Yes, bud.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so now. Okay, not speaking incorrect.
Dom
Cannabis.
Caleb Hammer
You're at the counter. Are you at the counter? Is that it? You're just at the counter? You're a counter person?
Dom
You're a cashier? Yes, cashier.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Yeah. What are you paid?
Dom
18 an hour.
Caleb Hammer
That's a cashier in L. A. Okay. Yeah. Sounds like much more than it actually is.
Dom
Yeah, but tips. I know. I guess the tips always help. I think every month I get at least 1300 extra cash. And then we also get debit tips. Yeah, debit tips. I haven't like counted how much I.
Caleb Hammer
Get monthly, but, you know, has your account per month. What is your answers?
Dom
My account?
Caleb Hammer
What. What hits your account for a month?
Dom
A month with the cash and everything?
Caleb Hammer
Sure. Total. Let's go total.
Dom
Like 4 to 5k.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Again, it is a more expensive city. We'll say 4,500. So not 54,000 hours a year. You know, there's definitely some situations where we can make that stress for sure. Roommate situation. Okay. Okay. Okay. So why are we here? What's going on with You. That ain't. That ain't bad.
Dom
Well, I have a lot of debt.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Why?
Dom
When I went to college.
Caleb Hammer
I don't think these are just student loans, lady.
Dom
I know they're not student loans, but it started.
Financial Audit Assistant
You went to college for what?
Caleb Hammer
When did you finish college?
Dom
When? Three years ago.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so what's going on then? Why. Why. Why are we still like. Well, when I went to college three years ago.
Dom
So it's debt. That's three years. And I guess I've been avoiding it until recently.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dom
Because I was scared to see the number.
Caleb Hammer
That doesn't fix anything. I don't. Okay, yeah. You're just telling me you haven't gone into debt at all these last three years?
Dom
No, I mean, it stayed the same. Like, I guess that debt when I started. Am I making sense?
Caleb Hammer
You're making sense. I don't know if I believe it, but you're making sense.
Dom
Okay, so when I went to school, I moved out. And then when I moved out.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you moved out to go to college. That's crazy. Okay.
Dom
Yeah. My aunt was renting out her home, so I wanted to have that whole experience. I almost. Sorry, I'm getting off. I almost moved out. Oh. Dorm. At my college. But that was gonna be expensive. Sharing, what, one dorm room with, like, three, two other girls? I didn't want to do that. So I moved in with my aunt. Not with her, but it was me, my cousin, and then two of my friends. I paid a thousand a month.
Caleb Hammer
This is the top of your head. The top of your nose.
Dom
It's a scar.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, that sucks. Keep going.
Dom
And that's how I got into debt, I guess. I got grants. I thought that money was going to come all the time, but then it stopped.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Okay. You're spending a thousand dollars more than you bring in, so I don't shut the. Up like that. That is not your issue. Obviously. It's been more since college. And this is. Again, I said I didn't trust you. Well, now the numbers have confirmed 20,000 more than you make on a monthly basis.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Also no 5400.
Dom
Or was it right?
Caleb Hammer
Sorry, sorry, sorry. You had a little more than 4,500. You had basically 5,000. Actually very close to it. And you spent basically 5,700.
Dom
I spent that much, yes.
Caleb Hammer
5,900 came in. 5,700 went out. 4,900 came in. 5700 went out.
Dom
Oh, wow. See, I didn't know.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, wow. I. Yeah. Or else you wouldn't have just blamed it on what was happening five, six, seven years ago.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Would you go to school?
Dom
Huh?
Caleb Hammer
When did you leave house to go to school? This crazy thing.
Dom
20.
Caleb Hammer
How old are you? How old are you?
Dom
30. Oh, how old was I?
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dom
27.
Caleb Hammer
What were you doing before then?
Dom
When I was.
Caleb Hammer
What have you been doing with your life?
Dom
I mean, going to school.
Caleb Hammer
You just said you went and moved out for school at 27.
Dom
Well, the.
Caleb Hammer
And now again, now you're just a cashier. So, like, what are you even doing? So you went to community college for a decade?
Dom
No, for two years I did.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so what were you doing from 18 to 25?
Dom
Just working. Doing random cashier jobs, I guess, because I was like hotel clothes, so food.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so six years of cashiering.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
We go to school for multiple years.
Dom
Four.
Caleb Hammer
That is multiple.
Dom
Yeah. That's not a lot. That's like the biggest.
Financial Audit Assistant
No, it's fine. But you went to school.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not criticizing how long you're in school.
Dom
Okay. Okay.
Caleb Hammer
You cashiered for six years. You went to school for four years. And now we're a cashier again.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
The are we doing with our life?
Dom
I want to pay my debt off.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so better job with your degree.
Dom
But even with my job, with my degree, I feel pay is the same. Like even working at schools.
Caleb Hammer
What job would you have?
Dom
Like a sub. Be a sub.
Caleb Hammer
Substitute teacher?
Dom
Yeah, if I get my credentials.
Caleb Hammer
Your degree was not in substitute teaching.
Dom
I know. My degree was in Chicano studies and I got a minor in film.
Caleb Hammer
It was what?
Dom
Chicano studies.
Caleb Hammer
Hold on. I'm real white.
Dom
Are you judging me?
Caleb Hammer
No, I'm white. Very, very white. I am realizing now. So I'm. Chicano is definitely not chicken. I do know that. Okay. I don't know what Chicano is.
Dom
Really. What?
Caleb Hammer
I'm from Michigan. I saw one Mexican my entire life until I moved to Texas.
Dom
Please tell me what you need to go to LA Chicano. It's a culture. Mexican American.
Caleb Hammer
And you got a degree in that?
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
On purpose?
Dom
Kind of. I want to connect.
Financial Audit Assistant
Kind of.
Dom
Yeah. I wanted to connect to my roots and.
Financial Audit Assistant
Cool.
Caleb Hammer
Go to a seminar, go to a cultural landmark or read a book and don't get a degree. That is going to determine the careers you're going into right outside of college that you're then going to likely build for the rest of your life because you're not getting a job in Mexican American studies.
Dom
But I could go back to school.
Hammer Elite Announcer
So to be clear.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
What are you laughing about?
Dom
I'M just laughing.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dom
Because.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Dom
You're making me laugh.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dom
Because it's funny.
Caleb Hammer
What's funny?
Dom
That's how I cope.
Caleb Hammer
So to be clear, we go and get a four year degree so we can go get a four year degree. That's how that works?
Dom
Kind of. I think I did that on purpose to make my family.
Caleb Hammer
You went and got a four year degree so that you could go and get a four year degree after that? Yeah.
Financial Audit Assistant
What's the thought?
Dom
I don't know yet. My. My goal after college was to pay my debt off. So I think that's why I'm.
Caleb Hammer
Which is why we spend more money than we bring it on a monthly basis. What the talking about?
Dom
I didn't notice because I was avoiding it until what now?
Caleb Hammer
No. You've been out of school for three years. You said your goal after school is to pay your debt off. That's a lie. That's a lie. That. I mean like. What are you talking about? That is objectively incorrect. You did not do this for the last three years to pay your debt off. That is not your goal. That has not been your goal. And now we went to and went to school starting late and that's fine. But you went to school so you could go to school again. Like that doesn't make any sense. What's this next degree we'd be collecting in our infinite collection of degrees and never doing anything in life? Okay. Will it be anything productive or is it gonna be something stupid again?
Dom
Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Caleb Hammer
Are we gonna. Should we get Chinese American culture studies?
Dom
No. Well, I did ethnic studies in my community college, so I did learn other histories.
Caleb Hammer
What a career field.
Dom
But I just don't know my next move now from I guess my degree.
Caleb Hammer
Maybe something that has jobs related to a career.
Dom
I know there's a lot of like.
Caleb Hammer
Non professionals go and get a doctorate and become a teacher of the studies so we can convince more people to go waste their time on a useless degree.
Dom
I mean it's not useless.
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dom
I mean for me, I guess right now. No.
Caleb Hammer
A degree is to get a job. A degree is for a career field.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You can read a book. You can go to museums to get what you are trying to get cultural enrichment. I'm not opposed to cultural enrichment. You can go without spending the four years and the degree that you are going to use on your resume to try to get your first job outside of college. You can read a book instead of going tens of Thousands of dollars into debt. You can read a book instead of moving out of home culture enrichment is not bad. Yeah, wasting your time, money, and the degree you got on something that is a worthless piece of paper in today's job market, if we're being completely candid. Yeah, you. That is worthless.
Dom
Like there's some jobs that are good for that.
Caleb Hammer
Tell.
Dom
But I just don't.
Caleb Hammer
Tell, please.
Dom
There's nonprofits, there's.
Caleb Hammer
What's the job? What's the job? I don't know.
Dom
I didn't apply to any of them.
Caleb Hammer
You can't even tell me what the job in the career field is?
Dom
Well, there's multiple.
Caleb Hammer
There's not profits that I can get in and make videos I like. I don't know.
Dom
Yeah, but I don't have skills like that.
Caleb Hammer
No, I'm saying you can get like. What the are you talking about? Oh, what is la? What is la. No, I'm saying like I can go name a job that I could go get in. Nonprofit. Just because it's a non profit doesn't mean your job exists somewhere.
Dom
If it's like a Mexican American nonprofit.
Caleb Hammer
American nonprofit Doing what? What's your job?
Dom
I don't know. I only know the job that I.
Caleb Hammer
Have personally, which does not require a degree and definitely not that degree.
Dom
Yeah, it's true.
Caleb Hammer
So you're wasting your life. You have nothing going for you and you've done nothing and you're 30.
Dom
That's not true.
Caleb Hammer
You're right. You haven't done nothing. You've accumulated $46,220 and 4 cents of debt.
Dom
But that's not a lot like other people.
Caleb Hammer
The. Are you talking about like other people?
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Doesn't matter. I'm so over this.
Dom
Don't shut up.
Caleb Hammer
That's why I'm here for a long time. Oh my gosh. You're hitting every catchphrase.
Dom
I messed up. I did. I was uneducated.
Caleb Hammer
How?
Dom
I took out the loans. The subsidized loans. I didn't know I can press buttons off. And then I got it.
Caleb Hammer
Student loans is 8,000 of those. Like, I know, but there's go die. Like that's that. Your student loans are not what the this conversation is about.
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
What?
Financial Audit Assistant
I said this.
Caleb Hammer
Student loans are not what this conversation is about, lady.
Dom
Okay, then what is it about?
Financial Audit Assistant
The rest.
Dom
Which is what?
Caleb Hammer
And you having done nothing productive with your life.
Dom
You mean I have. I work. That's productive.
Caleb Hammer
Listen, and we need service based jobs. Don't get me wrong. But you went and Spent your time and money on a degree that you aren't even considering using because you don't even know what a job with that degree would be. You can't name one job.
Dom
But a key is.
Caleb Hammer
You can't name one job.
Dom
A key is not bad for a UCLA degree.
Caleb Hammer
Sure. Okay.
Dom
I think we should. Other stuff.
Caleb Hammer
Your debt would be better if it was majority student loans, however.
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
30?
Dom
Why?
Caleb Hammer
Cuz student loans are typically lower interest when they're federal loans. When they're federal loans, there are more ways out of them. Except bankruptcy. But there are more ways to potentially get them forgiven. If you went to a scam institution, you can put them on pause. Income driven. You know, if you get laid off, there's lots of help. Yeah, not with the Nordstrom card. So yes, I wish they were mostly student loans. And yes, $48,000 of debt is bad. What the are you talking about? It's not that bad. I'm not gonna let you walk away with that. 46,000. What? What?
Financial Audit Assistant
How?
Caleb Hammer
Can you please define how that's that bad?
Dom
Well, it's payable. I don't need to file for bankruptcy.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Dom
I could probably try and pay it off in like three years.
Caleb Hammer
Tell me your strategy. What are you getting to do there?
Dom
Um, not buy stuff. Not spend money on buying things. Like clothes. I'm a girl, I like fashion.
Caleb Hammer
That's your strategy?
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Is I just don't buy clothes or tattoos. Yeah, you have some tattoos.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You'll probably stop.
Dom
They're expensive. Don't you spend money on clothes?
Caleb Hammer
Here and there, but also I can't afford it. It's in my budget. I don't have bad debt to pay off. I don't know what you're complaining about. How much were those glasses?
Dom
300.
Caleb Hammer
So what are you doing then? Because you haven't done a single thing.
Dom
Yeah, you don't think so?
Caleb Hammer
To pay off debt. You haven't done anything.
Dom
I mean, I'm paying them on time.
Caleb Hammer
Well, we will actually see about that. Because most people say that and then they don't.
Dom
I do pay mine on time.
Caleb Hammer
I hope so we will find out.
Dom
But it feels like I'm not even paying it because the interest rate's high from the Nordstrom's card and the other card.
Caleb Hammer
Since you're such an expert and you spent all the time and all the money on the Chicano degree, I've brought in my local half Mexican and equal tattoo degenerate. Brandon. Welcome.

Caleb Hammer
All right, everyone, say bye to Brandon. Bye.
Dom
Bye.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, you're kind of a chicano. You're like 60 of the way there. Proud of you. So you say your main goal is to pay off the dime. That's what you've wanted to do, and that's why you haven't gone into the career field, all this stuff. Okay, so what is your strategy of budgeting? Tell me of the. Your budget.
Dom
I am living with my parents, and I'm not shopping online anymore.
Caleb Hammer
That's budgeting.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Living with parents can be a good thing, depending. I mean, you kind of moved back in, what, at 30?
Dom
No, I moved back then. I think at 28.
Caleb Hammer
You've been there for two years. How long are you gonna be there?
Dom
I don't Know, I kind of want to stay.
Caleb Hammer
Why? You don't want independence?
Dom
I did have that, but what about dating? I am dating.
Caleb Hammer
You have a boyfriend?
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
And you live at home. And he's okay.
Dom
Yeah, because, well, I have a relationship. My, you caught me off guard. Sorry.
Caleb Hammer
And he has his own place?
Dom
No, he lives with his parents.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. And how old is he?
Dom
29.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. I see the people I'm dealing with here. You tend to find more replicas of yourself out there, don't you, ladies and gentlemen?
Dom
I think so, but I think for myself, when in my 20s, I was always out, but now my parents are getting older, and I kind of find it healing to be with them.
Caleb Hammer
Sure, sure. And I. I don't have anything wrong with people living at home. Lots of other cultures live at home longer. But the fact is, in our culture and things like that, and when it comes to independence and building a relationship, maybe even building a future family, whatever it is. How long have you guys been dating?
Dom
A year? In like, seven months or something?
Caleb Hammer
It's a year and seven months. So we're talking usually, you know, pretty close to moving in maybe, or even getting engaged at that point, you know?
Dom
Okay, I'm scared of moving in.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. If we live with mommy and Daddy before.
Dom
That's why I don't want to live with.
Caleb Hammer
That sounds like it was a bad relationship. Doesn't mean this was. Doesn't mean if you're considering this a potentially bad relationship, don't be in it. Then you should be able to move in together.
Dom
Yeah, but look, all my stuff, I can't walk out.
Caleb Hammer
But. No, no. What I was trying to say is you live in a home isn't necessarily a bad thing. But the staying at home forever thing, there is personal growth that happens, especially in our culture, with a little bit more independence. Yeah, and I'm nervous that you're not getting.
Dom
But when I had independence, I spent my money because I wasn't financially.
Caleb Hammer
Because you're immature. What? You think living at home with your parents is the only reason you're immature?
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Then what?
Dom
What makes me immature?
Caleb Hammer
You just said you living not at home made you go crazy spending all your money. So you're only mature because you live at home?
Dom
Well, I wouldn't even say I feel like I'm spending.
Financial Audit Assistant
Wait, you've been four for two years.
Caleb Hammer
Hey, you've been living at home for two years and you still spend $1,000 more than you make. What? What is wrong with you? How are you spending more than you bring in your Laughing about anything. You think that's cute?
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, let us see more of those fake like degenerate ass sparkles on your teeth. Keep laughing.
Dom
No, no, because you told me to laugh. I'm not gonna laugh.
Caleb Hammer
All right, let's be honest. Most of us weren't exactly credit card geniuses in our early 20s. I thought minimum payment meant you're good. Turns out, not so much. And that is why today's sponsor, Kickoff makes a lot of sense. If you're trying to build credit where or get out of the mess that you made, Kickoff is the easiest and safest way to build credit fast. And it's dead simple. You make small on time payments every single month and that gets reported to the major credit bureaus. No interest, no credit check. You get to start for just five.
Financial Audit Assistant
Bucks a month or even one dollar.
Caleb Hammer
For your first month right now. And yes, it actually works. Users who started with a credit score under 600 saw an average bump of 84 points in their first year just by making on time payments. You sign up in minutes, put it on autop away and let Kickoff quietly do the work while you live your life. Start building credit with Kickoff today and you can get your first month as little as $1. That is 80% off the normal price. When you go to getkickoff.com Caleb or scan the QR code on screen, that is kickoff without the C. Get K-I K-O-F F.com Caleb and how much were those? Those like these are actually free because.
Dom
I won a contest. Great.
Caleb Hammer
And now you look like a middle schooler.
Dom
Okay, I'm healing my inner child.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, that's what you need, is to be more childlike. That's what you need. Useless degree. So is a home boyfriend still lives at home. Well, if you want to be more like a child, this is gonna go great for you.
Dom
I'm trying to figure it out.
Caleb Hammer
How? What are you doing to try to figure it out? It's been two years. You spend a thousand more than you made. If you're gonna say that, tell me what you're doing to try to figure it out.
Dom
Not spend that much, spend less. I don't know, maybe start a clothing brand.
Caleb Hammer
It's nothing to me what you keep talking about this clothes thing.
Financial Audit Assistant
Buddy, I love clothes.
Dom
I love fashion. It's my thing.
Caleb Hammer
That's great.
Dom
You spend school for that. Why did school.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, well, that would have been a better degree. Even though it's still an overly competitive degree. But it's so stupid what you did. Listen I know this. You went out to eat $500. Miscellaneous was almost 800. It's not just clothes.
Dom
It's food.
Caleb Hammer
It's a part of it.
Financial Audit Assistant
Live at home, huh?
Dom
Food is a lot. Because on top of having my bud tending job, I also work with my friend and we do native gardening. So I also.
Caleb Hammer
That takes time. How much time?
Dom
Like a week or month?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes, a month. I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
A week? Sure.
Dom
A week maybe like we do.
Caleb Hammer
And what do you make from that?
Dom
She pays me 30 the hour.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so what's your account from that on a monthly basis?
Dom
What? 400? Maybe like 500, 600 extra a month?
Caleb Hammer
What the is this? The is this? You live home with your parents. You have this credit line with the bank, and it pulls from the credit line when you're overdrafting.
Financial Audit Assistant
And then you have to pay an.
Caleb Hammer
Additional 17.9% interest rate on it.
Financial Audit Assistant
You have a balance of 3,000. 3,000 on your overdraft balance.
Caleb Hammer
What is wrong with you? You're smirking. You think you're cute.
Financial Audit Assistant
You're not.
Caleb Hammer
You're over lining your lipstick and it doesn't even look good.
Dom
It's fine.
Caleb Hammer
This is not cute, okay? You're just sitting there laughing like this is a joke.
Financial Audit Assistant
Hee haw. Hee haw. You have a 3,000. Shut the.
Caleb Hammer
You have a 3,000 hour overdraft balance.
Dom
Yes.
Financial Audit Assistant
What the.
Dom
I'm just a girl. I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
I really.
Dom
I'm not.
Caleb Hammer
That's what you say.
Dom
Literate. Yes.
Caleb Hammer
That's not financial literacy. I know, but you're overdrafting into a loan. That's not financial literacy.
Dom
First.
Financial Audit Assistant
No, we all know not.
Caleb Hammer
No, no, no, no, no, no. If you. If you get hit by not having enough money in your checking account, we all know that is bad. That is not financially literacy. If you get penalized for not having enough money in your checking account, we all know not having enough money in checking account is bad. If you get penalized for not having enough money and checking account because you're.
Financial Audit Assistant
Spending all the time, we know that is bad. If a loan is going up, we know that it's bad.
Caleb Hammer
That is not financial literacy. Everyone knows that. We know that. If you know, a debt goes up, that is bad. In fact, about $6,000 student loans.
Financial Audit Assistant
Phew. You know this is bad. It is $3,000. Then what the are you doing? Why are you allowing yourself overdraft? Huh?
Dom
I'm being positive about it.
Caleb Hammer
You shouldn't be. You can't be. You need to be realistic. Your Manifesting is only going higher. What the are you talking about? Your debt is only going up. Your overdrafting is only going up because you can't stop split bending like a animal.
Dom
It's a minimal payment. It does it on its own. I haven't used overdraft.
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes. What? Yes, you did. When?
Caleb Hammer
The first of last month. First of last month? The first of last.
Dom
How much?
Financial Audit Assistant
It's a normal overdraft.
Dom
So just another overdraft on top of the overdraft?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes. It gets added to your little overdraft.
Caleb Hammer
Loan account, which I've never even seen before, by the way. Congratulations on making financial out of history of something so horrible and disgusting. That is not cute. You're gonna piss me off, and I'm gonna kick you the off. I'm gonna kick you the off if you keep trying to be cute.
Financial Audit Assistant
You're not being cute.
Caleb Hammer
You're being an obnoxious.
Dom
Oh, my God.
Caleb Hammer
Saying thanks. Saying thanks when I say you are very clearly bad. And it is the first time I've ever seen it. That's something that bad. That is not cute.
Financial Audit Assistant
Stop trying to look cute.
Caleb Hammer
It's not funny. No one's giving you high fives in the comments.
Financial Audit Assistant
Shut the up.
Dom
I know. What do you want me to do?
Financial Audit Assistant
Shut the up.
Dom
Fine.
Caleb Hammer
Septum piercing, obnoxious mother. You are not cute. You are not funny. You have a $3,000 overdraft alone. It is a joke. It is disgusting.
Financial Audit Assistant
You live at parents. You've done nothing.
Caleb Hammer
You have a worthless degree. You have nothing going for you. And yes, this is bad. Yes, this is bad. And I'm not gonna baby you and coddle you and let you think that this is just okay. This is not okay. This is the complete opposite of okay. It is disgusting, and you should be ashamed. You should be embarrassed, and you should be doing everything in your life to try to turn this around for the sake of your own life.
Financial Audit Assistant
And the fact that you're not.
Caleb Hammer
And you're not disgusted is embarrassing and sad.
Dom
Why is it embarrassing how it's embarrassing.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, guys. Oh, I don't want to. I don't want to have a crash out episode. You don't feel embarrassed that you have an overdraft loan, something that's never happened in this show, and that you just say thanks when I say you made history.
Dom
People don't know about it. Or either. They're basically.
Caleb Hammer
I have their statements. You did. I have their statements.
Dom
They don't know.
Caleb Hammer
Filming four of these a week for three years. I have their statements. Well, they don't need to know about it.
Dom
I know they don't. Because then they probably would use it like I did.
Caleb Hammer
Dude, I don't even know what the to do with you. I don't know you. You're lost. Is this even worth my time?
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dom
Because I want to pay everything off. I want to know what I.
Caleb Hammer
Then why are you sitting there acting like you're cute and funny when you're not?
Dom
What do you mean I'm.
Caleb Hammer
What do I mean?
Dom
Have you seen respectful?
Caleb Hammer
You said I'm not gonna.
Dom
What's wrong with saying thanks?
Caleb Hammer
Come on. Cause you know what I was saying was objectively, you are in a bad place. You're saying thanks. That is gonna piss me the off real quick.
Dom
Okay, I'll take it back.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, my gosh. Yeah. No. You and your boyfriend both, huh? You and your boyfriend both. Both like this?
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. You're gonna be the ones making kids somehow.
Dom
No, no kids for me. Thanks.
Caleb Hammer
Trust me. Yeah, you'll accidentally.
Dom
No, thank you. Nope. Don't say that.
Caleb Hammer
And how are his finances?
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
How are his finances?
Dom
They're fine.
Caleb Hammer
Doubt it.
Dom
No, they are.
Caleb Hammer
You think you're not that bad. Yeah. What do you think your financial score is? 0 to 10, 0 being the worst, 10 being the best.
Dom
Like a 3.
Caleb Hammer
Chino studies, no one ever do it, and they all become morons. You are the.
Dom
Is it a 3?
Financial Audit Assistant
I'll calculate it at the end.
Caleb Hammer
I don't know your finances. Okay, Jake Hender, tell me to look at that account. I don't know. I go in blind with the audience.

Caleb Hammer
You owe $1,430 card a line. 1500. Great. Shocker. Minimum monthly payment, $69. Okay.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
You made $83 of purchases and 17 cents or $17.70 of interest. Balance only went up. We're borderline at the limit. Only a thousand $430.80. Which for credit cards isn't the highest, but just that alone. Which is actually bad for you, by the way. But just that alone. How long does it take to pay off minimum monthly payments without making any purchases? How long? How long, big lady?
Dom
300.
Caleb Hammer
300 what?
Dom
Dollars. Are you giving me a math question?
Caleb Hammer
Chino studies.
Dom
I don't do math.
Caleb Hammer
It's not math. I asked how long.
Dom
Oh, but you said how much.
Caleb Hammer
How long?
Dom
That would probably take me like.
Caleb Hammer
Pause, pause. To clear. To be clear. You thought I asked how much does it take to pay off a thousand? 300. 400. And you said 300amonth.
Dom
If I paid $300 a month, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
That would pay it off in a certain amount of time. So would. Your minimum payment is $69. So would $250. So 251 and 2 and 3 and 4. What? That's such. I Don't get that answer. Okay. Yeah. Time. How many years?
Dom
If I choose the minimum.
Caleb Hammer
No purchases, minimum monthly payments only 10 years. Eight years. You find that acceptable? You're still living with Mommy and Daddy at 40? No, but you probably will. You have no hope. Surviving on your own.
Dom
Then I have to start creating things.
Caleb Hammer
What are you gonna create?
Dom
I just told.
Caleb Hammer
Other than pain and misery for men in front of you?
Dom
Brand clothes.
Caleb Hammer
Look at you. What are you doing? I don't know what's so fashionable.
Dom
Look at you.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not trying to make clothes.
Dom
Well, that. Okay.
Caleb Hammer
See, no, I don't.
Dom
Well, that's where my mind is at. I think that's what I want to do. But I don't want to spend more money if I don't have money. So that's why I don't want to start something I can't start if I don't have money.
Caleb Hammer
You say you'll never join the Navy, that you'd never track storms brewing in the Atlantic and skydiving could never be part of your commute. You'd never climb Mount Fuji on a.
Financial Audit Assistant
Port visit or fly so fast you break the sound barrier.
Caleb Hammer
Joining the Navy sounds crazy. Saying never actually is. Start your journey@navy.com America's Navy, forged by the sea.
Dom
And I think I can make more.
Caleb Hammer
Money if you want to dress like Don, because.
Dom
Okay, but Chicano studies. There's a Chicano culture in la. The clothing, like fashion culture over there is really big for the Chicanos as well. And I think I would be really good in that. But again, I don't have money, so I'm trying to like.
Caleb Hammer
Because he's found it all. I know how to make nachos in the microwave. I've learned more than you did your entire four year degree.
Dom
It's fine. I just. There's a lot of history and history.
Caleb Hammer
Is great, but no offense, it doesn't really land jobs. I know we go to college to better our career.
Dom
It was easy.
Caleb Hammer
You can get history from.
Dom
I think that's why I. Cause it was easy, huh? It was easy. It was an easy.
Caleb Hammer
Well, no, it's a bull degree. It's a bullshit degree.
Dom
This is just for myself more than.
Caleb Hammer
No. Instead of actually for yourself and bettering your life.
Dom
Yeah, I got scared. I didn't want to do psychology. I thought. I thought I wouldn't do.
Caleb Hammer
Well, you said you had to do psychology.
Dom
I wanted to, but then I chickened out and I did.
Caleb Hammer
There are other options. Yeah, there are other options in. Please.
Dom
I guess I believe in myself. That's all.
Caleb Hammer
Well, fair enough. Based on this, yes.
Dom
See, I'm trying to change.
Caleb Hammer
Not trying to be mean, but I mean, look at you. I understand. Again, have done nothing but failed. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. If I'm gonna let you think you've been successful, I'm gonna harm you. That's harming you.
Dom
Okay.
Caleb Hammer
You have been a failure. You are a failure. You can turn it around, and I hope you do. But to think that this is anything other than a failure would be doing you a disservice.
Dom
Yeah, well, thanks for being honest.
Caleb Hammer
Well, I'm nothing but interesting. I don't know. It's a crazy crate. Kaser. What's Kaiser 60?
Dom
Kaiser.
Caleb Hammer
Kaiser. What's Kaiser? Kaiser Health. Okay.
Dom
I had to do checkup.
Caleb Hammer
Good. Make sure you didn't get AIDS from all the needles.
Dom
What? Why would I get that? No.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, there's more Taste tea. Tasty.
Dom
Oh, yeah, that's. That's a tea place.
Caleb Hammer
And that is more important than ever. Moving out. It was independent.
Dom
I didn't need to get that.
Caleb Hammer
It was too sugar. Oh, the fact that it's too sugary, huh?
Dom
Yeah. I should have bought the things I bought.
Caleb Hammer
I'm just so confused.
Dom
Maybe I shouldn't eat.
Financial Audit Assistant
Who's buying your style?
Caleb Hammer
You look like you just walked out a Hot Topic. I'm so confused.
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
I am so confused.
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes. Or. Or Spencers. I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
Like, I don't know what you're selling.
Dom
Well, I'm not selling anything yet. I still have to make it.
Caleb Hammer
Guys, if you want to look like her, go. Go to Dom has a terrible. Go to Dom has terrible Fashion dot com. Tom Terriblefashion dot com. And we'll set you up to look like her.
Dom
Not terrible.
Caleb Hammer
Tom looks like Hot Topic dot com. Dom looks like Hot Topic dot com.
Dom
Better.
Caleb Hammer
Better what?
Dom
Better than Hot Topic.
Caleb Hammer
You look like the people that walk in and out of there. I'm not gonna lie. You also look like the people I'm avoiding that are walking in and out of there. Not gonna lie.
Dom
Well, it's good. I don't go to the malls anymore.
Caleb Hammer
You also look like you smell of dank.
Dom
Not today.
Caleb Hammer
So if you put in any real work into this business, this big ambition, this entrepreneurial spirit, please tell me about your real work.
Dom
What do you mean my job that I have right now?
Caleb Hammer
Oh, don't get mad.
Dom
I get confused. I feel like we're talking about a lot of things at once.
Caleb Hammer
Confusing. I just asked you a Question. It was.
Dom
Just tell me about your work.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, to do this, Your business, your entrepreneurial. I literally said your business, your entrepreneurialness.
Dom
I've been asking Chad GBT a lot of questions, and it's been helping me. I have a sewing machine, but I don't use it. I bought a desk to use my sewing machine, but I haven't used it to score the sewing machine. I'm lazy. It's hard.
Caleb Hammer
That's the first actual reality thing you said. What do you do there?
Dom
Work out.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. You're. You're incredibly specific. You are just. You are.
Dom
I think those are the only things I have going.
Caleb Hammer
You paid $2,000 last year for tattoo. What? Tattoo alone. For sake. Dude, you could be. You could have paid off this credit card and more and more.
Dom
I did pay some of my credit cards off. They're higher.
Caleb Hammer
No, you've just replaced them. Just like on this card. You just replaced them. You just replaced them. That is a lie. Nordstrom. You shouldn't be seen near a Nordstrom. That is way too expensive for you. You can't live alone. Why date this guy? You should break up with this guy. He's a failure. He's a failure, and he should break up with you because you're a failure. You guys are holding each other back in life. You enable each other to live at home instead of ever pushing yourselves. Next steps.
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Go ahead, explain. So explain.
Dom
We're having individual people.
Caleb Hammer
We have two individual failures.
Dom
Decisions. I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
Decisions to be failures. Okay. You both are living at home at 30 and you won't move out.
Dom
You just said that's not a bad thing. It's not necessarily.
Caleb Hammer
But when you base it off of what has led to it and what they're doing while they're there. Yeah, you're a failure.
Dom
Not too much.
Caleb Hammer
I feel like I'm being mean, but I really don't like people like you. I'm just to be candid.
Dom
It's fine.
Caleb Hammer
Like, if you guys just hold us back as, like, a society. How? Look at everything you're doing. You're trying to be cutesy and you think it's fun, and you get a worthless degree and you're just. You're gonna milk the system eventually and you're gonna cry about it, and it's just, like, you just hold back everything. This sucks. You purchased $63 on here. $138.23 of interest accrued. You owe $5,495.45. What's the limit on this.
Dom
I think it's.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. You have about 100 bucks you can spend on it. You have about 100 bucks you can spend on it. I'm sure you'll do. I think I went up 5, 600.
Dom
It went up to 7.
Financial Audit Assistant
How long does this take to.
Caleb Hammer
It should.
Financial Audit Assistant
Well, not gonna use it.
Caleb Hammer
Look, you've used both cards to bring them up. Both, Both, both, both. How long does this take to pay off? Minimum payments only.
Dom
No, like 13 years.
Caleb Hammer
17. We're gonna be looking at mid.
Dom
I'm not gonna take that long though.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, you would. No, you're gonna take longer because you purchase. You don't want to yet all you do is purchase. That makes no sense. What you say that you want, huh?
Dom
You're telling me that, huh? I shouldn't eat because all my money.
Caleb Hammer
I spent food, dude. 300 of groceries and you'd be perfectly fine. And you live at home already. Yes, we. We proved it. 250. And you can use our budget friendly cookbook. Okay, we will give you one.
Dom
That would help.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, that'll help. But you actually have to meal prep and do.
Dom
I will.
Caleb Hammer
No, you won't.
Financial Audit Assistant
I need it. Yes, you do. But you won't listen.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, this is what's up.
Dom
You don't believe in me.
Caleb Hammer
No, I don't. Because look at your history. This is what. And you can prove it by coming on the follow up channel. But this, this is. This is. This is. This is what.
Dom
I'm gonna prove you wrong. Then you're gonna hate me more.
Caleb Hammer
This is what pisses me off about you. You say what you want, but then everything you do literally only does the opposite and takes you further away from it. Your words mean I can't trust anything you say. Your words mean nothing. Your actions are so beyond counter. What you say you want.
Dom
Are you calling me a liar?
Caleb Hammer
I ain't calling you a truther.
Dom
Yes, well, I'm learning not to be a liar.
Caleb Hammer
How do you learn not to be a liar? Just don't be a liar. What the F are you talking about? It's not about being honest. It's about your actions. Your actions are completely opposite of what you say you want. And what you say you want just deflects the conversation so you can stop getting pushback. And the thing I'm calling you out about and you're like, well, I want to fix that. That's just what someone says in this conversation when they're obviously doing the opposite. When they want me to back off from calling them out on that specific topic, if you actually wanted to not do the thing I'm calling you out on, you wouldn't do it.
Dom
Well, I'll stop doing it.

Dom
What do you mean based on what?
Financial Audit Assistant
You've accomplished nothing. Not one time in your life have.
Caleb Hammer
You accomplished something significant. Did you just fart?
Dom
No. Your leather chairs. My nails.
Caleb Hammer
We don't have leather chairs.
Dom
What do you mean? It's leather right here.
Financial Audit Assistant
No, it's not.
Dom
Or whatever this is. I wouldn't fart on your show. Okay. I think you're just not free.
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
Oh, you're gonna end up in the of pipeline, aren't you? You totally are. This is where people like no out there in la.
Dom
That freaks me out.
Caleb Hammer
Oh well, please don't even consider it.
Dom
I won't.
Caleb Hammer
You're going in here. Jersey Mike's More Kaiser Rx Medicine. Two late feasts this year so far.
Dom
Where?
Caleb Hammer
Shut the up.
Dom
Oh my Kaiser.
Caleb Hammer
You.
Dom
I forgot to put the auto pay.
Caleb Hammer
It's on Nordstrom.
Dom
Really?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes.
Dom
Oh yeah, I don't. I didn't have auto pay on that one either.
Financial Audit Assistant
Oh, every time someone says at the beginning. I know for a. A fact. I know for a fact at this.
Caleb Hammer
Point, if I see a military person, they're on disability for the rest of their life, no matter what. If I see someone that says they aren't, they have never missed a payment. They definitely have. These are the two 100% truths in financial audit guys. And no matter what, someone will say, that's why I'm here. And you already did like five minutes in. $700 of interest accrued this year so far. What a joke. Over 30% interest. What a joke. Too late. Famous this year so far. Six months in. What a jo. Five months in at the statement.
Dom
Five bucks.
Financial Audit Assistant
Five bucks in at the time of this statement.
Dom
That's no good.
Caleb Hammer
Show me a picture of him.
Dom
Who?
Caleb Hammer
The boyfriend, the one we've talked about. Cause I'm gonna judge him.
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Well, he's not gonna be on camera, but pull him out. If you want to wear weird leopard prints, go to Dom's leopard prints or nasty dot com. Oh, yeah, this guy's a failure. If I've seen a wannab musician. Oh yeah. This guy's never gonna provide. What a joke. This dude looks like he's from sublime in the 1990s. This dude's injecting heroin twice a day.
Dom
That's insane.
Caleb Hammer
No, this guy will never be able to afford anything. He is an emo, weird la freak of nature combined with different constructions of the human body. This guy. Good luck, man. Good. You guys are never.
Financial Audit Assistant
Oh, that is the largest, largest septum piercing I've ever seen in my life. Oh, you guys are perfect for each other.
Caleb Hammer
Please never reproduce.
Financial Audit Assistant
Whoa.
Caleb Hammer
It goes down to is like, who would play him in a movie?
Dom
Who would play him? Are you looking somebody up?
Caleb Hammer
No, I'm looking up a picture of the person he's playing. Cuz we don't show people without their consent on camera. If that's ever made it through. It was a technical accident. That was fixed immediately. What does he look like on camera? What? Who would play him? Oh my God.
Dom
I want to see.
Caleb Hammer
I found the perfect actor. What is going on here?
Financial Audit Assistant
Breakfast?
Caleb Hammer
What? No, that's what he looks like. And we love the down syndrome. We love the down syndrome. We're not critical of the down syndrome at all. They're the nicest people you've ever met. We love the down syndrome. We love the down syndrome.
Dom
Good.
Caleb Hammer
Big fans of the down syndrome here and the autistics. Give them all. We won't do eugenics. Bring them in. We love them here. I'm glad financial audit is big supportive of any and all people. What the Was that minimum on the Nordstrom card? See, look, every. I get extra goony guys. I get extra goony whenever they put a creature in front of me. This isn't my fault that I'm like this. It's her fault, which means it's Lindsay's fault. Lindsay, it's your fault that I'm being a degenerate right now. And Colton's fault and Jake's fault. The besties and Jordan's fault. $194 Nordstrom. I don't know how you're gonna afford these minimum fee payments. They're stacking, they're stacking, they're stacking, they're stacking. And I hear that you blamed that when you had to produce, called the producers. You blamed it on. Oh, I have such a problem always wanting to treat people. You're blowing money on yourself on there. And you won't even make your payments on time. Like, shut up. It is not you being a good person.
Dom
I like buying gifts for people.
Caleb Hammer
Cool. That is not what got you into that debt. That is not what is maintaining that debt. So when you use that weird deflection, it is bull. Yeah, it is bullshit. Also, you guys are never gonna move in together.
Dom
But it's fine.
Caleb Hammer
He makes no money. You're gonna. You're both gonna live with your parents forever. Are you okay with that?
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
And what are we doing? What goals do you have? What ambition do you have? What can I help with? Because I know I'm rosy and it's fun.
Dom
Newer. And I want to. What? I'm gonna know my dreams.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, please tell. Please tell. Yeah, please tell your dreams. Let's see if I can help you get there. Because again, again, I know we're beating her up. We're having fun. We're giving some good roasts and, you know, and actually, I legitimately was very pissed off earlier, as you guys can probably tell, but it happens. I am only human. But. But, you know, thank you for consenting to all that. But even with that, let's see if I can help you get to your goal. What is your goal? What are your dreams? Your aspirations?
Dom
To have my own brand. But that also, again, it involves money. And I want to be out of debt so I can make that happen. But I don't know how long that's going to take. But I want to pay it as.
Caleb Hammer
Like, you want to have your own brand. And what's your brand?
Dom
Lady clothing brand? Either. Gym clothes.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, no. One else is doing that. We haven't had literally five other guests in the show's history wanting to do that.
Dom
Gym clothes, really?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes. That's athletic wear.
Dom
Well, it's. I wanted to be.
Financial Audit Assistant
I want it to be.
Dom
I haven't seen. But there's not a Chicano one.
Caleb Hammer
Great. You'll cater to five people.
Dom
Latinas, yes.
Caleb Hammer
More than. Yeah, But Latinos will probably just go by Lululemon. Lululemon and Fabletics.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
But, like, they'll probably build brands that exist that are good, but this brand.
Dom
Could be good, you know?
Caleb Hammer
All right, guys.
Dom
Streetwear, you know, all the cute stuff.
Caleb Hammer
I will allow it. I will allow it for this one time only. I will allow the plug, guys. If you want to see her brand, go to Dom definitely has a brand and a downsyndromeboyfriend.com and you can get access to all of her clothing today. What the. Wait. What is this Sharpie? This looks like the best Buy car, but it's not.
Dom
That's a Sears one.
Caleb Hammer
You have a Sears car.
Dom
I know. It still exists.
Financial Audit Assistant
Whoa.
Caleb Hammer
We're in the 80s right now. What, are you kidding?
Dom
Yeah, that one.
Caleb Hammer
No, no. What are you getting? Like, I'm so curious. What the. Do you even get on a Sears car?
Dom
Random stuff, I guess.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dom
It started with the jewelry stand. They're like, you can get so and so off if you open a credit card. I was like, okay.
Caleb Hammer
They're so good at getting you.
Dom
They are.
Caleb Hammer
You owe $5,618.81. They're good at getting you because you don't have a single ounce of maturity. You want to be an entrepreneurial living at home, but you've never accomplished anything in your life. Good luck. I hope you do well.
Dom
Where do I start?
Caleb Hammer
1. Get an idea that's unique. I guarantee you there's a thousand Latina athletic brands out there. Guarantee you.
Dom
Okay, okay, okay.
Caleb Hammer
So do something no one's ever done. Let's use. Let's just use my example. Let's. Let's stroke. Stroke my ego real quick. Okay. Let's have a little. Little ego stroke. I don't even know what that was. When I write music and, you know, I was able to make a living off of composer. Very rare thing. It's really cool. I wanted to write a piece of music that I wanted to hear that no one else heard. When I thought about making content, I made a show that I wanted to watch but didn't exist yet. So I made financial audit. That's how you have to think about it, what market is not being served? Or if there is a market that is being served, what can you do so substantially better in such a unique way that it will surpass those other brands? Those are the two ways you essentially have to go about it. This is the most simple, easy version, guaranteed. There's like 50 Latino athletic wares and you're not gonna get there. I'm sorry. Like, you'll have some friends and family support it, but this is not revolutionary enough to get you there or you haven't told me what is gonna be so beyond industry changing that no one else is doing that. You're bringing to that. Do you have that answer?
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
See, you're like, no offense to 90% of the entrepreneurs. And I'm glad we have an entrepreneurial culture and I'm glad. I want you to risk things. I want you to lose, lose, lose until you find the thing that wins. That is not a bad thing. What is so bad is everyone talks about what they want to do, then they sit down forever, then they imagine it, they dream about it, and they never do it. And then you just live at home. Yes, exactly. That is just you.
Dom
So I'm trying to get out of doing that, but I guess it's just trying. Trying new things.
Caleb Hammer
I want you to pursue a career and if something hits you and you're able to research it properly, then maybe we can start a business on the side.
Financial Audit Assistant
Ever.
Caleb Hammer
Go full in. I'm very blessed. The audience is amazing. I got super lucky that this took off pretty quick. But even still, I had to work my job many months before I, you know, went full into this. And I was not willing to just quit my job and start this because who knows? This wasn't even started as a career. Of course I hoped I could make money off of it. I was hoping it would be a little extra money. Then I was like, oh, I made a little extra money. Hopefully I can make full time off of this.
Financial Audit Assistant
Oh, I can make full time with this. Maybe I can build a business. Oh, I built a business.
Caleb Hammer
It's really cool. But never start with that's where I'm going to be. Let me quit everything and go there because that's too risky. Plus, you have so much debt. Listen, there's Latina lifters, there's Diosa Fit Z F I tco, Rarefit Soul Work, Furuza Athletics, JZD Curva's, Latina, Port de Bras Charlie. In the Mexico version, those are the top 10 Latina owned and focused athletic brands.
Dom
I never Heard of any one of.
Caleb Hammer
Them, and yet they're probably selling and making money, whereas you wouldn't.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Off the bat again, you might make some supplemental income, but that's a hobby. That's a hobby. And a hobby's okay. Hobby's not something that I'm gonna look down on. But I just don't want you to jump into this and think. I don't want you to just sit stagnant as you have the last 12 years of your life, thinking that eventually I'm gonna do this thing and it's gonna be successful. You're never gonna get anywhere with that.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
And that's just real. And I'm sorry. I'll get to a course certification. If you want to go into a different career field so you can make more money, it's great our audience uses them. I would have if they. If I knew about them before I did all this, but that would help. Okay, so this credit card's stupid. Of course. $5,618. 19 years to pay off. Yeah. You'll be 50. 50.
Dom
Yeah, but I want to pay it faster than that.
Caleb Hammer
Yes, but you do nothing to do that. In fact, all you've done is purchase an accrue interest. Your credit card balance went down just a few bucks. It's so insignificant. The minimum monthly payment is $201, so you wouldn't even be able to move out even if you wanted to. And what is it? Uber one? That is what you have on here. A reoccurring subscription?
Dom
Oh, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
750. Basically, rounded in interest lost this year alone. On this card, we're well over a thousand. Goes to a thousand.500 on both of these. On all three of these together. That's substantial for you.
Financial Audit Assistant
I know it's at a 33.24 interest rate.
Dom
That's how they get me.
Caleb Hammer
No, no, you got yourself. Because you have a lack of maturity, you're not able to say no. You're not able to recognize you're not a credit card person. So maybe I shouldn't take advantage of a tool that I'm incapable of taking advantage of because all it does is damage me. Yeah, yeah.
Dom
But. Oh, I don't know how to cancel that one.
Caleb Hammer
You call.
Dom
I would try.
Caleb Hammer
You close it. You call, and you close it. You call crazy, and you close it. What's crazy?
Dom
Nothing. I thought I did when I took it off from the PayPal, and now I went to another card taking it from a tap.
Caleb Hammer
Pay you think closes the card. Come on.
Dom
Well, not the Card. The Uber payment or the charge?
Caleb Hammer
You probably had a bad.
Dom
I didn't know that.
Caleb Hammer
You probably had a backup payment on the account.
Dom
Well, I learned.
Financial Audit Assistant
Just cancel the subscription instead of.
Dom
I tried on the app.
Caleb Hammer
On the Uber app.
Dom
Let me. Yeah. Oh, no. What happened is I don't have access to my Yahoo email, and then I can't.
Financial Audit Assistant
Pull out your phone.
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
Pull out your phone for that Yahoo One.
Financial Audit Assistant
Just pull out your phone.
Dom
Okay. One X give. But you need my passcode open.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, yeah. Little tit. Oh, this phone's horrible. What did you do? You dropped it so many times.
Dom
I need to get a new screen protector.
Caleb Hammer
No, you need a new screen. This is.
Dom
It's a sticker.
Caleb Hammer
You can't protect this anymore. Oh, that's. This. Okay, good. Because my. It's a sticker.
Dom
I just can't find the other ones.
Caleb Hammer
Why isn't your Uber 1 subscription on here?
Dom
I don't know what Uber 1 is.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, what are these? Memberships you've had Sculpt you. Lively home AI photoleap, micro factor meal Q TV remote. You have iCloud+ right now, which is.
Dom
I have a lot of photos. What happened? How did I take it off?
Caleb Hammer
Huh?
Dom
What'd you do?
Caleb Hammer
Nothing. Because it wasn't in there. I thought it may have been in there.
Dom
That's what I mean. I don't know what Uber one is.
Caleb Hammer
Okay. Care credit.
Dom
Oh, yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Three thou. Oh, yeah. Okay. $3590 and 34 cents. Of course there's interest. 84.57 cents. 121 minimum payment. 15 years to pay this one off. What is going on with this card? Oh, okay. Interest this year so far? 538. So what are we at, like, $2,000 now instead of 26.99? What's going on with this?
Dom
The Care Credit is, well, supposed to be for health and vet stuff. I have dogs.
Caleb Hammer
And.
Dom
And I use them on my dogs.
Caleb Hammer
How often do you have dog insurance?
Dom
No.
Caleb Hammer
Why?
Dom
Because I heard that's a scam.
Caleb Hammer
It's not if you get good ones. It's safety. Tens of thousands. Should I get Brandon? Which one should she get? Spot Pretz? Spot Press?
Dom
Really?
Caleb Hammer
Spot Pets Pretty good. Lemonade's pretty good. There's some good ones out there because.
Dom
I have a big dog and sometimes he gets hurt.
Caleb Hammer
If he has all these X things before that you've had it taken care of, he may not qualify, or he might not qualify for much, or your payment might be absolutely insane. Also, tell us the real reason you got the big bill.
Dom
Which big bill? On this one. I know. I've been using it.
Caleb Hammer
I think your dog ate your roommate's magic mushrooms.
Dom
Oh, yeah, My wiener dog. Yeah, it's my other dog. Yeah. That one was like 900 or almost a thousand. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Is wrong with you?
Dom
It was me. It was her, my roommate's boyfriend's fault.
Caleb Hammer
Like, listen, if you can't afford to have dogs even while living at home, you just can't have dogs because it's not fair to the dogs.
Dom
I know it's not, but one of them was pushed on me.
Caleb Hammer
Pushed on you? Tell me.
Dom
It was my brother's dog and he moved down with his girlfriend, had a kid. Can't take the big dog to the apartment, so I stepped in.
Caleb Hammer
What is this card?
Dom
What is that?
Caleb Hammer
What is.
Financial Audit Assistant
I'm asking, what is it?
Dom
What is that?
Financial Audit Assistant
What is it? I don't know.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, my. What is the account? It doesn't have any branding.
Dom
What is this?
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. What do you see at the bottom, by the way?
Dom
Oh, smile now.
Caleb Hammer
What do you see at the bottom?
Dom
It's for my wisdom teeth with what's highlighted, but to avoid paying a cured interest.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, what's highlighted? Come on.
Dom
The late fee. Why is there fly?
Caleb Hammer
What was it?
Dom
The late fee.
Caleb Hammer
The person who never has late fees.
Dom
Yeah. It's because I didn't put auto pay. I keep forgetting. I know, I forgot.
Caleb Hammer
So because you got a late fee because you forgot, you actually never had a late fee. Is that the mathematical equation?
Dom
No, I just forget that I get late fees if I don't add auto pay. But majority of all my stuff is auto pay.
Caleb Hammer
So to be extra clear, a late fee because I forgot about the payment equals I've never had late fees. That's the mathematical equation.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay.
Dom
To kind of make sense, but. Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
What is it called again? Smile.
Dom
Yeah, my dentist offers it and I got my wisdom tea pulled out.
Caleb Hammer
So I like to tell you guys exactly what I'm doing with my own money, my own investing and things like that. And a lot of you know that I was investing in an app called Moomoo for a while. That's where I was doing my brokerage trades. But honestly, I decided I kind of wanted to move on from the over complexity because it should just be simple, honestly. So I decided to search far and wide for a new partner to work with, to move my portfolio over and to trade out of an inconsistent basis. And I picked webull because they have a great reputation online. So I got with them and I was like, okay, I'm going to switch my stuff over. And a lot of people in the audience, maybe they want to switch their stuff over as well because they kind of like to follow what I do when I put my money places. So we worked with them and we negotiated some incredible signup benefits and transfer benefits if you decide to use webull. It is incredible. It is such an upgrade of a platform. And I wish I did this a year ago or so. And I feel dumb that I didn't. So here it is right here in the description. You can see you get a 200 to $30,000 cash bonus when you sign up or transfer. Also, 12 months of Wall Street Journal Premium, a 3.5 IRA match and 30 Weeble Premium. So listen, this is such an upgrade. I feel like an idiot again that I haven't done this forever ago. That's where I moved and I think that's where you should move as well. Check it out. Top of the resources section in the description below. Yeah. Interest accruing 41. What?
Dom
I didn't want to go to Mexico again because I went to Mexico for my other wisdom tea. It was like 150. It was cheap.
Caleb Hammer
$1,196 is held on here. Interest is accrued. 41, 48 minimum payment. Seven years to pay off. Why do this for seven years?
Dom
I'm not going to do it for seven years.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, except that's exactly.
Dom
I think the interest rate starts after 12 months.
Caleb Hammer
It is interest accruing right now. What are you talking about?
Dom
Really?
Caleb Hammer
That's what they said. Really? Yes. Well, let me see that. Actually, sorry. Maybe that was fees. I apologize. Yeah, that was the late fee. That was the late fee. Guys, reminder. I'm going to pay this off earlier. How am I doing that? By paying less. Wait and get in extra charges. Please make that make sense. And you're right, it is interest free for an al.
Financial Audit Assistant
Shut the.
Caleb Hammer
It was an accident. Which is why we've had three this year.
Dom
Those are all accidents. I just got.
Caleb Hammer
You're broken. You're never gonna get anywhere. I'm so sorry. I know I'm being rude, but it's true. I don't give a. I should have did all right away. It's true. In about a year, the interest will.
Dom
Accrue unless they pay it off within the.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, good. Interest. You're not going to because you're late. Shut the up. I don't know how you've survived this so far this year. This life. Interest is accruing like mad. PayPal credit. What's going on with this?
Dom
Clothes or shoes?
Caleb Hammer
Oh, clothes. Not closed. Okay, $1,094 and 7 cents. And on here you're just getting Chewy's. Chewy can be expensive, depending on what you're getting. What are you getting on chewy?
Dom
80 my dog food. It's a 40 pound bag of dog food.
Caleb Hammer
What is this? Deferred named. What is named?
Dom
Named Collective.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, I don't know. It was 153.35.
Dom
Yeah, it was a sweater.
Caleb Hammer
Come on. So do we want to get out of debt or are we getting sweaters? Because so far it just seems sweaters and bull. Less than $240 of purchases on here when you only made $150. Payment minimum monthly is 33. Like it says, this takes 7 years to pay off. Some of these are deferred interest, but also interest is already accruing. So clearly some from the past aren't. 23.67 are occurring. 28. Some are currently 30. This one's at 30. The one that's live. That expires.
Financial Audit Assistant
That expires in a couple months.
Caleb Hammer
You're not. You're never gonna. Yeah, Dude, I don't know. This is a mess.
Dom
What expires?
Caleb Hammer
And it's one of them. One of your deferreds. You have deferreds. And obviously you never pay them off until and before the deferred interest hits. You never do that. How do I know?
Financial Audit Assistant
Because interest hits.
Caleb Hammer
You have interest hitting constantly. 140 bucks in interest this year so far. PayPal credit's dangerous for you to have because it's so easy to just finance things. Speaking of dangerous for you to have. Affirm.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
What are you doing?
Dom
Close Lashify.
Caleb Hammer
Pull out your affirm notice. This is Amazon. This is Amazon right here. Pull out your affirm.
Dom
Let me see. I don't think I have the app.
Caleb Hammer
So you just go on the website?
Dom
Yeah. Why should I have that?
Caleb Hammer
No. Pull up at your Amazon app, though. Who knows what you want? Affirm right now.
Dom
Hold on, let me see. I can log in really fast.
Caleb Hammer
157. I'm gonna call it $157 with a 78 minimum payment. Pull up your Amazon.
Dom
Ma'.
Financial Audit Assistant
Am.
Dom
Give me.
Caleb Hammer
Pull up your Amazon.
Financial Audit Assistant
Pull up your Amazon.
Caleb Hammer
Oh, my gosh, lady, listen, I'm moving the show along. Move up your Amazon.
Dom
Just give.
Caleb Hammer
Just give. I can do it. I can pull up apps. Pull the mic to your face. Okay, you moved your face to the mic, but that's okay.
Dom
What?
Caleb Hammer
Naked Essentials. Dry food for dogs. You already get shiff on Chewies. There's more dog food?
Dom
No, but listen.
Caleb Hammer
Amazon Fresh store. 11 things in the cart. Sake.
Dom
What are they?
Caleb Hammer
Protein smoothie. Protein things. Necklace. More of those interesting netflixes. Sectional couch covers. Coffee mugs. We really need.
Dom
I really need a back massager.
Caleb Hammer
Awesome. Like my daughter. Are you a mother?
Dom
No, that's for my dad. I didn't buy it.
Caleb Hammer
Couch cushion covers. Couch cushion covers. A heat press machine. No, no, don't do it. Don't invest into this business. Don't invest into this business yet. You're not there. You're not there. Do not invest into this. Please don't. Please.
Dom
Okay, not yet.
Caleb Hammer
Not yet. Yes, exactly. Not yet. You just have so much debt. What the fuck is this? What app is this? What are you getting? Fashion and dolls kill in Nike. Is it Klarna?
Dom
Yeah, I think so.
Caleb Hammer
Good. What? Huh? What?
Dom
I'm just laughing because. Oh my God, it's a lot and.
Caleb Hammer
You think it's cute.
Dom
It's not.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, Klarna. You'll be Clara and doordash before you know it. Trust me. $674.03. It's your balance with a minimum payment DoorDash of $274.39. And then interest is hitting. Of course.
Dom
Really? There's interest in that?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes.
Dom
Yes what?
Caleb Hammer
Welcome to how they make money.
Dom
What do you mean what I mean? Yeah, but that's 36 cents.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah, but this is just going. If you were paying interest instead of fact.
Dom
Yeah, about 36 cents.
Caleb Hammer
You're going to live at home forever. Literally forever.
Dom
It's fine.
Caleb Hammer
Ulta beauty card. It's fine. Exactly. I don't know why the I'm talking.
Dom
What's wrong? You just said there's nothing wrong with that and then now you're saying there's something wrong with that.
Caleb Hammer
Context. Context. A lot of other cultures do it. But you're only doing it because you want to just spend. No, but you do. You spend way more than you make. That is objectively true.
Dom
Okay, so what the are you talking about?
Caleb Hammer
So you can build your business, your make believe business that you've never done, so you can do a worthless degree.
Dom
Family.
Caleb Hammer
My parents are living at home and having independence and making progress in your life.
Dom
But when I was trying to do.
Caleb Hammer
That big city, you can live in a lot of. Yes. Because you can't manage finances. Because you're incapable of maturity. Because you're incapable of maturity.
Dom
I'm not educated in it.
Caleb Hammer
No, no, listen. I'LL put you through our budgeting program. I'll get you in Dollar wise Central, where you get all of our classes, including all future classes. Okay? It saves 80% for these guys, but you get it for free. So take all our budgeting class, investing class, debt class, real estate class, recession class, everything you can do. And take advantage of the budgeting app. That'll actually teach you if we're going to use the I was uneducated excuse if we're gonna use that. You can get educated, but that is also stupid. You can figure out rent. You can figure out rent. Dude. You didn't go into debt because you lived on your own. You went into debt because you're incapable of acting mature and telling yourself no.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Interest is accruing on here. You owe $233.79 with a minimum monthly payment of $30. Interest is accruing, takes nine months to pay off. It's at a 31.24 interest rate. What a joke.
Dom
Nine months?
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dom
I could pay that first.
Caleb Hammer
Stupid loans. Are you kidding? You overdraft every second of life. And this is. This is. This brings us back to the beginning of the conversation.
Dom
Hmm.
Caleb Hammer
It's not you. Living on your own is what got you into debt. You're still overdrafting. Now you're going further into debt via overdrafting because you have an overdraft loan. That is so stupid. Do you hear that? Overdraft alone. Yeah, I shouldn't be saying those words.
Dom
Then why did they give that?
Caleb Hammer
That is your immaturity and inability to control your spending or maturity. This is so stupid. Okay. Overdraft loan.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Wait, no. We start with the personal loan. There's a personal loan? Why do you have a personal loan of $7,942?
Dom
Because I took it out to pay my other loans.
Caleb Hammer
What loans?
Dom
I mean, not my loans, my debt. But then. So the credit cards.
Financial Audit Assistant
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen.
Caleb Hammer
Why you should never do that. Are you kidding me? You did it before. Change your behavior. Now we're right back where we were. Except we have double the debt now. It's so moronic.
Dom
Do you want to know something else?
Caleb Hammer
Honestly? No.
Dom
Okay, cool. So. Probably pissed you off even more.
Caleb Hammer
What?
Dom
I got a personal loan before that was 10k too. And I paid it off. And then a few months after, I think or six months, another one.
Caleb Hammer
Why do you do the things that you do? 287 minimum monthly payment and 82 cents. When did you take this out? This balance is substantial. The interest rate is horrendous at 16 and the payment is horrible. And it's stacking monumentally.
Dom
When did I take it out? I think February if I don't even trust you.
Caleb Hammer
Whatever. Yeah, 90. Payment is due on the overdraft fee. That one's sitting at 2,908. 81 cents. So ridiculous. With an interest rate of 18%. 18%. Horrible overdraft. You've overdraft up to 4,000. $3,000. I would be embarrassed. I would be disgusted. I am in fact, disgusted.
Dom
It could be worse.
Caleb Hammer
Shut the up. Barely. Barely. Just because it's worse doesn't mean it should be good. You think that's okay? You. It's not okay. Then why would you say it could be worse? What's the point of saying that? What's the point of saying that?
Dom
Can you make myself feel better?
Caleb Hammer
There it is. So you can sleep at night when honestly you should be working and paying off debt and stressing about it.
Dom
Shouldn't sleep.
Caleb Hammer
I'm not saying that. But you're just saying that as a cope. And then you're never making any progress because you tell yourself that and then you're okay. You're not okay and you shouldn't be okay. You shouldn't be telling yourself you're okay. You're not okay. You're a mess. You're a disaster or joke. And you should be taking every nuclear option necessary to pay off this debt.
Dom
Okay? What? Not eat or eat less? Or not eat out and not buy stuff?
Caleb Hammer
We've already been through this. Shut up. I'm not talking. I'm not talking you through that. I've already answered that question, okay? I'm not wasting my time in vocal cords and breath and oxygen on that dumb. Stop.
Dom
That's fine.
Caleb Hammer
Great. You have a Volkswagen Beetle?
Dom
Yes. She's cute.
Caleb Hammer
You owe $7,463.26. Minimum monthly payment. 305. What is the interest? Do you know the interest? Would you know the interest?
Dom
No, I don't.
Caleb Hammer
You actually not know.
Dom
I don't.
Caleb Hammer
You really don't know? Oh, we don't know the interest rate either. So I'm guessing it's not good because you don't have credit. What do you think the worth is? What do you think it's worth?
Dom
The interest rate?
Caleb Hammer
The car. Oh, interest rates aren't worth something?
Dom
How much it's worth now? Well, where I bought it.
Financial Audit Assistant
What's the car.
Caleb Hammer
How much do you think it's worth now?
Dom
Like 13,000?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes. No.
Dom
13,000. And I bought it for 17.
Caleb Hammer
You owe $7463. And you think it's worth 13. It is worth 7500. Technically, it is worth what you owe. I don't know what the interest rate.
Dom
Is probably more like.
Caleb Hammer
It's probably horrendous. And I don't need to know, but it's probably horrendous. Listen, this isn't the absolute worst, but for stacking up against all your other debt, it's stupid. And I bet the interest rate actually makes. Actually does make it absolutely horrible.
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
This is sad. I'm just. I'm very disappointed in this conversation. I'm very disappointed in this conversation.
Dom
Why.
Caleb Hammer
Push through and here we arrive to the student loans for the special degree.
Dom
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Okay, so listen, the 8,000. $8,813.40. It's not. I don't want to use the. It's not the worst because that's what you guys use for your detriment. But that's. Listen, $40,000 is the median. That's the average student loans that people graduate with, right?
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
And for 40% of people who borrow for student loans drop out. At least you graduated. You finish it. Easy to agree. It helps. But you did do it, and we do like to see that. And student loans is lower. And again, they're actually all below 4% interest rate. So I'm not freaking out about these, but what's your payment?
Dom
My pay?
Caleb Hammer
I.
Dom
Sorry, I. Lady, I got scared the court.
Caleb Hammer
You got scared? Yeah.
Dom
Because you're going to be like another late payment.
Caleb Hammer
What's your payment on this?
Dom
$87.
Caleb Hammer
And that sounds close to about right?
Dom
Yeah.
Caleb Hammer
Yeah. Okay. I mean, I don't know. You didn't send me a statement of your account. You just sent me a screenshot. Of what? You sent me a screenshot of the website. So I can't see your payment history. I can't see if you've had late payments.
Dom
I'm being honest with you.
Caleb Hammer
So you were lying at the beginning.
Dom
I thought you were.
Caleb Hammer
You actually lying at the beginning?
Dom
I said you called liars. I was lying, but I didn't know. Yeah, we came through it.
Financial Audit Assistant
It.
Caleb Hammer
That's so moronic.
Dom
I forget.
Caleb Hammer
Late pen. They'll garnish your wages.
Dom
I forgot.
Caleb Hammer
They'll garnish.
Dom
Do you remember there was a pause?
Financial Audit Assistant
Yes.
Caleb Hammer
Yes.
Dom
And then the pause finished like a.
Financial Audit Assistant
Year and a half ago.
Dom
I forgot about it.
Financial Audit Assistant
It's been a year and a stupid.
Dom
So I had to pay, I think like 262 because of that.
Financial Audit Assistant
Good.
Caleb Hammer
You deserve it.
Dom
Yeah, and I did pay it.

In this episode, Caleb Hammer sits down with Dom, a 30-year-old budtender from Los Angeles, whose personal finances are described as “historic” for all the wrong reasons. Dom presents with over $46,000 in debt, a history of financial avoidance, and treats much of her situation lightly—aggravating Caleb and pushing the conversation into both comical and critical territory. The episode thoroughly explores lifestyle, income, debt, and the psychological factors driving Dom’s financial struggles.
“So you went to school for four years… and now you’re a cashier again.” – Caleb (06:13)
“You have a $3,000 overdraft loan. It is a joke. It is disgusting.” – Caleb (27:08)
Dom repeatedly downplays the seriousness of her financial situation, at times laughing or treating it as a joke, which intensifies Caleb’s frustration.
“I’m being positive about it.” – Dom ([00:08], [25:45])
“You’re living at home for two years and still spend $1000 more than you make. What is wrong with you?” – Caleb (35:15)
“You should be doing everything in your life to try to turn this around for the sake of your own life.” – Caleb (27:44)
“Your words mean nothing. Your actions are so beyond counter what you say you want.” – Caleb (42:08)
“You’re a failure. You can turn it around, and I hope you do. But to think that this is anything other than a failure would be doing you a disservice.” – Caleb (36:20)

This episode epitomizes a combination of millennial financial struggle, avoidance, and the hard realities of consumer debt. Caleb’s approach—a mix of comedy, stern reality checks, and actionable suggestions—highlights both the causes and consequences of chronic overspending and avoidance. Dom, while lighthearted and often dismissive, faces a pivotal choice: continue justifying and deflecting, or follow through on advice and fundamentally change her life trajectory.
For listeners in a similar position:
“You say what you want, but then everything you do literally only does the opposite and takes you further away from it.” – Caleb (42:08)
