| 0:00.0 | Hello, why nabbers. My name is Jesse Meekham and this is |
| 0:07.0 | podcast number 335 for why now where we teach you four rules to |
| 0:12.2 | help you stop living paycheck to |
| 0:13.4 | paycheck, get out of debt and save more money. A while back, years ago. I recall a, yeah, I don't know where I was in a meeting of some kind and I just had the thought. It might have been around just last week we talked about kind of my |
| 0:35.8 | thoughts on what parents need to provide their kids and that that relates to |

| 1:52.3 | You may very well feel this obligation as a couple together |
| 1:56.1 | and Julie has Julie does feel this it's not in the way that it's like oh go out and get a paycheck |
| 2:02.0 | kind of way but it's still very much |
