This show has taught me that some people that have nice cars, many times are broke.
Honestly, one of my biggest takeaway’s from this channel. When I see someone rolling down the road in a late-model, pricey vehicle, my first thought is really just about what amount of car payment the driver must be carrying around, killing other aspects of their life 😢
I have that same thought when picking up materials at Home Depot in my 100% paid cash for $10k used truck, and the people in the $70k vehicles parked on either side of me are looking at me like I don't quite fit in. Guess what, I also paid cash for the building materials I'm loading in my truck, and invest more every month than they put towards their truck payment. They're right, I don't quite fit in, and I really prefer that.
Yep, I'm rarely the one with the nicest car, even when I owned a brand new car. My classic cars are not pristine, either, but I own them more to work on than to show. I also have no debt and plenty of cash in the bank with plans to retire early so I can invest more time in my hobbies.
@@EdBball99
LOL. I always say, "they got payments I dont".
@@myZcarlife
I love how you put that. I wish you can teach a class on that concept. In this new TIKTOK Era, it seems people try to love beyond their means
She says makes $15 an hour but brings home 4k a month. That means she's working 60+ hours a week. But she also said she's a student and her income is choppy. It's not adding up.
I thought the same thing.
It’s prob choppy cuz she does make the same amount every check
She's full of it. She's not "bringing home" 4k a month at $15/hour
I did some napkin math and figured out she's probably working almost 90 hours a week. Take that with a grain of salt: it's a used napkin and this is a comment replying to a comment on a youtube video.
She probably has OF or sugar daddy, that would make more sense
Lexus at $15/hr, that’s cray cray 😅
And look, she is not even considering the maintenance. The upkeep on those cars are crazy
“I’m (a 27 year old student making $15 an hour) paying now for stuff I did on my early 20s!”
“My main problem is a (luxury) car I bought 12 months ago” 🙄
THIS😂
She considers 26 as her early 20s
I thought the EXACT same thing 😂
Don’t forget she just got the job making $15/hr so what was she making when she bought the Lexus !12/hr
Delusional
In Boston she can get by with no car. She needs to ride the bus for a little while. In what world a student working for minimum wage thinks it's a good idea to buy a Lexus ?
Very true. But you go some people that act as if they are too good to ride the bus. I know because I have brother that is like that. When his vehicle was down, I all of sudden had to take my nephews to school, because he did not want to be seen on the city bus.
@@Courtney19751 He should have rented a car.
@@Courtney19751 Did you do it? I would not entertain the idea of bringing someone else's kids to school just because they think public transportation is beneath them.
It is easy to get around in Boston on the T. Yes, this situation into which she put herself is sick.
$15 is minimum wage in Mass and the cost of living is among the highest in the country. If you want to live on $15/hr while going to College, gotta live on rice and beans and either ride the T or get a cheap $5k or less car.
Crazy that people manage themselves like this.
This type of thing makes me glad that my Wife and I bought our cars outright. This really sucks.
Her situation is really bad because this is the first time I’ve ever heard Dave tell someone to borrow money to get out of debt.
Yesssss
This is his standard answer to this question about being upside down in a car. I did this in 2008 BECAUSE this is what he has always said to do. Better off owing $4k than $18k on a car. He will never say borrow to consolidate.
Exactly
He has said this several times before for upside down carsn
I don't understand her situation
Financial stupidity is very fashionable nowadays. It usually happens when ego gets bigger than common sense.
Most people don't have any sense. It certainly isn't common.
I'll never let me ego get bigger than my wallet maybe not common sense but definitely wallet
Why do people who are still students (even if working too) buy a Lexus? 🤦
Because she is able to sign the loan contract.
Because she's an "Independent woman ".
Another good question is why would anyone loan money to a deadbeat like this? Why would they roll over previous debt into a loan where there is so little collateral?
@@KENTUCKYUSA1 Sales people just want their commission. They should only pay a commission to these salespeople as payments are made.
Love Dave’s empathy here, instead of riding her down for some bad decisions.
That’s wat happens trying to impress others that don’t even care
Love the sticker on the laptop..."BETTER THAN I DESERVE."
None of the other hosts could have thought of the solution Dave gave her. Not even close. None of these kids are gonna cut it when Dave is gone. Sad.
Selling a car without a title is how Carvana found themselves banned from selling in numerous states.
And then people ask why they never go ahead in life. Student+15hrs+driving a Lexus= never go ahead in life.
This lady never met a debt she didn't like.
$4000 take home making $15 an hour??? Either she is working her tail off like crazy or she has a side hustle she isnt too proud of and wont mention it.
She's making $15/ hour, and she's bringing $4k a month? That math ain't mathin'.. Her numbers don't add up
Could be overtime
@Reese if it's overtime, she would have to work more than 80 hrs a week to bring in $4 a month. At $15/hr for 40 hours, that's $2400 a month. That's before taxes.
@@marcenelj you kno overtime is time and a half right? So that 15hr an hour turns into 22.5 hr! So she wouldn’t have to work 80 hrs to get that
She lives off of student loans
It’s probably base pay and she’s in some types of sales that she makes commission
It's Boston. There's some places that you can just "park" the car.
$15 an hour job do not equate $4000/month income without a lot of overtime
You literally answered your own question
@@reese85 She is a student, not much chance of her working much overtime.
@@workinonit9562 she never said if she was full time or a part time student! Like I work 60 plus hours a week but if I wouldn’t to take clases on the side, I can no problem
If she just started living frugally and paying off debt, she would b fine in the future. But she has to stop adding on
Mistakes after mistakes
She doesn’t even know how much she’s making but surly knows what that car payment is every month! More than what she can afford!!!
I don't know how she brings home 4k a month making 15 an hour!
$2k for a car that even drives? Not here in Seattle
Dave needs to realize even a used beat up vehicle is more then 2,000 dollars
More like 5k now and there’s still ton of problems this ain’t 5 years ago when you can get a 4k car that runs decent
Nah man, I bring home roughly 4,000$/month making 75k a year. Something isn’t adding up.
Pitiful garage sale cars are becoming expensive.
I see all these brand new Yukon Denali’s, Escalades, Grand Wagoneer’s all over the place here in Minnesota and cant imagine the payments on all of these because very very few people are actually dishing out $80k-$120k cash on anything
Easy to be successful because people r so weak these days. These questions are super childish. Thank god i have the parents who guide me to be in a solid financial security.
Ouch, when Dave said “we already asked that”. I feel like Dave is getting frustrated with jade talking over him and asking random questions
She sucks!
When the math didn't add up, Dave should've asked if she was receiving child support and if so for how many kids. That said, I wish her well as she gets out of debt.
This woman is a walking financial disaster.
Most people learn financial responsibility after being forced to get out of a mess.
@@JR-wu8dc I am not sure it is "most" people that learn. If it were, there would not be 17+ trillion in consumer debt in America. I think most people just stay in their comfort zone no matter the consequences of debt. They think it's the normal way to live.
Living above your means for a car!
It all about people need to reach out and get educated about finance. My parents and grandparents didn't teach me how to save or invest. They just taught me how to spend. I had to learn and that's why I watch your show. I keep learning and I'm in good shape. I didn't have kids, but if I did, I would start teaching them how to manage money at a young age and keep teaching them.
My parents didn't teach me anything about money either, but I just put the math I learned in school to practice. I was in the seventh heaven when I learned the percent operator and how it works on a savings account! Of course, interest rates were better back then.
This is why I rather just rely on public transportation. In Boston if you’re near a T station you have easy access to the city. Letting my car go was the best decision I have ever made in my life 💯
Did anyone notice how Dave reprimanded jade when she asked if the caller had any money?
Yes, as he should have.
Why is she getting a lexus with a $15 hr salary??? And its a second car, is she ok?
Common sense should be classified as superpower. A student and 15 bucks an hour and wants to drive a Lexus. Living for others much? 😂
It should be called "rare sense" nowadays. Nothing common about it anymore
Exactly. I and wife didn’t get to drive new cars until we were in our 30s. And we pay cash. This is pure insanity and she is not thinking as a 27 YO.
lol much🤣

Why does a student with a choppy income need a Lexus and now thinking of a lease?
When I was a student, I drove my grandma's old Pontiac that was worth about $500
$15hr is 31k which is 2583 a month where is she getting $4000 from?
Do anybody in these comments kno how overtime works?
@@reese85 overtime while being a student
@@enhancedutility266 ok! I’m not understanding
What is a college student 👩🎓 driving a Lexus?
$15/hr is not even close to bringing home $4k/month
Working 60 hours a week at $15 per hour is $3900 per month before tax. This is not about 'take home pay', it's about before tax pay.
Even thirty dollars an hour after tax does not make $4000
Who's saying anything about after tax? Working 60 hours a week at $15 per hour is $3900 per month before tax.
"pitiful cars" have a good chance of breaking down somewhere, which creates repair bills especially if the driver doesn't know how to fix things or if they don't have tools to do so.
"acceptable used cars" are better with regards to maintenance and repair BUT, these days they're pretty much double of what they should cost.
the caller is in a tight spot... hope she gets over this hurdle.
That's my only criticism about the call. A pitiful car is trouble, usually. How pitiful are we talking?
I would want her to have a decent used car, especially a young woman.
I am a mechanic and it cost alot of money to maintain a pitiful car.
Unless you look at like this...
Let's say you get a pitiful car and you completely restore the car... engine. transmission. Interior gadgets.
You will still come out far less than 31K
@@markj6681It's called having NO money or living paycheck to paycheck. Do you suggest she takes out another loan or borrows money from family to afford this said "decently used car"?
@@front331
No I get it. I wouldn't want her to take out a loan for anything, let's get that straight.
I would love her to pay cash for a car and be done with all her worries but how pitiful of a car does she need to get.
A lemon? A hooptie? A bucket? P.O.S?
I am sure she could find a decent, reasonable and affordable cash car, I am just saying that pitiful cars come with problems too.
Let's say she somehow comes up with 2000 to buy a car. She borrows it from family or something.
She goes out and buys a pitiful car that "seems" to be in "decent" shape. What happens if something major happens to that car, an unforeseen issue that ruins the car.
And I know, that can happen to any car but I am saying - it will more than likely happen to a high mileage car as opposed to something with less millage, in theory.
I would advise her to find ways to use public transportation. If not available, then find a friend or coworker going your way. Borrow a car until you have enough money to pay for something worthwhile
DRAMA lol. ANY CAR CAN BREAK DOWN, even one with a payment.
@@markj6681 You just said you dont want her to borrow for a car then give an example of her borrowing from family $2k lol lol.
the days of 1-2k cars are pretty much gone unfortunately for people like this.
31k at 9 percent for a 2016 idgaf that it’s a Lexus holy hell.
15x40 is 600, 600x4 is 2400. And she said she is a atudent so her hours that she could work overtime are limited. And thats if her job offers overtime
$15 an hour is nowhere near $4000 a month.. start there..
Overtime
I need your help!
The only problem I could see happening is the current bank and other banks could say no to the extra funding. Hopefully not the case of course.
Why would they not say no? The vehicle is the only leverage they have to collect the debt. If they loan her the $10,000 unsecured, they have no leverage to "encourage" her to make her payments.
A student? 15 an hour. A Lexus? Wow. I know too many people like this who purchase a Lexus. Wow. Just to be "cool" and show off.
$15/hr and $4k a month sounds cap
I'd be asking this young lady if she can get where she needs to go on public transit.
Why is a "student" driving a Lexus?...
$15hr...
And driving a Lexus
They should be called vehicle leashes rather than leases cause man they tie you up to their benefit any way you look at it.
No, "fleeces", as Ramsey calls them all the time, is much better.
The bank clearly knows the difference. They have to give a different loan. Lol
I make 25 an hour and make bring home 3k a month and she makes 15 and said 4k a month? What am I missing
How could anyone with a 3rd grade concept of math think that being 31K in debt for a car while already being over 10K in other debts while making 15 dollars an hour is not egregiously stupid? Not even factoring in interest or income taxes, just dividing her debt by 15, it is over 2900. Meaning 2900+ working hours which is 49 weeks of working 60 hours per week. Even at the most rudimentary level, this is insane
Well all I can say is no one will respect you driving a used Honda all day. Who will respect or appreciate you? This caller wants people to see her as a somebody, not a nobody. I completely understand why she did what she did.
Yes and for a newer car.
If it were just down to math no one would be in debt. People get into debt because of an inability to control their impulses and emotions. I'm sure she enjoyed showing off her new Lexus at the beginning.
@@costco_pizza I have never bought a new car nor owned a Lexus or equivalent luxury brand car. I'm sure people are stop lights that I will never meet nor care about think of me less. I'd rather have wealth and a nice home because I will spend much more time there than in a car. It also isn't a guaranteed depreciating asset like a car. People who "are" somebody, do not need to let others know it.
@@costco_pizza I don’t “respect or appreciate” the kind of people who respect or appreciate you based off your car and knowing nothing else about you
You’d rather go into debt and have people you don’t even know “respect” you? Honda is a great car btw and new cars depreciate immediately
I think when she asked about “leasing it”, she meant that she was considering leasing her Lexus to other people.
Not a smart thing to do at all, but I did hear another caller, a few months back, ask about leasing out his Tesla to tourists 🤡
Like Turo? That may be what she meant
Wow, $15 an hour with a Lexus. My goodness
$4000 is 48k a yr
She’s driving a Lexus though 😅
I don't wish to be unkind, but this lady is extremely financially "challenged."

There is no car that pitiful in Massachusetts. A $1000 car would probably be just a rusted out frame.
Pitiful car.
"I pity the pitiful car fool!" - Mr. T
4k a month take home?? Thts about 48k after taxes..how does she get tht out of $15 an hour ?
By working 60 hours a week.
Sheesh owing 31k on a 2016 Lexus. I feel better only owing 15k on my 2015 Lexus
Lol no one cares
That is stupid too.
You are not bringing home 4k/mo on 15/hr, not in any universe lol
4k month on $16 hour?
The title should be 'This is financially stupid'

She needs to marry a doctor with no student loans. Or bankruptcy is in her future.
get a Masters of rs degree
best advice ever.
No doctor will marry her and her debt though. That is the reality of the situation.
She makes approx. 48k a year and is 45k in debt. She is also only 27 y/o.
Ive seen worser odds and scenarios on this show.
She would spend all that money too. You cant fix an emotional problem with money.
Minimum wage driving a Lexus.
Sell the car.
But she have too much debt ot take out a loan to pay off the car, to go and sell it first.
All she gotta do is crash the late night on the highway and say a deer jumped out in front of her and she lost control!
