| 0:11.0 | paycheck to paycheck, get out of debt and save more money. |
| 0:16.4 | I attempted last October and many of you wrote to me giving me words of encouragement. |
| 0:21.6 | I attempted last October to do a manual, you know, manual only |
| 0:26.0 | October meaning that I would just manually enter my transactions. Well, it didn't work. I failed to create a habit. So fast forward through November, December, and a little |
