| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody, Susio here now. What is the goal of money? The goal of money is for you to be secure. |
| 0:06.3 | And there is no better way for you to be secure than having an emergency savings account. |
| 0:13.3 | It is essential for your financial foundation. So all of you should be participating in |
| 0:19.2 | the ultimate opportunity savings account at Alliant Credit Union. |
| 0:23.9 | Go to MyAlliant.com everybody to the Women and Money podcast, as well as everybody smart enough to listen. |
| 0:48.5 | Susie O' here, and today is Susie School. But before I tell you about Susie School, tomorrow is September 8th. |
| 0:57.5 | Did you know that? Of course you did. But did you also know that tomorrow 15 years ago, |
| 1:04.3 | Miss Travis and I got married in South Africa. So we will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. And you may be thinking, |
| 1:15.4 | but Susie, gay marriage wasn't legal in 2010. Oh, it most certainly was in South Africa. |

| 2:12.6 | get scared. And why? Because these are scary times. And these markets can absolutely go down. They could go down |
| 2:22.3 | another 10%. Why? Because of the tariffs, we don't know about them still. All the lawsuits that are |
| 2:30.3 | happening in the United States of America, the possibility of a government shutdown, |
| 2:36.5 | what's going on with Gaza, with Ukraine. There are many scary things happening out there. |
| 2:44.5 | So, of course, you possibly could be reading the headlines and going, oh, my God, |
| 2:50.2 | we're in another bubble. |
| 2:51.8 | Everything's going to just crash. |
