This episode is brought to you by Pepsi Max. Christmas is great, but there's loads of ways to make it better.

Like sneaking some chili into the gravy for some extra oint or build in a playlist that will even get your

none up on the table or just cracking open an ice cold Pepsi Max.

Christmas. Better with Pepsi Max.

Today radical personal finance, let's celebrate a little bit.

I'm going to celebrate episode 500 of the show, and I'm going to celebrate episode 500 of the show and I'm going to celebrate with you

your personal financial accomplishments. Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, the show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge,

while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less. My name is Joshua and I am your

host. Today we will focus on the encouragement part of that little slogan that I lead off

every show with by hearing your stories and your voices and what radical

personal finance has meant for you. For you. Today's going to be a special show, episode 500.

average them all out some of my three-hour marathon shows and some of my little five

and ten and 15-minute little shows I would bet that the average length of radical personal finance would come

out, who knows, an hour, 45 minutes, something like that. So if we were to say that there are 500

hours of radical personal finance, means that see if you listen

24 hours a day at 500 hours total it would take you 20 full days to get through the

archives of radical personal finance that's a lot of talking. I'm tired. And I know that many of you have

been with me since the very beginning. I've received a number of emails from

people who said Joshua was there when you first

published the inaugural 10 episodes of the show and then went disappeared for a year.
