What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, this is Allie and thanks for listening to the show. Give us a five-star review where you listen and share this episode with someone who might need to hear it. Now, enjoy the show.
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
You're listening to another edition of DIY Money.
Oh my, that was aggressive. DIY Money. We're not going to do any sort of little odds and ends here. We're going to go right into this because today, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to have an unscripted conversation with the It makes it sound like we script every other episode. Yeah, we script nothing. We totally script nothing. It's all off script.
How does Allie describe the purpose of this episode and her relationship status?
But we have had unbelievable feedback from our Money and Marriage series. So thank you for that. Keep those comments coming. If you'd like to hear more of those kind of subject matters, let us know. But we also realized that We have a lot of single people who listen to the podcast. So maybe those of you who kind of skipped on through that and said, well, that's not for me because I'm not married. I'm not even in a relationship. You might find some value in the discussion we have with A. Howard, which, in case you've been living under a rock, while we talk about her life regularly on this show and the death-defying activities she involves herself in, we have never talked about... Her relationship status.
Oh, I wouldn't put it like that. She is currently single. At least that's what I think. Maybe I'm not privy to that because she will not tell me if she jumps out of an airplane and probably won't tell me when she's dating someone. But she is not married. So what I want to start off with, Allie, is... You've already listened to the Money in Marriage series because you commented to me today about how Brandy threw me under the bus a couple of times, or so you said.
Which was much deserved, I'm sure.
Much deserved, I'm sure. But when you listened to that and you reflected on your own situation, right off the bat, what are things that when you listened to that, you thought, well... I do it this way because I'm single. Or I mean, what went on in your brain when you were listening to those that you could share with the audience that differs from the way we do things in a marriage and the way you do things as a single person?
For sure. I think a lot of the focus in those, which they were tremendous, obviously didn't apply a ton to me at this point, but a lot of the conversation was around how do you navigate the conflict with two people with two differing opinions and two different goals and values. And I think one of the things I've never heard a podcast about, but I've kind of wrestled through in my own singleness is this idea of like, okay, well, right now I only have one set of values and goals, but I know that won't always be the case. So how do I position my own goals and values and continue to the way I operate, you know, steam train towards those with a lot of aggression, knowing that at some point in a year, two years, five years, 10 years, maybe never, I will have to pivot and insert someone else's goals and values too into that.
And so I think one of the things that isn't talked about a lot is this idea of, okay, How do I position myself where I'm still being just as aggressive in my goals of the timeline that I've put in place, knowing that the Lord could very well change that at any given moment? Where, for example, one of my goals right now is I'd like to buy a house in a few years, and so I'm starting to kind of squirrel away the down payment over time with that expectation. But I know very well that... In two years from now, maybe I'm not going to want to buy a brand new house because I could be seeing someone who has one. Or how do I adjust, you know, what my expectation is in light of that?
So I have some thoughts on that, but that's irrelevant. So how are you wrestling with that? And what are you doing with that? And how does that impact those, you know, those goals and those objectives that you're heading towards?
For sure. I think the big thing is recognizing it's not a guarantee in my posture and in the way that I approach it.
