| 0:00.0 | Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. In the spirit of what I think is just a consistent thread that we see throughout and even that I face throughout times in my life is five reasons to get any job. Just to get any job. All right. So number one, some money is better than no money. |
| 0:22.9 | That's right. Right? Some money coming in is better than no money. When COVID hit, we were in the |
| 0:28.6 | cruise industry and ain't nobody going on cruises and the live entertainment industry and wasn't |
| 0:34.7 | nobody going to a live event. So I had to get a job and my husband had to |
| 0:39.6 | get a job. I had to get a job that I did not like that to be honest, I was fully, fully, |
| 0:46.5 | fully overqualified for, but we didn't want to just burn savings. So it's like bring in some money. |
| 0:52.4 | Like we're debt free. We have hardly any expenses. |
| 0:55.1 | Any money that we bring in is going to be great. So we did that. And it didn't feel good. |
| 1:00.2 | And let me just say, I don't necessarily believe that work is beneath people. But in some days, |
| 1:04.4 | it felt like it was beneath me. Like let's just be honest about that. Somebody needs to say it. |
| 1:08.7 | You know, some of you feel like, listen, I don't, |
| 1:11.1 | I shouldn't be working at McDonald's. Okay, I get that you feel that way, but you don't have any |
| 1:15.9 | money. So go work at McDonald's. All right. And listen, just be happy that McDonald's is open, |
| 1:20.6 | because back in the day, in COVID, it wasn't even open. So anyway, some money is better than no |
| 1:26.3 | money. Rachel, the next one I have here is your spouse needs to see who you are. |
| 1:32.8 | And if you're a husband or a wife and you're facing a very hard time in your marriage, go get a job. |
| 1:40.1 | Because when they see you at home and you're not working and they feel like they're taking on the |
| 1:45.7 | burden of that, you can help take some of that off. So go get a job. And then that might encourage |
| 1:52.1 | your spouse to go get a job. Like that is good. Your spouse will feel like, I remember when I was a |
| 1:57.8 | kid, like my dad, he just was always working. And I was like, one thing about |
| 2:02.2 | my dad is like, this man is going to work. Like, and it just, it builds a sense of security in your |
| 2:07.2 | kids and in your family. Go get a job. And no one's going to be going, well, but my dad only works here. |
