00:00I missed you, Dad.
00:01Why do you even need to make that much money?
00:03I used to make like $3,000 a month when Pa left.
00:06Yeah, and we ate chapati every day.
00:08I get it. You want your kids to have the life that you did not.
00:11Being alone is more painful than getting hurt.
00:13We gotta stick to this, yeah?
00:15No more than $800 per person.
00:17I think the hardest part is sleeping without equine.

01:10Oh, babe.
01:11Okay, okay.
01:12$200, right?
01:13That's not too bad.
01:14We can save a little bit less.
01:15It won't hurt us too much.
01:16It won't hurt us too much.
01:17We just gotta respect the budget
01:19and no buying nice things when we don't need them.
01:21Right!

07:50The ultra-cool chill frosty glacial blaster.
07:53Step into a world of bliss today.
08:14And most of these kids don't have a conducive place to do homework.
08:21They don't have tuition or parents to help them, so they come here.
08:25Yeah, shucks.
08:26It's so easy for teachers to just label them as lazy.
08:29Exactly.
08:30I'm really proud you're doing this.
08:32In that One Piece girl, I'm sure she'll come around.
08:34Nah, she doesn't want to talk to the weird teacher that likes anime.
08:38I have a new co-teacher too.

11:55very fancy on this one charlene yeah it does look fancy why wasn't this a conversation
12:00but i thought it would be a nice surprise even though the one thing i've asked you to do is to
12:05not spend so frivolously this isn't frivolous i haven't been sleeping because okay good night
12:12i'll see you all later did you actually think this was a good idea or was this just another
12:20impulse buy that you're trying to cover up with this treasure hunt that wasn't a treasure hunt and
12:23can i not trust you with money management i mean after everything the budget sheets the this and that
12:28am i not justified for feeling like you lied i got this on discount it's only 140 140 can buy
12:3828 chicken rices you know 140 can pay for grabs that you take every week 140 can pay for your
12:44insurance so yes it's not only 140 how about i work my ass off to find just one more shoot for this
12:50month then boom 140 covered it's not about the money you are overreacting i've been feeling damn
12:55hot okay i haven't been sleeping oh poor bungalow baby can't tahan the hot hot fan you are so cruel
13:03sometimes you said you would try you know you didn't even last a week i have been trying okay i i
13:09haven't bought a single coffee i've only taken grab once and that was because it was for work i had my
13:13equipment with me so i really had to so i have been trying actually i'm sorry i grew up sleeping with air
13:19corn like a sport brat i'm sorry i'm not used to sleeping with a fan sorry i bought this thinking
13:23that you could appreciate it too this is a present for both of us why wouldn't you talk to me about
13:28it because i know you would have said no and still you bought it anyway yeah because i wanted it okay i
13:32wanted it it was it was only 140 dollars which is what a week's worth of groceries a one hour shoot
13:38which is not hard to get okay then how about the the cap there and the cap back and the snack which
13:43you'll inevitably buy before the shoot and the snack after that's 140 to 200 just like that so it is about
13:48the money it's about many things i'm not here spending thousands cell i bought one thing on
13:54discount okay a little luxury that makes my life easier something we both can enjoy we can't afford
14:00luxury yes we can the budget sheet enough with your budget sheet cell your budget sheets have us saving
14:05like four thousand dollars a month yeah and why huh because it's a safety net it's for increase
14:12we are not poor cell we make below the average and average has been inflated by the one percent still
14:20and so our below average income is enough to sustain our lives right what we make is enough for us to
14:26save for our house and not have to live in this way in what way frugally irresponsibly fearfully like
14:32we don't deserve nice things it's not about what we deserve we don't need this but what is wrong with
14:37buying things that we want look i know you grew up not being able to spend on things that you want but
14:43you're allowed to spend money now your mom works so hard for you so that now you can buy the things
14:48that you want but we need to save sha we need to say how much do we need to save a month for the house
14:53let me check the sheet 1.6 right 2.4 you said 2.4 i did not agree we have money cell we are adulting
15:03you know back when we were living with alif i can understand your fears rent was intense but now
15:10that we are here we can afford to slack a bit right like aren't you mr logic man look at it logically
15:16math it out we can afford to spend 140 dollars on an air con
15:23i'm gonna go for a walk no no no you're not you're not running away from this conversation i can give you
15:28like 10 minutes to sort out your thoughts but we are not avoiding this conversation okay
15:38we're doing fine cell i'm allowed to buy nice things once in a while and so are you
15:44you

16:16will pass by and we each pick a strange color whoever's color was first would win and it's cute
16:27it was this one time my mom she she came to me and she said
16:31that you see those cars they're for people with money
16:42oh my gosh
16:45i'll never forget that oh yeah i'll never have a car and you know if cars aren't for people like me then
16:54neither are our holidays or fancy meals you know why
17:00it feels weird what feels weird babe i don't know but
17:08just spending money you can still follow your budget sheets

21:20You know, Charlene, I know that I could not give Silva everything last time.
21:24It was tough making ends meet.
21:26And I'm sure I can understand that would worry you.
21:29It doesn't worry me at all, Auntie.
21:31Your parents probably gave you the world.
21:33You did that for him too.
21:35He told you about the car story, right?
21:38It's a small house, dear.
21:41Yeah.
21:42You know, I only wanted them to have realistic expectations.
21:46You know.
21:47At the end of every month, Silva and his brothers will get to pick a treat.
21:52It's either Swenson's or a movie or an hour at the arcade.
21:56I could not afford all three.
21:59I'm sure you got all those treats all the time.
22:03And yet you are the one who opened your house to us.
22:06Not my parents, but you.
22:10Come.
22:11Let's put this.
22:17Oh my God.
22:18I'm so sorry.
22:19It's okay. Take it if you need.
22:20Okay.

22:33Oh my God, you're back.
22:35I got my hands full and you'll be free.
22:40Are you okay?
22:41Yes, Auntie. So sorry.
