Hello again, beautiful, beautiful beings of light, and welcome back to another expand podcast episode

with yours truly Elizabeth April.

Today I want to talk all about money and specifically I want to talk about the nuances and the, I guess,

associations that we have with regards to money. I want to start off right away with a story.

So I ended up going into my local, small town home hardware, just a

kind of just like a home improvement shop, you know, in my little kind of blink and you

miss it town. And a couple weeks back, I purchased a couple of things, a couple of tools that my wife told me that we needed,

and I asked her to check the toolbox to make sure that we didn't have those tools, and she checked,

and she said that we didn't. So I bought the tools. Then, of course, I get home, and I check the toolbox,

and what do we have?

We have the damn tools.

So I end up going back to the home hardware and I say, hey, you know, I'm returning, you know, these two tools.

And in exchange, I want to purchase this pair of scissors that was like $599.

And the tools were like, I don't know, $30 or $40.

So upon doing the exchange, I get the money back and it's like $7.

And I didn't really think about it in that moment, because I had a lot on my mind. But when I got back home, I thought to

myself, hmm, that's a weird exchange amount. Like I would assume that it would be more like

$17 that I would get back rather than just seven. So I check out the receipt and to my dismay,

I realized that they ended up refunding me the amount of the ratchet, and then they

accidentally added it back into the refund, right? And so, you know, it's just really funny. So basically, they charged me for what I wanted to return,

and I ended up only returning the $16 item. So since I discovered that, which was three weeks ago,

I have had the receipt in my car, and I thought to myself, well, I'm going to go and get, you know, this money back.
