Hi, my name is Vanessa[br]and I'm 21 years old.

0:00:27.759,0:00:30.301
Hi, my name is Anthony,[br]I'm 22 years old from Houston.

0:00:30.379,0:00:32.119
And this is the Financial Audit.

0:00:33.063,0:00:35.296
THE Financial Audit!

0:00:35.590,0:00:37.001
We'll start with you, Vanessa.

0:00:37.001,0:00:38.528
What do you do for a living at 21?

0:00:38.528,0:00:39.748
I'm a meat wrapper.

0:00:39.808,0:00:42.353
Meat wrapper. Wrapping that meat,[br]that's exciting.

0:00:42.353,0:00:43.962
I bet you love that. So...

0:00:44.055,0:00:45.558
How much do we make doing that?

0:00:46.727,0:00:47.803
An hour, or?

0:00:48.854,0:00:49.587
Yeah, sure.

0:00:49.856,0:00:51.461
16.50 an hour.

0:00:51.611,0:00:53.829
Okay, 16.50 an hour.

0:00:53.829,0:00:55.915
How many hours a week[br]are we working, currently?

0:00:55.915,0:00:56.890
30 to 40.

0:00:56.890,0:01:00.274
30 to 40. How inconsistent?

0:01:03.347,0:01:07.608
Kind of inconsistently. I just started[br]to get into it, so, yeah.

0:01:07.682,0:01:09.064
This is a new job?

0:01:09.072,0:01:10.638
A new position. [br]I've been working at

0:01:10.638,0:01:12.086
the same store for like,[br]over a year now.

0:01:12.394,0:01:13.311
I just transferred.

0:01:14.010,0:01:15.280
And what do you do [br]for a living?

0:01:15.390,0:01:18.201
For right now, I'm a stay-at-home[br]dad, but I...

0:01:18.410,0:01:19.317
You guys have a kid?

0:01:19.317,0:01:20.028
(Both) Yeah.

0:01:20.121,0:01:20.905
Okay.

0:01:21.778,0:01:24.782
I know people used to have kids[br]when they were young.

0:01:24.782,0:01:26.483
I guess it's actually a very normal thing

0:01:26.483,0:01:27.301
For so many people,

0:01:27.301,0:01:29.014
But to me it just blows my mind,

0:01:29.014,0:01:30.280
As a 29 year old who's like,

0:01:30.280,0:01:32.036
I can't even imagine[br]having a kid yet,

0:01:32.036,0:01:34.135
I'm like, "please,[br]I'm just a little baby,"

0:01:34.291,0:01:37.658
So, it's like, how the (censored)?[br]Like...

0:01:38.338,0:01:40.822
- (Anthony) Yeah, we're...[br]- Whoo! But, okay.

0:01:40.822,0:01:42.955
Good for you guys.[br]Planned?

0:01:43.614,0:01:45.331
- (Anthony) Hmm...[br]- (Vanessa) No.

0:01:45.331,0:01:47.071
- (Anthony) 50/50.[br]- (Vanessa) We knew what we were doing.

0:01:47.071,0:01:50.560
Okay, you're a professional meat wrapper,[br]you should've wrapped that meat.

0:01:50.560,0:01:54.528
Yeah. That wasn't my job yet.

0:01:54.603,0:01:56.209
(laughs) Not yet, okay.

0:01:56.501,0:01:58.533
Wow. So how old's the kid?

0:01:58.662,0:01:59.446
He's two.

0:01:59.585,0:02:02.003
Woah, so this was—[br]this was young.

0:02:02.419,0:02:04.553
Similar to, like, when my parents had me.

0:02:05.450,0:02:07.957
Okay. Wow.

0:02:08.093,0:02:11.627
So we're relying on the single income[br]of 16.50?

0:02:11.876,0:02:14.161
At, potentially, sometimes [br]30 hours a week?

0:02:14.629,0:02:16.946
How are we doing off of that?

0:02:17.669,0:02:19.070
We're barely making it.

0:02:19.212,0:02:23.194
I mean, we're still going past it,[br]but it's kind of...

0:02:23.194,0:02:25.259
We don't have no extra money[br]for nothing.

0:02:25.259,0:02:27.521
Yeah. If I need money, I would[br]ask my mom.

0:02:27.521,0:02:29.247
Be like, "Oh, can I borrow [br]this much?"

0:02:29.277,0:02:31.911
Borrow? How much are we[br]borrowing from your mom?

0:02:32.134,0:02:34.471
Right now? I owe her 50.[br]Not much.

0:02:34.471,0:02:35.436
50 dollars?

0:02:35.633,0:02:37.429
But, how often are we doing this?

0:02:38.119,0:02:39.141
Pretty often.

0:02:39.411,0:02:41.491
We're paydaying from our mom?

0:02:42.232,0:02:45.617
Okay. Stay-at-home dad, obviously,[br]okay, we're

0:02:45.904,0:02:49.789
Breaking gender stereotypes, woah!

0:02:51.307,0:02:52.787
Wait, but they're two.

0:02:52.787,0:02:55.694
Okay, I guess we're avoiding daycare.[br]Daycare is expensive.

0:02:56.748,0:03:00.406
Why is the stay-at-home dad[br]what we've chosen?

0:03:00.406,0:03:04.148
Well, for right now, I mean—[br]I was waiting for a job interview 'cause

0:03:04.341,0:03:07.474
I've already had the interview.[br]I just—I had it on Thursday, but

0:03:08.301,0:03:10.036
I was just waiting for them[br]to call me back.

0:03:10.330,0:03:11.731
How long have you been waiting?

0:03:12.164,0:03:14.314
Two to three weeks.

0:03:14.582,0:03:15.928
It was more like a month.

0:03:16.216,0:03:17.216
Over a month.

0:03:17.288,0:03:18.505
How long have you been out of work?

0:03:18.640,0:03:19.398
A month.

0:03:19.749,0:03:21.600
Oh, what happened—[br]what were you doing?

0:03:22.549,0:03:24.169
I was working at my friend's shop.

0:03:24.525,0:03:26.023
- But, um...[br]- Your friend's shop.

0:03:26.087,0:03:29.018
Yeah, but I had gotten kind of,[br]like, fired from there.

0:03:29.048,0:03:31.174
From your friend? You have to be[br]really bad at your job

0:03:31.174,0:03:32.587
To get fired from a friend,[br]don't you?

0:03:32.587,0:03:34.735
Yeah, I was... [br]well, I mean, I was...

0:03:35.079,0:03:38.040
I was working there for a little bit,[br]for like, a week, but...

0:03:39.406,0:03:41.057
Her and her mother

0:03:41.102,0:03:42.693
were complaining that it[br]wasn't enough pay

0:03:42.711,0:03:45.299
And that I was away from home[br]for a long time

0:03:45.415,0:03:47.835
- Even though it was a really easy job.[br]- You and your mom were complaining

0:03:47.835,0:03:50.269
To his friend, who was his boss[br]at the same time?

0:03:50.269,0:03:51.407
No, we weren't complaining[br]to his friend.

0:03:51.407,0:03:54.244
- We were complaining to him...[br]- And I was complaining to my friend.

0:03:55.395,0:03:56.312
What were you making?

0:03:56.667,0:03:58.369
I was making like...

0:03:58.511,0:04:00.444
He was making, like, [br]13-something an hour.

0:04:00.600,0:04:02.450
What was the shop and[br]what was your position?

0:04:02.722,0:04:04.825
It was like, a... it was[br]a small shop,

0:04:04.842,0:04:06.349
And I was just in [br]the back, just...

0:04:06.884,0:04:08.865
Taking out the orders that[br]they'd order.

0:04:08.902,0:04:10.863
But he was selling.

0:04:11.762,0:04:13.110
Selling...

0:04:13.716,0:04:14.770
Oh, under the table?

0:04:14.789,0:04:17.630
- Yeah, type stuff.[br]- Yeah, so not really legal.

0:04:17.963,0:04:18.938
(censored)

0:04:18.938,0:04:19.814
Yeah.

0:04:20.861,0:04:22.441
Behind your friend's back?

0:04:22.441,0:04:24.873
(both) No, no, no. [br]That's what the shop was.

0:04:25.642,0:04:27.282
Why wasn't it legally sold?

0:04:27.388,0:04:30.293
- I mean, it was just... it's Texas, yeah.[br]- It's Texas. It's not legal here.

0:04:30.362,0:04:32.312
But the shop was to sell it?

0:04:32.519,0:04:34.489
- Well, I mean...[br]- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

0:04:34.626,0:04:37.020
The shop wasn't registered, basically,

0:04:37.020,0:04:38.818
So it wasn't—it wasn't, like...

0:04:38.942,0:04:41.554
'Cause I know next to my condo[br]when I used to—

0:04:41.554,0:04:43.110
I can say it, because [br]I don't live there.

0:04:43.233,0:04:44.930
It was on (censored) Boulevard.

0:04:46.035,0:04:48.426
And there's like— [br]like, this collection of shops,

0:04:48.426,0:04:50.256
There's an Alamo Drafthouse right there,

0:04:50.338,0:04:53.239
And there's a shop that grows[br](censored) in the window,

0:04:53.521,0:04:57.090
And they sell it in a way[br]where they're like,

0:04:58.549,0:05:01.210
If this catches on fire,

0:05:02.456,0:05:04.693
And smoke comes from it, you know,

0:05:04.821,0:05:06.652
That might be something that happens.

0:05:06.740,0:05:09.227
And that was their legal way[br]of being able to sell it

0:05:09.227,0:05:11.479
They sell, like, a certain strain[br]that's legal

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to get attention from like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
police or anything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like no one that was like suspecting

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
anything

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah cause its like actually dangerous

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
things happen

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Yeah so it was just like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
uhmn

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
under

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
under the table

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like you said like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
like stuff on Instagram

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that we have like customers

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why'd you get fired

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Uh my complaining

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Complaining and they didn't have the money

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
for it either I wanna say

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Well it's not that I mean like

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Why didn't he just say no
