Two Degrees Hotter

this week we're talking about the hidden costs of your 20s: all the random, expensive, and oddly specific things nobody warned us we'd be spending so much money on. from weddings, gifts, and therapy to dental work, home maintenance, subscriptions, professional clothes, and the shocking price of a casual drink in boston, we're breaking down the expenses that quietly add up once you enter adulthood. this isn't a complaint episode (mostly), just a reality check on where our money seems to disappear every month. if you've ever looked at your bank account and thought "how did that happen?" this one's for you.

fall is officially here, which means it's time for our annual attempt to get our lives together. this week we're sharing the habits, routines, goals, and random life admin we're locking in on this season. from strength training, wedding planning, crockpot dinners, paper planners, and finally answering the question: what if we just did the things we said we were going to do?

we're also walking through our fall bucket lists, featuring estate sales, stationery stores, gilmore girls rewatches, twilight marathons, housewarming plans, nyc adventures, signature scent hunting, and a few highly specific personal quests. consider this your permission slip to romanticize fall while also getting your life moderately organized.

this week we're taking inventory of our most random strengths and weaknesses. somehow we're capable of navigating public transportation in a foreign country and making a perfect soft boiled egg, but folding a fitted sheet and remembering to buy birthday cards continue to humble us.

this week we're handing out grades to every corner of our lives and discovering that adulthood is basically one long performance review. from finances and fitness to friendships, sleep, careers, hobbies, and fun, we're giving ourselves honest (and occasionally generous) report cards as summer starts to wind down. we chat wedding planning updates, kylie's new homeowner era, marathon training, career motivation slumps, relationship wins, and the categories that could definitely use a little extra attention before fall. grab your red pen and come grade your own life alongside us.

this week we're putting our decision-making skills to the test with a series of difficult hypothetical scenarios. what would you do if your friend started dating the worst person you've ever met? if your company accidentally paid you twice?

along the way we tackle friendship drama, career crossroads, relationship dilemmas, surprise money, and more. turns out it's very easy to have strong opinions when none of it is actually happening to you.

we'd love to know: what would you do? 👀

this week we're putting ourselves through the ultimate personality test: a completely unscientific game of "this or that." from unlimited coffee vs unlimited wine to double your salary vs working three fewer days a week, we're making impossible choices, overexplaining our answers, and learning way too much about each other in the process.

expect strong opinions, questionable logic, a few existential crises, and some surprisingly revealing takes on money, relationships, careers, and everyday life. turns out choosing between tsa precheck and a window seat says more about you than you think.
