0:00.0	Hey, everybody. And we can do hard things. We have deeper discussions about why we are the way we are, what really matters to us, and the questions under the questions. I have always been fascinated by our relationship with money, the power it has over us, what it shows about the way we grew up, our belief in abundance or scarcity, our fears, our values,
0:23.4	how it's just like almost everything else, a tool that helps to show us what we believe,
0:29.4	how sometimes we misuse that tool to get things it could never give us, acceptance, belonging,
0:35.1	love, and how we can use money to co-create the things we want to see in the
0:40.5	world. Personally, as a chronic saver, never throw her awayer, and thrifter, I am always fascinated
0:47.7	by what I refuse to spend money on and what I decide to spend money on. That's why I'm excited
0:53.5	to share a preview of what we spend,
0:56.8	a new podcast that explores this uniquely personal but universally relatable topic. In each episode,
1:03.2	host Courtney Harrell takes one person as they document a full week of their lives and all the
1:09.6	ways money has factored into it.
1:11.8	People from all over the country and all walks of life share the ways they make money,

1:20.6	And don't we have so many emotions around the topic?
1:23.7	The conversations are intimate, intentional, and often help uncover what matters most and what doesn't within each person's unique set of circumstances.
1:32.3	As you listen to this preview, be sure to search for the full episode of what we spend on your favorite podcast platform.
1:40.0	How big is the margin between what you make and your regular bills every month?
1:46.0	How much wiggle do you have?
1:48.0	Like no wiggle room?
1:52.0	Do you know how much money you spend in a week?
1:56.0	Like if you were to add it all up, the little treats, the cost of groceries these days, those unexpected car repairs, the new pair of shoes you really don't need, it adds up, right?
2:06.6	It adds up for everyone. We just don't usually talk about it.
2:11.6	But imagine if we did. Imagine if you could ask someone anything you wanted about their finances.
