I've seen a couple different writers and podcasters use this three numbers format a couple of

different times and I love it. I was like I want to do that. It

strikes me as potentially a super useful way to right-size finances for someone

who is either brand-new the money with k k kd show or maybe you're just a long time listener

And you might find yourselves a little lost in the sauce sometimes I know I am frequently lost in the sauce so maybe I'm the one that's

taking us there and getting us lost but you know I'm obviously someone who really

enjoys getting all up in those weeds,

and I have made a career out of doing so,

so I reserve the right to hyper fixate

on tiny things in future episodes

that may go unmentioned today.

Welcome back to the money with kitty show. Welcome back to the Money with Katie's Show, Rich People. I'm Katie Gaddy Tossan.

We got an email a couple weeks ago from a listener who said that while they have been listening for years,

sometimes they find themselves craving a push

to just return to the basics.

So that is what we are going to do today. Now in preparation for this episode we listen to a couple of other videos and episodes with the same format from

the Money Guys and Rameet Sati and I realized that while some of my numbers you

should know are similar my choices are actually slightly different.

Like I landed in a slightly different place from some of these other folks.

So all that to say, there is no correct list of numbers that you actually need to know right there's no one correct answer here

So if you've been using someone else's methodology, just consider this an augmentation if the spirit moves you.

I'm also thrilled because Brad Barrett, the host of the ChooseFI podcast, is joining me today to co-host.
