CREDIT CARD DEBT

  • Anna got a credit card in college
  • Ran up a lot of debt
    • Felt insurmountable
  • You have to be careful!
  • Easy to think it’s free money, but it certainly isn’t
  • Very common to have hundreds of thousands in debt, sadly
  • Anna paid it off a little every year
    • Set goals!
  • There is a difference between being responsible and being stingy/having no fun
  • Really we should learn how to balance our checkbooks in school

AEROBIC ACTIVITY

  • Vinnie did about 15 hours of aerobic activity over two days
  • Have some F-Bombs, have hard boiled eggs, pickle juice

MEDICAL RIPOFFS

  • One of Anna’s friends goes to a functional doctor
  • Doctor gives her a $1200 shot
    • Not covered by insurance
  • Supposed to curb hunger — technically diabetes medication
  • These things are ripoffs
    • Eat healthier, don’t put this expensive, do-nothing steroidal crap in your body
  • “May help” lose weight
  • Pretty much always, these quick-fixes don’t work
  • This drug says you also need to eat low-cal and workout
    • It’s BS
