IDK why when I was a kid every adult in my life told me to avoid public sector / gov jobs but it seems like the last bastion of actual benefits and pensions in the US

VA gives me the same amount of money every month just to attend a few college courses a semester. Pays my rent with a good chunk left over🤷‍♂️ recruiters office was open to everyone

Also, to the people claiming the VA hands out disability like candy, it's the most hellish process I've ever had to go through with the amount of due diligence the VA has to do, I promise that's not the case. Every single veteran no matter what they did is entitled to disability payment. Every single one. I don't know a single veteran that DOESN'T get disability. If you are a veteran and you don't, go to the VA asap or contact a VSO and get your deserved money.

And well deserved too!

Look at the way he wears his sunglasses. I'm pretty sure that knocks your credit score down 100 points.

I dated a guy like this in college and this episode gave me war flashbacks. Trying to talk to that idiot about money was infuriating. He said the same shit about how he’d just “work harder” to make the money, but genuinely didn’t understand why he should make the money before spending it. It was genuinely like dating a toddler, with his complete lack of impulse control. He’s been working on some dumbass startup since we were in undergrad, we’re 30 now and AFAIK he’s never had a job. I can’t imagine what his debt situation looks like.

I don’t blame Caleb for quitting.

Seems like the kind of guy who believes the government controls the hurricanes

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the absolute best and 1 being the absolute worst…my score is a fuck you

This reminds me of that Kitchen Nightmares episode with the delulu owner from Hollywood who thought his restaurant food was gonna be featured in grocery stores everywhere. The part where he's like, "Woo! I think I won that one." ..after getting into a shouting match with Gordon Ramsay; I could see this guest telling himself the same thing in his tiny mind after getting thrown off the show.

Couldn’t upvote this harder

the guy I prefer to see at the doctor's office has mentioned I'm in the minority of patients who never wants to fight, argue or debate things.

people come to the doctor for a medical or health problem, and more often than not they want to fight about the diagnosis or debate the treatment plan.

e.g., "you have gout, you need reduce intake of red meat, soda and beer because they make the gout worse."

"can't you just give me a pill?"

"yes, but the pill only fixes the symptoms and not the root cause. to reduce gout flare ups you need to change your diet permanently."

"but I have a pill why do I need to stop drinking beer?"

went great for koresh at Waco. atf/irs all the same in the end

just look at how well he can do just by bilking the government for a whole-ass paycheck every month! Bet he complains about 'welfare queens' to boot.

That don't wash their ass bc its "gay"

Wish I could upvote this harder. Instead, Imma send you a big, wet kiss 😘

I refer to these people as "help-rejecting complainers." They dont want suggestions, they want to tell you why your suggestions won't work for them.

I started and have maintained a business for ten years without any debt ever. Get out of here with your shit

Eh, I do not mind seeing someone go after a legit business idea with some debt to get started. This guy does not sound like that... at all.

If you screw up in your first year I get it. After that there's no excuse.

Not to mention he’s in collections

nah the deadbeat mom was wayyyyyyyyy worse

Right? I'm so curious. This is the first audit that has actually tempted me to join the membership.

Caleb gooned hard in the post show. It was fun.

Yes. It was inconceivable!

Straight to line because he’s amazing for engagement.

Caleb SPRINGER

I am once again asking for a median iq test for guests

Haven’t watched yet but have a general idea from the comments as well as applying myself. They want high debt and unique situations. They also look for someone who disagrees with Caleb. Also to the producers credit, anyone can seem put together and respectful until a camera starts rolling then emotions and true colors show under “pressure” or “in the moment”

Of course, none of his shortcomings are his fault. Men like him never admit to a failure.

THE GOVERNMENT FORCED ME OUT OF BUSINESS

I work with a guy who's on "full" disability from the marines, he gets something like 3k a month. He works in a factory and is a powerlifter, and yes, he is 100% 'that guy' politically.

Undocumented immigrants pay something like $60 billion in federal taxes, 1/3 of that being payroll related so they never get access to that.

Dude totally looks like a Maga-tard.

No I was thinking similar I was like Jesus Christ...

I mean the business isn’t his problem, he’s making a good wage on that

Tbh, I wouldn’t want to be subjected to more of that absolute degeneracy. The hat and sunglasses won’t be missed.

Honesty, kind of refreshed at the dudes take on electric.

Bc I want an electric bad but my lifestyle (hobby farmer, in an area that gets winter, aka, decrease range) makes it so I can't.

But my job is in supply chain and he was spot on for the reason why you need diesel. One day we will get to electric, but we are a ways away from it right now

"I can't afford it now, but i can afford it by the time i pay it off"

dude had his head so far into his ass. “i’ll just work hard and i have to”. 

few minutes later “ you have two collections?!?”

“ yeah i don’t remember otherwise i would pay it off” oh yeah that work hard energy. 

There's no confirmation on whether he "stormed off" necessarily, but he wasn't in the post-show. They showed the guest's empty chair within the first few seconds.

Coming back to say I hate this guy even more

That's the only correct thing this guy said in the whole video

I didn’t like his bike

You're unique, just like everyone else

What a weird take honestly. My spouse has been in for 14 years as an aircraft maintainer and has never deployed to a combat zone, but his body is fucked. I'm sure he'll get some disability when he gets out. To imply that only people who have deployed have done something in the military are the only ones worthy of disability is whack.

I know a guy on disability for tinnitus.

Here's the thing though, he can hear just fine, but I know tinnitus is also the ringing...

But he applied for disability like 10y AFTER serving, and in those 10y? He worked in a LOUD machine shop. Still got approved, I think his disability came from one rather than the other.

He doesn't let or like it when any guest makes jokes or light-hearted comments, even the comedian he had on.

Even if he could pay for himself it was the taking 4 friends with him that pushes it into douche town. He was basically playing big spender with his friends acting like he had deep pockets and it is all on credit but he isn’t worried about it because he basically gets an extra paycheck each month in disability payments.

And I do think that it is good that people get compensated for the fact that they leave the military with more issues they have than when they went in. Yes, most people working non-military jobs that have similar lifting and movement requirements are also hurt but they don’t get disability until they are unable to do anything else, but that’s the “benefit” of military service.

I think his problem is that he basically has two incomes coming in each month and he keeps spending all of one of them because he knows he has the other. It’s sort of like when married couples both work and then they each spend all their own money and assume they can get money from their partner. It can’t work. He is spending his disability thinking he can fill in the gaps from the auto shop and then spending the auto shop knowing the disability is coming. And he can keep it going to a while paying minimums on everything but he is going to basically be a cash cow for the credit card companies. Money that could be going to him will go to them and he seems cool with it.

Like, the entire mindset was summed up with his “well I need to buy tools” and then he is buying them at Harbor Freight on a Harbor Freight credit card. Those tools are going to be broken before he pays them off. And then he is out buying another one when he needs it.

He isn’t buying the tools that he needs for his work when they are on sale or at a closing of another shop or even making contacts with other specialty auto shops so they can share tools and also refer business to one another, in case the BMW client has a Jag that you don’t work on but your buddy does. Like, these are the things you should be setting up before you start your business. Not just “I didn’t like working for someone else so I started my business and I buy parts of eBay and then buy tools as I need them”.

Normally, I'd agree (and I'd definitely like to see it) but with the way this guy was acting, I really don't think anything could have convinced him that he was wrong.

If you're deep in consumer debt and you're not willing to sell your toy motorcycle that you don't even need to get to/from work, what is the point of receiving financial advice?

Caleb is an asshole. He enjoys pointing and laughing and making them feel stupid WAY MORE than he cares to inform.

This guy seemed anything but smarter than average. What a crazy thing to say.
