Cobin admitted a long time ago that he'd basically maxed out his credit cards — and that was when he WAS working full-time. I'm pretty sure they maxed out their cards to take that Europe trip where he proposed. That's the only way financing that trip made any sense—Corbin had a low paying job (probably less than $25,000 a year) and Kelsey wasn't working at all.

I think they are just really bad with money. I mean, who moves to Portland for a better job and then quits a week later?? Well, Corbin did.

Yep, I think that if you have to consolidate your debt onto one card to get the interest rate under control, then you probably had a problem with credit cards. They likely let it snowball for a while before they started making payments. That would explain why their score was originally not ideal, they probably weren't making payments above the minimum. They acted like they were "throwing money away" every month by being renters in their skit, but it doesn't necessarily make sense to add a mortgage payment when you already have monthly credit card payments on old debt plus interest. Not to mention whatever debt they own on student loans.

Oops, that should say whatever they *owe on student loans.

If Kelsey and Corbin's hearts were really in Idaho, I don't think they would have left and stayed away for years, so it's difficult to imagine that they will truly enjoy it this time, even with a house and a kid. Maybe that's just me projecting, though.
I feel horrible for people who are stuck living in a town/city/state they don't want to be in because house prices are insane and even the rent on a crappy apartment is like 75% of an entry level salary in some cities. Which is extra crappy when you consider that people often have to live in big cities to get hired in their industry But Corbin and Kelsey literally did not try - Kelsey has never so much as looked for a job and Corbin had one that he quit immediately. All they want is to be hipsters living somewhere like SoCal or Portland where they'd just drive up rents through gentrification so in a way this is poetic justice.

Well, they seem to be moving to Boise, which has it's own trendy hipster areas now (North End) and a Trader Joe's (which only opened a few years ago). I doubt they'd ever consider moving back to their REAL hometown — which a rinky-dink, rural town about an hour from Boise.

Pocatello, Idaho. Opposite side of the state from Boise. (and WAY more Mormon over in SE Idaho, but the entire state is super conservative.)

The house they showed themselves looking at the other day is about 10 minutes from downtown Boise. Kind of silly to show the realty sign and the house number, but I'm reasonably certain they are not buying this one, as it currently has a sale pending as of almost two weeks ago. It was listed right around $200K. I really wonder if they'll find something that lives up to Corbin's standards at that price. It's a nice home, but it's carpet throughout and the kitchen looks original to the 1970s. They'll need to move quickly, there really aren't any other 3 bedroom single family homes in that area for $200K. The house they showed themselves looking at was on the market for one day! That's probably what motivated them to get the pre-approval letter. Corbin said there wasn't a lot of inventory, but I think the truth is that homes at that price move quickly and they're going to have to be prepared to move fast. Spring is a hot period for the housing market. Houses don't tend to sit around unsold for long, lots of people want to move over the summer when the weather is warm and kids are out of school.

UGGGGGH! So Corbin wants another baby, but it's pretty obvious Kelsey isn't even close to ready. Corbin is a selfish dick. If Kelsey isn't ready for two kids then SHE should wait. I feel like Corbin is pressuring her to "do it for the vlogs" and get pregnant. :(

I think Kelsey is more honest about things than Corbin. She even mentioned that buying a house this year might not happen. Corbin has an inflated ego and is a total asshole.

So, is Corbin's older brother a half-sibling?? He only refers to his younger brother as his brother.....

What a little bitch. They're approving all comments and only letting positivity through now. So explains why mine never get commented on anymore lol. Normally I have all the 10 yr olds telling me what awesome parents they are.

I think that will get old for them very fast. But seriously he's not letting through negativity or bullying. Such a tool!

I just watched the video about the comments on the vlogs... why was Kelsey even in this video? Did he even let her speak at all? She just nodded and acted like she wanted to chime in with something but he never let her talk. He's such a weird overbearing person.

Since they have announced going to India people have been commenting how stupid it is. Mentioning that children are raped there and telling them to stay away.

Yesterday there was a comment and it said along the lines of "if you come to India I will rape June and then your pretty wife."

Even I reported it. I can't stand this sack of shit but that is some fucked up mess saying you're going to rape a baby.

wow!! crazy. im guessing this is what they were talking about in todays video?

That was today's entire video? Four minutes of complaining about comments?? What are they doing all day? They've barely posted this week. Sunday was the "we're not going to India" 2 minute video and rest of the week has been click bait crap — when are we having a baby?? — and sitting at home doing nothing.

I find it ridiculous they are talking about prosecuting people who leave "bullying" comments. They certainly DO NOT HAVE THE $$$$$ to do that! Plus, YES, they DID sign up for this. Don't put your life online and you won't have to deal with terrible people in the comments.

Corbin is a fucking liar. He deletes any comment that isn't blowing fairy dust up his ass! I've posted a few slightly critical comments (nothing bullying or rude) and I'm completely blocked! I'm guessing this is a move to be more ad-friendly.

Also, wasn't the comment in question from a guy from India and on their FB page?? I really think they are overreacting about this. They really need to QUIT YT if they are going to be too sensitive to online bullying. I think the major YTers deal with MUCH worse and don't complain as much and never talk about prosecuting anyone!!!

Basically, Corbin SHUT THE EFFFFF UP and get a job!

If you are seriously considering legal action, you don't go blabbering about it in a YouTube video. You're consulting with an attorney and if they think there's a case to be made, they're advising you to not openly talk about it. Any time I've been involved in legal action, I've been asked to be pretty tight-lipped about it. Speaking about it openly in a YouTube video? Yeah, no. They're not pursuing anything.

Agreed and i thought the same thing. Sounds like to me Corbin just wants to scare people. Which I’m sure he has, especially the kids that watch them. I highly doubt they are pressing charges (even though the comment was way way out of line) and are only throwing out things about jail time to sound aggressive.
