- 1:30Speaker 1: she deserves like a boat or something like.
- 1:33Speaker 2: But you said, well, we've talked about some time off that.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yes, so I'm gonna Actually I'm actually traveling to Houston

- 1:41Speaker 1: real quick trip and I'm coming back Sunday morning. I

- 1:51Speaker 1: like maybe at least six hours away. I wish I
- 1:53Speaker 1: could do more time. Yeah, but yeah, give her some
- 1:55Speaker 1: time to chill and have a breather.

- 2:00Speaker 2: in the house.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Uh, yes, I mean when it comes to small things,
- 2:05Speaker 1: especially like if I want to buy a t shirt online.

- 2:32Speaker 3: to day stuff. They're also credited with being the ones
- 2:35Speaker 3: to teach us about saving money, living within your means,
- 2:39Speaker 3: recognizing wants versus needs, which I think you just started
- 2:43Speaker 3: with your kids recently, being generous giving two others budgeting
