Your 20s Are a Unique Window: Why You Should Optimize for Adventure Before Career - with Jack Raines
Jack Raines, a writer and investor at Slow Ventures and author of Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, joins the show to talk about how to think about money and time in your twenties. He discusses why golden handcuffs are usually a choice, how to tell whether you're staying in a job for the right reasons or out of fear, and why the same decision can be right at 24 and wrong at 34. The conversation covers comparison, apathy, the $6,000-to-$400,000 stock bubble trade he gave much of back, and why hitting a financial number rarely feels like the finish line people expect.
