Being late on mortgage payments with a strong income is a dangerous financial position.
"If we're getting late on our mortgage, that is just suggesting that you are putting yourself in a dramatically dangerous position, especially with such a strong income. Like you shouldn't even be in a world where something is ever late."
Mortgage Payment
Correct
Consider selling the current car to downsize to a cheaper vehicle and reduce debt, despite potential initial concerns about the car's quality.
"one thing I would consider doing is selling this private sale, getting $10,000 car, and getting a $10,000 loan on that. Getting that car. Don't trust me. I know the first thing you're going to say is, "Oh, it's going to be a beater.""

By age 30, an individual should have at least one times their annual income saved for retirement.
"We'd want you to be around probably 112,000 right now. Yeah. Cuz by 30, you should be a minimum one times your retirement."
Retirement Savings

Build a 1-2 month emergency fund, then aggressively pay off debt using a snowball method (smallest balance to largest) over approximately four years, prioritizing raises for accelerated payoff.
"I'd get a 1 to two month emergency fund before that. Maybe two months because you have a mortgage and a lot of your stuff sounds commission based. So maybe a two-month emergency fund. Then we start tackling the debt. Pay it off in about four years by funneling your raises to it. Pay off your smallest debt to your largest debt. Smallest balance to largest balance."
Debt Payoff Strategy

Traditional retirement savings may not be sufficient to maintain current lifestyle standards in retirement.
"Those traditionals usually don't even give you enough if you want to maintain your lifestyle in retirement."
Retirement Lifestyle Maintenance
Correct
When increasing spending on 'fun', reduce spending on needs or cut down overall lifestyle expenses rather than drawing from retirement savings.
"If you want more percentage-wise to go to fun, you do not take it from your retirement. You take it from your needs. You cut down your life if you want to have more fun. But you never cut down retirement cuz you need to be able to retire."
Fun Spending Allocation
Correct
Despite having no collections or IRS issues, the tendency to be late on all payments results in a very low financial score for debt management.
"Debt, at least you don't have collections, but you're late on everything. Give you a one out of 10 to be generous cuz there's no collections or IRS there."

"Retirement, emergency fund, nothing. Zero out of 10."
Financial Score - Retirement/Emergency Fund
Correct
Real estate is rated a 4 out of 10, with potential for improvement once other debts are paid off, despite the current affordability and good interest rate.
"It's at a payment you can afford. That helps, but I'm going to negate some points for the weirdness that you have. Four out of 10. That'll go up once you pay off those other debts pretty easily. That'll boost your score."
Financial Score - Real Estate
Pending
The overall financial score is a 2 out of 10.
"It's going to be a Hammer financial score of rounds it up just barely to a two out of 10."
