00:00I blow a lot of money, living in New Orleans, yeah.
00:02We do fight about money a lot.
00:08She would refer to me as her husbank.
00:15Shopping to Lauren is a sport.
00:18That's her cardio.
00:19Nordstrom is her church.
00:20I spend a lot more on my clothes.
00:25I thought we did.
00:27No, no, super vestiario.
00:33You don't like buying things, or having things,
00:37or bringing things in the house.

00:43Drinks and dinner, and he always wants to pay for everyone.
00:47I'll wipe out my bank account on a pair of shoes.
00:50I'm so irresponsible with money, and Jeremy's not.
00:56You're good with money.
00:57I would trust you.
00:58I would trust you, Jeremy.
00:59Yeah, same.
01:00I definitely would.
01:01He doesn't understand certain things that I buy,
01:03like endless headbands for children,
01:05and bandanas and stuff.
01:07You know, I've been previously married,
01:08and that was a point of contention.
01:10We had joint everything, and it was a problem,
01:12because I blow money all the time.
01:14Maybe that's why it's a problem.
01:17I would go shopping.
01:19Just immediately go shopping,
01:20because I never had the opportunity
01:21to just shop until I dropped,
01:23so I'm going to shop until I dropped,
01:24and then figure out all the adult stuff.
01:26You kind of have to win the Powerball
01:28to buy an apartment in New York.
01:30Because to live in with all my friends,
01:32and for all these fun parties.
01:33Yeah, and like a giant high-diving board,
01:36like 20 feet.
01:38That would be sick.
01:38It's not safe.
01:39It's not safe.
01:42It's not safe.
01:44It's not safe.
01:46It's not safe.
01:48Somewhere around $800, $900 total.
01:53Well, you know the diamond,
01:54just the diamond was $600.
01:55I know, but I forgot about the office.
01:57And you picked out the chain,
01:58which was the most expensive one.
02:00I love you.
02:01Yeah, me too.
02:02Merry Christmas.
02:03The most I ever spent was $3,000.
02:06On what?
02:07Your prime shirt.
02:08Oh.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Oh.
02:11It brought me this crazy $1,000 Chanel brooch
02:15for no reason.
02:16It's not $1,000.
02:17Oh my god, you're wearing it.
02:19Yeah, but it was not $1,000.
02:21And I got it because it was a deal.
02:27You know about it now.
02:28It's the two chairs downstairs.
02:31After the fact, I guess.
02:32Is that it?
02:33He always finds out because we get an email
02:35when we get a package from our doorman.
02:38So sometimes I have to steal his phone
02:39and erase that email.
02:41I had to get baby Doc Martens
02:43because I'm doing a photo shoot.
02:45And it was important because I think
02:48that every child should have Doc Martens.
03:01How much is yours?
03:03Starbucks?
03:04Depends.
03:04Mine's $4.84.
03:06What are you talking about?
03:06Everything you do is more expensive.
03:09You absolutely do get a pumpkin spice
03:12and like whipped cream.
03:13I don't.
03:13No, a Starbucks order.
03:14I don't.
03:15Very specific.
03:15You get like the fancy seasonal.
03:18Always.
03:21Make choices based on things that are important to you.
03:26Choose the job that you can see yourself enjoying
03:29and contributing to over the job that pays you more.
03:32No spregare i soldi di fare il budget for everything.
03:38If I could give advice to my younger self,
03:40I would definitely tell them not to open up credit cards
03:43that you cannot pay.
03:44Shop the sale rack and start loading up on the baby clothes.
03:52Saving.
03:52Yeah, saving.
03:53Setting ourselves up.
03:54We're trying to be responsible.
03:56Unfortunately.
03:57Yeah, trying.
03:57Trying.
03:58And we save half of our income
04:00because we're trying to buy an apartment.
04:02Yeah.
04:02And we have dreams of adopting a child
04:05in the next couple of years.
04:07So we've been saving our faces off.
04:09I just want to be in a position financially to, you know,
04:12propose to her and...
04:13Okay, that's what I was looking for.
04:15Yeah.
04:15I want to do that.
04:16Okay.
04:16Put a ring on it.
04:17A nice, nice, round, solitaire
04:22with diamonds around the band,
04:24eternity style.
04:25Mm-hmm.
04:26Yeah.
04:27It's coming.
04:30It's coming.
04:33If the only reason that God would be on the earth
04:37was to spend the rest of my life with you,
04:40I would consider it a life well lived.
04:43Oh, my God.
