Monica if you see this, eye surgery was the best thing I have done for myself. It opened new worlds to me, especially as an artist as I had not realized how my eyesight had limited me. Best wishes on your decision.

So true Courage to be present 😊 I’m willing to listen ❤

This was so powerful! I watched your documentary and then created a video about it myself. You really made me think about what I spend and how I could reduce my spending.

Thank you, I really like T.K.'s example of the puppy being a bridge 😃

[@UnchainedRain7]

Could you please publish an episode on decision clutter? That would be helpful ❤

Third option: Do Nothing.

I’ve never taken a nap but maybe I should. I usually feel more tired if I don’t move around during the day like going for a walk or stretching.

I like that money doesn't buy you time!!!

[@Rae04t8]

Money can't give you the courage to be present

Why did you not notice the fact, that Monica longs to spend time in the mountains? Also, you never explored possible downsides? Anything irreversible you do to your body comes at a cost. Eyesurgery may go well, or may go wrong or have side effects like pain. Pregnancy can affect your eyesight, so I would wait until after. Regarding the tattoo, I have one word for you: sarkoidosis. Also if your future self regrets the tattoo, removing it is painful and costly. Monica could take a trip to the mountain for a fraction of the cost

Personally it makes sense if you can have lasik- you will spend that money on glasses or contacts anyway. I’m not a tattoo person, if you have all your necessary expenses paid for and you want a tattoo- go ahead. We all make choices with money everyday- I choose vacations over fancy clothes, cars and other things I could live without.

I just watched their Netflix documentary. Why on earth is Dave Ramsey on there talking about minimalism? It just shows you how out of touch these two guys are to feature Dave Ramsey who has got to be the most conspicuous consumer you’ve ever seen in terms of the amount of stuff this guy owns. how can these 2 be so tone deaf? Sheesh
