The Permaview Challenge - What Are Your Goals?

Almost as many respondents reported affording travel and leisure time with family in the doubling challenge as they did in the first question. Just asking to double that list, which seems that this is an objective that's not universally because a lot of 100% of people chose it, but a ton of people didn't identify it at first. So then in the third question where we did introduce the permaview categories, a lot more people articulated goals related to finding and affording engaging hobbies again.

Episode notes

We recently created and conducted a very interesting survey based on financial goals, and today, we get to share some of the data we collected and the answers that were given to the questions. Although there are some definite limitations to our expertise as surveyors and data collectors, the findings are most definitely illuminating, surprising, and useful. Listeners will get to hear a bit about the process of building the survey as well as some of the raw numbers and data before we get into the list of goals that were submitted, collated, and ranked. We also share some of the ways that these were split across demographics such as age and gender. Apart from this focus on the survey, we share some thoughts on Eat the Rich, Coin, and The Next Millionaire Next Door, and finish off the show with some very impactful letters from listeners that we have received recently.
