In this video, I'm creating a sculpted walnut chair-for no real practical reason, just so I can watch YouTube in style and comfort. And take naps. But as I build, I want to connect this project with a discussion about technology, household debt, and spending habits.

My goal? To leave you with a fresh perspective on how easily we part with our money-and how we might manage it better.

This topic resonates with me not only because I'm a certified CPA, but also because I've spent years advising friends and family on everything from retirement to tax planning. Now, I'm combining this financial insight with my woodworking journey. It may seem like an unusual blend, but hopefully, you find it interesting!

I discuss the following:
1. the primary goal of personal finance;
2. the difference between now and a few decades ago;
3. the role technology has played;
4. how to manage money to avoid debt; and
5. tips for folks like me who want to start documenting their builds on YouTube.

If you enjoyed this, please share, like, comment, and subscribe. Your engagement helps me know if I'm on the right track, and it could help the algorithm show this content to others who might enjoy it too.

And I'd love to hear your thoughts! Are your financial habits closer to your parents' or to mine? Let me know in the comments.

NOTE: I used Rustic Walnut. Basically it has more colour variation than regular Walnut but costs half as much!

About me:
Hi, I'm Sami. I'm a CPA by profession and a father of two. If you're wondering who chose "woodywoodwood", now you know!

Before diving into woodworking as a hobby, I often found myself providing financial advice to friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, and even strangers. I was helping with everything from investment strategies and business advice to tax planning, retirement planning, and more. Once I started woodworking, I found myself not only discussing financial matters but also custom furniture projects.

Through this experience, I realized there's a real demand for both financial advice and woodworking content. That's when I decided to create this channel. My goal is to merge my professional expertise in finance with my passion for woodworking and share valuable insights and tips with you all.

And thank you to Dusty Lumber, Blacktail Studio, Pedulla Studio and countless others for sharing their incredible projects on YouTube. I have learned everything from them.
