5:42
Once upon a time in a
5:44
magical land, doesn't the handsome prince
5:46
who was about to inherit the
5:49
throne of the vast kingdom of
5:51
Who pretend when he suddenly discovered
5:53
his financial situation wasn't exactly what
5:55
he thought. It was have you
5:57
mean there's no money left. I
6:00
was inheriting the thrown at a bunch of
6:02
money. Home. Yes, Mr. Prince
6:04
Marlowe as your Cp A, I
6:07
must inform you that your gold
6:09
room is there. There's. I
6:11
know nothing to inherit. Well.
6:13
This is a disappointment to be
6:16
show so give it to restrict
6:18
how much manager I am. Negative.
6:22
Eight hundred pieces of gold. I
6:24
have negative money. Like less than
6:26
zero money. How is that possible?
6:28
Well it turns out you owe
6:31
money all across this magical land.
6:33
You took out a loan for
6:35
magic beans that wasn't on wise
6:37
investment the most. Said you took
6:39
out a loan for that unicorn
6:42
drawn carriage, various swords. He really
6:44
like swords and looks like you
6:46
read up some medical did during
6:48
the plague. I also lost an
6:51
entire. Long them to have my
6:53
fingers. Bad play. Yeah, Bud played. but
6:55
you really are survived. Wow, Which is
6:57
what really matters yet. you have your
6:59
hills yet. Everything but your hospital bills
7:02
still need to be paid. Also, you're
7:04
way behind on the mortgage payments on
7:06
the castle. you'll have been. Or
7:10
proper smaller we toss your creditors. You
7:12
are very modern from our swords. And
7:14
may fall sick than the castle bathroom
7:16
and the wheel on your unicorn drawn
7:18
carriage way. I leave an interview pious.
7:20
The money you owe. Her own
7:23
ursus looking gone up. Your my accountant
7:25
Lenny what are my options here? We'll
7:27
seeing as how you are financially. Insolvent.
7:30
That means you can't pay. The money
7:32
you will. I believe you need to go on
7:34
a journey. A
7:37
journey to declare bankruptcy. Which.
7:42
Means enlisting the help of lawyers
7:44
to fight fearsome battles on land
7:46
and sea. than in court Traveling
7:48
through a buggy bureaucracy. That means,
7:50
like a missive. Laws and rules
7:53
and. Paperwork or that does sound
7:55
dangerous and perhaps boring. I'll have
7:57
to think about. I'm
8:00
gonna break it down with
8:02
a really sharp axis. Okay,
8:05
think on it. But don't
8:07
think too long. For now, let's eat out the
8:09
buck. At
8:15
night, the prince talked it over with
8:17
his wife, Princess Cecily, as they sat
8:19
at one of those long tables with
8:21
a ton of food eating big turkey
8:24
legs. Filing for bankruptcy,
8:26
I can't imagine anything more shameful. It
8:28
would bring embarrassment on the respectful name
8:31
of the kingdom of Purpertin. Oh,
8:34
then what should we do, my sweet? Well,
8:36
to be fair, we may have made some
8:39
financial decisions that didn't quite turn out the
8:41
way we'd hoped. Well,
8:43
it's mostly doctor bills from your
8:45
plague treatments. But yes, between that
8:47
and your swords and my jewels
8:50
and those magic beans, we're
8:52
out of money. You're a brave
8:54
knight, a wise and merciful ruler. Why
8:57
not show yourself some mercy and give
8:59
us a fresh financial start? We
9:02
have no future without some sort of
9:04
solution to our debt problems. Maybe
9:07
you're right, Cecily. You
9:09
know I'm right, my teddy bear. You've
9:12
no idea what I do without you
9:14
by my side. My love for
9:16
you burns brighter than a
9:18
blacksmith's flame, my dearest princess.
9:20
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's skip
9:22
over the mushy stuff, okay?
9:25
What's the matter? The guy's just being appreciative of his
9:27
wife. This is part of the story. Let's just
9:29
read it. Nah, nah, nah. You know
9:32
I don't like the mushy, kissy, lovey-dovey
9:34
type stuff. Let's move on. Okay, well,
9:36
you're sort of old to not want
9:38
to listen to the romance part of
9:40
any story, but whatever. We will
9:42
skip past it. Gazing
9:45
deep into his beloved's eyes, the prince
9:47
whispered, I suppose I have no
9:49
other choice. I'll set out on
9:51
my unicorn at dawn. Height

much as your debt as possible.
12:09
Even my pretty big sward
12:11
collection. but I've spent years
12:13
collecting each Bruce. We're.

12:30
it like taking a soloist, unlovable
12:33
objects and turning into slowing me.
12:36
Down. Liquidations You may
12:38
lose your castle and was
12:40
your phone's. I
12:43
gotta say, I don't love that. Oh
12:45
who am I with off my swabs
12:47
and which? Are a lot of
12:49
money to a lot of different people? Are you
12:51
sure that if I give up my swats at
12:53
my castle, I'm going to be able to pay
12:55
them all back to? I'd have you. Oh, a

13:01
indebted Seats would flee liquidates everything
13:03
you unless we take that p.
13:05
Me: He did he he he
13:08
did he did he think. It's
13:14
a case. Isn't quite sickening, says he
13:16
does. It
13:19
isn't going to be so that it
13:21
might not be as big as he
13:24
wanted and no one gets the whole
13:26
case and that a house and within
13:28
your benefits. It's almost a little disappointing
13:30
that no one will be paid in
13:32
full. Oh so say are owed
13:34
a hundred gold coins to the blade
13:36
smith and term gold coins to post
13:38
murder but only have half the money
13:40
to settle those deaths. In a
13:42
space he makes me so that forty
13:44
five of your coins, those your placements
13:46
and five point is that you're pushing
13:48
me to send. Everyone gets half of
13:50
what they're owed. He, even though you
13:53
owe the bleeds miss most, he can't
13:55
have it all. The point is to
13:57
get people back at least part of
13:59
with him. I'm going after all
14:01
that they leave me alone, right? Yes! That's
14:04
the wound your credit is going to
14:06
be cause for over ten years and
14:09
to the process of means to be
14:11
tougher for you to get a loan
14:13
to make really big purchases for the
14:15
next. Ten Years. From.
14:18
I doubt love the idea
14:20
of losing my stuff especially
14:22
my precious was but I'm
14:24
out of options and Spritzer
14:26
Sicily is depending on Mack

14:55
meeting, Was wrong Turns you
14:57
will. Successfully have the
14:59
data erased using the
15:01
Chapter seventeen. So.
15:04
The Prince enter the
15:07
labyrinth of bankruptcy paperwork,
15:09
a cruel and complicated
15:12
maze of filing deadline
15:14
and unexpected fees. Ah,
15:17
Spiderwebs every around. Oh
15:23
wait a minute. Can't really
15:26
be out as the file for bankruptcy
15:28

15:30
exaggerated fantasy story right? Actually,
15:32
This part is more real than
15:34
you might think filing for bankruptcy
15:36
can be really intimidating. But anyway.
15:38
okay so the prince quickly became
15:40

And he knew he couldn't go
22:15
back to the kinda in a
22:17
position without having to fill some

part of his quest. He decided
22:21
to advance forward through chapter twelve
22:23

22:25
wall concerning and dinner.
22:30
And suddenly. The entire story.

Came. To an abrupt stop. The
22:35
ends. Star
22:38
Trek just and there. There was no
22:40
resolution. Yeah, That is a disappointing when
22:43
and the story, but this book only

22:52
thirteen chapter. One. Chapter.
22:54
Thirteen Bankruptcy for people who
22:56
oh, and unimaginable amount of
22:58
money, but also who still
23:01
have some sort of income
23:03
coming in ak a the
23:05
repayment. And
23:09
the prince's if he couldn't sit still
23:11
has filed for bankruptcy here. They would
23:13
be nothing for him to do that.
23:15
Go back to the Kingdom of Pooper.
23:17
Ten and utter failure. Arms
23:20
are hacking through a haunted
23:22
sector. Thirteen Point of giant
23:25
spiders makes more house and
23:27
facts numbers the great of
23:29
Fog of Confusion. Stain
23:31
on hold one for two
23:33
hours. The
23:35
Prince his patients to the test.
23:38
The only thing they save him
23:40
comfort was remembering the face of
23:42
his beloved princess. Oh how he
23:44
long to see her beautiful face
23:47
once again, this time living free
23:49
from the burden of yes. And
23:51
no no no Bridget. Well I
23:53
say earlier a not for the
23:55
romantic more see to see star.
23:57
Why it's we. Can we just. Back
24:00
to the action and adventure please!
24:02
Okay, okay, having successfully conquered all
24:05
the challenges one faces in these
24:07
kinds of fantasy stories, the prince
24:10
finally reached the fortress atop the
24:12
pile of paperwork where Legend had
24:14
is the guardian night and chapter
24:17
Thirteen had been keeping watch for
24:19
century. Or
24:21
provision overpay for were.
24:24
Are ready to fire truck river.
24:28
Park who goes months his
24:30
art prints marlowe of a
24:32
kingdom of proper term. So.
24:36
You're planning on staying with that name.
24:39
This. reason
24:41
for us would do have for me
24:44
my some be warned my own is
24:46
a weary of to centuries of going
24:48
to thirteen bankruptcy room. Or.
24:50
Eyes filled out the forms as honestly
24:52
as possible or just at all my
24:54
assets including snare yearly income of drinking
24:56
and Texas from a good citizens of
24:59
my kingdoms I'm prepared to go back
25:01
that if I deemed truly broke in
25:03
very eyes bleed the how to and
25:05
night Let me take a look. You
25:08
do understand, chapter Thirteen is a
25:11
little different from the other kinds
25:13
of bankruptcy, right? Or in what
25:15
way, But. We're in chapter
25:17
thirteen. You'll be more likely to hold
25:20
on to some of your assets like
25:22
your castle at my Swartz. Possibly.
25:25
Think of this type of bankruptcy
25:27
unless as a liquidation was a
25:29
very aggressive repayment plan to help
25:31
you move forward or this all
25:33
sounds perfect balance. It will come
25:35
with a challenge and what everyone
25:37
passes easily. You'll be able to
25:39
hold on to more of your
25:41
things, but you won't be free
25:44
of debt anytime soon and you
25:46
will make rigorous monthly payments. I
25:48
could live with that as long
25:50
as I can relieve myself of
25:52
even some of my cousins mortgage
25:54
debt, my medical debt, my student.
25:56
Loan debt? Sorry, your student
25:58
loan probably doesn't. What
26:00
a minute I don't meddle with. that's
26:03
just how me these are. Very well
26:05
then I will be free of all
26:07
my get except for my student loan
26:09
debt for my degree in Royal Read
26:11
Beings. He doesn't mind his entire and
26:14
sinking ship. To say a team is
26:16
right for you, you just need to
26:18
battle the zone their inner courtyard. Wow.
26:20
such a Ballard that lays out you
26:23
plan for how you repay all your
26:25
credit. It's it's. It's
26:28
you that you've never. It's. The
26:34
printing specific chance to prove to the good
26:36
citizens of Cooper to eat and he could
26:38
make things right in the kinda. And
26:41
ten Vince to my you to content of
26:43
repairmen weekly for the next five years. Sea.
26:46
Battle that dragons. he thought about
26:48
August either and sounds as he
26:50
faces young lights and out even
26:52
if it Mcnally. A ferocious sigh
26:54
of relief size and she was
26:56
grateful for the chance. To learn
26:58
to his instead and success in.
27:04
Epilogue. The Prince and
27:07
softer thirteen month journey together to
27:09
poop or ten. In a
27:11
unicorn drawn carriage while the chapter
27:13
thirty nine explained to the prince.
27:16
wow thanks for see laws was
27:18
so important for individual and forcing
27:20
them. Well
27:23
what did we learn from
27:25
all this request of the
27:27
bankruptcy exists to help like
27:29
you print. Smart people who
27:31
sometimes too bad decision making
27:33
but are often through just
27:35
bad luck. Couldn't live up
27:37
to the financial promises they
27:39
play was a plane was
27:41
a famine arranged pirates. The
27:43
point is it could happen
27:45
to anyone at the ability
27:47
to declare bankruptcy. To have
27:49
your deck forgiven can help
27:51
you move on. To get
27:54
back to a stronger financial breaks for
27:56
individual for businesses which can be better
27:58
for everyone. Need
28:01
my pin enough to the point it had
28:03
kicked over the hill and a lush green
28:05
there are two for ten. At
28:08
first sight of the carriage prefer suffering with
28:10
enraptured she could see her beloved prince trying
28:12
closer and she ran to meet him in
28:14
the valley. Oh how I
28:17
miss to my prince our most. Recently
28:19
I made was dangerous and
28:21
frustrating journey for us but
28:23
I promise I'll never be
28:25
away from home again. So
28:27
kiss me Since motto of
28:30
great see kiss. Whoa!
28:33
whoa I said no more She
28:35
stopped. Gotta wonder hear about Kiss
28:37
and and Couples is off romance
28:40
more see John. Ryan,
28:42
What's your problem? You're a grown man you
28:44
can't seem to listen to like a combined
28:47
three sentences worth of romantic subplot in a
28:49
Fairytale for Kids. List: Jump to the
28:51
yeah, I want to know what happened
28:53
to the swords. Okay, did he get
28:55
the cheapest? Wards are not. Have
28:57
he fun! Making a final
28:59
appraisal of the Prince's riches, the
29:01
Guardian native chapter Thirteen nodded and
29:03
said with a grin. Are
29:06
we satisfied whole your creditors and
29:08
is not? Was you make your
29:10
payments on time to control them
29:12
to your songs. You.
29:15
Really? Meters? You have no idea how
29:17
much this means to me. That's
29:19
wonderful news. I have zero
29:22
dollars to my name and I'm walking. On Air.
29:24
I've never been so happy to be
29:26
flat. Broke. Not in
29:28
debt, just plain zero. When
29:31
I suppose I should be on my way. I
29:34
couldn't help but notice this package.
29:36
No causal bowl looks a little
29:39
loose. Your ride horses pusher Bacchus.
29:43
As the prince lists, the stone in
29:45
the was. A
29:48
secret compartment opened revealing a troll. a
29:50
treasure as far as the I could
29:52
see oceans of golden coins into was
29:54
the prince and princess had no idea
29:56
until this moment that says secrets in
29:58
have written even and. And
30:00
they stared upon it in. Ah
30:03
I guess this is Pam.
30:06
This. Is a little extra he
30:08
didn't sir my father forgot to
30:10
mention to me. I see you
30:12
do understand we may have to
30:14
update or appraisal of your assets.
30:18
Yes about that. Gym
30:21
we've maybe pretends that was never
30:23
saw these. These.
30:34
Welcome. Back to Million Bazillion in this episode.
30:36
We just finished reading an epic fantasy tail
30:38
and learned a lot about the different. Had
30:41
the bankruptcy out that's of budgeting to the
30:43
story it was. Great besides the most
30:45
see love parts but otherwise not
30:47
bad. And what have we learned from
30:49
this episode? Oh. Bankruptcy isn't
30:52
a get out of jail free card.
30:54
They can involve having assets like your
30:56
car or house or word collection taken
30:58
away. They can wreck your credit, making
31:00
it difficult to buy another car, house,
31:02
or sword collections. But for certain people
31:05
and businesses, bankruptcy can be a hard
31:07
but necessary choice Because they owe so
31:09
much money, they have no hope of
31:11
truly repaying it unless they get a
31:13
little help. It's a tool meant to
31:16
offer a financial fresh start. That's the
31:18
option of last resort that still comes
31:20
with a lot of consequences. Yeah.
31:22
Bankruptcy rules. Try to acknowledge that we
31:24
humans are flawed and mistakes happens, and
31:27
you should be able to come back
31:29
from those mistakes. Because whether it's in
31:31
the kingdom of Super Tense or here
31:33
in the real world, sometimes a little
31:35
forgiveness is necessary. Well.
31:38
I guess that's it. Look. We
31:40
made it through the whole episode, sitting here
31:43
reading a book in the library with nothing
31:45
crazy happening just like you also. Crossing
31:52
the library wall. Man I knew the
31:54
episode. and with a monster truck no matter how
31:57
hard I had tried to get us away from
31:59
it. Hey, sorry a grudge.
32:01
My monster truck into the library Guess
32:03
