That's the "money shot" right there...
For Rebecka and Jourie:
First kid their senior year in high school and then not learning from that and actually doubling down and having another one...
$110 cell phone bill, when they could buy "pay as you go" disposable phones
$75 tattoo parlor bill...WTF? Guess their matching "Livin' la vida loca" tattoos were more important than their kids eating...
A car with a $360 a month lease payment at 18% interest...

People like this making a succession of shitty life choices and mismanaging their finances putting them in a persistent death spiral and cycle of poverty and dependence on the government to bail them out in perpetuity...
