You can afford anything but not everything.

Every choice that you make is a trade-off against something else and that doesn't just

apply to your money.

That applies to your time, your focus, your energy, your attention to any limited resource

that you need to manage, saying yes to something implicitly.

Carries trade-offs.

And that opens up two questions first, what matters most, second, how do you align your

choices around that which matters most?

Answering those two questions is a lifetime practice and that's what this podcast is here

to explore and facilitate.

My name is Paula Pat.

I'm the host of the Afford Anything Podcast.

Every couple of weeks, every other week, we answer questions that come from you and my

buddy, Joe Salcihi, former financial plan and former money guy on Detroit's WXYZ TV.

Joins me to answer these questions.

What's up, Joe?

You know what else I used to do, Paula?

I used to work in a Pepsi bottling plant.

You're going to tell me some high school job, aren't you?

Well, I had to quit because it was so depressing.

Oh, sorry.

It's early here, Paula.
