A couple earning a combined monthly income of $9,200 has found themselves on the brink of divorce—not due to infidelity or incompatibility, but because of an obsession with Labubu collectibles that’s spiraling their finances out of control.
The case, featured on financial content creator Caleb Hammer’s YouTube channel, highlights how even high earners can face relationship-threatening financial distress when spending habits go unchecked. The couple, together for nine years with a 2-year-old child, sought help after recognizing they needed to “fix our spending” and determine “how to best tackle our existing debt.”
