Hi, my name is Vanessa
and I'm 21 years old.
-
Hi, my name is Anthony,
I'm 22 years old from Houston.
-
And this is the Financial Audit.
-
THE Financial Audit!
-
We'll start with you, Vanessa.
-
What do you do for a living at 21?
-
I'm a meat wrapper.
-
Meat wrapper. Wrapping that meat,
that's exciting.
-
I bet you love that. So...
-
How much do we make doing that?
-
An hour, or?
-
Yeah, sure.
-
16.50 an hour.
-
Okay, 16.50 an hour. How many
hours a week
-
- Are we working, currently?
- Vanessa: 30 to 40.
-
30 to 40. How inconsistent?
-
Kind of inconsistently. I just started
to get into it, so, yeah.
-
This is a new job?
-
A new position.
I've been working at
-
the same store for like,
over a year now.
-
I just transferred.
-
And what do you do
for a living?
-
For right now, I'm a stay-at-home
dad, but I...
-
You guys have a kid?
-
(Both) Yeah.
-
Okay.
-
I know people used to have kids
-
Not Synced
when they were young
-
Not Synced
I guess it's actually a very normal thing
-
Not Synced
for so many people
-
Not Synced
but to me it blows my mind
-
Not Synced
As a 29 year old
-
Not Synced
Who's like I can't even imagine
-
Not Synced
having a kid yet
-
Not Synced
I'm like please
-
Not Synced
I'm just a wittle baby
-
Not Synced
It's like how the fuck
-
Not Synced

-
Not Synced
Whoo

Not Synced

-
Not Synced
Good for you guys
-
Not Synced
Planned?
-
Not Synced
No

Not Synced
We knew what we were doing
-
Not Synced
Okay you're a professional meet wrapper
-
Not Synced

-
Not Synced

Not Synced
Similar to like when my parents had me
-
Not Synced
Uhm

Not Synced

Not Synced
Wow
-
Not Synced
So we're relying on the single income
-
Not Synced
of 16.50 at potentially sometimes
-
Not Synced
30 hours a week
-
Not Synced
How are we doing off of that?
-
Not Synced
We're barely making it
-
Not Synced
I mean we're still going past it
-
Not Synced
but it's kinda we don't have no extra
-
Not Synced
money for nothing
