Welcome to How to Money.

I'm Joel and I am Matt.

Today we're talking mistaken starting salaries,

crypto mortgages, and self-inflicted inflation.

Okay.

You know,

I'm... Self-inflicted inflation. Are we going to delve into the political waters, Joel?

No. You're doing it to

yourselves, people. No. There's a lot out of your control, but yeah, yeah. And there's also,

what I mean is like actually as a country by that. Like, we're kind of like, self-voning.

That's exactly what I mean. But then someone on one side of the aisle might say, well,

could you say it's self-inflicted in the same way that if a dog was attacking you and you were trying to knock

it off that you hurt your hand, that like, well, it was self-inflicted. You did it to yourself. I think

some folks would also make the argument that like, well, we kind of needed to do something. But how

about that's just going to be as political as it gets for this episode? Because that's not what we typically focus on here. I almost got attacked by a dog walking up to record this episode with you too, buddy. Maybe that's why I just thought of that. Literally the dog. That example. So we record in a garage apartment. Self-inflicted, Joel. You shouldn't have been so eager to get the dog off your leg.

I mean, it's this tiny little pooch. It's not frightening at all. Even tiny dogs have teeth. That's true. It's got a ferocious little bark though. And I was like, are you going to let me up the driveway today? Fingers crossed. He's been led inside and we actually don't hear him during this recording. during our Friday flight where we hit the most recent pertinent, relevant headlines

and specifically how they impact your money.

No doubt.

You're going to talk about your money today, Joel?

Yeah.
