  • 256 Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage Or Keep The Cash? - Simple Programmer Podcast

    21/10/2016 Duration: 09min

    There is a lot of discussions when it comes to if you should pay off your house when it comes to real estate investment. I struggled with it myself when I first began to invest in Real Estate. There is no right or answer to this question. Real Estate can be a really complex thing with a lot of variables and you should be able to come up with the right solution for you, in your specific case. In that situation, you'll need to evaluate if the interest rate of your house will justify you paying off it. For example, if you are able to compensate this investment with other investment and it shows as a lucrative option, then this should be a good idea.

  • 255 Be Willing To Pay 2x The Price For Everything - Simple Programmer Podcast

    20/10/2016 Duration: 15min

    Everything that we do causes a reaction. Our actions are always balanced by some kind of reaction. Sometimes, this reaction comes before our action and this is what we call that "everything has a price". However, a lot of people don't know how to handle with that "price" and it is easy to see that they end up being frustrated or even mad about it. Paying the price for your actions is something that we all need to do, sooner or later. The best thing, so, would be to be willing to pay twice the price for everything you do. If you're willing to pay twice the price you're expecting, you're not only going to get much better results but also you're going to enter in a mindset where everything you do will come off as profit, and it will make you happier.

    Envy is something funny right? Here is the definition of "Envy" according to Dictionary.com: "noun, plural envies. 1. a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc. 2. an object of such feeling: Her intelligence made her the envy of her classmates." There is no need to lie here. Let's be honest with each other. I've been there too. I know that you've been envious of someone at least during some part of your life. There are situations where we simply can control how we feel about someone else's success. We start to feel a feeling that we don't even know how to define. Something starts to burn inside of us... That's envy. So, how can you start enjoying someone else's success instead of start hating that someone is making more success than you? How can you shift your mindset when it comes to envying the success of someone?

    Lots of programmers work with automation and creating solutions for companies to reduce costs and increase the profit of whoever hire them.

Over and over, especially nowadays, we see more and more people complaining about all of those things, having a lot of difficulties building self-trust, self-worthiness, and self-confidence.
