0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.
0:07.0	I'm your host, Corey Muscarra, and in today's episode we're going to talk about how much your ideal day costs.
0:18.0	More to come on that in a moment. First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells. Okay. Okay, so money and happiness. This is a complicated area because a lot of us already hold the perspective that money doesn't buy happiness and yet a lot of our motivations in the world are contrary to this understanding, or it feels more nuanced to us.

2:19.0	is to map out what your ideal day is. What does your ideal day look like? Now we're not talking
2:28.4	about going off to Italy and Positano and chartering a boat out into the ocean and you know the
2:35.7	the 50,000-a-day trip that would be pure luxury and amazing yeah yeah that could be
2:41.8	the ideal day and maybe we have one or two of those in a lifetime.
2:46.6	But I'm talking about just more realistically, when you sense into what gives you fulfillment or you know in the past year or two years
