| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody, welcome to an extremely special edition of the How to Buy a Home podcast. |
| 0:19.1 | Ladies a gentleman, we've got a guest. Joel |
| 0:22.8 | Lars Garder is here. Hi, Joel. Hey, David. Thanks for having me. Now, for those of you don't know, |
| 0:27.8 | Joel has an awesome podcast called How to Money. It's him and his best friend Matt. They've got |
| 0:33.0 | almost 100 episodes are up to 93, started in December of 2017. And when I was searching on the |
| 0:39.5 | internet to try to find information for you guys, you know, folks are thinking about buying a home, |
| 0:43.6 | guess who popped up? Joel and Matt, but Joel, I got confused because right at the beginning, |
| 0:48.8 | the first episode says that it was talking about you guys because you liked biking. That's exactly |
| 0:54.1 | right. Oh yeah, |
| 0:54.6 | we're huge fans of riding bikes. In my mind, that's one of the number one money savers you can |
| 0:59.6 | actually do is just to ride your bike more frequently. That's how that started. And for those of you, |
| 1:04.7 | I can truly attest to this because we moved the time of the podcast today because he doesn't want to get caught in the rain because he you rode your bike to work today yeah that's right i try to ride it you know as often as |

| 1:33.9 | drink craft beer on your shows. Tell us how that started. Sure. Yeah. So I think there are a lot of |
| 1:39.7 | financial podcasts and shows out there that really do a lot of good, help folks. But they're also, |
| 1:44.9 | one, they're kind of hard to relate to. And two, it seems like they're all about deprivation. |
| 1:49.0 | It's like, hey, how can I save every single penny or figure out how to make my life miserable |
| 1:53.6 | while I'm trying to kind of get my financial ground game together? And so the craft beer for us |
| 1:58.8 | in our show, it kind of represents that willingness to spend money on things that actually matter to us now and not just purely thinking about the future, although that's really important, but actually prioritize living a rich life like in the here and now at the same time. |
