| 0:00.0 | Hello, Wine Einebbers, my name is Jesse Meekham, that's his podcast number 211 for Wienam, where we teach you four |
| 0:15.2 | rules to help you stop living paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt and save more money. And it really is all about the money, isn't it? |
| 0:25.0 | No, it isn't. |
| 0:26.0 | But if money's in the way of everything, |
| 0:28.0 | then it does start to feel like |

| 1:40.3 | No, what didn't work was your foresight, your ability to predict the future, your data was bad, |
