1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: My boyfriend says I'm financially irresponsible, but makes me pay

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 1: for everything.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, be responsible, pay for me.

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: I twenty nine female, have been with my boyfriend twenty

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: seven mail for one point five years, and we're discussing

6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: finances and living together. I'm not the most financially literate,

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: but I don't think I overspend or live beyond my means.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I live with my family, who don't charge rent, though

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I help with groceries and other things. I've been trying

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: to build my savings, hoping to buy a house soon.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: I've never been in debt in my credit card score

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: is decent. By the way, this comes from Princess Archer

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: on the r slash Okay storytime, so I've read it.

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: So when we first met, it was more care free,

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: with spending vacations, shopping, meals out. I was still saving,

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: but in smaller amounts. My boyfriend pointed out early on

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: that I spent too much, but as we became more serious,

18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: I cut back. Now I rarely go out and primarily

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: spend money on dates. Wait, so your boyfriend's like, hey,

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: don't do stuff for you do stuff for me that

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: it's great spending If you do stuff for you, bat

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: back terrible for me.

23
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: Good babe. This PS five is going to fix our relationship.

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called investing in the relationship. It will have

25
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: returns and at least two smooches from yours. Truly, So

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: I do brunch with the girls once every half months.

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Otherwise friends social time is done on walks or at houses.

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: Despite this, I've had some setbacks like car repairs needed

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: for my commute, which have made saving harder. So she's

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: gone from going spending like vacation money and all that

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: to just brunch with friend every half month. My boyfriend

32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: still says I don't save properly and brings up my

33
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: vacations as evidence I'm not serious about saving for a house.

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: What are you contributing? Yeah, boyfriend, buddy, what bread you

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: bring in? Or you just toasting bread? You just burnen bread.

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: He just wants her buns.

37
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: He wants those buns toasty, spread his little jelly on

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: it discussed. Uh huh, you gotta pay for that. No gooning,

39
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: no gooning, No gooning. Here we edge, here we edge

40
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: and never goon never stop edging, never stop edging. Always

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: be on the edge of your seat while edging, which

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing right now yourself. We discussed buying

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: John I have a girlfriend, Fry. We discussed buying a

44
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: house earlier this year, and I decided to start saving seriously.

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: But I had a few vacations planned. One was a

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: cheap trip came to less than a thousand dollars total,

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: which I booked with my best friend whilst my boyfriend

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: and I were broken up. Whilst whilst a little little

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: uh break break vacation.

50
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: That's new information.

51
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: What was happening on this break.

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't even think about that.

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Also what is the gender of this friend? Not

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: not not saying anything is going to happen, but it

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: sounds like you are but it could, but it could

56
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: really quick. Like before we keep going. I am not

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: confident in this relationship so far, I have a lot

58
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: of confidence.

59
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Oh, this is a terrible relationship.

60
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: There we go. So even after we got back together,

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: I went on it as I knew I'd not be

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: going on any more friend trips for the seeable future.

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Oh you know, you love a relationship where you're just

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: gonna get pinned down, and not in the sexy way

65
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be caged, not in the

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: sexy way, handcuffed not in the sexy way, to your partner,

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: and not allowed to do anything, not in the sexy way.

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: The second it was with the boyfriend, an expensive trip

69
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: he wanted to go on and I ultimately chose to

70
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: join him on. We split flights and hotels fifty fifty,

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: and whilst on the trip, he covered the majority of

72
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: the big spuds. Okay, maybe stepping up to the plate,

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: butnd in that bread. I took out of my savings

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: for this trip, but as our first together, I decided

75
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: it was worth it. It was indeed a once in

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: a lifetime trip. The third is a family vacation for

77
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: my milestone birthday. What's that milestone?

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 3: I guess thirty like nine twenty four, I'm turning twenty four?

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: What so on?

80
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: Like February twenty fourth of twenty twenty four, I turned

81
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: twenty four.

82
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: That's like, oh, that's a milestone birth Yeah, it matches

83
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: with your I believe I had that. I was born

84
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: on September. Last year was September I was. My birthday

85
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: was September twenty third, twenty twenty three, turning twenty three.

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: Whoa find a year, and the year has been great.

87
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look at me, he's glowing.

88
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: Milestones, he's glowing.

89
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was because op is twenty nine and

90
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: turning thirty, and that's like a milestone which my family

91
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: will be covering my cost for as a gift, and

92
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: all I need to bring is spending money for when

93
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: we're there. That's great, that sounds awesome. Yes, hopefully the

94
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: boyfriend doesn't ruin it. Well, guess what he says, I

95
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: could give up the family trip, but I say, it's

96
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: a gift for my birthday. Well, he offered to treat

97
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: me to a birthday weekend instead and do the family

98
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: vacation next year. But to me, it's no longer a

99
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: birthday trip anymore. I already turned down another family vacation

100
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: this year. So he's like, oh, you know, stop hanging

101
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: out with your friends, stop hanging out with your.

102
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Family, stop spending your own money.

103
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah you know. This doesn't sound controlling at all. No,

104
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like he's trying to manipulate you into

105
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: him being your only lifeline of emotional support. Not at all. Zero,

106
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: This is not manipulation.

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: He's so perfect. What could go wrong? Oh?

108
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Is it? Wednesday. It's opposite day. All the things I

109
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: just said, we're reverse. It is manipulation. Fools down, Ope,

110
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: get out. What's kidding to me is that he owes

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: me small amounts of money for things that he then

112
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: tells me later he won't pay for with logical reasons.

113
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Let's hear some of these logical reasons, John, And for

114
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: each reason you tell me logical or illogical, let's do it.

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: On my birthday meal forty dollars. He forgot his wallet

116
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: in the car, so I paid. He said he'd pay

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: me back in front of the waitress, but later said

118
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: he wouldn't as he paid for the birthday activity. And

119
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: I was the one who said I wanted dinner too,

120
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: so dinner was on me for my own birthday. All right, John,

121
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: logical or illogical?

122
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 3: This is quadruple illogical because he said he would pay

123
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: for it, and he's the reason.

124
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: Why she's paying for it. Yeah, what are we talking about.

125
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: I went on a date in New York. It was

126
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: a great date. This is just a minor thing. And

127
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: she conveniently forgot her card and she's like, oh, I

128
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: would have paid, but I conveniently forgot my card. Come on,

129
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: come on, I see through it.

130
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 3: See now, your profile is so large, profile is so

131
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 3: large that people are like, hey, hey, he's got he

132
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: can pay for it.

133
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: Podcast host podcast hosts, you take that? We all know

134
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: they make the most money. Oh yeah, more than the

135
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: finance bros. Yeah yeah, of course, ringing me out for

136
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: every cent anyway, too illogical or logical? John my Ring

137
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: fifty dollars on our vacation. He really wanted to treat

138
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: me to a precious gem ring. The amount might seem small,

139
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: but it's money I would never spend on myself for jewelry.

140
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: I only agreed as he said it was a gift

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: to me. When it came down to pay, his card

142
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: didn't work. He's mine. Classic trick patterns, classic trick. Oh

143
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: oh you need money on your card for this? I

144
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: had no idea.

145
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: Wait a second, are you supposed to like put money

146
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: in a bank account?

147
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: How could you expect me to do that. I'm just

148
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: a baby, I'm just a little baby. Take care of me, mummy. Anyway,

149
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: he said he'd pay me back, John, do you think

150
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: he's going to pay him back? No, he is not

151
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: going to pay her back. When I mentioned this later,

152
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: he said he paid for some really expensive trips the

153
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: time of booking them. I offered to pay for a

154
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: half on them as they were pricey even though above

155
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: my budget, but once again once a lifetime experience, he

156
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: turned me down, saying he wanted to treat me. He

157
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: later said, if I insist on being paid back for

158
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: the ring, he wants half for what he spent on

159
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: the trips away more significant amount.

160
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Hey, instead of you know, if if you want me

161
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: to pay for this fifty dollars ring, then send me

162
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: back like a thousand bucks for.

163
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, go on, go on that I got for you

164
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: for you, for us, for your birthday. But everyone knows

165
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: I am going to keep track of every dollar spent

166
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: so we can be even.

167
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: This man is giving me a migraine.

168
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: I know he is just.

169
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: Reading a story.

170
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean like, I'm still gonna read this, But is

171
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: anyone at all in chat being like stay with this dude. Literally,

172
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like either of them have chicken money. No,

173
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: but they're spending like they got chicken money. Or he's

174
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: spending like he has chicken money, yes, and then expecting

175
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: Ope to give the chicken money that she doesn't have.

176
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: And then being mad at her that she's not saving well, the.

177
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Exactly the one spending her money and also forcing her

178
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: to spend more and like like like, he's basically like

179
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: like lulling her into safety, saying, Oh, don't worry, babe,

180
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay for it. She's like, Okay, he's gotta

181
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: pay for it. Then I guess I could go on

182
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: this trip. Psych rug pulled bam, done all right? Well,

183
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: three concert tickets about sixty five dollars. I bought them

184
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: as a surprise for a date night, but he said

185
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: he wouldn't enjoy them himself, so his mom offered to

186
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: buy them off me. She said she'd pay me back.

187
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: Let's see if the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

188
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: But I said she could give it to him, and

189
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 1: he will. He never did. Oh, so the mom did

190
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: give it, did give it to Opie's boyfriend, and Opie's

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: boyfriend did not give it to Opie anyway. He never did,

192
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: first saying later, and then later when ages had passed,

193
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: citing all the money he had spent on dates, food,

194
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: et cetera for me and saying all that costs way

195
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: more than those tickets, and then finally number four only

196
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: about twenty five bucks. I was going to buy about

197
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: five dollars worth of ingredients to cook dinner, but he

198
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: said to get takeout and he'll pay me back. He

199
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: still hasn't, and when I brought it up, he said

200
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: he pays for most of the food anyway. He bought

201
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: us both food two times, and that costs more than

202
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: the food I got, So it bounces out that don't

203
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: say you're gonna pay for it. He also insists on

204
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty split of future expenses, though he

205
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: earns double what I do. He says he won't do

206
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: a proportional split because of trust issues from a past relationship.

207
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: He did a proportional split with her and she cheated

208
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: on him, and he hates how he wasted so much

209
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: on her that he could have saved. I say he

210
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: can't assume I will do the same, but he says

211
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: he can and he's learned his lesson. Oh God, not

212
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: only is he going fifty to fifty, but he's also

213
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: going and saying, you're gonna cheat on me. But I

214
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: still want to stay together. But I know you're gonna

215
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: cheat on me.

216
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: Babe.

217
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: We'll split fifty to fifty, but I'll project one hundred

218
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: percent onto you.

219
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: There's a hundred percent dude. This guy is hurts, sucks,

220
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: He sucks. He needs therapy, he needs love.

221
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: He needs a job.

222
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: He needs he needs a breaking job that pays more

223
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: than what it's paying.

224
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: He needs to love making money.

225
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So lately he said he no longer wants

226
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: to spend money on me, claiming I don't do the

227
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: same for him, even though I spend most of my

228
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: disposable income on us. For example, I suggested a date recently,

229
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: but he turned it down as it would be expensive.

230
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: They should really trim their budget down. I think, you know,

231
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: really just kind of like rip out a bunch of.

232
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: And let me say when it grows back in, it's

233
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: so bad. Yeah, it's so bad. He suggested. I find

234
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: something else. I found an aquarium, which is way cheaper

235
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: than the original suggestion. First he said okay, then after

236
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: an argument about finances, said I could buy my own ticket.

237
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: I can't afford to, not due to lack of money,

238
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: but just careful budgeting, because op, he's trying to get

239
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: better at all of our stuff, and said, in that case,

240
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: we go another time when it was within my budget.

241
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: He just got upset, saying I'm using him to have

242
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: fun experiences. That is laughably untrue, as I'd been saving

243
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: way more if I was single, as I would be

244
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: paying for food or dates or fuel to go see him.

245
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: Sure it's nice to be treated to fund dates and

246
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: fancy meals, but if I want to do those things,

247
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I can do it with Fred way less often, for sure,

248
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: due to my smaller budget, but not never. I feel

249
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: like he's manipulating me financially. Got him on the nose,

250
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: baby girl. I acknowledge I've spent on vacations and don't

251
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: have his financial experience. He's wealthier and has lived on

252
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: his own since eighteen and now temporarily is back home.

253
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: But paying rent, I mean, how wealthy could he be?

254
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: When you say wealthy, I mean how wealthy could he

255
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: be if he's saying he's going to pay for stuff

256
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: and not when I was away at college and I

257
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: don't pay rent. He also comments on this, by the way,

258
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: saying I should just pay rent out of respect, but

259
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: I ignore this as we just have different family dynamics. My

260
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: family would never allow me to pay rent. My dad

261
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: sneaks fifty dollars into my account sometimes if he thinks

262
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: I've spent too much on groceries for us. However, I

263
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: feel like I'm doing the best to save while still

264
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: enjoying life within reason. So am I being unresponsible or

265
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: is he being manipulative? Reddit advice please there is a

266
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: little bit more to this story. But by the way,

267
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: you can join his live every weekday on YouTube three

268
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: pm PST Just Tapper profile. But before we finish out

269
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: this story, do you think ope is being unreasonable?

270
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: Listen, there's a lot of people out there who let

271
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: all of these like you know, miscellaneous expenses grow when

272
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: they don't they don't need to be there, right, we

273
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 2: need to rip all those out. Well, guess what.

274
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: OPI has already ripped out all of the extraneous expenses, right.

275
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: It is a This is a clean, smooth, shiny budget. Okay,

276
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: they're like, OPI has only paid one thousand dollars for

277
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: this big vacation. That is very smart, fifty dollars for

278
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 3: the ring that is very smart. Op is on top

279
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: of it. She has completely ripped out all of the

280
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: unnecessary expenses.

281
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: Now it's time to eat out at home.

282
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: Because she's already budgeted really well, and he's controlling current

283
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 3: being meanificully, and that's all I need to say.

284
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: That John couldn't have put it better myself exactly, That's

285
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And the matter of fairness, his trust

286
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: issues due to his ax also extend to me, as

287
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: I lied about and hid some pretty big things from him,

288
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: not money related. We broke up as he was understandably

289
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: devastated by them, but have since got back together as

290
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: love and friendship is there provided I work hard to

291
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: prove I'm a changed person. I think this explains his

292
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: mindset a lot too, so it's only fair to include

293
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: I've definitely made his trust issues worse, and I'm far

294
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: from a perfect victim or anything like that. What did

295
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: you do? I want to know?

296
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of just spoiled the whole.

297
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: Now it's like I don't know what to believe.

298
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they deleted their account.

299
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 4: Oh oh oh my god.

300
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: We were really thrown for a looprown for a loop?

301
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: Wow? Wait wait, let's.

302
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 4: Say a tight circle last a clean, tight circle, clean

303
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 4: tight circle.

304
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's anything but clean, dirty, dirty it up.

305
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: It's like you only do one rip and then give

306
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: up after exactly.

307
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: This makes so much sense, now, does it makes sense.

308
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: I did. I actually I have trimmed. I have trimmed.

309
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: He has trimmed.

310
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did. I think it was I think it

311
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: was appreciated in New York.

312
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: Know, that's what happened to New York. Give us one

313
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: hit a story of one okay story.

314
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Okay, first New York dating. New York dating compared to

315
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: LA is a completely different bone game. And how so

316
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: there are so many people in New York. The density

317
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: of New York is unrivaled. So like you know, in LA,

318
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: when I'm here, I maybe get like one or two

319
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: matches a day. Right in New York, it was like

320
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: dad to day and everyone was willing to meet. And

321
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: apparently there are more women than men in New York.

322
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: I've heard that too.

323
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: And also I think the women there are just like

324
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: more direct and like this is what I want, and

325
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: like come over here, and like they're making their own

326
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: money and they're not like really like they're like powerful women.

327
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well just just take some hot waxes, have.

328
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: It around and just rip your heart out. And so

329
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: I had fun in New York and I went on

330
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,120

331
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: much cuter in person than her photos. Interesting move, and

332
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,680

00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: she came in looking really cute, and she kind of

348
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: had this like hot New York girl like uninterested vibe initially,

349
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and I was I'm just like my like goofy, golden retrieverself,

Speaker 1: and then like midway through she's like, all right, that's funny,

353
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and then like a third time she kind of laughed

00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: was a suggestion. But I liked her a lot, so

405
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,800

406
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:17,520

407
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: We got a walk before we run.

408
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: We got to walk before we run exactly exactly. I

409
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to move too fast. And then we went

410
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: on a second day the next day and then maybe

411
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: I'll see he soon.

412
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: Guys, this is some prime time okay, story times right here,

413
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, you got.

414
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: More for us than the later.

415
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun. It was a super

416
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: fun date. I think, like also, competition in New York

417
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: is like very low because everyone's a boring finance guy

418
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: and so if you're just like a little bit different,

419
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: I think people really like that.

420
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: That's real crazy. That's what my buddy kids said, because

421
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 2: he lived there for a while. Yeah, dude, interesting.

422
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: I always thought in New York, Oh, there's like all

423
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: different kinds of but problems especially if you're in Manhattan.

424
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm it rises. I think it rises, like that's what

425
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: rises to the top is like the boring finance guy

426
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: and so like if you're like a hell of goofy

427
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: gold retriever podcast host, kind of a win breaking through

428
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: like a win kind of a win. Yeah, so would

429
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: be a good title for this. Oh, good title, I think,

430
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: like how I started, Like the New York dating scene

431
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: is so much crazier than the LA dating scene. And

432
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about my date there, there we go.

433
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: What about reverse catfish? Oh? I got reverse catfished in

434
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: New York when I went on a hinge date. But

435
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: it kind of went well.

436
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 2: Boom, we got them.
