You can afford anything, but not everything. We make daily decisions about how to spend money, time, energy, focus and attention - and ultimately, our life. Every decision is a trade-off against another choice. But how deeply do we contemplate these choices? Are we settling for the default mode? Or are we ruthlessly optimizing around a deliberate life? Host Paula Pant interviews a diverse array of entrepreneurs, early retirees, millionaires, investors, artists, adventurers, scientists, psychologists, productivity experts, world travelers and regular people, exploring the tough work of living a truly excellent life.

fuck that where the money come form? always tell people stop eat. crazy
Whatever the Big Bang thing is, but where was Mike hiding till now? He appeared today after 2010, I used to miss Mike a lot
Great video! Love you Annie!
The "Fire Movement" lost its way when "side hustlers" allied with "content creators" to make a flood of monetized branded overproduced social media "products". You consider yourselves an "industry"? What happened to "retirement"? You're not "serving a community", you're "exploiting an audience". This video confirms what I already knew. I don't expect this comment to survive for long (no doubt you have an employee screening them) but there it is.
Spicy take from Joe on bonds. I'd love to hear a larger discussion with him about it, especially comparing to the more conventional advice. Interestingly, I searched the channel for previous discussions and found a video from 7 years ago (!!) where Joe not only has the same opinion, but uses the same example of adding volatile investments to decrease overall volatility. That's some consistency! (And proves there's some resilience to the idea, since he still holds it 3 years pre and post covid).
Absolutely my biggest concern is healthcare... As we have seen in this country over and over it can literally destroy a person's financial security
Love this, thank you for conducting the interview!
Crazy editing on this. Yikes. Takes out all the pauses in the sound, so I guess makes it quicker to listen to but the visual looks super choppy and weird.
This is good, thank you.
only in the USA people have to pay for medicine while Gov send billions to other countries!
1:55. If a big weath transfer is about to take place first from the Silent Generation to the Baby Boomers , then from the Baby Boomers to the Millennials, where does that leave Gen X? 1965-1980's?
Thanks!!!
Thank you Paula & Laura for this great information!!
But women don't think down the line...they think in the presence and avoid accountability
I love your show and have been watching for a few months now. Just my two cents here, the new graphics are distracting, especially during the call-ins. Guest questions are a lot of info to follow normally, but it helped to see it in paragraph form on a plain background to get the details and gist. With the smaller bits of info and the animation in the background, I can't focus on the particulars. Also, three minutes is a long time to wait for the episode to get started. Not trying to be rude or offensive. I hope the feedback helps!
Hi Alicia -- thank you so much!! I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the show. Thank you for your feedback! A glimpse behind-the-scenes: We recently let go of our previous video editor. We're currently (paid) auditioning new editor applicants. Each editor applicant receives our brand guidelines (fonts, etc.) and then we tell them to enjoy creative freedom and show us what they can produce! This is the first of several videos which will have a drastically different style than usual, as we audition our new job candidates. (The next two videos scheduled -- interviews with Michael Kitces and Meir Statman -- each have a different applicant performing a test edit on each one.) Long story short, this isn't our new graphics style - it's the first of many samples of work from (paid) job applicants who are performing a test edit. Expect to see dramatically different formats, graphics, styles, etc. in the next several videos! :)
@@affordanything Thank you for the behind-the-scenes info! That's an exciting experiment. I like that viewers get to witness the applicants' debuts. Great to hear that all applicants are being paid for their audition. I'm such a fan of your show and really appreciate the reply!
🙏🏽 Thank you! It’s been a hugely educational experience on the hiring side, as well - I realize that my brand guidelines need to be far more robust and detailed! As of a couple of weeks ago, our guidelines were a few fonts, colors, and logos. As we move through this process, we’re adding heft to our brand style guide! It’s one of the many ways I’ve come to appreciate the overlap between procedure and creativity. Thanks again for being a huge fan of the show! 💛💛
@@affordanything It's cool that you learned more about your company through the process. I'm glad Afford Anything will be even better by the end of the process!
This intro is extra annoying
What luck Vivian! Too bad I did not have any experience like that, thanks for sharing your knowledge!😊
very good episode. Funny that lately I noticed that I applied a lot of what is mentioned.
Grow up and harden up. This is bullshit
Good Video. Thank you.
Just paid off my mortgage. Debt free and plan to stay that way.
GeoArbitrage is one of the most incredible ways to increase disposable income. Cities like Buenos Aires, for example, cost less than HALF of what a major US city costs.
Huh😂
Balancing this same situation now - move abroad in luxury, or spend 6 months and a day in the US at the same swell QOL presently.
This is amazing I think I'm a pessimist and people pleaser mixed with a lil procrastinator.
Good video!
Wow I couldn’t notice Joe! He always chins up on videos, throws me off for sec!
I'd be heading to Guatemala And if needs be I will be heading to Guatemala.
I never wore a mask. never vaxxed. i will never comply with tyranny
that are you smoking? I love it when work was able to be from home, and it sucked having to go back
It was odd when I worked from home before Covid people were like oh I wouldn’t like it everyday 😮 I loved it and wish I was still remote 100%. Now I get one day from home 🙄
I also check my accounts ( Vanguard, EveryDollar) everyday except Sundays. I’m not ready to admit that I have a problem 😂. I always obsess over something anyway, so I try to make sure that it’s a healthy thing: running, eating vegetables and fruits, traveling, reading, budgeting, saving, walking. I must add listening to Afford Anything to the list. I love your content and other podcasts like it.
One of the most slept on life skills... Wake up people..
Bali - great call. I might have to pick that as well. Loved it when i went 8 years ago!
The anonymous call was my favorite - Geo Arbitrage!
Great episode!
Would putting away 10% for every dollar Be a good business idea for taxes?
Better than nothing
Um ..no
Glad to hear both of you talk about different factors within the stock market such as size and value! Also glad to hear you talking about how gold can be a great diversifier in a portfolio when you're drawing down a portfolio. From what I've learned from Frank Vasquez at Risk Parity Radio, it sounds like a no brainer to include these different asset classes in a portfolio (assuming you can stay the course). Also I thought long term treasury bonds have a negative correlation with the overall stock market?
I have read 73 books in 84 days, its called the bible
Some of this advice is bootsy
Any example?
Lmaaooo. She’s half right.
Cheers on prosopagnosia.
