    Just to summarise :
    Valuing time over money ,
    Engaging in smaller but frequent chunks of leisure,
    Finding flow,
    Strong relationships ,
    Spending money on experiences rather than things,
    Spending on other people and most importantly dont judge your future self try to live in the present.

    Congratulations Ben for offering a unique product through your videos. It’s original, unique and personal. Your ideas are very well reasoned and backed by independent research which is something rare in today’s world. I really take a lot of pleasure listening to your ideas and I can see that I’m not alone in the comment section. Each video must be a huge time commitment but what I can tell you from an audience perspective and as someone that don’t usually comment on youtube, your content is different and innovative. Thank you and continue sharing your perspectives!

    Thanks for another insightful video. I have been working my way through Kyle Prevost’s retirement planning course, reading books on the subject (Milevsky’s is the most fun), and talking to people I know who already retired. Very few focus on the money. It’s all the social,health and personal satisfaction components that make or break a person’s enjoyment of their retirement. What you talk about here is a critical part of the process of living a rich, full life!

As a consequence, I'm more focused on retiring than the present. This reminds me that I need to consider reducing my hours or finding a more enjoyable job instead.

    For me, living a good life includes maximizing the amount I can donate to charity to save lives. For example, the Against Malaria Foundation or Malaria Consortium can save a life on average every $4k. This is insanely underfunded from a marginal value perspective - as long as there are equivalently cheap opportunities to make such a huge difference in the world, it’s always going to be worth it to try to earn more money and contribute more.

      Malnutrition is a problem where funds can go a very long way in flourishing people's lives in 3rd world countries. A inexpensive diet that has a good blend of carbs, protein, and fat, as well as essential vitamins and minerals can change the life of a kid who has very little to eat. I appreciate your desire to help in the battle against Malaria! Not taking away from that. Just my own thought.

    Great video. This has me reconsidering FIRE (financial independence retire early). I'm not too frugal, but I know it can be a bit of a trap to make too many lifestyle trade-offs sacrificing the present for the future. I generally enjoy my job and don't think I currently have enough hobbies or other activities that would occupy my time in retirement (even a soft-retirement working part time). My wife and I plan to have kids but haven't begun yet. I'm sure that will change a lot about my lifestyle and perspective.

      Yes, having kids irrevocably changes everything. Or so I've heard; I don't have any.

    I recently read the Geometry of Wealth and the Psychology of Money, and this video is a nice reminder of some of the lessons in those books.
    It's very important to remember what you're working and investing for!

      Don't know if you already know this but Ben actually interviewed both of the authors for those books, Brian Portnoy and Morgan Housel, on his podcast "Rational Reminder." Brian Portnoy was ep. 102 (June 2020), and Housel was ep. 128 (Dec 2020). It's on their website, as well as Spotify and apple podcasts. That Brian Portnoy episode changed the way I view the rest of my career in finance lol

    Hello Ben,
    I speak directly from Brazil and would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge in finance. There are many things on the internet that are useless and unfounded. Get on with your work.
    Congratulations!

    This probably is the best video of the whole series. Thanks Ben for the enormous value you are delivering to us at no cost (for us). For you I imagine this huge effort ticks the goals for engagement, relationship, meaning and accomplishment. For us this is an absolute treasure trove.

    Another reason why Ben is the best investment advisor on TH-cam 🙏 What drew me to index investing is the ability to have more time for things in life that really matter. Ben's analysis just helped me to let go of fomo seeing people stock pick.
