Bill Burr talks about living a debt free life, investing in tangible stuff like Gold and Real Estate and not falling in the debt trap of student loans, credit cards and expensive cars.
Podcast Name – A Comedy and Philosophy Podcast

It’s popular to call college a scam, but it isn’t. Scams give you nothing. College is just overpriced. And they’re a bargain if you’re majoring in high-demand fields. If you want to try to build something with your friends, more power to you. You’re young. You can take risks. But almost every business fails. People never understand how low their likelihood of success is — no matter how hard they work. If you get an Engineering or a computer science degree or biochemistry or something like that, and you don’t dick around in college, and you actually value education and enjoy learning, you’ll never worry about money. You’ll be fine.
Dude tvs are cheap as hell. People are making fun of bill for having a tv that's to small because they know he paid more for that small tv back then than he would have paid for a tv twice the size now. I paid less than 300 for a 43 inch tv.
It's not like this in Saudi Arabia. The public universities here in Saudi Arabia pays thier bachelor degree students around 264$ a month just because they're students. Few days ago I got my payment + an extra 266$ because I got good grades in the last 2 semesters.
60 months × 264$ = 15,840$ Universeties spend 15,840$ for every student.
Join the military at 18 Do college in the evening for free while in the military Get out after 4 years and be 22 College is free on Post-9/11 GI Bill Be a 23 year old College senior with cash, car, line of credit, can buy alcohol, 4 years working experience and NO DEBT
I am 30 years old and I'm listening to this. Lol. Its too late for us 30 year olds. All my college buds are high rolling lawyers, doctors, or other prestigious careers. When I hang out with my college buddies I hear mofos go 'I discovered an aspect of laminar flow calculations to allow better simulation of liquids' or 'im the first person on this country to launch a satellite' etc. Its too late to be great fellow thirty year olds, but its not too late to earn, save and live comfortably within your means.
You literally have to be as successful as one of the world's most popular comedians to own the place you live in nowadays. I think it's only a matter of time before everybody is renting. Even the owners of apartment complexes will be renting someplace else.
Billy Burr you are an entrepreneur… True wealth is living well below your means. When an emergency happens… like a doctor bill, car repairs etc out of left field it is no sweat. I eat very good food, live in a 1 bedroom Apt and have no debt. I’m single and don’t have anyone nagging me. Life is peaceful…
Agree with everything except the dream thing. Some people do have dreams that are pretty much unattainable for the majority of people. I think what the butcher was trying to say was a comment on society “everyone wants to be a star” it’s like now and how kids want to be influencers. It’s not a dream, it’s a picture of the state of society and what we value. Bill’s different, he wasn’t aspiring to be a star he just wanted to do what he loved. But I don’t think the butcher knew that. How could he?
I’m behind the 8 ball so speak but on a considerably smaller scale and my job is dragging their feet with my pay increase. My first goal is to pay down all debt and save. I still need a car so I’m looking at low price beaters

Do you prefer investing in Gold or Crypto? Or something else 🤔👇🏻
Gold? When you go to the gas pump, see if they’ll take a gold I got for payment.

That's the entire MO of paying person just enough. They go spend and are now bound to their desk. Ideal consumer/employee. Yugh.
You go into a mall. Can buy anything And then you don't. Well put. Because it's crap. Consumer goods. DVD Marvel Love & Thunder. Crap!
No the next Jimmy Hendrix is in his room playing guitar but to misguided corporate pop. Todays Zeppelin is fucking Blink 182.
I’m not sitting here worried about Bill in retirement. He will be okay. His grandkids will be more than okay

“I’m not a bright guy…… I went after a passion” that makes you a very bright guy, Bill
