Yeah.

So I like to break it down into three buckets.
4:33
It's like, how can I make more money? How can I save money? And how can I do better with the existing money that I have today? So in terms of the make more money bucket, try to figure out ways that you can increase your income.
4:46
Can you negotiate an increase in pay at work? Maybe a salary bump, a raise.
4:51
Can you take on a side hustle? Can you monetize any existing skills that you have to make more money? That's just one of the ways that, you know, you can actually bring more money into your life and dedicate those funds towards your sabbatical savings or your career break savings, et cetera.
5:08
That's the make more money bucket.
5:10
For the save money bucket, how can I spend less money? How can I make it so less money is leaving my account? Where can I cut my expenses? Maybe rather than going to brunch with the girls every Sunday, maybe we're organizing picnics.

... be part of the con- or at least be part of the conversation, you know what I mean?
