How To Waste Your Life (Or Hopefully, Not) Sb1710 | The Stacking Benjamins Show Video

Ever feel like you're working hard but getting nowhere? You're not alone—and you might be stuck in a productivity trap, not a purpose-driven plan. In this episode of The Stacking Benjamins Show, we tackle the big one: how to avoid wasting your life. (No pressure.)

Joe Saul-Sehy kicks things off with a tongue-in-cheek nod to all the ways we fritter away time—before pivoting into a power-packed conversation on building meaningful goals and avoiding common life derailers.

He’s joined by two all-star minds in money and behavior:

● Paula Pant from Afford Anything, who reminds us that "you can afford anything—but not everything," and
● Jordan Grumet from Earn & Invest, who offers the life-and-death perspective (literally—he’s a hospice doctor) on why we need to act now, not later.

Together with OG and Doug, the roundtable unpacks six common ways people unknowingly waste their lives, including:

• Being "busy" instead of effective
• Letting fear of failure hijack your plans
• Overthinking every move
• Paralysis from too many choices
• Constant hustle with no progress
• Indecision dressed up as careful planning

You’ll hear hard-earned lessons, subtle mindset shifts, and tips for creating financial and personal momentum. Plus:

• The surprising link between indecision and regret, backed by Dr. Ellen Langer’s research
• Smart strategies for eliminating distractions and taking better action
• The difference between motion and movement—especially when it comes to your goals and your money

And, of course, we sprinkle in some classic basement banter, a rowdy trivia throwdown, and Joe’s favorite kind of weekend preview (the kind where no one actually follows their own advice).

Why this episode is worth your time:
Whether you’re staring down your 2025 goals or still recovering from a rough Q1, this is your shot of clarity. No judgment—just real talk from people who’ve been there, made the spreadsheet, and occasionally lit it on fire.

🎯 You’ll walk away with:

• A clearer idea of what’s holding you back
• Practical ways to structure smarter financial goals
• Permission to stop doing all the things and start doing the right things
