Hello, Wineappers. My name is Jesse. We come with another episode of The Wineapp Podcast

0:08.7

where we teach you for rules to help you stop a new paycheck to paycheck, get out of

0:11.7

debt and save more money. I'm going to do an Ask Jesse episode. You can send in questions

0:15.8

to Ask Jesse at Wineapp.com. And yeah, let's just dive in. I've got a question from an

0:24.2

email that goes, I think, by Dimple. Dimple is their name. So, or a nickname, they said

0:31.6

that they listen to the Wineapp Podcasts and binge listened. That's not cool, but they

0:36.5

also enjoy budget nerds. If you often listen to budget nerds, I mean, Ben and Ernie, they're

0:41.6

fantastic. So yeah, you can just, you can really nerd out with those guys. Okay, here's

0:48.2

1:19.7

how often just money kind of will appear in your life. And that'll fund like kind of

1:24.0

extras the spa that trip to Italy, that kind of thing. So retirement withdraws are just

1:29.2

for like normal everyday spending. Do they, do I recommend having two budgets in Wineapp

1:34.5

and linking the appropriate account to each budget or keeping it all in one budget? They

1:39.2

just want to ensure they say that retirement distributions would be enough to live on

1:43.1

in case I decided to stop working completely. I would do it in one budget and I would just

1:47.8

have different category groups and know which groups were kind of like necessary and

1:53.6

which were these bonus kind of through through extra categories. I would not run two budgets.
