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.
I watch a lot of YouTube, especially videos on personal finance. There’s plenty of advice on where to invest and why to save, but I think the primary goal should be to avoid debt. Saving and investing come naturally if you spend less than you earn, but debt can make this goal challenging.
Let’s talk about how to manage personal finances today—income, expenses, savings, and investments. 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!
This video might seem like a strange mix—personal finance and chair building—but I hope you’ve found the blend of topics interesting! If you enjoyed this, please share, like, comment, and subscribe.
