| 0:05.0 | You know, when I was in my 20s, I spent money like a lot of people in their 20s do going out for drinks, eating cheap food, a little bit of traveling, but in my 40s, my spending looks really different. |
| 0:17.0 | And that's totally normal. Have you ever thought about how your money spending changes from your 20s to your 30s of 40s and beyond? |
| 0:25.0 | That's what I'm going to talk about this Saturday. |
