Well that would be impossible to do considering I'm in my late 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement in my 60s, my goal is at least $2million.

Dear Tom, thank you for all this real, raw, down to the ground, ACTUALLY helpful and inspiring content! I discovered you and Lisa a few months ago, 2 years into terrible ruin... and i have to say you guys have been the “turning point” for me on so many fronts. Your respect and real thoughtfulness for others, in real life, practical terms, are deeply moving and motivating, as in : get up and DO IT ‘cos only you can. Thank you seems “short” of the mark... wish i could do something for you guys in turn .... Much love to you both from Greece!
Key Points 29:00 Tom says "It doesn't matter what you look at, it matters what you see" Here is a similar one: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" 29:48 Ask yourself "What would you love failing at?" "The success is not guaranteed. The struggle is". I really liked it when Tom said this because it reminded me of his course Mindset 101 on Impact Theory University. He said exactly the same thing there 30:20 People are going to win in this time. There will be people who come out of this huge. Example: Zoom 32:45 Brilliant exercise from Ramit: write on one piece of paper all the reasons things will not work. Another piece of paper: write all the reasons it will work. Then you get to choose which paper to read. Tear up the other one. Wow. This was insightful.

So many nuggets of wisdom...I love the financial advice and the dialogue on perceived failure/imposter syndrome. "Your mind will operate from a place of safety. Not excellence." 💣💣
Thank you for such a real discussion! And thank you for all the work/content you and Lisa provide!
In the middle of a pandemic my wife just negotiated a pay raise for her and all of her managers underneath her. She set it up right, she knew what she was looking for and had the backing to prove it. It's entirely possible people . You got to be valuable absolutely hard-working and do your due diligence before hand.
Hands down 🙌🏻 a must-watch interview! Loved the whole thing!
Love that this episode brought up the theory of having a pros and cons check list. My husband and I always do this when we are faced with a financial dilemma and need to make decision regarding money. First we discuss it, then we sleep on it, because one might be excited, and the other one not, then we sit down and do a pros and cons list. The answer is NEVER what we thought it would be, and of course it helps if you are both on the same page regarding money, because if you are not, that just makes money management worse!

“Most people’s mind operate from a position of safety not excellence.” Use something like a briefcase technique to showcase your excellence, and go on the offensive, instead of playing desperation defense. 👏

Our three largest expenses; 1) Our condo mortgage ($105,00 lef6t to pay off) 2) Our organic food (we eat three meals a day cooked at home) 3) Our out-of-pocket medical expenses. We are age 72 and 77, have health issues so we much eat a super healthy organic protocol and we must pay for our medical needs in order to get what we need. We cannot cut those if we want to thrive and or live. We have a strict budget and we do have a plan....we have been working that plan now for the past 27 years.
I love your show, Tom. And so glad you had Ramit on again.
2020 taught me to definitely go out and be an entrepreneur, finally go back to college and Do exactly what You want to be, get the hell out of debt and stay out of debt 👌his book actually changed my life!
Love Ramit , he changed our lives
When I see a hazard in the road I DON’T slam on the brakes, I slow down and swerve, moving forward but avoiding the hazard. That’s really what I do. In my vehicle and in life.
I’m not a manager nor am I the leader of a large team, but the advice I give to my colleagues who are scared to take opportunities and look for jobs is that it is a MARKETING AND SALES pitch. You already have the skills in the space, show employers how those skills will make them better. And that’s the briefcase scenario.
Thank you for this!
This was what I needed today! After hitting a brick wall for months of searching for answers. I could huge you both, thank you!
Love that conversation #REALTALK crystal clear and hands-on
I needed to hear this today - thank you.
Sound advice from both of you. Inspirational! God bless and stay well.
Great interview guys. I love the practical advice and actionable tips.
As always Tom you have done a Great job 👍
He's a absolutely correct on preparing a 90 day plan for the role you're interviewing for. At the very least a great idea is to have a resume addendum. This is basically details on your past accomplishments that you bring to the interview to refer to. The interviewer will ask for a copy when they see it. Take notes and ask intelligent questions.
I really messed my finances up staying with a former employer after my bankruptcy. So as people began to reach out to me for money, I sent them a copy of a book that really helped me. Some books are even doing this for free digitally. Talk about marketing!
Just what I needed to hear this very morning! I cut, but I think I can do better! The 2 Ton Telephone? That hit me because it's true. I did finally pick up the phone to tackle one challenge, but am saving the best for last....because it's the Scariest, and to try to start to turn it all around is going to take a lot of attention to detail, and a whole lot of paperwork that I fear will be confusing. I needed the confirmation I needed the push! Thank you!!
WTF. As a landlord that's the worse advice ever. Not every landlord is a multi millionaire. It's pretty messed up that the government is giving tenants a pass on not paying their rent without giving the landlords any financial compensation for the loss of rent. I'm blessed that my tenants are still paying me, but I know landlords who are losing their properties because of this unfair law. That's like you going to work and because the company you're working for tells you we're having financial problems so we're not going to pay you for the next six months but we still expect you to come to work every day until we get our money issues under control and the government tells you by law you have to do it with no regards to how you're going to FEED YOU'RE FAMILY!
Excited to hear from Ramit!
Thank you so much. It was such a great discussion!
The conversation here, just got me amped up for real...!
This should be an opportunity for us to get serious about money - thanks gentlemen!
All he’s saying is connect with your bill collectors. But understand that no landlord is going to wave your rent without you paying it back so be very clear about this payback plan.
During this covid I took the chance of starting a channel. I use to say I never had time, well thats no longer an excuse! Its time to move and not get frozen by this setback!

Such an awesome video!!! GREAT support!!!! Thanks Tom and Ramit
Really compressed audio for some reason Tom. I miss your real voice. Thanks for continuing to give us value and what you do. Please encourage your crew to experiment with different audio/streaming solutions. Know Rich Roll did a show with Zach Bush and mentioned he apologized for not having a real time interaction because of the delay as Zach was in Austria. It still sounded like a high quality production and hardly noticed a delay being it was webcasted. Made me think about a software like Vizzywig that does support a portal connect and quality may be compromised during the live stream. But when you play it back it’s like there is no compromise in quality including the video stream. Be like a two camera shoot in the studio. Don’t quote me on this software but seem to remember it offering these impressive features. Good news on Diamond Comics as they going to kick back up on May 20th. Look forward to getting your next comic. Lost my job as a event production technician(run camera, audio, set up lights and sort in a corporate environment)and been shifting gears like crazy as know it’s a fragile and a lot of things have to be healthy so I can actually work. I didn’t want the government payout even though was more than minimum wage. Regardless felt the right thing to do to keep going at it. Working at Amazon and been selling items on the side as that was my side hustle before this happened but it’s been going decently. I often see your Quest Cookies, Bars while working at Amazon. My creative gears been turning like crazy. Putting ideas and reading books how to start my own food item to offer to the market. I have this great idea as listen to so many podcasts like yours that the ideas of health keep coming back up over and over. Want to take them all and incorporate them into the foods I make. Have some crazy combinations in offers and the holes in the market as what is not offered especially in the ingredients department. Similar to say the guy who made Primal Foods brand. He started much later in his life. Inspired by him and your own brand. Hope all is well with you and Lisa. Be fucking legendary Tom.
*Two of my favorite people* 💯💃🎯
Really appreciate the advice on putting cash aside. All the advice I’ve gotten and bought into is that you want as little money in cash as possible (because of higher returns elsewhere), but this makes a lot of sense

One thought on unemployment: this is your own money, which has been withheld from paychecks for all the years prior to this event. There is no shame in using your own savings, in the form of government set aside from the money you earned previously
@yaritzal6360

I agree with you in people setting their pride aside and not feeling shame in claiming unemployment. At the least, we're experiencing temporarily what other people experience on a more regular basis. This situation is trying to teach us to be compassionate and understanding of others' situation. That said, I just want to make a correction on your statement. Employees don't pay towards unemployment insurance (UI), companies do. It's an "insurance" fund, funded by employers. The % they pay is based on their payroll $. Companies who have the highest layoffs (i.e. not-so-good companies who treat their employees as dispensable) are "punished" with a higher UI % rate. They have a higher chance of having unemployment claims filed by their laid-off employees, so the reason for the raise in % they pay. Employees pay zero towards UI. Employers pay it all.

If you can pay just pay most of these landlords are in the same situation and that is their source of income.
My husband and I got married at the very end of January (we were initially going to wait until May. So happy we didn't!) We simply took our immediate family down to the courthouse. We got catering from our favorite restaurant down the street. We had the reception at our house, which I decorated with tons and tons of flowers I purchased at Produce Junction. All in all, the total of the wedding including the cost of my dress (which was elegant enough to wear then, but can be worn again when the world gets back to some semblance of normalcy) was approx. $600. Remember, the wedding is about YOU, your SPOUSE, and your LOVE. It is not about impressing other people. The average American wedding is something like $30,000.
Ask yourself what I would love failing at Love it
I disagree with the $3 coffee. If you get one every day that you work which isnt uncommon for people. Take that from say the day your 20 to 65 when you retire at $3 a day with 9% interest a year that adds up to over 400k almost half a mill just by getting coffee every work day for 45 years Not to mention caffine isnt good for you
