Melissa: 我是一名42岁的护士,年收入84000美元,还有额外的奖金。我喜欢去赌场,认为赌博很有趣,即使我负债累累。我过去不了解投资,认为富人会储蓄,但我会储蓄然后去赌博,试图快速致富。我去赌场的频率取决于季节,夏季会有百万美元抽奖活动。我上次在赌场输了1000美元,但我认为这不算多。我认为赌博并非导致我负债的主要原因,我会偿还债务,但只是最低还款额。赌博很有趣,享受生活比财务安全更重要。在40多岁时仍有学生贷款并不丢人。我会为19岁的女儿庆祝生日,并帮助她装修公寓。2019年我的经济状况很好,但2020年我的几位亲属去世,我没有足够的保险,这导致我的经济状况恶化。我还进行了髋关节重建手术,这让我休假了一年半。我和丈夫分管财务,他每两周给我600美元。我有很多信用卡,而且经常进行余额转移,但并没有按时还清。我吸烟,每月花费200美元左右。我的家庭有许多吸毒成瘾者,这让我感到焦虑。我尝试过戒烟,但效果不佳。我有很多不同的支票账户和储蓄账户,这让我感到困惑。我从未认真查看过我的财务报表。我试图制定预算,但当我看到我的支票账户里没有钱时,我会感到恐慌。我有一些退休金,但还不够。我购买了一些加密货币,但并没有赚到钱。我有三辆车,其中一辆是我的女儿在用。我的中央空调坏了,我买了几个窗式空调来代替。 Caleb: Melissa是一位收入颇丰的护士,但她负债累累,这主要是因为她沉迷于赌博和不健康的消费习惯。她认为1000美元不算多,这正是她负债21.6万美元的原因之一。她应该优先偿还债务,而不是继续赌博。寻找更经济的娱乐方式,并为未来做好准备。她的学生贷款和赌博行为都是问题。她应该寻找更经济的娱乐方式,并优先偿还债务。她的财务状况混乱,她需要学习如何制定预算和管理财务。她应该与丈夫共同管理财务,以应对潜在的风险。她的丈夫每两周给她600美元,这是一种奇怪的财务关系。她应该认真查看她的财务报表,并学习如何管理信用卡。她应该戒烟,并寻找更健康的娱乐方式。她应该为未来做好准备,包括退休和紧急情况。她应该制定一个详细的预算,并坚持执行。她应该优先偿还高息债务。她应该学习如何投资理财。她应该寻求专业的财务建议。
