Hi, my name is Vanessa
and I'm 21 years old.
-
Hi, my name is Anthony,
I'm 22 years old from Houston.
-
WOAHHH
-
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.
-
Uhm, so wait but they're two
-
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?
-
Okay I guess we're avoiding day care
-
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
when they were young.
-
I guess it's actually a very normal thing
-
For so many people,
-
But to me it just blows my mind,
-
As a 29 year old who's like,
-
I can't even imagine
having a kid yet,
-
I'm like, "please,
I'm just a little baby,"
-
So, it's like, how the fuck?
Like...
-
- (Anthony) Yeah, we're...
- Whoo! But, okay.
-
Good for you guys.
Planned?
-
- (Anthony) Hmm...
- (Vanessa) No.
-
- (Anthony) 50/50.
- (Vanessa) We knew what we were doing.
-
Okay, you're a professional meat wrapper,
you should've wrapped that meat.
-
Yeah. That wasn't my job yet.
-
(laughs) Not yet, okay.
-
Wow. So how old's the kid?
-
He's two.
-
Woah, so this was—
this was young.
-
Similar to, like, when my parents had me.
-
Okay. Wow.
-
So we're relying on the single income
of 16.50?
-
At, potentially, sometimes
30 hours a week?
-
How are we doing off of that?
-
We're barely making it.
-
I mean, we're still going past it,
but it's kind of...
-
We don't have no extra money
for nothing.
-
Yeah. If I need money, I would
ask my mom.
-
Be like, "Oh, can I borrow
this much?"
-
Borrow? How much are we
borrowing from your mom?
-
Right now? I owe her 50.
Not much.
-
50 dollars?
-
But, how often are
-
Pretty often
-
We're paydaying from our mom?
