Whenever we get into the throes of a hotly contested election, people threaten to leave if their preferred candidate loses. Most don't ever leave, of course. But should they?

I'm not sure they should leave. Leaving is a drastic step and response. But I'm sure that most people should prepare to leave. Or make a plan to leave. And today I'll share with you the argument and the methods!

In today's show I'm welcoming Steven Harris back to the show to discuss investing in commodities. When most people think of investing in commodities, they immediately think of gold and silver.

One year ago my wife and I decided to teach our children Spanish. At the time, they spoke zero Spanish. We succeeded in the project even though:

• They don't have anybody speaking Spanish to them full-time

In this episode, I'll teach you how I did it.

The New York Times recently published a story on the analysis of President Trump's tax returns. 

Allegedly, Trump has not paid any income taxes in 10 out of the last 15 years.

In today's podcast I analyze the financial planning behind the details in the article and teach you how you can use the same techniques Trump uses to shelter his income from taxes.

“To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea… “cruising” it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

“I’ve always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can’t afford it.” What these men can’t afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of “security.” And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine – and before we know it our lives are gone.

What does a man need – really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in – and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That’s all – in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade.

The years thunder by. The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.

Where, then, lies the answer?

In choice. Which shall it be – bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?”

It's Friday! We have a Q&A show today. But please listen. My economic concern continues to grow and I want you to be prepared for what could happen economically in the future. It's very serious.

• 1:15 I have a family member stuck in Costa Rica. How do they get home?
• 4:10 I'm about to get a tax refund. What should I do with the money?
• 33:05 Should I be working in California or Spain at the moment? How can I profit from the current crisis?
• 52:25 Why should I have thousands and thousands of dollars of physical currency available to me right now?
• 1:16:15 How can I properly integrate a Dave Ramsey portfolio into my life?

Your goals can be changed in an instant; the seas cannot. It's easier to simply change your goals than the seas ahead.

Joshua

Perhaps, like me, you're having a hard time getting your brain to accept what you're seeing around you and on the news and you're trying to figure out what's going on.

In working through this problem, I decided to chart out my Best-Case Scenario and my Worst-Case Scenario for both the medical problem of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic outlook.

I figured I might as well turn the microphone on and let you listen in.

I hope it's useful.

I'm fascinated by the reports and videos coming out of Wuhan, China. I've never before seen a city of 11 million people shut down for a quarantine. I don't think it's every been done before! But it's amazing to watch.

Today, I want you to think about what would happen to you and your family if you were quarantined for an extended time.

If I sent you home and said you and your family had to stay there for the next 30 days, could you do it? Would you survive? Would you be comfortable?

If not, you're behaving irresponsibly. And you need to prepare for such a thing.

To start, you probably need to buy some food. In this show I give you some practical foods to start with.

Enjoy,

Joshua

In today's show I share with you some fat loss and money lessons learned from my 70 pounds of weight loss over the last 6 months.

I want you to live as a free man. So in this series, I'm working to give you some ideas as to how you can achieve a very high level of freedom while you're on your way to financial independence.

Today, I'm going to share with you the dramatic impact that home education can make on your family's personal liberty.

You should set a goal of getting a better job. Here's why!

Joshua

In this series, I aim to give you some ideas that have helped me to develop an extremely free lifestyle, even though I'm not yet financially independent.

Today, I'm going to share with you one of the single greatest assets that I enjoy in my quest for personal freedom: a stay-at-home wife.

This lifestyle choice is one of the things that has most meaningfully contributed to the joy and freedom that my family experiences.

It's also helped us massively financially.

Consider it for yourself!

Today I have an interesting essay to share with you. Have you ever thought of The Missionary Position as a path to a life of global freedom?

:)

I want you to experience a lifestyle of freedom and liberty, in every sense of the word. So today we begin a new series called "Seven Rings of Freedom."

Achieving financial independence will make you more free. But there are a bunch of things that you can do along the way that will greatly increase your freedom.

Today, we discuss Spiritual Liberty. If you are personally, spiritually free, you can enjoy peace and joy and contentment in your situation, no matter what the details of your situation are. You can be a human slave and be completely free, if you possess spiritual freedom.

For that reason, we begin our series with Spiritual Liberty and a discussion of why Christianity is the superior path to Spiritual Liberty.
