Hello, whinnebers my name is Jesse Meekham, and this is podcast number 81 for

0:16.8

you need a budget, where we teach you four rules to help you stop living paycheck to

0:20.8

paycheck, get out of debt debt and save more money.

0:24.7

Today I wanted to go totally off the rails and talk about Wyanam for business.

0:31.0

I wrote a post back on the blog a year ago, maybe more.

0:35.0

Talking about how we moved Wienab to, Wienab the business to Wienab the software

and how awesome it's been. It's helped us grow faster because it's allowed me to be more aggressive with reinvesting

the double entry side of things. So here's how I would do it if Wienab had accounts

2:06.1
