| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I hope you had a great holiday weekend and your week is off to a great start. |
| 0:04.6 | We're actually extending our holiday weekend by a few days because my son Sawyer, aka Soy Sauce, |
| 0:12.0 | he turns four tomorrow. |
| 0:13.6 | And instead of throwing a big birthday party and buying him a bunch of toys that he doesn't really need, |
| 0:19.0 | we decided instead to scoop up a hotel deal nearby |
| 0:22.2 | and create a fun experience for our family. And it's, of course, even more exciting of an |
| 0:27.5 | experience given that we've all been trapped at home for the better part of a year. So the boys are |
| 0:32.3 | extra excited for this little adventure that we have. By the time most of you are listening to this, |
| 0:37.8 | I'll be checking into a hotel with these two crazy monsters. |
| 0:41.0 | So wish me and my wife luck. |
| 0:42.9 | And let's hope that we're able to get some sleep. |
| 0:45.5 | While I'm out, I'm replaying an episode that I published in late 2019 for two main reasons. |
| 0:51.5 | One, the topic is still very, very relevant, maybe even more relevant today |

| 1:03.1 | based on the download numbers I'm seeing, didn't quite make it to all of our listeners' ears. |
| 1:08.7 | And even if you do remember listening, I highly recommend |
| 1:12.0 | giving it a second go. I just gave it a listen the other day again, and I caught some |
| 1:16.5 | interesting and helpful things that I forgot I had shared. So with that, I hope you enjoy this |
| 1:22.6 | episode on investing at market highs. And I'll see you back here next week for part two on robo advisors or what I'm now calling |
| 1:31.4 | Robo managers. |
| 1:33.3 | Hope you enjoy. |
| 1:37.9 | Welcome to the Stay Wealthy podcast. |
