[00:54:14] Ramit: You spent more cash than you made. And I’d be prepared to guess that you simply’re spending a comparable quantity most months, though Christmas was in December, there’s in all probability one thing that occurs in July, and so on, and generally there’s a giant expense that blows up and we’ve to amortize or unfold that out. So that you’re in all probability spending round a 1,000 to 1,500 bucks additional monthly than you even mirror right here.

[00:54:43] Kenna: I might see that.

[00:54:44] Ramit: What do you consider that, Ryan? I see you simply staring off into house proper now.

[00:54:47] Ryan: I’m not staring off into house. It’s simply so annoying that we even allowed ourselves to get into this place.

[00:54:54] Ramit: Yeah.

[00:54:56] Ryan: It’s like we each, like– I feel we each contemplate ourselves semi-intelligent folks, and it’s like you’ll be able to see your self taking place the trail and also you simply don’t cease it. You simply let it go after which, oh, no matter. We’ll take care of it in some unspecified time in the future. I imply, I’ve even advised her earlier than. I’m like, nicely, we simply make the minimal funds after which once we promote this home, we’ll simply use the fairness from this home to repay the bank card debt, after which we’ll be at zero once more. After which her subsequent reply or subsequent assertion is, yeah, till we get one other bank card after which do that entire factor over once more. After which I am going, no.

[00:55:30] Ryan: We don’t do that over once more.

[00:55:32] Kenna: Which is why slicing the playing cards–

[00:55:34] Ryan: Dig ourselves out this time, and that’s it.

[00:55:36] Ramit: Okay.

[00:55:38] Ryan: After which as a substitute of a $1,000 going in the direction of our bank card debt, a $1,000, not even a 1,000, $700 might go to a retirement account and $300 a month might be for us to eat out. If we don’t– uh, simply silly in my youthful years.
