    "You create the standard in which others hold you accountable to."  - Demetrius Watts Have you ever created a standard for yourself, whether conscious or subconscious, and people took it upon themselves to hold you to it? If so, this is a prime example of how our actions truly do speak louder than our words. Our regular actions create the EXPECTATION others will have for us. But the reality is... we may only hear about the shortcomings when we do not meet the standard. Thank you for listening!

    Watts vocalizes his confusion with why there are people who are strongly against the finances being divided evenly within a relationship. It’s often men who are expected to provide and financially support the household. Is that still a fair expectation within a dual-income household? Justeen sheds light on how women create checklists with hopes of finding "Mr. Right". But we wonder if that comes at the expense of passing on great people? Thank you for listening!

    Did you know that the average millennial has a net worth of $8,000, which is less than the amount that our parents were worth 40 years ago? Yeah, we didn’t know that either. So this week, we’re talking about the facts and how social media constantly influences our financial decisions. Subconsciously, most millennials like us tend to internalize what we see and hear on social media which has lead some of us to incur debt and cultivate bad spending habits. Today, we will acknowledge financial mistakes that we’ve made and how we’ve tackled big financial decisions in the past. Your biggest take away from this episode is how to maintain self control when you have those spontaneous moments where you feel the need to splurge. Thank you for listening!
