Going into this, I was Not expecting them to have such high living expenses in an RV. I haven’t emotionally recovered from this budget yet. 😬

‘Budget’ laughable

[@MaryThiboudeax]

$2200/mo with a wife and child???? He needs to grow up and get a job. I doubt they’ll be together long because she’s going to want more stability once the baby gets school age.

[@FunInTheSun808]

$12,000 a month= $145,000 a year. They make $93,000 a year.Something doesn’t add up in their budget. Crazy stupid that they spent $2,800 on food. They gotta learn to cook. Time for this guy to get a job. He doesn’t need to go to school for photography. They can’t afford it.

[@RealtorDanielMedina]

He served in the military and was honorably discharged due to injury and she has OCD yet they are still trying. Living with disabilities yet not wanting to have a disabled life is not easy. Considering the recent experience with death, they seem to be living in the present while displaying potential growth for their daughter. I wish them the best of luck. A family like this simply needs to catch a break and not be judged. When he gets a good steady job, they’ll be unstoppable in their pursuit of happiness.

[@prettygirlus9008]

Wonder what the husband does with himself all day. If he's looking for work, as he says he is, then it seems like it would have to be a remote job. The wife is the primary breadwinner. If she loses her job, they're in big trouble.

[@jrbluedup]

[@AnimaLepton]

He's ex-military - maybe he has GI Bill funding or something for schooling?

[@_pitschool]

Typical BM pathology. This specific couple dynamic is a stereotypical BM/WW couple dynamic. He’s black & broke with an overweight WW partner & a biracial child. Typical. We’ve seen this before. He’s 28, so he’s young & she’s older than him. This compounds the problem. I suspected & knew he had little financial contribution or none at all when they spent so much time talking about her income & job. He had the nerve to have a problem with her wanting to do the “RV travel thing” when he doesn’t bring in no where near enough money. Most of “their” money comes from HER INCOME. They’ll break up, eventually. This dynamic is not healthy. She’ll grow to resent him & not respect him, if she even respects him now. And then, because he’s broken up with her, he’ll use that as a license to be a deadbeat father. I feel bad for the child because she suffers the most from this degenerate & dysfunctional situation.

[@maya_danielle]

@@_pitschool U are SPOT ON sis! Glad somebody said it! 😂

[@lenaprice6239]

I don't understand their long term plan. Living in an RV is not ideal because the RV is not an appreciating asset, like a home. They should have purchased a small house or condo. They are only saving 1K a month and have far too much credit card debt. They really need a solid financial plan.

[@cesmith48]

Hubby needs to go to work. He can build a Photography Business as a "Side Hustle" until the Business supports itself. Meanwhile, throw every dime of his Salary at their debt.

[@JNN170]

It’s cause he only makes 26,000 a year via his military money. She is leading this relationship which is why she has to foot the bill for it. Men are supposed to lead. Women just don’t get it. They shouldn’t have a payment for a car for $750, they should have a car that is paid off. SMH. They should have no debt.

[@JNN170]

If they could payoff a house in a nice Midwest neighborhood on bus stops, then they'd have no housing costs. This would allow them to have 3k per person groceries and everything else can go towards traveling. A week in most cities round-trip with hotels and food is $2500 for 3 people. You can basically calculate how many trips they can afford.... Using after tax income, they can afford 19 weeks a year of trips.... I'd recommend this life plan over what they're doing now....

[@dek1518]

The mom mentioned she doesn’t want their child to struggle but they seem to dig themselves deeper into debt, don’t have savings and he doesn’t have a single job to help at all.

[@sunshinexoxo6107]

Beautiful family. Wishing them the best. Over 100k in vehicle and credit card debt with only 15k is not good. Would be more beneficial to get rid of the credit card debt immediately and budget better. Try to see what can be reduced. The food bill can no doubt be split in half to 1500. In 3 months, they would have saved up the $ in baby's account and more. Also, they need to set up an emergency fund of at least 3 months expenses separate from regular savings. They will be alright.

@Question everything children don't cost that much if you're willing to be an active parent. Really just groceries. Most parents raised us on less than 3k yearly per child.

[@molahi5779]

There's only one guy in this story. No need to refer to him as "the black dude".

[@awb19892]

as much CC debt as they've given their kid in savings already. Using the CC to get points yet in debt... yeah, that's not why they're using it.

[@moff_gideon]

This is an expensive way to live. Idk how they can keep this up

[@charlottebreton6796]

Its great when the kid is young, but when she has to go to school and wants to make friends its going to be impossible. I dont think they should have had kids till they both had full time jobs and were finically stable.

[@IDFK__]

I agree. Having a kid when you want to live a “nomadic” almost carefree lifestyle is not ideal with children. They should of looked into a tiny home in a nice community in my opinion, at least that’s more realistic. Maybe, they do have that planned out since their child is still a baby (I hope😳).

[@topnftart]

Wow, this seems insane for me. Their housing costs are huuuge! Why don't downshift? On 60000$ they could by 2 apartments in Thailand or a good house and elite visa for 5 years. Or rent a house for 1000$ and save the rest. Her job is remote, they could live anywhere in the world. I spend 200$ a month on my condo living like a queen here in Pattaya.

I love all of the people in the comments that are so financially astute that they can critique these people. After all most American cannot afford a $400 emergency if they were to encounter one on any given month, but I’m sure each and everyone of you is an exception.

[@lenaprice6239]

$400 is such a minuscule amount of money.

[@SeeWonderHaveLive]

I hear ya! Some people need to figure out long term plans for real. Many ppl out there have not figured out if they have too many small kids, they need to work at home and put the time and do things differently. I have friends that spend more than they can count on the fashions for their kids or their activities but know all the while it is having a good family connection that helps you save. When I had my kid, my Mom was the one helping me out and their Mom was not able to provide. My Mom had the energy and was interested. I eventually gave him a home to live in but taught him to save by working smart

[@Tesla99]

I don’t think the people that can’t come up with 400 are the ones watching this video actually. If you have an opinion on this type of lifestyle then there’s an awareness we have with money. As I sit here with a corporate job, two side hustles, weekend gig and a e-commerce business I’m looking into and with no kids and not married and making 6figures. I think they need to take 20 steps back so they can take 50 steps forward. I think she’s making most of the decisions. Dude knows this isn’t good in the back of his mind. Buy a house build equity for 2yrs then sell it, rent rv out or sell it. This is too much movement going on to early in their lives.

Typical BM pathology. This specific couple dynamic is a stereotypical BM/WW couple dynamic. He’s black & broke with an overweight WW partner & a biracial child. Typical. We’ve seen this before. He’s 28, so he’s young & she’s older than him. This compounds the problem. I suspected he had little financial contribution or none at all when they spent so much time talking about her income & job. He had the nerve to have a problem with her wanting to do the “RV travel thing” when he doesn’t bring in no where near enough money. Most of “their” money comes from HER INCOME. They’ll break up, eventually. This dynamic is not healthy. She’ll grow to resent him & not respect him, if she even respects him now. And then, because he’s broken up with her, he’ll use that as a license to be a deadbeat father. I feel bad for the child because she’ll suffer the most from this degenerate & dysfunctional situation.

Please tell me you are saving your money in at least a MMA or a ROTH and Is the money for your daughter going into a 529 plan? Do you guys have life insurance? Jayln…please get some side hustles going and start bringing in some money to pay down the debt. You can put yourself on Airbnb experiences or another travel app and ppl can hire you as a freelance photographer to take pics of them when you’re in the same area as them.

We make $260k annually and don’t even bring in $12k monthly lol. Wtf.

[@ddavis8988]

It's not way more than 12k a month, but roughly in the highest tax area that should be at least 14k a month for married. 13k if single after taxes.
