Transcript

This is how much debt and this is where it's going. I'm savagely paying this off without my wife knowing and she's going to be in for a world of surprise when I tell her. There are nearly 7,000 new debt homies here in the past two to three days. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here. We are crushing this debt one day at a time through engagement and to be completely honest, I'm running out of money because y'all are engaging and sharing so much. I'm in a tough spot because I want these payments to be so big that we can pay this down even faster. I'm going to find a way to make this up. I promise I owe this to y'all. We got 495 shares from Instagram yesterday, which means $24.75 will be going into the fund. I also have to give a huge shout out to Julia for the donation yesterday. It's never ever necessary but very much appreciated. It's going to go right into the fund with today's payment. This is our total after today's payment. I'm feeling so, so good about this. Please share, watch this video all the way through to help me out the most. In the comments, I would love to hear like a funny or embarrassing moment that you've had in your life. Let's get some good laughs today, dead homies. I love y'all. Have a great Sunday and I will see you tomorrow.
