That's one of my problems that I have. Hold on, hold on. I have too much of a heart.
No, I will never let this happen again.
For my own car or the one I co-signed for?
It's like, I think it's like $30,000 in value.
Well, here's the thing. She's still making the payments, even though they're late payments, but she's still making the payments, which is the part that confuses me here. And I get the feeling that she's, I suspect that she's using my money to make the payments on the car.
I cut off all communication. I couldn't take it no more. She's a weirdo. She is a narcissist, okay?
If she were to refinance it, she's not going to be able to do it until July of this year because I co-signed for the car last year in July. And at CarMax, you have to wait a year to refinance the car.
Yeah, she didn't have good credit, which is why I helped co-sign for the car in the first place.
It might be 12%. I'm not sure. I have to call about it.
Yeah. Okay?
How are you? Fantastic.
Yeah, I have an issue that I've been dealing with for the past few months. Okay, I recently got scammed by someone that I thought was a friend. And it's a very complex story. It's kind of hard to explain. I don't know if I have enough time to explain it.
Okay, well, this started in California before I moved back to Florida. There's two different parts to this story.
I sent her money to help with her lymphedema surgery that she was supposed to get, but she never did it. She kept making excuses on why she can't get the surgery and all this stuff. And then the other part was co-signing a car for her, which I co-signed a car for her before I left to come back to Florida. The money part was after I came back to Florida.
I sent it through Cash App and Apple Cash. Okay, and how much did you send? It was somewhere between $30,000 to $35,000. And you had this money in cash?
I didn't have it straight up cash in my bank account.
I was already in debt, but now I'm in more debt. I feel like the dumbest person in the world talking about this to anybody. No, you're good, man.
No, that's how much I lost. Okay. I owe way more in debt than that. I owe way more in debt than that. I have credit card debts, student loan debts. Yeah, you were in a bad situation before this.
Yeah, because I helped this person and they screwed me over.
I've been having a hard time doing that.
I forgive myself on national radio.
Of what I owe in, like, everything? Yes. Oh, I mean, it's a lot. I have to add it up.
I mean, if you add everything with what I owe on my car, to my credit card debt, to my student loan debt, to what I owe the IRS, it's like probably more than $100,000. Okay.
Right now, if I had to make a guess, like $40,000 a year. And what are you doing for work? For taxes, I work at FedEx.
Can you? I'm barely hanging on by a thin string. Okay. All right. And, you know, I was doing so – I wouldn't say I wasn't doing, like, really bad, but I had a little something going, okay? I was investing in crypto for, like, almost seven years, and all that's gone because I – I sacrificed and helped this person out, and they screwed me over. I was too trusting. I had too much of a heart.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
