“There’s Nothing Funny About This”

[Music] brought to you by the every dooll app start budgeting for free today I just graduated last October with my cosmetology license and you guys may know or like your wives like it takes a while for like a clientele to build up yeah so you're not like a guaranteed paycheck you know every two weeks once a month you're kind of just stepping out especially me as a Christian just stepping out in faith just knowing that I'm going to have clients this week that are going to pop up that I didn't know I have scheduled on Monday to know how to budget but not having a set paycheck for tithe groceries rent for the salon rent for my house because me and my sister are just going to move out this coming up Saturday into a house right down the road for my parents so learning just how to budget everything but also I don't know what I'm making you know one week to the next how long you been how long you been uh doing hair fulltime since March so I started renting the rent is 450 um I have a girl that rents the other spots I rent the whole building she gives me 300 a month so I just have to pay 150 out of pocket so I've been paying that since two months ago but I've been doing hair since early March so what have you been averaging since early March what have you been averaging income what's that look like um I wouldn't say that it would go over $600 from the salon that I make each month so I would say somewhere between like 450 550 some some months it can be closer to a 600 how are you surviving you made it since March that's well below poverty level it is well below so my rent like I told you the rent for that place is 150 so I've been living at home my car is paid for I don't have any payments that are going out so just moving out my rent each month is I know you guys are going to laugh my rent um is 375 for the house and 150 for the salon mama and daddy told me they said I know that you don't have enough for it but because of the house it was a good friend of my dad's my dad wants to eventually buy it so he said if you you know budget and you're smart with it he said me and mama got this wherever there's any lack but he said if you and sailor want to move out he said I think it would be a good idea he said if you guys would like to go ahead and go and we'll cover everything else you know as long as you guys aren out shopping and blowing it so you're saying mommy and daddy are going to pay your rent if you move out they'll pay $1 bucks no so I don't pay 1,200 I'm saying if you moved out no she's already told you they've moved into a house it's 375 that was a friend of their dad's and the rent's 375 for both you and your sister yes sir all right but still you're you're I mean sweetheart you've put lipstick on a pig I mean I'm telling you you're still absolutely you had no money even with that Rosy picture you just gave us yeah so I don't I mean I feel like it's the wrong I mean George I want you to answer a question but yeah you got to do something in the meantime because there's not much here to budget I can teach you how to budget with an irregular income but right now like Ken saying it's not enough to pay the bills and so we need to go get something more stable cuz right now let me tell you the math on this you are making $3 an hour yeah three count that three yeah there is no job in America paying $3 an hour you somehow found it and so you need to go get other jobs while you get clientele and if that means word of mouth and I get them on a schedule great but we're not going to sit around the salon for 7 hours a day hoping we get a single client yeah you would be better off go ahead sorry I do have a part-time job so I work at a grill that is right down the road so my salon were out in the country so I work at a grill that's on the other like little small town in between like my house and the Salan well how much money are you making off of that that's no more than 120 once a week again you are one shift at the grill bills Ken there's nothing funny about this and you are just broken up you are chuckling your head off on the other end of the phone and I don't know how to say sweetheart like this is awful you need to make more money you're not making any money at all are is anyone doing Salon work full-time in your area well the girl that rent it from me she just graduated too so she we're both quotequote fulltime but building clientele so yeah but you just told us you live in this you live in this little teeny tiny area out in the middle of sticks is that what I heard not in the middle of sticks but it definitely is not like like I'm about an hour and a half from Raleigh more towards the beach so it is a small town but it's not out in the stick but it is definitely I apologize I was a little loose with my description no you can say no you can say point is is that I think you need to be moving into Raleigh and get yourself a full-time job at a very successful Salon like you've got to make some moves because I just don't know how much clientele you can build in this little place that you're at am I right yes sir without yeah without well that's what we going to steal everybody else's and now we don't want to boy I tell you what I can't imagine that would go over well in a small town I'll tell you what my barber did Kennedy you work for a place that's booming you build up your clientele there and then eventually you can go out on your own and those people will follow you yes sir that's what I did when he KCK he started off on his own left his old place that was had kind of giving him leads if you will giving him the clientele and then he moved out and so that's what I think you need to do we need to stair step this into just going well hopefully I'll have you know 70 people on the books in a few months cuz it's been it's been a while it's been six months and we're still making a few hundred bucks a month yeah can you do anything else besides cutting hair like can you do nails like who's doing nails in that little town well there's nobody that does nails and people they've asked me they're like would you do that I know I could even though that's not like getek we got ourselves Kennedy I threw that out there as a Hail Mary and I yeah threw a touchdown pass start a nail salon this afternoon or do it in your living room for crying out loud little small town these women need their nails done we're talking hands and feet that's that's money yes sir you so if you can do it do it like my point is what you're hearing from Georgia I is I appreciate the budget question but in order to make a budget work we must have something to as income budget yeah I would start doing nails and and if I could if I could be the person in your little town that does Nails then I can grow the hair thing too uh but boy oh boy and this is a word of mouth business so maybe you do a referral bonus if they send women go in your town to get their nails done well where I'm at that's where they all comes because so the closest town would then be would then be maybe driving 20 25 minutes so I got some the lady who retired I got some of her clients but she had a couple girls in there before me but because they would all quit and leave then all her clients because she had a good amount of people probably you know she was booked up she told me she was booked up every day so I believe her well again your first reaction was priceless you said people have told me I need to do nails so I think we just found the next business for you and then you can EXP unless you move away yes sir right now you don't have the luxury of doing whatever we've got to find the thing that's going to pay the bills then we can expand I tell you what if I lived in that area i' i' i' I would invest in her I'd go what does it cost what what do we C what do we need what's the startup how much nail polish would we need to buy Kelly to get started I'd want to know and I'd go we're starting it today what do we need a couple chairs I'm going to buy the chairs I need a little tub with some water tub with water Manny patties I I don't know what my wife does I got to ask Stacy but I think I would go let's start it right now K goes more than Stacy I think we can all true story Stacy has talked me into a couple pedicures change your life I don't like it this is the ramsy show create your
