Finance and Business books have been so helpful. I’m 55 and my wife 50 we are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. No longer putting blames on FED for our misfortunes. Saving and investing lifestyle in the stock market made it possible for us this early, even till now we earn weekly.

Minute 43+ made me cry: "if you have that feeling that somebody will not let you fall, you feel safe"

Man, Ken Honda has been hiding from me for years. I watched this today & I’m so grateful for this beautiful conversation. Ken literally said some of the same things I was sharing with my niece two days ago…in my Kia. 😂😂😂 Wow. The universe has been so loud and proud with the synchronizations to relay the message that I’m on the right path. Serendipity via synchronization hit different. 🔥 3 years from now I’ll remember this moment and chuckle to myself because I’m 100% manifesting my biggest dreams; thus far.

I love you all. See y’all at the peak of joy. ❤️

[alignedgood]

I love this guy! Made me tear up when he said that he wants to 'chat with people and have them feel lighter and more joyful' Such a beautiful soul! It always comes down to 'When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at - CHANGE.' Mindset is everything!!!!

Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

Found this video as I am practically putting my “mediocre gifts” together. I identified what was happening the last couple days. Love the perfect reflection. Having done all the things mentioned already and turned my life attitude around to appreciation and love and lack of fear about previous traumas and I’ve done the ancestral clearings too. I do feel so excited about all the probabilities and possibilities in my future. I’m 51 and now have no home of my own, no car, no 9-5 job, no hubby, but I now know I have these gifts:- “mediocre” healer, teacher, creator, dancer, singer, writer, artist, photographer... and a passion to help others not “hide” away from life. I’ve got the best friends who are supporting me greatly as I transit these days. And I feel the best I’ve yet felt in life as I script my own path . I’ve learnt to trust when I need the pennies or provisions, they come if I just allow it in. Building from scratch but now using my inner resources and gifts to do it right. “I love that man, I love this behaviour confirming find xx 🥰🙏🏻”

Ken Honda's unique perspective on money, especially the idea that 'wealth is an emotion, ' really resonated with me. His approach to finding satisfaction in what we already have, rather than constantly seeking more, is both refreshing and profoundly impactful. Thanks for this enlightening conversation! 🙏

The value in this is UNREAL —- Appreciate this to the Max

[chrysr]

I like the idea that money is an enabler. It helps you to the do things you want to do but it in itself means nothing and the pursuit of it blindly cannot lead to happiness.

I love what Ken said about his father and grandfather gives him so much energy to transmute it for a force of good to do what he does. He is very insightful
