“Far too often, when I read/listen to personal finance articles from “mere mortals,” I find that their advice is to cut EVERY cent of unnecessary spending, which—to me—is very isolating and unrealistic. This often means: buy the cheapest groceries possible (even if they aren’t the healthiest options), cut all cable or entertainment subscriptions (magazines, Netflix), and never eat/go out.
Is this a prescription for acquiring/compiling cash/assets? Absolutely. But, is it living a life? To me, no. Certainly, because life is a series of experiences and our years are never guaranteed.
The “How to Money” guys clearly allow themselves the occasional indulgence (craft beers on every podcast), vacations with family, and date nights with their wives. I believe that they have an excellent and realistic point of view in creating wealth—both in life experiences and assets.
Worth a listen!”
