35 Year Old Purpetual Student - Til Debt Do Us Part - Student Of Debt

[@erikab178]

I feel bad for her. He is unbelievably lazy and entitled. He wants to teach so he can have summers off? He wants to be a dentist so he can set his own hours? He’s 35 years old, lives at home for free and doesn’t help his parents with yard work? Still working on a bachelors at that age? It seems clear that all of his decisions are around putting in the least amount of effort possible

[@jenniferwang3489]

I agree. And it’s no picnic to be safe n that situation. Summers off means you don’t get paid, unless you take a pay cut to be paid less but receive a check every month. It takes extra planning to be a 9 or 10 month employee.

[@FionaApplewright]

[@nicoleworkman3142]

Right?! The sad thing is how much of his laziness and entitlement was caused by his parents. How much better they did on the golf course challenge should tell them how much they failed him, but instead they just laugh and celebrate the fact that their kid is struggling to understand and calculate the everyday expenses in the challenge.

[@secondhandrooms507]

They are Mormon. Culturally he was very old in getting married. 23-26 years old is average for men. They likely feared he was never going to get married… them saying “that” daughter in law likely meant they really love her or just excited to get one in general.

They just really like their daughter-in-law. You are reading way too much into what she said - there was no such implication.

it's just sad. there's absolutely nothing wrong with finishing an undergrad as an adult, but ultimately if you're getting a free ride from your parents and have a supportive spouse, your focus should absolutely be entirely on finishing quickly and learning as much as you can. it seems like he just kind of wants to drag it out. maybe i'm just projecting here since my partner and i both worked full time jobs through college, so it's frustrating to see someone who's lucky enough to JUST focus on school take advantage of the opportunity.

[@christinebutler7630]

Nothing wrong with it if you were doing doing something else worthwhile between 18-32. Raising kids, military service, or another career that didn't work out and required you to retread....those are all decent reasons for being an undergrad in middle age.

@16:11 working and cleaning the house aren’t ’challenges’ for normal people- that’s part of every day life 🙄 By the looks of that painted portrait on the wall at the end, Chris is the youngest of four and the only boy. I guess that’s why he’s so spoiled.

[@CampsitePyro]

Dang. Just work somewhere and live at home with the folks. You’d be rolling in the dough

[@vt-yp7yq]

Unbelievable. He needs to go to a two year RN program instead. Why in the world would he get married and then she gets pregnant??

[@valerieleidal7594]

Here in North America credit card companies are now focused on getting kids hooked on credit cards, always see the commercials aimed at the kids! Unless they have parents who use credit cards wisely, like paying it off every month, there are going to be millions more trapped in credit card debt!

[@vivianblack2951]

I worked many years at a Canadian university. The credit card companies are the first ones to set up their tables at the start of any semester.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

@@vivianblack2951 That's on the university to prohibit such activities. It would be like Marlboro setting up a stall in a hospital parking lot and giving out free samples.

[@judymcpheron5955]

Yikes, Gail to the rescue just in time. 👏👏

[@renafielding945]

I thought for a minute this was a puerperal student and I was intrigued.

[@corielake828]

I hate the excuse " it was difficult to complete the challenges with work and chores"

[@vanessat.8633]

It would be so interesting to get an update on these people.

[@karforeman1556]

I really hope that he grew up, otherwise she and that kid(s) are back in the Philippines.

[@neilmoryson]

I always got gay vibes from this guy. The mail order bride isn’t helping to dispel that feeling either.

[@sneakerfreak2002]

He would’ve been cute back in the day but the no backbone and lack of character/ personality is a complete turn off

[@tashapasha2995]

Yen definitely is his beard.

[@sarahconner9433]

You hit the nail on the head

[@Frissdas1207]

Mail order bride is pretty derogatory. If anything, he's a mail order husband.

[@monsieurfortuna9952]

He is a dentist now! Drives luxury car and lives in large mansion! also he remarried and has a younger wife now

[@pierrecaron8731]

Daddy bought his son a mail order bride.

[@purpurina5663]

Yeah in the beginning he lets it slip sort of when he says "anything to get that daughter in law". Homeboy was unsellable

[@alexxx7066]

Great parents 👏 👍🏻

[@mariahsmom9457]

(Perpetual) This is a great show!

[@WantonBaby]

Backyard pool No rent She makes $20K Count me inn !!

[@shortmashins4031]

Hes lucky his parents are still alive

[@andrewf.1598]

This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone not get the full $5,000

[@justine8387]

There has been a few, always hilarious.

[@LeMErin21]

There have been several who haven’t made the full $5k. I think there are even a couple who got $0.

[@CaraMarie13]

In her culture, the parents take care of the kid... boy, in countries like the Philippines, the children start contributing to the household very early on. People live together because it's financially impossible to move out. He should have gotten on an accelerated program to graduate early and start working immediately. His parents did this manchild such a disservice. I don't even feel bad for them. They did this to themselves.

[@mfinchina__117]

I guarantee he sent her pictures of the house before they got married and led her to believe it was his house, not that it was his parents' and he was living in the basement.

[@JPKnapp-ro6xm]

Marriage to him is a lot to pay for her green card (or whatever they call it in Canada).

[@bunnylover6481]

He had to of fed her a bunch of crap to get her to marry him. Not what Yen thought how she would be living. He probably told her he was just living with his parents as a temporary situation.

[@mesmerize3965]

My advice is to give up your credit card for a while. Ask credit counseling or national debt consolidation or last resort file a bankruptcy it may hurt 7 years, and you start a new fresh life. We all have debt because what we want and do not need. Learn from mistakes and use all tools to track everything. This couple is so lucky to have parents who helped place to live and house bill. I was out on mom house at age 19 years to start working and go to school.

[@xclientsXclients]

$10,000 dollar wedding and $399.00 divorce kit. done

[@nancycozier4018]

I totally agree!

[@happylife7542]

When home girl thought she hit the green card/ citizenship jackpot. No offense he is a passport bro。

[@thegreenmanofnorwich]

He wants to complete an undergraduate degree and then go to dental school? I don't know what Canada is like, but dentistry here in the UK is incredibly competitive, amd it takes a long time to qualify. I'm not sure how realistic that is when there's about to be a baby to take care of. I'm glad they seemed much more "on it" at the end. I was actually a bit surprised that she didn't give the whole 5k, as though he's not an outwardly vigorous man, it seems like they both tried hard.

[@nariskotchg7598]

Where’s all the cash going? Someone has a secret habit of some sort…………..

[@dannsherstone1037]

Why wasn't he confronted over that cash withdrawal?

[@krys8830]

he makes me want to run to the hills

[@RareJewel777]

Gail @18:53 was not letting that slide 😂😂

[@davidwright873]

I have an idea...He should get a job....WOW!!! shocking...i know....

[@denisebarker9288]

I'm sure the parents are shaking their heads wondering how did he get this way. Mom stepped in and will make sure he is on the straight and narrow.

[@raew5263]

Gail summed it up at 5:41 - “Grow up!” Definitely he’s taking advantage of his parents. Pathetic 😜 Be a man; graduate + start earning.

[@annkirshner4468]

Eh, all he has to do is wait for nature to take its course. That's his plan

[@jeanc819]

You nailed it!

[@MrsEJV]

It’s “Perpetual “. Spelling errors on tags really jump out.

Chris's Father looks like Late Soap Actor Jerry Ver Dorn (1948-2022) who played Attorney Ross Marler on Guiding Light from 1979-2004.
