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. This episode is brought to you by Bank of America. I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
Money rehab.
I am somewhat of a romantic. I mean, I was a poetry major after all. So yes, I do love love. But what I'm obsessed with now is love and money and making sure to protect both in our relationships. What I think we all heard growing up when it came to money and relationships was what's mine is yours.
But I think we've collectively grown out of that so-called conventional wisdom and can graduate to a better philosophy. Today I'm talking about this with Sharna Burgess, who's a dancer, a Dancing with the Stars alum, in fact, and a podcaster. I was on her podcast, Oldish, that she co-hosts with her fiancé, Brian Austin Green, yes, from 90210, and life coach Randy Spelling.
I honestly had so much fun on her show, and I put her and Brian on the spot about whether or not they were going to get a prenup. That was about a year ago now. So today I'm checking back in and hearing about Sharna and Brian's approach to money in their relationship now. And I give my favorite strategies for setting good financial habits as a couple. Sharna Burgess, welcome to Money Rehab.
Thank you for having me.
