Adam Kwayo: 本期节目的核心是探讨如何追求财务独立,创造热爱的生活,以及投资健康的重要性。我们希望了解如何在追求财务自由的同时,享受生活,活在当下。 Diandra Denier-Fields: 我是营养学家,也是两次癌症幸存者。我的财务独立之旅始于与丈夫一起规划旅行,我们优先选择体验而非物质,这改变了我对生活的看法。第一次癌症诊断让我专注于事业和财务目标,第二次诊断则让我更注重当下,珍惜与家人的时光。现在,我不再追求高收入的工作,而是专注于帮助癌症幸存者,创建能够帮助他人的事业,即使收入减少,我也感到更加充实和快乐。我将财务独立视为一种工具,它让我有更多选择,去追求自己真正想要的生活。 Diandra Denier-Fields: 我认为投资健康包括关注身体活动和营养。健康的饮食并不意味着匮乏,而是选择富含纤维、蛋白质和益生菌的食物,例如糙米和豆类,以促进肠道健康和整体健康。关于鸡蛋是否健康存在争议,关键在于平衡饮食和个人情况,高纤维饮食有助于降低胆固醇,如果仍然高,则应考虑基因检测。大多数美国人都没有蛋白质缺乏,除非有医学证据表明需要额外补充,否则不必过度关注蛋白质摄入量。养成健康饮食习惯的关键是循序渐进,从每天的一餐开始,例如高纤维的早餐或绿色的奶昔,逐渐增加健康食物的摄入量。机会基金是除了养老金以外的资金,可以用于抓住当前机会,投资自己或提升生活品质,而不必担心影响未来的财务状况。对财务独立初期的人的建议是建立机会基金,在保证基本储蓄的同时,也为抓住机会和提升生活品质预留资金。对初学冥想和正念的人的建议是找到适合自己的方式,不必拘泥于传统形式,例如散步冥想或夜间写作都可以帮助你放松身心,提升觉知。
