#130 Should you save for retirement or pay off debt?
March 13th, 2023 | 30 mins 36 secs
paying off debt, retirement
Have you thought about stopping retirement contributions because some finance guru told you to pay off your debt first?
Or maybe you aren’t sure if you should start contributing when you have debt to pay.
A lot of people will even tell you to go ahead and pay off the high interest rate first because it accrues more than the market….
Well today I’m going to discuss the actual numbers and how all that logic is flawed except for in a very very small fraction of the population.

#129 Deserve is Not a Currency
March 9th, 2023 | 13 mins 22 secs
budgeting, debt, goals, saving money
Have you ever really wanted something but knew you really shouldn’t buy it or at least should wait because you didn’t have the money?
Or maybe you couldn’t afford it at all but you really wanted it so you told yourself “I deserve it”.
Maybe it was the new car you really liked but the car payment was going to be a stretch and you’d have to work extra to make it work……every single month for 6+ years…..
But in your mind it would totally be worth it but you really wanted this new shiny car…
You could just stop eating out for lunch everyday to make up the difference right?
Or maybe cut cable or streaming services to help make it work.
You say things like “I work hard, I deserve it”
