With all the services and restaurants we interact with on a daily basis, it's hard to know when you should tip and when you shouldn't.

Nicole and I discuss the world of tipping and the etiquette we've developed around it.

And we also chat about the areas where we have no clue!

What are your go-to tipping policies?

According to the American Psychological Association, 40-50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce.

With a statistic like that, one might wonder if a prenup (prenuptial agreement) is a smart move.

Nicole and I discuss if we should have gotten a prenup when we got married, if we would now, how second marriages would play out and if we'd recommend one to our daughter as she grows older.

What are your thoughts on prenups?

In the last year, we spent $75,000 of our savings on cars, trips, house upgrades, and much more. Now, there's no money left!

After this spending spree (including what we received from the Stimulus Checks), will we be able to enjoy our lives without expecting more?

Nicole and I explore this lifestyle inflation conundrum and discuss how others may be feeling this way coming out of the pandemic.

Will you be receiving money from the Child Tax Credit?

Based on our income this year, we will be receiving the tax credit and could be upwards of $500 per month starting in July.

Once again, Nicole and I completely disagree with what to do with this new money. We debate how we should use it and options for other families to figure out their plans for the stimulus money.
