| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Thursday, April 23rd, and we are here guiding you along your financial journey, wherever that journey might take you. |
| 0:13.9 | And I want to just be clear, it's your journey. What is on your mind is what's important to us. So if that's a question and you're a little |
| 0:23.9 | embarrassed about it, don't be. We can always change your name. You come on the program. It's fine. |
| 0:28.4 | If it's just, you're feeling shaky about a decision coming up, that's fine. Let us help you |
| 0:34.8 | because so much of our financial life is wrapped up in emotions. |

Lately, I've just been drinking scotch. Okay, well, we can have a scotch company, but, you know, it's hard because scotch is more expensive now with tariffs, et cetera. So isn't it a U.S.-based thing, a better product for us? You're right. It is very expensive. When we just came back from Europe, I was checking out the duty-free.
