00:00:25.728 --> 00:00:27.866
Hi, my name is Vanessa 
and I'm 21 years old.

00:00:27.866 --> 00:00:30.481
Hi, my name is Anthony, 
I'm 22 years old from Houston.

00:00:30.481 --> 00:00:32.050
And this is the Financial Audit.

00:00:33.029 --> 00:00:35.283
THE Financial Audit!

00:00:35.403 --> 00:00:36.837
We'll start with you, Vanessa.

00:00:36.837 --> 00:00:38.506
What do you do for a living at 21?

00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:39.493
I'm a meat wrapper.

00:00:39.795 --> 00:00:42.320
Meat wrapper. Wrapping that meat,
that's exciting.

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:43.981
I bet you love that. So...

00:00:43.999 --> 00:00:45.575
How much do we make doing that?

00:00:46.578 --> 00:00:47.879
An hour, or?

00:00:48.848 --> 00:00:49.667
Yeah, sure.

00:00:49.901 --> 00:00:51.420
16.50 an hour.

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.452
Okay, 16.50 an hour. How many 
hours a week

00:00:54.452 --> 00:00:56.779
- Are we working, currently?
- Vanessa: 30 to 40.

00:00:56.789 --> 00:00:59.944
30 to 40. How inconsistent?

00:01:03.221 --> 00:01:07.533
Kind of inconsistently. I just started
to get into it, so, yeah.

00:01:07.533 --> 00:01:08.604
This is a new job?

00:01:08.881 --> 00:01:10.616
A new position. 
I've been working at

00:01:10.616 --> 00:01:12.526
the same store for like,
over a year now.

00:01:12.526 --> 00:01:13.553
I just transferred.

00:01:13.745 --> 00:01:15.266
And what do you do 
for a living?

00:01:15.318 --> 00:01:18.092
For right now, I'm a stay-at-home
dad, but I...

00:01:18.092 --> 00:01:19.283
You guys have a kid?

00:01:19.283 --> 00:01:20.152
(Both) Yeah.

00:01:20.240 --> 00:01:21.238
Okay.

00:01:21.708 --> 00:01:24.477
I know people used to have kids
when they were young.

00:01:24.477 --> 00:01:26.446
I guess it's actually a very normal thing

00:01:26.446 --> 00:01:27.376
For so many people,

00:01:27.376 --> 00:01:28.940
But to me it just blows my mind,

00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:30.279
As a 29 year old who's like,

00:01:30.279 --> 00:01:32.044
I can't even imagine
having a kid yet,

00:01:32.044 --> 00:01:34.090
I'm like, "please,
I'm just a little baby,"

00:01:34.129 --> 00:01:37.313
So, it's like, how the fuck?
Like...

00:01:38.355 --> 00:01:40.585
- (Anthony) Yeah, we're...
- Whoo! But, okay.

00:01:40.585 --> 00:01:42.789
Good for you guys.
Planned?

00:01:43.462 --> 00:01:45.036
- (Anthony) Hmm...
- (Vanessa) No.

00:01:45.036 --> 00:01:47.764
- (Anthony) 50/50.
- (Vanessa) We knew what we were doing.

00:01:47.764 --> 00:01:51.240
Okay, you're a professional meat wrapper,
you should've wrapped that meat.

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:54.696
Yeah. That wasn't my job yet.

00:01:54.696 --> 00:01:56.379
(laughs) Not yet, okay.

00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:58.561
Wow. So how old's the kid?

00:01:58.561 --> 00:01:59.564
He's two.

00:01:59.861 --> 00:02:02.240
Woah, so this was—
this was young.

00:02:02.744 --> 00:02:05.855
Similar to, like, when my parents had me.

00:02:05.855 --> 00:02:07.806
Okay. Wow.

00:02:07.806 --> 00:02:11.704
So we're relying on the single income
of 16.50?

00:02:11.704 --> 00:02:14.463
At, potentially, sometimes 
30 hours a week?

00:02:14.463 --> 00:02:16.951
How are we doing off of that?

00:02:17.769 --> 00:02:19.556
We're barely making it.

00:02:19.556 --> 00:02:23.267
I mean, we're still going past it,
but it's kind of...

00:02:23.267 --> 00:02:25.183
We don't have no extra money
for nothing.

00:02:25.183 --> 00:02:27.310
Yeah. If I need money, I would
ask my mom.

00:02:27.310 --> 00:02:29.132
Be like, "Oh, can I borrow 
this much?"

00:02:29.132 --> 00:02:32.376
Borrow? How much are we
borrowing from your mom?

00:02:32.376 --> 00:02:34.542
Right now? I owe her 50.
Not much.

00:02:34.542 --> 00:02:35.266
50 dollars?

00:02:35.266 --> 00:02:36.830
But, how often are

00:02:38.231 --> 00:02:39.192
Pretty often

00:02:39.192 --> 00:02:41.503
We're paydaying from our mom?

00:02:42.262 --> 00:02:44.902
Okay stay at home dad obviously

00:02:44.902 --> 00:02:45.909

Okay I guess we're avoiding day care

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Day care is expensive

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why is the stay at home dad

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was like uh It was a small shop

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I was in the back

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just taking out the orders that they order

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But he was he was selling

Selling....

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh under the table?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Type stuff

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Not really legal

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oh fuck

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No no no.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
No that's what the shop was

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Why wasn't it legally sold?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I mean it was just Texas is not legal here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But the shop was to sell it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh well the shop wasn't registered

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
basically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So it wasn't it wasnt like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Cause I know next to my Condo

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when I used to

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I can say it cause I don't live there

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh it was on Boulevard

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And theres like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Like this collection of shops

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And theres a shop

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that grows weed out the window

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they sell it in a way where they're

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like if this

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
catches on fire

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and smoke comes from it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you know

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that might be something that happens

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that was they're legal way of being

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
able to sell it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and they sell like a certain strain thats

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
legal

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it sounds like you guys aren't doing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is just like straight

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I know it's illegal in Texas

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But like places in Austin they

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
don't enforce it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah well I mean

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They just like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They didn't like really uh

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It wasn't they didn't build

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
enough towards it to where

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to get attention from like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
police or anything

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like no one that was like suspecting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
anything

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah cause its like actually dangerous

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
things happen

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yeah so it was just like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
uhmn

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
under

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
under the table

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like you said like

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
