Listen, let me tell you, I am having nostalgia thinking about that 3% interest rate during the pandemic.

I almost bought a house, almost, but I didn't want to be house poor.

And you guys are breaking my heart by telling me it's not coming back, that we're hovering around 6%.

So until then, I'll be window shopping.

You can leave us a voicemail.

You can text us on the Nerd Hotline.

The number is 901-730-6373.

Again, that's 901-730-NERD.

You can also pop us an email at podcast at nerdwallet.com.

Claire and Robbie, welcome to Smart Money.

Thanks for having us.

I'm so excited to have a couple here today, and we are excited to dig into your finances and answer your questions.

Okay, and then what do you guys do for work?

I know that you wrote to us and said that you have similar income.

So what do you guys do?

You got to love how some people ask me, like, oh, what does your friend do or sister do for work?

And I'm like, something around something.

It just never sticks, right?

And do you guys have any plans or have you talked about potentially pooling your money together or you plan to keep your finances separate for the most part?

All right.
