29 Aug 2024 Im officially debt free!
Well done!!! Welcome!
Congratulations 🎉
Yayy 🎉
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
woohoo!
It's important to talk about the difference between dopamine and serotonin. Dopamine makes you want more. Serotonin makes you feel like you have enough and you don't need more. All that stuff that money can't buy - a good relationship, pets' love, friends, family, meditation, etc. those are the things that make you feel content. We tend to seek dopamine to make us happy, but it never will, because you will never have enough. We should be seeking serotonin.
absolutely!! I was thinking the same as they were talking about it, thank you for addressing it
Openly sharing your screen time is true vulnerability. Great job, guys!
We're doing No Spend September - first time to give it a try. 😬
Great episode, very down to earth
Read Dopamine Nation! Such a great book!
Social media is my kryptonite
I would disagree that things are less enjoyable today. In my life, everything is better.
It's unethical to participate in the French Bulldog industry. They should not be bred. But hey, at least you don't engage in the unethical credit card industry
Yeah I totally agree. Bulldogs and any animal that needs help with reproduction is absolutely unethical, the life these animals live are not good and they have lifetime disabilities and disorders, they’re doomed to die young and it’s terrible that people make so much money from it.
Rachel, I’m so with you about not being a dog person 🫣
And also, when you said “I end up spending more money” 🤣😅
Wish this was a daily show
No frfr, they make an amazing team frfr 💯.
Sameeee
Would they have a drinking problem then?
@@CoryJustus 😂
A million times yes please. I typed this, hit enter and George says “we always want more in this day and age”
Well, George (if you read this) - me, my wife, and my son did that whole McKay's (used book store) 5 store visit to get $800 credit. Yes, it was insane. Knoxville was the location where all the heat exhaustion stuff took place. We travelled from our home state of NC and ended in Nashville. We ended up with $840 credit each - and we visited you guys the next day down in Franklin. You and Dave were hosting that next day. You got the pleasure of meeting us.
$1,680 of McKay's store credit and meeting Dave and George: Priceless.
I'm his wife and I was here to say the same thing. It was SO worth it. McKay's mitigated disaster by allowing people to skip some stores. And seeing you and Dave on your show and learning more about the Battle of Franklin, and making it a trip for our family helped make it worth it. Sorry to take away your dopamine!
Also, using it for books George. Love you George. Also, Rachel's confusion about people wanting $800 for used books!! A lot of heavy readers were there too George! Nerds of all kinds.
I am NOT worried about George. The reason he feels like "things" mean less, is BECAUSE he is a dad now. He knows what's more important. Way to go, George!
Philippians 4:11-12
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Going out to eat isn't fun anymore 'cause the servers act like they don't want to be there and the quality of the food sucks. But I guess that's a good thing cause we eat at home more.
Yea, I don't find it enjoyable. Paying $100+ plus tip for mediocre food (sometimes bad food) sucks
Totally agree. This is so true. We just eat at home. So much cheaper.
Okay, hold on. I have a homesteading channel here on YT. One of George’s last comments was that if you want to get away from social media, homesteading is as close as you’re gonna get.
Nope! I have internet way out in the country with Starlink and I can promise you social media is still a huge presence for me and most other people. I deleted FB years ago, never really got into IG, won’t do Tik Tok ever, but RUclips… I can waste my life away listening to videos all day long!
Saaaammmmeeee. Going to pick more tomatoes for the winter pantry be back later....
Rachel putting George on blast 💥💣 0:29 😂
Yes, George.... a coupon code that works is a great D-hit!
yes to canceled plans! 🙌🏼 i love an unexpected free night
Rachel not being a dog person is not something I wanted to hear today.
After her sad story about putting lab down....well now that I think about it, that was more about Dave crying, not her
Rachel, I love that you are telling the truth… I can’t stand dog sniffing and slobber on me either. And that doesn’t make us bad people! Lol
George introducing Rachel to the idea of schadenfreude really captures their relationship well! 😊
Decluttering, throwing out stuff! Love it! My favorite dopamine rush! 😂
George introducing Rachel to the idea of schadenfreude really captures their relationship well! 😊
I get a huge pleasure hit when this show is posted on Thursday, which happens to be my day off. If it was daily, I probably wouldn't get the same pleasure rush.
You guys are so fun!!! Thank you for doing this show
“Back in the Pilgrim days” 😂 👏🏼
1 Timothy 6:6-8
But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world
SCIENTISTS say WE NEED 8 HUGS A DAY FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH 😊 (LOOKING AT ALL CAPS SHOWS I NEED A HUG 😂)
How dare u call Wall-e that old movie
I did the mckays road trip with friends. No ragrets here 😂
Agreed..payday and transfer to savings…quick rush but worth it
Rachel Cruze:
-Hates dogs
-Lays her seat all the way back, but only when tall people sit behind her
Girl your really ruining your chances of ever running for office ! ;p
You should do 75 hard George. Just go all into your fitness journey
This would be great. He could talk about his experience doing it. It’s hard.
Wow the dog will breathe on me .
😂 ya not an animal person
George is so emo
Great eppy!!! Love you guys. I’m doing a partial detox. Week nite wagon. No alcohol Sunday - Thursday. It’s gonna be brutal. 😂 that lemon drop sounds fabulous!! I❤🍋
'What a segway' George, you crack me up!
Funny enough. I am detoxing from sweets and processed food starting on 09/1.
That’s called addiction 😂
27:25 Actually George, you are my role model. (except I don't drink, love a good mocktail though)
dopamine and serotonine are very different!
Schadenfreude - shaa·duhn·froy·duh
We chose September to do no spend and I’m literally due to have our second child tomorrow 😂 poor planning.
John Piper's, Desiring God. Great book!
talk about not enjoyable...where did you bury Skylar?
The gift card thing sounds like debt waiting to happen.
You wouldn’t have died without something you never had though.
George, should we be concerned about you? Love this show!
Booooo! Boooo! A no "producer Skyler" episode! (" -.-)
I love no spend months! Love this show by the way!
True joy only comes from the Lord
SM Double H is always enjoyable. 🤓🤣
I’m giving up online shopping.
Just ate a cinnabon now i want another.
❤❤❤ needed this!
I started my second Whole30 Tuesday 🎉🎉
What?
This is such a cute and fun format for a financial show. Thanks!
It's not really a financial show.
My late wife had a rule.
If she did not wrar or use something for s year
DONATION TIME.
Having a time frame to get tide of sll het clothes. Was one of the greatest gifts. She left me.
17:55 Actually, I can't go to a restaurant and find anything that's better than what I can cook. Pre-pandemic, I could find some, but not now. Always a disappointment when a restaurant doesn't live up to expectations, especially if you've been there before. We prefer to cook at home, and save a bit of money as a bonus.
Another great episode of Smart Money Happy HALF Hour (wink wink)!!
Thank you Rachel! I use to be such a dog person but as I get older those feelings have changed. Thank you for being honest! 🩷
Love the show, and today’s was really extra special! Thanks guys!
I already planned a No-Spend month for September. I am looking forward to it. I like doing it every 6 months, at the end of summer and winter. So, detox for me will be NO AMAZON. OUCH.
Hi guys I felt a bit low today, but listening to this honest show, made me laugh out load, one of my favorite shows, I know Rachel you were not looking forward to it. You both bucked me up lov yeh xxxx🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like Rachel's honesty about dogs. Dogs clean their private parts by licking.
On another channel (Kate Kaden) we did a book club and read the 12 Week Year. The book is on youtube. Starting Sept 1st I am starting my next 12 week year. I am doing a low spend Sept, Oct and part of Nov, and not dining out, no buying clothes etc, walking 6 days a week, working some overtime and trying to save at least $5000.
This is a great podcast. Thanks for the content!
And thanks for the delete me and laurel road information; I’m looking forward to trying these helpful services
Great episode guys! Totally agree that this instant gratification era is not healthy. I love that budgeting makes me delay, and also that the "hit" I get from saving to SAVINGS is a bigger hit for me than spending. It's a rush - I love it.
That was nothing I average 13 to 14 hours of screen time a day.
Also already deleted Instagram and TikTok, so can’t detox from that
Did you know that the Dopamine hit you get from gambling is the same whether you win or lose...
I'm literally doing a detox next month going through a functional med. Doctor.
I heard about the McKays (used bookstore) thing and still wish I could have gone! McKays is my happy place.
Also one of the great Dopamine detox things is to chase Serotonin instead. That’s the other happiness hormone thats the high you get after doing something hard or accomplishing a goal.
For myself, I used to play Video Games too much sometimes. But now I make them instead, and getting a feature implemented or seeing a handmade 3d character run around is the best feeling ever.
But why didn’t better help sponsor this video? 😂
I read less these days cuz I get so caught up in scrolling that my time is spent there, unfortunately. I really need to work on that.
Finally…a photo of Winston! Been waiting for that. Thanks!
My dopamine detox os going to be being so handsome 🙂↕️
I really should detox from Facebook marketplace lol
So Proud of you George! You're a good father and husband.
My detox is to stop watching reels.
I can't believe she came out as a dog hater!
Can’t buy integrity…
Rachel is a red flag 😂
A no send month
Off of Facebook
I want to do a no spend month!
Best episode
Rachel is so real and confident 💪🏼😊
That comment about, yeah those instances make me spend more money, made me LOL
And George giving up being so kind 🤣🤣🤣 Man, this podcast and George’s channel episodes just crack me up. ❤️
😂 😢 😅
Rachel is a First Born Daughter, she knows what's important. With ya Rachel!
I thought her sister, Denise, was older.
@@bettedavis9261 Thank you, I was unaware that there was a first sister. Rachel, has a very responsible way that she seems to conduct her life, family, much like a first-born. I appreciate bettedavis9261 your sharing.
@@lovenature7823 ❤️❤️
So sad to see two Christians saying nothing brings them joy anymore. There is fullness of joy in the presence of the Lord Psalm 16:11
Really only George said it but I don’t think that was the point. Also, Christianity does not equate to joy or appreciation. There are Christian’s that unalive themselves.
I watched on Spotify this morning. I'm going to try to do a no spend September. I have to ask, when you are prepping for a no spend month, do you find yourself spending more the month before to get it all out of your system? 😅.
Yes 😅😅
George using the word ‘volition’- dopamine hit for me 😂 love big weird words
Capitalism fuels these addictions though.
Which is a good thing. Ever live in a communist country? It’s awful.
I hope George has eye liner on hahaha
Life is meaningless and all that we pursue is vanity…but WITH GOD, everything we do is given meaning and purpose. With God it is abundance even in our lacking. It is joy when there is no reason to smile. With God we are truly free to be in this world because we are free from the vain pursuits of materialism and worldly values. Everything we do, whether it’s washing the dishes, an average job like accounting, or feeding the homeless, is an act of worship as we do it to the glory of God!
