0:00.0	It's October 14, 2022, and you know that means that the holiday season is just around the corner
0:06.9	friends. Now, we know that this holiday season has the potential to bring even more than the
0:14.3	usual amount of stress because many, many of us in the awesome community right now are feeling
0:20.7	the very unawesome squeeze of the economy right now. We've got inflation. Lots of us are still
0:27.8	paying those higher tax bills that we owed. There's still things like shipping delays being an
0:34.0	issue. We know that many of our awesomes are starting to think about, how are we going to do
0:39.1	the holidays this year? Well, good news for all of us. I'm joined today by my dear friend
0:44.7	and a longtime co-host, Rebecca Hoffer, simply Rebekah.com. Rebecca, first of all, hello and how are
0:50.7	you? Hello, how good. Here we are talking about the holidays in early October. I know, I know. It's
1:00.9	unusual for both of us, but you actually had the idea for this conversation when an awesome reached
1:07.4	out to you on social media, right? Yes, this was by request. Yeah. Please do send us your requests

1:18.8	conversations. This was by request from Laura, and I am so thankful for the suggestion. Here we
1:28.2	are doing it. And I do think that Laura's request was so timely, because truly, yes, it is October,
1:34.3	and I've said millions of times on this show. I'm not a pre-planner. I know there are people that
1:39.5	like to have all of their shopping done by Halloween and blah, blah, blah. And that is great,
1:44.4	and I love that for you guys. That's not me. I have definitely last minute doing things, but
1:51.5	here's the thing, Rebecca, you and I both know many of us know. You either pay for things with time
1:57.1	or many. And so many of us who have relied on things that cost a little more, but were more
2:02.3	convenient in the past, maybe this is the year that we want to invest some time starting right now
2:08.8	to be able to have a festive holiday season, even though our budgets might be a little bit
2:14.2	tighter than usual, right? That's kind of what I'm thinking for this conversation.
