| 0:00.0 | Hey Waffle Gang, I do hope you are well. My name is Mark and today we're checking out some more |

| 0:13.7 | maybe that notification bell too and let's crack on with today's first story. Much love guys. |
| 0:20.2 | Now today's first story comes from Puzz guys. Now, today's first story comes from puzzle-headed job |
| 0:23.1 | 577 and it says, am I the asshole for making my boyfriend pay half the rent? I'm 27 female |
| 0:32.0 | and make about $130,000. 30k of that being from a side hustle. My boyfriend of two and a half years is 28 male and makes $80,000. 30K of that being from a side hustle. My boyfriend of two and a half years is 28 |

| 1:16.9 | Everything that comes in goes out. |
| 1:19.1 | He eats out every day, leases an expensive car and is always buying things. |
| 1:24.2 | I don't know where his money goes and to be honest, I don't think he does either. I don't |
| 1:28.3 | love his spending habits, but I'm okay with it. Saving 10% is more than a lot of people do, |
| 1:34.1 | and he doesn't have any credit card debt, so whatever. The issue is that he's supposed to be |
| 1:39.1 | moving into my apartment next month. He currently lives in a house with three other guys and pays |
