Vegas & the Savings Account Analogy

Last weekend was EPIC.

I saw some legends perform (shoutout to the bros Shane Gillis, DJ Pauly D, & Gryffin).

I danced my face off.

I crushed drunk pizza with my brother.

Time well spent.

(Also, Michelob Ultra… you can thank me later for keeping your lights on this month.)

During my drive home I thought about the Savings Account analogy. As your trusted Fitnancial Advisor I’d like to share it with you.

Think of your health & fitness as a Savings Account. Every healthy choice you make is a deposit into your account. Every unhealthy choice you make is a withdrawal.

"If your choices are beautiful, so too will you be." — Epictetus & “If your choices are healthy, so too will you be.” — Stevictetus

You’re the sum of your choices. Your savings account is the sum of your healthy choices (minus your withdrawals).

Try to make as many deposits as possible and grow your savings as much as possible over time. That way, when you make a withdrawal you’ll still be in a great place fitnancially.

I made some MASSIVEwithdrawals last weekend. Withdrawals so big my bank thought it was fraud and froze my accounts…

During & after Gryffin’s set at Encore Beach Club (taking a nice little power nap).

BUT…

When I got back home I felt pretty damn good. Not great, but, like… way better than I should have after my weekend of devilry.

I credit this to the 20+ years of deposits I’ve made into my savings account. And I’ve earned some serious compound interest over the past few years.

Compare my experience to Timmy. Timmy has no savings. He’s somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs begin to take hold. He’s already feeling a bit lightheaded and his bender is just getting started. He’s in for a rough weekend and an even rougher recovery.

Poor Timmy. Timmy should’ve hired a Fitnancial Advisor years ago.

Let’s say, for example, I had $1,000,000 in my health savings account heading into Vegas. Even if I spent something insane like $100,000, that’s only 10%. I still have $900,000 left.

Meanwhile, Timmy is going to Vegas with $9 in his health savings account. He spends $17 on Red Bull & cigs at the gas station in Barstow. Timmy’s already in the red. Timmy’s fucked.

I got home, unpacked, and went right to the grocery store. Lift weights, carry groceries. I went for a nice little walk and made one of my nice little dinners. I was right back into my good habits, my healthy lifestyle, and right back to making deposits into my savings account.

Just because I went on a little

Bender (hardly know ‘er!)

doesn’t mean I blew through my entire life savings.

Remember: If you get right back to your healthy choices and good habits… What happens in Vegas can, in fact, stay in Vegas…

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF HAVING A NICE LITTLE BODY…

Stay safe out there.
