If you've never considered making financial decisions based off of a mantra, then you're not living. In this conversation, Riley and I talk finances (plot twist: I have decided to become savvy as hell with money). We also dip our toes into airstream progress, chat about how Riley learned to create an electrical system from scratch, and discuss whether we should change our approach to sharing pod-related information on social media or not.
When you've gotten yourself entangled in a marriage* where neither one of you fully understands finances, it becomes necessary for a change to be made. That's why I, Caro Bambino, have taken it upon myself to sign up for a finance course this fall, thereby changing the course of our tiny, insignificant lives forever. In this conversation, we chat about that course, along with the approach I plan on having to our shared financial future. We also talk about how cool it's been to see Riley literally teach himself a really complicated and useful skill during the airstream renovation, and Riley asks me how it feels when I shared information about the pod on social media to a resounding audience of crickets. We're still exploring how we feel about the idea of creating a separate account for this project — if you see one pop up on your feed soon, that'll be your answer.

*yes, that's how I describe my relationship with Riley
