BIL seems like he's a long ways from accountability and maturity. Good luck!

Sounds like he is bad at his job

Turnpike Lane

1/17/23 4:39pm

I don’t think he will be moving out of my house anytime with that amount of debt. I’m curious what is employer would

wildlandfireguy

Joke is on you then.

Turnpike Lane

1/17/23 4:41pm

You are right. The big joke is on me.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:43pm

Does he tithe?

Stalwartbob

Give him a deadline...You gotta get him out of your house.

You sure? Looks like he's taking advantage of free or cheap money at every turn

Mortgage debt? Credit Card debt? What’s the difference?

mvtoro

Haha, yeah it's a distinction worth paying attention too.

SnickSnack

Kiss off the 2K❗

MichCoug

1/17/23 4:40pm

2K is the least of the worries. You could have a long term house guest.

Ycrazy

1/17/23 4:43pm

$100k is enough to make serious progress on the debt.

Cougar-Duck

1/17/23 4:40pm

He has a wife, a child and another child on the way.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:43pm

So they have a small family and they are that deep in debt? Crazy how people

Apparently you've never tried living at Disney World for a year. It adds up.

But, always first in line for the rides.

Stalwartbob

If he's not paying rent he should easily be able to put $2k/month toward the debt.

John Doe

1/17/23 4:49pm

Charge them rent, and then if you want to be a sweetheart contribute it to paying off his CC debt.

mvtoro

1/17/23 4:56pm

Still. I’m guessing the aunt isn’t charging interest (certainly not 19%). Living with you he should be able to get a

mvtoro

How does a grown man with a family put himself in that position? Stunning.

Backcountry

People are dumb. It proves itself in millions of ways every day.

mvtoro

1/17/23 5:08pm

Lack of self-control. Some people who suffer from depression are also impulsive spenders to make themselves feel better.

John Doe

1/17/23 5:08pm

100k on debt isnt hard. A decent czr can cost 60 to 100k , Heloc to

CarolinaCoug

1/17/23 5:22pm

I don’t think anyone thinks it’s hard to swipe the card. They’re saying how can anyone be irresponsible enough to keep

mvtoro

1/17/23 5:31pm

This isn't going to end well.

dYrtbYkerYder

1/18/23 7:55am

A guy making $100k can easily afford to live outside your house.

kccougar

1/17/23 5:06pm

I wouldnt say easily in Utah. But he could put a roof over his head.

Backcountry

1/17/23 5:49pm

Easily.

2.4% Yeah, she’s a sweetheart, but to someone who ignores their CC debt that tiny rate feels more like a justification

1/17/23 5:07pm

Don’t enable this. He needs to man up and ride this out. Either it will end up

cougarim

1/17/23 5:11pm

Of all people he’s best prepared to show you the plan to get out of your house,

BYU'01

1/17/23 5:13pm

With $100K/annum, he can live outside your house. I’d tell him if he wants to stay after 1 Feb. he has to give you $5K

mvtoro

1/17/23 5:20pm

A man's greatest skill oftentimes is being low maintenance.

calvindyer

Hopefully you gave them a deadline on when to move out by

Huge Manatee

is his dad this doctor?

hxmCougar2000

1/17/23 4:42pm

Please post his name so none of us ever get suckered into using him

Backcountry

1/17/23 4:43pm

Probably should but I think some people on here work for that company.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:44pm

Yeah, don’t do that

JOPE

1/17/23 4:51pm

Did you not know before allowing them to move in? No preset amount of time? No details?

Grit for Brains

1/17/23 4:44pm

They called my wife and said we are moving back to Utah we need a place to stay for a few weeks before we get a place.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:45pm

Rental properties run credit checks. He may not qualify to rent at most places.

Cougar-Duck

1/17/23 4:47pm

Yeah he won’t qualify.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:48pm

You could try to charge them rent

Huge Manatee

1/17/23 4:50pm

I am going to. They have 0 savings and he just came home with a new PS5. I’m ticked.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:54pm

Change the wi-fi password and see how much enjoys playing it w/o internet

Huge Manatee

1/17/23 4:58pm

Ahhh, also addicted video game guy. They clearly have a multitude of problems. Won't learn until the hard knocks come.

Grit for Brains

1/17/23 4:58pm

Repo it.

Backcountry

1/17/23 5:04pm

Yeah. That would be the end for me. I’d tell him to return it and send the money

Nakedbootleg

This is the best part of this story so far. Alpha move on his part

DiamondMo

CrashMcLarson

1/17/23 6:07pm

Please, please, please tell me this is true. You can't make this stuff up.

Spaniard

1/17/23 6:50pm

So when are you going to have the talk?

kccougar

1/17/23 4:47pm

I don’t know how to have the talk. They will be on the street if I do.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:56pm

But nothing will ever change unless they see that as their reality.

Grit for Brains

No they won't.

Oh. I’m going to start charging them rent.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:53pm

This $50k debt was racked up in 9 months. They blew through their $40k they made from the sale of their house and

wildlandfireguy

Everyone looking for a financial planner in Lehi is now looking elsewhere

Don Carlton

1/17/23 4:48pm

I feel sorry for the aunt.

LeGrandBleu

1/17/23 4:49pm

He had a 15 year plan to pay her back. She will be dead by then. She’s really upset.

wildlandfireguy

1/17/23 4:54pm

She should ask him to sign a note that she can transfer to someone else after her death. It’s her money.

mvtoro

1/17/23 5:01pm

She should've known better.

If they're serious about paying off the debt, they could do it comfortably in

With that type of debt, I would seriously hope the wife starts working

cougarim

Yep. I wouldn't let them stay but if they did I would say to him that I own his finances at that point

So he pays you

Archaea

1/17/23 5:23pm

how do you know his income?

lukeskywalker

If he really makes $9k a month he should be able to put $3-4k a minimum toward

Socrates Johnson

1/17/23 5:33pm

Ddean

Is he really making 100K a year?

Jennerstein

It’s going to be really awkward

CrimsonCardinal

He only makes $100k. No way he's on CB.
