My Advice to Catholic Young Men:  https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/my-advice-to-catholic-young-men

Items Six through Ten discussed today:
• #6:  Obtain a real, marketable skill, or several skills
• Do not aspire to minimum wage, or entry level jobs, these get rolled over by technology and are truly dead end
• Don’t just get the skills, excel at those skills, be in demand
• Develop a solid work ethic, give above and beyond mere expectations
• Dress appropriately for your job, if you look respectable, act respectable, you will be respected
• ----------------------------------------------------------
• #7: Learn financial responsibility and practice it
• Step 1 here is the skill part above [6]
• Step 2 is the debt part [5], discussed in the previous episode
• Step 3 is always use cash for purchases where you can, if you want less tracking
• Learn about financial diversification, compound interest, Gold, Silver, Bitcoin
• Try to have a side-gig or hustle – preferably something you have a passion for or fulfills you or both
• Create financial goals and plans to reach them, then execute those plans
• -------------------------------------------------------------
• #8:  Control Social Media Usage
• Too much social media usage is bad for the body, mind, and soul, so men [and women] need to control how much social media they consume
• Men should be different. Use social media to master communication skills, market yourself, your skills, and your business if you have one
• Use it to learn how to communicate, debate, and even argue effectively
• Always communicate with Christen charity
• ------------------------------------------------------------------
• #9:  Pick good friends – very important
• Use your bible to memorize this verse:  1Cor 15:33 “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
• If you hang out with immoral people, dishonest people, or criminals, their evil will corrupt you
• Stay away from people who have a persistently negative outlook on the world
• Those who are overly critical or mean-spirited, and those who always see themselves as the victim whilst refusing to take any accountability for their life. They will poison you with their toxicity.
• And here is another verse to memorize: Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another”, hang out with men who make you sharper and better
• And now here is a suggestion that may be very controversial:  if you are married, have no women friends!  You can have acquaintances, you can have professional colleagues, but having another woman as a friend is playing with dynamite.  Don’t do it
• ----------------------------------------------------------
• #10:  Be honest in your dealings.  Tell the truth
• This really follows from [1, 2] from the previous episode and really determines the type of person you are in everyday life, not when you are feeling holy
• Honesty in all your dealings is the foundation of having integrity
