Episode notes
Decide Heart Or Head Before Joining Family Business
- If you choose the family business for money, intentionally build meaning outside work to avoid long-term soul-drain.
- Ask whether the choice is heart-led or head-led before committing to a comfortable fallback.
Choose One Car Until Debt Is Cleared
- Stay a one-car family while paying off $13,500 and use commuting time productively to stay motivated.
- Pay cash for the next car by saving small amounts rather than taking on a new payment.
Pay Debt First Before Investing Extra
- Prioritize paying off debt rather than investing extra dividends when debt exists; regain income as your biggest wealth tool.
- Pay minimums everywhere and throw extra cash at the smallest balance until debts are gone.
