Mr. Fittoy's.

Welcome to episode 651 with my guest, Christine Lane.

We're going to talk about the psychology of money, spending, saving, a lot of other stuff.

And it is a coincidence that I've been sharing the last two weeks about a financial crisis

I've been having with the podcast and asking for financial support.

I recorded this episode with Chris maybe three months ago, something like that before the

bottom dropped out here on the podcast.

Thank you, those of you who have stepped up on Patreon.

And I got a really nice email from a listener, his name is Bill, and he's been a supporter

for a while.

And he said, stop apologizing about asking for money.

He said, you're giving value for value.

And I would agree.

And I don't know why it's so hard for me to say that.

But the analogy I thought of that I would share with you guys is if you stopped on the

street every week and listened to me entertain you for an hour.

Would you put anything in my empty guitar case or would you just listen and leave?

So I don't know if that makes sense, but we really need financial help.

There are a major sponsor of ours and I have parted ways.

And it was a difficult decision for me to do that.

But in my heart, I knew it was the right thing to do.

Even though it leaves me way, way, way below the money I need for to keep this podcast
