This is on point. I'm Megna Chuck Rabardi and even though Summer isn't officially

astronomically over until the autumnal equinox later this month, I mean for all

intents and purposes it's basically over, right?

For us, mere humans and our daily lives,

because by now we're all headed either back to school

or we've experienced the end of our vacations

at last hurrah over Labor Day weekend.

So even if you were able to take a bit of a break this summer and I truly hope you were,

reality is back. And it's expensive meaning this is the perfect and long

overdue time to have our money ladies back Rana Ferruhar and Michelle Singletary.

Hello there, ladies.

Hi, glad to be back.

Hey guys.

Now, just as a periodic reminder, because everyone's while I still

do get an email about, like, why do you call them the money ladies?

Several years ago we had Rana and Michelle on for the first time of their now regular appearances and there was a very sweet

listener who loved you guys so much. I couldn't remember your names when he just emailed me

and he said, have the money ladies back.

And thus, a moniker was born.

But first of all, before we dive into the challenges of the fall season I want to know how your

summers were Michelle how is your summer? My summer was great. I just celebrated a birthday and no I'm not telling y'all I am.

Happy birthday nevertheless.
