bought a used '98 hyundai exel for $1500. in all that time, the only major costs have been a new set of tyres and an alternator .
does it turn heads or impress the ladies? no. would i drive it cross country through the australian outback? no. but its been a great daily driver getting me to and from work for essentially no cost.
I always finance, but come out ahead...how is this possible? Understanding the benefits of strategic debt and investing helps! 😊
When you see that new car and want to know if you can afford it do this. Check what the payment is per month for a 36 month loan and then check if that amount is at or under 10% of your monthly take home income. If the payment is 10% or less of your monthly take home then yes, you can afford it if your other finances are also in order. For some reason the majority of people will just ignore this but to each their own.
That's actually very good advice
