Practical Guide to Money Part 1

Practical Guide to Money Part 1

Episode 2.3


The Bible has a lot to say about money—and so have we. But how do we take timeless truths and turn them into daily habits? In this episode, Michael and Zach move from principle to practice as we explore eight key areas of faithful financial stewardship. From recognizing God’s ownership to making wise investments, we offer practical, Scripture-rooted advice for managing your money to the glory of God.


We discuss how to plan generosity, live within your means, save with purpose, and think biblically about budgeting, debt, and even where you choose to live. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula, but these principles can help guide wise, gospel-centered decisions in your everyday financial life.

00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Talking about finances, I I
think I'm hope I'm, I hope I'm

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,320
not alone.
I don't think I'm alone, but

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:08,920
place that can get your
finances.

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Chick-fil-A, Chick-fil-A out out
to eat.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,040
And it got me thinking, but so
Chick-fil-A, I feel like

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,400
everyone loves Chick-fil-A.
It's hard to come across someone

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,040
who like, hates Chick-fil-A.
Yeah.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,680
There, there are people out
there.

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,480
There are people out there.
Yeah, yeah.

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,560
And usually it's yeah, you maybe
it's not necessarily always the

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,800
chicken is not good, right?
Yeah, well, my mother-in-law, so

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Chick-fil-A, we used to
Chick-fil-A used to be like a

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,400
big deal.
Yeah, 'cause that we only had

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,280
them at the Northwoods Mall,
not.

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,480
Northwoods.
Oh yeah, in like malls.

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,720
McCain Mall in North Little
Rock.

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,040
And so we would go and they used
to have chicken on the stick,

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,080
like almost like chicken finger,
like a little thing.

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,520
And that's what she liked.
And she doesn't really like the

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,320
sandwiches.
So she's not a huge Chick-fil-A

21
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,400
fan.
How dare she.

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,120
How dare she.
Yeah, same thing.

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840
When I was little, it was like
my grandparents had one in like

24
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
their mall, but we didn't have
one like right around the

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,520
corner.
And then all of a sudden they're

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,120
everywhere and take it over.
Well, I say this because my

27
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,800
brother has just moved back to
the United States, so I've

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,480
improved for a couple years,
really missed Chick-fil-A.

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,840
Missed Chick-fil-A so much?
Jameson.

30
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
How about you, Jameson?
Yeah, Jameson, I'm sure, I'm

31
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,560
sure.
Pay attention when he would

32
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,600
visit the States.
Someone was getting engaged at

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,120
the Chick-fil-A.
That's a very good guess.

34
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,880
Sorry.
OK, He's known for interrupting

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,240
engagement.
It's kind of his thing.

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,400
But he would, when he would
visit the States, he would order

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,240
a couple Chick-fil-A, like
chicken biscuits, couple number

38
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:48,800
one meals, whatever, put it in
his like luggage, fly to Peru.

39
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,760
It's like it it the way because
you get to Lima's easy, then

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,000
it's a little bit harder to get
to Arequipa where he's at.

41
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,160
It's like a day and a half of
travel and he's like bringing it

42
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,560
home to like family and friends
and stuff.

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,440
And they're like, this is great.
I'm like, I like Chick-fil-A,

44
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,720
but there's like a shelf life
where I'm like, no, I'm not.

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,520
No, after a day or two, I'm not
gonna eat.

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,600
It it's so crazy.
So as you know.

47
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,080
OK, Yeah.
Tonight, tonight, I'm on tap.

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,600
Oh, to.
Cook Hibachi for the family and

49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,560
we got that flat stone or
whatever it's called.

50
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240
What is it?
Black Blackstone Flat grill

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040
that's.
What, you know you've made it in

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,040
life when you're like, I don't
even know what this fancy grill

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,160
is.
Well, it was given to me.

54
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,280
I'm just kidding, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

55
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,960
Just for clear in our financial,
in our financial podcast, it was

56
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,440
given to me.
But you know, you may or may not

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,320
know that for hibachi rice, you
need to cook it and then like

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,520
let it rest for 24 hours.
So in, in a refrigerator 'cause

59
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
it changes the starch and makes
it stickier and stuff.

60
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,240
So you're talking about shelf
life.

61
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,160
Yesterday in the morning, Jill
had made it and it was like hot

62
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,680
in the, in the pot.
I was like, I just, you know,

63
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,280
like put it on a cookie sheet,
let it cool off.

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,680
I'll put it in the refrigerator.
OK, Yeah.

65
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Yeah, makes sense.
Oh yeah, checks.

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Seems like everything's gonna go
great.

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,440
Well, I am driving home from
work and I'm like, I left the

68
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,080
house without putting it in the
refrigerator.

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,240
So it set out for 5 1/2 hours
and I went to, you know, I, I

70
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,600
think some people are still like
anti chat.

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,960
But to me it's just like Google
Now.

72
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,280
I just like say, hey, you know,
this is what happened.

73
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
How long can rice stay out?
I'm going to cook it again.

74
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200
It's going to get hot.
And it was like, well, this

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,240
particular bacteria rapidly can
spread through rice when it's at

76
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,000
room temperature and it can
withstand heat.

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,200
So cooking again wouldn't
necessarily.

78
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,360
So we I mean, rice is not that
terribly expensive.

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,600
It's just the.
Yeah.

80
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Not for you, Mr. Moneybags, No.
So we, we, we call it, we have

81
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
this, we have like a raccoon and
stuff in our backyard.

82
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,160
We call it unbelievable.
So we, we just, we were like,

83
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,280
OK, we're going to give it to
the boots.

84
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,080
We just threw that rice out.
People in raccoons.

85
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,360
The Hawks too, man.
Just feeding this raccoon, you

86
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,320
know?
Yeah, so.

87
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,480
I love it.
Well, all that to say, yeah, I

88
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,320
was thinking, I don't know if
there is a, there's not a fast

89
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,080
food that I would just
unrefrigerated a couple days and

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,399
be like, this is great.
I don't know.

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360
But it's like he would take it
home and like give it to like

92
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,839
hear my friends all they love
Chick-fil-A.

93
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,480
And it's like you haven't even
had you've had like the two day

94
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120
old chicken biscuit at just
like, man, it's where I draw the

95
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,160
line.
Have you seen folks that have

96
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,040
they'll they'll unwrap this
McDonald's burger and so they

97
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,080
get it without, they get it
without the wet sauces.

98
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,080
So they'll get the cheese, the
burger and the bun.

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,760
No sauce, it's like 10 years
old.

100
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,160
Oh, I've seen this, Yeah.
And it's like so.

101
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,440
Gross.
No mold, no nothing.

102
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,480
It's just kind of desiccated a
little bit.

103
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,080
Man.
Flaky.

104
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,320
And they're like, is this what
you want to be put in your body?

105
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960
Like this is pumped with
preservatives and whatever.

106
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,640
I saw a video, oh boy, on this.
And this guy in Russia, of

107
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,400
course, has this bear and he's
trying to feed it a McDonald's

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,080
burger and the bear would not
eat it.

109
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400
It was like and he even like
took the buns away and just

110
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,640
tried to put the padding in his
mouth and the bear wanted

111
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,440
nothing.
Man, this is not a test where

112
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,080
you've had a burger for 10 years
from McDonald's, but go through

113
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,160
some car seats, you see the
fries, You're like, I don't know

114
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,640
how long this, this food has
been here.

115
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,960
This this is not good.
Or like you see, like the dried

116
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,360
chocolate milk.
That's drift.

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,920
Through car seat cleaning car
seat's honestly one of my

118
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,760
biggest fears.
It is, it is just always

119
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,880
terrible.
You find stuff.

120
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,720
So anyway, spend money on
Chick-fil-A, spend money on fast

121
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,080
food.
We might talk about some of that

122
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,560
stuff 'cause that that is a good
practical way.

123
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,720
Easier said than done, and maybe
it's hard if you're busy, but we

124
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,280
want to talk finances.
We're talking a lot of finances

125
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:54,720
over the next several weeks,
really.

126
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, like we said, season 2.

127
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Season 2.
New background.

128
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,800
New backgrounds.
Yeah, what?

129
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,520
What do you merch?
Yeah, new merch.

130
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Just yeah yeah, merch got
delivered is what I heard.

131
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,240
Merch has gotten delivered
today.

132
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,720
Someone got their first shirt,
got a picture of it.

133
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,720
So that's great.
It is drop shipped.

134
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,200
I'll just say so you know, we're
not making, we're, we're making,

135
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:20,080
we're making a few dollars off
of each.

136
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,360
So it's a little bit more
expensive than if we were to buy

137
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
it in bulk and have that risk.
But you know it's.

138
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,720
Ready whenever, whenever you
need it.

139
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,720
So we'll go ahead and jump into
it.

140
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:38,480
So let's take it to the next
level from the hearts of the Low

141
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,800
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where

142
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
we take theology to the next
level.

143
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,160
What I like about this pod,
Michael, is that we're gonna get

144
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,000
a little practical, not saying
that like we all, we have all

145
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880
the answers.
It's not, it's really not A1

146
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,720
size fits all.
And I think that's what some of

147
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,200
the value of practical stuff is.
We probably can at least say

148
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,040
what is not what.
Don't do this.

149
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,560
Whether we've done it ourselves
or we know this, this is not a

150
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,480
good formula whether we have the
exact best answer for everyone.

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Yeah, yeah.
And it's hard to say.

152
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,680
It's not a good, good formula.
Do you?

153
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,040
I just watched this little
documentary.

154
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Oh boy, there's this guy who was
trying to get investor loans for

155
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,920
his business and they wouldn't
give him the loans, blah blah

156
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,920
blah blah blah.
And he was like, I have $5000,

157
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,440
it's not enough to make payroll
and so I'm going broke

158
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,800
regardless.
My only hope is go gamble it.

159
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,800
He goes to Vegas, starts
gambling that $5000 at

160
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,680
blackjack, comes home with
$30,000, makes payroll, and in

161
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
that month he secures investor
loans.

162
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,560
That company day is known as
FedEx.

163
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,440
Wow, from Memphis.
Memphis shout out.

164
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow, honestly.

165
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,160
But that's yeah.
But we're not saying that was a

166
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:01,920
wise.
I'll be right back.

167
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,640
Got a got a place a couple
couple bets real quick.

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Yeah.
So maybe there maybe it's also a

169
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
spectrum on, you know, wisdom.
Like what would wisdom say?

170
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Not saying that everything is a
outright sin or terrible, but

171
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,400
it's maybe it's not wise and
different situations call for

172
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,640
different actions.
And we're, you know, in this

173
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,840
finance series, we're going to
talk a lot about scripture.

174
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,240
We've got some good things lined
up, talking about Michael

175
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,200
looking at the Old Testament,
New Testament, these really,

176
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
really good questions.
And I think, you know, it's a

177
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Proverbs earlier and some of
these couple of a podcast

178
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,559
episodes maybe get into some
more practical matters as we try

179
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,960
to like piece all this together.
No, that's good.

180
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,560
So first one on our list.
I think it's foundational to to

181
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,480
everything that we're doing.
It's foundational, foundational

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,360
to worry and fear and anxiety.
It's foundational to pride and

183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320
being puffed up.
So whether, where, wherever

184
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,040
you're at on the spectrum of
finances, God is the ultimate

185
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,000
owner and supplier of all our
needs.

186
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,200
That's really good and reminding
yourself to look, God owns it

187
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,840
all.
He owns, you know, cattle on

188
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560
1000 hills that that Psalm and
he owns everything anyway.

189
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Jill makes fun of me for saying
that.

190
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,040
So Jill does, yeah.
Yeah, So yeah, Jill, Hey Jill,

191
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
if you want to cause trouble,
come here and start something,

192
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,000
OK?
I don't want to hear you talk

193
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,080
about my Co host like that, but
it's, you know, when you that,

194
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,680
that just take a lot of pressure
off of you.

195
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:36,400
If you say, Hey, I'm going to
steward things in accordance to

196
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,960
God, because finances are
stressful.

197
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,920
There's ebbs and flows,
different seasons.

198
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,360
It's a lot of responsibility And
you know, looking at it that

199
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,440
way, then I'm going to steward.
I feel like that's, that's like

200
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,720
the good Christian word.
Steward steward finance as well.

201
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,680
That that's what we're called
called to do.

202
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,880
And I, I like, I like that a lot
where takes a lot of pressure

203
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,680
off on one hand, but it also I
think gives you a lot of freedom

204
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,600
to what's that mean?
Like what's that look like?

205
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Yeah, because what one person,
what one Christian does with

206
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,640
their finances may be different.
And you know, what your risk

207
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,760
tolerance is, is going to be
different.

208
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,880
I remember I was talking to
someone and I wasn't necessarily

209
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,160
happy with my performance in
Bitcoin.

210
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,240
And they're asking, well, how
much you have in there?

211
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,560
I was like 50 bucks so like.
Yeah, yeah.

212
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600
I'm like, I'm, you know, I'm, I
guess I'm not very risk tolerant

213
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,200
when it comes to that kind of
thing, but.

214
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Yeah, it's one of those things.
Yeah, exactly.

215
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,160
And if you're not, we might talk
about this later on.

216
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,600
It's like I've done the thing
where it's like you getting

217
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,840
Bitcoin and you're like, oh,
it's going terrible and you sell

218
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,960
it, then it goes up or I don't
know, it's like you got to just

219
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,840
like, you know, oh.
It's high again, let me buy it.

220
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,440
Oh no, it's terrible.
Again, let me sell.

221
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,400
It yeah, you're just like losing
money because you're, you're

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,320
like too much invested
emotionally.

223
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,280
And by that same token, like you
and I are in a different spot

224
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,160
than if you're like a single
person with, with no children or

225
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,800
if you're living in China or
Russia.

226
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Different countries, different
economics.

227
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:09,280
There's a whole bunch of, you
know, different things that go

228
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,240
into the calculus of how you
should spend your money.

229
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,080
Might be not OK for you to spend
it that way and OK for someone

230
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,800
else to spend it that that way.
Yeah, there is a guy that I

231
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,640
worked with and I don't know if
they chose not to have kids or

232
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,520
if they just, you know, had some
fertility issues.

233
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:27,520
I don't know, but they didn't
end up not having any kids and I

234
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,200
know she had some health issues,
but he's telling me that they're

235
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,400
retiring.
And he, he kept saying, you

236
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,000
know, got 4.3 million in the
bank, 4.3 million in the bank

237
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,440
and he was like ready to go
spend that.

238
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,040
And then, you know, I'm, I'm,
you know, I got five daughters,

239
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,720
5, you know, potentially 5
weddings at private school at

240
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,360
the weddings that's.
Great planning for the future.

241
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,560
We'll have to hit hit on that.
Are you familiar with this term

242
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:56,400
Dink?
So this is a thing like it's an

243
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,400
acronym for dual income, no
kids.

244
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,200
And it's like, like people set
out to be DINKS.

245
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,560
It's they could work on, they
could work on the name.

246
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,040
Let's be honest, look at a
different acronym, DINK.

247
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,800
It's not.
But they're like O2 incomes with

248
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,800
no kids.
We've got our whole life

249
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,760
planned.
And a lot of times it's

250
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,800
associated with, you know,
retiring early, financial

251
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,760
independence, this kind of
thing.

252
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,720
But their whole goal, which I
don't agree with this.

253
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,920
We're purposely gonna get
married and not have kids.

254
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,120
And to me it kind of seems a
little selfish if that's like

255
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,680
your intent, but.
Those people don't need to.

256
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,640
They have kids.
That's true, that's true, that's

257
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,240
true.
And so their their whole thing

258
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,480
is we both have 6 figure jobs
and it's like this, you know,

259
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,880
but it's it's if you look up,
you can find a lot on there.

260
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,560
You're like, wow, that's like
insane where they are taking

261
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,120
ownership of their finances, but
they're looking at it through a

262
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,840
different lens than viewing God,
you know what I mean?

263
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120
Right.
And that, you know, I, I, I

264
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:53,400
don't know if we're going to
talk about Ramses, Dave, really

265
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,560
good practical advice, but money
is not the end all be all like

266
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,040
you can be a good Christian and
have a little credit card debt,

267
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,360
you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

268
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,240
Not saying it's best financial
but maybe.

269
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,480
You heard it here first.
Max out those credit cards.

270
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,200
I'm just kidding.
No, we're not saying that.

271
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000
We're not saying that.
But I I'm saying there's more to

272
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,640
life than just your IRA and your
4O1K.

273
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,040
Yeah, that, that, that.
That's a good point, having that

274
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,800
balance where money's important,
but it's one part of the

275
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,840
overarching equation.
I like on here view yourself as

276
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,720
a manager for God.
You know, you're managing

277
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,880
resources and as a manager,
sometimes, sometimes you have

278
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,280
to, you know, push hard in One
Direction or the other,

279
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,240
sometimes take a little more
risks.

280
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,760
Sometimes like, hey, we can't
take risks.

281
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,920
Sometimes, you know, maybe it's
not ideal to like not see your

282
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,160
family for a week, but you're
like, I got to provide for my

283
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,600
you make these decisions that
aren't totally black and white,

284
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,000
but it's like, you know, you are
managing and stewarding and

285
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,800
you're, you're living in, you
know, different situations with

286
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,680
different, different actions.
That's good #2 yeah.

287
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480
I like I like this one.
One I could probably do better

288
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,120
at is Practicing Generosity.
I think that's great and I think

289
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,440
that I think what a lot of
people think is, well, when I

290
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,240
get to X amount, I can really
practice generosity.

291
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,120
I've got that a lot.
I mean like, you know.

292
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,560
Yeah.
Or when I get up here and I

293
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,800
think like as you get higher,
obviously your generosity should

294
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520
go up.
But even if you have a little

295
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760
bit, you can still give a little
bit.

296
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,440
And what I would recommend is
find an organization like

297
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,040
Compassion International or
other local organizations that

298
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,320
are taking care of people, not
America.

299
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,440
There are people in America that
have financial distress.

300
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,200
But the people like you take the
poor person in America and

301
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,240
compare their lifestyle to a
rich person in some other

302
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,080
places, and it's still like that
poor person is doing a doing a

303
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,200
lot better.
You know, everyone's in a

304
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
different situation, but I've
definitely no, no judgement,

305
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,400
even though this is going to
stop, don't you?

306
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,360
When someone says, hey, no
judgement, usually it means

307
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,600
we're about to make a judge
mental statement.

308
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,720
That's what I'm doing.
Here, no disrespect but you are

309
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,880
the worst person I know.
Exactly right.

310
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,320
And everyone's different.
I don't know everyone's

311
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360
finances.
Physical therapist, I've been

312
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,040
in, you know, some people's
homes who I don't know their

313
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,320
situation.
I'm sure there's good reasons.

314
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,880
You know, they're on Medicaid
and you know, welfare and I'm

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,160
like, man, I wish I could afford
afford this cable package they

316
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,040
have or you know what I'm
saying?

317
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,800
You're like their whole their
whole financial picture isn't

318
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,440
great, but there's certain
subsets.

319
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,320
You're like, wow, you really
wouldn't all out on those

320
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,040
speakers, huh, bro?
Like, you know what I mean?

321
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,200
It's kind of funny, but
everyone's kind of different And

322
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,520
and I would probably agree with
you that for most people in the

323
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,840
United States, like not that
you're going to be a

324
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,760
bajillionaire, but maybe it
requires you to move to a

325
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,760
different city.
Maybe that's a really hard thing

326
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,920
to do, but you you can do, you
can change your circumstances

327
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,920
and you can probably do OK, even
if it's not comfortable.

328
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,800
It might be like, Hey, the it's
very expensive by the coast.

329
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,280
It's like, hey, move middle of
the country.

330
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Maybe you don't want to stay
there forever.

331
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,400
But anyway, so so bucks that I
think I agree with you that some

332
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,400
people they don't have that
ability.

333
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,160
And furthermore, to one of your
points, you know, in therapy, I

334
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,640
think this is true for like
everything, but you know, the

335
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,560
most likely indicator of you
having future back pain is a

336
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560
history of back pain.
And it's like that with

337
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,560
anything.
If you sprain your ankle,

338
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
pregnant, sprain your ankle and
get again, if you've never had

339
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,280
any back problems, you're more
likely not to.

340
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,760
If you don't practice generosity
when you have a little, you

341
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,440
might not really be as
interested as you think you

342
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,680
might be when you have a lot.
Yeah.

343
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,840
No, that, that is good.
Yeah.

344
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,600
So there's a classic story in
the Bible.

345
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,360
Someone practicing generosity
giving the widow's mite.

346
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,120
Yeah, that is, that is good.
She gave her last.

347
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,480
And so now there's also another
story there that they had this

348
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,720
donation box out much longer
than what they should have.

349
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,320
So, but yeah, she still had, she
still gave with a, with a, with

350
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,680
a good heart, you know?
Man, and we've all, you know,

351
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,680
2nd Corinthians 9.
It's like one of those passages

352
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,520
that everyone, everyone hears a
lot that God loves a cheerful

353
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,440
giver.
It's like, and we've all

354
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,160
probably been there too.
Sometimes I've given generously

355
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,359
sometimes.
And it's like, not cheerfully.

356
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,200
It's like, you know, it's good
to have, have those things

357
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,200
together.
You know what I mean?

358
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,960
And it is, it is, it is great
when, when you can give and it's

359
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,079
just being able to trust God,
having that sacrificial giving.

360
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:26,400
And, and so a real practical way
is you, you probably should give

361
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,280
to your local church.
We'll probably talk about giving

362
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,360
a lot more in a upcoming
episode.

363
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,560
What's a good place to give?
You know, we're sitting here and

364
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,760
I know this isn't banned for
time, but half baked idea, we

365
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,720
should require it that as the
offering plate goes by and you

366
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,160
put something in or when you go
back to our on our electronic

367
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,760
giving, once that's complete,
you start laughing.

368
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,000
You just go ha ha ha.
You know, like, 'cause it's a,

369
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,200
it's a cheerful giver.
That's a great idea.

370
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Like, we'll have like, you know,
like a light switch you turn on.

371
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,160
It's like a sign that says like,
laugh, like, and it gets the

372
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,520
crowd to laugh.
Like there's TV.

373
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040
She gets to come.
You can't laugh, then we

374
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,240
probably probably wouldn't want
to say that.

375
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,280
Yeah, If you can't laugh, don't
give it.

376
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:08,480
Well, you can go ahead and.
Give it.

377
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,720
Let's give anyway, but that's
great and it's easy to I like

378
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,480
this other note on here.
I think this is a broader

379
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,400
principle for church culture and
being a church member is don't

380
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320
just don't just consume like
it's good to live your life

381
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,640
giving, whether it is financial
or in any other way.

382
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,920
It's like out of every
interaction.

383
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,880
You just don't want to be a
taker all the time.

384
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,600
That probably wears on people,
but if you can just give, I

385
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,360
think that that changes your
whole outlook and you know

386
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,840
you're probably going to be a
happy person.

387
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,880
Yeah, I'll say one more thing
about people in America who are

388
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,440
in tough spots.
Sometimes the dollar bill is the

389
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,880
easy thing to do, give them, but
it's not what they need and the

390
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,800
sacrifice that, you know, they
may need and obviously within

391
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,920
bounds of safety and reason and
and we live busy lives.

392
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,800
But sometimes, you know, I, I
have, there's one place where we

393
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,480
stopped for gas between Arkansas
and here and the guy was asking

394
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,320
me for money and I was like, I
won't, I won't give you money.

395
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,560
But he's like, well, I'm hungry.
I'm like, here's a Waffle House.

396
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,160
I'll I'll go in and I'll pay for
your meal, but I'm not going to

397
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,440
give you any money.
And so I just, you know, I said

398
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,760
let him order and I'll pay for
it.

399
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,160
And they're like, he's here all
the time, So you don't have to

400
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,120
do this.
I'm like, that's fine.

401
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,200
I don't mind.
Yeah, I don't mind.

402
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,320
Yeah, but so there.
But that took longer from for

403
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:25,960
me.
Yeah, it's a.

404
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,040
Commitment.
Yeah.

405
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,440
More so because it.
Yeah, it's easy even on your end

406
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840
just to be like, here's this and
that.

407
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,080
That's really good.
I like that principle.

408
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Practice generosity.
One that's not as fun is #3 live

409
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,320
within your means, no.
It's not.

410
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,440
As fun it's it's this is the out
to eat.

411
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,040
This is the, you know, nice car.
The nice house really could

412
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,400
probably apply this.
As a hunting lease.

413
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,160
And then hunting.
Hunting lease.

414
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Yeah, You know, how do you try
to avoid debt?

415
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,800
Live within your means, honor
God, have some, you know, good

416
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,520
financial peace about you.
There's this proverb, Proverbs

417
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,160
22 seven, that says the borrower
is slave to the lender.

418
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640
And when you start living
outside of your means, it can, I

419
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,000
think it can get out of control.
And once it's out of control,

420
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,360
it's hard to reel that back in.
And I think, you know, for us

421
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:17,200
personally, we, we've and I
don't know if it's inflation or

422
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,800
what, but we felt like we were
really good at this.

423
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,320
And then like the last couple
years, it's like, wow, it seems

424
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,920
like everything is more
expensive.

425
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,200
You can't.
It's tougher.

426
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,880
Like you think we we think we're
living with our means and like

427
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,240
we're not changing anything, but
our discretionary spending bill

428
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,520
has gone down.
I, I know what you mean where

429
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,400
there was a time when I was a
kid, I could literally go to

430
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
Wendy's and I could get
something like for 4 bucks.

431
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,560
I could like eat a meal like I
would be full dollar menu was

432
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,560
actually good.
And I mean, I usually don't go

433
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,840
dollar menu now, but it's like
you get #1 it's like that'll be

434
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,080
12 bucks.
You're like what?

435
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,320
Right, it is.
It is crazy.

436
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,120
Same story, we had a Taco Bell
that was in a gas.

437
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:04,200
Station.
And like if you had 4-5 dollars

438
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:05,960
you could eat like a king.
I love.

439
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,160
It yes.
You could, you know, I would

440
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,640
get, I would get a drink and
this burrito and this Nacho

441
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,440
Supreme.
And it's like you can't do that

442
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,280
these days.
Yes.

443
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,320
So I guess if we want to drill
down a little more, how do you

444
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760
live within your means?
What are good, good principles?

445
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,920
And I think the thing that makes
it hard is, you know, I drive a

446
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,000
minivan.
You, you drive a minivan.

447
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,520
I mean, you guys have a minivan,
right?

448
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You look out like if I go out to

449
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,600
all my neighbors, like no one
has minivans.

450
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,640
It's all like these like super
nice, like Yukons or Suburbans.

451
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,840
And it's like before I got a
minivan, I was like, I'll just

452
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,360
get a Suburban.
And then I like, I didn't

453
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,160
realize, oh, this is a bajillion
dollars.

454
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Minivans are very cheap.
But it's like, you know, you

455
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,680
look out and everyone's got such
nice things too.

456
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,160
And that makes it hard.
How what are some, what's some

457
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,720
good practical advice?
How do you make sure you're

458
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,520
spending what's appropriate to
your financial situation?

459
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:05,280
Well, I we were talking, you
know, one thing that we did that

460
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,520
I looked back and went, oh, that
was not very smart.

461
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280
When we were first married, we
bought a car new.

462
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,880
OK, yeah, yeah.
What did you get?

463
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,760
A Chrysler Pacifica.
Chrysler.

464
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,400
Oh, OK, yeah.
Yeah, when they're when they're

465
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,760
when they were the wagon.
Oh yeah, the first, the first

466
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,000
launch of them and you know,
it's, it's fine.

467
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,440
It, it served.
We drove it to like 160,170

468
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,240
thousand so and then sold it.
So, you know, but you know,

469
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,480
there's a lot that you're paying
extra in a new car.

470
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,720
So we don't buy new cars
anymore.

471
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,400
I think that's one practical
way.

472
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,360
We ours are always used like
our, our in laws are like, well,

473
00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:47,160
we're about to sell this car.
I'm like, that's about that way.

474
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,840
I have a car, you know.
Perspective is all different and

475
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,680
I I count myself fortunate
because one way that Leanne and

476
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,520
I have been able to save money
over the years is hey, when my

477
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,000
parents are like, hey, we're
done with this car.

478
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,960
Do you want it?
We'll take a car for free.

479
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,640
Granted we're not driving like
fancy things like when we were

480
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,920
first married, we drove probably
for two, maybe not two years,

481
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:11,320
like a year and a half a 2003
Toyota Sienna like minivan as a

482
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,360
married couple like everyone's
like, oh, you guys are ready to

483
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:16,880
have kids and we're like, no,
no, no, it just it died.

484
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,240
My parents gave me their old
Prius and not everyone has it,

485
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,240
but it's, there was also a side
of me that was like, man, I

486
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,400
don't want to drive this.
I'm, I'm 23 years old.

487
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,880
Why am I driving a mini van or
something?

488
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,680
But you know, I was like, and I
think everyone's different.

489
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,720
God has blessed me with like not
being a car person.

490
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880
Like I don't, you know, like
that's not like where I love

491
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,400
'cause there's some people, it's
like that's their thing.

492
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,640
And that's great.
If you work on cars, great.

493
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,400
I've got my own things that I
like that I wait, you know,

494
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,920
spend money on and stuff.
But cars are not one of them.

495
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,280
They just have to be very
expensive things.

496
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,600
I'm like, they're already
expensive enough.

497
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,840
Tell me about this.
Do you, how closely do you guys

498
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,880
budgets?
Are you writing down everything?

499
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Is it like once a year you do a
strict budget and then are you

500
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,600
tracking it so closely?
Well, I'm the spender of the

501
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,200
family.
Jill's the saver of the family,

502
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,160
typically.
Also also practical advice.

503
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,400
Maria Saver.
Maria Saver.

504
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, yeah, I think you can if

505
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,160
you have two savers together.
That's hard to be charitable.

506
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:15,920
It's hard to.
Be.

507
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,360
There needs to be some balance
there, but I'll say we used to

508
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,840
and we stopped because we
weren't using it as much.

509
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,680
But there is a good app if, if
you want to do the do it called

510
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,000
you need a budget.
Why not?

511
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,320
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

512
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,800
And like that's like from Dave
Ramsey does he does.

513
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,240
He advertise it.
I don't know.

514
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,160
I have no idea.
So you can put in, you know,

515
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,040
what you want to spend on it
and, and and stuff.

516
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,920
And we were, we got to where
we're kind of doing it after the

517
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,800
fact.
So I was like, why am I spending

518
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,800
this money on this app if I'm
not going to use it the right

519
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,880
way?
But yeah, so we do sit down, we

520
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,000
give out some, you know, some
broad numbers, but we could do

521
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,040
better about dialing it in.
I would say I'm like in a

522
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,360
similar position.
There's like used to be maybe

523
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:09,400
more like once a year or there's
comes a time where I like really

524
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,360
look closely, like try to dial
it in and then and like re maybe

525
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,200
readjust some of those numbers
based on things that have

526
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,800
changed but have some
guidelines.

527
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Because the other side of it is
you can live.

528
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,600
You can live by that.
I think people that do that,

529
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:21,680
it's good.
That's probably good.

530
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,680
I should do better in.
Yeah, but you can like live by

531
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,920
that spreadsheet too.
Yeah.

532
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,960
And that, that I think that also
can be a problem where you're

533
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,640
you're being very good with your
money, but you're also kind of

534
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,560
making money.
And I like you're almost, it's

535
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,480
like, I don't know, you know.
There's got to be a balance.

536
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,160
There's got to be that balance.
I think Wynapp is not Dave

537
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Ramsey.
I think his is like every doubt

538
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,040
there's something, but they're
similar.

539
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,560
But I just looked it up and
they're like it's big thing

540
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,520
online.
I don't know but.

541
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,520
You know, we have made some
changes like we, you know, it's

542
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,760
easy if you have kids in sports
and stuff, but let's just eat

543
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:56,960
out tonight.
Let's just eat out tonight.

544
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,840
And we're like, OK, we have got
to rein this in.

545
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:06,160
So it is a rare, rare occasion
for us to eat out not on a

546
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,240
Sunday.
So we will like one day a week.

547
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,000
That's good.
Like that's, that's our kind of

548
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,600
a time.
And some of you people may say

549
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,680
that's still too much.
Like I remember growing up and

550
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,880
it may have been once a month
that we ate out.

551
00:26:17,120 --> 00:26:19,960
So it's still one one day a
week, still feels a little bit

552
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,320
with seven kids, but we try to
find reasonable places to eat,

553
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,960
you know?
Yeah, I think, I think it's

554
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,120
good.
Challenging to do, but that's

555
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,920
really good.
We as a family don't eat out

556
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,800
very much either.
I probably eat out too much work

557
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,680
related.
I'm trying.

558
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,720
This is bad excuse, but I come
out on the road in between

559
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,360
houses and stuff, you know,
running around.

560
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:41,680
So that's one area I've gotten
better at, which I'm still I'm

561
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,320
still not where I need to be.
Leanne is the saver, especially

562
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:51,360
with so many small kids close in
age and they're all boys pricing

563
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,760
all girls.
Like hand me down.

564
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,880
Like it's easy to keep clothes
and it's like they make it.

565
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,840
All the way buckets in our attic
and we're just now starting to

566
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,480
clear them out now.
Hey, hey, you never know, Maybe

567
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,360
maybe someone, another girl.
Would come along.

568
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:08,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But yeah 'cause kids clothes

569
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,160
ain't cheap.
Wait what?

570
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,480
A RIP up to wear something for
like 3 months and then you like

571
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:13,680
grow out of it when you're that
little?

572
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,880
Yeah, that is that is the case.
And we, we've never been like,

573
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,560
we have to get our kids the
latest, greatest styles or

574
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,840
anything like, yeah.
Right.

575
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,840
Yeah.
Speaking of keeping up with the

576
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Joneses, there are some families
where you're like, are your kids

577
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,880
wearing, like really nice
clothes all the time?

578
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,640
Like, are we just, like, bought?
Like, what are we doing with it?

579
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,640
You know, what's going on?
That's a big expense

580
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,560
potentially.
Yeah, I did most of Phoebe's

581
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,160
clothes summer, summer shopping
at Walmart and it's just like

582
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,320
55555 she's going.
To spill stuff on it anyway.

583
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,560
And she's going to like get
grass stained.

584
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,560
It's like, that's just like what
a kid's being like, you know,

585
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,520
I'm right there.
I'm right there with you living

586
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,360
within your means.
And my kids are a little, you

587
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:58,760
know, I'm sure their needs and
wants the expense grows.

588
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Like right now, if we go out to
eat, like kids can share meal

589
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,520
like it's like the it's we can
make it cheap, but the it's

590
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,120
coming soon.
Jackson eats more than anyone.

591
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,040
He's only 6.
And it's like, that's going to

592
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,760
be a bad day when like, you
know, even just you don't come

593
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,200
out your grocery bill, like
you're saying everything has

594
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,200
gotten expensive for Williams.
Like, hey, FYI, grocery budgets

595
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,560
got to go up.
I'm not buying anything

596
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,960
different, right?
But it's gotten a significantly

597
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,160
more expensive over the last
couple of.

598
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Years but we like to do this is
Jills favorite thing when we sit

599
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,160
down as a family meal she'll
like aren't kids.

600
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,200
How much did this meal cost and.
Like that's actually good.

601
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,440
OK, compare this to what we
spent Sunday like so you know,

602
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,280
you got to be wise with, you
know, with what, what what

603
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160
you're spending, so.
That's great too, and I'm sure a

604
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,640
lot of neighborhoods are like
this.

605
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,040
If you just get on that
neighborhood, stay up.

606
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,800
Don't be on social media too
much, but just enough when

607
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,360
people are giving away all their
free stuff where it's like,

608
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,040
that's how we get our bikes and
that's how we get like all like

609
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,200
Jane's got, you know, you know,
Yeah.

610
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,240
What bunk beds?
But yeah, yeah, we.

611
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,160
Didn't give it away, but it was
it was good we got.

612
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,520
A deal We got a deal from the
MOTS and it came with it's,

613
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,800
yeah, still holding up great,
which, you know, surprising

614
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,720
because I'm sure they treat
those things terribly, but yeah.

615
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,160
And it came within some
installation.

616
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,520
It's.
Great.

617
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,960
Yeah, free installation.
Michael helped out there, but

618
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280
there's a lot of little things
Leanne does really well at yeah,

619
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,640
doing like the yard sailing,
doing like looking at those

620
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,960
neighborhood things that's been
that's been really, really

621
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,480
helpful because that my default
is you want something that's

622
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,680
good, you want something that's
and there is a balance like

623
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,400
there's somethings unique
quality that's going to cost a

624
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,800
little more, but they're just
going to last longer like kids

625
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,200
clothes, not one of those
things.

626
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,280
Those things are disposable,
whatever, you know what I mean?

627
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:42,280
So trying to figure out all of
those different things and then

628
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,840
I guess we can we can stop at
this next one will be at a good

629
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,960
stopping point.
Save and invest wisely.

630
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040
It's important to save,
important to invest or you're

631
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,720
going to wind up one day.
And it's expensive to live.

632
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600
I go to all these assisted
livings and it's like, boy, you

633
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,960
ever have to go assisted living,
Be ready to shell out some money

634
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,560
even for not nice places.
It's, you know, you just spend

635
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,400
so much, it's crazy.
Proverbs 21 five says the plans

636
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,080
of the diligent lead surely to
abundance.

637
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,320
And you know, I think we see
investing, we see these

638
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:17,960
parables, we see things on
Proverbs.

639
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,720
We see it's, it's good to invest
for your future.

640
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,120
And so, you know, what, what are
some ways we can invest?

641
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,520
What what?
What are some good practical

642
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:35,200
steps to take?
What you know just the financial

643
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,760
side of it?
Like thinking of it as a

644
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,760
financial planner, you know if
your company has four O 1K

645
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,520
matching.
Yeah, that's no brainer.

646
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,240
Take advantage of it.
Although I heard that you know

647
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,360
that companies use that just as
a tax write off.

648
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,920
So somehow they get extra tax
write off for it.

649
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,200
So that's why they do it.
I believe it not out of the just

650
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,600
the generosity of their heart
starting young.

651
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,360
Starting young, that's probably
the big I was like every I don't

652
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,760
know, I've read something one
time.

653
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,240
It's like man, if you just like
kids born put 1000 bucks and

654
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,040
contribute like $50.00 a month
or something.

655
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,160
It's like by the time there's 65
there'll be a millionaire just

656
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,440
just because of the time.
You know, that is good not to

657
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:22,320
not to totally wait there.
Yeah, the automated 4O1K that

658
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,600
that that that's a good one.
I really like HSA.

659
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,320
I'm just, I just Max out that
HSA all the time because it's

660
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,040
just.
You know.

661
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,000
Tax protected times 3 and that
thing just.

662
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,920
Didn't mean for HSA.
Is that health?

663
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,160
Health savings accounts, Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

664
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Not to be confused with a
flexible savings or spending

665
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,760
account or whatever.
The FSAHSA is where it's at.

666
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,960
And a lot of companies also
contribute to HSAS as well.

667
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,760
The problem with HSA, you only
can contribute a small amount.

668
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,240
It's, you know, every year.
So you can't like take as much

669
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,800
advantage of it as like a four O
1K or an IRA or something like

670
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,800
that.
Other side of it, you know, if

671
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,480
you're handy or entrepreneurial
and want to do like rentals or

672
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,720
that kind of thing a little bit
maybe more risk, you know, maybe

673
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,000
a little bit different.
Everyone's kind of built

674
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,400
different based on what their
skill set is and what they're

675
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,360
willing to jump into where I
think the rental side I think

676
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,400
sounds really fun, but I think
it probably comes with, you

677
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,040
know, more, more challenges.
So you know.

678
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,280
Now do you have you have
rentals?

679
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,040
Right, I do.
I do.

680
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,280
Have rentals 2.
Oh, I, I, I'm trying to, I'm

681
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,240
pumping the brakes on the
rentals, but I, I think I'm good

682
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360
where I'm at.
We got 5 and we're just like

683
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,160
hanging out there, but they're.
They're one in Cabot.

684
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Arkansas, yeah, that's my pride
and joy.

685
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,120
Cabot, They're they're on the
middle of the country where

686
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,880
they're not in Charleston
because Charleston's expensive

687
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,800
and you can get good, good deals
or you could get good deals

688
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,480
years ago, like pre like, Oh
man, you could buy homes.

689
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,080
I mean they're not the nicest
homes in the world, but you

690
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,640
know, they'll get tenants in
there for like 140,000 like you,

691
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,000
you could now you can't get that
anywhere.

692
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
But that was like that was, and
I was like reevaluating.

693
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,080
I think in the long run it's
good.

694
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,800
It's kind of like a forced
savings account where just the

695
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,160
equity building up is good.
It's not like I'm cash flowing

696
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,000
up the jillion dollars, but I
think it's good.

697
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,160
But also if I put all my money
in the stock market, like over

698
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,600
the last eight years, it's been
really good too.

699
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,400
You know what I mean?
It's like, as long as you are

700
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,360
like putting your money
somewhere, I'm like, you're

701
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,440
probably doing, doing OK.
Not that THX or whatever that

702
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,280
fund was.
What was the fund where the guy

703
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,960
stole all the money?
Yeah, you just got to avoid like

704
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,040
massive scams and you'll be OK.
Just walk.

705
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,840
And then one note I put on
there, invest in your health.

706
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,400
Like maybe you do a gym
membership or maybe you do get

707
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,600
some.
You don't really need a

708
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,680
membership, but you know, I
think there's something to that

709
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,640
where you can have a lot of
health problems as you get older

710
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,520
or you can have, you know what I
mean?

711
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,520
It's like save you money.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

712
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,160
And you're just a if you're.
Saying an ounce of provision

713
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,720
prevention is worth a pound of
cure?

714
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280
Yeah.
Yeah, nailed it where you're

715
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,560
just more vibrant person, you
can probably work hard, you

716
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,360
probably have better
productivity, you probably can

717
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,320
spend more valuable time with
your family if you just like

718
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,760
work out a little bit, you're
like semi healthy so.

719
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Longer work, Yeah, Yeah, you
don't need to retire soon.

720
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,600
Yeah, you, you.
I think there's a lot of

721
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,360
benefits there.
I think the challenge is you can

722
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,520
say, hey, I'm eating everything.
Or like, you can go and you're

723
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,800
actually spending a lot of money
and it's like, OK, there's some

724
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,199
risk reward that falls off where
you're like, OK, I'm not eating

725
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:29,679
Chick-fil-A, but maybe I don't
need like the most pristine

726
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,199
whatever.
Keep mentioning Chick-fil-A.

727
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:33,840
I know man, so I love
Chick-fil-A.

728
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,800
Chick-fil-A an idol, too.
Idol.

729
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,360
Chick-fil-A and then when it
comes to working out, you could

730
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,920
probably just do a fine workout
at your home by a couple

731
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,199
weights.
Probably don't need to spend

732
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,639
like $500 a month and you're
like, I'm just being healthy.

733
00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:48,120
Maybe that is excessive too.
All this, all that.

734
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,400
And then we mentioned this.
But I, I, I, I think this is

735
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,760
important.
Like you, you need to be a

736
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,400
little bit flexible.
Like whether it's like you, you

737
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,360
can move or you can try a
different career path.

738
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,160
Like if you're just like so
inflexible, maybe that's why

739
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,440
things aren't going great.
I don't know.

740
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:04,560
I I, I saw this story where
people are talking about that

741
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,480
moving to other countries where
they're like, we live like

742
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:15,840
royalty and, you know, I get
paid, you know, this salary, you

743
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,000
know, I can work remotely.
And it's like we have this villa

744
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:25,240
and we have these housekeepers
and it's like, because the, the

745
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:29,080
cost of living there so much
lower than it is in certain

746
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:29,880
areas.
Yeah.

747
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,000
So I I.
Think, I think there's something

748
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,320
to some of that.
If it's like, hey, there's a

749
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,720
good opportunity and it's a
couple hours anyway.

750
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:40,480
If it, if it comes down to, you
know, providing for your family

751
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,000
or that kind of thing, well,
that's great.

752
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,520
We're, we're halfway through the
lists because it's a lot of

753
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,520
practical advice.
We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll shoot

754
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,880
another one of these out.
Anything You were telling me how

755
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,720
if you saw Dave Ramsey in an
alley, you would just punch that

756
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:56,160
guy in the face?
Oh, I didn't say that.

757
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Oh, just kidding.
Oh, yeah.

758
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,280
So we followed.
We we followed a lot of.

759
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,160
Yeah, my my parents like.
Took a course to say, you know,

760
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,360
yell freedom yet.
Yeah, yeah, the mortgage is not

761
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,320
paid off yet, but.
Yeah, honestly, yeah.

762
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,760
Maybe we can talk about him a
little more next episode.

763
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,120
Like not having a lot of debt is
a good a good place, good place

764
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,160
to be.
I don't maybe we can here's a

765
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,880
little, well, I'm just going to
stop talking or we're going to

766
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,520
keep talking.
But that, that, that's great.

767
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,560
Any any last minute.
Words.

768
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,800
Yeah, just say that.
Chicken Minis.

769
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,120
Phoebe wanted to know today
because Jill was in one of these

770
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,920
situations where she needed to
just grab some food and Phoebe

771
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,480
want to know why.
If it's chicken mini, why

772
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,440
there's only four in there?
Chicken Mini.

773
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,040
I see, I see so so nice.
I like that got the puns at a

774
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,160
young age raising your.
Daughter, well, I think she's

775
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,040
just generally confused mini
versus mini.

776
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,800
She wasn't making a pun.
She was like, yeah, yeah, great.

777
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,360
Well, well, we'll be back with a
