Mississippi mailman reveals he stole $10 000 from his 4‑year‑old son’s savings account to pay for five trips, including Disney World and the Bahamas, on a YouTube finance show. The 28‑year‑old told hosts that he wiped the account, largely funded by relatives, and said the money “was worth it” because it created memories for his son.
When the host questioned whether Christian, the mailman, understood he was stealing from a child, Christian brushed off the criticism. “My son is three, four now — he won’t know,” he said. Helically, he added that he was a “0% loan,” as if his son’s savings were a benefit rather than a gift.
Christian admitted the withdrawals were made without his wife’s knowledge. The 27‑year‑old wife recently joined the U.S. Army to help the couple pay off about $90 000 of debt, but she does not approve of his spending. “She doesn’t trust me with money,” Christian said, adding that she is not looking into other relationships.
The host, Caleb Hammer, called the move “disgusting” and “selfish,” noting the money could have grown to more than $40 000 by the time the boy reached 18 if left invested. Hammer pointed out Christian’s history of borrowing from retirement savings, taking personal loans, and carrying over 25 % interest on a credit‑card balance. His wife, by comparison, has no debt.
Christian earns about $27 an hour as a mailman. He admits he spends hundreds of dollars each month on fast‑food and travel, saying it’s his stress relief. “Instead of a cigarette, I get a McDouble,” Christian joked. He believes he wants to “do better” and hopes to rebuild his son’s savings one day, though he has not shared a plan.
The episode ended with Hammer urging Christian to stop stealing from his child, note the two‑out‑of‑ten financial score, and fix his reckless habits. A watcher on the video suggested the wife might be planning an exit, keeping finances separate as she gets stationed elsewhere.
The story highlights the growing crisis of family debt, misusing child savings, and the importance of transparent budgeting, especially for young parents in the United States.
