Thanks for the shoutout! And I liked the tip about timing goals in “streaks.” I’m gonna apply this to my Italian lessons. I started doing so well, practicing every day, and then I just fell off. Been looking for motivation to start again and I think this tip can help. Looking forward to hearing from you again next week:)
Hi Mr. Yang! I think you are doing incredible work with your YouTube channel.
I was wondering if you could continue to do "visualization" videos which illustrate the value of money, what money can buy, and what a billion dollars "feels" like (the massive amount of rice gave weight to the airy concept of 1b).
I have a hard time visualizing big numers, and the value of big numbers, ie: what large amounts of money look like, and what they can buy.
I wonder if you could compare what an average middle class person's life costs (using rice to show the cost of education, of food, of gas money, of a car, of living expenses, of medical bills) against what the cost of a rich person's life looks like (using rice to show how much their car costs, how much their home costs, how much money they save, etc).
One of my dreams would be to conceptualize money like this... Say, if I read about the military getting a billion dollar investment from the government, I would like to think "Wow, that could buy 5 tanks, or save 500 lives, or build a new bridge!" But I can't really think like that yet.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. Keep doing the work you're doing.
I could see you making educational videos in the style of Crash Course and creating content for students in the future!
Hi Andrew, I'll try to find more ways to incorporate visualizing big numbers in future videos, or ways to contextualize numbers further. I also saw your comment in other places you posted it, I appreciate the thought you put into your comment

For sure... I need to startup my workout habit again :) Thank you!
Yo Humphrey - have you done a video on robo-advisors yet? Would love to know your thoughts.
