Caleb Hanmer is shocked by how this couple spend😳 They make about $11,000/month yet sit on $178,312.57 in bad debt. No mortgage just cars, credit cards, and buy-now-pay-later stacking up. One car loan is $49,668 on a $39K vehicle at 9% interest, another near 10%. Credit cards are maxed or over the limit, and minimum payments alone hit $3,823/month. Despite the income, spending on hobbies and random purchases keeps going while progress stays flat. Worst part is one partner doesn’t even fully know how deep the debt really goes.

@Ankara_inc @tokyo_111 People make money and all of a sudden forget about the future. They only think about spending today

During an interview, Barkley told Shannon Sharpe that 80% of athletes go broke because they spend to impress instead of investing for the future. Drawing on advice from Dr. J and Janet Hill, he warned against status spending and putting family on permanent payroll. His blueprint? Junior Bridgeman, who skipped the flash and quietly built a restaurant empire. His message to today’s rookies: a 10-year career has to fund an 80-year life.

@Tokyo_pi1 Welcome to reality

Boomer: “Skip the $5 coffee and you’ll save money.” Gen Z: “That’s $1,040 a year. My rent just went up $600 a month = $7,200 more annually.” So I cut coffee and ‘saved’ $1,040… but I’m still down $6,160. This advice only works in an economy where wages keep up with costs. They don’t.

CALLER:“I make $120,000 a year and I’m broke.” DAVE:“Show me your budget.” $1,100 car payment. $850 eating out. $600 shopping. $400 subscriptions. You don’t have a money problem. You have a spending problem.

@Ankara_inc Wages don’t match the energy we put into our work

Just an opinion but: NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO FOR WORK WHETHER IT’S SERVING FOOD, FIXING CARS, OR COLLECTING TRASH, IF YOU’RE GIVING UP 40 HOURS OF YOUR WEEK TO EARN A LIVING, YOU DESERVE A WAGE THAT ACTUALLY COVERS THAT LIVING. Your time is valuable simply because you’re a human being, full stop. The fact that this is even up for debate is honestly telling. It reveals just how little regard people have for one another. Hard work is hard work, and every person putting in those hours deserves to be able to make ends meet.

@Tiara_arc @Tokyo_pi1 Trust isn’t in this relationship

WIFE: “We’ve been married a year. We share accounts, paid off debt together, and I made you the beneficiary of everything I own. Why won’t you add me to the deed?” HUSBAND: “I’ll just put it in my will.” WIFE: “Then why are your friends and family listed as beneficiaries instead of me?” DAVE RAMSEY: “This isn’t just an estate planning issue. It’s a trust issue. When you build walls instead of unity, the marriage pays the price.”

@Ankara_inc @Tokyo_pi1 Sad reality

Boomer: I suggest you simply buy a house, but the numbers tell a brutal story: with a $430K median home price, a $35K salary, $86K down payment needed, saving every single dollar of income would take two and a half years. By then, prices would have climbed another $50K . The math is merciless.

CALLER: “Dave, my boomer grandpa says my generation is lazy because I rent an apartment for $1,400 a month. He bought a house for $62,000 in 1982 and reminds me every Thanksgiving. What he doesn’t mention is that he still owes $173,000 on that house, has $52,000 in credit card debt, financed a $78,000 truck at 8%, and borrowed $40,000 from my aunt last year.” DAVE RAMSEY: “Your grandpa thinks he’s teaching a finance class. What he’s really doing is presenting a case study.”

@Ankara_inc @Tokyo_pi1 45? Living with your parents? What is wrong with you

Caller: “My parents still support my 45year old brother”. Unpopular opinion: Some people aren’t “struggling to find themselves.” They’re just being funded by parents who are too scared to say no. And the siblings always pay the price.

BOOMER: “Young people waste too much money.” ME: “College costs $40,000 a year.” BOOMER: “Get scholarships.” ME: “Most graduates leave with debt.” BOOMER: “Work while studying.” Funny how every solution requires students to do more.

@Ankara_inc @Tokyo_pi1 Tough😣

My Dad bought a house at 29. One income. Three kids. Stay-at-home wife. The house cost 2.5x his annual salary. Today that same house costs nearly 9x the average salary. All people say now is: “Just work harder.” The math changed.

@Ankara_inc @tokyo_111 I second him on this statement

On February 6, 2026, at a pre-Olympics press conference ahead of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony, U.S. freestyle skier Hunter Hess set off a massive firestorm with this line: “Just because I wear the flag, it doesn’t mean I represent everything that is going on in the U.S.” After months, this is what he made out of that statement. Olympic skier Hunter Hess of Bend explains how he turned the controversy into a fundraiser benefiting youth action sports programs.
