I used to work 60 hours/week until I had stage 4 cancer 8 years ago. Suddenly I realized I needed to live my life because I never know when it will be over. I got a job working remote living at the place where I used to vacation. Could I make more money? Sure. But now I work to live not live to work.

My father was at Iwo Jima and witness both flags raised. He survived and lived to be 83 years old. he passed away in 2003 live long enough to see 911 towers fall. I am thankful he is not alive to see the horrible condition of this country and what is going on. This also makes me think about Jeremiah Denton who was the man who blinked morse code TORTURE in the Hanoi Hilton in Vietnam. Spent seven years and they created a tiny little flag that they hid from the Vietcong guards. The POW prisoners would salute it in the middle of the night in the Hanoi Hilton! The worst POW camp imaginable. Here is a quote from Jeremiah Denton The Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag & whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag -Jerimiah Denton

The whole team is out of touch with WFH employees. This whole podcast was done remotely which proves they can post a successful podcast without sitting next to eachother. Thats the irony of this conversation because plenty of employees are happier and more productive overall working from home. People save money on work clothes (Tom in his dad shorts), gas, car insurance, car maintenance, parking and eating out for lunch by WFH. FYI, when bosses want an update like you mention, a simple message on Microsoft teams, video call or phone call will suffice. This is 2024 not 2004. Remote work options bring in a larger talent pool and doesnt geographically lock you to local talent.

Got eloped in Las Vegas, went on a road trip, and attended two concerts-best decision ever. We saved a lot and had a blast. Our rings cost about $150 each. We are in good financial shape and want to keep it that way. Keeping up with the Joneses never made sense to me. We are able to go on another concert road trip from California to Las Vegas. We used points and credit card perks, like Amex FHR, to save money on food. After utilizing our perks, the hotels for a week will cost us maybe $300. The flight was the most expensive part, but we were fine with it since we saved money elsewhere. We are very blessed and grateful. We scaled back our expenses during Joe Biden’s term because we saw the writing on the wall, and it has been another great decision.

I disagree with the notion that staying at home and working is a bad idea. My wife cannot work from home, and if I had to go into the office, it would hinder her pursuit of becoming an optometrist. We have a 2-year-old who was born at 27 weeks and spent 82 days in the NICU. Additionally, working from home allows me to get closer to my goal of writing a novel, as I save time on commuting. Affordable housing is far from the city, making commuting even less practical. The views expressed by the PBD podcast don't resonate with me. They may make sense for new college graduates or those focused on climbing the corporate ladder, but my goal is to retire as soon as possible to spend more time with my family. It hurts when my daughter asks for me while I'm stuck in meetings. Many corporate jobs feel unfulfilling, filled with endless meetings and busywork. The real solution is to run organizations better, eliminate waste, and inspire employees with a compelling vision. Micromanaging is counterproductive and doesn't contribute to a positive work environment.

I'm gonna put my money on you hating me know! Cuz if I do all the things that make you love and respect now, cuz i buy you things, let you do whatever you want, you'll hate me when you're 25! If you hate me now, you'll love me when you're 25 cuz I'll have taught you what you need to know to handle your life on your own!

[@amilke3584]

I did not like my stepdad until I was almost 30 but we get along great now. Good point. Keep turning off those lights.

The only ones who don’t support working from home are ceos like PBD who are in love with themselves and being in control of their employees …We don’t owe you our lives, we owe you 40 hours a week .

[@nmm913]

Amen

[@timpage5021]

So work your 40 hours AT the workplace . How did you not understand what he’s saying.?

[@bigmikestein]

@@timpage5021 why can’t I work my 40 hours from the comfort of my own home? Not risking my life driving and waisting my free time in traffic to go to the office just so PBD can feed his ego by giving us motivational speeches all day ? What don’t you understand about that ?

30k sounds about where im at with our sept 2024 wedding for sure 😅

[@hleedina5567]

Please don't spend that much on a wedding. It's not worth it. The ceremony really lasts less that 15 minutes, and you or your wife will never wear the wedding dress again(you won't fit into it). The food you eat will end up in the toilet the next day. Save the money for a holiday...or a car, or down payment on a house. Saying this as a 11 year married woman. I spend a $1500 on my wedding. Did most of the work myself. I was so proud and pleased, didn't have any complaints. My husband did upgrade my ring the following year, and as we had planned, to the date, we got our first house 1 year exactly as planned with all the money we saved. We had 20 guests at our wedding that we all knew and loved! Do accept gifts, welcome gifts, if a family member wants to spend a fortune on flowers, etc. You barely think about your wedding after it has happened, give it a year. None of the guests think about it either unless it's a direct topic of discussion...but I bet you would remember a vacation or honeymoon to Europe for example. Just some advice! If you have the money to splurge(if you are rich), then go ahead❤

[@shauna5466]

Tulsi Gabbard is so perfect for the job. She speaks to women, she’s a female of color, very politically savvy, career in the military, Strong on free speech, extremely patriotic, she speaks so eloquently . She left the Democratic Party bc she could no longer tolerate their lies! She’s the perfect Ying to the yang!

[@jsigur157]

Vivek Ramaswamy needs to be VP. Trump is so dominant on the ticket, the VP pick is irrelavant strategically. Go for a true new conservative like vivek or Tulsi

[@imhungry5663]

nope. its not going to be.

[@actualperson9628]

I love Vivek, but Tulsi would be kriptonite to Kamala.

[@slaapliedje]

​@@actualperson9628letting her just talk is kryptonite to 'Mamala'.

The right is Christian. Also a brown man doesn’t sit well with the right.

[@dawnchristine]

Tulsi would definitely pull independents and disenchanted Dems.

[@gifthorse3675]

And cost many right leaning voters like me. I will not support him because it’s bad enough that we only have democrats to choose from. All options suck as it is but that choice will cost him.

[@christimcelrath474]

And gain this conservative vote! Tulsi is more patriotic than many republicans. She is now registered Republican. She served her country- she calls people out who aren’t Patriots. She is COUNTRY and the American People FIRST. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

[@ambermik2940]

When you work from home you don't have to be part of the workplace politics and kiss the bad management ass all day. You get real work done!!!

By the way, I like Sarah Huckabee Sanders for VP. No one could 'get' to her when she was his Press Secretary, and had such class. In Arkansas she's solid as Governor.

[@joeblow1942]

AK needs her as governor.

[@covingtonhalltown3730]

The problem is her name. Huckabee reminds of the other Huckabee fella and Sanders makes one think she's related to Bernie.

My husband and I got married at the courthouse on July 3rd in Steamboat Springs Colorado and then floated the Yampa River. It was the greatest!! Weddings are such a waste of money.

[@TheUnseenOracle]

Sounds like a beautiful wedding so relaxing. I completely agree.

[@ReezyMontanaDaYachtCaptain]

Congratulations !👏👏

[@BrokenBritain4u]

Love Tom , Vinny and PBD can listen to them for hours and hours

[@romanteni]

For once i totally agree with adam when he says do a $3000 wedding and put your money towards the future. If your woman needs a 100k wedding to marry you, shes just testing how much she will get in the divorce.

[@readthefineprint9914]

All of their broke time stories give me hope, and I relate to it all 😅 We married at 19 and 21. I've only ever received 1 Coach purse $900 ring

[@amilke3584]

Hey I'm from Everett. I have a job at Fluke and can barely afford my apartment and normal living expenses. I'm 35 and want to buy a house but it seems impossible

[@VisenyaAtoms]

Married same ages as you guys lol no purses and stuff, but computers and things like that between us instead since we like gaming and all that 😂 our marriage was under a covered bridge in simple, everyday black clothing we aleady owned, my mom spent $60 on my nails 😆 I picked out my own ring for $150, a short stay in a local Victorian B&B for our honeymoon which thankfully was only booked by us! Still in our first home bought for 150k, almost a decade ago, after saving a lot (no mortgage), a single used car, and no kids yet because we're working on moving/making business plans to really solidify our income and start seriously family planning.

[@VisenyaAtoms]

​@@amilke3584can be soul draining but you have to pinch every penny, look for every discount possible, coupon codes, off-brand items, pretty much no fun or good stuff ever lol only spending what you absolutely have to. Nothing else. I picked up a lot of extra shifts, worked in factories 6 days a week, 12 hours a day, etc. It's really shitty but you will see your savings start rising

[@RestrictedFilms]

Rent for a 1 bedroom in a SMALL town is HALF of income at $26 an hour. At 35, marriage and family is no longer possible as Millennial women want OLD men, and dating younger women is a Biblical abomination. There's nothing for most American men to live for. The future DOES NOT look bright.

[@robertthompson5701]

PBD demonstrated how out of touch he is today. "Work-life balance doesn't mean anything. You should just work 24/7." While they do a podcast with them all very clearly still on vacation. I'm sick and tired of these millionaires and billionaires saying crap like this and then doing the exact opposite. Imagine how fast Valuetainment would collapse if Pat went into work on Monday, and told his employees they no longer get sick days, vacation time, no holidays, and they had to work from 6am - 9pm. Every last person would quit that day and he'd be hit with so many lawsuits he'd collapse from the sheer weight. Yet him and Tom wanna run out from their vacation spots and tell their viewers, "You gotta work all the time" Even the work from home stuff, they're all sitting there saying "Don't work from home or remotely" while they're, you guessed it, working from home/remotely. This is something y'all really need to stop doing because not only are you not currently practicing what you preach, but I can guarantee neither of them practiced it when they were building their businesses.

[@silllygoose3927]

Yeah definitely put a nasty taste in my mouth. That entire segment felt extremely disconnected from any idea of what life is like for the average person right now. Very self inflating, felt exactly like hearing a modern politician or the mainstream media talk about our lives and why they suck. Yuck

[@ehawk30]

It total BS by crazy Rich people. Some jobs don't need to be at the office. Driving 2 hours each way to the office is so 2019... is not a good life.. most people can't afford to buy or rent decent housing within 20 min from office.
