    He gets paid $8800/month to not work and the wife is in a MLM. And they can't make it on $8800/month?! Sounds like a couple of folks who don't want to eliminate any luxuries or have wifey reporting to a boss instead of "owning her own business". Just pay your dang bills and stop eating out and taking vacations!

      Don’t think he is necessarily eating out and taking vacations. He made bad financial decisions when he quit work. High interest rate loans. That is difficult to get out of. He pays out more than he brings in. I agree with sell the car and have the wife get a job. But everyone that thinks he is just blowing his money may be wrong . His question was legitimate. Pay 4 k on debt but what about other bills ie rent utilities etc

    • @loriej9297
      @loriej9297 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +24

      Maybe. But the largest chunk of his disability earnings come from the military. That chunk has no doubt been in place for quite some time as well as his military retirement (since before he quit his job 3 years ago). SSI is harder to qualify for but he got that about 30 months ago. So he was making several thousand dollars a month from the military even when he decided to quit his post-military job and he's been making $8800/month for the last year and a half. He lives in a lower cost of living city. You'd have a hard time convincing me this wasn't all about bad choices on unnecessary spending.

      He needs to cut lifestyle. Lifestyle isn't a necessity. And his wife needs to get a paying job. And they don't need an expensive car. They have an excellent income + disability income isn't taxable. What are they doing with their money? Cut lifestyle - no eating out, no vacations, no expensive cars, no expensive clothing. No magic or rocket science to figure this out. Lifestyle isn't a necessity. Be responsible.

    As a vet I served with plenty of guys who went into the va almost daily (conveniently when they were close to getting out) to complain about their back or some kind of pain. Every time they did it would get put on their record and if it was consistent enough then they’d determine if it was service related. If it was then they’ll come up with a percentage for va disability payments. The guys I knew were all fine and just trying to get the extra money from the government on top of what they’d make working after they got out. It’s scummy but I don’t blame them after the hell we went through. Sometimes I wish I did it too but I just felt morally wrong about lying about that.

      The guy owes $25K on "high interest" loans but doesn't know how many he has. Therefore, it is logical that many of those loans are low balance. Knock them out first because they are low balance, not necessarily because they are high interest. How upside down are they on the wife's car? What's her monthly payment. She should be able to get a job making $40K a year and ditch her "hobby" job. They can't afford her making no income while "working." That could allow her to double up on payments and get the car paid off faster. If she does that, there is no reason a couple making a combined $140K a year can't pay off $55K quickly. This guy doesn't want to get serious about getting out of debt.

      I cannot fly due to not being able to sit for very long.
      I cannot go out to eat because standing in the middle of a restaurant is disruptive to the other guests and to the staff.
      I cannot go to a movie because I cannot sit very long nor stand very long.
      Going to church, I stand in the back, leaning against the back wall, and not sit in a pew. I cannot stick around for fellowship because of not being able to stay standing after service and have to go directly home to decompress my spine and hips.
      One appointment, be it at the doctor's, mechanic, gov. agency,...whatever... will include the drive time, the standing while waiting for the service or meeting, the drive time home and then incapacitation for the rest of the day and possibly the next or longer.

    This is absolutely insane how much money he’s bringing in so I am military veteran and I wish I would have gotten my retirement pay but I got out early. His injuries aside you don’t have to live in the United States to receive your benefits. I’ve lived in eight different countries throughout my life And what $8000 a month can get you you can live I can’t even put into words how good you can live on $8000 a month in pretty much every single country except western Europe
    and Australia

    I feel for this guy, but he really is just floating around, not really taking control of his finances. He doesn't know how many loans he has and every time Dave asked him a question, he had to ponder the answer like it was the first time he'd considered it. Those payday/title loans are a killer. They need to hunker down, tighten their belts, and pay off those loans. Those payday places are worse than a loan shark.

    Sounds to me like caller has gotten into some grey market loan sharking with insane 3-figure annual interest rates such as payday, tribal, pawn or even outright black market/mafia lenders.
    There's a big difference between owing $25K at 10-20-30% from an "honest" unsecured lender Vs owing $25k to sharks or criminals at 200-300-360% interest rates.
    Sounds to me like caller needs legal advice because there are sometimes legal ways to defer payday lenders and break the cycle with state-mandated hardship programs also with active military (disabled vet as well?) there can be legal protections against loan sharking that would limit a shark's ability to prey on him.
    Around here grey market payday and pawn lenders are about 20-25% per MONTH and black market lenders are about 4% per WEEK so $25,000 could be literally unpayable depending how it's structured.

      He probably should have thought about that when choosing to take out those loans rather than live within his considerable means in one of the cheapest metro areas in the US. Hard to feel sorry for him. Actually, it's impossible to feel sorry for him.

      @morr9998 Both military and SS disability are handed far too easily. The fact that he was able to work a physically demanding job after his service is evidence that he was no disabled. And, if you volunteer for the military, you are just working a job you selected; no different than being a plumber, electrician, or roofer. By choosing a physically demanding job, you are willingly tearing your body up and that expected wear should not qualify someone for disability.
