We dont know how the next few days will unfold. We cant predict the future. Uncertainty is unsettling and theres a natural temptation to forecast to make guesses and predictions to self-soothe against the uncertainty. We do this with elections we do this with the stock market we even do this with sports scores. Wed rather forecast and prognosticate than live with the sinking dread of uncertainty. But the reality is that not only are we unable to predict the future were also unable to fully contr Sports Scores, Self Improvement Quotes, The Next, Predictions, Stock Market, Weight Lifting, Acting

I knew youve heard this a bazillion times today but for the bazillionth-and-one time: Get off your couch and go vote. Dont sit around complaining and dont sit around getting sucked into useless social media comment wars. Instead do something thats actually constructive. Vote. Less screen time more action. Less complaining more doing. Yes its cold outside. Its getting dark. Its easy to question if your actions will make a difference. It will. You have more power than you realize. And it starts wi Instagram Photo, One Time, Got Off, Screen Time, Realize, I Know, Heard, Something To Do

Happy November! Its the start of gratitude month the month of giving thanks no matter how insanely effing tough this year has been for everyone. The month of focusing on the abundance in our lives rather than everything we (validly) feel is lacking. Yeah this year has sucked for just about errryone. But at least one a week I have the thought: thank gawd this happened in the era of high-speed home internet. Can you imagine the shutdown of 2020 with the technology of 1989? Yikes.

My favorite part of Halloween as a kid (besides the candy) were ghost stories. I read Goosebumps all year long and read piles of books about mysteries and haunted houses (anyone else remember The Babysitters Club Mystery series?!) but Halloween was the season for creepy stories of ghouls and goblins told by my elementary school librarian as we the kids huddled in a slightly darkened room. She told us stories of magic and witchcraft and graveyards and hauntings and as kids our imagination would f Creepy Stories, Ghost Stories, Pile Of Books, Babysitters, School Librarian, Graveyards, Haunted Houses

Some members of the financial independence retire early (FIRE) community make the mistake of optimizing for finances but not for life. Sure one of the great things about the FIRE community is the enthusiasm for living a life that is efficient. But that can cross over into an unhealthy obsession when every decision starts with the question How do I reduce the cost? rather than How do I amplify the benefit? or How do I find the optimal value?

Two seemingly-contradictory ideas can be true simultaneously: A younger version of yourself would love and admire The You of Today because you've come so far ... ... and yet you're not ready to rest on your laurels. You see how much further you could go how much more you could be and do. Yes you've come a long way but you're not done yet. That's progress without complacency. ____________________________ There are times when taking a damn break is the best thing you could do for yourself.

That statement came from behavioral economist Dr. Dan Ariely one of our former podcast guests. He spent his life obsessed with the idea that we repeatedly and predictably make the wrong decisions. He says checking accounts are a huge part of our money problems. We cram all of our money into this one account where it sits as a gigantic commingled mess. Everything that we need to pay for -- from our rent/mortgage to our clothes and restaurant meals to our groceries and utilities -- all sits in thi Money Problems, Checking Account, Economist, Mortgage, Decisions, Personal Finance, Allusion

You're in this for the long haul. Don't get too excited about the good times; don't get too bummed out about the bad times. Invest at routine intervals and ignore the performance of your portfolio.
