| 0:00.0 | Hello, wineappers. My name is Jesse Mika, and this is podcast number 517 for wineapp, |
| 0:09.6 | where we teach you four rules to help you stop an impeture to paycheck, get out of debt, |
| 0:13.1 | and save more money. Welcome back to our special series, Wineapp Behind the Scenes, |
| 0:18.0 | a series where you hear a series of interviews directly from the team at Wineapp. Today, |
| 0:23.5 | we're talking about a very popular subject, and that is budgeting with a partner. Whether |
| 0:28.1 | managing money hand in hand, budgeting with reluctant partners, or learning to navigate |
| 0:32.7 | different money mindsets, the team here at Wineapp has a lot to say when it comes to how to manage |
| 0:37.8 | money together. For anyone in budgeting with a partner who might be one day, this episode is for |

| 1:34.4 | Not only does he see the progress that we have made because we're in control of our money, |
| 1:41.8 | but he sees the trusts in the faith and the confidence I have in Wineapp, the company, |
| 1:46.8 | and the good things that it has done for me. I think he feels like a kinship with using the app |
| 1:54.3 | because of the people that support it too. I definitely feel that way. Yeah. It answers our |
| 2:02.1 | questions without any argument or biggerment or debate. I had to say this in a workshop last |
| 2:11.6 | week, the new budgeting with a partner workshop. Sometimes the budget can be the bad guy. |
| 2:18.4 | It's not really a bad guy because you decide what your priorities are, but it helps you identify, |
