Jesse shares a story about taking a group of kids hiking, and coming down with altitude sickness on the first day. He could have quit, but he figured out a way to re-route the hike where he could safely get through. It's not so different when working with personal finances. It's tempting to just quit when things get hard, or road blocks come up, but sometimes all you need to do is slow down your plans.

0:00.0 | Hello, whinabbers. My name is Jesse Meekham with another episode of the |
0:07.8 | whinab podcast and I'm here each week to obsess out loud about spending |
0:10.7 | purposefully, joyfully, hopefully, lovingly, saving aspirationally, |
0:15.6 | and even giving joyfully, it all comes down to just these four rules. |
0:20.8 | Really the main rule is to give every dollar a job. |
0:24.0 | That's really it. But the joy, the beauty, not joy, the beauty of it |
0:28.0 | is that you have this beautiful harmony between past you that's put you in this current situation and it might not be bad. |
0:37.0 | It might not be bad at all. |
0:38.0 | Present you whose job it is to deal with past you and all ramifications good or bad and then think about future you. |
0:46.7 | And in that harmonious moment all you're doing is giving every dollar a job. |
0:51.8 | You're feeling scarcity. You're feeling it. You're |
0:55.1 | letting it inform you, teach you. You're looking inward, not outward to everyone |
0:59.9 | else. You're looking inward. And you're figuring out what you want to do and that is |

1:38.5 | we drop in I had not to brag but that morning before we left for this five day backpacking adventure |
1:46.0 | not to brag but I did set a personal best on my three sets of five |
1:52.0 | squat okay So my legs were feeling it and as we're |
1:57.8 | hiking in we get about nine miles. It takes us I don't know several hours. We were clocking nothing fast, like a two mile an hour |
