In this insightful episode of the "Learn Like a CPA" podcast, Ryan delves into a critical but often overlooked metric in the investment world: the Return on Hassle (ROH), or the return on one's own time. He challenges traditional investment metrics like ROI and cash flow, arguing that time is an investor's most scarce and valuable resource. Ryan discusses the significant differences in time investment between long-term and short-term rental properties, emphasizing the need for investors to consider not just the financial returns but also the time and effort involved in managing these investments. He advises listeners to conduct a thorough audit of their time and portfolio, comparing the return on equity against the time invested in each property. This episode is a call to action for investors to align their highest ROI skills with their passions, ensuring that their investments are not only financially rewarding but also time-efficient, ultimately advocating for a more holistic approach to measuring investment success.

Everyone loves seeing their hard-earned money dwindle away to the tax man right? Obviously not! The most powerful techniques generally come to business owners and real estate investors. Ryan Blakke, from Learn Like a CPA, is an expert in these techniques. He's seen hundreds of returns that individuals did themselves...and only 1 who actually did it correctly. That means if you're putting all your trust in turbo-tax, you're probably leaving money on the table. Cost segregation, the Augusta rule, and resetting your cost basis when giving to charities are just some of the tips Ryan brings to this episode. As we near the end of 2023, you'll want to make sure you take action on some of these tips before it's too late. It's always a great episode when we hear about strategies we never knew existed.

as per we must embrace the way kids learn. The direct link between age and the ability to learn is tenuous, with some studies dispelling the myth that children are inherently better learners than adults. The key to learning as quickly as a child may be simply to take on certain childlike attitudes: a lack of self-consciousness, a desire to play in the language and a willingness to make mistakes. Plus, it helps to come in with fewer preconceived notions about what a language is and can be. Humans learn by making mistakes. As kids, we are expected to make mistakes, but as adults, mistakes are taboo. Think how an adult is more likely to say “I can't” rather than “I haven't learned that yet.” To be seen failing (or merely struggling) is a social taboo that doesn't burden children as much. When it comes to learning a language, admitting that you don't know everything is the key to growth and freedom. Let go of your grown-up inhibitions! Matthew Youlden said, “I tend to want to absorb as much as possible right from the start. So if I learn something, I really, really go for it and try to use it throughout the day. As the week progresses I try to think in it, try to write in it, try to speak to myself even in that language. For me, it's about actually putting what you're learning into practice — be that writing an email, speaking to yourself, listening to music, listening to the radio. Surrounding yourself, submerging yourself in the new language culture is extremely important.” Here are 10 of Matthew's best language-learning tips.WHERE AS John McWhorter, leading linguistics expert said, “The other thing is having realistic expectations of how much time you're going to spend a day. For example, when I'm not doing my Mandarin lessons, which involve going and talking to a person for an hour and a half … 15 minutes, maybe 20 minutes a day. That's about all the time I have. If I tried to make it more, I would get intimidated, and I probably couldn't fit it in because, if you're a busy person, life doesn't offer you naked half hours, and certainly not whole hours.”GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
