I started working with people in care as was told how good I was so trained and became a social worker. My job bring value to others. My job brings value to me but is hard to drag through drudgery and especially since that pandemic not to burn out dealing with emotions of the relatives with palliative care. My old pacifier was to spend it on junk. Listening to these podcasts and have gone back to the start is supporting me to get out of debt, reframe thinking and better ways of living life after work. Thanks so much.

So good. Love the tips about the dreaded "where do you see yourself in 5 years" interview question.

[@vanilaqt1]

You are all talking about how you quit your job, but what if i dont have any job, i am young, and want to be a minimalist in a tiny house? I dont have any debt but i dont know how to start my own journey

[@theminimalistninja]

absolutely loved this! I'm planning to see your 2nd screening in nyc and should I not be able to make it I'll watch it online. so excited for this!

Jeremiah- Individual plans for health insurance are expensive but if you are self employed and you are an s-Corp for tax purposes you get to take your health insurance (100%) as a before-AGI-deduction. So if you have income you can net you health insurance against it on your 1040. There is an entire line dedicated to it on the front page of the 1040.

would you consider including KZbin comments in the comment section?

[@theminimalistninja]

+Zank Apfel that's an awesome idea!! :)

[@mrdjsubz]

Thanks for another great talk. I'm working towards financial freedom. Saving and investing to the best of my abilities, aiming for $1,000,000 by 30. I will probably miss that goal, but it's exciting for me to attempt to invest and save to make that happen.

[@IfYouMeetAWolf]

How's it going? :)

[@isabelramirez0809]

Joshua, please consider taking a look at Dr john bergman on KZbin before considering surgery if you have not already. He is a genius and I'm sure you will understand the premise of his treatments. I saw him in may and traveled just to see him. I have very severe back and other issues. Good luck and thanks for the great work you guys do

[@jaclyn3052]

Your intros are tooooo long!

[@ZenDragoonYT]

Fast forward?

I hope that guy does take the banking job so that he can afford all of the fun things he’s passionate about.

[@andreamyhre]

The idea that money doesn't matter is kind of a privilaged white dude idea. Money DOES matter. I am a single Mom whose artistocratic ex (who went to private school, who had no school loans, who had a trust fund) followed his passion and makes little money which means he has very little to give us to support his children. The thing he doesn't get is that living in a lower-middle class bracket means that the kids are sometimes denied the things that would help them grow and it also limits us to living in a lower class neighborhood which affects their sense of worth. I AM SORRY BUT CLASS MATTERS in this country, upper class people have the resources to do better, make mistakes without huge consequences, follow their passions...lower class people don't have these freedoms, especially if they have kids. I am still doing things that I like to do but I am limited, at least for a few years, in my choices.

[@Bunnygirl6346]

Andrea Myhre They never said money doesn't matter. If you couldn't afford to give your kids the life you wanted for them you could have waited to have them until you could. It is both parents' equal responsibility so you can't blame him. If you can't afford to buy them certain things there are other ways to help them grow like teach them values and responsibility. You have the freedom to pursue a higher paying job if you choose. I grew up very well off with everything I could have wanted, but I grew up ignorant of responsibility and work ethic. I did well in school but that is about the only thing. It has been a hard and fast reality check living on my own and realizing if I wanted certain things in life, it won't be easy like high school was. My parents are amazing but I wish they would have taught me more about life and working hard. Your kids will have a greater sense of work ethic and not be entitled like I was. Like they said, it's only a negative if you see it that way. Just because you're poor doesn't mean you and your family can't be happy. Teach them that their worth is not defined by their status or their possessions. You should listen to more of these podcasts.

[@ZenDragoonYT]

Im sure i heard them mention they grew up poor in a home with alcohol and drugs. So priviliged is wrong. I think the message is that money isnt everything. Having enough to live without debt or stress is good. But not everyone needs to have millions for that to be the case. I also grew up lower working class. But i found my way out. I dont worship money. Its a tool.

[@symzie]

So you like talking about yourself and you've discovered that when you've made a load of money you don't need any more money. It's only Americans who think this is a revelation.

[@ZenDragoonYT]

I think you are looking at the info at a very shallow level

[@danielaravenous]

This is awsome, I love listening to you guys!
