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, any limited resource

that you need to manage, saying yes to something implicitly carries trade-offs.

And that opens up to questions. First, what matters most? And second, how do you make decisions

that align with what you really want?

Answering those two questions is a lifetime practice. And that's what this podcast is

here to explore and facilitate. My name is Paula Pant. I am the host of the Affordable

Every other episode we answer questions that come from you. And today, former financial

planner, Joe Salcihi joins me to answer these questions. What's up, Joe?

Paula, I come here with big news. What's that?

I just started writing my name again in cursive, which I think has become my signature move.

Ha! Come on, come on, who's with me? How are you, Paula? You're doing well tonight.

I was. I'm so happy to be here. Oh, fantastic. We've got, as always, four fantastic questions.

The questions that we receive tend to center around a specific theme. We never try for

this. We don't select our questions in that way. But today, all of the questions that

we're going to answer deal fundamentally with a trade-off. A trade-off, right, with the

question of what do I want most and or what do I not want least? Yeah.

So our first question comes from Sarah.

Hi, Paula and Joe. I love listening to your podcast and I can't wait to hear your advice.
