#1 CNBC + Planet Money Alone Do Not A Happy Life Make
from Business News and Other Sh!t · host Amer Abdullah
Welcome to 'Business News and Other $#!T', I am your host Amer and thank you so much for tuning in to a show that has been called the perfect listen for busy fifth graders with ADD. I am an aspiring stand up comedian, improvisor and stay at home dad. In a previous life I graduated from the University of Chicago (cough - the Harvard of the midwest) with an A.B. in Economics and for 10 long years I worked as an Executive director for JP Morgan (cough - selling my soul). You may be asking why someone in their right mind with a wife and two kids would give up such a prestigious and profitable position to become a lowly comedian? And to that I would say uh because it's way more fun and maybe don't be such a jerk about it.... Our goal with the show is to entertain you with funny stories, jokes, and one liners about investing and hopefully make you a stronger and more financially secure young person. Basically we want to help you increase the size of your back up stash. Back up stash being that secret stash of money that keeps you afloat after you tell that horrible boss to get effed and/or you want to travel around South East Asia for 6 months. So join us every Thursday as we tell some funny stories, some jokes, have a good ol time, and maybe learn some important things. 3:00 Intro to “Business News and Other $#!+”. 5:00 Why tariffs don't matter. 7:00 This dude mispronounced my name 3 times. Fears I have nothing interesting to say. One of my intentions is to look Amer's dragon in the eye. 11:30 2nd Goal. Impact on my issue with money. Voluntary poverty. Lived on both spans at the spectrum. Potential show name: "The Middle Side" not living your best life due to money. "CNBC and Planet Money alone do not a happy life make" 16:00 The pro's ask what should I be buying? 21:00 Ramadan negative thoughts fast from sunrise to sunset. Embrace the negative thoughts. Love the sound effects 24:00 Changing your career 27:00 Recessions are not precipitated by the fed Bank Robbing Scene but with derivatives 33:00 Is fraud happening in America? 35:00 Beliefs about money. 37:00 Can the govt prevent the destruction of the financial system as a whole? Dad opening a crypto account. Josie the house cleaner getting a home loan 600k loan
