| 0:00.0 | So let's talk about why we're doing this podcast. This really is a discussion of highly practical |
| 0:05.6 | philosophy. Philosophy, as we normally think of it, is impractical. It's something that's put up |
| 0:11.6 | on a pedestal. It's something that was written a long time ago in fancy language, very abstract, |
| 0:17.3 | very obtuse. And perhaps some of it feels like truisms to us and some of it feels unapproachable. |
| 0:23.5 | But really, for anyone, if you live long enough, you become a philosopher because you start trying |
| 0:28.1 | to solve the big problems in your life. And the big problems are the old ones. They're the ones |
| 0:32.4 | that we've been trying to solve since the beginning. How do I stay happy? How do I become healthy? |

| 1:11.9 | Health is just the state of being well. So let us get to the state of health in our finances. |
| 1:18.7 | So we're not fearful day to day. And that's where we started. We spent a lot of time on that. |
| 1:22.6 | Let's get to the place in physical health where we are not suffering from |
| 1:27.6 | defliction, disease, and addictions. And let's get to the state of mental health where we're |
| 1:32.4 | relatively at peace and quite content with ourselves. Even though you can certainly achieve |
| 1:37.6 | happiness and mental health with our financial health, the truth is in modern society, most of us |
| 1:43.7 | understand that financial wealth can give us freedom. It can give us time. It can give us peace. |
| 1:48.5 | You're not going to buy your way to happiness, but you will buy your way out of common causes |
