A little bit of both. Okay, good. Do you have any questions for me?
Okay. So what do you think the next plan of action is for you?
Okay. That sounds like a great plan. And then I think just understanding where some of the extras are going, the yearly pass to Disney, the whatever else you added in, just getting like an audit of what is going on there might be helpful to prioritize. Absolutely.
And I know it sounds like Captain Obvious, but to make a spending plan, it's designed to overall help you increase that savings contributions. And listen, when you're getting home from work, you feel tired. Who wants to update a tracker at the end of looking at trackers all day long?
But do you think if you just updated the tracker quarterly, so it's not a nightly thing, that could be something you could stick to?
Yep. I mean, a lot of times it's going to be boring. I'm not going to lie to you, but I do like my money to be boring. No need to have the excitement that you would get at Disney World with your finances. You want it slow, steady, and super boring. But you'll see progress and the gap between what you want for retirement and what you're doing right now is going to start closing.
And that's going to feel really good. And it won't take energy away from you at the end of the day. It will probably feel energizing.
Okay, good. So I think with these steps, you're building a really solid foundation for your financial future and lifestyle creep does not stand a chance, especially when you recognize it, it usually creeps away. But the first step to any recovery is admitting you have a problem. And the only problem we can't fix is when you don't admit you have. So I think this is a big step.

One of the things I really love about my work is the fact that I can do it from anywhere. Getting a change of scenery can really help inspire creativity in my work and has once or twice or maybe more cured my writer's block. Being away for work, for fun, or for both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb.
That way, not only do you get to experience a new part of the world, but you're also making money while you're doing it. And if you think hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it is easier than ever before to host. Now you can hire a high-quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests.
They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and providing on-site support. They can even help with design and styling. Also, by hosting on Airbnb, you can become part of another family's story, maybe even their hero. As you know, I stayed in an Airbnb for months when my house burned down, and I truly do not know what I would have done otherwise.
So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you could hire a co-host to do the work for you. Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
Today, I'm going to pull back the curtain on a financial institution you probably didn't expect to hear on the show, Vatican City, with the new pope, the Sistine Chapel, the Swiss guards, and a surprisingly tangled financial web. Now, you might think of the Vatican as this holy place, and it absolutely is.
But it's also a sovereign city-state with a bank, real estate assets, a pension fund, and a history of financial scandal that would make Wall Street blush. Today, we're going to dive into the financial story of the Catholic Church under Pope Francis, the scandals, the reforms, the setbacks, and what all of this means for the new pope, Pope Leo XIV. Let's rewind back to 2012.
