Hello, my name is Jesse Meekam with another episode of the Jesse Meekam show, and I'm here each week

obsessing out loud about spending purposefully, saving aspirationally, and giving joyfully.

It all comes down to just giving every dollar a job.

But today, well, today I want to talk to you a little bit about a trip that Julie and I just went on.

And we were in Manhattan, a place we have grown to absolutely love.

We live there for a short while for about three months with the kids, and it was a wild ride.

And we went back just a little bit ago, and we were just kind of meandering around, which one can happily do in that phenomenal city.

And we walked into a clothing store and just start browsing around.

And I don't know if you all know this, but I love jackets.

I have a weakness for jackets and woodworking tools.

And if I see a tool, I come up with the project that would require that tool.

And if I see a jacket, I will come up with the reason why I need that jacket and I'll use

the word need incorrectly there anyway I saw one from a brand I really like and one where I know

it fits well and you can't have too many do I have that shade of blue that was really the question

that was on my mind, and I wanted it.

So what do you do?

What do you do when those chemicals are just flooding your system?

And it's just like, I want that thing.

And I'm using jackets because that's my thing.

And it's real.

It's a real one. I'm not making it up. I'm not just, it's not some cliche thing. It's real. I, I experience it when I see it online. When I'm looking that way, I experience it. If Instagram knows that I like jacket, it seems it knows. They seem to know that I like jackets. And I'm honestly just talking about it.

My phone probably heard this, and it knows.
