In today's episode, Bex Scott shares vintage advice and tips for the retro homemaker from “The Homemaker's Encyclopedia - 1952” book that she recently acquired. Featuring of-the-time shopping advice, meal ideas, kitchen planning suggestions, and more, this is a genuine blast from the past glimpse into the housewife's day-to-day mealtime expectations. Join Bex for a trip into the past and learn some new (old) ways to shop and cook to please your family. “The Homemaker's Encyclopedia -1952” includes such chapters as “Marketing Know-How”, “Different Items You Can Stock in Your Larder”, and “How Much Is Enough”. The author encourages women (the target audience for this book since it was women, the wives and mothers, who did all the grocery shopping, meal planning, and cooking in the 50s) to be unafraid of experimenting with “new foods, new recipes, and new ways of cooking”. She maintains that careful planning will enable women to provide balanced nutrition and budget-conscious meal preparation for their families. Bex also shares an amusing section on grocery store etiquette (including the gem “Dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside”) and specific kitchen design shapes that maximize efficiency in prep and service. For lovers of vintage, retro cooking ideas, and amusing throwbacks, this episode is a must-listen. Resources discussed in this episode:“The Homemaker's Encyclopedia 1952: Food-Buying and Meal-Planning” photo—Contact Rebecca Scott | Pyrex With Bex: Website: PyrexWithBex.comInstagram: @pyrexwithbex—TranscriptBex Scott: [00:00:02] Hey everybody, it's Bex Scott and welcome to the Pyrex with Bex podcast where, you guessed it, I talk about vintage Pyrex, but also all things vintage housewares. I'll take you on my latest thrifting adventures, talk about reselling, chat with other enthusiasts about their collections, and learn about a bunch of really awesome items from the past. Subscribe now on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you love listening to podcasts so you don't miss a beat. Bex Scott: [00:00:31] Hey everybody, this is Bex Scott and you are listening to the Pyrex with Bex podcast. On today's episode, I thought it would be fun to go through a newly acquired book that I have called The Homemaker's Encyclopedia Food Buying and Meal Planning. Now this beauty is from 1952, so it is exactly what you might expect. The content is all about the woman being at home being the homemaker, the man going out and working his 9 to 5 job and coming home to his children and his wife being ready to serve him his meal and for him to relax with a drink in his hand. And I wanted to read some excerpts of this book to you because it was honestly very entertaining to read and to just note how different times are now than they were before. In my household right now my husband does all of the cooking. I like to do the cleaning. We both work and we both equally contribute to raising our three kids, and it was just really interesting to read through the difference in how they used to do things. And I know a bunch of you can probably remember this from your childhood, maybe your parents. That was the dynamic for them back in the 50s, and it would just be interesting to hear your take on things in your memories of how things were. Bex Scott: [00:02:11] So I wanted to start off by going through the introduction, because I believe that this gives you, as it says, a good introduction to this interesting book. So it says "Every homemaker is conscious of the need to try to get the greatest value for the money she can spend. How to do this while still continuing to provide meals that are nutritious and varied, is the subject of conversation whenever good housewives get together. Books such as this can be of great help. In an interesting fashion with easy-to-follow suggestions, the author ranges over the fields of marketing and menu planning in an effort to help you in your daily program". Now, when they say marketing, this is kind of embarrassing because that's my field of work. I'm in marketing. And when I read that, I was really confused about what they were talking about. Marketing is actually going to the supermarket. So yeah, that was an interesting enlightning fact for me. "While keeping the main objective in view, that of securing the most nourishing foods at the prices you can pay, she nevertheless succeeds in proving to the reader that this branch of homemaking need never grow uninteresting or monotonous, just as the meals you serve need never become dull for your family. The willingness to experiment, to try new foods, new recipes, and new ways of cooking should be part of every housewife's equipment. In many an old-fashioned American household, the food followed an unvarying pattern: a roast on Sunday, hash on Monday, chowder on Friday, beans on Saturday, or whatever". Or whatever. "Before the family entered the dining room, they knew exactly what would be on the table". Bex Scott: [00:03:58] Growing up, we had roast every Sunday and that was honestly the best day of the week for me. My mom's roasts, they were amazing. And when we go back home to visit with them, my mom still likes to make a roast for all of us when we get together. "Most younger women are more flexible than the old-time cooks. They are learning some of the secrets of using unusual flavor through spices, herbs, and sauces to borrow from other nations some tricks of applying imagination to the food they serve their families. American menus would be the poorer without Swiss and Italian cheeses, Hungarian goulash, French and Vienna breads, chili con carne, chow mein and chop suey, Irish stew, frankfurters and sauerkraut, England's plum pudding, or whatever your particular favorites happen to be. Bearing this in mind, you need never be afraid to experiment or pioneer in foods or methods. In this book, along with practical advice on efficient shopping techniques, cooking shortcuts, and dollar stretchers, you'll find a view of meal planning as a family affair. To many women, marketing and cooking is a burden because they do all of it alone. The author suggests ways in which the other members of the family can help. Father with the marketing, the children in preparing meals and helping to serve them. Making these projects a part of your family's life seems a practical application of homemaking. That art, which is, in the last analysis, the most important profession open to any woman". Bex Scott: [00:05:28] So now we get into the good stuff. So we've been introduced to the book, know a little bit about it, so part one is meal planning. "Number one, a good meal doesn't just happen. The experienced traveller knows that the success of a trip depends on thorough, beforehand planning. Just so homemakers whose meals get consistent rave reviews from family and friends will tell you that a good meal is made at the meal planning desk rather than at the cook stove". And there's a nice picture of a woman sitting at her meal planning desk, and it says, "when you plan ahead, you can relax and enjoy meal times too". I can tell you that my husband doesn't have a meal planning desk, but I'm going to ask him now if he would like one, and I'll let you know what he says. Okay, so it says, "and while impromptu meals can be lots of fun once in a while, a steady succession of haphazard conglomerations tells its story in flurry and worry, not to mention the added expense which substitutes for proper planning. Your family will probably be most interested in how the food looks and tastes, and in whether you are calm and cheerful or cross and worn out when you join them at the table". I can tell you that our two sons could care less what the food looks like. They are more interested in how it tastes and how quickly they can consume it. "You, on the other hand, will be equally concerned with balancing the budget and the nutritional scale, for you know that the actual health of your family is dependent upon the meals you serve. Every smart woman knows that you can lead a husband to vitamins, but you can't always make him eat". That is something that I have never heard before. "This holds true of children as well and harping on food values usually creates eating problems rather than converts to balanced nutrition. When you plan ahead, you can relax and enjoy meal times too, secure in the knowledge that you are giving your family food they need in ways they enjoy it, with a maximum of economy and a minimum of work". Bex Scott: [00:07:39] And then it goes into "four ways to help you turn meal planning from a hand-to-mouth operation into a pleasant and worthwhile habit". Next up, this is a little pull quote that I had to share with you guys. It says "Entree, usually a made-up dish of an unusual food". So if anybody ever asks you what an entrée is, please be sure to use this definition. Okay next up we have the elements of a successful meal. "When you get right down to the business of meal planning, you must remember to coordinate a number of other factors with your four menu factors of: number one nutrition values, number two economy or money-saving, number three efficiency or time and effort saving, and number four" is my favorite "honest to goodness pleasure in eating". That's why I eat. Not to survive. I eat to enjoy and experience the pleasure in eating. "So you may want to introduce new foods, provide an invalid diet or entertain company on a budget. You may decide to streamline the family's collective waistline through a high-protein but low in calorie diet. Or you may yearn to cut down on dirty dishes and utensils so as to have more time for after-dinner fun with the family. And don't think for a moment that to do all these things, you're going to have to sacrifice personal or family preferences and foods, or throw out the window sectional or national ways of eating that are dear to your heart and traditional in your family. Actually, whatever you want to accomplish through your meals, within reason, of course, can be yours if you plan it that way and then follow through to the best of your ability". Bex Scott: [00:09:27] Next, it says "nutrition needn't be complicated. Once upon a time, you may have worked your way through a school course on home economics. Remember the complicated charts of vitamins and minerals, the graphs of calories and carbohydrates, and the mystic terms you studied? It was all very complex, and you may or may not have absorbed enough to apply to your own food problems when you set up housekeeping. Today, a very simple and pleasant formula has been devised to help you see that your meals are going to nourish your family by supplying the foods and food elements that are needed for good health. You don't have to worry about each individual vitamin and mineral. Instead, you follow the basic seven food group outlined here. And if your family eats the suggested number of servings from each group, you can rest assured that their food needs will be well supplied". Bex Scott: [00:10:17] Next up we have "Part two, marketing know-how", not the marketing I thought it was. "How to shop: attitudes and ideas. With the caveman, getting food was a matter of tracking it down, whacking it over the head, and dragging it home. It was dangerous, yes. Monotonous? Hardly". This is a good intro. It's a solid start to this chapter. "Today, the getting of food or shopping is much simpler, yet much more complex. While the caveman never had an opportunity to choose from the marvellous array of foods to be found in the modern market, neither did he have to cope with nutrition or decide which of 65 varieties of vegetables was the right one for him". Man, times are tough for those cavemen. "Small wonder that today's homemaker finds shopping such a challenge. With so many things to choose from, how is she to know which foods were stocked with her in mind? Actually, marketing can be a job in which the whole family takes part. Once upon a time, men played a large role in buying the family food in this country. Then it became exclusively the woman's province. Today, Dad is not only bringing home the bacon, but buying the groceries too, especially on weekends. Current figures show that at least 25% of the groceries in this country are bought by men. And if you can make shopping a real family project by getting dad and the children into the act, you'll be doing a real educational job as well as making fun time for something that might be just another chore". Bex Scott: [00:11:47] Okay, here are the "certain fundamental things to remember in shopping. Choose the right store. Some books on food give glowing descriptions of the joys of searching out rare spices and unknown foods at little shops, buying bread here, meat there and cheese somewhere else, and so, on until you've been all over town assembling your groceries. And indeed, this is the way that housewives in many other countries have to shop. But in the United States, the large market with every kind of food possible assembled and spread out in orderly rows containing everything plainly visible and clearly marked, has become such a tradition that few families would know how to operate without it. Here you see women in mink pushing carts next to women in shabby coats, all bound together in an effort to get the most for their money. Certainly, there are not many women who would deliberately spend enough time or shoe leather to shop item by item in different stores. One big factor that has played a part in the growth of such large markets has been the fact that with their cash and carry policy, and with everything arranged for self-selection and self-service, your food dollar really goes for food, not for service. On the other hand, the smaller grocery stores make up in service what it lacks in savings. Just be sure that you really need credit, telephone shopping service, and delivery, before you become a steady customer at such a shop, for you may be sure that you pay for these services and added food costs, and this is only fair for it costs your grocer extra to provide them. If you're working or there is a new baby or illness in your home, or you are far removed from any shops, then the telephone shopping and delivery service may be a necessity for you. But even then, you'll be wise to try to arrange an expedition to the nearest market once every week, or even every two weeks, to stock up on staple items and canned goods". Bex Scott: [00:13:40] We definitely do that. We go to Costco, I think, at least every two weeks, sometimes every week. We're big Costco people. "The fancy grocery or delicatessen has its place in the shopping scheme of things, but is not for you on a budget. Fine hothouse fruits or deluxe foods are grand as an occasional treat, but don't belong on your regular shopping list. After all, the most expensive food is not necessarily the most nutritious. The delicatessen stays open long hours and can be a lifesaver if you happen to forget something". Next up, they talk about shopping in person if possible. "This is the only sure way of getting what you want and what you need, particularly in regard to meats and vegetables and fruits, where real saving or waste is involved. When you are shopping in a market, remember to mind your manners. Small children and dogs are a nuisance. Dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside". Interesting. "Don't put babies into the push carts unless the store provides a special kind which has a place for baby. Don't let your toddler run wild through the sections. Not only is it most annoying to others, it can be dangerous if he pulls stacks of cans down on top of his head. And if your older child feels the need for action, keep him from ramming the push carts into others or from working up speed on the curves around the canned goods by giving him a job to do, such as keeping track of your checklist. Don't block the aisles with your basket while you talk with a neighbor. When you get in line, don't keep others waiting by scrambling back for one more item. And don't try to force your way ahead of others who were there before you. Shopping in a regular store also calls for manners. You may have been a customer for years, or you may be a real favorite with your butcher. Still, you can wait your turn pleasantly and without engaging service personnel in conversation at a time when they should be concentrating on other people and their orders. Don't ask for more than one delivery a day, and don't telephone for service just a few moments before closing time". Bex Scott: [00:15:53] I want to go back to the dogs must be left outside, but children must often be brought inside. Okay, next up we have a section about different items that you can stock in your larder. My favorite one is cheese. I love cheese, I could eat cheese all day, every day. And one of my favorite memories was when I went to the grocery store with my parents, and I think this was the first time my dad had ever been to the cheese section, because he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He didn't know there were so many different types of cheese, and I think my mom and I went off to do the grocery shopping, and my dad stayed in the cheese aisle the whole time, just trying to figure out what each of them were. So this section reminded me of that memory. So "cheese comes in a bewildering variety of types and forms, domestic and imported, and for a great variety of purposes. It is, in its less exotic forms, a very economical source of protein, and supplies vitamins and minerals too". These are all really great reasons that I like to tell myself when I overeat cheese, that I am getting all the vitamins and minerals that I need for my body. "There are three general categories used for convenience in classifying cheese: soft, semi-soft, and hard. Many cheeses are available in each group. Usually, cheese is a matter on which you wax enthusiastic or are content to stay with 1 or 2 mild favorites". I think my dad would probably fall into the wax enthusiastic category after that grocery shopping trip. "Gourmets are conscious of slight variations in flavor and traditionally favor the imported cheeses or used to. For recently, very fine cheeses have been made in the Western Hemisphere. If you are a cheese lover, you may have the attitude that processed cheese is only for cooking. It is not only an excellent melting cheese, but for the average family provides very good eating. In addition, processed cheese can be kept on the pantry shelf for emergencies. The larger-sized packages are usually more economical. Cheese spreads and mixtures can be bought in jars and are convenient for party occasions, if a bit more expensive". I also love a good cheese in a jar. Cheese Whiz on toast is great and when I was pregnant with our daughter, Kraft singles were my number one craving. So that is a very strange piece of knowledge about me. Bex Scott: [00:18:26] Okay, number ten is "how much is enough? Estimating amounts can throw the inexperienced housewife into fits". Fits, huh? "Everyone has his own classic example of the bride who tried to buy potatoes by the piece, or thought that a pound of rice was barely enough for four people". I don't know that we do have those examples. Okay. "To save you from the experiences that are supposed to teach you, but usually just make you suffer, or to refresh your memory and serve as a handy reference guide, here are some hints on amounts to buy for each serving. How much meat to buy for dinner? How many servings will come from a pound of fresh beans? A number two and a half can, or a frozen package. The food shopper, with an eye to thrift and good management, learns to buy carefully just what she can use", and then it goes into different amounts for what you should need for cooking, which is actually kind of handy. Bex Scott: [00:19:24] Next up we have "Storage, preparation and serving: kitchen convenience. Your kitchen is the room in which you spend many of your waking hours. Therefore, you want it as attractive and cheerful as possible. Because everything in it comes in contact with your food, you want it as sanitary and easy to keep clean as you can make it. Those things are important. But to you as a cook, the prime consideration in a kitchen is efficient and helpful arrangement so that everything is where you can find it and use it quickly and easily. The less stooping, bending or stretching, the better. The more working and storage space, the happier you'll be. Good ventilation and adequate lighting, both in the center of the room and again over each working area, are of primary importance. A posture stool or chair will let you relax for the many jobs which can be done just as well sitting down. Basic kitchen arrangement. There's a pattern to kitchen arrangement, or at least there's supposed to be. Ideally, a kitchen has lots of wall space and little floor space. It is not a corridor from the front of the house to another room or outside, and the walls are not broken up with lots of doors and windows. It is three basic work centers. The storage area around the refrigerator which should be nearest the back door, the preparation department which is the sink with workspace on either side, and the cooking and serving section, which should be nearest the dining area so that food can be put right on the table while hot". Bex Scott: [00:20:49] "The U-shaped kitchen is usually considered the most efficient. Here your equipment is grouped on three walls and you have few steps between your three work centers. The L-shaped kitchen is next in preventing waste motion. Space along two walls is provided for the equipment, and often the portion remaining can be made into a dining area, business space for your desk and cookbooks, or play space for the children. The two-wall or corridor kitchen can be as efficient as a ship's galley, unless it's a passageway to the back door. The one wall or Pullman type kitchen is convenient for use, but usually lacks adequate cupboard space". Bex Scott: [00:21:28] Next up we have "Seasonings, salads, sandwiches, and serving. Some women have a gift for turning out flavorful meals with the hot things hot and the cold things cold, with interesting contrast and textures and tastes, and served in gay and colorful fashion. Others serve the very same meal just as well cooked, to be sure, yet so dull and uninspiring". I think if I cooked for my family, I would probably fall into the dull and uninspiring category. Which is why I love that my husband likes to cook because he is great at it. I remember one time I made my mom's meatloaf recipe for our kids. I loved the meatloaf. I thought I did it right. But I think that was the last meal I attempted to make for them, because I was so crushed that they didn't like it that I probably, I don't think I made anything again after that except for baking. I love baking, so cakes and banana bread and all that kind of stuff. So it says, "what is the secret? Well, one thing is the matter of proper seasonings. You may have a shelf full of neat little spice jars and herb containers, yet how often do you use them and do you really understand how and when to use them? And what about seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and the many other kinds? How about the different flavors you can achieve by using different vinegars and cheeses? Have you tried wines in your cooking efforts?" I've tried drinking the wine while I cook. That's great. "In general, how well developed is your sense of gastronomic curiosity? Are you willing to experiment, to try new ways of cooking your old favorites, and to offer your family new tastes occasionally? If you can answer yes to most of the above questions, then your flair for interesting meal-making is well above average. If you say no to too many of them, try to widen your scope of activities by experimenting more and investigating new products". Bex Scott: [00:23:26] "Meal time coordination. Chilled plates and chilled ingredients for salads. Hot plates for hot foods. These are part of getting the meal to the table in attractive form. For no one cares to eat lukewarm salad or meat in lukewarm gravy. Basic preparation and meal planning often come to grief at this point, for as much organization is needed at the moment of cooking as at any other point in meal making. Go back to your basic arrangement of your kitchen for real efficiency. The fundamental idea was to establish a traffic flow from storage to preparation to cooking, so that no time was lost and that food could be gotten to the table right from the stove. Somewhere in the traffic flow, you must be operating as a thinking director. You must have the ability to look at your menu and recipes, decide which foods must be prepared when, and then see that cooking time is so handled that your meat and potatoes are ready at the time that your salad is prepared, dessert ready, and the table ready and waiting. Experience and actual one, two, three planning are the only way to develop the ability to coordinate a meal perfectly". Bex Scott: [00:24:33] Last in this amazing book, we have a section called Camouflage Ideas. I had to read this because I didn't know what they meant, and I really needed to know what camouflaging was. "Sauces, stuffings, relishes and other accompanying dishes are methods of camouflaging either the shape or taste or amount of the foods you are serving. Sauces are valuable because they contribute to the food value and appearance of foods, and add flavor and moisture to those that need it. Good sauces are perfectly blended, smooth in texture, have no lumps, and are neither too heavy nor too thin. By serving leftover vegetables and meat in such forms as au gratin", that's not how you say it. I apologize. That was terrible. "or a la king, you create a whole new flavor treat, and make company fare out of icebox items that otherwise wouldn't stretch. Stuffings may be used to add flavor and to extend a basic food that is in short supply. Don't forget that you can stuff many forms of meat as well as poultry and fish. Remember that stuffing is meant to be a mixture with variations of seasonings. It should be neither too dry nor too moist. Relishes in accompanying dishes like dumplings, Yorkshire puddings, and cranberry sauce are excellent for bringing out the flavor of other foods". Okay, that wasn't as bad as I thought. When they said camouflage, I had pictured in my mind what we do to get our toddler to eat vegetables by hiding them inside of fruit purees and disguising things. So not as bad as I thought. Bex Scott: [00:26:15] Okay, well, I hope you guys all enjoyed this little trip into the 1950s of food buying and meal planning, and maybe you learned a thing or two that you can apply to your kitchen or your marketing. I know I sure did. I'm going to be passing many of these tips off to my husband, for sure, and maybe we'll even have him on a next episode to give his input on this amazing book. So feel free to find me on Instagram @PyrexWithBex. Shoot me a DM, give me a follow, and I will see you next time. 

Iain Matthews was an early member of the pioneering British folk-rock band Fairport Convention, singing on its first two albums and leaving during the recording of the third one, Unhalfbricking. Since then this singer-songwriter has formed other bands — Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong — and released much solo work, including the just-released How Much Is Enough. He has scored some hits — Southern Comfort's cover of Joni Mitchell's “Woodstock,” his 1979 solo song “Shake It”—and says he has recorded about 70 albums total, all projects included. So he has many tales to tell —about the Fairport years with Richard Thompson, Judy Dyble and Sandy Denny and his break from the group; the many places he has lived and whether they had an impact on his music; his years as an A&R rep; and that vocal arrangement of his that the Eagles borrowed without credit.

When it comes to exercise and making progress in the gym - some of the most common questions from all levels amount to the same thing: How Much Is Enough? A few weeks ago we discussed how the gains from gym sessions really peak at 3 days/week of intense exercise, with subsequent days bringing far smaller improvements. This week we want to talk about volume in a single session.  Does the same apply?  Is there a point in an exercise where we have stopped making gains?  Do we ever hit a point where we are wasting our time? As always, the answer isn't quite hard YES or NO.  But let's talk about how to ensure you are getting the most from your time and not inhibiting your own progress.

Ron Blue is co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and the author of several books on personal finances from a biblical perspective, including Never Enough?: 3 Keys to Financial Contentment. Ron published a video series a while back for Kingdom Advisors that revealed 3 questions everyone needs to answer. 3 KEY QUESTIONS: 1. WHO OWNS IT?  This question is so foundational because until you answer that question, you don't know the difference between the steward and the owner. And when I say I own it, then I can do whatever I want with money. But if I say God owns it, now my actions change because I know that I'm managing someone else's resources. Answering that question will not only change your behavior; it will change your life. 2. HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?  Those of us in the United States live in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world. Even those of us who don't consider ourselves “wealthy” by American standards enjoy a higher standard of living than most everyone else in the world. A recent golf tournament awarded the winner $3.6 million dollars. There's nothing inherently wrong with the winner receiving that money. But the question is: How much is enough? Is there an amount that when you reach it, you're done? Or do you keep pushing for more because there's always someone ahead of you? In other words, unless you have a finish line, you'll never truly have contentment. 3. IS THE NEXT STEWARD CHOSEN AND PREPARED?  Again, we live in a wealthy culture. Let's just take the average person, if you will, who owns a home. If they died of old age, then they've had a retirement plan, perhaps, and they own a home and they're debt free. Then somebody's going to need to manage the money and assets left behind after your death. It's a really good idea to know who that is, and make sure that they're prepared. And the reason that's so important is because you're really transferring God's possessions and God's money. So you want to make sure you're transferring it to someone who considers themselves to be a steward and accepts that responsibility.  On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: Is there a legitimate way to have student debt forgiven or lower the interest rates on your student loans? If you receive a notice that your home's escrow account is insufficient, should you pay a lump sum or just accept a larger mortgage payment? Does investing in an annuity ever make sense? Can you switch a whole life insurance policy to term life at age 74? Is it a good time to buy bonds?  Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In episode 282, Kestrel welcomes Katia Dayan Vladimirova, a senior researcher at the University of Geneva, to the show. In addition to her research on fashion consumption, sustainability, and degrowth, Katia is the founder and coordinator at the Sustainable Fashion Consumption Network, and recently contributed to the Hot or Cool Institute's Report – Unfit, Unfair, Unfashionable. “Sufficiency is part of —very much interlinked with degrowth conversations today — it's about abandoning economic growth in favor of wellbeing and enoughness as a positive vision of the future, in which we are content with enough and are not looking for more all the time.” -Katia I've been thinking a lot about the sustainable fashion narrative (over the last decade or so) and as I see it, we've seen a few big stages in the conversation – mind you, there are so many more nuanced narratives that have been out there, but these are the narratives I've heard the most noise around: Stage 1 – A focus on redirecting your consumption habits. The idea that you can be more sustainable with your wardrobe if you buy differently. The narrative was very much interconnected with capitalism and focused on the notion of BUY THIS, NOT THAT. Stage 2 – A basic understanding that massive corporations are the biggest culprits of carbon emissions and human rights violations in fashion. The narrative shifted a bit away from *blaming the consumer* and a bit toward highlighting the need for brands to change. This also involved an acknowledgement of the important role that legislation can play in transforming the industry. This was when we saw the rise of the fashion activist. Stage 3 – (This is the stage I believe we are currently amidst.) It's a combination of the previous stages, with greater context and more specific recommendations on HOW to truly make an impact. It involves an understanding that there is not one specific avenue to change the way fashion currently operates – but instead, we need all hands on deck, and multiple avenues working to address the industry's inequities. This week's guest was one of the authors of a recent report that came out by the Hot or Cool Institute. I feel like the findings in this report directly assist in providing specific ways that a so-called CONSUMER can transform their behavior to make measurable impacts on climate change (something I'm seeing as an integral part of this Stage 3 we are currently amidst).  In the report, it highlights that – “If no other actions are implemented, such as repairing/mending, washing at lower temperatures, or buying second-hand, purchases of new garments should be limited to an average 5 items per year for achieving consumption levels in line with the Paris Agreement – to keep the average global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030. This is very exciting – to see a report tell us a target number – to let us know that we can still buy clothing, but if we can all reduce our purchasing to only 5 garments per year, we can stay within planetary boundaries.  Tune in to hear more from this week's guest on HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? when it comes to our fashion consumption. Quotes & links from the conversation: Hot or Cool Institute's Report "Unfit, Unfair, Unfashionable: Resizing Fashion for a Fair Consumption Space" Sustainable Fashion Consumption Network, international research network on sustainable fashion consumption "Consumption Corridors in Fashion: Deliberations on upper consumption limits in minimalist fashion challenges", Katia's article that explores how much is enough “When we're talking about the key driving force behind the growing emissions in fashion — these are the wealthiest 20%. And we may think that, wealthiest 20%, oh this is somewhere far away from us. But if we look at the numbers — in Germany, to be within the wealthiest 20%, the individual income has to be over 3.2K Euros per month. So, many people who are participating in policy conversations, in research — many people who are asking these questions actually are within the richest 20 percent.” -Katia (26:17) “Those who really should change is the middle class and upper middle class who can afford to buy better, but they choose not to.” (27:22) “The positive message here is that when we're talking about staying within planetary boundaries, we're not talking about having 2 pairs of underpants, 2 socks and a pair of jeans for the whole year — that's not the case. We actually have a very generous allowance — our allowance to stay under the 1.5 degree limit is higher than the number of pieces that a woman in France used to have in the 1960s in her wardrobe. So we're really very generously allowed to experiment.” -Katia (29:30) “Citizen Insights: Clothing Longevity and Circular Business Models Receptivity in the UK”, WRAP study that Katia mentions Follow Katia on Instagram >

It's Sunday, which means...it's recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast This week the theme was: How Much Is Enough? It's based on a parable I read on the wall at a Jimmy John's, of all places.  In case you missed any episodes, here's what I covered this week… The Minimum Income You Need To Be Happy Finding The Sweet Spot With Timing Your Retirement More For The Sake Of More How Much For A Comfortable Retirement Back Of The Envelope Calculation For How Much Is Enough The most important takeaway from this week is: We want to be careful about falling into the trap of pursuing more for the sake of more without giving much thought to what we might be sacrificing by working longer than we need to. A well-executed plan for retirement provides you with enough assets and income to live a comfortable and financially secure retirement with some guardrails built in to account for the unexpected future that is inevitable.  Tomorrow I'm starting a brand new weekly theme: Nowhere to hide. 2022 has been a dismal year for investors. As I record this podcast, the S&P 500 is down 18% for the year, the bond market is down about 13% this year, and even traditional safe havens like gold and cash savings are losing value due to the rising dollar and inflation, respectively.  So what's an investor to do. Now that the 3rd quarter just wrapped up and we have about 3 more months left in the year, I'll talk about where we go from here, and what's an investor to do, especially if you're just a few years away from retirement.  Thank you so much for listening this week! If you're enjoying the podcast, chances are someone else you know who is getting close to retirement could also benefit from checking it out, so please share the show with a friend, a neighbor, your sister, or your boss. Just go to your favorite podcasting app, hit the share icon, then text or email the show link to someone you know who is eyeing retirement.  Thanks for sharing the love and spreading the word.

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: How Much Is Enough? Yesterday I talked about a Fidelity study that gives you some benchmarks on figuring out for yourself how much is enough for retirement.  Today, I'm talking about a back of the envelope calculation that you can run to help you determine how much is enough. I wouldn't rely on this to make important irreversible decisions about retirement. More careful planning is required, but this will at least get you started.  I'm just going to run through this pretty quickly in today's episode, but if you want to go more in depth in running this calculation, I've linked to an article in Kiplinger than will help you do that in today's show notes, which is episode 1448. Link to article: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/605117/find-out-in-5-minutes-if-you-have-enough-to-retire  The first step is you'll need to figure out your monthly expenses. If you don't know or don't track what you spend on a monthly basis on the basics like gas, groceries, utilities, your Netflix subscription, eating out, clothes, etc. You'll want to track that for at least 3 months to start to get an average.  There are expenses that will go away or change in retirement, and some that will go up. If you're like me, you probably would stop getting your nails done every 3 weeks at $40 a pop, but I'm definitely still getting my hair done and I'd probably spend more on travel once I'm retired.  So track those expenses and come up with a figure. You'll need to add taxes too, so in most cases you'll want to tack on another 20-25% a month for taxes.   A trick offered in the Kiplinger article is to “Look at two years of annual statements from your bank accounts. Divide the total debits by 24. That's it. This is an accurate portrayal of your monthly expenses. This should encompass everything except what you pay for before it hits your bank account (taxes, health insurance premiums, group life insurance, etc.).” Ok, now that we know your spending in retirement, we need to look at sources of income from social security, pensions, rental income, and other income streams that will be flowing in during retirement. Don't count your portfolio withdrawals here, that will come next. Once you know your outflows (expenses) and your inflows (income), then you can calculate the gap that will need to be filled with your portfolio withdrawals.  Let's say your expected expenses in retirement including taxes are $6,000 a month. Your income from social security and other sources will be $3,700 a month, which leave $2,300 a month that needs to be covered by portfolio withdrawals. Multiply this by 12 and you have $27,600 that you'll need to take out of your investments in your first year of retirement. From there you can use the 4% rule to calculate if this is sustainable. Again this is not perfect, but it provides a good starting place and a good estimate.  $27,600 of annual income is 4% of a $690,000 portfolio. So in this case, if you have around $700,000 or more in assets, you probably have enough to retire.  As a back of the envelope calculation, it gets the job done and helps you determine if you're on track and have enough to make work optional or just simply retire.  That's it for today.

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: How Much Is Enough? Today, I'm talking in more concrete terms about how much you need for a comfortable retirement.  According to a Fidelity study, you should aim to save at least 1x your salary by 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, 8x by 60, and 10x by 67. So if you get to retirement age with somewhere between 8-10x your household income saved for retirement, that is ideal according to Fidelity research.  Of course other factors influence this and may require less or more than this amount. If you'll have significant sources of income like a pension or rental income, then you may need much less than this amount.  Fidelity study limitations - But it's important to remember that the total dollar amount isn't the end goal. It's all about the income that your assets can generate with some additional cushion for when you need to buy a new car, or a new roof, or if you need to pay for long-term care.  If you read the footnotes of the Fidelity study, you see that they came up with the 10x figure by age 67, by analyzing the household consumption data for working individuals age 50 to 65 from Consumer Expenditure Survey, US Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The average income replacement target of 45% is based on the objective of maintaining a similar lifestyle to before retirement. It assumes your other income comes from social security.  Social security replaces anywhere from 25% to 40% of your income for most people. So this leaves you with a total income replacement of your income in retirement of abou70-85% whicic is ideal for maintaining lifestyle. And I think that's the key. Rather than getting too focused on that final number or dollar amount of assets you need to retire, it's best to look at how much is enough from an income and lifestyle based benchmark to help you see if you are on track to retire. And that's what we'll look closer at tomorrow.  That's it for today. Thanks for listening!

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: How Much Is Enough? Today, I'm talking about a common trap that many of us fall into that goes back to the parable I discussed on Monday, which gets to the heart of the fruitlessness of pursuing more and wasting time and energy in the pursuit of more, while at the same time sacrificing what might be more important - namely time freedom, relationships with your spouse, loved ones, and friends - all in pursuit of the almighty dollar.  Many people fall into the trap of pursuing more for the sake of more. Not necessarily because they are greedy, but often I find because they don't really put much thought into how pursuing less could bring more meaning and happiness than pursuing more.  This is always a tricky subject for me - both personally and in conversations with clients. The ultimate goal, in my humble opinion is to live a meaningful and well-balanced life. But we often get out of balance, sometimes miserably out of balance and stay in that state for years. It ends up ruining our happiness, because life is too crazy and we've taken on too much. This doesn't just have to be about money. It can be about loading up our days with - yes, working more or unnecessarily, but also activities and saying yes to too many things that don't actually make our lives any better.  I've become better about this over the years, but before I was married, my maiden name was Wilson, and my initials were AW. My now husband used to joke that AW stood for always working.  I took it as a compliment at the time, but always working as your nickname, is probably an indicator of a problem. In my case, I would work a lot, sometimes on the weekend, and would stress about working more, all in the effort to get ahead and meet arbitrary growth goals that I had for myself in growing my income and my financial advisory practice.  I was less happy then, then I am now, and I think one of the main reasons why is because I have a more balanced life where I can spend time with my kids, I have time for friends and hobbies I enjoy like golf, and the laundry doesn't pile up too bad.  The problem is that having money in the world today (or at any time in history actually) also means you have power, more pleasure, and higher status, and we make the mistake of believing that these things will make us happier. As a result, many people pursue money and more without realizing that they're running in the hamster wheel to pursue something that isn't actually going to make them any happier.  So the goal is to make thoughtful decisions about saving, working, and investing with a firm grasp of why you're doing what you're doing. And knowing that the pursuit of money, power, pleasure, status, etc. is futile.  I have gradually learned and accepted this as truth in my own life, and I see it firsthand in the lives of the people I know and my own clients, that avoiding the common trap of accumulating more, working longer, or making other sacrifices in the name of accumulating above and beyond what is necessary for a comfortable retirement simply isn't worth the trade off.  That's it for today.

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: How Much Is Enough? Yesterday, I talked about the minimum amount of income you need to be happy and have a high life satisfaction, and how research suggests that above this level, the law of diminishing returns tends to kick in and you don't have a significantly higher amount of happiness or life satisfaction above around $105,000 of income annually.  With that said, today I'm talking about finding the sweet spot of retiring at the right time. This is a common issue I discuss with clients, as many of them approaching retirement either want to or need to continuing working for a few more years, but they also want to enjoy the early years of retirement while they're still healthy and can travel more, and just generally enjoy the time freedom that comes with retirement to live a more active and balanced life.  It's critical then, to find that sweet spot of retiring at the right time. To be clear, there is no perfect or ideal time to retire, since planning for retirement deals with the inherent uncertainty of planning for an unknown future.  But with some careful planning and building guardrails into the plan, I can confidently tell clients, yes you can retire now, or next year or whenever, or you should consider working until this particular age so you minimize the risk of running out of money.  If you don't work long enough, it will strain your assets and income and you won't be able to do the things you want to do because you simply can't afford to.  If you work too long, you may look back with regret that you wasted the good, healthy years of retirement by continuing to work when you really didn't need to or want to anymore, and now your health or energy or both have declined to the point where like the person who didn't work long enough, you can't do the things you wanted to or spend your time and financial resources in a meaningful way that increased your life satisfaction.  That's it for today.

The theme this week on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast is: How Much Is Enough? Today, I'm talking about the minimum income you need to be happy. A recent study published by Purdue suggests that you need about $105,000 of income in North America have high life satisfaction. In Oregon, where I live and cost of living is about a third higher than the rest of the country, you need about $136,000 to be happy.  The study suggests that this is an ideal amount and that the law of diminishing returns applies and that more income above this level doesn't make you happier. Sure you can take nicer vacations and afford a newer car and a bigger house, an important takeaway from this study is that there is an income level that is enough.  Another study published by Princeton in 2010 found a similar result: there is an increase in happiness alongside annual income up to about $75,000 before it levels off. Adjusted for inflation and the 12 years that have passed, the $105,000 of income today is in that ballpark.  So while happiness and income and the associated comforts and things that that income can buy goes up as income rises, some research suggests that it levels off at a certain point, which is important to recognize alongside the continued pressure for more more more.  That's it for today.

It's Sunday, which means...it's recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast This week the theme was:What To Do With A $300,000 Inheritance In case you missed any episodes, here's what I covered this week… Don't Make Major Decisions For 6-12 Months Avoid Found Money Syndrome Realign The Portfolio To You Make A Concrete Plan For Inheritance Dollars Case Study: I Just Received A $300,000 Inheritance The most important takeaway from this week is:   Tomorrow I'm starting a brand new weekly theme: How Much Is Enough?  Saving for retirement is a lot like one of my favorite books growing up - Goldilocks. Save too much, work too hard for too long and you're likely to find that the sacrifices were too great and you didn't enjoy the working years and you didn't have enough healthy and relaxed years to enjoy your retirement.  Save too little, and you're not going to be able to afford to do much else then sit around and watch Fox News and College Football all day. Save just the right amount, work just long enough to still enjoy the healthy go-go years of retirement and you've found yourself a winning combination. So next week I'll talk more about how to tell when you've hit the baby bear scenario in Goldilocks, where everything is just right. Thank you so much for listening this week!

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? When you say to the Lord, give me, give me, you're really saying I don't believe you. Because he has already said I am giving you all things richly to enjoy; you have it already. Hold everything, preacher; what about prayer? How can I pray to God if I'm not asking him for something? That is a general thought among many Christian communities that prayer is only for asking for things. Many in the body of Christ come into the prayer closet with a list of requests, and after they deliver that request, they usually leave the closet. Then they wait to see if their faith is strong enough to convince heaven that they really need the things they asked for. When we understand that he has given us all things richly to enjoy, prayer becomes a relational fellowship with our heavenly father.  If you know how big business and entertainment work, most deals are done on the golf course or at the club party. Relationships are cemented in that environment, and deals are made out of that. Why would it be any different in the spiritual world with our heavenly father? After all, the scriptures tell us that if we draw nigh to God, he will draw nigh to us.  That sounds to me like a relationship that is building a bond between two people. We know God loves us but do we love his company and friendship enough to hang out with him in the quiet places of prayer? In the intimacy of the prayer closet in the quiet times of meditation, our father begins to speak to us about the mysteries of heaven. As that conversation continues, the things that we had planned and asked for begin to come our way because our father knows all of our desires. He has provided all things for you that you may receive them with lavish Joy. Your position is one of receiving what he has provided. The sign of an open heart is the sound of worship and praise, thanking him in advance for what he is giving.

“How Much Is Enough?” (Luke 12:13-21) by Rev Jonathan Wong, 31 Jul Sun MP Service

“How Much Is Enough?” (Luke 12:13-21) by Rev Jonathan Wong, 31 Jul Sun MP Service

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH? Today's readings are Micah 5-7 and Hebrews 7.  We are reading from the New Living Translation. How much is enough?  How much do I owe?  What's it going to take to settle up with my past, my regrets, and my shame?  How much should I pay for the wrong that I've done and the pain that I've caused?  How much is enough? What's it going to take to pay for my sins?  What does God want?  That's the question that Micah poses here in chapter 6:6. He tells us what he wants in verse 8. No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. There you have it.  That's what it's going to take.  It's not offerings of olive oil and rams or the sacrifice of our firstborn (Micah 6:6-7). It's something far more simple. Simply, do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God As sublime and poetic as that sounds, there's a problem with this poetry.  I can't do it.  If it's going to require me doing what is right – loving mercy and walking humbly with God – I can't pay the price.   Apart from God, I do not do what is right.  Apart from God, I have not been one who loves mercy or walks humbly with God,.  In fact, none of us meet that standard.  That's the problem. Adam didn't walk humbly with God.  And all the sons of Adam since,  have not walked humbly with God. They have not loved mercy.  They have not done right.  We have all sinned and fallen short.  But praise be to God, there is one person, one man, a priest in the order of Melchizedek, who has not fallen short. That is Jesus, our Savior, Messiah, and our High Priest.  He is the one who has done what is right, who has loved mercy, done justly and walked humbly with God his Father.  He's the one who has paid the price for our sin.  In Hebrews 7:27 we hear that: Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people's sins. What's it going to take to pay for our sins?  That's the question that Micah wants to know the answer to. And the answer is Jesus: – the only one who has done what is right, – the only one who has loved mercy and justice and walked humbly with God, – the only who who has offered the perfect sacrifice for our sin.   And because of what he has done, we have the freedom to learn to walk humbly with him, each day, because his Spirit abides in us. We can begin to live the with-God life, no longer trying to pay the price.  The price has been paid. Now we can learn, through trust and obedience, how to walk with our God. This journey of child-like faith is what will transform us into the people we were created to be.

The question I get asked most is "How much money do I need in order to stop working?" Ever wondered about that? Stop working.  Freedom to choose how you spend your time.  Where you spend it... with whom you spend it... and IF you choose to work. The biggest mistake I see people making is NOT KNOWING that number. WHY?  Well here's the problem... Your subconscious KNOWS you aren't saving enough... so it becomes an energy drain, an invisible stressor That's why I believe we should all know How much do you need, in today's money in order to retire? (and do that calculation each year) How much do you need to contribute each month from now on to hit your retirement number? What if you can't contribute that much... how close will any additional contribution you make from now on get you to your goal?

How Much Is Enough?: Buddhist and Western Perspectives on Greed, Prosperity, and Happiness The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.  I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is the Smithsonian Associates Art of Living author interview series.  Our guest today is Dr. Steven Emmanuel. Dr. Steven Emmanuel is the dean of the Susan S. Goode School of Arts and Humanities at Virginia Wesleyan University. Dr. Emmanuel will be presenting via Zoom on May 25, 2021, and the title of Dr. Emmanuel's presentation is How Much is Enough?  Buddhist and Western Perspectives on Greed, Prosperity, and Happiness. It has become fashionable in recent decades to assert that greed is good—or more accurately, that greed can be a productive force for good. This is not a new idea: As early as the 18th century, philosophers such as Adam Smith noted that vices such as avarice and vanity contributed to the advancement of society by spurring industry and prosperity. At the same time, Smith was deeply aware of the social and psychological costs of a competitive market system—not least anxiety, inauthenticity, inequality, and indifference to the misery of the poor. He frequently observed how the relentless pursuit of wealth disrupts the tranquility and contentment necessary to human happiness. Modern critics of free-market capitalism have long complained that it promotes economic growth at the expense of virtue and happiness. But does the capitalist model for alleviating poverty force us to choose between the useful and the good? Is some measure of unhappiness simply the price we pay for human progress? Though it may seem an unlikely source, the Buddhist tradition offers us a useful conceptual framework for thinking about this question.  Our guest today, Steven M. Emmanuel, dean of the Susan S. Goode School of Arts and Humanities at Virginia Wesleyan University will answer our questions about whether there is value in greed, the dangers of wealth acquisition as it pertains to happiness, and an ennobling form of economic activity that is not only compatible with moral and spiritual growth but promotes the conditions for a peaceful, prosperous, and happy society. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associate Dr. Steven Emmanuel.   My thanks to Dr. Steven Emmanuel, who will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates program on May 25, 2021, and the title of Dr. Emmanuel's presentation is How Much is Enough?  Buddhist and Western Perspectives on Greed, Prosperity, and Happiness.  More details in today's show notes.  Also, my thanks to the Smithsonian Associates team for all they do to support the show.  My special thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.  Please be safe, practice smart social distancing, get the vaccine, and Talk About Better.

Sunday 2nd June 2019 Ps Geoff Woodward " How Much Is Enough?" "Enough - June 2019" metrochurch, Perth Western Australia

If you're interested in how to overcome burnout as an entrepreneur, this post is for you. Most people outside of the online world have little understanding of what being an entrepreneur entails. Sharing with your friends or even family that you're struggling with blogger burnout may not bring much relief. It's not that our people don't want to help us; they simply don't know how. Most folks have never spent months or years trying to get a business off the ground. They don't understand the pressures of building a business and what it requires of you day after day and year after year. And so they simply can't offer any solutions to the all-too-common struggles of entrepreneur burnout. This is a topic that's near and dear to my heart. My husband, David, and I have built 2 businesses from scratch, so we know what it means to face the daily slog of a mile-long to-do list and too few hours in the day to get it all done. That's why I am so excited about my guest on today's episode of The Blogger Genius Podcast, Jason Zook. Jason Zook has started some of the most unique businesses I have seen. He and his wife Caroline have a membership site for client-based business owners who want to begin developing and selling digital products but not burn out while doing it. Jason has some interesting thoughts about when enough is enough in your business. If you suffer from blogger burnout, entrepreneur burnout, etc., his method will help you set new guidelines and reshape the way you think about your business. I think you will find him incredibly inspiring. How The Purple Cow Changed Things  Jason began his entrepreneurial journey in 2007, with no background in the sphere, not even a lemonade stand as a child. He had a normal 9-5 job as a graphic designer for three years after graduating college. But one day he looked around and realized how blah his existence was. He felt that he was surrounded by beige, literally and metaphorically. Then one day, a book, The Purple Cow, landed on his desk. That book helped Jason see himself in a new light and propelled him to make the leap to something new. He began his own design company with a friend, and they grew that company over the next two years. In 2008, he was standing in his closet when he realized that he was promoting businesses just by wearing shirts with their logos on them. At that time, social media was only just beginning to emerge and Jason saw an opportunity to use that platform in new ways. He created a project called, I Wear Your Shirt. For one year, he was going to charge small businesses to wear their shirts and promote them on social media. It was not an easy road to pursue, but he knew he wanted to do something unique. That project went on for five years, and although he ended up with debt in the end, he will forever have the lessons he learned from that time. All the time, people are having those ideas that make you say, “Why didn't I think of that?” Jason did the same with his tee shirt project. Even though it ended in 2013, his project still gets fresh traction because of its bizarre nature. Learning Through The Challenges Not knowing how to run a business perfectly, the unusual charging structure for the project, and taking on too much growth too quickly made it hard for the business to stay afloat. Jason says that he was focused on growth and success the way he saw it playing out for others. The problem is that what works for others doesn't always fit your particular business. Without knowing how to manage the day to day of expenses and revenues, Jason was getting deeper and deeper into a hole. It sounds silly to say that he didn't think about how the business would pay for itself, but no one gets taught this in a way that is applicable to entrepreneurs. Jason helps many entrepreneurs work through problems they have keeping their businesses afloat. Business classes are not focused on entrepreneurial business. Without knowing what things to look out for, it's easy to get swamped before you know it. Jason had several credit cards, he owed family money, and when he realized he was over $100K in debt, he made the decision to throw in the towel. He worked tirelessly for five years and ultimately, the entrepreneurial burnout he faced forced him to take a break and reevaluate what he was doing. How to Know When to Quit Being an Entrepreneur Jason's business with his wife is the climax of all they have learned throughout their business careers. He says that it all boils down to knowing who you are. Are you an entrepreneur? Are you cut out for that kind of life? 9-5 jobs are very straightforward. You have a set path that you follow daily. Entrepreneurs do not have that safety net. You are going to have unknown expenses; your path might change from what you originally planned. If you think you want to start a business, you need to know a few things going in. The first is related to the choices you need to make. You have two choices. One, you can give yourself a cap on how long you can stick with your idea. You might have enough savings to get you through six months or you might be willing to go a couple of months incurring debt. Choice #1 is to give yourself an end date. Decide to stick with your project for say, one year. At the end of the one year period, you have to reevaluate on whether you can keep going. Choice #2 is that you have to know at what point you will decide to stop with the project and move on for your own good and your family's good. You need to cut your losses at some point. So if you see your business isn't heading in a positive way anymore, it's time to cut your losses and move on to something else.  When Failure Is What You Need as an Entrepreneur Jason struggled with feelings of failure until he read Ryan Holiday's book, The Obstacle Is The Way. He learned that the business failing is what needed to happen for him to learn lessons about business, entrepreneurial experiences, work-life balance, and debt. If he hadn't stopped when he was $100K in debt, he may have gone on until he was $1M in debt. That $100K became a boulder he had to get around, but it helped give him a better focus on budgeting. When something doesn't happen the way you think it will or a project fails, it's your chance to reframe your thinking to, “This is an opportunity for me to get better and learn something.” Outsourcing Your Weaknesses as a Blogger It is hard work to be an entrepreneur. You have to make sure you hit every area of your business to make it grow and become better. For some of us, it's worth it. But you have to know if you want it and how badly you want it. For Jason, paperwork is a weakness. He would rather clean house than do paperwork. So it is worth it for him to hire a bookkeeper to do that. Focus on where you might need to bring in strength from outside in the areas you lack it. Jason encourages entrepreneurs to find the three things they absolutely hate to do and then see if they can outsource them for under a couple of hundred dollars a month. Doing this one small thing will free up your time and your energy, including your mental energy. *Here at Milo Tree, I tell people to figure out what you make an hour, and if you can outsource a few jobs for less money than you make an hour, you should do it. Some things are more expensive, but freeing up your time and releasing yourself from a task you despise is worth it. If a job is holding you back and hindering your business growth, you need to outsource it. I go to UpWork and I hire people for a specific project. If we work well together, we can do more projects in the future. I have met so many wonderful people just by doing that. How Much Is Enough? The media has glamorized having lots of employees but in reality, it is stressful. Jason learned from his failed business that he doesn't need to bring on help just for the sake of bringing on help. You have to put yourself in the mindset of asking, “How much is enough?” Jason and his wife ask themselves this question to ground themselves. How much money does a business need? Not how much money is a glamorous number, but how much would you really need to survive? Break down why you want the number that you're going after. Jason has an MMM number, “Monthly Minimum Magic” number. That would be the money it takes to survive and run your business. No matter what, you want to make that. Then you can pick your “Enough Number”, the one that gives you all that you need. This is the number that provides abundance, the number that makes you feel like all the work you put in is worth it. If you can pick a number, you will free yourself from having goals that are unattainable and discouraging because they are too big. Minimalism is everywhere now. People are starting to embrace the idea that enough is enough. Reaching your number may take time, but it will be achievable if it's not some pie in the sky arbitrary number. Taking Control of Your Perspective Instead of focusing on things that you believe will make you good enough, like an annual income, focus on how far you've come. Focus on how much you've learned. You can celebrate the small victories and not put all your hopes of happiness in future accomplishments. When you're stressed and overwhelmed, you can take a moment to realize how far you've come and how your hard work is paying off. Jason says he is, “Walking a business, not running a business”. He and his wife got tired of always feeling like a hamster on a wheel, running with no end. All of this constant running, from emails to calls to meetings to social media to more emails...this is what leads to entrepreneurial burnout. Why can't we just slow down to a walking pace? We don't have to run all the time. It's okay to slow down sometimes. Sometimes you have to run to get started, run to a place where you can walk, but if you're thinking about what you would like to achieve, once you hit that, you can give yourself the freedom to rest more. The Concept of Time Profitability In business, it's easy to understand cash profitability but we don't think of time as something that offers profitability. If you have certain goals, are you willing to be time poor while you're pushing yourself to reach those goals? Even if your business makes less money than you think it should, are you getting more time? Are you able to enjoy an easier schedule while still making enough? Jason likes to challenge the idea that money is the only profit you should think about in your life. Most people have to learn their lessons themselves. You might get to a certain point and realize your time isn't as profitable as it could be. Do you have a tendency to always think that you're falling short in what you do? We have to overcome those ideas of what's normal for us so that we can go at our own pace, enjoy the moments in life as they come, and not feel burdened to always be running. No season in life will last forever. It's important to make sure that you have a balance so you don't miss out on life while you are building your business. Jason likes to ask, “What is it all for?” He knows that he cannot sacrifice the now in the hopes that when he hits his goals someday, that will fulfill him and make him happy. Your problems aren't going to go away if your business succeeds; you're going to have more of them. If you pursue more than what your enough number is, what are you going to have to sacrifice to get there? Is that money profit greater than your time or peace profit? Jason identified what was important in his life, and now he can work through the stress of running a business, because of the life he now gets to live. A life without burnout and without regrets. How to Know When You've Made It as an Entrepreneur Jason was able to identify when he felt that he had “made it” because he wasn't constrained by what society said success is. He has what he wants and he is happy to have it. When you are able to identify the things you want from life and what is enough, you can be content, knowing you have gotten what you desire. As an entrepreneur, you not only need to manage the books but you need to manage your own brain. You need to manage the stories you tell yourself. You can tell yourself when you've made it and that's okay. You don't have to keep grinding forever and forever. You can have enough and be happy in the life you want. The finish line is whatever you want it to be. Overcoming Burnout as a Blogger Jason definitely struggled with burnout after the completion of his I Wear Your Shirt project. He had filmed himself almost every single day for 1,600 days straight. This was before Youtube stars and daily vloggers were really a thing. For 4 years after the business ended, he couldn't stand to look at a camera. Anyone who's gone through burnout knows that the only thing that heals it is time. You need space away from the things that burned you out so you can come back to it. To handle the burnout, you can set parameters to help you do the things you need to do. More relaxed schedules and less comparison are some of the things you can put into effect so that you won't feel soul-sick while working. Jason has created a six-month program called, Build Without Burnout Academy, to help people who want to create a digital product of some kind. This program is releasing in March of 2019. It takes a lot to get something up and running and making revenue, and Jason helps with doing all of that while keeping the burnout away. His method, based on his experiences, helps you set goals you can achieve, take your time doing it, and not hate every second of it. It is very important that you don't get burned out building a business that you are then going to have to keep up and running for years. There Is No Magic Bullet to Growing Your Online Business We tend to buy into the idea that a quick fix is all we need to be making millions of dollars. What happens when that doesn't happen? We hit burnout. It is so important to have realistic goals, visions, an idea of what you will have to sacrifice, and how long it might take. You have to be willing to not sacrifice yourself and your life on the altar and grow your business in a way that you will be happy with. There is no magic bullet for success. It's a day in and day out grind. But you get to decide what that looks like for you and how you can make it fit the life you want to be living. You can learn more about Jason and Caroline and listen to their podcast on WanderingAimfully.com. Jason Zook is on Twitter and Instagram as well. Jason would love to connect with anyone who is ready to build a business they can enjoy running while living the life they want to live.

How Much Is Enough for (YOUR) Retirement?   What is the basis for knowing that you will be okay in retirement?   I'll always remember one of my wealthiest clients who was a top-level CEO for many years. We sat down for dinner, just the two of us. He looked at me before the meal arrived, and said: "Chris, are you saying I'm really going to be okay? I just don't know." That moment was powerful. It was a lesson for me. It affirmed that confidence in retirement isn't a number. It isn't a status. It is a plan.   Anxiety is not a symptom of how much you've made or how much you've saved.   If You're Feeling Anxious About Your Retirement... Create A Detailed Income Plan An income plan to the depth you need is more than a home-made Excel Spreadsheet.  I have many clients that can create amazing worksheets to project their income, but despite their Excel resume, they can't deliver the depth they need for retirement planning. Why?Because the average person, and many financial advisors, don't have the intelligent software to factor in: Taxes Inflation Early Death in the Family Social Security Changes Long-Term Care Issues There is actually software that allows you to illustrate the reality of what will happen exactly if any of the "could happens" become a reality and see how it will affect your financial picture.    2. Make Your Plan Ready To Shift Things change. You hear it all the time, "Life Happens." It's why the Waze app is amazing and my clutch for Atlanta traffic!  Yes, your plan needs to be ready for your current dreams, but also it needs to be ready for the life that hasn't happened yet. Life moves fast, and your plan needs to be able to change. It's funny, some life decisions that can change your financial picture are obvious, but I even had a client call me and ask what would be the long-term impact of him purchasing a new boat!   Listen to The Full Show: This eight-minute segment from the More than Money show on WSB Radio unpacks how confidence in your financial future is found in details and adaptability. Hear client stories and more on an area we are so passionate about - planning that improves your life.   Key Quotes: "Our team just invested a ton of time and resources to upgrade our financial projection software from last year to be the most updated tool available."> "Client after client is now living without anxiety."> "Be confident you are moving in the right direction, even when life happens."   Get An Answer to My Situation Now   GREAT LINKs To LEARN MORE: How Much Is Enough for Retirement?
