Transcript

It is Tuesday, June 9th and we still don't have tickets. World Cup opener game, Mexico versus South Africa. And my first episode of my World Cup series, I shared that my husband and I are fulfilling a lifelong dream of going to the World Cup for the first time ever. We're actually traveling to Mexico tomorrow. The opener is on Thursday. We still don't have tickets yet and we're getting a little worried and stressed because my limit for the tickets, like how much I was willing to pay for my ticket was $1,999. $2,000. So anything under 2,000, it'll pain me spending, but I'm okay spending that. My husband thinks that we should just go all out and just buy the tickets. Right now they're around $2,200. Which honestly, saying this out loud, guys, trust me guys, it sounds ridiculous because I grew up low income and never in my wildest dreams that I think that I would be able to spend that kind of money on a soccer game. You, the real soccer is actually my biggest and my greatest love. Actually started playing soccer on this exact field, 15 years ago. So, let me tell you a little story about soccer, field, changed part of my life. In part two, was gonna turn off my vid when this angel appeared. Lol at first I was like, wait, is this my friend? Like I know her?! Y'all, as we started talking, hi, over junk poverty community. Viv, more content. I hope she wins at everything in life. She was so sweet! Thank you. You're the kindest. <3
