Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. Hey, I really need help. I need

help with my financial discipline. I moved my back home this year. My parents told me that I have

0:15.6

this year to fix my finances. I make $105,000 a year and totally'm totally in debt $121,000 in debt.

0:24.1

They allow me to pay a rent of $400 a month for the rest of the year for me to get back on my feet.

0:31.0

$37,000 car? So that was actually even worse. What happened was I actually bought a $72,000 car.

1:38.0

And within a month, I realized that I wasn't going to be able to afford it. So I took it back to

1:41.7
