QUITTING YOUR JOB MIGHT BE A MISTAKE...

You shouldn't stay at a job for really longer than two or so because folks who were job jumpers ended up making double the amount versus job stayers over the course of their lifetime. However, at the time of us recording this, the job market looks very different. And that's a fancy way to say, right? Studies, studies that show the job jumpers, the stayers, how much they're making is actually converging right now. So the kind of takeaway is, if you are at a job that's paying you decently, that you're continuing to make money, you might want to sit butt tight. But every single job you have, you either have to be learning, earning, ideally both. And so some you take the money, it's nice, right? Everybody wants money. We talked about that earlier. But learning is important. I wasn't getting paid the most when I moved from JP Morgan to go work at BuzzFeed, but I learned so much about industry, so much about media, and look where that led to. So I'm doing ideally, learning and earning, ideally both. And if both and getting paid, sit tight. It's a tough time right now. I have to call out the elephant in the room because I think this is what everyone's brain is right now. For the first time, it might be better to stay. The cost of goods and services has increased 25% where it was in 2020. Yeah. Making life feel so unaffordable. And I feel like I have conversations with people who are just like, anxious, anxious about the economy, anxious about money. What would you say to that person to rewire their brain as to the opportunities right now? Some of the most successful businesses actually started during recessions, during downturns of economics. 0809, gave rise to a slew of companies that we now take for granted, things like Uber and DoorDash and all excited. Also, which, a downturn gave unimaginable wealth growth. But I do want to be really honest. It's going to be hard for you to take opportunities if you do not have the cash flow to do so. My mentor gave me a piece of advice that's stuck with me my whole life. You can only save as much as you earn, but you can always earn more money. If you make $100,000 a year, if you buy food, if you don't pay taxes, anything, you save $100,000. So instead of trying to cut out every single little discretionary expense that $100,000 spent, why not just try to make an extra 10 grand? Make an extra 15. That's going to be a lot easier to do than saying no coffee, no anything. Like, your life sucks. Don't. I encourage people to think about how they can get more coming in now. Because if we do see a real downturn, it's going to be your greatest opportunity.
