1109-It Matters Not What You Think; It Matters All What You Do

Episode 1109

1027: Should Women Work?

Episode 1027

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 • Duration 02:12:49

I admit it; the title is a little bit of clickbait. I received a set of important and cogent questions from a concerned mother-of-daughters who was wrestling with some of my male-oriented comments and advice recently. In this episode I seek to thoughtfully explore and articulate the differences between male and female career aspirations and leadership in society and discuss openly some of the challenges we currently face.

This episode was quite difficult to do because in our current public discussions we seem to orient towards extremism, rather than taking an honest look at the world, accounting honestly for differences between men and women without diminishing either sex.

I did my best with these important questions; I hope my comments spark some useful conversation with you and your loved ones.

188-Avoiding the Sunk Cost Fallacy by Applying Zero-Based Thinking

Tuesday, May 5, 2015 • Duration 40:04

Years ago, I learned an extremely valuable thinking process from Brian Tracy called Zero-Based Thinking. Today, I share it with you.

Here's the question: Is there anything in your life that, knowning what you now know, you wouldn't get into again today if you had to do it over?

If the answer is yes, then you follow up with these questions: How do I get out? How fast do I get out?

By consistently applying this question to every area of our lives, we can avoid much of the impact of the sunk cost fallacy. As humans, we tend to want to keep doing something because we've invested a lot of time, money, or emtion into it in the past.

But, for the most part, those costs are gone. They're sunk. You can't recover them.

Rather, you have to zero the decision out, ignore the past, take the information you have today and determine if you want to continue what you're doing.

This type of thinking can be extremely challenging and freeing.

I hope it's a useful concept to you!

187-Friday Q&A: Special Needs Planning, Podcast Feedback, 15-Year Old Son's College Account, My Investment Strategy

Thursday, April 30, 2015 • Duration 01:42:09

Today, we continue the Q&A blitz!

Here are the questions I cover today:

Do you have any tips or feedback about how to factor a special needs child when planning for retirement, college, etc?. The typical advice usually is that, typical, once you have a special needs child things change as you dwell into the wonderful world of early intervention, therapies, IEPs, tax planning, etc, I used to think I would just need to change my assumptions in terms of planning for our son to be with us long way past his 18th birthday, as well as making sure we plan for after we are gone. But I’m sure I’m missing other strategies.
I've been working at a major package delivery company for almost 26 years. I was just inducted into the circle of honor. Which means that I have gone accident free for over 25 years. Mind you I drive in New York City. I am highly trained, and pretty good at what I do. Since listening to you, and some other podcasts. I was thinking of starting my own podcast. Driving is something almost everyone does and there really aren't any podcasts on safe driving. Trust me most people don't know what they're doing. The problem I have is exactly what you went through after episode 181. I don't want to argue with people over everything that I say. I don't understand why people can't take the good, and credible information out of a conversation, and leave the bad behind. I don't agree with everything you said, but that doesn't mean I didn't pause, and think about what you were saying. Kudos to you. I'll be retiring in four years, maybe by then I won't care what anybody thinks. Since I have your attention I have a question. I have a 15 year old son. Who works for his mothers company from home. He he takes home takes home $225 every two weeks. In which she saves about 75% of that. I opened up a brokerage account for him to separate the money from savings, and checking. I spread the money out into four different ETFs. I'm trying to teach him to invest and diversify. The problem I have is he maybe using some of this money, or all of it for college. I'm afraid the stock portion could be a problem, since I know you shouldn't have money in the market you're going to need within 3 to 5 years. Would like to know your thoughts on this situation.
During episode 181 you mentioned that you don’t have your money in the markets for moral reasons. Where do you put your money and have it grow in line with inflation or better yet beat it?

186-Q&A: Real Estate Investing and the Financial Planning Process

Wednesday, April 29, 2015 • Duration 58:17

I'm continuing my Q&A blitz today. I set out to answer five questions and wound up answering two. Oh well. At least I think you'll enjoy them!

Here are the two questions I cover:

What are your opinions regarding real estate investing? Should people invest in real estate? What percentage of the portfolio should it be? Thoughts on wholesaling? Flipping? Etc.?
My question is can you walk us through your typical financial planning process with an average client of yours. From the initial conversation to the presentation and implementation. How do you prioritize your recommendations?

Enjoy!

185-Q&A: Effective Journaling, Where to Invest First $100, Investing Like Your Money Or Your Life, Families Investing Together

Tuesday, April 28, 2015 • Duration 01:00:29

Today, I do Q&A and answer these four questions:

Joshua, I absolutely cannot get enough of your show. Thank you very much for the effort you put in and the thought provoking product you create! It is worth the voluntary money!I've got a very open ended question: You often talk about journaling and writing to help develop thoughts, ideas, and plans. How does one get started doing this? What should your listeners focus on when getting into the habit of journaling? How often do you write in your journal? Without any framework or place to start, I find myself wanting to move on to other activities. I know it's not a direct financial topic but I believe there is a huge amount of value to the idea of putting your thoughts down on paper and developing them and it is something I'd like to start as soon as possible. It'd be great to hear your thoughts and maybe some tactics you employ to get the most out of your journaling time. Keep up the great work, -Chris
19:52 Joshua, One of the biggest goals I have in my life is to become financially independent. Which is why I came across your Podcast in the first place but I am having a hard time figuring out where exactly to go from here. I just started keeping track of every penny I make and spend so that I can start to budget and plan accordingly (I know I should have done this years ago but I gotta start somewhere!) I am 26 years old and have very little experience saving. I am a compulsive spender but I know I can change my habits with the right motivation and I know that I am still young enough to make a very significant change in my life. I have tried to find something "from the beginning" in your podcast but I havn't yet found one that fits my needs. The questions that I have are things that may seem really basic to anyone who has been financially planning for a while. What do I do with my first savings? Say its only $100 dollars, do I keep it in cash at my house? Do I open a savings account and keep it there? How much should I have saved before I start looking at other options, retirement accounts, etc. Sincerely, Garion.
29:45 Joshua, With regard to "Your Money or Your Life" (I have been reading the book for the past few days.), is the strategy for investment/FI that the author's put forth in Chapter Nine still valid today, in your opinion. (I apologize if you have covered this already; I am still trying to get caught up with all of your podcasts.) Please keep up the awesome work. -Daniel

184-Financial Freedom Afloat: Lessons We Can Learn From the Long-Term Sailing Community

Monday, April 27, 2015 • Duration 51:04

I enjoy looking for financial planning tips from odd corners of the world. Recently, I stumbled across the book Financial Freedom aFloat: How to Pocket a Paycheck in Paradise by Charles Tuller as I was browsing the finance section in my local library.

Written for the cruising community, the book lays out some specific ideas and strategies for sailors who either need or want to earn some money to be able to afford to stay out on the water for the long-term.

I'm most intrigued by the challenge of the problem: how do you live a "dream lifestyle" without a lot of money?

The answer is multi-fold:

Own your shelter.
Minimize your ongoing expenses.
Work while you travel.

The last item is the most interesting to me right now.

How do you conveniently integrate work and life without feeling like an indentured servant? How do you earn and enjoy life at the same time?

The book does a good job of laying out some ideas. And, it gets better all the time. There are so many more options availalbe now in 2015 than there were in 2000, when the book was written.

Enjoy the ideas we draw and apply them to your own lifestyle--whether you'd like to cruise or not!

Enjoy!

Joshua
