People, take care of your business! Life comes at you fast!

I was talking to a co-worker last week, and she was telling me about her struggles. First of all, her oldest hates his dad, but his dad won't let him leave, because Florida law allows him to get child support. So, she's getting killed with that. Then she told me about having all of these subscriptions like HBO+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc. I told her she need to get rid of them, but she doesn't want to let them go. She works 2 jobs, and she just got a new car with payments of $987+/mo for 60 months. This is fucking insane!!! I gave her a :eek2:, and she asked me how much my note was, and I told her I didn't have one. My shit's paid off. Then she asked me how what was paying before the payoff, and I told her $427/mo for 24 months, and she hit me with a :eek2:. Then she said, "My credit score is around 500 or so, but I don't feed into to that construct.". I told her whether she feeds into it or not, it's killing her pockets and making her pay over $987 for a base level Traverse for 60 months. Today, she got fired from our company. She missed a lot of days. Now, she's in a fucked up position. She's too old to be in the predicament, and I'm guessing so are we. Guys, I know we make the "BGOL balling jokes", a lot of us are not balling, I know I ain't, but don't be in this position! She's in her early 40s, and this is not a good look!
I hear what her mouth say but what her mouth do?

We all can get better at financial literacy.

There's a lot of lessons other people learn as toddlers that we have to learn by trial and error.

And other parents set things up in their kids name or have them learning the family business at an early age.

The head start they get is unbelievable

I got a spreadsheet I created that keeps track of all my bills, credit cards, and paychecks.

I always know where I am financially.

I have found people don't like to face their spending habits because it makes them feel bad.

I had to face this reality and said fuck it.

I'm a weed smoker, so you know that's a bill. I'm spending over 4k a year on that alone. I own it because it's my vice.

However, when we were struggling, I cut that shit out.
 
I'm at a 758 right now. Credit makes no sense on how often it changes.

I paid off a personal loan and my shit dropped 10 points.
I hate to sound like his coworker, but that credit shit ain’t real.

When I was younger, I invested in a shared secured loan and credit card for a substantial amount. And just like that I had “gewd crehdit”.
 
I was wrong. I just checked mine on AMEX & Capitol One. It's 768 now. This is bullshit.

My Capitol One has me at 756. I don't have an AMEX, but my wife does though.

I'm at 15% utilization on my credit. I got 12k left of credit to pay. That'll be greatly reduced by the end of the year.
 
She pays $1000 monthly for a car that isn’t a Rolls Royce? Her note is twice her credit score?

I would wish her the best. I’ll definitely put my credit on lock just by hanging around her.

Unfortunately cars aren't as cheap as they used to be.

Paying off a 40k loan with no interest in 4 years is $833 a month. Now imagine the cost with factoring in financing and credit score.
 
This is an AMERICAN story where she's in her 40's and hasn't learned one fucking thing yet and it might be too late for her like it is for many other AMERICANS who don't separate want and a need.....she wants cable,she wants that car and that high ass payment and clearly she didn't want that job or she wouldn't of called in so much.

does she have a youtube channel? cause everyone an their mommas have one.....
 
I think they’re doing 8 year loans now.

Yes you're right, they can do 8 or r 10 depending on your car, but...

The woman that this thread's about has a 5 year loan paying $987 a month. For 60 months. That's 60k over the life of the loan.

In other words, the 40k or so that the car that she bought costs without interest is $667 a month to pay off 40k over 60 months.

So in short, she's paying an extra $300 a month in finance charges because of her credit. So to her credit is

You could be fucking a bitch down on her luck for Netflix and 8 piece nuggets from Chik-Fil-A (12 count is outta the question) and you're on BGOL whining about the chick's life. :smh:

Do you think she’s going to pay that money for the entirety of the loan? She’s not going to last 13 months. That car will be repossessed and I’m going to presume Uncle Chuck is going to help her out with the down payment for a new vehicle.
 
Common sense isn't very common with a lot of folks today. Some people just don't know how to manage their money (and their lives). Good decision making is the key to living well. Life is about the decisions you make. Some people are just pretty good at making bad decisions. We have to be wise when making decisions in 2022.

Perception and perspective is everything. @woodchuck made this thread to promote people to do better.

And also to help educate those around us to do better, but there's always a negative nigga in the bunch that just doesn't fucking get it.

I've got an idea

Have you ever the luxury of given financial advice from people that are usually in financial binds?

It’s the most weirdest thing you can experience. But I’m a humble guy and I heed their warning. Last thing I want is to hear I told you so from a person like that.
 
Got a coworker like her except she is 54 and still fine as hell. When she first got hired I was on it. Then I learned about her finances and then quickly went into the friend zone. She's good peeps but she is not good with money.
Do you know how many homeless women we are going to see in the next 20-30 years.

Bro, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Nobody throwing no lifelines. Ain’t nobody coming to save YOU. Save yourself. If you keep doing dumb shit and won’t grow the fuck up, lay in the bed you made for yourself or take a dirt nap. Forever. She good from what I see. Ain’t no priority on getting better. You ain’t doing it for me, do it for YOU or live a miserable existence. Im done.
