My cousin recently asked me for help. A life decision or what should I do question.
He is 28 years old. Lives with his parents still. He is in debt. Works part time for a big box retailer. He is massively obese. His expenses are $500 a month.
His boss gave him the opportunity to go full time. Right now he does side jobs. Mowing and pressure washing.
This is his debt:
So, I told him, to take the full time job. Pay the Credit Card debt off first. At the end of the year he would have roughly $1,600 saved up from going full time. He then would pay off the car. Leaving him the dentist bill.
I was met with a huge "No". I don't get it. Use the opportunity now with going full time to pay off the debt faster. He states that would be hard to find the time to workout and lose his weight.
It is clear to me what to do. He doesn't see the big picture.
Should I give up? LOL
