Thank you for having me.

I have a question about baby step number one.

And I kind of want you to give me a bit of a critique on if you think I'm real serious about this or not.

Okay, so I am halfway through baby step number one, working on saving that $1,000.

And unfortunately, in my city, well, really in all of Shreveport, Bossier, and some of the architects, our power was out.

And so I had to throw away my whole fridge, basically, and refill it, and it set me back a bit.

But that's neither really here nor there.

The electricity's back on.

Great.

But it's like every time I start to save my money, it's something like this happens to me.

And I'm not really complaining about it.

I'm a little frustrated, but I am starting to wonder if maybe I just am not making enough money

What do you make?

Right now, I'm making $2,000 a month.

I live really, really cheap.

I don't have a lot of expenses, but I do have a ton of debt.

I am making, like I said, $2,000 a month.

I pay $650 a month for my rent, a couple hundred dollars a month, like $237 a month for my car, plus another $100 for my insurance, $100 for my phone.

You know, things like that.

How old are you?
