“This Is Why You’re Broke!” - How to Un-F*ck Your Life in 2025 - Ken Coleman (Video)
This is a 22 December 2024 video.
Goethe said, “Tell me who you spend time with and I will tell you who you are.” It’s not just people. What you read, what you watch, what you think about—your life comes to look exactly like your surroundings. Choose wisely.
People typically spend time with individuals they are close to, like family members, friends, romantic partners, colleagues, classmates or neighbors; the amount of time spent with each group varies depending on personal circumstances and preferences. During adolescence, most time is spent with parents, siblings and friends. As people enter adulthood, they spend more time with partners, children and coworkers. As people get older, they tend to spend more time alone.
The saying “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with” highlights the significance of being intentional about who you surround yourself with.
