Ep 342 | Playing Dumb

Austin shares that he has been struggling to manage his computer's storage and memory, often getting notifications about running low on space. The group discusses the differences between Mac and PC users in dealing with these types of issues.

Austin recounts his recent experience helping his sister buy her first new car. He describes the negotiation tactics used by the car salesperson, including the "four-square" method, and how he tried to advocate for a monthly payment his sister could afford.

The group discusses the pros and cons of buying a brand new car versus a lightly used one. Austin explains his preference for "newly used" vehicles to avoid the initial depreciation, while his sister wanted the certainty of a new car and warranty.

John shares that he recently spent time with people in their early 20s and made observations about how they rationalize their decisions, often justifying them after the fact rather than making choices purely based on principles.

John and Amer mention that they have additional private conversations on their Patreon group, the "Weekly Ballers", where they discuss more personal and financial topics that they don't want to share publicly.
