My credentials: I've successfully navigated 69 years on earth, with my optimistic outlook and belief in humankind intact!
I write about how I've done that.

I've always been an unwaveringly HUGE fan of teaching soft skills ... until now. 1 big reason why I'm rethinking that.

Two inputs contributed to my new cautious train of thought

@TomCottonAR @LisaChristine66 And all of the money that went out to help folks during the Trump administration ($2.3 trillion coronavirus relief) didn’t contribute to or create inflation? We were warned even back then that it would come back as inflation.

@Madisonkanna As the saying goes, “We’d care a little less about what people think about us, if we realized how seldom they did!”

@dickiebush Reminds me of the Thomas Merton quote: “If you want to know me, don’t ask me what I like to eat or how I comb my hair. Ask me instead what I want to live for, and what is keeping from living for that thing.” (Slightly paraphrased).

@kinginmotion It’s not “just an excuse,” King. It’s called taking some deep breaths and enjoying life! Recharging in all ways, is vital in all ways.

@BreathingByEd Isn’t it important to make it a “belly breath” to trigger the parasympathetic response, not just a chest breath?

@TheOvermanEthos @dylanwritescopy You’re assuming that people quitting the “online builder” space is a negative. In some cases they tried, learned, got clarity and moved wholeheartedly in another direction (not online building). That’s a success! Careful not to over generalize.

@cybersecmeg Fantastic!!! Happy for you and happy birthday. Max out that HSA if available- it has the best tax advantages of all, beats 401k and IRAs.

@editingemily I got a chuckle out of that- mansplained. I asked my lovely bride if I ever mansplained, confident she’d say no. She said, “Not TOO often.” Ugh!

[Steve Schmunk 🚢 @SteveSchmunk]

@CristinaEspinal Plus it lets introverts participate and express themselves too. I know- I’m married to a delightful one one and have to remind myself of this regularly!

[Steve Schmunk 🚢 @SteveSchmunk]

@Java_writes @CristinaEspinal Amen to that! As Zig Ziglar says, make your pitch and then shut up. The next one who talks “loses” (the conversational bout).” That’s not quite the right word (loses) but you get his drift. Don’t talk yourself out of a sale!

@trengriffin @RampCapitalLLC I can taste the powdered eggs now!

@PathwayToFI HSAs, funded with pre-tax income, are hidden gems which many don’t think about! If you use the funds for qualified medical expenses, the money is NEVER taxed. In this way it beats the Roth and every other retirement vehicle.
And can be used like an IRA if need arises.

@ItsMattOnMoney Matt, good list!
Add : “They get greedy.”
Which I suppose is part of being irrational.
