Let's do our quote of the day. This one comes from Jay Martin Truest, who said,

There's a reason there are oodles of young Aussies, Germans, Japanese, and even Chinese backpackers traipsing around the world. They are unencumbered by debilitating student loans.

No such luck for the American theater arts major with $120,000 in loans. Isn't that the truth? You wonder how much of an effect is our method of paying for college, affecting our lives, the lives of our young people, how we live in our 20s and 30s?

You really wonder when you look at the way some of these other countries are doing it, if we're really doing it right or not.

At any rate, today is March 22nd. This is going to go live on April 8th. It's been quite a spring. Hope things are going well for you. They are certainly going well for us.

Our coronavirus counts keep trending down and I am going multiple shifts now without seeing a positive COVID patient.

I hope you are having the same experience and looking forward to the day when most of us are vaccinated and none of us are wearing masks.

I suspect I'll be wearing one at work for a good chunk of the rest of the year, but looking forward to maybe not wearing it everywhere else.

If you haven't checked out our YouTube channel, you should. Our YouTube channel just surpassed 10,000 subscribers.

In case you didn't know, you can watch us record the podcast on YouTube. I'm actually sitting in front of a camera right now. And almost every time we record a podcast episode, we also record video and put it up on YouTube.

Most of the interviews we do are also recorded on videos so you can see the guests there as well. We do this for the WCI podcast episodes as well as the milestones to millionaire episodes.
