| 0:00.0 | If you've had the feeling in your 40s and 50s that it's too late for you to save money, |
| 0:03.5 | too late to prioritize your retirement, this episode is for you. Because the truth, almost every woman, |
| 0:09.0 | no matter her age, feels behind. I'm joined by the legendary Gene Chatsky, long-time financial |
| 0:13.9 | journalist, best-selling author, founder of her money, and a woman whose work has shaped an |
| 0:18.3 | entire generation of women's financial literacy, including my own. |
| 0:21.7 | Gina's helped millions understand money more clearly, and today's episode she opens up about her own story, |
| 0:26.6 | starting over at 40 after a divorce, job loss, and the death of a parent, all in the same year. |

| 1:11.3 | The other thing he's doing on Squarespace is that he can send emails to anybody that signs up who's |
| 1:16.2 | interested through their email campaign tool. And he can also take payments directly through |
| 1:21.2 | Squarespace. So he doesn't have to use and pay for like another payment processing service. |
