| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. There's a lot of things that keep us from being happy, but probably one of the biggest struggles that we deal with is our finances. |
| 0:16.5 | How do we handle paying our bills, getting by, doing what we want, finding work that we love, and still being happy. |
| 0:25.1 | For many of us, getting by financially is quite challenging, |
| 0:30.1 | and when we wake up at 3 in the morning and can't sleep, often it's because we're worried about our finances. |
| 0:36.0 | Probably one of the most difficult experiences I ever had with getting by is when I was much younger. |
| 0:43.2 | I was in a very difficult and precarious financial situation |

| 1:20.0 | And when I went back to eat my food that night, it had all been stolen. |
| 1:24.0 | So for the next two weeks, I lived on that pancake mix with sugar, just adding water, for the next two weeks every night. |
| 1:31.0 | And I don't think after that I could eat pancakes for years, |
| 1:35.0 | though thankfully I developed a taste for them years later. |
| 1:38.0 | But the truth of it is, we can go through difficult times. |
| 1:42.0 | We may be going through difficult times, or difficult times |
| 1:45.4 | may be ahead of us. |
| 1:47.3 | And when it's financial, they can be scary. |
| 1:50.7 | So let's talk about how do we live well with our finances. |
