🎙Hope and motivation, the fuckboys of emotions
This week the Chickens lady with the annoying AF voice again. But, again: she’s G O O O D (“don’t judge a book by its cover” / in this case “don’t judge good advice by her annoying voice and awkward laughs”).
This week’s episode was gud. The first 15 minutes are a tribute to RBG (praise!) the latter 15 are about “hope” and “motivation” - the fuckboys of the scala of emotions that are out there.
If you’ve been living under a stone, fuckboiiiiiiiis’ definition
Chickens lady mentioned people are losing hope since RBG’s death. But hope, just like motivation, are productions of feelings you control. Also, you can’t purely rely on hope or motivation to get things started/to keep things moving.
Hope doesn’t create a revolution. Commitment does
“RBG didn’t only work on the days she had hope, she was committed”.
Listen to understand why you can’t just rely on motivation or “to feel like it” to get things started.
📚Always disappoint others
Vales recommended this book to me after her well-deserved break. We’re both fans of self-care, people and think the world is messed up in its ways - except for ourselves. We are two magnificent perfect ladies.
The reviews of this book were all over the place. But V’s quote below made me put it on my to-read list and that’s why you should too:
Hallelujah Amen.
📈Buying REITs instead of a house
I thought buying stocks meant buying parts of companies/raw materials.
Then Tony coined “Real Estate Investment Trusts”
Bluntly: REITS are lower risk, lower work and lower returns versus investing in real estate. I invested a little bit in Digital Realy Trust (NYSE:DLR), that operates data centres that have customers like Facebook. It’s been up for roundabout 20% this year and pays 3.1% dividend.
I probably lost more with transactions costs and FX-rates but feel like a real big baller now being able to call myself a REIT-owner. And isn’t that what it is all about? #braggingrights
Please be aware the above is a compilation of Investopedia x Reddit. My last “legit” encounter with financial management was in a course called “Financial Management” taught in 2009 at uni. IDKWTFIM (short for “I don’t know what the F I’m doing”). You know the drill: if you lose money don’t come knocking at my door, if you become a millionaire you should def buy me a boat 💩.

If you’re still here…
If you came to this part - I changed the email format. Its formatting is much simpler (read: ugly) yes I know. But it has commenting/prob better SEO/community features. Leave a “switch back” or “keep it” comment if you love me (don’t leave me hanging here with 0 comments).
Keep it!
i like this new commenting feature
format is not that bad! <3
