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
- Has sunk at least 20k into this
26:33 150% utilization on credit cards!!!!
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
Been recently building up hardware collection, started out on software but moved onto hardware
34:00 Hidden car debt....
Car loan
More than 60% paid off
4% rate
Cosign on the initial purchase, refinanced under his own
2018 Chevy
35:31 Do you even have a financial future at this point?
29:50 Are you willing to sacrifice at all?!
Mostly backstory stuff
Had some health problems during the moving job which made him quit
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
Long defense of the brother because the brother has helped him out bigly in the past?
50:22 Broke forever...
52:35 Hammer Financial Score

Says the Nordstream terrorist who brings the world to the brink of nuclear war to prevent a multipolar order that will inevitably end the US prosperity that was based on global theft & bullying? Americans will be poor and miserable because of corrupt US politicians, not winning. https://t.co/wWsk1zUqoG

I've given up on life and am wasting away.
I can't do that under someone else's roof since I won't ask them to support me, so I need to leave and never come back.
I have no job (because I got laid off back in February) and no prospects (just several interviews with tests that never lead to a job offer). Applied to 250 jobs and my unemployment is running out. My savings is depleted, I'm 210 pounds, losing my hair, and am a general waste of oxygen.
I need to go somewhere where I don't have to pay a dime: just lay there until I finally die since killing myself is against the law for some stupid reason.
I'm fine with whatever comes with being in either (being drugged, being assaulted, being robbed) because at least it's a free hot and a cot.
Best advice on where to waste away without having to spend a dime: psych ward or homeless shelter?
The sooner I can be an unidentified toe tag, the better.
Any "it's gets better", "find God/Jesus" nonsense will be ignored.
Feel free to give me tough love, though. That's always a reliable reminder that I'm a roach.
