    Ed is young so I get his take on drinking. After about 30 is when I saw the trend with my friend group. At 35 most people I know barely drink. I stopped drinking at 33 when it noticeably impacted my sleep and didn’t have time to be sluggish or hungover

    If you make less money: fall in love with cooking, learn your parntner's tastes, and crush meals for them. A customized thoughtfully prepared meal is 1000x better than a bought meal. It has never been easier to learn even the most complex cuisines with YT, reddit, etc. I'm as whitebread and untrained as it gets but i now can cook a mean lasuni gobi thanks to YT.

      100%. Also useful for dating - cooking a meal is something that proves you have a skill, similar taste and costs much less. My rule was second date was always a home cooked meal.

    the obsession with needing alcohol to have friends or romantic partners must be cultural. i’ve personally never needed it for either. i will drink if i feel like it. but i can also go months or years without it and not even notice. it’s as important to my life as a handkerchief.

  • @espesq

    In a previous relationship, we split expenses on net income (post taxes, etc) and each hand our own pocket money. Eg I earned approximately 60% net income and therefore covered 60% of our household expenses. Loose math, we ended up with the same amount of pocket money. It worked well for us.

    Very nice podcast again!
    I love the recurring topic of this podcast of the importance of generosity.
    Interesting thought about alcohol and drinking. Very correct observation that loneliness and not hanging out together anymore has to do with less alcohol consumption. I am not sure though if I agree that young people should drink more in order to socialize better.
    But we should discuss much more, that health culture (sleeping well, eating well, sports, less alcohol) is an important factor why people spend less time together. Healthy living is strongly discouraged in most groups.

    I’d go further (in relation to Scott’s response to the Democratic Party) and say that the key going forward is not JUST for the Democratic Party to embrace the Middle Class, but for them to embrace EVERYONE who isn’t rich. Most Americans are poor, not by historical standards or by global standards, but by modern American standards, it’s just a fact. We have organizations that define “poor” a certain way to make it seem like it’s not THAT bad, but IT IS. If you haven’t already, please read the book White Poverty by Reverand Dr. William Barber II & Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove. They make a great case for the Moral Fusion Movement and the need for a Third Reconstruction. I’d love to hear you have a conversation with them about this topic.

    @JfromNJ 3 дня назад

    From a financial perspective, it would be interesting to know what percent of alcohol sales come from objectively inappropriate heavy/binge drinking. You could see an outcome where the percentage of Americans who drink moves very little, but those Americans drink *less* alcohol, perhaps significantly less, as Scott mentioned about himself...and that can still be very damaging to revenue.

    Being from Park City from 2002-2020 you can see the inflow of people into the town over the past 12 years. You see the increase in housing prices, restaurants prices, and most especially the prices on the mountain. However, the increase of wage rates is not comparable to everything else, the rest of the state of Utah’s GDP is not comparable to Park City in general but especially now with Vail buying the Canyons Resort in 2013 and merging with Park City Mountain in 2014-15 season. Utah is a state that relies on the tourist economy but the tourist industry do not give back to the state. It makes it harder for these workers to live within 5-10 mi radius. Especially as all routes to their mountain bases has tripled in the time spent to get there. For example, I lived 5 mi away and would take it 15-30 minutes depending on the route and timing, now it takes a hour minimum during its peak hours before the mountain opens

    The best advice for paying bills should be proportional to each others income. If one partner makes more then the other then figure out the percentage difference between the two different incomes and each pays that amount toward the bills. Then everybody contributes what is appropriate.
    If one makes 200k and the other makes 20k that’s 10% & 90% so one pays 10% of the total bills and the other pays 90% of the total bills and that way they are both contributing.

    Not sure about Sethi's take on renting. Landlords/ownership generally don't want to fix anything, and if they do it'll be the cheapest way possible. The dream of home ownership for me is less about an investment vehicle and more about security, stability, and responsibility.

    @kathleensport1259 4 дня назад +1

    The one thing about housing I've learned is this: If you're lower on the income ladder, get into a house as soon as possible. Those fixed payments are crucial to budgeting, especially as it will likely be harder to weather rent increases, let alone have any money left over to throw into investing. But if you're upper income? Likely better financially to rent and sock the leftover money you have each month into the market and see what comes down the pike. I always wondered why people would say, "owning a house doesn't make financial sense." That's often true if you're wealthy. Perspective and context is crucial to this discussion. Great episode

    • @TR-lh9yz
      @TR-lh9yz 3 дня назад +2

      If you watch Ramit's stuff, he's not against buying a house. He just says run the numbers first. People compare rent to a mortgage payment and forget taxes, insurance, maintenance, upkeep, etc. Rent is the most per month you pay for housing. Mortgage payment is the least you will pay. In the US people seem to get irrationally obsessed with real estate for some reason.

    • @jacobkummer2067
      @jacobkummer2067 3 дня назад +2

      I would disagree. What happens when your roof needs to be fixed? Your AC goes out? Your fridge or washing machine break? Most people low on the income ladder wouldn't be able to afford these. It's just not a black and white situation. Ramit isn't on the side of never buy, but run the numbers. You shouldn't be hard on either side realistically.

    @phenomz28 2 дня назад

    First episode I've ever had to down vote. I'm a big fan of Scott but this guest is straight ignorant. Calling NAR racist in its current state for sins that happened 50+ years ago. A lot has changed since then. Not enough, but a lot.
    Then downplaying the importance of homeownership. Buying a house is one of the smartest decisions that anyone can ever make. Renting is almost always the wrong decision. You're paying for someone else to gain equity. If you don't think you're paying for the maintenance in your rent, you're delusional. This is the worst guest I've seen on here.

    • @JayseabeeSTL
      @JayseabeeSTL 2 дня назад

      Sorry, but it really sounds like you did not give Ramit a fair shake. He has spent the past decade explaining to people why home ownership CAN be a wonderful choice, but sometimes it isn’t, and sometimes renting does make more sense. However, there are caveats, if choosing to rent instead of own, you must take conscious action to save and invest more because you aren’t automatically being forced to save for the future via paying off a mortgage and building equity in a home.
      Personally, I would love to own a home, but I am a data guy and in the current interest rate environment and with how affordable renting is in my area, it literally would cost me more to own, even over the very long-term (30+ yrs). Mortgage rates need to drop below 5% before buying begins to possibly make long term financial sense. Alternatively, if my rent begins increasing more than it has historically, then buying may also become a better option, but in the current high interest environment and in markets like mine where renting is much more affordable than owning, renting can make perfect financial sense.
