Some of this might be wrong, but I think I got most of the interesting points. Dude's dug himself a pit and there's not going to be any good way out of it, I think. It's split up based on the timestamps in his description
00:00 Does he even know how much money he makes?
Weird stuff at the beginning where he doesn't want to show his eyes, location or age.
Works at a tesla factory
Financial situation is "pretty wonky"
06:11 Tax fraud?
Left last job because he didn't want to get vaxxed
Didn't waste money paying taxes on the interim job
08:49 Weird expenses?
Two credit cards
$358 in road tolls, includes late fees? He stalled them to the point of being threatened with court?
10:11 You have NO MONEY!!!
$3049 in, $5000 out
"I've been... you could say... investing"
"I used to budget" "I've maxed all my credit cards" "I used to have thousands money in my savings. All those thousands absolutely gone." "I had to close my savings, in fact I didn't close it myself, the bank just completely deleted it."
11:43 Rent is 60% of his income
"Undisciplinary actions on a mutual basis when it comes to sharing rent, for sure"
- His former roommate (family member, brother) ditched him and left him with the lease
Back and forth about whether the roommate is in fact fricking him over by leaving him with the rent bill
- The answer seems to be a Yes but apparently it's consensual
Lease ends in a few months
17:53 You have NO MONEY!!! p2
19:53 Going massively into debt for a dream
Big money spent on audio equipment, paying in installments
Learning audio engineering
Just finished paying off a second(?) $1200 subwoofer
Splurged a little on audio software plugins
"I've had chances to make money but I did not at the time receive money"
- He refused payment because he wasn't satisfied with the quality of his own product
Believes he will make a thousandfold return on investment

31:54 DebtCHAOS
One is over $5400 and the other is $2697
$1700 over his credit limit, they're still letting him purchase on it
- $129 interest on that in November? Not sure I heard this right
"Once I learned I could [spend over the credit card limit] it kinda just set this mentality that I could just do it and then pay it off"
$6 under the credit limit on the other one
Got declined on a $1 purchase
0% interest until early spring on Credit Card 2

Mostly backstory stuff

Been cutting back on fast food
41:51 Clean up this MESS
44:03 Rent is 60% of his income p2
roughly 1900 on rent on a roughly 50k income? Not certain I heard this one right

Sobstory from an ITcuck, there's probably a heart-wrenching story about him being a single father but this one's kinda pathetic not only because he's somehow 100k in the hole but he's probably making ~80k in a relatively low-cost area and likely to bump up a bit with that Master's.
Yazan Alswaeer, 38, of New Castle, Pennsylvania
Total debt: $118,000
Occupation: IT system administrator
Education: Pittsburgh Technical College; Capella University
Prior monthly payment: n/a
Alswaeer expects to receive his master’s degree in information technology in December, some nine years after the Jordanian native arrived in the United States. The proposed $20,000 relief would’ve been a drop in the single father’s debt bucket, but now he’s desperately emailing the White House for help. “I have no plan,” Alswaeer told The Post. “My plan is I am not going to make payments.” Biden’s campaign promise to forgive tuition-related federal student debt was the “only reason” Alswaeer voted for the Democrat.
“With the school debt that I have, there’s no way I will ever think about buying a house or settling down,” he said. “It hurts seeing many Americans suffering financially while a great country such as ours has the resources it needs to make every American live a decent life.”
Special Ed teacher who at nearly 40 somehow still has fifty-six thousand remaining to pay off
Heather Helton, 39, of Warsaw, Indiana
Total debt: $56,000
Occupation: Special education teacher
Education: Grace College; Indiana Wesleyan University
Prior monthly payment: $137
Helton said her debt servicer, the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority, is expecting a $349 payment in December rather than January – a month earlier than other borrowers. Known as MOHELA, the quasi-government agency became the sole provider for debtors pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness nationwide this past summer.
Helton, who has had five different loan providers since graduating in 2006, said she feels duped having to deal with yet another loan company. Helton added that she “absolutely” plans to stop paying down her sizable balance — along with a 6% interest rate.
“This was a federal con artist operation,” she told The Post. “They knew exactly what they were doing and it caused a lot of false hopes.”
Helton previously intended to fully repay her loans, but she’s now mulling alternatives like lobbying local politicians or “blasting social media” for help. “Something needs to give,” she said.
31 year old NEET King who is refusing to pay.
Nicholas Linkey, 31, of Providence, Utah
Total debt: $25,000
Occupation: Unemployed
Education: Utah State University; University of the People
Prior monthly payment: $300
Linkey said he’s “had enough” of the whirlwind debt rigmarole and says Biden could easily cancel the total debt using executive action granted in the Higher Education Act of 1965, but “never really intended” to do so, he said. Linkey also wants to see loans fully dischargeable in all bankruptcy cases rather than in cases where borrowers can prove their payments cause undue hardship.
“Absolutely not,” Linkey said when asked if he’ll buck up and pay. “I’m not gonna feed this monster anymore. I’m done. This loan thing is done.”
Linkey predicts many other borrowers will go on a “mass strike” like himself while sending Washington a clear message.
“People have had enough,” he said, speculating that Biden will be forced to extend the payment moratorium. “We’re done paying into it and done with the burdens of these loans.”
This one's a Business Analyst, allegedly. No idea what she means with her borrower defense discharge but it sounds like a renthog cope the same way the "eviction process" does.
Christina Winton, 47, of Glendale, Arizona
Total debt: $29,000
Occupation: Business analyst
Education: Southern Utah University; University of Phoenix
Prior monthly payment: $200
Winton, a business analyst for a state agency, blasted the student loan lending system as unconstitutional and illegal as her borrower defense loan discharge application remains under review by the Department of Education.
Discharge claims help debtors who believe schools misled them or engaged in other illegal practices get some or all of their federal student loan debt expunged. Applicants may stay in forbearance after the Dec. 31 payment pause ends, according to the Department of Education.
