Loser Husband Chooses Xbox Over Family | Financial Audit

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?

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
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 (censored)?
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 we doing this?

Pretty often.

We're paydaying from our mom?

Okay. Stay-at-home dad, obviously,
okay, we're

Breaking gender stereotypes, woah!

Wait, but they're two.

Okay, I guess we're avoiding daycare.
Daycare is expensive.

Why is the stay-at-home dad
what we've chosen?

Well, for right now, I mean—
I was waiting for a job interview 'cause

I've already had the interview.
I just—I had it on Thursday, but

I was just waiting for them
to call me back.

How long have you been waiting?

Two to three weeks.

It was more like a month.

Over a month.

How long have you been out of work?

A month.

Oh, what happened—
what were you doing?

I was working at my friend's shop.

- But, um...
- Your friend's shop.

Yeah, but I had gotten kind of,
like, fired from there.

From your friend? You have to be
really bad at your job

To get fired from a friend,
don't you?

Yeah, I was...
well, I mean, I was...

I was working there for a little bit,
for like, a week, but...

Her and her mother

were complaining that it
wasn't enough pay

And that I was away from home
for a long time

- Even though it was a really easy job.
- You and your mom were complaining

To his friend, who was his boss
at the same time?

No, we weren't complaining
to his friend.

- We were complaining to him...
- And I was complaining to my friend.

What were you making?

I was making like...

He was making, like,
13-something an hour.

What was the shop and
what was your position?

It was like, a... it was
a small shop,

And I was just in
the back, just...

Taking out the orders that
they'd order.

But he was selling.

Selling...

Oh, under the table?

- Yeah, type stuff.
- Yeah, so not really legal.

(censored)

Yeah.

Behind your friend's back?

(both) No, no, no.
That's what the shop was.

Why wasn't it legally sold?

- I mean, it was just... it's Texas, yeah.
- It's Texas. It's not legal here.

But the shop was to sell it?

- Well, I mean...
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

The shop wasn't registered, basically,

So it wasn't—it wasn't, like...

'Cause I know next to my condo
when I used to—

I can say it, because
I don't live there.

It was on (censored) Boulevard.

And there's like—
like, this collection of shops,

There's an Alamo Drafthouse right there,

And there's a shop that grows
(censored) in the window,

And they sell it in a way
where they're like,

If this catches on fire,

And smoke comes from it, you know,

That might be something that happens.

And that was their legal way
of being able to sell it

They sell, like, a certain strain
that's legal

So I'm trying to understand. I know its
illegal in Texas but places in Austin

they don't enforce it. Yeah, but I mean,
it's just like they didn't really, uh,

it wasn't, they didn't build enough toward
getting attention from like police

or anything, no one that would like
suspect anything. Yeah, because it was

a dangerous thing. Yeah, so it was just
like, uhm, under the table, like stuff on

Instagram that we have like customers.
Why'd you get fired?

uh, because my complaining.
(Talking over each other)

They have the money for it either I want
to say. Well, it's not that but if-

Why didn't he just say no? uh...
I mean he did say no they always just like

Because we wanted him to find something
better. He was working forty hours,

six days like a normal job you'll get
five days for forty hours. I mean yeah,

It kinda just sounds like a weird job,
small business. Yeah, it was just a small

business I was trying to help them build
it up. Yeah, it wasn't great pay. What

thirteen an hour right? Yeah I mean that
is better then zero dollars an hour

and it ended up becoming zero dollars an
hour. But he had a job before that like

a real job. Oh, when? He quit for
that job.
