04:17How are you?
04:19I'm good!
04:21How are you?
04:23I like your jacket.

05:31gives you that edge

05:37That is actually a wonderful question
05:39that deserves an amazing answer.

06:01of quadratic equation in our everyday life?

06:07Alright, I know it's kind of tough.
06:09So let's start with an easy one.
06:11What is your idea
06:13of financial calculus?
06:15I think I have stomach pain.
06:17Can I go to the washroom?
06:21If you have accumulated
06:23more than 10 points,
06:25you're probably close to your dream.
06:27But if you scored less than 5,
06:29well, probably it's not time to go home.
06:31But only you can decide that part.
06:33And if you need a little bit
06:35of more advice about financial status,
06:37we have an interview,
06:39with a financial expert,
06:41with Manny.
06:43He will tell you how to get there.
06:45So that's it for today's episode.
