This is a question from Daniel, who's 28 years old. He says, Literally two days ago, my girlfriend broke up with me because she claims I'm financially irresponsible. In my eyes, I'm investing in a career that I want. I work a steady job as a freelance videographer and make anywhere from 2k to 5k a month, depending on the clients and workload. My success is definitely coming in a lot slower than I'd like, or better yet, she would like. But I'm determined and I communicated that I don't plan to stop. Also, for more context, this is my second time dumping money on a passion project this year. We're not even talking about last year. Lol.

Yeah, I mean, look, the answer is both of you can be right in this scenario. Like, there doesn't have to be someone who's wrong or right. Like, she's allowed to make a subjective opinion if she thinks your strategies on how you handle your money don't work for her for the kind of financial partner she's looking for in her life. She's allowed, you know, and long term, she may regret this decision or it might be the best decision that ever happened. You're also allowed to not conform and get a regular job or do something. You are not in a place where you have to make a certain amount of money or do a certain thing to appease a partner either. There are unbelievable amounts of women in the world that will love you for what you do, for how you do it. Financial, what is financial success? It's different to everyone. Is $100,000 a year enough to make to, you know, for many women and men, it is. For many women and men, it's not. I don't judge what people are looking for. They're gonna have to live with that. If a woman is only looking to marry a man who makes a million dollars a year and she breaks up with a couple of guys along the way that treated her better at 62, she may regret that. Maybe she doesn't. She's allowed. Same for men. Same for men that mar. I mean, do you know how many. We always love to say women are gold diggers. You know, many men are gold diggers. There's a lot of men who are trying to marry rich girls or girls that have rich dads or like, there's a lot of shit going on in the world. The answer to this question is all of it works. Neither are necessarily right or wrong on surface level. Both could be wrong in, like, in real life. I just don't have all that context, but it will all play itself out. But I would say, but what I would say is, you know, like, don't cry. Like don't cry for. Don't cry when someone leaves you. That's where I'm. That's, that's the I'm about. Do not cry when someone leaves you. Be self reflective. Think about if there's something you want to do different and be better. Be accountable. Like be accountable, but don't cry. There's. I don't know if you guys know there's 8 billion people on Earth. There's literally 8 billion people on Earth. If you are broken up with, there is a high percentage chance that the next partner you're going to have is better for you. If you are fired, there is a good chance that your next job is going to be more fun and pay you more. Stop being scared of adversity. Being ghosted, being dumped, being fired are often the best thing that ever happened to you. Everyone has just decided universally that it's the worst. The end. You like that one, Mike? That one hit you a little bit. I know you. That one hit. That one. That one hit for you. You're happy, right? That was good, right? I actually felt that on you right now. Good, good. Shit. And Mike's huge garage sale coming up this Saturday or he's fired. We all know that. Oh man, I'm in a really good mood. I love doing this show. I'm gonna do this show a lot. Brandon o', Neal, my girl cheated on me. Good, Brandon, that's good. I'm being serious. I know everyone like a bunch of youngsters work here. I'm looking at all of you. Who cares? My point of view on that is you got lucky that you got to the truth. Now you get to make a decision. How about this? I wouldn't even judge you. And if you've decided to forgive her and get. Everyone's allowed to do everything. Everything's allowed. Who the fuck are you living by? What's the. Do you know how many people right now have lived happily and successfully and prosperly and happy for the last 50 years after one of the spouses decided to forgive the other spouse for an infidelity that's profound. Who the fuck makes the rules? Good for Brandon that she cheated on him. It's given him clarity of the option. By the way, some of you need to get cheat on to kick you into gear. A lot of on this show this morning need to get cheated on to wake them the up because they're taking their partner for granted because they got lazy. They need to wake the up. By the way, this show puts me in a very different mood, right? This show puts me in a very different mood than my normal self. All right, let's go to the next question.
