| 0:04.3 | Start budgeting for free today. |
| 0:06.8 | So my wife was a travel nurse and we financed an RV fifth wheel and currently upside down on it by $40,000. |
| 0:19.0 | Oh man. |
| 0:20.0 | Dude, that's a kick000. Oh, man. I tried to get rid of it. |
| 0:37.8 | Dude, that's a kick in the guts, man. Yeah. And so we bought a house because we were going to, we just said it to settle down and we were going to get rid of the RV. Well, when we went to go get rid of the RV, we found out that we were 40,000 upside down. Okay. Can I ask who gave you the estimate of what it's worth today? |
| 0:44.0 | I, I booked it. |
| 0:46.2 | Okay, okay. |
| 0:48.0 | And I've tried private sell at length. |
