5 min readShe Came Here To Fight Me | Financial Audit
Raven, a 31-year-old esthetician and bakery froster from Denver, came onto Financial Audit insisting she wasn't as bad as the other guests. By the end of the episode, her self-assessed financial score of three out of ten had been revised to zero. She owes $17,000 on a credit card heading toward a lawsuit, owes her boyfriend $1,600 after her car broke down, still owes her uncle roughly $2,500 on a car she bought from her grandmother three years ago, and has unpaid medical bills from a seizure hospitalization. She also has not been setting aside money for self-employment taxes, is on a payment plan for previous years' taxes, and is paying $600 a month to National Debt Relief for accounts she stopped paying at their instruction. Her total monthly income from her lash business (about $3,000) and bakery job (about $750 biweekly) comes to roughly $4,500 before taxes.
