Hello, my name is Jesse Meekam with another episode of the Jesse Meekam show, and I am here each week, to obsess out loud about spending, purposefully saving aspirationally aspirationally and giving joyfully at all come down to just giving every dollar a job.

I want to simplify, uncomplicate, streamline your finances for you.

Today I want to dive appropriately deep for what will be a short podcast episode into our five questions that radically

transform how you think about not just how you think about money but actually the doing of the money

the figuring out of exactly how do you spend what you have can you afford this and those questions are uh they're pretty

awful they're pretty stress inducing they're uh they're rough and these five questions will help

you navigate all of that with ease it will give you a clarity that you can't believe you ever

lived without once you have it.

So the first question, we call it the reality question, and it is pretty simple, except

don't let it confuse you in its profundity.

I'll say that way.

Don't, don't miss it.

Don't miss out on how profound this can be.

The question, what does this money need to do before I'm paid again? Now, the operative thing here is this money, this money that

you have on hand, this finite pile. You never want to ask this question where what will I do

with money that I'm going to get. You don't have that money yet, so you can't ask yourself this question.

This question is purely about getting your arms and hands around that big or small

pile of money that is finite and scarce and fixed and say, what should this money do

before I'm paid again?

When it's scarce and finite and fixed,

you start to feel trade-offs.

You start to fill the clarity.
