5 min readPampered Princess Thinks Poverty Is Easy | Financial Audit
Iris, 25, walks into the studio with a confession: she's the baby of her family, she's never had to think about money, and she's been living in "ignorance's bliss." She moved from Chicago to Charleston after a breakup, works as a restaurant manager making $60,000 a year, and has $61,902.51 in total debt — about $45,000 in student loans and $17,000 in bad debt across credit cards and a personal loan. Her parents still pay for her car and her phone. She has no emergency fund. And last month, she spent $4,534.47 against $3,100 in income.
The host, Caleb Hammer, doesn't let her frame this as a past problem. When she says she "was" bad with money, he stops her: "If you're saying six thousand, I mean you still are. There's no change." She spent over a thousand dollars on restaurants alone last month — a third of her previous income. Her minimum credit card payments total $713.98 per month, and she's been making only those minimums while continuing to spend more on the same cards. On her Capital One card, she's on track to take 22 years to pay it off if she keeps making minimum payments and keeps spending. She's already had two late fees this year.
