Hello, Winebbers my name is Jesse Meekum and this podcast does not have a number, but

welcome to Wineab where we teach you four rules to help you stop even paycheck to

pay check, get out of debt and

save more money.

This podcast does not have a number because it's a bit of a special podcast.

I'm inserting it into the regularly recorded program to just wish everyone a happy

Thanksgiving if you celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States but

only really to remind you to perhaps do an exercise with me and that is to get out a piece of paper not your phone

Get out a pen not your stylusus. Do people use styli still? I don't know. And just start making a crazy

long list of everything you're grateful for. I've found, as I've grown anxious for financial goals to be reached in my own personal life,

that many times that would be, it would start to make me feel a little bit of discontent and not the kind that moves you

to action or the kind that's healthy, you know, just a little bit of discontent, but some that

would actually kind of eat at me a little bit where I wasn't content with the rate with which we were

accomplishing this or that financial goal and every once in a while you just have to

kind of reset and one way to do that is just to write down everything you're grateful for everything you have.

And I do that every year at this time and it takes me, I don't know, 20, 20 30 minutes but it is kind of a nice recalibration and I

encourage you to do the same if you're budgeting and you're frustrated you

feeling some discontent because you just can't put as much

money toward X as you'd like or something just happened to the water heater and now you need

to pay money for that instead of putting money toward this other thing that you were excitedly funding.

That's a good time to just break out that list and add a few more things to it and maybe review it.

A lot of the time when we're really getting into the budget... add a few more things to it and maybe review it.
