Hello, whinabbers. My name is Jesse Meekham with another episode of the

whinab podcast and I'm here each week to obsess out loud about spending

purposefully, saving, aspirationally, and even giving joyfully.

It all comes down, as you know, to just four simple habits.

But for today, I just wish you a very, very Merry Christmas and I hope it was yeah I just hope the day is full of all that you were hoping for

We take a break at Wienam around the holidays, so it's a two-week break, I think, is how it kind of works out to be.

And we started it when we were a really small company and then it was kind of easy and we've

kept it as we've become a slightly larger company and it's become a little more of a,

you know, a little more of a trick to make sure everyone gets their, gets their

holiday time off, we gotta stagger things and things like that.

But it's important.

I like, I like this kind of forced moment where we get to figure out or remember. I think it's really

remember what's really important.

And I know you're going to say, well, Jesse, how does this tie in to, you know,

spending?

Well, hopefully it's not in the, you know, spending

irrationally and reactively and on autopilot kind of way

that Christmas is unfortunately becoming known for.

Hopefully it's the spending purposefully bit of what we aspire to. Hopefully you were saving

aspirationally all year long to be able to bless family and friends with gifts that are meaningful.

You know, we, it's fun to give gifts.

It's, it's, you have to think about the person.
