She's a rescue dog and she's been 44 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 2: through it. Okay, it was the fight of the century, 45 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 2: I have to say to get this dog. But I 46 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: wanted it. I've been asking for her for years and 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: I won. 48 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: Oh well, she looks so cy I saw it on 49 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: IG I was like, oh, look at Mollie. Do you 50 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: know what kind of mix she is? 51 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: Or yeah, she's It was such a funny story because 52 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: my friend she's a lab mixed with probably a Boston Terrier. 53 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: We think she's like a miniature Labrador. She's small, she's perfect, 54 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: I say it. She's like snuggling up and wanting food. Yeah. So, 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up with dogs, so I always 56 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: wanted a dog. My husband did not and didn't understand 57 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: why I was so obsessed with it. But I'm like, 58 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: you get a house, I get a dog. 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: You are super suburban. 60 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 2: Now, well, my friend Laura was fostering the dog in 61 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: Manhattan through this rescue in Brooklyn called Muddy Pause, and 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: she just posted a picture on Instagram and I just 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 2: looked at her and I said, I want that dog. 64 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 2: That's my dog. But then the universe said, no, no, 65 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 2: it's not, because there was like ten people in line 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: in front of me with appointments to meet this dog. 67 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: Because in Manhattan, of course, it's like any great real 68 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: estate dog. Real estate's also really hard to come by. Really, yes, 69 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: So you're like to find a dog who has a 70 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: good temperament, you know, good with kids, good with people, 71 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: really sweet you know, it's hard because you know a 72 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: lot of what's in shelters, are you know, the less 73 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: desirable dogs, you know, sad sad to say, but senior dogs, 74 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: dogs who have bad reputations, you know, whether they're earned 75 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: or not. So when I saw you know, the dog anyway, 76 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 2: I got my hopes up, and then they were dashed 77 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: because I had all these people in front of me. 78 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: And then they even told me to come out to 79 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: like Union Square where they have that they roll out 80 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: this truck with the dogs in it and you can 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: come and see the dogs and maybe take one. And 82 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: I went out in a limb and I showed up 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: at that event and I waited, like in the freezing 84 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: cold for an hour and a half for her. And 85 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: this little volunteer said, oh, I'm so sorry, she was 86 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: just adopted. And yeah, and I have my husband drive 87 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: all the way down to come meet her, and he has, 88 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: you know, finally, you know, agreed to get a dog. 89 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: And he came down and we had to turn right 90 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: back around and go home. But twenty minutes into the ride, 91 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: I got a call from my friend and she said, 92 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: the people who just adopted her changed their minds. Can 93 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: you come back and yes, I know, it's like it's 94 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: a really good rom com except for except for it's 95 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: a dog. 96 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 97 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: So I went back and then I it was a 98 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: lot of these adoption agencies, man, they really like they're 99 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: just I don't know, I guess it's all in good intent, 100 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: how you know, weirdly rigid they are. But I filled 101 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: out the application, got my little interview done, and she 102 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: was mine went home with her like that night. 103 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: Oh Molly, Yeah I didn't.

You know. 105 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Immigrant families typically are not big on pets, even my cat. 106 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: My dad's like, so she's gonna sleep in the garage, right, 107 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm like in the winter in New Jersey.

You're not walking this dog. So 113 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: you can get a cat or fish. 114 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: She'll get a dog. She's the best. She's so sweet 115 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: and she's so comforting and cute, and it just distracts 116 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: you from everything that's going It might have gone wrong 117 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: on your day, you just can't think about it because 118 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: you have to come home and walk the dog and 119 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: cuddle the dog and fill her toy with peanut butter. 120 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: And you know, is she what does her poop look like? 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: That's what I concerned myself with. 122 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: A yeah, well, moll, we hope to meet you one day. 123 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Well, well, you know, she'll be an Instagram celebrity soon. 124 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: Check her out on the gram. Back to the Oscars, though, 125 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: because there were some moments that happened, so Spike Lee 126 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: finally wedding, Spike Lee winning, jumping into Samuel L. Jackson's arms, 127 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: which was like really adorable and beautiful, but then apparently 128 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: he like threatened to he almost walked out of the 129 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: theater when Green Book won Best Picture. I don't think 130 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: it was televised, butther than I read about it, So 131 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 2: I haven't seen the movie almost because I'm just already 132 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: annoyed at all the controversy, Like every movie is like, 133 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 2: you know, whatever it handles race isn't handling it the 134 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 2: right way according to everybody. 135 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: Well, I guess the problem with Green Book is that 136 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: so so for those who don't know that literally, like 137 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: aside from the movie, the Green Book was literally this 138 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: book that worked that was for black motorists that were 139 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: traveling around the United States of safe places that you 140 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: could go and eat and sleep and go because it 141 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: was really dangerous to travel. I mean it's dangerous now, 142 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: but even more so in like the fifties and sixties, 143 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: and so they created this book to say it's safe 144 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: to eat here, it's safe to park here, it's safe 145 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: to sleep here. So that's what the Green Book was. 146 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: And from what I understand from the clips that I've 147 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: seen about The Green Book the movie, it is very 148 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: much the white Savior syndrome. Remember remember the Last Samurai. 149 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: Did you ever see that with Tom Cruise Cruise? Yeah, 150 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: sot great movie. I was like, Oh, this is great 151 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: until you realize, like, oh, so Tom Cruise, the white 152 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: guy is the last Samurai that saves all these poor 153 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: Japanese people who cannot possibly defend themselves. I get it. 154 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: And so Green Book feels very much like that that. 155 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Instead of making it about this historic book that really 156 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: helped motorists of color to be able to experience travel 157 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: in the United States, it was more so about Vigo 158 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Morgansen I think his name is being the white Savior. 159 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Tomherschela Ali and it's like here we go, you know that, go ahead. 160 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: It's just funny you bring that up, because like in 161 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: the acceptance speech, all it was all white guys speaking, 162 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: and they even like made Vigo the white savior of 163 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: the movie. Like without Vigo, this movie wouldn't have gotten made, like, 164 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: and I hadn't seen it, so I just don't know 165 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: how to feel. But the optics of like the white director, 166 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: the white whoever they were, you know, being the ones 167 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: accepting the award and speaking on it did make me 168 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: feel a certain kind of way because. 169 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: You're writing about a historic black experience without anyone on 170 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: stage being from that culture to be able to say, well, actually, you. 171 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: Know what I mean. Octavia Maherschel has seemed to stand 172 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: by it, though. 173 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm not, like I said 174 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: to be all, I have not watched the movie, so 175 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: I can't even say it's terrible. This is just from 176 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: like the feedback that I've seen from people who have 177 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: watched it, especially there's a lot of feedback for people 178 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: who are in the travel industry, where you know, like 179 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: this is what they do, this is what they study, 180 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: and their disappointment with the way Green Book was portrayed 181 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: and written. 182 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: I see, well, at least this year you can at 183 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 2: least at least this year. It wasn't like Green Book 184 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: was the only film with the cast with people of color, 185 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: like there was so there was so much to comfort 186 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: ourselves with, like Black Panther, Ruth E. Carter, the Cost 187 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: of Fire winning, Oh my god, I know I'm blinking 188 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: on everything else that happened. Mahrscha Ali, Okay, he did 189 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: win for for a green Book. I know, black Pantsina King, yep, 190 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: of course, Regina King, Black Panther. But even like the presenters, 191 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: it felt like the Oscars freshened, even just who was 192 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: Like they had Queen Latifa what if she introduced now 193 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: I forget that part. I think she introduced the favorite, 194 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: But Queen Latifa was there as a presenter. She had 195 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 2: Jennifer Lopez as a presenter, Constance Wu who was big 196 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: with like crazy Rita. 197 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: I love that movie. And then Who's Who's a young man? 198 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I always forget his name? The one who who played 199 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury and Bohemian Rhapsody. 200 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: Oh, mister big eyes Robby Aleck, he's creepy look and 201 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: come on, yeh. 202 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: But honestly, but like I was, I was on a 203 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: flight it's back in California, and I Watchedhomian Rhapsody. It 204 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: was really I mean, I get it. A lot of 205 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: people were like, they really glossed over the the queer 206 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: part of of Freddie Mercury and made it very, very PG. 207 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean, all that set aside, like you know, I 208 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: guess it's the same thing. How I could see how 209 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: the queer audience would feel about that, the way you know, 210 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: black audiences would feel about Green Book. But to me, 211 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: his portrayal of Freddy mrcury was so amazing. Like they 212 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: actually have these videos where they have side by side, 213 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: like you know of Live Aid, where you see Ronnie 214 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: performing and you see Freddie Mercury and you're like, wow, 215 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: it's uncanny how he mimicked his his movements and the 216 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: way he just showed up on saying he was Honestly, 217 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 1: he was really good. Even if people have an issue 218 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: with the movie. 219 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: I liked. I mean, the movie was fine. I fell 220 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: asleep pathway through, like I did with all the mopiics. 221 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: But that's just because the fun stuffs at the beginning 222 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: and at the end. But no, I mean I thought 223 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: he was really good, but I just wouldn't want to 224 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: run into him. And then the alley that's dark with 225 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: those big guys. 226 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's so crazy. Freddie Mercury was like my 227 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: introduction into LGBT because I remember I was like in 228 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: high school. Maybe I was in middle school when you know. 229 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: I think when he Freddie Murcury died and it was 230 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: of age and I knew, you know, I knew where 231 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: age was. And then then making this big I think 232 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: it was like an MTV news then making the big 233 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: thing that he was gay.

He's like, no, I have a feeling that 334 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: he's going to use his Veto card to break my heart. 335 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: It's going to be something that I really want. 336 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: Oh man, don't mess around with tile and backsplash. That's 337 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: very you need to win on those. 338 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: No, that one thing for so oddly enough we are 339 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: on the same page with tile. I cannot believe like 340 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: we brought all the tile for the house and we 341 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: have not. It's not been any pushback. It's like, oh 342 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: I love that me too. So you know, he's really 343 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: modern his aesthetic and I'm more traditional. But there are 344 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: places that we kind of meet in the middle. So 345 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: it hasn't been too too bad. But some stuff I'm 346 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: just like getting and not saying anything. It'll just show up. 347 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: Are you saying on budget though, let's get let's talk 348 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 2: about that. 349 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you know, you're just like, you know what, 350 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: at this point, as long as we stay I'm not 351 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: as a stickler as I was where I mean, we're 352 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: not as bad, you know, I will say that as 353 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: far as the actual renovation itself, that is staying fairly 354 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: on budget. I mean, like, we're definitely gonna use our 355 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: what is that thing called like when you have like 356 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: the over edge or whatever, yeah's contingency. We're definitely gonna 357 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: use our contingency because there were just some things and 358 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: it's not because of like style things. It's like, oh, 359 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, like we didn't know that pipe burst that 360 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: kind of thing, so we'll be under we'll be in 361 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: budget with the contingency. But now it's more so like 362 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: the stuff that we want that I'm like, oh, I 363 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: don't know, We're gonna stay on budget with the stuff 364 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: that we want, so, yeah, we'll see. 365 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: The furnishings is where we got because everything's so pretty. Yeah, 366 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: and once you see the way that your curtainslick when 367 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: you buy curtain rings, I cannot tell you. I'm like 368 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: curtain rings for every window. If those things are like 369 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: twenty five bucks a box, but they make everything look 370 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: so much better and the good quality stuff. I mean, 371 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: I just the justification in my head was it's not 372 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 2: about putting money into the house to get return on 373 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: investment anymore, because that's not something that makes sense or 374 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: is logical. You can't bank on making money back on 375 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: your house. For me, it was about investing in personal 376 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: happiness so that when I came home it was a 377 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: good place, a nice place to be. So that is 378 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 2: and then that that was how I wound up going 379 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: over budget for the furnishings were not too too over budget, 380 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: And looking back now, I don't know you should do 381 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: the same thing. But looking back now, if there is 382 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: one thing I think I regret spending money on, I 383 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: would say, what can I even say? Can I say 384 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 2: the hvac? Really? My husband would be like, you're an idiot, 385 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: because that was a really good investment, But I haven't. 386 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 2: It hasn't been long enough to reap the rewards of 387 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 2: that yet. Right now. It's just like we swapped out 388 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: the oil for pro pain and I get a five 389 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: hundred dollars pro pain bill once a month now, and 390 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 2: I'm like, what in the holy hell? So maybe a 391 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: better way to do this is like regret. I do 392 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: regret how expensive the propane bill has been. But what 393 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 2: maybe what I regret regret is that we did not 394 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: spend the money to have our living room properly insulated. Okay, yeah, 395 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: because what's happening is that we're having to crank the 396 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: heat to keep the living room warm when our bedroom 397 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: is roasting because it was properly insulated. Because everything that 398 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: like knew that we got done, the contractor did insulate properly. 399 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: But the existing living room we didn't think and he 400 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: didn't think to bring it up and no one else did. 401 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: And so it's going to cost us like a couple 402 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: thousand dollars to get blow in insulation. 403 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: Yeah we did. 404 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's smart because my husband we did buy 405 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 2: like extra insulation from home depot and then my husband 406 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: installed it under the like in the crawl space in 407 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: the kitchen, but he couldn't do what he couldn't do, 408 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 2: So where he put insulation, it's already made a difference. 409 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 2: But unfortunately our living room is still like an ice box. 410 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: And that's a very roundabout way of saying. Insulation is 411 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 2: where the real money, say starts, So spend the money 412 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: on insulation if you can. 413 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: And so that's one of the things that it took us. 414 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: So because the house was built in nineteen twenty, they 415 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: were like, what's installation? 416 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: So hold, yeah, like what did they do? My god, 417 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: freezing my ass off over here? 418 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: And so thank for you for reminding about the crows 419 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: because we do have a cross space. Oh, I'm gonna 420 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: say cross space. I'm actually like texting my contractor right 421 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: now because I'm like, ah, I forgot, Like. 422 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,959 Speaker 2: When he based the attic, he did, Yeah, that's how 423 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: I found those sexy books that are former house owners 424 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: left in the left under the house. Oh my god, 425 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: yeah he was. He went under. It's like it's the 426 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 2: cross space under the kitchen and he just stuck the yep. 427 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. And so that's one of the things that like 428 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: our contractor Justin told us. He was like, you know, 429 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: like the house because there's some things that he's doing, 430 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: like you know, we're doing the bathroom, so of course 431 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: he's putting installation, like you said, in those places. But 432 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: he was like, I really suggest because you could feel 433 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: that the house was drafty because you know, it's an 434 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: older house and there's a lot of the original features. 435 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: So we paid it was four thousand dollars. 436 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: Well that's what I'm paying in eight months of the 437 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 2: dam program bill. 438 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: So and honestly that's why I said, I was like, 439 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: you know what, Tiffany, You'll make this back in the year. 440 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: Like because when we first got in the house and 441 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: the heat was on, like we were like, you know, 442 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: because you know, of course we do walk through whatever 443 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: and it would be chilly. And now when I go in, Mandy, 444 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: it's like and we don't even have all of the 445 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: all of the radiators like plugged up. It's only two 446 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: of them in the house right now that are that 447 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: are on, and the house feels warm, and I'm like, 448 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: you know what, that's if there's anything, it's the best 449 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars I've ever spent. Now, I am because 450 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: my husband did not want the HVAC system. I'm just 451 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: pray because it was not it was not cheap. I'm 452 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: just praying that it worked, like it's worth it because 453 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: it was really expensive, and I'm like, yikes, I hope 454 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: that we didn't spend all this money and we don't 455 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: really need h back like that, so we'll see. 456 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 2: Well, it'll be worth it if your insulation's right, because 457 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: then you won't have to use it. But then I'm like, 458 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: then why did we get it? Like yeah, anyway, live 459 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: and learn. We're gonna get that blow in insulation, which 460 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: is what you can do if you you don't want 461 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: to take all your walls down. You can just they 462 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: poke little holes in the outside of the house and 463 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: blow it in. 464 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you put it like on the exterior walls, and 465 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: so it's like it's weird to see like all the 466 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: holes like popo po po po. But yeah, it's it 467 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference, just to make sure that whoever 468 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: does it for you that you really like pack it in, 469 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: pack it in, you. 470 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 2: Know, because this has been a really cold It hasn't 471 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: been a snowy winter, but it's been pretty cold the 472 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: past couple of months.

When you get an 530 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: online bank, you're banking with the institution that doesn't need 531 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 2: to spend a lot of money on people and like 532 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: locations like light bills and electricity for brick and mortar locations, 533 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 2: so they're able to actually pass all that savings onto customers, 534 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 2: and they typically have, typically not always have higher rates 535 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 2: on their savings accounts, which is great if you're looking 536 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: to save with your fiance for your wedding or for 537 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: your future house. They also offer higher rates a lot 538 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: time a lot of times on CDs, and because they're 539 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: online only, they kind of have to have an awesome 540 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: website and an awesome app, otherwise people wouldn't bank with them. 541 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: What they don't always have is a lot of ATM locations, 542 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: but some banks make up for in a couple of ways. 543 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: Either they tap into all Point like these all Point 544 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: is one of the ATM networks that's like thirty thousand ATMs. 545 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: They're like the ones you see at drug stores and 546 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: sometimes bodegas or convenience stores, and they'll tap into that 547 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: network and say as long as you use one of 548 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: these all point ATMs, then there's no fee. And otherwise 549 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 2: they may offer to reimburse you. If you do use 550 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: an ATM and you get charged that like two dollars 551 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: three dollars fee, they may offer to reimburse you, you know, 552 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: fifteen dollars a month or ten dollars a month to 553 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: take that staying out of it. So I'd recommend an 554 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 2: online bank. And there's actually, you know, I used to 555 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 2: have a favorite.

We'll go with that. So 605 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 2: Gertrude says, I got to meet Tiffany once at a 606 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: mass women's conference. Not sure if she remembers, but I 607 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: took some photos of her while she was presenting and 608 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: sent them to her. Hatis, Hey, I do remember, Gertrude. 609 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: You remember Gertrude? 610 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: Well, I don't. Well, I remember, like you know, the conference, 611 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: and I remember that there was someone who like I 612 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: always picked, like my one buddy in the audience. I'm like, ooh, 613 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: can you take pictures of me on stage and send 614 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: it to me so I remember that. Yeah, pay Gertrude. 615 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 2: Very clever outsourcing photography. So here's Gertrude's question. Let's get 616 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: to get to the business here. Gertrude says, my boyfriend 617 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: and I are paying off a large amount of debt 618 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 2: in the next two years. The episode where you had 619 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 2: the couple on that paid a ton of debt really 620 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 2: inspired us to get our butts into gear this year. 621 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one. Faith in Leo. I think 622 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: we aired that last June. Go check it out. It's 623 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: a great show. She says. We are planning on getting 624 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: married and we want to get our finances together before 625 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 2: we do. Here's what we need help deciding. His credit 626 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: history is not that long. He opened a credit card 627 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: three years ago and his credit history in total is 628 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: six years old. My boyfriend only has two credit cards 629 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: in total, and his current utilization rate is eighty eight percent. 630 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: We know, yikes, we are paying on all that credit card. 631 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,239 Speaker 2: We are paying on that credit card with all that 632 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: debt as we speak, though, the problem is that his 633 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 2: first credit card, which he doesn't use charges him eight 634 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: dollars a month, and it's a crappy card, not like 635 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 2: a card where you get rewards. I know it doesn't 636 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 2: seem like a lot, but that's ninety six dollars a 637 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: year for a credit card. Do you think he should 638 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: close that card or will it hurt his credit credit 639 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 2: score too much? I know you said not to worry 640 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 2: too much about credit scores unless you're buying a home soon, 641 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: but we found ourselves in situations recently, like leasing a 642 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: car where a credit score does matter. 643 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: Gertrude Girl. First of all, yay, getting getting boo together. 644 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: That's what I did. You know, me and manager both 645 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: did that with our booths ahead of time. You know 646 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: some such you know, build that husband. But so for Superman, 647 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: he too didn't have a long credit history. He too 648 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: had a utilization that was like I think his was 649 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: like ninety percent. And so sometimes you have to decide 650 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: when are you going to take the l You want 651 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: to take it now, you want to take it later. 652 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: It's typically better to take it now, meaning pay off 653 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: that card and get rid of it, because you know, 654 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: you the thing is your credit score. You have to 655 00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: think about it as your GPA. It is an average 656 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: of your financial financial choices as it relates to credit. 657 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: But really they really take into consideration really the last 658 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: two years, you know. So if you're thinking you're gonna 659 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: get married in like two years, that means you have 660 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: two years to rebuild whatever that dropping credit might be 661 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: by losing that card, and then that's ninety six dollars 662 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: times two years that you can pocket. So I would 663 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: get rid of that card.

So I was really clear, 828 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 1: but I used just an Excel spreadsheet. And now that 829 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing better, I am less constrained in that I 830 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: don't particularly like I live more by percentages. So I save, 831 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: I would say, probably because we live off of mostly 832 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: Superman's income, and then I give my parents money every month, 833 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: so that doesn't come from our joint income that comes 834 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: from mine. So I venture to say, I say probably 835 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: upwards of eighty to ninety percent of what I make 836 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: because we live off his income and then we save 837 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 1: and invest mine. But still from that money, I still 838 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: take take out money, you know, to send to my parents. 839 00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: And then I have like allowance that I give myself. 840 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: So the percentage that I set aside for myself, I 841 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: live off the percentages versus like, okay, this amount for groceries, 842 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,720 Speaker 1: this amount. It's almost like here's your lump sum, Tiffany. 843 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: Make it work for the month, you know. And so 844 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: that's typically how I live now. I'm not as I'm 845 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,279 Speaker 1: not as detailed because I'm like, okay, this is you know, 846 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: I might give myself like to be all the way transparent, 847 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Superman and I like, aside from the renovation, 848 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,280 Speaker 1: we live fairly simply, I want to say, our whole 849 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: like the way we live now, we don't have a car, 850 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,719 Speaker 1: two cars. We don't have any cardinal. Our apartment is 851 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: super cheap because he's a super so we we we 852 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: live where he works. So we paid nine to sixty 853 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: a month in rent for two bed and when I 854 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,839 Speaker 1: have that, and then like I don't know, our other 855 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: bills are really really low. So we we're under I 856 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: want to say, under thirty five hundred bucks a month. 857 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 1: We're probably we're closer to really three thousand dollars a 858 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: month for our total like life, you know, like including 859 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: groceries and stuff like that. So as a result, you know, 860 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't really have to nickel and diamond. I'm like, 861 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: all right, boom, I just know Superman is going to 862 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: transfer his three thousand dollars to fifteen hundred every paycheck, 863 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: and you know we'll give it ourselves, our allowances and 864 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: we'll make that work. And so I say, it depends 865 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: on where you are financially, but for me, an Excel 866 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 1: spread chief theth and now it's just a percentage that 867 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:57,919 Speaker 1: I give myself. And it's like, well, when this money 868 00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,919 Speaker 1: is done, sifty, so are. 869 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 2: You I need to see that spreadsheet? Let me let 870 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 2: me see that spreadsheet. 871 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, what that's what it separates the real fan fake 872 00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: what man it? I used to be what I would 873 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 1: make any any accountant proud. Before the spreadsheet, I had 874 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: a notebook. I was such my father's daughter because my 875 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 1: dad is retired now, but he was an accountant and 876 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: he was using He still uses a yellow Ledger notebook 877 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: and like with the lines like I that's how I 878 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: used to do my budget. I was very particular. And 879 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: then my sister was like, so it's the two thousands 880 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: computers that exist. There's something called Excel. I want you 881 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: to try it, And so I did so I switched 882 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: to Excel, and so I still see remnants of it, 883 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: but I have not used. Like I said, it's probably 884 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: been about three years since I've lived on that tight, 885 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: tight kind of like budget like that. I'm just more so, 886 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: here's your alum sum tipany make it work? 887 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,319 Speaker 2: Well, I'm about to get back on it because I 888 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 2: really do feel like I just don't it just I'm 889 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 2: it just doesn't make me feel good the way that 890 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 2: we're spending money sometimes, like I just and it's a 891 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: blessing to like, I just feel like we aren't we worrying, 892 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 2: We should be worrying more.

I'm already an expert in their bowel 930 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 2: movements and they're in different breeds and their behavioral patterns. 931 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 2: But the first thing we did after we got this dog, 932 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,319 Speaker 2: because we were not prepared, and anyone who's thinking of 933 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 2: getting a dog, listen, do not get do what I 934 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 2: do and go to the adoption event, get the dog, 935 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: and then like on the way home, we were like, 936 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 2: oh shit, we don't have anything. So we had to 937 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,399 Speaker 2: go directly to the pet store and they were super 938 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 2: nice there, and everything seemed reasonably priced, and we somehow 939 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 2: walked out of there with just the bare essentials and 940 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,399 Speaker 2: we spent three hundred and ninety six dollars three hey 941 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 2: hundred and ninety six dollars, and I was like, say what, 942 00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 2: Plus the adoption fee was four hundred and fifty dollars, 943 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 2: So I almost spent one thousand dollars in one day 944 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 2: on this damn doll I mean. 945 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: I love oh Holley girl, you pridey. 946 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 2: I know, but she's potty trained, so I think the 947 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 2: money was worth it. But anyway, here's what I did. 948 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 2: So the next day I had buyer's remorse and I 949 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,000 Speaker 2: ended up going on Amazon for the things that we purchased, 950 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 2: like the crate and the bedding for the crate, and 951 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,480 Speaker 2: even the collar that we bought. I found everything, like 952 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 2: I can't even tell you. The crate was one hundred 953 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 2: and nineteen dollars in the store and it was like 954 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 2: fifty dollars max on Amazon. The bed that we bought, 955 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 2: like the thing that the dog sleeps in and gets 956 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 2: poop on, and like whatever else was eighty dollars in 957 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,399 Speaker 2: the store, not even kidding you it was. I got 958 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 2: one on Amazon for twenty five dollars. A lot of 959 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 2: money difference, Yes, So we returned most of what we got, 960 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 2: the big stuff that we got back to the store 961 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 2: and kept, you know, like the little things like toys 962 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 2: and dog food and stuff. And I was like, never again, 963 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,719 Speaker 2: will they catch me like that? Never again? So I 964 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,320 Speaker 2: probably ended up getting back like, you know, a couple 965 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,400 Speaker 2: hundred dollars just from that. So I learned my lesson. 966 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,840 Speaker 2: Don't do what I did, be prepared and if not Amazon, 967 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,399 Speaker 2: just at least shop around to compare prices before you 968 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 2: let your emotions take you out of control with your 969 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 2: with your little puppy. 970 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 1: Oh wow, Molly seems like she's totally worth it. And yeah, 971 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: she's gonna eat all them coins, honey. 972 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,279 Speaker 2: They don't think good practice for a kid when they 973 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 2: just suck you dry, right. 974 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So I had a booth yesterday. Was really awesome. 975 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: It's rare that like something happens and I'm like, uh, 976 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm a little chatty and a loss 977 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,799 Speaker 1: for word. So so you guys know, I helped to 978 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: write this bill that was then signed into law with 979 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: a friend of mine, Angela Vie McKnight. She's an assembly 980 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,319 Speaker 1: woman in Jersey City. So a few weeks ago she 981 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: was like, hey, what are you doing on the twenty fifth. 982 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,840 Speaker 1: I was like, She's like, I want to you for 983 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: your work as a bunch ofista and as an entrepreneur 984 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,080 Speaker 1: in the state of New Jersey. And I said okay. 985 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,760 Speaker 1: She was like, you know, it's gonna be in Trenton. 986 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 1: I was like, Trenton, that's like an hour and so 987 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: drive from Newark. And something said this is the kind 988 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: of thing you should invite your parents to. Because I 989 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 1: really didn't have any intention of like I thought, I 990 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:19,959 Speaker 1: was just gonna go, you know, get my little paper 991 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,919 Speaker 1: and come home. No, it ended up being this big deal. 992 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,320 Speaker 1: So you know how like you watch like the Senate 993 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 1: proceedings whatever, like on TV. So the state of New Jersey, 994 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if every state has kind 995 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: of like this assembly floor, but it was so beautiful 996 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 1: and historic and gorgeous, so at the State House. So 997 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: Trenton is the Capital of New Jersey. I'm pretty sure 998 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,320 Speaker 1: it is so at the State House because it was 999 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: Black History Month, the the the Black Caucus she had, 1000 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 1: it's the Black Legislative Caucus of New Jersey. She they 1001 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: honored me right there on the Assembly floor. And the 1002 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,400 Speaker 1: assembly floor looks like when you watch on TV and 1003 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,479 Speaker 1: they're like, you know, Madam Speaker, and so it looked 1004 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 1: so fancy. And so my parents came. They got to 1005 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 1: come on the floor with me as they talked about 1006 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 1: all the good works I've done as the budgetista and 1007 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, and I got to speak to the 1008 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 1: whole assembly. But they were you know during the Assembly, 1009 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: you know, they vote on things. This is where laws 1010 00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 1: are written and created and shot down. And it was 1011 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,920 Speaker 1: just it just felt the magnitude of that day was 1012 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,120 Speaker 1: just bigger than I could really just even articulate or 1013 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: even just feel. And so they have my parents there 1014 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 1: with me. It was awesome. And so the pictures look 1015 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: amazing just because the place it's so beautiful and historic. 1016 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: So you can like look at my ig the Budgetnista 1017 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 1: for some of the pictures. And it was just honestly 1018 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,439 Speaker 1: a really awesome day, and it was just so nice 1019 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,240 Speaker 1: to share with my parents because to me all the way, honest, 1020 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,920 Speaker 1: I was a little bit of a handful as a 1021 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:02,319 Speaker 1: kid up until college. So my parents, you know, they 1022 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,400 Speaker 1: went through a lot trying to wrangle Tiffany. And so 1023 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: this is for all the handfuls and that the things 1024 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: that sometimes make you a handfuls are also what makes 1025 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: you awesome and that you know, just you know, lean 1026 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 1: into your what makes you different and you know, maximize 1027 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,200 Speaker 1: it to make the best life for yourself. And it's just, 1028 00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, it was crazy because I brought my videographer, Jermaine, 1029 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: and I said, you know, something said you know, bring him, 1030 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,719 Speaker 1: And I'm so glad because I saw Jermaine asking my 1031 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,160 Speaker 1: dad in the corner on video, you know, what do 1032 00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:34,759 Speaker 1: you think about today? He's like, you know, I'm so 1033 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,759 Speaker 1: proud of Tiffany. And if you have immigrant parents, the 1034 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: word proud doesn't come out of their mouth very often. 1035 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm so proud of Tiffany and all 1036 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,040 Speaker 1: he said something that made me want to cry. He 1037 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 1: was like, you know, I have high expectations for all 1038 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:50,959 Speaker 1: my children, Tiffany included. But to be honest, Tiffany has, 1039 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: she has, she has exceeded any expectation I could have 1040 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 1: ever even like imagined for her, and my dad has 1041 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: It's not one He's not mushy dad. He's not a 1042 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: you get a participation a ward dad, He's a oh 1043 00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,359 Speaker 1: you got a ninety six, where's the other four points? 1044 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 1: Don't get geeked like? That's my dad, you know, Like 1045 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 1: he is never satisfied. He always says you could do better. 1046 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: He always says you could be better. He's always pushing 1047 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 1: you to the next level. So for him to say 1048 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: that I've exceeded expectations, it's not because it's expectations are low. 1049 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he has the highest expectations that you know, 1050 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,000 Speaker 1: even more so than for myself. And so that was 1051 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,280 Speaker 1: just a magical moment. And so that is my brown booze. 1052 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 1: It was just a magical moment. I want to just 1053 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 1: thank Angela. She's such an awesome, amazing woman.

It's called the resolution. 1062 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,360 Speaker 1: It's like an official citation that then gets filed away 1063 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,240 Speaker 1: and like official document status at the state House and 1064 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and they give you like a in 1065 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,479 Speaker 1: a picture frame for you to take home.
