    I think some people may be misunderstanding my hesitation to her purchasing a house. Obviously, I would love for her to get a house, but it is beyond risky to get into a mortgage without a fully funded six-month emergency fund first! I just want her and her family to be safe and stay there for as long as they want.

    • @NicESpurling
      @NicESpurling ปีที่แล้ว +79

      I think you overestimate how risky home ownership is and underestimate its value. Owning a home means not having to worry about the unexpected expenses associated with being evicted, and with having your rent increased on you. You want to have an emergency fund whether you own or rent, because both come with risks. In my case, I bought a home with no emergency fund. Obviously you can never predict the market, but had I not bought when I did, I would have never been able to save more, because rent would have been higher than the mortgage and maintenance for the same size of unit, and because rents have gone up so much since then that I never would have been able to afford to get into the market otherwise.

      ​@fatimamanneh9432 do you know how many credit cards work? Im not trying to be rude, im asking.
      You get one with 0 interest the first year, make your big purchase (this is what I did at the beginning of covid, I was kicked out of my house and needed a place to rent and furniture to sleep on). Then, with the job you have, you make steady payments on that card.
      I didnt know this until a few years ago when my fiance taught me how to build credit. I as well as many other Americans are taught that credit cards are bad, don't use what you don't have, and they, in turn, have bad or no credit. Was finally able to get my credit score to 790 from credit cards being paid off on time.
      When the commenter said get a credit card with high limits, im sure he wasn't thinking "and don't pay it back" or "rack up interest". Or maybe he was. There's a way of getting a credit card with high limits for this type of emergency and still paying it off on time, within that year, and not collecting any interest or debt.

      I actually just watched a video recently on TH-cam from a RN who has been nursing for 15+ years who talked about what she's witnessed over the years with fellow nurses making unwise financial decisions (i.e., buying luxury bags, getting nicer cars, etc.) once they start making a little money. It's honestly wild how lifestyle creep can trap you in debt.

    Caleb, your videos have helped me so much brother. Unfortunately lost my friend to suicide 2 years ago and fell into a spiral. Drained my savings, retirement and racked up about 16k in credit card debt. Between your videos and therapy, I’ve managed to dig myself out of that hole financially and mentally. Tomorrow I fully pay of my credit card debt and have never been more excited about the future.

    As someone who was pretty sheltered and had strict parents, I can say that once kids get out on their own it’s hell in a speed boat. I went 3,000 miles away from home for college and lost my scholarship and flunked out 3 years later because I had no idea how to make good choices because my parents never let me be independent. I beg all parents to gradually allow teens to have some sort of freedom/independence before leaving the house.

      My only gripe is that she should have bought out a portion of the parents land. If anything happens with her parent’s finances or just in general, she could be in massive trouble. Tbh Caleb’s response to the own/rent really frustrated me, she’s a single mum working night shift. She needs the stability of not know they’ll be evicted or being denied to renew the lease after 12mths. Her kids deserve to sleep in their own bed 6 nights a week, it’s not fair to expect the kids to be dropped off after dinner and picked up then driven straight to school. Also staying at the grandparents 6 nights a week could impact her child support and custody.

The circumstances seem to all point there (20 year instead of 30, placing the home on her parents land and them not making her pay land rent, living in a camper before the "home" purchase). This all stinks of mobile home to me. Which can be fine, but in 10 years shes going to be underwater on the remaining balance of her loan; with no equity in the land or even really on the house. If it is a mobile home she 100% would have been financially better off renting a house in the area.

      As an adult who messaged strangers on my iPod 3 as a kid, I agree! There were apps that looked like kids apps and weren’t- Even my friends in after school programs recommended “games” like Habbo for me to play. Yikes! I will say I was smart enough not to give out any personal information and still have some good friends from Xbox back then. Looking back, there were definitely a lot of predators that I blocked on messaging apps. It’s scary seeing kids playing among us and Roblox these days. My cousin and I warned our aunts about this years ago and tried to help them set up restrictions but they’re not tech savvy and never followed through with it.

    My wife's an MSN and manages a telemetry unit, my son is a practicing BSN, and my HS senior daughter is preparing for RN school. I'm very familiar with this industry. If this lady would take an LPN to RN class and work incentive pay shifts in a hospital, she could likely hit 100k in a 40/50 hr work week no prob in most of the US. The difference in pay between an LPN and a bachelor's prepared RN is staggering.

      Y’all in similar situations: open a living trust (or similar) and make your child the beneficiary. If the upfront costs of doing that are too much, deed the property to all three of you with varying percentages of interest. This can cost very little with some research. Subdividing the property can cost a lot and has tax/zoning/value implications.

All that will probably happen is that she will go to college and end up overcompensating for her lack of freedom by getting into drugs or something extreme lol. Anyway, iPhones have parental controls, controlled by the parent's phone and it does not cost extra. That was the main point.

    If I’m understanding her correctly, she purchased a manufactured home and put it on her parents property. Those things go down in value. So maybe she paid 100,000 for one, but in a few years, it’s not gonna be worth it. Sure, she can move it wherever, but unless she owns land, she’s not gonna gain any equity at all. She might as well have just rented in that case.

      This is so sad but you're totally right. When people compare owning to renting and say owning is "paying yourself," it's because when you sell the house you take all your equity with you. When she leaves this place, all she's going to get is whatever she can scrap it for. 😢
