The $770,000 Boob Job

Veronica, 37, lives in Austin, Texas. She works as a program manager at Airbnb, co-hosts other people's short-term rentals, and owns a house she bought in May 2024 for $600,000 with 5% down. She makes roughly $225,000 a year from her W-2 job alone, plus another $12,000 to $18,000 annually from managing three other people's Airbnbs. Her mortgage payment is $5,332 a month — about 30% of her net income, which is actually within standard affordability guidelines. She should be fine. She is not fine.

Veronica is $770,000 in debt. She is four months behind on her mortgage. Her contract at Airbnb ends January 31st, and renewal is not guaranteed. She has blown through a $70,000 emergency fund. She has return payment fees on multiple credit cards because she didn't have enough money in her checking account when payments hit. She is overdrafting her checking account while making roughly $225,000 a year.
