Brandon on the other hand has been an adult well over a decade now. Just hearing Jessilyn talk/explain her way through everything gives us a snapshot of what Brandon hears every time finances/money are discussed. He needs to wear the pants in the household and say "no". But he can't because he's got to spend money on his BS too. Yes, they have a kid (which makes this even worse but hopefully give them motivation) and Brandon has alimony for another kid (which makes this even worser). What's funny is they could have lived like this for years. It's took a major emergency (Jessilyn quitting her job AND car sales being in the bust phase for Brandon) to highlight the insanity.

A $60k car is too much and she need something cheaper, but decent used cars are so overpriced right now. I bought a new car in 2018 my cousin bought the exact same car used last year and paid more than I did. With 40k miles I’ve only loss $4k in value.

[@andrealinda6069]

All that in 1 year together is INSANE. Immaturity is a huge problem here. She's 11 years younger than him. She was considered a kid like 3-4 years ago. She probably thought of the 120k a year income as being way more than it is. It IS a huge income for someone at 21 to have access to. I hate to point the finger at her so much... but her 60k SUV, her apple watch, the BABY's IPad (my kid's have $30 kindles), her $65 nail sets, her subscriptions.. She went crazy for an entire year. He didn't stop it. I assume he helped accrue it, it can't be all her. I'm not sure she really soaked all this in though. She came for help with solutions of her own to argue for and doesn't seem interested in getting rid of their biggest monthly expense... her extremely expensive car. I don't know any 21 year olds driving a 60k car, jeez. It was pretty amazing to air it all out for everyone. You gotta commend them for doing this. I wouldn't have the balls. This video will probably help others. Good luck guys.

That assumes everything goes well and there are no complications. Most costs are paid by insurance if the mom has coverage, or welfare if the family is low income and the state has such a program. But if a woman has no job she has no employer provided insurance and can't pay for her own policy, and if she can't be added to her husband's plan or a parent's plan (someone has to pay those premiums) that's why medical loans happen.
