    Cutting the Cord - Part 1

    Over the last decade, Brian and Jen have taken a proactive approach to simplifying their lives.  Part of this process has been looking in to the way they watch--and pay for--TV. This week Brian and Jen are joined by TIm Tritsch of TNE Technology to talk about Cutting the Cord from cable TV and streaming all of your TV and Movie entertainment content over the internet.  Tim and Brian talk about exactly HOW MUCH money you can typically save by doing this and Tim goes through, step by step, the process for switching from cable TV to streaming.  The process is much simpler than most people realize and in these two segments Tim will address most of the common questions and misconceptions.  If you have questions for Tim you can reach him at his website (linked below).  If you've ever considered ways to reduce your cable bill or have ever contemplated the switch from cable to streaming in order to gain access to additional content, this podcast is for you! https://www.tnetechnology.com/

    Moving Day!

    This episode was inspired by our daughter's recent move into a new apartment so we thought it was appropriate for Chloe to join us via Zoom to provide her input and insights around moving day (SPOILER ALERT: Not EVERYTHING went as expected!).  It was also great to get the chance for all of us to discuss tips and tricks from many moves over the years! Hopefully you will hear an idea or two that makes your life easier (or at least less stressful!) next time you have to move.
