October goes by and we pay the same deal for all of our expenses that month out of that savings account because there's nothing getting deposited into the checking account other than a little bit of money that Sarah was making. And then we get to November, same savings account pays all those bills. We get to December 1st, we pay rent out of the savings account and there's now no longer any money in the savings account and there's not a lot”

“contracts also required accountability. And though we don't all like it, accountability is important in our lives. And when we build trust and relationships with others and have a spirit of accountability with one another, that accountability can help to make us better people in what we do.
