Further to what zhekson mentioned, there are normally at least 2 tx-out addresses, 1) the payment and 2) for the change (or remainder). Eg tx-in has 100ADA, you send 15 to payment1.addr and the change (85) to payment2.addr (which is one of you addresses)

I know I'm missing something super obvious but I'm on [this](https://developers.cardano.org/docs/stake-pool-course/handbook/create-simple-transaction/) part and I don't see where payment2.addr gets created so of course it says it doesn't exist. I'm trying to submit the transaction on the testnet.

In other words, payment2.addr is any address other than payment.addr
