      @@xpallodoc1147 I like to live comfortably. I love my house to be full and have quality furniture. Kids can tear cheap stuff up quick without trying so I prefer my peace of mind. If my kids jump on my 3000 couch it’s nothing. You spend most your life in a bed. I have a family so Everything I listed is based on my experience your free to buy what you want. I have a Tesla I prefer not to depend on gas economy to get around. I pay almost nothing in maintenance. And I use solar to charge it

    Great video! I especially agree with the one of buying non-fiction books.
    A great purchase for me was buying a guitar that is easy to play. I previously had an acoustic guitar that sounded great but it was hard on my hands because the strings took a lot of strength to press down on. Once I got a guitar that was comfortable to play, my practice time went way up.
    Whenever you really want to invest in a hobby/passion, sometimes buying equipment that is high-quality will motivate you to keep developing that hobby. In other words, if you buy a really cheap crappy instrument you may never feel like playing it (but of course don't over-spend on a hobby before you know if you'll even like it).

I’m kind of a hater of pickleball (only because they are taking over so many courts in Washington and no new tennis courts seem to be being made) so originally when y’all were getting into that I was a little… bummed, but I know I’m biased! Anyways so happy to see how much joy tennis has brought to you, and how you feel about what you’re doing for exercise is what’s most important. This list is actually so well balanced and I appreciate it. Going to look into the book recommendation!

    I agree with all except the nonfiction books. I personally just don’t get on well with self improvement books, even though I tried so hard in the past and read many of them. Now I will only borrow them from the library since I never end up going back to them after I’m finished reading and usually don’t even enjoy the process of reading.
    Books I will spend money on are fiction books from used book stores or library sales locally and when I travel. But I still read more of those from the library than I buy, and rarely buy a full price new book.

    I messed up bad with a stock in 1986. I had $7500 I was gonna put into a stock at .10 per share which would have given me 75,000 shares. Had the money doing the deal with the stock broker. At the last minute I decided to buy a vacation to Tahiti & a couple of exotic Parrots. That stock right now would be worth as of Friday 5/10/24 $8,958,384,000. Plus getting .75 per share quarterly which would be $64,800,000 per year. That stock was Micro soft. I still kick myself in the a55 for backing out at the last minute.

    Those who say that always pans are soo good must not cook often, or mainly eat light meals, or change pans frequently, because always pans are very easy to burn and discolor. Teflon is also good but cheap, the only thing to be careful about is not to scratch it with bones or metal, and throw it away if it is ruined. Brands such as Ninja have higher quality Teflon pans that can even be put into the oven. Always pan is not real ceramic, it still has nonstick coating and is also toxic. Please note that their advertisement says that it does not contain these toxic substances, not that it does not contain any toxic substances. Even worse, if your always pan is not in a good shape and you don't want to replace it because it's expensive.

      The platform is honestly not as important as just doing it, but you can use fidelity, vanguard, Charles schwab, Ally. I use Ally. I would recommend getting your account set up online rather than an app, but maybe I'm just old. Opening a Roth IRA would be my first recommendation to anyone who has not done so. You can contribute $7k a year as long as you have $7k in earned income. For more advice on investing you should really look at UA-cam channels focused on that. Erica taught me is a good one. I love the money guy show as well. The book by Ramit Sethi called I will teach you to be rich is a good roadmap as well.
