Hello, Wine Embers. My name is Jesse Meakum with another episode of Wine Em Podcast, where

0:08.6

we teach you four rules to help you stop in the paycheck to paycheck. You can get out

0:11.2

of debt and save more money. Today, I want to give you one, this is going to be the shortest

0:18.2

episode ever, which will be saying something because we've had some brief episodes.

0:23.9

One of the best indicators of whether or not you are doing money right is if you feel guilty

0:32.1

or not when you spend the money. And I don't mean guilty in the moment. Plenty of us can

add a little more friction to the purchasing. Better yet, get in front of it. Build into your routine

1:55.6

into your morning routine, like, you know, I pop my multivitamin, I do the gummies, don't make fun,

2:02.0

they make adult gummies, and that's the best way to do a multivitamin. Everybody knows that. It's

2:08.1

a delicious gummy. You only get two, unfortunately, and it says adult right on the front, okay?
