Moms, we know you're juggling so many different things- Mm-hmm ... so much going on in your work life, kids, all the things. Your budget does not need to be another thing that you're juggling, another headache. So we got some things for you today.
Vanessa· Host0:11
Yeah, absolutely. And if you're tired of feeling like your money just disappears every month- We're the same. [laughs] We- that's what we hear. And we've got some simple shortcuts for you to help you really budget practically and automatically.
Shana· Host0:22
Exactly.
Vanessa· Host0:22
We're really excited about that.
Shana· Host0:23
Mm-hmm.
Vanessa· Host0:23
Because we want you to know where your money is going.
Shana· Host0:25
Yeah, no.
Vanessa· Host0:25

Shana· Host1:12
Yeah.
Vanessa· Host1:12
And we were at the volleyball court for 12 hours that next, that day.
Shana· Host1:15
Yeah. And then you went back for a little bit.
Vanessa· Host1:18
[laughs] For more on Sunday, and then- And then drove home ... six-hour drive home.
Shana· Host1:20
