The question is moving back with my parents to go to school in a nutshell: ok,
The situation here are you.
at the same money for location.
I would definitely to say right.
Location not really cares, it'll, be it basically able camp. You actually line three months if it was full time the
roger had bigger meta continue working. What I'm doing? What do the gig economy goober
living out of our being beaten, my girlfriend moorish ammo and doing the book and part time which will take twice the time but
they want to have an emotional tall about the apparent yet ass. My question it what's
living with your parents like so actually it's better than actually
my parents, are we I'll be blessed enough? It's not as bad as I think somebody let it with my girlfriend and porter ego
the their grandparents,
have a house which is pretty available to ask us to live there and he before, but
There is the issue of my mom, who then very very early, be set for most my life, which is why, in order not to wake up.

friends, grandparents house, or are going to put a request to live with your mom now to live with my girlfriend grandparents
do they pathway and they gave the house to her toward it.
Parents come into play
more really having to have their their funding as well out the work for my dad after it can't every day
and hear how just having to face them on a daily basis or almost daily thesis. Ok, but its back the thing up soon.
you started the call asking, should you live with your parents to go to college,
now, you're, saying shit. I look back over the lady called me to say to you at the questioning of the council, but more loaded, yeah well
The whole thing seemed like a mass.
Is this full time the school or yard for full time it fits firelight, mine,
at twenty or forty hours, a yes and its in person, now
My remarks are you can live anywhere technically ass
If my dad is funding it I'm having to ask them, but I would have shootings on me. What would it take for you to cash flow this, and do this on your terms, because it's
like right now is a lotta, handcuffs and red tape and strings to write.
For me to do it in my turn, to outdo part time so twenty hours a week to camp? I don't believe in time. I believe you, here's lie.
I didn't mean age these, in a masters degree working on a full time, job prague, my my full time, jobs, probably fifty five hours a week.
Maybe signal you didn't get there. I was saying that the blue canvas part I'll, be working a full time job
What jobs to be doing

the customers, except specially I'm waiting to four rounds.
With their team, around waiting thou have those tooting lined up

bit of part time of our guard and grow up. Listen
the chaos in complexity that you're gonna,
into whether its living in your girlfriend's grandparents house and he gave it to her, but she that
or going
a verbal abuse of parents that you're gonna have to work to and I'm gonna have to depend on them like the do don't.
I know why you enter into any of that. Chaos wins
six months, you're gonna have the same thing and you're gonna have six months
full time. Work experience as well to go on top of this credential that you're gonna get correct
I know three months may in ninety days. Look at it as if there is no other option other than Michael's got to figure this out for himself. He's got to figure out how he's going to survive. Live work go to school, and if you do
with that way. You're gonna get real creative, real, fast right and that's what I'm doing
for now, but I just I think, I'd let the boy you my parents,

The bench press not as much as george Mitchell, beheld a bench press a little bit more and you

And I know that matter and he saw denied none for more helpful here. That's right, yeah

that's my things you do. It will do so. We did an episode called guilt tipping how to deal with an absurd tipping culture and it was
tip of the iceberg, because now, John according to wall street journal tipping

so you and the machine and the machine says money please. This is wild
prompt to leave twenty percent hisself check out machines that airport stadiums, cookie shops cafes across the country are rankling
Consumers already inundated by the proliferation of tipp Screens-
Ten dollar words. Could this author fit? And here it is the wall street journal and here's the
crazy part, business owner, say the autumn. The automated cues can significantly increase gratuities and boost staff, pay. Your wealth can boost staff, pay, paying them more.
and not cheap. La bosses and leaders today
and here is a quote from a senior at american university in DC their cutting.
Because by doing so check out? So what's the point of asking for a tip in wears a going anti?
Researchers did no. That was a job
and labour advocate, say so called tipp creep as away for employers to put the onus for the employees to pay.

to a businesses do they take him. Is opportunities, rightly see a glitch in the matrix, and there are able to make some money. Fine, I
It is on ethical to put
onus of paying your employees on the. In addition,
due to the product or service that somebody just purchased to put that on the the purchaser. That's insane be a growth
pay your employees, what they're worth, if you think they ve done a job,
on pay them, for it don't be late.
I don't know man this.
The thing is, is I don't?
the second asleep over this crap, because
they can do whatever they want. It's on me.
A culture that is so sad when somebody makes them feel a certain way there making.
You feel sad at the chaos will, then that's on you dude. If the key ask that you have
gone and got your own water, it put it on a self check out in it asked you for a tip, and that makes you said: that's not the businesses fault. That's your fault, you!
to go to counselling and get friends, and also don't tweet about it? Just don't do it and if you.
stop doing it, it will go away. We have a code,
So if you don't read about it, didn't even happen. I see this is bad philosophy, rope, but
I I mean he's not to lose a second asleep and you're gonna love this description of twenty six year old, who works and pr new york city said the prompt in
General is a bit of emotional blackmail. My gosh now for sure this section this this this saying

Like emotional blackmail. It just feels awkward because
I'm, not giving you thirty eight percent up right now. If it's like my
barber, something that's fine, but yes, if I
Look at some seventeen year old in
This exchange, like I'm sorry, that your boss doesn't pay you very well and they're, trying to guilt me into giving you more or just to make automate me giving more fine, but I dont feel guilty.
About it. It's not emotional blackmail is an awkward. Yeah can be awkward, but I'm
do what I think right and situation and move
by the underground one of the biggest disagreements, my wife and I have is I over tips, I'm always over tipping what this is doing for me. Is it
making me reconvening otherwise correct. Well, I don't think that for
sk gratuity is any kind of generosity, such generosity,
gratuity, it's a cost right, so either.

five cents or
and pay your employees what there actually worth or
move

comes a demand or when it comes like a it

The calls Andrew joins us up next in kansas city Andrew
welcome to the show. What's going on with you,
things were taken. My call
sorry. I wanted to in a nutshell, to ask how does
How does one pursue an art
just a career while making
while trying to find ways to make passive income, oh so there
two opposing things happening,
two opposing goals: why passive income
Currently, the job done
perform right now is not what I would call high paying and I wanted to find ways to make passive income and my ultimate goal. You could, you could say desire,
would be to get into the creative arts?
What does that mean? When you say creative arts?
I'm thinking either acting or writing. Ok
So you want to be an actor slash. Writer
and you need money right now until you have that career dialed in Zaragoza, because yet it's you know it's a subjective.
Old, and you only have to go to the other people. Thank you are so I'm constitution,
That's not true at all. Yours
good, as you are talented now, whether they hire you or not, is a different thing and they might hire you me and george can both
exceptional actors, but if they're looking for somebody who's dashing in handsome and clearly intelligent, looking they're gonna go with george
if they want to make. It looks a little bit rough around the edges. They might go with me and so.
That you're heading into a job in the creative arts already saying won't do anything about it. Just can be subject. That's not true.
everybody can there it Larry. We really tough. Yes! Now, if it
gonna be a hard road to how to make a living doing those two things hundred percent does not
objectivity edges and enter the market lethal chat
tea and all that it is of it's it's a wild time to be a writer, so why
Time to be an actor right,
in the old days of residuals. Those are largely gone and you're just you're, just gig, to gig to gig it's a tough, it's a tough life and for those people
George- and I know that do this- for living, they love every second of it.
most of the seconds right. So don't
into an already sour or you won't you ve gotta go.
With optimism and joy, and this has to be something that you have to do otherwise is going
tough, tough log man right just
We feel like there's so much that against you, if you're not already in it, like the caribbean,
but in the door it's gonna be a really hard regardless, but here's a
this idea that I'm gonna use passive income as like a launch ramp too.
Career is the wrong path.
you're, seeking out a short cut that doesn't even exists. Passive income is a myth.
we ve just been watching too much tiktok and instagram. If we think we're just gonna get all those mailbox money, that's going to float our dream jobs, it doesnt work
And so what I would do, if I were you find something that you can sinker teeth into full time that pays more while we go.
Acting eggs on the side and start to work on our writing chops and start to submit those in getting to acting in writing groups in improv class,
is and meet people and interact. That's the only
path that I've ever seen. Actually work so limit. Let me walk
a couple of things to see, get the other side of this guy
jordan. I aren't actors, we do act like we're friends and we're not, but other than that we were not actors, but we are
or on stages. We are in front of video cameras. We are doing we're all recording doing scripts all that all day long. We both right, sir,
I remember walking out of the building one day before
what I would call a casual shoot the following day with day,
a couple of their personalities.
Dave ramsay and a couple of
personalities who were world class speakers, but doing this for a decade or so we're on
stage mom
linked to themselves holding a script. They were practicing they
one stages of six, seven, ten thousand people, and they are going to do a small event front of a couple hundred and they're up. There practicing also george
and I both right. We both sir kay, would you read this for me: hey we check them out. We have editors that we work with sometimes
join writers group, that's just based on studying humor, so it can be funnier and be more engaging. It's a concept
actors in we're already employed sincerity, our job, some of the great-
actors. I know they took waiter jobs and they practised different accents with
different tables and they would write a small script and memorize it themselves and go
use it with the particular person.
at the at the table there
constantly working on their craft. They were not just sitting around waiting for the craft to come to them because it won't writer
right all the
think in time they write blogs, they write letters and they write journal entries in they write chapters, that's just what they do cause that's who they are, if you like,
writers, that's their identity, that's what they do, and so this you can't
fort man. You gotta go, get it in. Like george said, if you get
stop driving practice. Your act
in practice, monologues practice, ideas and talk
into a voice recorder while you're driving and they type amount
for thirty in the morning the next morning. That's how you make it get a full
I'm gig and in the evening time go trot.
it commercials in your local area, I mean it's, it is:
hard whore everybody
it's to be an actor. It's a fun life me and everyone wants to be on stage. It's a fun life. It's a grueling, hard one to see
like jello, georgia love. You said that the whole
get that passive income thing really is male. You money like that.
during covert- and it's not gonna happen again right here
ok, so we're ruining your dreams here, man. What do you think in here? Well something
I I am. I do. I have an agent and I started writing some.
short stories that sir there I just I just don't know if there is any good,
people would even want to get him or he'll get a group, a guinea writers group.
if, as a right of your but I've, gotta writers group, I've got people on the side that read my stuff ya. Get writers. Group, manta they'll, tell you too,
It's my life, my follow up. Question would be
for someone who is almost
middle aged

just never, but there's a lot
of belief and andrew and a lack of confidence use at my works. No one's gonna with my works, not great! I don't think I
If you do it there's
a lack of hope- and I wonder whether this job in my forties,
in common started, his job and his forties. Now
we have years of work leading up to these jobs. Where we are both for writers, he was doing a radio stuff. He was doing interviewing. I was doing public speaking all over the place, but we didn't start this job.

I've and J joins us up next in chicago J welcome movement. The show up. I thank you for accepting my call sure. What's goin on,
So my question is: I was wondering if it is too late to negotiate about medical collection that already states that are already started paying for
So this is already in collections, so you weren't paying on it for awhile collections, bought it what's left on the debt.
so it started at like forty two hundred now is doubted.
Twenty three hundred,
do you have an agreement with them of how much you're paying each month so the thing is: I first got that medical

allowed to negotiate. You know due to the fact of
the creditor is I've never heard that who's. The cradle.
I've never heard it either, but when I called the creditor like it was true
