Hello, Wine Embers. My name is Jesse Meakum with another episode of the Wine Emper podcast,

where we teach you four rules to help you stop and pitch to paycheck, get out of debt

and save more money. I'm just going to dive right back into it, everyone. I don't have

any original topics. I will say I have made a back to school goal, and that is to play

more. Play. Just play. Play is the word. One of our employees here, she has a word of

the year, and I was thinking about that, and I thought, hey, my word of the next, I don't

know, a little while, is play. And I'm just playing with it, so to speak. So that's not

really much of an episode. I wanted to just dive back into the ass, Jesse's, because

I hate having a long to do list, and that's exactly what this looks like right now.

Okay, Anne asks, says, I use one card for all spending, and I want a small retail store,

so that includes purchasing inventory, the rewards go into a $5.29 program, cool. And the

contributions of total 15K, very cool. There's currently a positive balance of about

4K. My kid attends a state school, and my spouse is employed there specifically to access

the discounted tuition. So far, Anne, this is looking real good. I agree that it means

that I'm always in debt, but as with the mortgage, I'm using very low cost, and in this case,

my cost is my bookkeeping time, to acquire what, at least, is theoretically an asset, an

education. And when my sister got laid off last year, I was able to send a couple thousand

toward my nephew's tuition without impacting my normal budget. That's also very cool.

I do understand your point of view, and for what it's worth, our mortgage has been paid

for 18 years or so. You guys, Anne's killing it. Okay. So, but then she says, but in my

world, 15K ain't nothing. And I agree with that. Love it. Yeah. Do not change a thing,

but I'm glad you're along for the experiments. Absolutely. That wasn't even a question.
