Like, 538 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 3: for example, mary Kay is an MLM. So you know 539 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 3: something as an MLM because not only do you sell 540 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: the product, but do you have the opportunity to get 541 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 3: people that you know to. 542 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: Sell the product under you. 543 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 3: So it's like, hey, I sell mary Kay, but then 544 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 3: I also try to get my sisters, my aunts and 545 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 3: my cousins whatever they sell Mary Kay, And when they sell, 546 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 3: I benefit from what they sell, and the person that 547 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 3: brought me on benefits from what they sell as well 548 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 3: as from what I sell. So it's like a movement 549 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: on a you know. Yeah, And so like I said, 550 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 3: not all MLMs are terrible. Mary Kay is actually I 551 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 3: think it's one of the top rated companies for women, 552 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 3: like the in the nation. So there's that, and there's 553 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 3: another one that actually I didn't mind, but some of 554 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 3: them are, for lack of a better word, scams. Here's 555 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 3: how you know if your MLM is a scam if 556 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 3: the product itself is crappy. Because if the push is 557 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: not for you to sell this great product, it's instead 558 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: for you to sign people up, you know you're in 559 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: a scam MLM and it's probably not going to last long. 560 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: Back in the day, I remember my sister signed up 561 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 3: for one called Cutco Knives and my dad was like, oh, 562 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: like she had to, Like, I guess you put in 563 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: like five hundred or six hundred bucks. You get these knives, 564 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 3: and then you try to get your family and friends 565 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 3: to buy these expensive knives and then to sell them themselves. 566 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 3: And that was the first time I was introduced to MLMs. 567 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: And of course those knives are no longer here because 568 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 3: if you don't have a good product, this MLM will 569 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 3: no longer be here. And the people that benefit most 570 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 3: are those who come in when they first start. So 571 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 3: if I'm the person who starts the MLM, I signed 572 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: you up, you signed your friend up, your friends signed 573 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 3: your friend up, So all of those people selling kind 574 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 3: of like they will upsell to me basically. But if 575 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: you come in in the middle or the end, by 576 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 3: that time, you know, the market may have been flooded 577 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 3: by ABC Travel for example. That was one that that's 578 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 3: not just no longer around where you know, why would 579 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 3: I be booking my travel through you when orbits is 580 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: online and I could get cash back on ep it 581 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: group Like that. 582 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't make sense. So I do want people to be 583 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: more mindful. 584 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 2: Where do they usually Where do you usually get like 585 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: solicited by an MLM?

I think sometimes 986 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,239 Speaker 2: it's so easy to just kind of like stand the 987 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: internet when you're looking for a job, but don't discount 988 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 2: the power of personal connections. 989 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 1: That's way stronger. 990 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, But you know, it's kind of like 991 00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 2: a it's a balance. I don't know, it's I can 992 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 2: understand while you're kind of on the fence, but either way, 993 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 2: but I would say, just go ahead and at least 994 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 2: make a date when you plan to move, because it 995 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: takes planning to move too, and you have to get 996 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 2: stuff in order, and you have to know when to 997 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 2: cut off your bills and when to break your lease 998 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So I would say, set a 999 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 2: date and then start doing whatever you can to find 1000 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 2: a job. But if it doesn't work out, you know, 1001 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,839 Speaker 2: take a little risk and go down there. You're young, 1002 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 2: twenty five, Yeah, but I. 1003 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,319 Speaker 3: Agree, Like I like you saving money ahead time, And 1004 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 3: I never thought about it like that. 1005 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: That what you said maybe about moving and then getting 1006 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: just like a couple months just to be like, whoof that? 1007 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 3: You're not like, I move today.

But I 1011 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 3: would probably have because I'm like an over point. I 1012 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 3: would like to have, like, you know, five or six 1013 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 3: months worth of savings and do a search on the 1014 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 3: kind of area that you'd like to live in. 1015 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: You know, have your boyfriend obviously help you with. 1016 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 3: This is where I'm thinking that we ought to live 1017 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 3: and get an idea of how much rent and utilities 1018 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 3: costs so you can create what I like, I always 1019 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,799 Speaker 3: like to do a budget of what my future life 1020 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 3: is going to look like. 1021 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 1: So here's my current life. 1022 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 3: You know, this is how much I spend on utilities 1023 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 3: and hair and nails and everything else. 1024 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 1: And then I create a. 1025 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,879 Speaker 3: Budget for my Atlanta life, so I know how much 1026 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 3: money because you might be spending more or less depending 1027 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,399 Speaker 3: so you'll know, like, Okay, my Atlanta life actually costs 1028 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 3: me three hundred dollars less or three hundred dollars more 1029 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 3: than what my my up North life is costing me. 1030 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 3: Now you know how much you need to have saved 1031 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 3: if you want to have six months saved. 1032 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: So definitely do a pre budget by listing the. 1033 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 3: Things that you know, by going online and saying, well, 1034 00:45:58,680 --> 00:45:59,759 Speaker 3: what do apartments go for? 1035 00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: What does that look like?

She doesn't say which city in Pennsylvania, but 1041 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 2: say it's like a Philly or a Pittsburgh. The salary 1042 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 2: may be similar to what she's earning in Atlanta, but 1043 00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 2: it could be less. It could be more like, you know, 1044 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: my New York salary. I wouldn't earn what I earned 1045 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 2: in New York if I was working as a journalist 1046 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 2: in Georgia because the cost of living is so much lower. 1047 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: So you have to have like a realistic expectation of 1048 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 2: what you can ask for in terms of salary, of 1049 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 2: what you should expect in terms of salary. And you 1050 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 2: can get a pretty good idea just by going to 1051 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: like a glassdoor dot com and putting in you know, 1052 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 2: your job and where you're moving, and it can give 1053 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,480 Speaker 2: you an idea of what the median earnings are for 1054 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 2: your area. There's also a cool like cost of living calculator. 1055 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 2: I think it's CNN Money has one cost of living 1056 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 2: where you can put in your where you live now, 1057 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 2: in your earnings, and then it'll and where you're moving 1058 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 2: to and it'll show you, uh, basically what the equivalent 1059 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 2: is of your you know, New York salary or Pennsylvania salary, 1060 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 2: but in Georgia. 1061 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was there's another one called it called Smarty Pig. 1062 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,879 Speaker 2: No this Marty Pig. 1063 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,560 Speaker 1: No, No, I don't think there was another one that 1064 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: I like that too. 1065 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,879 Speaker 3: It was like you typed in kind of like where 1066 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 3: you're going to live and what you do for a living, 1067 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 3: and it kind of tells you how much you'd be 1068 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 3: making and spending.

Where 1108 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 3: it's so ridiculous that you're like, girl, I there's just 1109 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 3: no way. But you're not in that position, you might 1110 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 3: want to consider it, like you might want to consider 1111 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 3: I think, what is it called surrendering your car? You 1112 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 3: can do that, you know, because I did this. Superman 1113 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 3: did it. So when I met Superman, his previous girlfriend 1114 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 3: co signed for him to get a truck. And the 1115 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 3: what he was paying a month was honestly rent. I 1116 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,359 Speaker 3: think he was paying like upwards of seven or eight 1117 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 3: hundred dollars a month, something ridiculous. And then on top 1118 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 3: of that, you know, you have to pay full full 1119 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 3: car insurance. It was costing him like nearly a thousand 1120 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 3: dollars a month, if not one thousand dollars a month, 1121 00:49:58,080 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 3: and it was ridiculous. And I was like, and the 1122 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 3: reason and why he thought it was a good idea 1123 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 3: is because he where we lived, where he was working, 1124 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,240 Speaker 3: where he lived, and they were he was living rent 1125 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 3: free because he was like on call, like like on call, 1126 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 3: and so he was like, well, instead of paying you know, rent, 1127 00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,560 Speaker 3: I'm buying a car and I'm getting this car. 1128 00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, that doesn't make sense because what 1129 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: if they get rid of that position and you have 1130 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 1: to pay rent? What are you gonna do. You can't 1131 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 1: afford to do both. 1132 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 3: And so I had him basically sell the car back 1133 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 3: and he lost money, yes, but he had that nine 1134 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,640 Speaker 3: hundred dollars free up and sure enough, six months later 1135 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,879 Speaker 3: they eliminated that position and he had to start paying rent. 1136 00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 3: So you know, so it was was it a loss 1137 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 3: of money, yes, but in the end, it was worth 1138 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 3: not having to pay that amount of money. And so 1139 00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 3: what he did and said was with the money he 1140 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,520 Speaker 3: had saved in the six months, he bought like a 1141 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 3: gently used, nice little car for thirty five hundred dollars 1142 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 3: cash and that's what he has now. 1143 00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 2: So yeah, and she's got a seventeen percent interest rate. 1144 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 2: That's basically like putting paying for a car with a 1145 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 2: credit card, like with an interest rate that high. 1146 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,399 Speaker 3: So you want to consider selling it all back and 1147 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 3: then saving. 1148 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know. But the thing is, my worry 1149 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,479 Speaker 1: is how are you going to get to work? 1150 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 2: M I mean, she doesn't say how good her credit is. 1151 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's not great, but you could try and refinance, 1152 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,280 Speaker 2: you know, I'm assuming well, she says her lenders capital one. 1153 00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 2: First of all, Capital one is becoming one of the 1154 00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 2: if not one of, if not the largest issue or 1155 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,319 Speaker 2: of subprime auto loans. Like they're they're not doing great 1156 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,520 Speaker 2: stuff in the auto loan space, so you could try 1157 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 2: maybe getting a I'm gonna do a little plug because 1158 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,960 Speaker 2: Magnified Money does have a student or not a student 1159 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 2: an auto loan refinancing page. If you go to magnify 1160 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 2: money dot com and look up our auto refinancing page, 1161 00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 2: you can put in your information and then you can 1162 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 2: see what offers are out for you, and maybe you 1163 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 2: could qualify for a lower interest car note. But if 1164 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 2: you're if you're credit isn't bad are the advice typically is, 1165 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,760 Speaker 2: you know, do what you can to improve your credits. 1166 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 2: You can get approved for you know, a lower rate loan, 1167 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 2: but if it's just your car, I don't think that's 1168 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:15,560 Speaker 2: enough to warrant, Like Tiffany said, the disruption of bankruptcy, 1169 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:19,720 Speaker 2: because that's that takes a long time to recover from. 1170 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 2: And also it you know, to be you know, and 1171 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,439 Speaker 2: and you know, I have had family members who file 1172 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 2: bankruptcy and I've seen it work as a tool, you know, 1173 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 2: for financial health, but I've also seen them file multiple times. Yeah, 1174 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,359 Speaker 2: and I think, you know, I don't know if I've 1175 00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 2: mentioned this before, but people credit card companies actually direct 1176 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 2: market to people who have file bankruptcy because they know, hey, 1177 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 2: this person's already proven that they like credit and that 1178 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 2: they'll they'll spend and carry a balance, and so they 1179 00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 2: market directly to them because they know that those habits 1180 00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:56,359 Speaker 2: and those the underlying behavior will benefit them and could 1181 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 2: hurt you. So if you file bankruptcy, you have to 1182 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 2: do a lot of work to change the habits that 1183 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 2: sort of got you there in the first place. Maybe 1184 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,720 Speaker 2: go to the liverat or Challenge dot com or anywhere 1185 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 2: else bunch of EESA materials are sold and get out 1186 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 2: of that situation. But it's hard though. Women are tend 1187 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,240 Speaker 2: to be the caretaker, you know, And like she said, 1188 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 2: while she was taking care of her nephew who was sick, 1189 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 2: which was very like, you know, great. I'm sure her 1190 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 2: sister or her brother you know, loved her for that, 1191 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 2: but she neglected her own sort of financial health at 1192 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 2: the same time and put herself at risk. And luckily 1193 00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,799 Speaker 2: she's only thirty three, so there's time to sort of 1194 00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 2: dig herself out of there. But yeah, it's hard, like 1195 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:54,360 Speaker 2: she said, when she's living check to check alrighty well, okay, 1196 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,359 Speaker 2: thank you for your question, Tea.
