Joel Osteen from Every Day is Friday. Wake up each day thankful and happy for what you have. It’s truly a blessing. (And I am not religious). Dave Ramsey from Financial Peace- everything that dude says. My dad-never fight a losing battle. Several people- it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. To not be fat eat 10 calories per desired weight (if you want to weigh 200 lbs eat 2000 calories) lift 4 x a week, do cardio 4x a week.
A very long time ago - before Dave Ramsey came onto the financial scene, a good friend told me once: "Just because you can afford something, it doesn't mean you should."
Best advice I've ever received.
I credit that advice for being able to retire in three years at the age of 54. There's much to be said for living below one's means, saving money, investing wisely, tithing to one's church and living a simple lifestyle.
