Trading time for money. Most of us do it. In fact, before financial revolutionary Vicki Robbin (find her on past episodes), the practice was even more prevalent. Chad Carson is a real estate investor who believes that if you're building a pile of assets, often less can be more (especially if it's slightly hands-on like real estate). Using his own journey and real-life examples of other people, Chad talks us through the "trading time for money" connundrum, and hopefully helps us that Go Big or Go Home may not be the only approach to living your life.
We even talk trading time for money in our headline today. Amazon and other companies are calling people back to the office. Many are fighting this, wishing to spend their career at home. If that's you, what do you do? Do we work better in the workplace or from home? We debate this (heatedly) on today's episode.
How about someone who wasn't trading time for money? We'll cover that in Doug's trivia segment. Before players were paid, they had to find their own way...and we bring you a question about the Heisman Trophy in honor of football season kicking off.
And, to keep the "trading time for money" trend going...today's anonymous caller traded time for money which included a pension! She wonders if she should take a lump sum or the money monthly...and of course, we have thoughts to help her.
I think we have a theme! Trading time for money may not be the best path toward your goals, and today we hope you begin thinking how to exit that approach to life. Thanks for hanging out with us!
