the above approach. we need to model and re-do better our campaign mechanics. we need to reach out better to latinos. we need to soften our tone on social issues. but there is an interesting divide going on between the bobby jindals and the chris christie of the world, the republican governors, versus some of the republican insiders who might be eyeing the white house. and bobby jindal s argument was, look, we need to get away from the divisive budget battles that are occurring in washington, d.c. they re not doing us any good. let s focus on what s happening in the states, let s focus on the economy. let s look at what we re doing outside of washington, d.c. but on the other hand, you re seeing the marco rubios of the world focus on immigration reform, from his perch on capitol hill. you re seeing paul ryan work on the republicans budget. so there is that interesting outsider versus insider dynamic going on. fascinating. we always say governors are pragmatic, and that seems to be w
faces with 50 choices we could do with our money. go out to lunch, the truth is if we just get these big wins in order, we don t have to worry about the little things. so our willpower is limited. let s focus in on the big things this life, like spending time with our family, being better at work and not worry being the little things. brian: you talk about something like automatic withdrawals. for example, into roth iras, 401(k)s, set the percentage and forget about it. exactly. that s worth more than any budget you could ever do. when that money comes and you get paid through your paycheck, some will go to your 401(k). some to an ira, maybe some saving for your kids education that. is way more important than keeping a line item budget on all your minor expenditures. steve: this has been interesting because it flies in the face of what a lot of financial people say. they don t like me very much because i say the advice doesn t work. let s focus on what works. not what sounds g
