  • How is your relationship with money?
    Most of the Stoics, ancient or modern, built some kind of wealth. In fact, if you study any successful man or woman, you will inevitably find that they followed-sometimes unknowingly-many of the principles, habits, and mindsets at the core of Stoic philosophy.

    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

    I think the concept of "enough" applies to more than just money.
    My yoga teacher often said, "This moment is perfect, exactly as it is." When I had my leg amputated last year, I tried telling myself, "My body is perfect exactly as it is." I could never make myself believe it, so I tried, "This body is awesome exactly as it is." That went better, it almost landed, so I kept it for a while. Then five months after the operation, I came to, "This body is enough, exactly as it is."
    I've kept that. So far.

It stuns me enormously the way that I go from carrying on with a typical way of life to making over 63k each month through consistently compounding my income via assets to create more cash flow. I grew to a 7 figure well-diversified portfolio knowing where to focus having exposure to different prolific investments mainly savings account, stocks, bonds and high yield dividend funds.I've gleaned some useful knowledge throughout recent years that there are a lot of plenty opportunities in the financial markets;all it takes is just to focus on the right thing.

    Yes. The strength is in accepting, rebuilding perception. SERIOUS strength here. I have a community that looks to me for this, sharing, giving, and understanding. I've been following these principles for decades, and have developed a gift to give others that has been well recieved and sought for.
    What I find hard, is not having enough for my kids, trying again and again. Believing in myself, yet not getting far enough. I personally can find wealth in what I have, and share, and have found joy in the connection and respect. But, making my kids live in poverty, because I can't figure out how to be in a better place. Cuts me to my core. Helping others, and still being in a place of struggling to give food.
    Will they be stronger, because of lack? Or because I have a sense of "wealth" in our lives, with or with out ability, or stability? I have no idea. I hope so. But I've seen so so so many falter without. So I have to try harder somehow. Be gone more. Live up to the absent father cliche. Yet still not give the stability I believe could make a difference.
    Where is the piece I'm missing?
    I could be the island fisherman, who never has enough, but has enough. Effectively leading by example. And I'm about to lose our home again, 3rd time. How can I possibly show them, that it's ok, because we have love?
    It's so inspirational to hear these things that I've come to know and believe, long before finding this channel. I'm not discovering what will help me make a difference. Which honestly leads me to think, this is for people with money. Not people who actually struggle, wether or not that struggle is in the mind. Because i know better. And yet I'm still here.

      30 years ago I was you. My kids are grown now and looking back we all talk about those tough years. My sons (I have 3) grew up with these basic teachings. Although I didn’t know about stoicism. There were times we had to make a meal out of nothing. They joked that I was the worst cook…but I always reminded them that we didn’t always have all the ingredients. We got imaginative. I always told them that people who aren’t rich in money have to be creative problem solvers. We as a family were rich in so many ways. Happy.
      We couldn’t take vacations or enjoy things that others had. I drove a very old car. So we went to the river and I taught them how to catch crawdads. Taught them how to hunt and fish. How to respect nature. My sons only had me. And I worked long hours to provide for them.
      Kids are young for such a short time. If you invest in them for those first ten years, they become your best work. Things got easier but to this day we value all the right things in life. You can’t buy it. It’s something you earn.
      Thankfully they all live better than we did back then. They are frugal with themselves but not stingy with others. They remember that one reason we survived was by taking in another mother and her kids. We shared expenses for several years. That’s how I kept our home. I knew her, so it wasn’t like taking in strangers. It worked for the hardest years.
      I don’t know your situation but I believe you will figure things out. You’re doing fine. It will be okay. Look back on your hard times and have a laugh.

    The question of wealth and whether having too much is a problem is a question of civilizational importance. For Socrates, the significant category concerning wealth is need, as distinct from want or desire. There is a root principle here that we can put this way:
    1. Human life consists essentially in living well and pursuing the higher things.
    2. Material wealth should serve this end, not hinder it.
    3. When wealth is pursued and used in view of real human needs (understood broadly and to include needs of others) than it serves truly human life.
    4. When wealth is pursued and used for desires in excess of genuine needs, then it hinders truly human life.
    The truth of the fourth proposition is difficult to see and difficult to defend. It is even more difficult to live. But the wise, like Socrates, assert it.

    Working with a financial specialist can help you get ready for life. Since I was actively cashing out from my portfolio and finally made over 370k just in the first quarter while everyone else was lamenting the downturn, I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Rodger Michael Karl early this year. Michael Rodger Karl has helped us with debt repayment and retirement planning.

    Fellow Bastropian here. Great lesson that I enjoyed and benefit from. But I do wish you would acknowledge people who are literally too poor to begin. That is a real state of being that deserves acknowledgement. Quite a lot of people lack "bootstraps".

    • @Somewhere-In-AZ

      Ahhh, I hear you. There are (or have been) times when my focus was hard on what I didn’t have. No food in the refrigerator. No phone in my house. No gas in my car. But I began to realize that I had a refrigerator. I had a house. I had a car. These are huge things. I had the dream that things would get better. Value poverty. Poverty teaches you to be creative. A wealthy person is never tested the way a poor man is. They will never understand what it’s like. The rich are lacking in an appreciation for simple things.
      You have access to the internet. A wealth of knowledge that just one generation ago was impossible. Sometimes the bootstraps are what you need to design for yourself. Imagine trying to pull your boots on and thinking: you know what would help is a tab on each side. Cut them out of scraps, sew them on, and there you go. Scraps! Not gold inlaid expensive tabs, just throw away scraps. Get smart. That’s the easy part.

    • @flowerfarmerscott
      @flowerfarmerscott Рік тому +1

      Many people don't have a car, refrigerator or the internet. I grew up on the Choctaw res. Most of my friends' families had no television or car and close to half had no phone. I agree that hardship is instructive but the p"poverty" that you experienced was in your mind.
      Service in the military was my only salvation and it was 4 years doing something that was morally repugnant. I've been quite successful but my cousins who weren't were no lesser people than me

I loved this video so much since they are things I have been slowly coming to the same conclusion but your video just really put it into perspective. I know you have been bothered about the fact that people see stoicism as only for rich people and I'm glad you found a way to educate everyone in a way everyone can benefit form these values. Thank you.

    Epictetus's view on cheap vs expensive possessions is skewed in my opinion.
    My perception of his stance is: you cannot allow yourself to buy something expensive because the world will steal it from you.
    So it is better not to invest or have nice things.
    If you live in poverty and your car is stolen... you cannot simply "just" go out and buy a cheaper car because it will still cost you as well as additional expenses.
    What if you were depending on your car because of work, and you live far from town because renting an apartment is out of your budget.
    Say you and your partner saved up enough hard earned money for a long time, enough money to buy a family home...
    and suddenly your home gets destroyed, burnt down or whatever... along with valuable and priced possessions that are dear to you.
    Now you're just supposed to accept that loss. Accept that after many years of saving up, hours of work, effort and etc... you just move on?
    Don't get me wrong! Stoicism is great on many levels and i try to practice it every day... I just find it some times to be too cynical, black and white or whatever you want to call it.
    And yes, i did exaggerate some of the examples... Because that's the reality some people face.
