During an episode of Caleb Hammer's Financial Audit on YouTube, a 41-year-old man named Brint Davy, from Austin, Texas, faced criticism after sharing that he is unemployed, has no savings, and relies on his parents to cover his rent.
The reason behind his financial struggles is his refusal to accept jobs that he believes are beneath him.
This revelation sparked backlash and condemnation from viewers, who expressed their disapproval of his unwillingness to take any available job to support himself.
Brint Davy further disclosed that he is burdened with thousands of dollars in debt due to multiple payday loans.
Despite his financial difficulties, he admitted to continuing to spend money on gambling activities and platforms such as Netflix and OnlyFans.
Brint Davy even conflicted with the host when Brint refused to eliminate unnecessary expenses from his spending and showed reluctance towards the idea of obtaining employment to address his debts.
When inquired about his occupation, he replies: "Too many things. I don't even know really. I'm just hustling every day basically because I have been blacklisted from most jobs.
"I have a criminal background. I told Governor Abbott on Twitter that I would eat his heart and that solicited a big reaction."
Brint claimed that after being taken into custody by six agents, he was placed for four days on terror hold in Travis County.
"It sounds way worse than it was because I'm not a cannibal for one - I don't eat hearts - and the state wanted to prosecute me.
"They were thinking about making it a felony for a while and they just dragged it all out for a year and it took a long time." he recounted.
Brint, who worked previously as a journalist, continues to face rejection in his job applications despite being highly qualified for the positions he applies for.
The fallout from the incident in 2018 still lingers over him, making it difficult for him to secure employment opportunities.
Brint shared that his criminal history has been revealed through background checks conducted by other potential employers. This disclosure has further increased his difficulties in finding employment.
"My savings are gone. I'm mostly dependent upon my parents. They pay my rent. I know it sucks but they're nice," he said.
Caleb questioned Brint about any feelings of embarrassment regarding his parents, who are of retirement age, covering his monthly rent of $1,500 since 2016.
Brint responded, "A little bit but I know that they're capable of it."
Despite his challenging financial situation, Brint asserted that he would not accept a job that he perceived as a "step down," explicitly mentioning working at a fast food chain.
Even though received suggestions from Caleb to explore employment opportunities with Lyft, Uber Eats, or Amazon, Brint dismissed the idea as a dead end and expressed a reluctance to waste time.
Brint, who previously earned a substantial income as the owner of an advertising agency, faced a series of unfortunate events that led to financial decline.
After being assaulted and losing his uninsured apartment in a fire, he gave up and depleted his savings of around $10,000 while struggling to survive.
Brint continued to spend money on lottery tickets, and additional discretionary expenses, including eBay purchases, coffee, cinema trips, Prime Video, Netflix, and OnlyFans for entertainment purposes.
