831-"An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott
40:00
Today, in celebration of the American holiday "Thanksgiving Day," I want to share with you a recording of short story written by Louisa May Alcott, called "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving." The audio file has no commentary—it's merely an unabridged reading of the story—and is suitable for you to share with your children as a worthwhile story to enjoy this time of year. But this story is filled with financial lessons for those with ears to hear. As you listen to a life of long ago (circa 1830), I'd encourage you to reflect on the life that you and I now live in comparison. For me, this reflection fills me with Thanksgiving, which is the starting point of living a rich life now. You are rich. I am rich. Let's realize it and act appropriately. Joshua
Here are a few poem and prayers of Thanksgiving you may enjoy as well: O Lord, that lends me life, May all who share these gifts today Be the meal of beans or peas, Prayer Give us courage, gaiety, and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften us to our enemies. Bless us, if may be, in all our innocent endeavours. If may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come. May we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune loyal and loving to one another. As the clay to the potter, as the windmill to the wind, as the children of their sire, we beseech of Thee this help and mercy for Christ's sake. Amen. |

Short Update: Courses, Consulting, and What a Man Really Needs
13:32
Quick update:
“I’ve always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can’t afford it.” What these men can’t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of “security.” And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine – and before we know it our lives are gone. What does a man need – really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in – and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That’s all – in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be – bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?” |

REPLAY 192-Recession is Coming: How to Not Get Laid Off In the Next Recession
59:55
Originally released May 13, 2015. And just as important today. ------------------------------------------- For most of us, our jobs are the economic engine that drive every aspect of our financial plan. One of the worst things that can happen is to lose a job. If the engine on your car dies, you're going to be stuck by the side of the road for a while. That's not pleasant for anyone, even if you're stuck in a safe area. But, if you're driving up a mountain (paying off debt and digging yourself out of a hole), having your engine die can be disastrous. And, if you have a destination in mind (financial independence), losing the engine in your car will at least delay you from reaching your destination. So, the key is plan in advance to not lose the engine. Make sure you're doing the things you need to be doing now to avoid being laid off. Obviously, you can't guarantee that you'll never be laid off, but you can do a lot to improve your possibilities! On today's show, we cover:

637-How to Find an Excellent Wife: The Decision
01:08:42
One of the most fundamental decisions you can make in life is to marry or not to marry. If you marry, your life, your budget, and your career will look dramatically different than a peer who remains unmarried. Marriage can be one of the biggest blessings to your life, resulting in greater happiness, better health, a higher income, and more wealth. Marriage can also be one of the greatest curses you can experience and it can devastate your emotional state, your physical health, your career, and your wealth. So, you need to choose wisely. In Part 1 of this series, I discussed various ways that you can prepare yourself to be attractive to an excellent wife. In today's show, I do my best to give you an honest assessment of the risks involved so you can choose whether you desire to marry or to remain unmarried. I hope it's thought-provoking. Joshua

632-Asset Protection Planning for Mere Mortals - Part 10 - Personal Property Exemption Planning
01:19:03
Today, we continue our Asset Protection Planning series with a deep look at the Personal Property Exemptions. I've never heard asset protection planners give much attention to the Personal Property Exemptions. But that's understandable to me.

But, for a "mere mortal," I think there's a really good argument that the personal property exemptions can be really important. Tune in to the show to hear why! Joshua
