Hello, friends. Welcome, delighted you're with me today. You know, one of many reasons history is

important is that it allows us an understanding into the social, cultural, intellectual, and emotional

settings that help shape actions and ultimately how history is written. But it's also important to examine

those factors within our own lives, specifically as it relates to personal finances.

And that's why we'd like to present a new podcast we think you'll enjoy.

It's called What We Spend.

In each episode, host Courtney Herald talks with one person as they document a full week of their lives and all the ways money has factored into it.

People from all over the country and all walks of life examine and share the ways they make

money, the ways they spend money, and all of the thoughts and emotions they have along the way.

Their revealing conversations lend a unique perspective into people's relationship with money

and may even help us

understand how our own spending habits are shaped. As you enjoy this preview, be sure to search

I think when it comes to money, even if you don't want to admit it, we're all a little nosy.

But I don't know, I actually think that's good. I think we should be talking about money more.

And all the ways big and small that it impacts our lives.
