Summary
Every once in a while we like to step back and think about our work. Why do we do it? Are we doing a good thing? There are a lot of misconceptions of work floating around the internet and our workplaces today. There’s the generally more millennial-ish, romanticized view of work as a calling and a means of personal fulfillment, and on the flip side there’s the end goal of a stable career where your loyalty and daily grind results in a predictable paycheck but maybe not much else - many of us fall somewhere on this spectrum. Regardless of your current views toward work, we want you to know that work is a wonderful thing and yet work isn’t everything. Viewing work in a healthy way takes intentionality and balance! Join us as we cover a few key concepts central to developing a healthy philosophy toward work.
During this episode we shared a Hawaiian Christmas Land by Little Cottage Brewery which you can find and learn all about on Untappd.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to How To Money. I'm Joel and I'm Matt and today we're discussing cultivating a healthy view of work. |
| 0:06.7 | Alright Joel, we are back from the break. We are actually back from Christmas break as well. |
| 0:30.1 | Yeah, Merry Christmas to everyone out there. Hope you guys had an excellent holiday and it was spent with people that you cared about and just lots of fun downtime. Aren't you hoping that I had a wonderful birthday too? |
| 0:41.1 | Uh, kind of. We celebrated together, dude. We always celebrate your birthday together. |
| 0:46.1 | My birthday is on Christmas Eve and lately our families have gotten together which is an awesome way for us to kind of grow up a little bit. |
| 0:53.1 | You know, like when you're kind of single and you're younger I guess it's kind of expected that you always spend a lot of your holidays with your with your family probably like you should. |
| 1:01.1 | But now that we are kind of growing up, we've got our own kids and we are starting to set our own traditions as individual families. |
| 1:08.1 | But then collectively the How To Money family we bring everyone all together and yeah we always have a good time. |
| 1:13.1 | Yeah, and we can celebrate holidays however we want now is where adults. Nobody can tell us what to do. |
| 1:18.1 | Well, our wives can tell us what to do. So that's a good point. That's a good point. |
| 1:22.1 | I wanted to let everyone know Matt that if they got a gift card specifically over the holidays that they should consider spending it really soon. |
| 1:29.1 | And that's because there are over a billion dollars in unused gift cards lying around in people's stock drawers. |
| 1:35.1 | That's such a bummer because that's free money right and so gift cards can oftentimes be a thoughtful gift but it turns out that the recipient doesn't always use it. |
| 1:44.1 | So if you got a gift card make sure you put it in your wallet and your purse make sure it's in a usable place so that you can get to it within the first few weeks of the new year. |
| 1:53.1 | Use that gift card because I don't want your gift card to add to that number of unused gift cards. |
| 1:58.1 | We actually want you to get use out of the presence that you've been given. |
| 2:00.1 | Yeah, man, use it to lose it. |
| 2:02.1 | Yeah, if it's to a place that you're not super into consider selling it on the secondary gift card market right like seriously there are websites out there where you can sell your gift card. |
| 2:11.1 | In particular, there's an aggregator called gift card granny dot com gift card what gift card granny granny granny. |
| 2:17.1 | Nice. |
| 2:18.1 | So you can go there. |
| 2:20.1 | I really hope it was a grandma that actually started this site because that would be awesome. |
