I want to thank Caleb for getting down and dirty into my finances! I’m on track to killing my loan and credit card debt by January, I think I just needed the kick from an outside party. As for the comments regarding the housing situation, it’s not “cheap” of my boyfriends parents to swap rent payments for maintenance, it was the deal we made and it wasn’t specifically for maintenance, it was to allow breathing room to make the house a home. I talked with my boyfriend and we are putting off painting the house until my debt is paid! 🙌🏼 Also, I think there’s some confusion on the amount of debt I’m in, it’s $7k. While Caleb and many of comments mentioned, I was dragging my feet on paying it down once I got the salary increase, however it’s not crippling debt. Please stop calling me a train wreck. 🥺 Seeking help when there’s a problem is the first step, right? I’m excited to follow up with Caleb in 2023! Edit: I’ve read all your comments about credit and I’ve taken it to heart. When debt comes down, credit goes up so I won’t worry about until the debt is gone! I was raised to believe your credit score is essentially your societal worth, but if I’m not applying for loans, I don’t even need to think about it. 🥳

Hello! Former collections paralegal, so not official legal advice, just an observation. Just because a collection isn't on your credit does NOT mean you are not legally obligated to pay it. If it has become a lawsuit and there is a judgment against you, you owe that whether it's on your credit or not. It's on the creditor to report it to the credit bureau and a lot of them are lazy and just don't report it.

Few things: 1) She doesn’t need to worry about her credit score going up quickly because it’s not like she should be applying for any loans in the near or even distant future 2) with that, if she paid off her car, then she would see a slight dip but only temporarily because her utilization ratio drops which I’ve experienced first hand - system working against us - and 3) She is probably the first or second person you’ve interviewed that I think will actually follow through with that short term plan of paying off those first two loans you recommended. Excited to see this follow up! Also, just because her bf’s dad and him have the same name doesn’t mean the house is under her bf… they don’t share the same identity. That’s a little strange that her or her bf have that mindset that he has any equity in the house. Also, bf’s parents are millionaires but are making her pay $1500 until son’s lease is up?

The lack of headache that comes with driving an "old" car that you owe nothing on, is priceless. I drive a 17 year old Toyota Solara Convertible with 170K miles that I paid $4K for (I bought it with 140K)- mechanically the car was perfect. I spent an additional $500 on getting an Apple CarPlay Unit with a backup camera ( a very simple Sony XAV series unit), and now I have all the features I actually care about from a newer car. No need for fancy driverless assist technologies - it forces you to focus on the road yourself! These days, a car from the mid 2000s will still have decent safety features - my car has front and side airbags, as well as VSC and ABS - all the basics! It's just nice not having a headache of monthly car payments years down the road. You could instead, just save more money every month and actually feel like you're getting ahead. The money you save by not having car payments, gives you confidence that if anything mechanically bad happened to your car, you could comfortably afford repairs and properly maintain your car. I've driven my car for 3 years so far, and put 30K miles on it, and the only things I've had to do was change brakes and oil changes. But even if something major happened, like if the transmission hypothetically failed on my car, and it costed $2-3K for a rebuild - I'd be able to foot that bill and still come out ahead of owning an expensive newer car with a steeper depreciation curve.

The important factor in collections is the statute of limitations on debt, which in Texas is 4 years. If it's beyond that point, they won't be able to successfully sue you. They can still hound you for it, and they can even try to sue, but you just have to point out that the debt is time-barred and you win. The 7 years thing is just for a credit report, and it's 7 years after the collections account is delinquent, so it's actually closer to 7.5 years. What this means is that, even if a collections account shows up on your report, you might not even have to pay it. Yes, the score will continue to be damaged, but you can't be legally obligated to pay it off.

@@keithmorgan4883 any credit paid or not remains on your credit record for at least six years. (in the uk) what the collectors are hoping is that the person can't prove it's been paid - not everything would have been paid through a bank and they may not have had a notice that the debt was paid. In the main though, they were hoping that the person would be too afraid to argue and would just pay them and get them off their back. Even if they got the bank statements, it's maybe thirty or forty months they're looking at from 8 years ago. The collectors are hoping it's too much effort to do that. They outright lie and call friends and family looking for them, so the person will be shamed or threatened into just paying, while you're waiting to go to court if you're refusing to pay (and they're never going to take you to court, because there's nothing to take) so you have months of this harassment. One particular trick would be "You missed this one payment 8 years ago and now there's all this interest accrued and all our costs as well." They'd be arguing black was white with us when we called them, even if we could actually prove it. there was a lot of back and forth until, "Oh, clerical error, sorry."

Also, I once paid off a credit card where the interest was burying me, using most of my savings account. It was a hard decision but it was the only way to stop that snowball. 18 months later, my credit is nearly PERFECT, just buying stuff I need and paying it off immediately. And I can build up that savings account again. Caleb, you are totally saving lives here. Thanks for all you do!

Felt like Shayna was over complicating finances and keeping herself in a hole. When it comes to personal finance, finding the easiest, most simple systems are generally the best. Prioritizing getting out of debt is key. Once you’re out of debt, the increase in credit score will come. Stay out of debt, then prioritize saving money. Set up direct deposit from your job. Have it divided between a checking account and savings account. Everything Caleb was saying about not touching the savings and also directing money into investments, but not necessarily into the company you work at, is sooooo wise!!! You da best, Caleb!

36:17 "Giving money to people you don't even like" You are doing that every time you borrow. The only worthwhile loan is a mortgage because you are building equity while using it. Your car, furniture, computer won't do that. They will just cost you money and degrade. Stop spending until all your debt is gone. Make a budget and only spend what your budget allows. Do cheap stuff in your house like movie night, card games, yoga. Make your own tasty food instead of going out to eat. Act your wealth: broke

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that they need to finance a car to afford a car that is reliable. That’s not the case.

Honestly you can get into something reliable for less. Seek out advice from friends or family that you trust who know cars to help you find something reliable for a good price.

Interest rate, finance charge - what the loan will cost if you make the minimum loan payment for the term, amount financed - amount of the loan you’re taking out, and The Total of payments - how much all of those minimum payments will add up to if you pay the full loan term. They will be in every loan doc if anyone provides them. Very important for people accepting loans to understand this part and what it means.

However, I have a few friends selling their cars and used car dealers are saying that there is an influx of inventory coming in before the end of the year and so they're not going to be paying a lot of money for used cars anymore. So SELL your cars now, before the car market hits another turn.

That's of course the most efficient way, and what I would do if I had multiple loans in roughly the same size. Although if the loans was very different size, let's say if I put all money I could into the two loans one could be payed of in two months the other two years. Then I'd pay of the small one first, at least if the interest rates was not very far apart like 2% and 20%, to release cashflow and reduce complexity and risk of missing a payment by mistake. So in that case I'd be fine with paying of a 2% interest loan before an 6% loan.
