| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jill On Money Show. It's Thursday, May 21st, and we are here answering your financial questions. |
| 0:10.8 | If you have one, just go to our website, Jillonmoney.com. In the upper right hand corner, there is a contact us button. |
| 0:17.5 | When you click that button, a form will pop up. That is the email that we receive. If you would |
| 0:23.7 | like to join us on the air live, then all you need to do is check the box. Now, just big |
| 0:29.6 | announcements here in that we're launching a brand new web show. Are we calling it a web show or |
| 0:36.1 | another podcast, Mark? What do we want to call this? |
| 0:38.1 | I mean, I would just say we're rebranding the Money Watch podcast. Okay, we are rebranding the Money Watch podcast. Okay. So we have another |
| 0:46.9 | podcast which we have previously dropped on the weekends. We are rebranding that. It is going to be |
| 0:52.8 | called Money Moves. And Money Moves is going to be called money moves. And money moves is going to have a video |
| 0:57.7 | component. So if you're too shy to come on audio, you're certainly going to be too shy to come on video. |
| 1:03.5 | But we are trying to really focus money moves on people who are, let's call it, 25 to 45. |
| 1:10.8 | Okay. So if you're going to want to listen anyway,'s call it, 25 to 45. |
| 1:11.5 | Okay. |
| 1:14.1 | So if you're going to want to listen anyway, you're going to want to watch. |
| 1:15.0 | Anyone can join. |
| 1:19.9 | But we really want to focus the program on people who are in the beginning of their financial journeys because so many of you are like incredible. |
| 1:23.6 | You've done an amazing job. |
| 1:24.5 | But we really thought that it would be smart for us to try to cater to |
| 1:28.7 | a group of people who is more at the beginning of their financial journey rather than the middle |
| 1:33.0 | towards the end. So the way that you can subscribe to money moves is by subscribing to |
| 1:38.2 | Money Watch because the feed's going to just turn over and become money moves and we'll have |
| 1:42.7 | all the exciting news about which YouTube channel. I don't know if it's going to live on our YouTube channel or the CBS or Paramount YouTube channel. I don't know a lot yet. But I know that we've been having fun making the show and the most important thing is that one of the people involved in the show said to me when he met Mark in person, oh, he's so handsome. You liked that, Mark, didn't you? Yeah, I never really get that, so I'll take it. Yeah. Oh, what do you mean? You're such a good-looking guy. Stop it. Anyway, check it all out. You know one way to stay abreast of all of the information and all the things that we're doing is to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter, which comes out on Fridays, which would be tomorrow. |
