Hello, my name is Jesse Meekam with another episode of the Jesse Meekam show, and I'm here each week to obsess out loud about spending purposefully, aspirationally, joyfully.

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

That is the principle we teach, and that is the principle around which I have built a little

tiny piece of software, which I sometimes forget to mention on this show.

It is called Wynab.

Go to whinab.com slash jesse to find out more about it.

But today I want to kind of, again, not really talk about the app.

I want to talk about exploring, exploring you through the lens of your money.

Now, spendfulness, achieving that, that place of more margin, virtually no second guessing, is where you want to be.

But it's an exploration to get there.

And over the years, I don't know why, this started with the podcast where I would think out loud.

And I would just experiment and it would always teach me something.

And so I wanted to kind of rehash some of the experiments that I've done over the years and give that to you as experiment fodder.

Also ask you, if you wouldn't mind, maybe comment and give me some ideas for experiments that I might try in the future.

This year, I want to just move to mostly cash and literally just carry around wads of cash.

But look what's happened.

I am yet to actually make it happen by going to the ATM and pulling out said cash and, you know, giving some to Julie and being like, hey, Julie, here's our

experiment for the year. She's very used to these experiments. So that might be a signal on,

you know, in and of itself that getting that cash out is a bit of a blocker. Anyway, that was

one I was going to run for 2025 and I'm yet to start and here we are you know not we're into it quite a bit

so i don't even know if i could call it a 2025 experiment just yet um the first experiment i

ever did was simply rating every time we ate out and i would record it in ynab and in the memo
