Speaker 1 (00:00):

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Happy Wednesday, friends, Welcome to the show. In Turnsohn is
my name Sas Hello, Hello, Rose, Hi Hi.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Look in the background.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Look at that I got Eric Hoodie, severa all here
love here from you at eight seven seven four six.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
They want to call it what'd you say? I said, WHOA?
That was worth it?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Nine eight to text DM's open at YMS Radio. Let
me get to this for your Wednesday. I guess it's raising.
That's surprising. They were talking about budgets and they say
being frugal is trendy according to the majority of Americans. Surprising, Yeah,
because we it's not because of fun reasons.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Because of my frugal I broke. I can't tell.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I love this side TikTok that I was on for
a minute there where it was people that went through
the two thousand and eight recessions talking.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
About how they survived.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, and a lot of like a lot of them
are like, oh, we did this and this and this,
But then there's this scroll like can we be for real?
We did not buy stuff the way we do now,
Like none of us there are like you know, in
our twenties thirties, we're getting botox like we are now,
and like hair's the cost of hairs, like you know,
getting your hair on has gone up, but we weren't
buying clothes like we are.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now because it also it wasn't as easy to you.
It wasn't go with them all and like yeah, yeah,
that was like it.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
And also like the diets were so different. She was
talking about lin cuisines and she's like I was in college.
You get lin cuisines like five for five dollars, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Like, what or ten Ramen packets for dollars. I think
that's what it was. Something crazy. Yeah. Three chorus agree.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Being open and honest about being on budget is more
socially acceptable today.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So. I think that's easier because then I know you're
being for real because when I hear people that, because
we've all have heard somebody be like oh yeah, like
talking about like how they spend sun spend, I'm like,
that cannot be for real. Now.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
I think it's helpful too with friends, Like if have
friends like this out of my budgets, like cool, at
least that I know, like you want to hang with
that particular thing is not an option for right now,
And that's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Let's readjust because unfortunately, subconsciously, a lot of us that
have friends we feel like are in similar situations as us.
We're like comparing, like there's this friend that I have.
I'm like, there's no way she can't afford that, And
then I found she had trust fun See that's but
I was like, I was like.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
How, I like literally like I don't know. I was
just like that, how how It's important to realize that
things aren't alays what they see exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's like when people like I had a friend who's
like my alo has many trips with my friends, Like,
you have no idea what's are being paid for it?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
You're going to debt and you probably don't want to
know how get paid. Yeah, So there you go. It's
