One of the reasons true crime cases are so compelling is that allows us a deeper understanding

into human nature and the factors that influence behavior. But it's also important to

examine those influences in our own lives, including as it relates to personal finances.

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, one person opens their wallet and documents 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 share the ways they make money,

the ways they spend money, and all the thoughts and

emotions they have along the way. The conversations are intimate, thoughtful, and sometimes

emotional, but always real. As you enjoy this preview, be sure to search the full episode of

what we spend on your favorite podcast platform. You know how you always want to know about everyone else's money?

You do, right?

Like, you'll see someone buying something you want or taking some amazing vacation and you think,

how can they afford that?

Or you meet your friend's new girlfriend and she has some very impressive job and you think,

how much money does she make? 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.

On this show, we are actually going to do that. We are going to go somewhere that we almost

never get to go deep into the heart of someone else's finances. Here's how this is going to work.

Each week, I'm going to introduce you to a new person from somewhere across the country.

And they are going to tell us everything about their finances, how much they make, how much they want to make, what they worry about, or if they don't worry at all.
