    Good point, but it is easy to get sucked into the intense health industry right now. So be skeptical of purchases that are costly but “for your health” whereas they most likely provide minimal benefit. I simplified my nutritional supplement purchases a lot to a few core supplements that can be found affordably.

    $200 for a phone if you just use it to call and text. Phones nowadays are pocket sized computers. No need for a TV when you can watch everything right on your phone. Watch a movie, take a call, check email, scroll on social media-all on one device-its beautiful. So I can understand spending an upwards of $1500 for the camera, processing power, battery, ease of use, security features, screen resolution/durability, cool features etc. The problem is people who spend that kind of money on a phone every year when there are no justifiable upgrades from the previous generation.

    Love the advice as it pertains to investing too. 1. Wait 1-3+ days after researching before getting into a project->if you want it now, you're probably the exit liquidity of early buyers 2. Not making decisions when fatigued/emotional->wait until you're feeling gooood to make great decisions 3. Say no to "meh" or "kind of good" opportunties->go for the best ones that you're excited about-this will allow you to focus your energy/resources

    The truth is more important than the facts. Access to productive information is what we all need to become successful in life. To possibly create wealth good enough to retire, proficiency is indeed necessary; causing most affluent entrepreneurs to acquire the synergy of wealth managers that offers high-net-worth operations that encompasses all parts of a person’s financial life. Get yourself an aid.

    Agree... not to mention riding your bike when it's freezing cold outside, really warm, very windy, raining or snowing (if it's a long distance). Or there could also be some days when you are really tired and you are not really up for a 30 minute bike ride. If you can choose between car or bike, I think using your bike is a good idea to keep in mind for some specific days, but not necessarily as a daily means of transport. Anyways, great video by Nate, as usual!

    Sometimes sales can help save money. My favorite shoe is normally $60 a pair. They had a black Friday sale for 50% off. Bought 4 pair for price of 2. Basically bogo. But that saved me $120 for something I was going to buy eventually.
