Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny southern California.
Jack Butala: Today Jill and I talk about your 2018 financial goals. Actually, we're going to talk about ours.
Jill DeWit: Let's see, what do I want in 2018?
Jack Butala: And then we're going to see if ... what yours are. And how we actually calculate ... How I literally every year calculate what our goals are and how we accomplish it.
Jill DeWit: What's missing from my life?
Jack Butala: What is missing from your life, Jill? I would like to know the answer to that.
Jill DeWit: Let me see now. What are my 2018 goals?
Jack Butala: As my business partner and life partner, how can I help your life be better? Why is that funny?
Jill DeWit: It is not money related.
Jack Butala: What is it? Answer the question.
Jill DeWit: That's the reality. Oh, answer the question [Clare 00:00:54], here it comes. No.
