My name is Dominga Titus. I am 40 years old in Austin, Texas, and this is financial audit.

Well, thank you for coming on here. So this is a follow-up episode. You don't need to have watched the previous episode to watch this one, because this is going to be any other financial audit, just like all of the financial audits.

But to give just a little bit of context, we had a conversation last time, we talked about

the family dynamic, how you and your husband don't share finances at all. Things are very

separate. They're like incredibly separate. And you have experienced homelessness in the past

with your kids. That was very traumatic and, you know and trying to not replicate anything like that in the future.

But there was definitely spending addictions, things on Amazon, just multiple, multiple a day

and just draining the income in endless amount of debts to pay off.

So that was the background previous.

Yes.

How are we looking today?

How do you feel the last six months or so has progressed?

So there was a huge upswing for a while there.

I landed a job before I was a contractor and I was not doing that great,

but I landed a full-time job with about a $15,000 raise in income per year.

However, there have been a couple of setbacks. I had a

total hysterectomy. I had a couple of hit and run car accidents that I had to deal with. And my

husband lost his job two months ago. Oh, no. See, some of the layoffs that we're seeing.

Something like that, yeah. Something like that. okay. Well, what's your current job?

I work for the state, so it's an office manager job, and it's 40 hours a week, two days remote. It's a great situation for me, health care, everything I needed, that I wasn't finding before. Hourly your salary? Salary. What's your salary? 54. 54, cool. But, of course, this is coming to now a single household income.

Yes.

But last time again, you guys split it in very weird ways.
