“Dear Lucas:
I love your show and I have been a long time listener. I have taken your advice by my routine of daily pull- ups. I bought the yoga trapeze with the pull up bar several years ago. I put this bar in the kitchen to conveniently be able to do supported (with a band ) pull- ups, while drinking drinking my morning protein shake. Usually I will do 3 sets of 6 each morning and know that my grip strength and back are so much stronger, My morning routine will also involve some housekeeping in between as well. Now I am practicing handstands after my pull-ups, this only takes less than 10-minutes a day.
I am 61 years old, happily retired for about five years now. Financal freedom is a reality for me because of working through challenges of all the things I didn’t want to do, I persevered, and suffered a bit, but endured, and focused on financial security. Basically, as a single mom, living though several relationships, and finishing several careers. The thing that I am trying to point out is that most people that I know are not as financially fortunate and I am not a millionaire. Sure I own my own house, have the pensions, 401K, and seen that my son through college and has a a solid career of his own 🤗🤗. However, I see too many middle-aged people working so hard, perhaps they have more kids and grand-kids to worry about and may not retire until past 70.
The Buy Back Your Time is not realistic for most people in the working class world. As a working mother, I spent a lot of time teaching my son how to become a responsible adult. This was through life skills such as cleaning up after ourselves, contributing to the household, learning how to cook, grocery shopping, budgeting/saving money, doing the chores/home/work/practice piano/etc prior to the fun stuff. Basically, we usually can’t get away from stuff we don’t want to do…. unless maybe as a billionaire?
My family is from Orange County , I’ve always tried to follow in my uncle’s footsteps by the way he took care of his things: his physical/mental/body, house, yard, car, dog, etc. He kept everything looking clean/new including his physique. He loved washing the cars and always put gas in the cars for my aunt as well. While he loved my Aunt’s cooking. Sure they would have vacation homes in Palm Springs and Hawaii, but they always loved taking care of what they had.
I find the same joy in taking care of what I have. Sure I splurge on a vacation here or there. Sure, I go to my yoga classes 4-5 days week. But I always do some daily housekeeping as well as have ant extra couple of days to do some house-keeping and yard stuff. I think the most important thing is to take the best care of ourself first and no one is better to do that better than ourself. Also, taking care of our kids and pets are huge priorities and we cannot outsource that! Most importantly, if we can do the hard stuff first, chores, workout, responsibilities, and then spend time on guilty pleasures. For me, I love Netflix, Prime Video plus very economical and convenient. I do have a strict wakeup at 4-5 AM and go to bed about 7 or 8 PM. So it is fantastic to get my stuff done by 3 or 4 and get lounge time too. As a happily retired person, I am blessed that I am a routine oriented person.
I have been fortunate because I have always been motivated to exercise because I’ve had a huge appetite. My love of eating made me become a runner. I have actually starved as a kid and while trying to survive on minimum wage and this also has made me love food and want to work harder. I think, enduring hardships, suffering, and turning that around, learning about compassion for others … makes one more content later on because one knows the consequences of being hungry and not having during those hard times. Thus, loving life even more to enjoy the financial freedom because we actually made better life for ourselves. The point is, isn’t life about doing many things that we don’t want to do, but Must do because of the consequences?”
