0:00.0 | Hello, Wine Ebers. My name is Jesse Meekham and this is podcast number 134 for you need a budget where we teach you four rules to help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt, and save more money. |
0:21.5 | I'm going to be blunt today and do not intend to offend, but sometimes we'll get support |
0:32.4 | cases or we'll get,'ll see chatter on the forums and I'll have |
0:36.8 | someone that'll come in with just really a really crazy use case for Wienab and one for which we likely didn't design because it's so on the fringe. |

1:43.2 | They're spending on the credit card in January what they earn in February, and that is not ideal. |
1:52.1 | We call it playing the float, and there's really nothing that's fun about it. |
