Listen "How To Waste Your Life (or hopefully, not) SB1710"
Episode Synopsis
Ever feel like you're working hard but getting nowhere? You're not alone—and you might be stuck in a productivity trap, not a purpose-driven plan. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, we tackle the big one: how to avoid wasting your life. (No pressure.)
Joe Saul-Sehy kicks things off with a tongue-in-cheek nod to all the ways we fritter away time—before pivoting into a power-packed conversation on building meaningful goals and avoiding common life derailers.
He’s joined by two all-star minds in money and behavior:
Paula Pant from Afford Anything, who reminds us that "you can afford anything—but not everything," and
Jordan Grumet from Earn & Invest, who offers the life-and-death perspective (literally—he’s a hospice doctor) on why we need to act now, not later.
Together with OG and Doug, the roundtable unpacks six common ways people unknowingly waste their lives, including:
Being "busy" instead of effective
Letting fear of failure hijack your plans
Overthinking every move
Paralysis from too many choices
Constant hustle with no progress
Indecision dressed up as careful planning
You’ll hear hard-earned lessons, subtle mindset shifts, and tips for creating financial and personal momentum. Plus:
The surprising link between indecision and regret, backed by Dr. Ellen Langer’s research
Smart strategies for eliminating distractions and taking better action
The difference between motion and movement—especially when it comes to your goals and your money
And, of course, we sprinkle in some classic basement banter, a rowdy trivia throwdown, and Joe’s favorite kind of weekend preview (the kind where no one actually follows their own advice).
Why this episode is worth your time:
Whether you’re staring down your 2025 goals or still recovering from a rough Q1, this is your shot of clarity. No judgment—just real talk from people who’ve been there, made the spreadsheet, and occasionally lit it on fire.
🎯 You’ll walk away with:
A clearer idea of what’s holding you back
Practical ways to structure smarter financial goals
Permission to stop doing all the things and start doing the right things
