Imagine if you had a co-host in your life, you know, someone who could help manage your every day and do the things that you don't have time for. Well, unfortunately, that's not something we can opt into in life, but it is something you can opt into as an Airbnb host.

If you find yourself away for a while, like I do, maybe for work, a long trip, or a big life adventure, a local co-host can help you manage everything. From guest communications to check-in to making sure your place stays in tip-top shape, they have got you covered.

These are trusted locals who know your area inside and out, giving your guests a warm welcome while you focus on your own starring role, whatever that might be. You know that I love how hosting on Airbnb helps you monetize your home, an asset that you already have. That is a holy grail. And as a longtime fan of Airbnb, I have been telling everyone I know that they should be hosting too.

But some of my busiest friends have been overwhelmed by this whole idea of hosting. But thanks to the new co-host offering, they have finally signed up. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you can hire a co-host to do the work for you. Find a co-host at airbnb.com slash host.

I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab. So I have this idea for a reality show where I show up at weddings and when the officiant asks if anyone has any objections, I would stand up and ask people if they had the money talk. And if they hadn't, I would object loudly. Would you watch that show? Of course you would.

101.966 - 116.491 Nicole Lappin

Would I have any issues finding couples to wedding crash? No, I would not because lots of couples have problemos talking to their significant other about money. And the challenges can be sneaky sometimes. A difficult scenario doesn't look like a big financial secret.

116.611 - 134.743 Nicole Lappin

Sometimes a difficult scenario can look like two people being perfectly compatible, but just making different assumptions about what money and work will look like as they live happily ever after. I got this DM recently from a listener, let's just call him Cole, who had this question and I'm going to read it because he wanted to stay anonymous.

135.224 - 146.335 Nicole Lappin

He said, how do you approach your partner not being on the same page about financial growth? When we got married, neither me nor my wife had too much money and we both had some debt. We've been married for over seven years.

146.475 - 160.605 Nicole Lappin

In that time, I found better jobs twice, more than doubling my income, paid off all my debt, opened a TFSA that's the Canadian version of a Roth IRA, listened from the beginning of money rehab, yay, and recently opened a first home savings account.
